NEWS FROM ALL
THE RAILROADS
c. R. Grey Is Promoted to
General Manager.
WICHITAN Is ADVANCED
Items of Interest About Differ
ent Employees.

G. r. Grey, who has been superintendent
of transportation of the Frisco system for
the. past two years, has been appointed
general manager of the Frisco and Illinois
Eastern lines, with headquarters at St.
Louis. The appointment was announced
in ST. Louis Thursday night and the news
reached Wichita yesterday morning.
Mr.. Grey is purely a Wichita product
and is well known in this city. He began
his career in the railroad business "a this
place years ago His rise from that time
to this has indeed been remarkable.
Mr. Greys first railroad experience was
received here with the Frisco. He began
at'the bottom OF the ladder. From posi-
ton of a clerk Nj. Grey was promoted
to another at Neodesha. From that place
he returned again to Wichita about one
year later in the capacity of commercial
agent for the company. He held the latter
office for about three years from which
place he was promoted to that of division
superintendent for the company at Ne
odesha. 1t was while holding that posi-
ton that he was appointed to the one as
superintendent. of transportation with
headquarters at Springfield, Mo.
By this action the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois practically becomes branch of
the ST. Louis and San Francisco. the man.
agement of both being identical. 1t is
understood that the traffic and transporta
ton departments of both companies will
be consolidated. A great saving of ex-
pense, 1t is claimed, will be effected.
In the promotion of c. r. Grey to the
other Wichita man who will undoubtedly
rise higher in the railroad world. He is
Leroy Kramer. who is at present private
secretary to Mr.. Grey. Mr.. Kramer has
acted in the capacity of secretary to Mr..
Grey for several years and has already
risen on numerous occasions to keep pace
with the promotions of his superior off,
cial. There is little doubt but what Mr..
Kramer will be promoted so as to con-
tinue in the capacity of private secretary
to the new general manager instead of to
the superintendent of transportatio ton.
A. j. Davidson, the newly appointed
president of the Frisco system made the
appointment of Mr.. Grey The latter
takes the place of r. r. Hammond who
will now be second vice president of the
entire Frisco system. including the Chica-
go and Eastern Illinois. with offices in
Chicago and st. Louis

Clear weather was general in all sec
lions yesterday except over the Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys. Snow was
falling at the morning observation at
Kansas City, Omaha, Huron and More
head, and rain at Chicago. The trough
of low pressure that overlay the middle
west Thursday morning moved eastward
to the middle Mississippi valley, with a
wide extent central over Iowa. 1t has
caused high winds, with moderate pre-
cipitation. over the Arkansas, Missouri
and Mississippi valleys. The following
heavy precipitation was recorded during
the. past twenty-four hours: Morehead.
Mimi, go inches.
Although the morning was considered
very cold by most people the thermom-
eter at the weather Office registered only
81 degrees as the minimum temperature
The fierce wind from the northwest made
il seem colder than it really was. In the
early morning il was at the rate of thirty
miles an hour and at IL O'Clock had
reached a velocity of forty-five miles an
hour. with occasional spurts of fifty-five
miles. Fortunately. these only lasted for
few minutes at time. Mr.. Todd ex-
pected it to be clear today. but slightly
colder this morning.

OLD WHITE HOUSE GROW
BEATS WEATHER BUREAU
Familiar Bird Caws on the Day Before
Rain, and Accurately Forecasts
Atmospheric Changes.

An old crow that has established his
permanent headquarters in one of the
tallest trees in the White House yard IS
attracting much attention because O.
the veracity Of his weather predictions
He has the Government Weather Bureau
skinned to death" 50 far as Washing
ton weather is concerned. while such
long range prophets as the Rev. Mr..
Hicks are beaten a block"
For five years the crow has been IA
miliar figure about the White House
grounds. and it has long been known
that he was given 10 cawing just before
storm. Lately he has been more in
evidence than usual. and for days every
rain has been accurately forecast the
day before it came by the crow. 1t has
been suggested that IN view Of the bird :
facility for prophecy, the regular dis
tribution Of forecast cards about the
White House be abandoned.
The crow is OF the common species
such as infests cornhelds and makes
grief for the farmer. He is not Of the
genuine raincrow species, a fact that
adds TO the mystery as to where he ac-
quired his sagacity in predicting weather
changes.
