SALARIES LARGER
THAN PRESIDENTS
Many Heads of Large Corporations
Receive Over Fifty
Thousand.

Ii is estimated that there are fully a
draw larger salaries than the preSi-
dent of the United States. This does
not include the income of millionaireS
from investments or the earnings of
those in business for themselves, but
only those persons who are working on
regular stipulated salaries.
Neither does the list include the in
come of lawyers. although there are a
number-like Francis Lynde Stetson,
for instance-whO receives regular an
nual retainers of $50, 900 a year from j.
T. Morgan & CO., simply for the privi-
lege of calling on him first in any le-
come interested. This sum does not, of
course. represent anything like the en-
tire income of Mr.. Stetson.
The income of corporation lawyers
varies a great deal from year to year.
The largest single fee ever paid law
yer for conducting a single case is be-
lieved to have been received by Will
lam Nelson Cromwell for his work in
connection with the Panama canal. He
is said to have been paid a fee of 81
00O, 900 for his work in that connection.
James B. Dill is said TO have received
fee of 81, 100000 for settling the suit
between Andrew Carnegie and H. c.
Frick w C. Guthrie is also under
stood to have received fee of 1000
600 for breaking the will of the late
Henry Bradley Plant. These are be-
lieyed to be the largest single fees
ever paid lawyers in this country
The largest salary paid any bank
president in New York is understood
To be $4,000. The presidents of sever
al of the large Wall street banks and
trust companies are known to receive
this salary. There is also one bank
president in Chicago who receives a
salary of $4,000 a year. AS a rule,

Big Results Expected From New
Department Of Woodman

TO FOLLOW UP SUSPENSIONS
And Restore TO Good Standing Individ-
uals and Camps That Have
Been Dropped.

Mai. G.. W. Halves. the Woodman
head clerk. is responsible for the or
ganization OF the new branch OF his
Office known as the suspension depart
ment, reference TO which was made
in these columns yesterday. II viii
be a department of forms and records,

pension 10 camps and members. and

the head clerk, which will result eth
er In prompt restoration to good stand
ing of the members or camps affected
OF in eliciting definite information that
such camps or members can not be
brought back into the society. Maj.
Halves. in speaking OF the new depart
ment. said today:
at has been my Judgment for the
past two or three years that gains
in membership and in number of local
camps will be made in the future fully
as much through saving the members
and camps we have. as in securing
new recruits. When We were making
enormous gains in new members and
camps each year. we did not notice tie
heavy losses through suspension. Lit
tie attention was paid TO the member
who was suspended because of non
payment OF dues or assessments.
Gains Not m Large ms Formerly.
Competitive conditions in the field.
however. have made IL impossible for
any society or life insurance company
to- make the gains which all were
making a few years ago. and il is
therefore necessary to devote more at
tention to keeping our members in
line. and in ali cases effect reinstate-
ments or definitely learn whether or
not the member is permanently lost
to US.
1.-The new department will also en-
able us to- determine whether or not
the local camp clerks are active and
competent in the discharge OF their
official duties. They are the local
agents OF the head camp. and upon
their activity depends. in large meas
ure, the maintenance Of the good
standing OF the membership of the To-
cal camp. \ check will be made on
the work OF each local clerk each
month. and clerks whose camps show
an unreasonable percentage Of suspen-
sjons will be removed from Office I'M
der the provisions of section lbs Of the
head camp bylaws. which give author
ity TO the head clerk to remove from
Office any incompetent. negligent. or

My judgment is that this new sys-

DELANO QUITS 0
General Manager East of Missouri
to Leave en-
Jan. 10.
F.E. WARD MAY SUCCEED HIM
Latter, it is Said, Will be Brought
From Great Northern by
Mr.. Hill.

Frederic A. Delano for nearly four
years general manager of the Burling-
| tons lines east of the Missouri river.
| has resigned, effective Jan. 10. 1t is
not stated who will succeed him. bur
! it is rumored that Frank E. Ward,
now general manager of the Great
Northern, will be asked to take charge
of the Burlington's operation under
Vice President Willard. Should Mr..
Ward be brought to Chicago it is like
ly that George T. Siade. now general
superintendent of the Great Northern.
will be made general manager of that
road
Although Mr.. Delano's resignation
was entirely voluntary, it is said that,
now he insists on leaving, it is Mr.
Hills desire to have a Great Northern
operating man on the Burlington This
plan would give an opportunity for the
advancement of Mr.. Slade, who is Al.
Hills son-in-law.
Denial of RumOr.
1t was rumored, but emphatically de.
MED by the management, that G. w
Hoidrege. general manager of the Bur
lington's lines west of the river. also
| had resigned and that Mr.. Ward would
be placed in charge of the entire sys-
tenn. This denial was made officially
yesterday, and it also was officially
stated that ME-. Delano's resignation
would not be followed by others in the
operating department.
1t was learned yesterday that Mr..
Delano resigned several months ago,
but was induced to remain with the
company. He stated yesterday that
| he probably would take his family to
Europe for a tour and then return to
| Chicago to carry out plans he has been
| forming for some time.
| Mr.. DelanO is a graduate of Harvard
and entered the Burlington's service
| 20 years ago as apprentice in erect
| ing shops at Aurora. He advanced
rapidly in the service through the po-
| sitions of assistant to the second vice
president, superintendent of terminals.
at Chicago and superintendent of mo-
| tive power.
| Gasoline Engine Not Success.
The operating department of the
Burlington has recommended discon-
| tinuing experiments with the gasoline
motor, which they had hoped to per-
| feet for use on branch lines, until it is
| possible to secure better engine. 1t
has been found necessary to procure
| a gasoline engine of either four or
eight cylinders and having at least 200
horse power. Such an engine, it is
said. it is impossible to obtain at pres
ent The engine which has been used
to generate electricity, which is the
motive power of the motor, is three
cylinder type of $50 horse power. The
report on the matter declares that
| with maximum loads the motor has
proved unreliable. The motor and the
experiments have thus far cost the
Burlington about $4,000, the engine
alone costing 81 500.
