GoRMAN MAY SUCCEED BIDDLE
Former Freight Traffic Manager of
Santa Fe VIII Get $25, 900 Salary.

In commenting on the recent an
nouncement that w. B. BiddIe. freight
traffic manager of the Santa Fe, was
to go to the Rock Island as third vice
president in charge of traffic the Chi
cago Tribune says:
The official announcement of the ap
pointment was made by President
Mather Of the Rock Island and caused
surprise in the railroad world, as Mr.
Biddle generally was supposed to be in
bad standing on account of his start
ling testimony before the interstate
commerce commission in regard to the
rebates paid to the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company. It was this which start
ed the crusade against the payment of
certain refundments and led to attacks
on Paul Morton, now secretary of the
navy and formerly second vice preSi-
dent of the Santa Fe in charge of traf-
fic.
I 1t was believed at the time of Mr.
Mortons appointment to the cabinet
that Mr.. Biddle would be named by
the Santa F'e to succeed him, but for
come. Instead the latter came into
criticism before the interstate commerce
commission, and it was believed his
chances to secure the vacant place had
been ruined.
The change in the Santa Fe official
list is said by some to be the result of
the Colorado fuel and iron company re-
bate case, which recently gained such
phatically denied that there was any
rupture between Mr.. Biddle and Presi-
dent Ripley, it was runlOred that for
mer cordial relations were so strained
that Mr.. Biddle felt that a change in
position would be acceptable.
Several years ago the management of
the Rock Island tried to secure him for
the position of third vice president, in
charge of freight traffic At that time
Mr.. Biddle refused to go unless placed
in charge of the passenger trasf-
fic also. As third vice president of the
Rock Island. he will enjoy a salary of
SIS. 000 which is nearly double his pres
ent salary.
Mr.. Biddle was born in Beloit. Wis,
November u. 1856. and began his rail-
way career as a freight brakeman on
the Santa Fe. In 1882 he became chief
clerk in the general freight office of the
Atlantic and Pacific. He left that road
after holding the position of division
freight and passenger agent to return
to the Santa F'e as assistant general
freight agent In 1890 he became as
SiStant freight manager. and four years
later was appointed freight traffic man
ager. He has held that position ten
years up to the time he resigned to
leave the Santa F'e for the Rock Is
land.
Mr.. Biddle's successor with the Santa
Fe probably will be James E. German
now assistant traffic manager of the
road This was considered certain yes
terday, although no official announce
ment was made
Mr.. Biddle is now on his way to Cali
fOrnia to enjoy a short holiday before
taking his new post, which has been
vacant ever since J. M. johnson left
the Rock Island, under the regime Of c.
H. Warren. Mr.. Johnson is now as
sistant to Traffic Director Bird of the
Gould lines.

RAILROAD NEWS.
New York Post Discusses Santa
Fe Bond Issue.
Increases Fixed Charges ST.
100000 Annually.
INCREASED EARNINGS.
Some Comparative Figures of
Convertible Bonds.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
In Railroad Circles.

The action taken by the Santa F'e di-
rectOrs to issue for improvements $780,
100000 bonds convertible into common
stock, was generally expected says the
New York Post. Objections to the pro-
posed issue, raised principally by New
England shareholders, We're based on
the charges thus to be placed ahead Of
dividends If, as has been stated it is
the intention of the Santa F'e manage
ment to issue at once $50, 600 900 of the
bonds authorized this week, annual
fixed charges will be increased by ST.
$500 According to the statement of
earnings for the first half of the cur
rent fiscal year, published on Thursday

600. compared with 1904. It is reasOna-
bic to suppose, however. that the earn
ing power of the system viii be in
creased by the expenditure of S32, 90. 900
additional working capital: but in the
face of the published returns an in
crease of 81, 100000 in fixed charges with
decrease of s2.000000 in net earnings
would show, figuring on the basis Of
last years report, a surplus for 1905
equal to SO per cent on the common
stock.
The creation this week of the $50. OOO.-
goo Santa Fe cOnvertibles and the re-
cent announcement that the Union Pa
ci1c had outstanding SIS, 991, coo of its
original 100000 600 issue of convertibles,
raised number of queries as to why
the railroads sold this class of securi-
ties rather than stock or long-term
bonds. The answer is that convertibles
are usually issued because the interest
ranks ahead OF the dividends, ana
funds can thus be raised to a better
advantage than by the sale of stock:
and also for the reason that the annual
interest charge against earnings ulti-
mately becomes contingent instead of
fixed would be the case. if bonds
secured by a permanent mortgage were
issued 1t is intended that speculative
interest should be attached to convert
BILE bonds, but Il company issuing such
bonds convertible into common stock
