WANT LEAKE TO STAY
Resignation Of the R., F.Gp. President Opposed

II is predicted by ST ckhOlders OF the
f., +. a =. r. T. that Judge Ieake will
not be- permitted 10 resign ~ president
of the road. and that the next annual
meeting OF the stockholders, November
10. will witness "a change in the tactics
of the road controlling this line.
II il said that Judge Leake resigned
because of his inability of obtaining the
support Of those representing the con-
trolling interests. 1t i also said that the
new railroad laws are 80 eXactng that
officials guilty OF the slightest lapse, al
though unintentional, are subject TO the
most severe penalties.
Judge l.eake j. both general counsel and
president. and the dual tax upon his
mental powers j. very great. Many
believe that the difficulties could be- obyi-
ated 10y allowing Judge Leake To con-
time ~ president. and permitting him to
have the advice Of counsel on eXtraordi-
nary occasions.
The Pennsylvania road il not in a
position To 20 too far The Pennsyl-
vania road has too many fayOrs To ask
OF Virginia To take any chances.
