estimated that at one portion of the

the Office Likely TO be Vacated by w.

dent Of the new mills of the steel cor
poratlon at Gary, Ind. has been pre-
scented to leaders Of the corporation for
consideration as a possible successor TO
w. Ellis Corey II Corey resigns or is

Thorp's name goes up with strong
backing, among his sponsors being ".
Z. Snyder, who himself had been ap-
preached by the steel corporation with
a view TO elevating him 10 the presi-
dency as part of a deal by which Sny-
der's pig iron interests could be merged
with the steel corporation
Snyder will not become president Of
the corporation. This comes from close
friends, but it is not improba Bile that
the deal which the corporation sought
to make may be accomplished on other
terms One OF Snyder's terms is I'M
derstood to be that Thorp be the next
president of the corporation.
NO matter whether Thorp is chosen
or rot, there is a story back of the
whole affair OF how the Industrial king
saw in the young man material for a
great general and pushed him forward
at every opportunity. Many years ago
w. p. Snyder built the steel works at
Clarion and put in charge young
Thorp, whose looks he liked.
Mr. Thorp is 40 years old. He was
graduated from the engineering de-
partment of the University of Wiscon-
sin and since that time has been in the
steei industry in Pittsburg. Before
coming to Chicago he was superintend-
ent of the Carnegie Steel company s
works at Clarion. Pa. He was made
second vice president of the United

NOT VERY ASSURING.

What President Blair of the Buck
hannon and Northern railroad said
yesterday at Morgantown doesn't
somehow quite satisfy those who mad
hoped for speedy operations on the
B. and N. The best Mr.. Blair could
say was he "belleved" that track-lay-
ing gangs would be at work on the
line next spring" That is several
months off and we have heard that
same line Of talk now for three or
four years, so we don't place much
credence in 1t. Mr. Blair 1t Is said
"rliculed" what was said in the Fair
mont papers about the P. and L. E.
and the B. and 0. being "hand in
hand" in the plans for the B. and N.
construction. So far as we know the
Fairmont papers have never said the
companies were hand in hand" but
COL Schoonmaler, vice president and
general manager Of the P. and L. T.,
says the B. and N, is held Jointly by
the P. and L. E., the Pennsylvania and

ing so per, cent. Of the stock and the
Pennsylvania and the B. and 0. each

ed as allied companies it doesn't
seem so ridiculous" after all that
they might have something to say
about what is going to be done along
the line. Col. schoonmRker the other
day said he Thought" there would
soon be dividing up Of the property
owned by the three roads and then
Something would be done. We had
heard that before several times, SO
that isn't much more assuring than
