Casting aside all precedent and disre-
garding the policy prevailing with the
Pennsylvania lines for a long period,
James McCrea, president Of that sys-

ton with the directorates of all hnan-
cial institutions and concentrate his
time, thought and attention to the great
railroad properties now under his di-
recticn. Mr.. McCrea takes this step
after mature elaboration. He has be-
come satisfied that as a matter of pro-
priety and to avoid any conflict of ac-
ton which might hereafter occur it
would be unwise for him to be identi-
fed officially with outside interests.

COCKTAIL LEGEND is
FAIRBANKS WATERLOO.

Columbus, Ind, Sept. 28.-Vice
President Fairbanks was defeated yes
terday for election as a lay delegate
from Indiana to the quadrennial con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, to be held in Baltimore next
May. Seven lay delegates out of
eighteen who were proposed were
elected by the Indiana conference on
joint votes of the ministerial and lay
delegates.
The vice president was not himself
a candidate. but his name was urged
by friends who assumed his election
would follow by acclamation. Instead
of this it was bitterly opposed by the
radical temperance element in the
conference, who took the ground that
electing MIN would be equivalent to
condo1ing what they regarded as an
offense against temperance. the alleg-
ed offense having been serving cock
tails and wines at the dinner to Pres
ident Roosevelt in the Fairbanks
home last Memorial day.

a decided call for the Indian made
swastika in the form of pins, hat
pins, watch charms, on silver rings.
and in belts and blankets. The great
er part of the supply of the genuine
Indian made swastikas come from this
vicinity. and while it is a common
enough ornament, it is a curiosity to
the people of other sections of the

them as genuine Navajo swastikas
Anyone who takes an interest in
the swastika lore and cares for auth

to carefully read the following arti-
Gle which is from the pen of one who
has given careful study to the subject:
"The present great craze for the
swastika as an article of adornment
has provided the public with an en-
tirely new topic of conversation Ev-
erybody is asking what the swastika
is. where it originated from and how
it came to be the fashion SO suddenly.
