Philadelphia is President McCrea's
birthplace. and be is ffty-eight years
Of age. He attended the private school
Of the Rev John w. FAIRIES and later
went to the Pennsylvania Polytechnic
school. Then he started out as a rods
man and assistant engineer to make a
name for himself II the railroad world.
His first service was with the Connells-
vile and Southern Pennsylvania road.
with which he remained from 1865 to
1867, when he became ro1smSn on con-
ing. Later he was with other roads. 1t
was in 1871 that he entered the service
of the Pennsylvania. Twenty years
from the time he began work with this
corporation he was first vice president
of the Pennsylvania lines west Of
this part of the system. In his present
position as head Of the company he
draws a salary of $4,000.
Mr. McCrea has for some years made
Plttsburg his home, and his family
have been prominent in the society of
Montgomery. The eldest son, James A
McCrea, is married and lives in New
York. Another son, Archibald Mont
gomery, lives at home, and there is a
daughter who is an exceedingly at
tractiye and well educated girl. Mr..
McCrea himself is genial and fond Of
good company, but is too busy a man
to devote much time to society. He is
81 member of the Pittsburg Country
club and spends all the time he can
spare from business on its golf links,
for he is an enthusiastic golfer and re-
lies much on outdoor exercise for the
preservation of his health and vigor.
President McCrea gave an illustra-
ton of the kind of man he is shortly
after he had entered the employ of
the Pennsylvania. There had been a
freight wreck, and before he arrived at
the part Of the system where it occur
red things were pretty well cleared up.
Anything can do?" he asked of the
foreman.
mo, I guess not" was the reply.
what! NothingT' exclaimed the
young engineer.
"Well, everything has been fixed ex-
cept removing those ties in the ditch
over there"
Forthwith young McCrea strobe over
to where the ties lay and, shouldering
one after another, carried them I'D the
embankment until all were in the
proper place. The wrecking crew gave
him the name 'Cross Tie JIM" which
stuck to him for years afterward.

sian government ordered that the New
York Life be debarred from doing bust
ness in Prussia so long as any of its
funds were invested in Industrial
stocks. 1t is alleged that .Messrs. Per
kins and Fairchild engineered a dunn
my sale of stocks to the trust company
of which Mr.. Fairchild is president and
that it was carried on the books of the
insurance company as a bona fide sale,
but put down as a loan in the books Of
the trust company. The alleged sale, it
Is said. was reported to the state super
intendent of insurance as a bona fide
sale, and this, it is claimed was false
and misleading. In making its report
the grand jury recorded it's belief that
Messrs. Perkins and Fairchild had not
protited personally by the transaction
and that. though their action was in
violation of the law. they had believed
it to be in the interest of the policy
holders
Mr. Fairchild was born at Cazenovia,
N. Y. in 1912, graduated from Harvard
university in 1863 and from the law
department of the same institution two
years later. He began the practice of
law in Albany, in 1874 became deputy
attorney general of New York state
and was attorney general in 1876 and
1877. He established law practice in
New York city and in 1885 was ap-
pointed assistant secretary of the treas
ury department during the last two
years of Mr. Cleveland's first admins
tration. Since 1889 he has been en-
gagged in banking in New York. He
was leader in the famous "antisnap'
movement in New York to secure the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland in 1892.

wa IG men are needed for big tasks.
~ The Pennsylvania railroad has
s. 81 a big task in hand in the i'm
prOyement and extension of its
facilities in New York and vicinity
and it's new president, James AIcCrea,
is big enough in every way to cope
with problems that would exhaust
many men of no small endurance and
ability He stands six feet two inches
in his stocking feet and weighs over
200 pounds, and his mental equipment
is on par with his physical.
The work of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company in tunnelng both the
North and East rivers and in estab-
fishing between them an immense I'M
derground terminal system, together
with the most magnificent railway sta
ton in the world constitutes the most
gigantic and Interesting enterprise OF
the kind ever undertaken. It required
in those who undertook the responsible
ity for it the utmost foresight and
courage. 1t was during President Cas-
salts regime that the PENNSYLVANIA
secured control of the Long Island rail
road and extended its system to the
west and south by the requirement of
subsidiary lines 50 as to create a Sys-
TEN stretching its steel bands from
Montauk Point to the Mississippi val
ley and the confines Of the Virginias
1t was a singular coincidence that
President Cassatt passed away just as
the work to which he had given the
best efforts of his life was reaching
fruition. But his successor as 0the
head Of the Pennsylvania has had a
strong hand in what has already been
done He is considered a very able
