ARE STILL GUESSING
PLANS FOR WASHINGTON RAIL
WAY AND ELECTRIC COMPANY.

The guessing contest in regard to the
reorganization plans for the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, after the
voting trust is dissolved, still continues
without adding very much to the stock of
knowledge on the subject. If it was posi-
BILE for any one to know where the COM
mon stock of the company is located then
there would not be as much uncertainty as
to what would happen when the stockhold-
ers get a chance to express their wishes in
regard to the active management of the
system.
Even Mr.. Frederick c. Stevens. who is in
the city for an end-of-the-week visit to
look after his interests here has placed
himself in the class of guessers on this
subject. A reporter of The Star had a
talk with him this morning in his office
in the Commercial National Bank, of which
he is president. When he was asked what
he had to say in regard to the future of
the management of the street railway sys-
tenn referred to, he promptly replied that
he had nothing to say, for the reason that
anything he might say on the subject
would be mere guess.
Mr.. Stevens did not know whether Mr.
Loeb or some other man would be made
the president of the company at the be-
ginning of the year. when it is thought
the change in the presidency will be made.
1t seems to be taken for granted that Mr..
McDermott will serve out the year, which
ends next January. He has said in the
course Of interview which appeared
recently in the newspapers that he will
not continue for another year at the head
Of the system.
Mr.. Stevens Interest.
There are some people who keep posted
relative to this situation who believe that
Mr. Stevens will have some direct connec-
ton with the new management, especially
if it turns out that Loeb is to be placed
at the head of the road. At one time Mr..
Stevens was president of the company

the Usual Result

Portland. Ore, July 31.-Mrs.
Thomas Ryan was fatally burned and

death late yesterday in a fire that de-
stroyed the family home a few miles
