No little billion dollar trust for him.

Stubs Will Not Retire,

According to the New York CONNER.
cial there is 40 ground for the reports
recently circulated that j.. c. Stubs,
traffic director of the Hartman lines,
is about to retire. The Commercial
says:
One of the silly statements in circu-
lation is that because rates to the Pa.
cific coast from the Atlantic seaboarI
are to be made by eastern lines, ]. c.
Stubs, traffic director of the Hartman
lines has been so shorn of power that
he will retire to private life. The fact
is that this rate matter is but a slight
element in the multitude of duties and
responsibilities devolving upon Mr..
Stubs, and does not offer the slight.
est excuse for saying he is to be
shelved.
Nothing short of the complete
breakdown OF a vigorous man with
marvellous endurance is ever likely to
make it necessary tor Mr.. Stubs ~
retire, and he takes altogether too
good care of himself in that regard to
be incapacitated in that way"

Arizona. 1t is stated that the Super

statement to the prosecution through
his friendship with Heney. The assist

Sanderson could be severed from the
