NEW PHYSICAL
MAN FOR Y. NJ. CA.
Harry F. Pearson of Chicago
SeCured-ElWOOd Brown
Takes Old Position,

Harry F. Pearson, the first of four
assistant physical directors at the larg-
est T. NJ c. A. in the world, Chicago
Central, has been secured to take charge
of the physical department of the Y. NJ
c. A. of Salt Lake City. That does not
mean that Elwood S. Brown, who has
handled this difficult position since the
first of the year, has not made gOod-he
has made good in every particular but he
does not expect to stay in that part of
association work and exacted a promise
from the general secretary when he took
up the work that he would be relieved
as soon as another man could be secured
Brown tound some of his work rather
disorganized; he has pulled it together in
a 1lrSt-elaSs manner and proved beyond
doubt that he could be eminently success
ful IN the field of athletics, but he prefers
other departments of Y. NJ. c. A. work
for his future. His old poSition as social
director has been held for him and he
will take it up again, though at a substan-
tial increase in remuneration.
The management instructed the general
secretary to secure physical director
some five months ago. So important was
the position considered that after wide
correspondence Mr.. Cox made an extend
ed trip recently to visit a number of
cities where good men in this line hold
forth. He was told that Pearson of Chi
caso Central" was the man, ''of course,
but you can't get him." The opportunities
and fine equipment of the Salt Lake as
ISOLATION got him" however, and he will
be out in two or three weeks for a pre-
liminary look over the field
Mr.. Pearson is an athlete IF fine ply
sique and an instructor of thorough edu-
cation and wide experience. He gradu-
ated from the Portland university Of
Portland. Ore. in 1893. and took the ply
steal directors degree in Y. NJ. c. A.
institute at Chicago in 1902. Since this
time he has been engaged in his pro-
fession. the last three years in Chicago.
Mr.. Pearson is well in touch with the ad-
vance movements for municipal play
grounds and holds the view that these
things as well as his gymnasium, natato-
rum, etc, are wen within the scope de-
manding the attention of the students
of the healthful tody. Mr.. Pearson Will
ascsume his duties, relieving Mr.. Brown.

RAILROAD CRUSADE
ROOSEVELT WILL SPEAK ON OVER
CAPITALIZATION.
Executives Speech Memorial Day Will
Mark New Era In Campaign
Against COrpOrntiOnS-The
Watered Stock Question.

Chicago, April 25.-A dispatch to
The Tribune from Washington says:
Memorial Day at indianapolis will
mark the beginning of a new railroad
crusade on the part of President
Roosevelt. His speech at that time
will be devoted to the future and not
to the past. He will then explain for
for the first time in public his idea
in regard to over-capitalization of
railroads. This will be connected In
evitably with a proposition for SUI
pervision of corporations doing inter-
state business and their regulations
by the federal governments as rail-
roads are regulated today.
Every development of late shows
that most of the big lines of railroad
in the United States are vastly over
capitalized, some of them having a.
funded debt and capital stock of issues
amounting to from two to ten times
their actual cost.
1t is the purpose of the President to
get at the facts rather than to suR-
gest a remedy. but It is the facts them
selves which the railroad men are
most anxious to conceal. They were
not half so much afraid of the law as
thev are of the results OF an honestly
conducted government commission to
in0uire into the cash value of the rail-
roads and to fix the responsibility for
a vast amount of watered stock which
has been unIoaded upon the pub
lie.
