1AMES M'CREA, the new president
Of the Pennsylvania railroad sys-
ID tenn, is emphatically the man in
whom the widest human inter-
est centers just now. By his election
to succeed the late Alexander J. Cas-
satt he becomes the ruler Of the rail-
way realm which has reached the high
est point of legitimate power and eff
cheney in the world. No doubt Presi-
dent McCrea, who is democratic and
modest, would object to the title Of
railroad king" and yet there are plen-
ty Of actual monarchs who possess
less authority and are Of very much
less Importance in this modern world
than this American citizen.
The McCrea realm embraces more
than 1000 miles of lines, including
railways, ferries and canals. According
20 the latest annual report 126,OS4, 223
passengers were carried during the
year. Figured in another way, this
means that 3,O75, 4O2,s passengers
were carried single mile. The sys-
tenn moved 333, oil, 237 tons Of freight,
Dr. by similar manipulation Of figures
1t moved 29,503, 147,362 tons one mile.
The gross income Of the great realm
was $266,O69,59 For administering or
operating this realm the sum of $780,
1OO,34S was spent. The net earnings
for the year were therefore $73, 1863, 349

bombastic fellows, who delight in
blowing their own horns and forever
telling who and what they are.''
Began as a Rodsman.
When President McCrea a few days
ago went to Philadelphia and took
charge Of the general Offices of the sys-
tenn he returned to his native city. He
was born a little less than fifty-nine
years ago, his father being a Philadel-
phia physician. The boy early evinced
mathematical mind and was sent to
the Pennsylvania Polytechnic college,
At the age of seventeen he knew
enough to quit school and enter the
railroad service at the bottom of the
engineering force, his first position be-
ing that Of rodsman on the Connells-
vile and Southern Pennsylvania rail
road. This work he began Immediate
~ after the close of the civil war. and
he never has done anything but rail-
road work since.
McCrea and Cassatt, who was sew
eral years older, worked together about
this time and became good friends
Both afterward became assistant en-
s1neers, engineers and then climbed
rapidly up the slope. Years later. when
McCrea had become manager of the
lines west of Pittsburg and Cassatt
was occupying high Office in the east
ern section Of the system, the latter
heard much praise of what the western
man was doing.
"Who is this man McCrea?" incurred
Mr.. Cassatt.
HE used to be a rodsman on the G.
and S. P.,' somebody answered.
"Not Jimmie McCreaw exclaimed his
old friend.
The old time friendship was renew
ed, and thereafter Mr.. Cassatt watch
ed the career Of his younger associate
| with renewed interest In 1891 Mr.
McCrea became first vice president. in
charge Of all the lines west of Pitts
burg, and the general Office had so
much confidence in him that he was
permitted to be practically master of
the western lines. President Cassatt
it is said, frequently expressed the
hope that McCrea would succeed to the
presidency. Cassatt once said:
"McCrea thinks big"

Young McCrea, seeing the stalled
trains, was Disguised. 'Do you mean
to say that I can do nothing to help
restore traffic?" he demanded.
"Well, everything has been done ex-
cept to move those crossties out of that
d1tch,'' said the foreman.
Off came the coat of the assistant
construction engineer. McCrea began
carrying big crossties up the bank and
worked at the job until it was finished.
The wrecking crew dubbed him "Cross-
tie Jimmie" and even to this day some
Of his familiars call him that.
In Pittsburg, where he has lived for
more than twenty years, the new presi-
dent is known as Jim McCrea. This
does not imply that he lacks proper
dignity, but that he is a whole souled
sort of fellow, not too uppish for hui
man natures daily need. When his
election to the presidency was announc-
ed somebody asked a number of his
Pittsburg friends what they thought of
him. The replies were so much alike
that they were boiled down into a
composite to this effect:
Hes the finest fellow in the world,
with heart as big as a house, who
loves his fellow man as he loves him
self, who is everybody's friend and
who hasn't an enemy in the world.
There's nothing more to TELL McCrea

troll, according to the latest available
figures, of 6,O45 locomotives, 5,247 pas

vessels, making up a floating fleet Of

Add to this showing the fact that the
Pennsylvania is of vital Importance to
the development of a dozen great
states and to the industries Of a score
OF large cities, including New York
the metropolis of the new world and
the financial and commercial center OF
the whole world. Add again the fact
that this system now has in New
York city and its environs, we'll to-
ward completion, terminal improve
ments costing approximately 500, OOO-
900 or more than the construction Of
the Suez canal. Add again the inter-
esting fact that the Pennsylvania is
the first railroad system in the world
to burrow and bore under rivers and
cities on stupendous scale.
Now, considering all these facts and
figures, Is it required that one should
take out poetic license before calling
Mr.. McCrea the ruler Of a realm?
"A Working Official.'
President McCrea has been a rail-
roader for more than forty years. His
climb toward the top has been grad
ual and steady, but sure. Starting at
the bottom he got a firm foothold and
never fell down. It was no easy as.
cent. He toiled upward all the way
The new president is what is known to
the railroad world as a working Off
cial.
That he has not been afraid of work
is attested by story of his earlier
railroad days. When he was about
twenty-five years old he was an assist
ant engineer in the construction de-
partment of the PENNSYLVANIA. A
wreck on his division tied up the trains
in both directions. Mr. McCrea reach
ed the scene Of the wreck after some
delay and rushed up to the wrecking
foreman.
What can do?" he asked excitedly.
Nothing" replied the foreman.
