PROF. ADAMS INTENTIONS.
Wishes to Retain Association With
Interstate Commission.

Secretary AIoseley of the Interstate
commerce commission said this morning
that the story recently published about
the resignat ton of Prof. Henry G.. Adams
is misleading. Prof. Adams has been
attached TO the commission for. about
seventeen years in the capacity of con-
sultng accountant. When he assumed
that position he reinauished his connec-
ton as professor in the faculty of Ann
Arbor University. He has now practi-
cally organized and equipped the account
ing system which has been adopted by
the commission. and desires to again take
up his life work of teaching Unless.
however. arrangements can be made by
which he will be enabled to devote a
part of his time to the commission and
part to his university work. it is be-
lieved he will remain in his present posi-
tion. In any event he will not entirely
separate himself from the commission.
Prof. Adams is now at Chicago. attend
ing the meeting Of railway accountants,
known to the commission as the 'com-
mittee of twenty-five and will not re-
turn TO the city until about June 8.
