Young Woman q Leading Economist.

At twenty-fOur years Anna Pritchett
of Louisville will have the distinction
of occupying the chair of economics In
Wellesley. She went to Wellesley last
fall and is the youngest professor In
the history of the college. She also
ranks with the youngest successful
scholars who ever have held so i'm
portant a post, and leading experts in
economics class her as brilliant wo-
man. She has surpassed all students
with whom she has studied. Her cleo
tion to the chair in Wellesley is due to
merit alone and is another proof that
in the realm Of higher scholarship wO-
men have the ability to stand on a
common footing with men.

Various reasons were given for the break in the

that there was some dissenson in the board of d.

George r. Baer Describes Prompt

OF the reasons governing the acquisition in 1901 Of
control OF the Central Railroad Company of New
Jersey by the Philadelphia & Reading Railway
Company. and the prompt and decisive action Of
Nlr. Morgan in tine matter. is given in the stenO-
graphic record just completed, of the recent testi-
mony of George f. Baer. president OF the Reading

continued, were not parallel and competing roads
in any sense of the term. 1t essential for the
Reading. and also for the Baltimore & Ohio. to get
TO New York over the New Jersey Central which
in Mr. Baers opinion has the best terminal facili-
ties in this harbor. At various times efforts had
been made to unite the Reading and the New
Jersey Central.
In December 1900 Mr.. Baer testified he was told
that the men controlling the New Jersey Central
were ready to sell their holdings. and that an
oher for the stock had been made by the Balti-
more Ohio! This information he promptly com
municated to Mr. Morgan, who was then the voting
trustee of the Reading company, telling him that
1t would be the ruin of the Reading IL a hos
Tile company should get control of the property
or II the Baltimore Ohio could control the Read
ing terminals at New YOrkh Following Mr.
Morgan's instructions. Mr. Baer prepared re-
port. which he submitted to the banker who held
1t under consideration for a few days Mr.. Baer's
testimony continues:
