Men Change Places on Di-

GENERAL SHAKEUP DENIED
Plans for Subway Under City and
Other Improvements Will Y
Be Carried Out

represented by Henry e. Huntington
on the one hand and the Southern Pa
cific ON the other practically was ef-
fected at Santa Barbara yesterday.
Instead of the formal transfer OF the
assets involved being delayed a month
or more, as at first seemed probable
it occurred yesterday, coincident with
the retirement from Pacific Electric
affairs Of those associated with Hunt
ington and the. exit from the councils
of the new Los Angeles Railway cor
poration of those representing the
Southern Pacific in that concern.
There will be many changes as
result of the completion of TINS Dig
traction DEAL which involved millions
but they will come gradually. 1t is
denied on both sides that there is to
be a "shakeup' in either corporation
os.ices. Some changes, however, seem
imperative. w. e. Dunn, it Is under
stood will be the head of the legal
department of the Los Angeles Rail
way corporation. Thus the Paciilc
Electric is left without q head for It's
legal department 1t is not improb-
able that Mr.. Dunn will continue TO
have charge OF the Pacihc Eleetric's
legal affairs, but this point is not
settled and another attorney may be
his successor.
1t was stated last night that there
is to be no change in the plans re-
garding a subway from the Los An
seles- Pacific station in Hill street to
the western edge of the city and that
the new station structure which Is
part of the program of improvements
of that corporation will be built. The
Los Angeles Pacific is to be operated
separately for an indefinite period al
though it is owned by the interests
which have acquired the Pacific Elec-
tTic system.
TO OPERATE SEPARATELY
That portion of the Los Angeles and
Redondo road acquired by the Pacific
Electric is to be operated separately
for the present. The lines this slde
of Hawthorne became the property of
the Los Angeles Railway corporation
when it took over the city lines con-
trolled by the Pacific Electric.
w. f. Herrin is now president OF the
Pacific Electric company, but Paul
Shoup, vice president will be the man
actively in charge of the company. AS
a result it is likely that he VIII remove
from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
He also is in charge of the rehabilitat-
ing of the Los Angeles Pacific lines,
which includes the ballasting of the
lines leaving the city via sixteenth
street from Los Angeles to the sea;
the rebuilding of the Sunset boulevard
lines, and the construction of the new
extension to Lankershim.
MIR. Huntington said last night that
the polcy of the Pacific Electric com
pany will not be changed as result
of the deal He added that he received
assurances from Judge Leavett, head OF
the Hartman lines, in New York re-
Gently, that the policy of the new Pa
cific Electric company would be liberal.
1T is asserted that one of the good re-
suits of the deal is that the financial
resources of the Huntington interests
may be expended in building additional
lines and providing other betterments
without the necessity of consultation
with other interests possibly antago-
nistic, and that the Southern Pacific
win be in the same fortunate position.
