Cessor to Gen. Harries. 1t is considered
probable that II. W. Fuller will be Sc
lected.
Gen. Harries probably will not sever
his connection with the Board OF Trade,
Of which he is now president. He is now
serving his second term in that office,
and probably will remain on the member
ship rolls, although refusing to assume
any office.
Gen. Harries' rise in the public utilities
field began about 1855. when, as a re-
porter on a Washington newspaper, he
began a study of traffic conditions here
and later of the operating conditions of
the Metropolitan Railroad Company. In
1896, he left the newspaper field to be-
come president of the Metropolitan Rail-
road Company, and from that time his
business interests have broadened
steadily.
In 1898. at the outbreak Of the Spanish
American war. Gen. Harries. who had
seen service as a correspondent during
some of the frontier Indian wars. went
to the front as colonel of the First Dis
trict Of Columbia Infantry, L. S. V.
Official of Railroad.
Between 1895 and 1900. he paid par
ticular attention to civic questions, serv-
ing as secretary to the Board of Trade
war he was elected to the directorate of
the newly organized Washington Trac-
ton and Electric Company. In 1900 he
became vice president of it, a position
he has maintained since, through its
reCeivership and change of name.
At the close of his second term as sec
retary of the Board of Trade. Gen. Har-
ries was elected vice president, which po-
sitiOn he held until his election to the
presidency two years ago.
Gen. Harres is nationally known in
technical fields. He is president of the
Association of Edison Illuminating Com
panies, one of the senior vice presidents
of the American Railway Association, and
treasurer and member of the executive
committee of the National Electric Light
Association. He is a member of the In
stitute of Electrical Engineers, the IL
Eliminating Engineer Society, the Wash
ingtOn Society of Engineers, and the
Washington Academy of Sciences.
Among his other commercial connec-
tions in Washington, Gen. Harries is
director in and chairman of the finance
committee of the Equitable Cooperative
Building Association. He was formerly
director in the National Metropolitan and
Union Savings banks, but press of busi-
ness compelled him to relinquish these
duties.

Startling Charges Made.
The startling charges against Mr.. Jack
son came following the announcement, is
sued in Chicago, where the National Good
Roads Congress has been holding its
sessions, that a campaign among the
railroads, farmers automobile companies,
and manufacturers was TO be started i'm
mediately.
This convention has been in session
in Chicago for some time. The final an
nouncement came just as the convention
was about to adjourn.
Among other things President Jack
son stated that he would at once open
national offices for his organization in
this city and that the subscriptions for
the 100000 road improvement fund
would be received here. In an address
before the members of the association he
outlined the future plans of the Organi-
"a ton, saying that it was planned TO
elect a vice president and a member of
the finance committee to represent it in
each State. He declared that the cam
paign would be conducted along sane
business lines, and that the fund would
be held at the disposal of the society
as a whole.
When this news reached Washington
charges against Jackson were at once
preferred by Mr.. Page. 1t was learned that
the Agricultural Office of Public Roads
has before this time made complaint
to the inspectors of the Post-office De-
partment and that TIE latter were pre-
pared to act whenever it should be def
niteIy ascertained that Mr.. Jackson was
using the mails to defraud.

GAME OF FREEZE-OUT.
Bill Ayers No Longer the Treas
ury Iceman.

"croOL. CroOl' blow was dealt the
anu-ice trust war yesterday, when Treas
ury officials decided they could worry
along without the services of Bill
Ayers, a negro. the enterprfsing iceman
OF the department. Bill was accused
Of selling ice manufactured at the de-
Tar1ment's plant. When his traffic was
nipped, Treasury officials say the game
was so profitable that most anybody
would like to have been the iceman
Chief Clerk Wilmeth, who has been in
NcstiEating the case, told Bill" that
there was absolutely nothing in the world
that would compel him to remain in the
government service. Whether legal ac-
ton will be taken against Ayers Mr..
Nilmeth did not say.

high official of the bureau last night
that the much mooted convention in
Chicago was attended by about three per-
sons, and that none of these had any say
in the outlining Of the campaign. The
same scheme was tried in Baltimore
about three years ago without success.
This man Jackson has used the publicity
given the good roads movement as a
means to further his own ends. He is
the kind of man, from all We can learn,
who would stop at nothing. Most re-
markable is the fact that his organiza-
tion, which is unauthorized and in CO.
operation with no recognized organiza-
ton. could be allowed to continue this
long.
He visited Washington some time ago
and reserved room in the New Willard
to hold a meeting for the benefit of the
good roads movement AS far as we
have been able to learn. about three per-
sons attended this meeting This is about
the caliber of all of his actions, and this
is why complaint has been made against
him
Inspectors in the Post-office Department
declined to state last night what their
intentions with regard to President Jack
son are. 1t is stated, however. that prose-
Cutions will begin within a short time.

Announcement was made yesterday
that Brig. Gen. George H. Harries, vice
president and general manager of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, will sever all business connections
that would require his presence here and
will join the stan of II. NJ. Byllesby &
Co. engineers, OF Chicago. It is under
stood Gen. Harries will retain his large
stockholding interests in local corpora
tions
The engineering firm with which Gen.
Harries will be associated operates more
than lOO public utilities in different cities.
Gen. Harries' wide experience with pub
lie utilities has made him a valuable as
sociate, in the eyes Of the big firm.
May Ask Retirement.
He will not sever his connection with
the District National Guard for the time
being. His duties will bring him to
Washington frequently, and he will at
tempt to find time during those visits
to keep up his work as commander-in-
chief Of the local militia. II this proves
impracticable, he will apply for retire
ment
A special meeting of the board OF direc-
tors of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company will be called this
week for the purpose of choosing a sue
