The meeting of the directors Of the
company yesterday afternoon to receive
the resignation of President Norment

to the MANAGEMENT Mt OF Of, the tW9 prop

tant changes will be made In the man
agement of either Immediately, and no
merger Of the properties is imminent.
But the clearing of the air by the Of
fetal action of the directors of the
Washington company gives proof that
the condition and Improvement OF the
properties is to go forward as fast as
possible. This. with the intrinsic value
of the securities of the company, ac-
counts for the rise in price. 1t may be
assumed also that some of the friends
of the new president are now anxious
to acquire holdings in the company
which accounts for the present demand
