HEAD OF ". R. & {. CO.
Clarence F. Norment Resigns
Presidency-Report of Con-
tempIated Merger Denied.

AS forecast in The Star yesterday, the
resignation of Clarence F. Norment as
president Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company was rendered to
the board Of directors of that corpora
ton at meeting held in the offices of
the American Security and Trust Com
pany late yesterday afternoon. The rea-
sons which impeled Mr.. Norment to
wish to retire from the presidency were
we'll known to the board, since he had
accepted reelection at the last annual
meeting Of the directors only on the
understanding that he should be relieved
as soon as the corporation could find a
capable street railroad man to succeed
him. These reasons were repeated by
Mr.. Norment in presenting his resigna-
ton yesterday, as he stated that other
business affairs demanded practically all
of his time. His resignation was accepted
and Clarence King, another member of
the board, who also is president OF the
Washington Virginia Railroad Company,
was chosen president of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company Mr.
King Will assume his new duties today.
Merger Report Denied.
Official denial was given by the d.
rectors Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company to the rumor that the
election of Mr.. King presaged a merger
of their company and the Washington
Virginia company.
Mr. Norment will remain with the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany as a member of the board Of d.
rectors. Immediately after the election
yesterday, however, he left for New
London, Conn.,, where he is spending his
vacation with his family.
