At a meeting of directors of the Sc
curity Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany this morning, John s. Rossell
and l.. Scott Townsend were elected
vice-presidents of the company The
Office of vice-president became vacant
recently because of the death Of
James B. Clarkson. Aside from the
business of the bank having developed
to such an extent as to make it ex-
pedient to have two presidents,
there was a desire on the part of The
directors 10 advance Mr.. Rossell and
Mr.. Townsend, both of whom have
been connected with the bank for
twenty-three years of faithful service.
To provide for two v.ce-presidents,
the charter and bylaws of the COM
pany were amended recently.
Mr.. Rossell will continue as secre-
tary of the company, and Mr.. Town
send VII continue as treasurer IN

of vice-president.

Mr. Rossell became connected with

nected with the company in January

dent, was president then When James

SEES OPPOSITION TO TAFT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-Former
Senator J. Frank Alice, Of Delaware.
came to Washington yesterday to visit
friends. The former Senator said
that he has not taken any active part
in politics since he retired from the
Senate, and that he does not expect to.
He could not, however, he said, help
observing the trend that political af-
fairs are taking.
Rubbing elbows with men in busi-
ness and politics in many parts of
the East. IL is impossible not to gather
some IDEAS" said former Senator
Alice, at the New willard. II have
come to the conclusion that there is
decided opposition to the renomi-
nation of President Taft. This is
due largely to the uncertainty of busi-
ness men as to what the President
may do.
"A short time ago / had the idea
that nothing could prevent the re-
nomination of the President, but
have changed my mind, and ! no long
er regard his nomination as a sure
thing. l do not think, however, that

that he viii be elected
