In Management, No Matter What

OFFICIALS Silent.

New York, May 9-Conf1rmation Of
the fact that Louis W. Hill is to retire
from the presidency of the Great
Northern railways, to be succeeded by
c. R. Gray. was obtained from James
]. Hill. chairman of the board of di.
rectors Of that property. Mr.. Hill,
however, positively refused to discuss
the report that he would retire as
chairman, to be succeeded by his son.
Louis w. Hill, the retiring president.
1t was generally believed in railway
circles. however. that this 10 tho
planned move.
Mr.. Hill stated that an announce
ment of all changes would be made at
the proper time" He insisted that
no matter what changes might take
place, both he and his son would re-
main with the road as directors and
members OF the executive committee
and would retain their stock interest.
Officials Here Silent.
The definite statement as to
rumored Great Northern official
changes that was given as emanating
from James ]. Hill, when received In
the Twin Cities, found no Great
Northern official who would talk Of
the matter, nor have any circulars
announcing such changes been pre-
pared, but 1t is generally accepted
here in railroad circles that the state
ment of Mr.. Hill that Mr.. Gray is to
become president of the road means
also the later retirement of James J..
Hill from the craftsmanship Of tho
board of directors and the promotion
Of Louis w. Hill to the position.
Mr.. Hills statement that he and his
son will remain members Of the board
and will retain their stock interest
precludes the possibility of the pass
ing of control of the Hill lines to other
hands.
New President Is Young.
Carl r. Gray, who is to be president,
succeeding Louis W. Hill, is one of the
most noted of the younger railroad
ment of the United States. Mr. Gray
is As years of age and was born in
Arkansas. He started railroad work
when 16 years of age as telegraph
operator. He was employed by the
St. Louis & San Francisco road from
1883 to 1885, becoming successfully
station agent and clerk to the general
western agent of the road at Wichita,
Kan. In 1886 he was made CONNER.
cial agent for the road. From 1890
to 1896 he was division freight agent
and in 1897 was made division super.
intendent, thus going from the traffic
to the operating department. He con.
tinued to advance, and August 1, 1906,
being then only 90 years of age, he
was made second vice president of the
st. Louis & San Francisco.
