Chairman of the Board

The first conspicuous example of the
creation of the office of the chairman of
the board to whom the president of the
great corporation was to be responsible
was that furnished at the time William II.
Vanderbilt turned over the presidency of
the New York Central system to the late
James III. Rutter. with the simple com
mand to Mr.. Rutter to operate the New
York Central line. Mr.. Vanderbilt did not
change his place at the head Of the direc-
tors table when he assumed the new title
of chairman of the board" He continued
to sit at the head of the table His chief
of staff so far as operating matters were
concerned, was President Rutter but he
had other chiefs: the late C. c. Clarke be-
ing his chief of staff, representing the
financing department, and Chauncey NJ
Depew his chief of staff representing the
legal department. In that way Mr. Van
derbilt collected within an hour or two
every day all necessary information con-
cerning the efficiency of each department
Mr.. vanderbilt's son, however the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt. took his fathers
place as chairman of the board and after
while Chauncey M. Depew became pres
ident of the board. Cornelius Vanderbilt
was of such temperament and peculiar in
tel1ectual character as to be unable to
commit details to his subordinates and to
be satisfied to know only what general re-
suits were. He became a slave to details
He SOmeI1n1es appeared at MT. DeDeW'S
house at o'clock in the morning to ask
about the detail of a certain financial prop
ositions. He had worried over them dur
ing the night and it was his slavery to de-
tail that broke down his health
Four years ago James Stilman retired
from the presidency of the National City
bank to accept the presidency of the
board At about the same time George
r Baker retired from the presidency of
the First National bank and accepted the
craftsmanship of the board. and a year
or two later as able banker theoretical
and practical, as the United States has
ever possessed. A. Barton Hepburn. re-
tired from the presidency or the Chase

men capable of meeting the highest and
most delicate responsibilities, were placed
IN charge of various departments under
the eye of the president, who in turn was
under the eve and direction of the chair
man of the board. An organization of
this kind made 1t practicable for the chief
Intellectual force of the great bank to
occupy himself with great matters with

DECISION

The trial Of Jim Conley, sensational
witness and self confessed accessory
after the fact in the trial OF Leo M
Frank, convicted of the murder of
Mary Phagan. was postponed by
Judge Ben Hill in the Criminal Court
Tuesday until after the Frank case
is disposed OF
Judge Hill in refusing to take up
the case at the request OF the negro's
counsel said:
Il shall not take up this case now
or permit il to be called. The court
is Of the opinion that this case should
not be taken up until the case against
the principal perpetrator Of the crime
is disposed Of. So thinking, the court
will not call the case."
The courts dictum, Of course, is
final, and leaves the Conley trial date
as proble1natical as ever. II the Su-
preme Court should deny Frank q

being set for the 18th, it is a ques
ton whether the negro would be tried
at the January term, because an
appeal 10 the United States Supreme
Court has been talked of.

If, on the other hand, Frank should
get q new trial, Conley's trial is more
prOblematicai than ever for, accord
ing to Judge Hills announcement, it
would have to wait on the outcome of
Franks second trial.
w. NJ. Smith the negro's lawyer
was in court with two petitions urg
ing immediate trial when Solicitor
Dorsey called the case to the atten-
ton Of the court.
Solicitor Dorsey merely made EFF
erence to the fact that Conley had
been brought over to the courthouse
for trial several times, that the pris-
oner's counsel was now in court ready
for trial. and put it up to the court
