A. R. WhaIey Now Vice Pres
ident OF New Haven Road
And Next To MeIIen
Takes Over ALI Operating Re-
spOnsibilitv OF Freight And
Passenger Traffic

AdeIbert r. whaley, known to rail-
road men simply as A. r., who for
seven years has, been manager of the
Grand Central Terminal in New York,
was elected ''vice-president in charge
of operation of the New Haven rail-
road yesterday at a directors meet
ing. President Mellen was in the
chair.
Mr. Wha1ey assumes his new duties
on February L, and he alone will be
responsible for the passenger and
ment in operation Mr.. Wha1ey will be
credited with it, if there are mistakes
or accidents he will get the blame. Mr..
MeIIen will WELD responsibility for
passenger or freight operation on Feb.
At the Grand Central it was said
that Mr.. Wha1ey's new office is Sec
ond only to that of President Mellen.

Have any recent criticisms" Mr..
Whaley was asked caused President
MelIen to wish to be relieved of the
responsibilities of operation? %
Mot at an,'' the new operating vice
president answered promptly. IF that
were the cause of my election to this
office, isn't it reasonable to suppose
that the change would have been made
q. month or two ago, when the criti-
cisns you have in mind were being
heard?
."The new office is mercy a part of
the general systematic Improvement
in operating that has been going on
successfully for some time, a. part of
our steady striving for efficiency. New
York is a pretty big place, the Har-
lem River yards form one of the big
gest, doubtless the biggest, single en-
terprise of the entire system; and this
terminal. which we share with the
Grand Central. is a tremendous thing.
And so the directors have decided that
it makes for systematic operation to
have the operating headquarters here
on the spot"
Born near Providence, nearly fifty
years ago, Mr.. WhaIey began his rail-
road career when sixteen years old as
dence and Worcester road, and re-
ceived $1.62 a day. In turn he work

letter sent to the United Press by Da-
vid Hillhouse Buell. one time head of
Georgetown University and noted for
mer Jesuit educator, through r. H.
Rogers, of Cambridge, Mass, a class
mate at Yale.
Buel, in his letter, insists that he
was in good standing and no charges
against him when in July he resigned
from the Jesuit Society by serving
proper notice to that effect on the
superiors of the society,"
Buel insists in his letter that the
reasons for his resignation were prop
er and well known to President Gas
son, of the Boston College; Judge MUIR
family the name of whose members
has been connected with that of the
writer in the daily press"
f'Tl1e uncalled for and unnecessary
criticism of the writer given to re-
porters by the Jesuit Gasson of Bos-
ton" continued Buel, land OF the
Jesuit DuArte, vice president of
Georgetown University, is so unusual
a departure from the Jesuit methods
of secrecy and concealment in such
matters as to suggest they have been
prompted by some personal reason
Buel then cites various cases of men
who he says. have withdrawn from
other faiths or took UP educational
work and, according to him, were
never publicly criticised by the mem
bers of the society.

Judge Wilder decided that anybody

entitled TO take the oath.
Kurabkian, who IL a, Turk, has been
Ianguish1ng in the county jail since
he refused to pay a judgment of 1855

he was arrested, however, he said his
wife owned the book.
When he was testifving yesterday he
swore that his wife worked and saved
the money, which she put in his name.
Kurabkian declared he couldn't save
much himself because his dog and bird
had such expensive tastes.

ICE TREATMENT
TO STOP FRUIT
TREES BUDDING

Hagerstown, Md, Jan. 25-WiII F..
Thomas. an orchardist near here, be-
lieves the .tice treatment has saved
his fruit trees from premature bud
ding during the unreasonable warm
weather of the present winter. When
other farmers in the neighborhood
discovered the springlike warmth of
the air, starting their trees to bud,
Thomas hustled off to town and re-
turned with about a. ton of dee. He
packed and sailed around the base of
each bearing tree in his orchard. re-
newing 1t as the ice melted away. As
a result none of the trees showed any
signs OF budding
The ice treatment was continued
over two days of the ffsummery''
weather. The cost, the man estimat-
ed today, was Is cents per tree. He
said he would prefer to wait until
time when his trees should properly
bud before passing final opinion on
the success of his plan. Thomas got
his idea by noting California growers
building fires for frost prevention and
figured he might reverse the process
with success

ed conference report on the Dilling-
ham Burnett immigration bill RETAIN
ing in the measure the ttliteracy test
to which vigorous objection was made
during the heated debate that marked
consideration of the bill. The con-
ference report, as adopted, does not
include the character certificate
plan to which Senator LaFol1ette, last
week, waged strenuous opposition in
the Senate on the ground that it was
"Joker" which would permit Russia

bill as passed by the House, no alien
who cannot read at least one language
can be admitted to the United States.

ment with the New York, New Haven

men of the six New England State
railroad committees to be empow cred
by the Legislatures of the various
States to regulate and control the
railroad situation and especially to en-
force efficient passenger and freight
service and rates.

1t was pointed out in the letter that
the States are at a disadvantage in

to give it sufficient power.

ton of the New England transports
ton problem yet offered" said Gov.
Pothier. 'I think it is perfectly feas-
ible. OF course, it is all right to speak
against monopoly but this can be car
rfed to a destructive extent.

regulation of transportation and ]
think we must have competition in

sufficiently into the subject of each

that subject. 80
Prior to the conference, Gov. Foss
