FORMERLY WITH SOU. RY.
Leaves the Presidency of the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louis
vile Railroad to Take Up His
Work With the Southem-He
Was a Close Friend of the Late
President.

New York, Dec. 1.-Fairfax
Harrison, president of the Chica-
60, Indianapolis and Louisville
railroad company, was today elect
ed president Of the Southern rail
way company to succeed the late
w. w. Finley.
Fairfax Harrison was born in
New York, March 13, being now
in his forty-fifth year. He is a
son of Gen. Burton Harrison, who
was private secretary to President
Jefferson Davis, of the Southern
confederacy. He is brother of
Francis Burton Harrison, recently
appointed by President Wilson as
governor of the Philippines. He
returns to the Southern Railway,
with which he was formerly con-
nected in official capacities.
Mr.. Harrison is a graduate of
Yale university, having taken the
B. A. degree in 1890. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in New York in
1892, and on June 6, 1894, he mar
ried Miss Hetty Cary, of Baltimore.
From 1862 to 1896 he practiced
law in the offices of Bangs, Stet-
son, Tracy G McVeagh. in New
York city. In the latter years he
accepted service with the South
ern railway company as a solicitor,
remaining in that capacity until
1903 when he became assistant to
the former President Samuel
Spencer, which office he filled for
three years. He was a yice-pres-
ident of the Southern from De-
cember, 1906, to August 1910,
when he became president of the
Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville
railroad company, which position
he now leaves to return to the
Southern. He has been a director
in many properties, including the
Cincinnati Indianapolis & Louis
vile; C. & w. L; Belt Railway
company of Chicago; Southern
railway; Southern & Florida; Vir-
ginia- Carolina Chemical company;
Southern Cotton Oil company,
Standard Trust company, of New
York; Transportation Mutual In
surance company, of Philadelphia;
Monon Coal company and the
Kentucky & Indiana Terminal
company.
"Mr. Harrison was one of Mr.
Finley's closest and most trusted
advisers" reads statements given
out by the Southern Railway to-
day, and is thoroughly in sympa.
thy with the politics which made
Mr.. Finley's administration so sue
sessful both for the Southern
railway company and the territory
served by its line. Though Mr.
Harrison entered the service ol
the Southern in the legal depart
ment, his experience has not been
confined to that branch of the
service. He has given much study
to financial, traffic and operating
problems and is intimately ac-
quainted with conditions on the
Southern Railway and throughout
the section which it traverses.
"As president of the Chicago
Indianapolis & Louisville he was
actively in charge of the opera.
.tion of the railway so that he
comes to the Southern Railway
prepared by practical experience
as well as the most detailed
knowledge of the details Of its
affairs to take up the duties of the
chief executive" /"

GIRL RISKS ESTATE

HOLDING THE SACK
IN HELENA
FRIENDS OF WHEATLAND AND
HIGHLAND COUNTIES ARE
DOURLE-CROSsED.
(Staff Correspondence.)

Helena, Feb. 2S.-From a source be-
lieved to be absolutely reliable, it is
learned tonight that Chairman Holt of
the committee on new counties and
county division, has declared that his
committee will not hold another meet
ing. For this reason the senate bills
of Richland and Wheatland counties
will never see daylight. These two
bills came over from the senate today,
and We're referred to Hollis committee.
Under the rules of the house no com
mittee nay be required by the house
to report on a bill in it's hands until
the bill has been with the committee
seven days. AS there are not seven
days between this and the last day of
the session, the committee may hold
the bills until after adjournment.
Only a tWo-thirds vote of the house
could reach the bills by amending the
rules. That vote is impossible.
Thus it will be seen that the friends
of Richland and Wheatland counties
are left holding the sack. However,
this is not the first case in which the
bipartisan senate combine has pulled
off a 'double-cross.'

A Man With Personality

Dayton. Ohio, Feb. 2S.-John Fl. Pat
terson, head of the National Cash
Register company, sentenced for a
year in prison for violating the anti
trust law, is a man with a remarkable
personality. He has built a great in
s%titution from small beginnings, forcing
out competitors the while.
Patterson is a faddist. He is also
perhaps the leading citizen of Dayton.
Dayton is not so large but that the
affairs of Patterson and the National
Cash Register are of considerable in
terest to Patterson's fellow citizens.
Several years ago when Patterson
returned from a trip to Europe he
brought with him an Englishman whom
he a taken into his service. and who
was known as Mr.. Palmer. Palmer had
originally been engaged in the role of
a valet. Shortly after his arrival at
Dayton, however, he developed other
capabilities. Daytonians We're interest
ed to learn that Palmer was a very
excellent physical director, had some
unique and original ideas as to the
proper maintainence of health as we'll
as highly developed appreciation Of
the aesthetic. Patterson seemed i'm
pressed with Palmer's notions.
At Palmer's suggestion the officers
of the National Cash Register COM
pany were advised to ride horseback
at certain hours of the day. The
early morning hours We're particularly
recommended. The equestrian sport
was great exercise, observed Palmer.
Some Of the officials objected to
Palmer and his advice.
Butter was scratched off the menus
in the lunchroom of the establish
ment. "Never eat butter was one of
Palmer's notices. After Palmer had
been around the shop at Dayton
awhile it became the custom for the
employees to aus in the course of
the afternoon n have tea. Palmer
instituted a number of new depart
ures all of which met with Patter-
sons approval.

was caused by a gas explosion in the
rear of the building. Only a few weeks
ago there was discovered a leaking
gas main, which caused the manage
ment of the hotel to arouse all the
guests. The explosion this morning is
believed to have resulted from a SINH
lar condition.
The suddenness with which the fire
secured Roadway indicates that this
condition existed. The firemen had
pushed a ladder to the third floor on
the alley side of the building just as
the explosion occurred. 1t sent the lac
der back and prevented several per-
ons at the windows from escaping.
At least one person was shaken from
the ladder when the explosion oc-
CURED, but he was not seriously in
jured.
After six hours, during which from
six to a dozen streams We're kept con-
tinl1ally playing on the ruins, it was
not possible for the firemen to enter
the burned building. How many
bodies will be found was still a matter
of conjecture, and it was not known
positively that more than Is We're in
the ruins.
The financial damage was about
$3.50 900.

Last to Leave.
Jesse D. Mold, night clerk, was the
last living person to leave the build

explosion, and was driven back by q

tempted to arouse a few guests on that
floor, but was forced to go to the
street, almost overcome, to save his
own life. The few guests who es-
capped from the second-story windows
or from the one entrance on the Thir-

store across the street and to a nearby
restaurant, and later cared for at
n~eighboring hotels.
A block Waterman who had entered
RI
the hotel to report, discovered the fire
and turned in a still alarm by tele-

cave in, and not a single person was
rescued.
That the basement into which the
burning interior fell within half an
hour after the fire started contains
not less than 40 bodies is the belief
of Fire Chief Salter. There was no
way to reach them for many hours
after the building collapsed. The rear
walls fell in on the mass, and all were
buried beneath tons of debris.
1t is believed hat the fire started
in the rear, probably in the furnace
room of the basement. Persons in the
vicinity at the time say there was an
explosion, apparently of gas. and in a
few minutes the entire interior was in
flames.
A Hero.
lizzie Stelss, a paper carrier, was n
of the heroes of the fire. He was
preparing to start with his morning
route and was one of the first at the
fire. Even before the firemen arrived
he rushed into the building and began
assisting the night clerk to arouse
those asleep in the building. He
helped drag several half-dazed persons
from the building, and was nearly
suffocated.
Jesse Mold, who represents the man
agement of he hotel, probably saved
the lives of over a score of persons.
He was awakened by the cry of fire,
and, half dressed, hurried through the
smoke-filled Railways arousing guests
of the hotel. He succeeded in getting
a number of persons out of the burn
ing building, all of them half-clad.
They We're taken to nearby places of
! refuge for the time.
Bitter Cold.
Bitter cold made conditions almost
unbearable. The firemen had hardly
got streams on the burning hotel I'M
til frozen pipe lines began to burst.
They caused an impeachment to the
efforts of the firemen and reduced for
some time the efficiency of the fire
fighting force.
