GRAY NOW SLATED
AS FRISCO HEAD
WILL RESIGN AS PRESIDENT OF
GREAT NORTHERN MARCH 1,
ASSUME NEW POSITION.
Takes Eject When Railroad Is Taker
Out of Receivers Hands
Within Six Months

st. Louis, Feb. 19.-Carl H. Gray,
president of the Great Northern rail-
way, will resign that position March
l, and will become president of the
St. Louis & San Francisco ,(Frisco)
system, when the Frisco is taken out
of the hands of receivers, probably
not more than six months hence. This
was announced today from an official
source.
Gray has been comforting with the
reorganization committee in New
York which is seeking to take the
road from receivers hands. Gray's
resignation from the Great Northern,
now, announced definitely for the first
time was due to lack of harmony be-
tween him and Louis w. Hill, son of
James J. Hill, regarding the railroads
policies. Gray was formerly vice.
president of the Frisco in
charge of operations. He became
president of the Great Northern in
1912.
1t is believed by those who have
been watching the Frisco finances
that the road will be out Of the hands
of receivers not later than the end
of this year and possibly much sooner
The Frisco is now without presi-
dent. W. C. Nixon who was elected
president at the last meeting Of the
board of directors three months ago,
resigned as president and also as q
director when the receivers of the
road were ordered by United States
Circuit Court Judge Walter H. San
born to sue ten persent and former
officials and directors for 14,0OO,000.
