as Director of Lehigh

By Associated Press

Philadelphia. March 18.-George f.
Baer president of the Reading Com
panies. to-day resigned as a director
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany. In leaving the Lehigh Valley
Board Mr. Baer said he felt that addi-
tional demands on his time are such
as to preclude his longer service
The Lehigh Valley to-day resumed
the. payment of dividends on a quarter
ly basis instead of semi-annualiy.
Mr.. Baer's resignation from the Le-
high Valley Board was not generally
expected although 1t was known to
those who have an intimate knowledge
of the Lehigh Valleys affairs that he
intended TO resign
Despite the explanation given out
that Mr.. Baer was leaving the board
because of pressure of other duties, the
street heard rumors that the Reading
president might have been influenced
In his action by the proposed federal
legislation with reference to interlock-
ing directorates. These reports could
not be traced to any authoritative
source.
Morris L. C1othier. of this city, was
elected a director to fill the place OF
Mr.. Baer.

Speaker Praises Plank

"I think the local option plank

people generally. especially taken in
connection with DR.. Brumbaugh's s
well-known views and practice as a

No Alliances At All
The Philadelphia Record of to-day
says: 'Dr. Brumbaugh himself refused
yesterday to be tied up to any other
candidate, saying that he was making
the fight for the nomination alone,
without the backing of any leaders or
bosses. He said he had written his
platform himself, without advice from
anyone, and would stand on it. He
said he would not make an active
campaign. 1t is doubtful If he will
make any speeches or hold any meet
ings and it is certain that he will make
no tour of the State. AS yet no COM
mittee has been organized to promote
DR.. Brumbaughs campaign, but it is
expected that some Republican busi-
ness men will shortly get together and
open headquarters. From time to time,
Dr.. Brumbaugh said. he will issue
statements as to his position on State
