BANKERS QUIT
 R.R.D|RECT0RATE$ J. OR!
Morgan Banking House Retires From Positions With N. Y. C. and N.
 Y., N. H. & Fl. Roads.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The J. P. Morgan banking house have publicly announced that all the members of the firm have resigned from any con- nection with the New York Central railroad and the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford road because of the public opposition to interlocking di- rectorates, by which the policy of the roads was controlled by the great financial house.
 Hereafter the banking house will do strictly banking business and will in no way concern itself as to the management of the roads
 It is generally believed that from now on the interests of the bankers and the roads will not be along the same lines and control of railroads by banks will cease, but many are con- fident that the change will retard the heretofore rapid development of the railroad systems, as the banks were willing to loan money to railroads when they could assure themselves of the proper expenditure of the same, and would therefore loan much larger sums than will be advanced under the new sys tenn of banking only
