DIRECTORS ACTION IN
| LINE WITH PLANS Of
PUJ0 COMMITTEE
Whether Morgan Will Retire From
u. S. Steel Corporation Is
Subject Of Speculation
By Associated Press

New York, Jan. 3.-The announce
ment of the retirement of j. p. Nor
gan and four of his partners from
thirty directorships in 27 corporations,
and Mr.. Morgan's reference to the
change in public sentiment in regard
to directorships, has called attention
to the fact that five important recon-
mendations of the Puio committee
We're already being put into effect in
advance of legislation requiring them.
They include the abandonment of
fiscal agency agreements, such as ex-
listed between the New Haven and Nor
gan and Company the abolition of in
terlocking directorates, the abolition
of voting trusts, reforms in the Stock
Exchange and reforms in the Clearing
House.
Whether. Mr.. Morgan will decide to
withdraw from the directorate of the
United States Steel Corporation was
the subject of a great deal of specula-
ton to-day. The general opinion was
that as the so called steel trust was
the greatest of the Morgan creations,
and was considered by the elder Nor
gan the crowning achievement of this
financial career, his son will consider
1t his duty to remain identified with
II In an active way, especially until tho
government suit has been decided one
way or the other.
However the Morgan firm was no
less actively identified with the finan-
cial development of the New York
Central lines, for which Mr.. Morgan
was the banking sponsor throughout
the greater part of his career.
His connection with 1t dated from
the time of Commodore Vanderbilt
n tln Of
Vanderbilt it was through MIR. Nor
gans influence that English investors
placed enormous sums of money in the
securities of the road.

licemen and detectives on foot were
searching the city to-day for the dar-
ing bandits, who, after stealing a taxi

result of the nights work.

Believed Taylor Will Take Neces-
sary Action to Retain Pres
ent Advisers

City Commissioner William H
Lynch, head of the Department of
Highways and Public improvements,
has requested the Board of Public
Works TO continue to serve In an ad-
visory capacity until the completion of
the important public work which is
now under way and which Will be

line with the policy of City Commits
sioner Bowman, who has requested the
Board of Health to continue in service,
and who has been promised also the
good offices of the Board of Water
Commissioners in the active DISCHARGE
of his responsible duties.
City Commissioner Taylor, who has
charge of the city property and the
park system, has not yet indicated his
intentions with respect to the Park
Commission, but 1t is believed that he
will take similar action so that the
high efficiency of the several depart

cooperation of the boards and COM
missions which have had control and
supervision of the parks, public work
and other improvements for many
years.
GOrgas Not Hasty
City Commissioner Gorgas, the head
OF the Finance Department, is not dis
posed to make radical changes or be
at all hasty in overturning the old
order of things. He believes that haste
should be made slowly and that the
best way to get good results is to be
certain that a change would mean
improvement or an increase of eff
cheney.
Commissioner Taylor is understood
to contemplate some beneficial changes
for the Fire Department which will be
In line with modern ideas respecting

study to certain matters and things
affecting his department: and the city

Radium "Cures" For Cancer
Called Gigantic SwindIe

Berlin, Jan. "A gigantic swim
die is the vigorous description ap-
piled by Professor Ernest Schwen-
niger, of Munich, to the theory preva-
lent throughout the world that radium
and mesothorium are the long-sought
cure for cancer.
Schweninger. who is famous as the
private physician of Bismarck gives
an account of his views in the January
number of the Neuerundschau. He
declares he cannot and will not be-
lieve that the much vaunted radio
active substances are the panacea
medical men have been hunting for
generations. He protests that the hue
and cry which serious-minded mem
bers of the profession have set up in
regard to the marvellous value of
radium and mesothorium for cancer
treatment are highly unworthy of
genuine medical ethics"
