CALVIN GOES INTO
NEW OFFICE TODAY
Retiring Head of Union Pacific
Keeps Open house for His
Many Friends.
NEW PRESIDENT ARRIVES

President Calvin, recently elected
president of the Union Pacific system
to succeed A. L. Mohler, whose res
ignation became effective at mid
night, has arrived in Omaha from
Salt Lake City and at once went to
headquarters, where he met Mr.. Moh-
Ter. The two presidents met, shook
hands, held short conversation, dis.
cussing the weather and the crops,
and then Mr.. CALVIN retired to the
presidents private office, where he
dictated some private letters.
With President Mohler it was a
busy day. He had just as much to do
with the affairs of the railroad as if
he was to remain president for an
indefinite period. He conferred as
usual with the officers who report
to him and issued the usual orders
emanating from the office of presi-
dent. In addition to all of this, he
met host of friends who have
known him for years and who came
to say goodbye. However, he would
not have it that way, impressing upon
them that he was not going away to
stay, but, instead, just getting out OF
the harness for the purpose of TAX
ing rest that he felt he had earned.
The callers were not confined to
any one particular class, but included
the rich and the poor; the prominent
business men and those Of more hum
Bile walks of life. The reception to
each was the same, Mr.. Mohler hav-
ing Just as warm greeting and as
firm a hand shake for the poor man
as for the rich man.
Door Wide Open.
The afternoon was given over to
the employees and officers of the
Union Pacific They called singly
and in groups to pay their parting
tribute to a president whom they
have come to regard as one of their
best friends. There was nothing for
NAL about the final reception. The
door to Mr.. Mothers private office
was wide open and all who called
were made to feel that they were
welcome, and as the Union Pacific
men grasped the hand of their pass
ing president there was kind and
cheerey word for each.
Still Calls Omaha Home.
Last night Mr.. Mohler left for
New York City. After a short con-
ference with members Of the execu-
tive committee, he will go to an At
lantic coast resort where he will take
a long rest. Following this, he will
return and probably go to his Colo
RADIO ranch for a time. Later on he
expects to return to Omaha and con-
tinue to make this city his home.
While the affair will be strictly in
formal, today will be Mr. Calvin's
day at Union Pacific headquarters.
With the coming of the dawn he au-
tomatically becomes president in fact
and assumes all of the duties of the
office. During the day it is planned
by the officials and employees to call
upon him in his office and pay their
respects and thus become acquainted,

if by exaggerated statements they have
lead clients to expect more than they re-
ceive.
According to officials, the decision will
pave the way to scores of prosecutions and

Justice McKenna, reversing the action the
