Niron and Biddle, NeW
Heads of Frisco, Made
Records AS ReceiUerS

Mr.. Biddle did as receivers. In doing
this work Mr.. Nixon has forged to the
front and is recognized as one of The
forceful types of railroad men who by
their own ability have worked their way
to the top rung of the ladder.
THE NEW PRESIDENT
He was born February Is, 1861. at Earl
vile, Ill. His father, William Nixon, was
a lawyer of that place and his mother
was Sarah (Musselman) Nixon.
His education was obtained at the pub
lie schools of Washington, H. At an
early age he began work, his first rail-
road experience being as a bridge car
penter in 1868 for the b. and M. railroad
i'm Nebraska. He then entered the serv-
ice of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa re
railroad at Emporia, Kan, as night
Waterman for a year and then became
clerk for a year at Albuquerque, N NJ
His next promotion was agent at Las
Cruces, N. NJ, afterwards holding the po-
sition of agent at Albuquerque, subse-
auently becoming chief clerk for the di-
vision superintendent at San Marcial, n
NJ In 1885 he was advanced to train
master of the Southern Kansas railway
remaining in that position until 1889, when
he was transferred to Kansas City rs
superintendent of terminals there, re-
naming in that office one year.
He next became superintendent of the
Chicago division and the superintendent
of terminals at Chicago until July l.,
1896 and for the succeeding six months
was general agent, freight department,
located in Chicago. The next three years
he was superintendent of the lines between

transferred to Galveston as general SUI
perintendent of the Gulf, Colorado and

senior vice president of the Frisco and
May 27, 1918, he was appointed chief op-
Grating officer under the receivership of
the road. July IA, 1913 he was appointed
receiver and chief operating officer.
There could hardly be found any man
better fitted to deal with the F'rlscos
problems than Mr.. Nixon. He has abil-
ity, energy, perseverance and patience

Rehabilitation of Bankrupt
Lines Largely Credited
to Them
BOTH RAILROAD MEN
OF LONG EXPERIENCE
Reorganized System Fully Prepared
to Play Large Part in Develop
ment of the Territory 1t
Traverses

The reorganization of the Frisco rail-
road, which was just contaminated after
receivership of more than two years
has been interpreted as meaning much
for the future development of the Bir-
mingham district and the other territory
trayersed by this system.
Much of the credit for the successful
manner in which the reorganization was
brought about is given to w. c. Nixon,
who has just been chosen president of
the rehabilitated line, and to W. B. Bid
die, the new first vice president
During the time the system was in
bankruptcy, Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Bid1le
were receivers for the road, the former
having been the chief operating officer
and the latter the chief traffic official.
Their selection to the highest two places
at the recent reorganization is considered
a recognition of the capable manner in
which they conducted the roads affairs
during the time it was under the control
of the federal court
The Frisco railroad is now a synonym
for a property which is in fine physical
condition and efficiently managed. That
this is true is due mainly to W. C. Nixon,
the new president, and the work he and

BIDDLE ABLE OFFICIAL

w. B. Biddle, the new first vice pres
ident of the Frisco, is native of Wis
consin, and his entire business career has
been in railroad work
Entering the service of the Santa Fe as
a brakeman on freight train in 1878, he
remained with that company until 1905,
when he resigned as freight traffic man
ager to accept the position of vice presi-
dent of the Rock Island Frisco lines.
With the separation of these properties,
he became vice president of the Frisco
Chicago and Eastern Illinois, and with
the receivership, was appointed receiver
and chief traffic officer of the Frisco
Mr.. Biddle has grown up in the terri
tory served by the Frisco, is familiar
with its past and believes strongly in the
possibilities of its future
He holds that the success of the road
is largely measured by the sentiment OF
the people towards the company and that
the right feeling can be created by Civ
ing them a square deal, that everyone in
the service, regardless of position, should
realize his obligation to the public as
we'll as to the company.
He believes that the strongest organiza-
ton is one that encoura ges initiation and
gives credit for accomplishment.

President Attends
Musical and Recites
Laughable Limerick


Atlantic City, September S.-Presi-
dent Wilson threw an audience at a
charity musicale into a roar of laugh
ter Friday by reciting the following
limerick when called on for a speech:
'For beauty I am not a star;
There are others more handsome by
far.
My facet don't mind it,
Because I'm behind it,
It's the people in front that I jar
The President went to the musicale
with Mrs. Wilson not expecting to
speak He was reminded of the linn
erick, he said, by the request of the
man in charge that he stand up and
allow the crowd to see his face. He
added it was pleasure to hear good
music. He was warmly applauded.
After the President went to his
rooms an aeroplane flew down the
beach, paused moment at the hotel
and then returned up the coast. Be
tween its planes were large electric
letters which formed the name Wilson.
