lieved from the duties Of general

time that will best suit the convent
ence Of the president OF the road.
The general manager OF the Union
Pacific is creature OF the president
and due TO the fact that the resigna-
ton OF President Mohler becomes

likely that he will hold the whole
matter in obeyance, turning IL over
TO his successor, who will make the
appointment.

Although General Manager Ware
asserts that he has had the resigna-
ton under consideration Tor some
months, TO his friends and 10 the
railroad people il comes as a sur
prise. Asked why he resigned, Mr.
Ware said
There are two reasons for quit
ting the position. The first is that
my physical and mental condition is
good and ! want il to remain so.
THE second reason is that | have
been engaged in active railroad work
for thirty years. ] want to rest and
want TO travel have nothing in
view for the future, so far as business
or employment is concerned. / am
through with railroading. leave the
Union Pacific with the best OF feel
ing toward its officials and employees,
from the highest 10 the lowest. II is
the best road that | know OF and il
and its people have treated me kindly.
Omaha will continue to be my home"
No Date FIXED.
Mr.. Ware, speaking OF the time
when he will leave the Union Pacific,
said II did not fix a date for my
