SECRETARY MCADOO
May Be A BANKER
Resignation as Cabinet Member
And Rail Head Is Big
Surprise

Washington, Nov. 27-1he rssigna-
ton of Secretary McAdoo as head of
the treasury ard director OF railroads
caused a pronounced sensation in
Washington. His reason for resign
ing is that his salary of $4,000 a
year is not enough for him to main
tain his family. He must get back to
private business, he said, in order to
support his. family.
He agrees to remain in charge Of
the two important Offices until Presi-
dent Wilson, his father-in-law, can
find his successor. Many names have
been suggested for Secretary. of the
Treasury and Director of Railroads,
but the president has not indicated
who will get these important posi-
tions.
1t has been rumored that McAdoo
will become president of the Federal
Reserve Bank in New York, position
which paws 5000 a year.

Of the tracks Is covered by beautiful

where very few do now.
