She has promised to be my wife
some day, and I hardly know

of Director MeAdoo in deposing presi-
dents of the nations railroads and the
substitution of federal managers, who will
be named in the immediate future, but
they criticize the statement that the
salaries of operating heads should not ex-
coed 100000
Railroad men will not discuss the ac-
ton, even privately. They excuse them
selves by declaring they have not re
ceived any official notification, either by
mail or telegram, that tire presidents of
the roads have been retired. Some say
they prefer TO wait until further details
had been received by them
Banking interests declare the step taken
should have been expected in view of the
fact that there had to be line drawn
where government control ended and cor
porate interests began They add that as
matters stood before Director McAdoo S
decision there was divided allegiance
on the part of operating heads They
say it is obvious that railroad presidents.
who through many years of private own
ership of the property of which they are
the heads, and years of constant adher-
enee to policy OF serving only their
directors and stockholders, could not
serve the government as the Administra-
ton might expect them to do.
They point ont that instances arose
where the government considered a cei-
tain improvement should be made where-
as the directors did not consider it should
be undertaken. With such division of
opinion the presidents of the railroads
were at loss what to do.
Attention is also directed to the fact
that the responsibility of making sue
cess or failure of the transportation sys-
tenn during the war depends upon Direc-
tor MeAdoo. Therefore, bankers say, he
will naturally depose any operating head
who does not seem to be accomplishing re-
suits in keeping with his views of how the
property should be operated
Director McAdoo is considered by
bankers to be man of considerable
ability, and his action is accepted in the
financial district as step taken toward
the formation of an efficient operating
organization. They hope, however, that
when he has perfected an efficient organi-
zation he will perpetuate it.
1t is expected that the greater part OF
the railroad presidents retired win be
appointed as federal managers Whether
or not they will accept the appointments
and continue in the positions even when
they have accepted is a matter which
bankers say the future will have to an.
swer.
Ever since control of common carriers
was taken over by the government there
has been talk of dissension between the
railroad administration and operating
heads of the roads, but the drastic ac.
ton taken by Director McAdoo came as

a complete surprise to both railroad and
banking heads. The severe congestion
experienced last winter is believed by
many to have been one of the reasons
actuating the measure just adopted
The attitude of Director McAdoo in
cutting the salaries of operating manag-
ers, reports placing the limit on salaries at
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually is ac-
cepted by the bankers with many misgiv-
ings. Some believe drastic cut in sal
aries might tend to result in disorgani-
zation of operating stats by reason of
the probability that the most capable Of
the railroad heads might turn to the in
dnstrial field and accept positions as the
heads of industrial corporations paying
very large salaries. These bankers de-
clare that compensation received by rail-
road presidents is greatly under that re-
ceived by heads Of large industrial COM
panies
Francis III. Sisson, vice president of the
Guarantys Trust company, and who is con-
sldered one of the best informed If not
the best informed banker on railway f.
nance and economics, says the combined
salaries of operating officials of railroads
throughout the nation constitutes less
than | per cent of the operating expenses,
SO that the cut in wages represents but
little from the viewpoint of economy
The average salary of railway exec.
utives of the country says Mr.. Sisson,
IS only about 5000. It is a misnomer
that railroad presidents receive fabulous
salaries. Few receive $4,000 annually and
so far as | know only one is on the pay
roll for $4,000.
Presidents of railways receive from
$4,000 upward, the maximum being
$4,000, and vice-presidents receive from
$4,000 to $4,000. General counsels. who
are officers. get as high as $4,000 an
nualy. When you consider that rail
road employees recently received an in
crease in wages amounting to $500 ,000, 90,
the combined salaries of the railroad of
dicials look extremely small. 1t also must
be remembered that to obtain brains com
mensurate salaries must be paid
Bankers are curious to learn what prom
inent railroad operators like W. p. Rip
10y. president of the -Atchison. who are
considered czars in their own properties.

Miss Stinson's No-Stop
Flight from Chicago Meets
with an Accident
GASOLINE SUPPLY
COMPELLED STOP

In Making Descent Propeller Was Bro
ken-Travels More Than 700 Miles in
Ten Hours-Circled Binghamton Sew
eral Hours.
NEW YORK, May 24.-Katherine
Stinson, attempting to fly without stop
from Chicago to Mineola, L. l., ran out
of gasoline near Binghamton, n. Y,
last night and in landing on a hill
side the propeller of her biplane was
broken and one of the wings was dam
aged. The 22-year- old aviator was not
hurt, for consolation she Rugged the
fact that she had broken both the
American records for continuous flying
and for endurance
Over the same route two years ago
Ruth Law made a nonstop record of
$50 miles, from Chicago to Hornell,
y. Y. Miss Stinson was in the air
from the moment she left Grant Park,
Chicago, at a. m. yesterday until she
alighted in a field two miles from Bing-
hamton at $40 p. m.
BY the Erie railroad the distance
between Blnghamton and Chicago is
183 miles. As Miss Stinson followed
the New York Central most of the way,
turning southeast near the New York
and Ohio boundary to approximate an
air line, it was impossible last night
TO say exactly how far she had flown.
Certainly it was more than 700 miles.
The previous nonstop record was held
by Lieut.. 0. M. Bounds of the United
States army at 700 miles In December
last Miss Stinson flew without hating
from San Diego to San Francisco, 6l0
miles, IN 9 hours and 10 minutes. On
yesterdays journey She was in flight
10 hours
When she left Chicago the girl
thought she had enough gasoline for IL
hours. but winds that she encountered
caused the supply to be exhausted soon
er than she expected. When she saw
that she would have to land and real
lied that at the very worst she had
beaten the men at their own game she
eireled the city of Ringhamton several
times looking for a place to land
Miss Stinson selected a small plateau
on hill north of the city A strong
wind added to her difficulties. She
was anxious to strike the ground at
a spot that was high, so there would
oe no mud. and the hillside seemed from
her elevation to be level
All her careful calculation went for
naught, for the hill was very soft. The
wheels sank into it the instant they
touched the ground and instead of
seudding along the surface the machine
toppled over
Binghamton had been watching fol
Miss Stinson, and few minutes after
she landed hundreds of automobiles
were on the scene and eager hands were
helping her to right the biplane. She
assured the people that she was not
injured and directed the work of sal
wage.
When it was righted Miss Stinson
was carried into the city in triumph.
She was taken to a hotel where she
said that new propeller would be OBJ
tanned from Elmira, that the slight
damage to the wing would be repaired
by local mechanics and that she and her
mount would be ready to resume the
trip to New York in the morning.
