PRES. WILLARD
RELIEVEDFROM
b. D. DUTIES
REMAINS AT HEAD
OF THE CORPORATION
But Relinquishes His Powers
as Operating Head of the
System

Special Dispatch to Ta., Intcilisencer.
BALTIMORE, Md. May 24.-Daniel
Willard. president of the B. &: o. rail
road, and one of the best known rail-
7oad heads operating great systems,
has been relieved of all connection
with the operating department Of his
railroad.
Mr. Willard will retain his place, as
president Of the corporation owning
the line, but will have no place in the
railroad administration, and no juris-
diction outside of the corporate inter
ests Of the organization The unoftl-
cial announcement is that the presi-
dent Of the B. & o. has elected to as
sociate himself with the corporate side
of the organization.
The news that President Willard
had actually been relieved of his du.
ties as the operating head of the prop
critics, caused sensation in railroad
circles today. Baltimore and Ohio Of
ficials were astounded over the an
nouncement.
President Willard was at his office
here to-day, as usual. and to all In
tents and purposes still in full charge
Of tle property. He declined abso-
lutely to make any comment on the
report that he had been called to
Washington on Monday last and had
at that time been relieved Of his
duty as the operating head Of the
road
Mr.. Willard would ventTe no in
formation as to when the Aansser or
authority to other hands, so far as
actual operations are concerned would
ever. IS June l. 1t is thus assumed
that the federal director of the B. &
o. system will be named BY C. H.
Markham BY that time The 3. & V.
will really be split into three divl-
sions. and it not unlikely that fed
eral director for each division will
be named by the national railroad
administration.
Even though he is no longer per
mitted to direct the operations OF the
B. & o. Mr.. Willard is still preSi-
dent, having been duly elected TO
that position at the regular meeting
OF officers held in January last. II
is presumed that he will continue IN
that position after the federal direc-
tor is named and takes full charge
Of operations on the B. & o. The
directors will pAet next Wednesday
in New York. ana some thing in con-
nection with Mr.. Wizards future may
develop at this meeting.
