Committee Named
To Aid Inn Filling
Cuyler's Position
Nomination To Be Subject
to Members Approvals
TO Study Moving Rail
Executives Headquarters

The standing committee Of the Aeso-
ciation Of Railway Executives, holding
its first meeting yesterday since the
death of 7. De Witt Cuyler, chairman
Of the association, appointed special
committee OF eighteen railway execu-
tives TO study the question of choosing
successor to Mr.. Cuyler. Resolutions
on Mr.. Cuyler's death were also passed.
Robert $. Loyett, chairman of the
Union Pacific, was appointed chairman
Of the special committee. After the
committee has reached q decision 1t
will make Recommendations to all the
member roade, who viii then be asked
co approve or disapprove the commit
tees choice.
The future policy OF the association
will also be considered by the Lovett
committee, including the matter of
whether the cfairmanship will carry a
salary. Mr.. Cuyler gave his time with
cut remuneration, but it is believed
that few other men sufficiently famii-
lar with railroad affairs will consent TO
serve without pay. Another question
relating 80 the associations future
may involve the shifting of the head
quarters from New York to either
Washington or Chicago.
AS the majority of the rail execu-
stSGS Oh LIH AUVSSL CUIIlIniItcc &Ec I1N1il,

see Chicago chosen as the associations
futwre headquarters. In addition TO

claring she had been "misquoted SO

her, Mrs. Mallory authorized the
quotation:
"The better player won"

after the match. Denouncing these

San Antonio, Texas, July. 20
Merritt Arnold Griffin is dead on
his little hog ranch a short dis
tance from San Antonio. He pass
ed on at the age Of 50. Only one
person remains to mourn him.
She-of course it is a woman-is
Vfviana (that is her only name),
an old Mexican woman Who served
him as housekeeper for nearly 80
years.
To the old timer the name of
Griffin conjures up the days of
empire building, the days Of ro-
nance and fortune, for the dead
man was the friend and associate
of James J. Hill, Buffalo Bill
Cody, Theodore Roosevelt and the
other men who played such a prom
inent part in the winning Of the
west"
Made and Lost Fortunes.
Griffin amassed fortunes in his
time. He sunk more than q quar-
ter Of a million dollars in his
dream Of connecting Texas with
South America by rail only to have
the panic of 1879 sweep away his
fortune and that of his associates
But, undaunted. he went back, THU
time to Mexico, where he piled
up another substantial stake befor,
being driven away by bandits whG
would have killed him il it had NO,
been for Viviana.
With that money he engaged b
hog ranching. For a time he me
with success. But ten years agt
the plague Of hog cholera killed Of
all his stock. Since then his lucl
was bad-it couldn't be very goOl
to man past 70-and when h,
died he left a Ford truck, Is acre
of land and a few hogs. They ar
willed to Viviana because once sh,
saved his life by sitting for hour
blowing on his face when he VA
burning up with fever and sec
ond time when she kept the ban
dts away and bought his freedom
by paying them what pesos sh,
had and promising more when th'
returns from an ore shipmen
should arrive. He had tried Il
marry her on his sick bed bu
failed. However, before he die
he was assured that she would &c
his property; the county Officials
will make sure of this.
Left Home at Is.
Leaving his Pennsylvania hom,
at the age Of Is, Griffin went t.
Michigan where he worked Will
Westerhauer and others. Then h'
became a railroad conductor ant

backed him as q contractor and b.
