Railroad Circles Hear Report Thai tle

Will Be Abolished
it was reported in railroad circles,
yesterday, that John F. Stevens. one
time chief engineer of the Panama
canal. would never his connection with
the New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford Railroad, nnd that the ethos of
vlccvprcsideut. which he has held.
would be abolished,.the business of
that department to be transferred to
the office of general manager.
When Mr. Stevens resigned as chief
engineer of the Panama canal, there
was some caustic criticism of his ac-
tion by President Roosevelt, who ex-
pressed his ideas in forcible language
on the duty a man owed to his coun-
try to serve it at even a pecuniary
loss. President Taft was then secre-
tary of war, and. he indorsedlwhst the
president had said. Mr. Stevens de-
fended his position and returned to
the railroad business.
For a time he was employed by Jem-
es J. Hill, on the Great Northern sys-
tem. and Charles S. Mellen induced
him to come east to examine and make
a revaluation of the New Haven sys-
tem. It was a difficult task. but so

believed the places should have been

For some. time there has been frie-

on the road. who object to rules be
made. which they declared were arbi-.

who adjusted the differences between
the roitd and the men. There was a
report that Mr. Stevens. who iswbest

builder, would make a connection with
