C, TUESDAY, proved the seating of Van Sweringen and six other Clevelandeérs on the Mis- souri Pacific board. The Interstate Commerce Commission’s action also ‘was interpreted as indirect assent to the Alleghany Corporation’s acquisition of the Missouri Pacific. Further indication of Van Swerin- gen's shift of his active interests to the West was seen in his recent resignation as chairman of the board of directors of the Chesapeake & Ohio. His place was scheduled to be filled by C. & O. directors today, although there were reports that for the nt the chair- manship might be left open. Immediate management of the Mis- souri Pacific, however, will be left to L. W. Baldwin, who was re-elected president. ‘The Missourl Pacific’s expansion plans include leasing of the Interna- tional Great Northern, the Gulf Coast Lines and 37 smaller lines of their net- works. Baldwin expressed hope that the Interstate Commerce Commission will approve these steps as well as grant permission to take over the Denver, Rio Grande & Western and the Western Pa- cific. ‘The Missouri Pacific also adcpted an amendment permitting directors’ meet- ings in Cleveland, which makes this city the most important railroad fi- nancial center outside of New York and Chicago, with the Van Sweringen interests in control of the Nickel Plate, Erie, Pere Marquette and Chesapeake & MAY MEXICAN ART WORK TO BE EXHIBITED HERE| Carnegie Institute Announces Col- lection Will Tour U.

CHICAGO, May 27.—Although no word has been received from the Field Museum’s Vernay-Lange African expe- dition for about two weeks, no alarm is felt, Stephen C.
