Pelley, who came up from the south to do railroading in the New England states grected stockholders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com- \ Ppany in anuual session here today. Few of those present had met Presi dent Pelley, who took the place which was vacated through the death of Edward J. Pearson. The grectings and handshaking were wholly his, as Edward G. Buckland, chairman ot the board, who for 50 many years as general counsel sat ] beside the president to amplify the * latter's remarks supplementary to the annual report, is in the hospital. He sent ,however, a statement such ss he would have made had he been present, explanatory of e | habilitation of the New en sys- tem physically and financially, and gave the cheering news to those present that while net earnings for common ttock in 1928 were “ox- actly eight dollars a share” the net income for three months this year will be substantially in excess of the net earnings for the corresponding three months last year. ‘ulogizes Pearson Buckland wrote from the hos- pital. He was to have presided to- day. He said in part, after men- tioning that annual .reports had been distributed, that the resuits * ghown in them were due to the planning and efficient operation of our late president, Mr. Pearson, who foresaw with remarkable vision the cutting down of the cost of trans- portation by making a better ma- chine with which to produce it. “His prediction will be further fulfilled by our new president, John J. Pelley, whose long experience in intensive operation fits him in an unusual degree to continue the work which he has so auspiciously started. “In all the foregoing, been the loyally, efficiency, Babe Ruth and Mrs. Hodgson Wed | At Dawn as Small Group Watches “King of Sw at" and Bride P ATIENT RMSES HEAI] Repair at Once to Her HRST '"ME IN 2 WKS.
