SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1913 PRICE_TWO CENTS Each Division of System to have an Operating Executive with Duties Well Defined HOWARD ELLIOTT TO HEAD THE ENTIRE SYSTEM Latter Chosen to Succeed Mellen for Second Time in His Career—New President Began Railroading as a Clerk Thirty Years Ago—New By-laws to be Adopted in Accordance with Suggesti New York, July 25.—Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific, was elected president and director of the New York, New Havea and Hartford railroad &t a meeting of its directors | today angd a new plan adopted for the adminy. n and operation of the entire New Haven system. This pro- vides that as soon as the by-laws of the road can be changed the mnew resident shail become chairman of Foe board ‘of directors and. that each ivision of the system, the New York, Now Haven and Hartford proper, the n and Maine, the New England Navigation company and the network of trolley lines, shall each have an operting executive, a president “with defined duties,” who will be subordin- te to the chairman. Mr. Ellioit is to become chairman also of the boards of @irectors of each of these divisions. Representation for Interested Com- munities. The plan provides further that the boards of directors of the New Haven and the Boston and Maine “shall in- clude a sufficient number of the influen- 1ial residents of the scveral states in which the properties are situated, ade- | quately to represent the interests of | the communities served.” Mr. Elliott will assume his new du- tiés on_ September 1, succeeding | Charles S. Meilen, and will be elected chairman some time in October, when & regular meeting of the directors oc- | curs, at which it is proposed to' make | necessary changes the lews New President’s Statement. “T take up this work with a very polemn sense of duty to the owners of the property, to the people that are to be served, and to my family and my- ealf,” said the mew president tonight. ~If any experience, talent, strength, courage and judgment that 1 may have scquired in the west can be applied to making a better and more satisfactory transportation machine 1o serve the people of New England and to build up and be part of a Greater New Eng- land, and to bring a return to the many owners of its securities, I shall feel that Thave done something to heip, and be satisfied and gratified.” Who the subordinate operafing ex- ecutives for the four properties would be, Mr. Elliott said that he was not prepared to say at present, as he had not had time to comsider the matter. Timothy E. Byrnes, now vice president of the New Haven, was mentioned to- nizht as the possible president of the road Recommended by Stockholders. The new plan is based on recom- mendations of the committee of stock- holders headed by George Von L. Mey- er. which was constituted to suggest reforms in the management of the New Baven road during the recent agitation against the road which colminated in the resignation of Mr. Mellen. ihe recommendations were embodied a report of the sub-committes of direc- tors appointed to elect Mr. Mellen's successor and which were submitted with the approval of the committee to the fall board of directors today and by them adopted. These included further the sugges- tions that the local organization of the system be simplified and that efforts be made, in confunction with the “gov- ernors’ conference of the New England States, recently called together to con- sider the New Haven situation, to se- cure uniformity in the raitroad laws throughout the New England States, especially in those affacting the issue of shares and securities. Conservatism Adveocated. They aiso emphasized that the fu- ture poiicies of the road should he “founded and carried out on conserva- | tive and constructive lines. ‘ Probabiy much of the distrust and dissatisfaction which exists and me of the complaints which have been mede.” the report of the sub-commit~ tee read, “are due to the fact that there have been no distinct Lnes between the functions of general administration of the wh stem and the functions of | oneratin of each separate property. | “We would therefore suggest that the foiure organization should correct this, and that the titular head of ths New Haven system should give his at- iention to the genmeral administration snd supervision of the associated prop- erties, while there shouid be 2 sespon- #ible operating head for eacch separate in the by- property who would be responsible for | efcient service. We think that this could be probably done best by cre- ating the position of chairman of the hoard for the New Haven and for each meparate property, to be filled by one who would be chief executive of the entire system. while the president of euch company shouid be the operating head, subordinate to the chairman of the board of directors. No Action on Criticism. “To put in effect the suggested or- ganization a change in the by-laws | must be made. which could not be| completed hefore the stated meeting of | the board in October. The exigencies of the situation require more immedi- ate action. We would suggest that while the necessary changes in the by- Jaws are being made, that a president | be elected who would, as soon as pos- sitle, be made chairman of the board, and the position of president should be filled by one whose duties would be defined as snggested” No action was takem today, so far as could be learned, on the recent re- port of the interstate commerce com- mission critieising the New Haven, partienlarly as to its ownership of froliey lines. 1t had been understood that Mr. Mellen was to submit an an- gwer to those criticlams at today's meeting, and that it approved this an- swer would be made public. J. P. Mor- gan, a member of the executive com- mitine, sadd that the report had been *“informally discussed but passed over. “All Must Work Together. While Mr, Elliott would not admit tonight that he had any plans in view |the Burlington system, on of Stockholders’ Committee adjusting its affairs to the views of the commission. “I realize full well” he said, “the burdens and responsibilities that must be carried by any railroad executive in these days of complex relations be- tween the government—naticnal, state and municipal—the public that must bé served safely and reasonably, the owners and employes who must re- | ceive fair treatment and compensation for their investment and labor in their effort to produce the service the public | demans; the press that is such a pow- erful influence in advancing the wel- | fare of the country by creating a sound | public opinion—all must worlk together 1o produce those results whigh every- one desires. Has No Wish to Displace Anybody. “Particularly is this true in the case of the New Haven road and its asso- ciated lines. serving as they do a thick- 1y populated part of the United States; states where to a large degree food, i | | | fuel and raw materials must be brought in promptly and regularly from outside of New England and manufactured articles and merchandise distributed in like manner, and where a very larze amoumt of complicated passenger transportation must be furnished to many communities. “I come into the management with- out prejudice for or against any com- munity, policy, organization, method of workman or men. I hope and expect to find many officers and men with whom I can work closely and cordially. 1 have no wish to displace any man so long as he is needed, and is of good character, loyal, competent and is in- dustrious and will pull his full share of the load” Elliott to Live in Boston. Mr. Elliott will leave for his sum- mer home in Dublin, N. H., tomorrow, returning here Tuesday. He plans later to 2o to St. Paul, wind up his affairs as president of the Northern Pacific, and take a short vacation before as- suming his new duties. He will make his future home in Boston. Mr. Eiliott, who was quartered in a hotel near the New Haven office, was notified of his election imimediately after the meeting, which did not ad- Journ until his arrival. The new pres- ident was then introduced to the di- rectors by Mr. Mellen. The recom- mendations of the Meyer committes were embodied in a letter to the sub- committee of directors.

Supplementing statements he made earlier in the day, disapproving the suggestion of American mediation or the appolntment of a triparite com- missiop, Mr. Wilson tonight gave his reasons why he considered tha plan for such a commission not a feasible one.

Expects to be Sent Back, “I have been blamed for a great deal” the ambassador commented as ha discussed his administration in Mex~ ico City. On everything he has done he “stands pat” however, he said. and believed that he would bé sent back to Mexlco. The ambassador's silence regarding his opinion as to American recogni- tion was broken tonight long enough for him to comment on one of his acts | just subsequent to the overthrow of | Madero.
