gaining his health.Mr. Wilcox has been president o£

the D. & H. for the past four years.Mr. Loree is chairman of the ex-

ecutive committed of the Kansas CitySouthern Railway Co. His accept-ance of the presidency of the D. &H. does not involve the abandon-ment of that office.

Mr. Wilcox was recently electedpresident of the Hudson Valley rail-way, and is connected with otherboards .in which the D. & H. is in-terested, but what other changes his

I resignation will make is not known•\ at present.

i. Interests well informed as to thecompany's affairs say that the resig-nation of Abel I. 'Culver, the secondvice-president, has also been handedin. He has been trying to leavethe company for the past six weeks,and it is not known that he will sev-er his connection with the railroad'before the end of the year.-.. Mr. Culver's friends say that -thestrain of active railroad work is tooh.ard upon him, and that is why heintends to leave. A short time agohe'• suffered a long attack of illness.He has had added duties forced up-on him since the departure of Presi-dent Wiicox for Europe.

A few days ago Mr. Culver cele-brated his 25th anniversary of ser-vice with the D. & H. He is recog-nized as a .most capable official andhas made a great name for himselfIn railroad circles. He was for anumber of years in the comptroller'soffice of the company and sincetaking charge of the operating de-partment of the road has done muchto develop the D. & H. system.

It is understood that Mr. Culverdesires to secure a place with somemanufacturing concern where hisduties will not be so arduous. It isknown that he has recently receiveda tempting offer to go with anotherrailroad, but refused it. Rumors ofhis resignation have been currentfor some time, and it will be gen-erally regretted in railroad circle-,that he is to retire from that line

The number cast is onlyabout one-seventh of those entitledto vote on taxpayers' propositions.

The fact that about a third of thetaxpayers who voted registered theirdisapproval oi' the proposition to buythe West, brook watershed, buildlarger reservoir and otherwise im-prove and pratect the source of thecity's water supply, gave cause forconsiderable surprise. When it wasannounced that 62 persons had vot-ed against the issue of bonds forthese purposes, much atonishmentwas expressed. The proposition hadbeen talked about for week.
