BANKERS QUIT
^.DIRECTORATES
Morgan Banking House Retires From
Positions With N. Y. C. and N.
Y., N. H. & H. Roads..
.
!
NEW YORK, Jan. J.—The J. P.
Morgan banking house have publicly
announced that all the members of
the firm have resigned from any con
nection with the New York Central
railroad and the New York, New Ha
ven & Hartford road because of the
public opposition to interlocking di
rectorates, by which the policy of the
roads was controlled by the great
financial house.
Hereafter the banking house will
do a strictly banking business and
will in no way concern itself as to
the management of the roads
It is generally believed that from
now on the interests of the bankers
and the roads will not be along the
same lines and control of railroads by
banks will cease, but many are con
fident that the change will retard the
heretofore rapid development of the
railroad systems, as the banks were
willing to loan money to railroads
when they could assure themselves
of the proper expenditure of the
same, and would therefore loan much
larger sums than w-ill be advanced
under the new system of banking
only.
EXTRA VERTEBRA

The doctor announces' that he has
examined a large number of skele
lons of the Eskimo, also a great
many of living male and female of
the specie an-1 lias found invariably
that those who are the best canoeists
are possessors of extra joints in their
