No Change
At a meeting of the directors of The DSS&A held in New York City recently, the old officers without exception were reelected the only change being the appearance of the name of W. C. Van Horne, general manager of the CPR, as the second vice-president of The DSS&A, a new office. Those who predicted that everything was to be torn up by the roots and "God Save the Queen," supplant the more aristocratic air of "Yankee Doodle," just because of the transfer of a part of the South Shore stock to new hands, must feel considerably and extensively left as they read the following list: James McMillan, of Detroit, president; Calvin S. Brice, of New York, first vice president; W. C. Van Horne, second vice president; W. A. C. Ewen, of New York, treasurer; L. M. Schwan, of New York, secretary, and E. W. Allen, of Marquette, (Soo papers please notice) assistant secretary and treasurer.
The following directors were elected: Sir George Stephens, Bart., Sir Donald Smith, Bart., W. C. Van Horne, vice president of the CPR, J. W. Sterling of New York, R. J. Cross, of Morton, B1iss & Co.; T. W. Pearsall, New York; James McMillan, of Detroit; C. S. Brice, J. G. Moore and George I. Seney.
