The elimination of uples depart ments nnd channels of operations which have duplicating functions or which overlap will be ninoup the first chance. The economy to be effected will beue fit the company materials , it is said, not only in matter of miUiik salary cc Tienditure. Imt in rnuMnc more direct nction and less loss by elimitmtluK pos Mblc friction of conflicting departments Three Main Departments The railroad, it is understood, will 'be divided into three great tlepait Cicnts: Passenger traffic, fi eight tiaflic and a department of general coal traf fic. Under there respective beads there shape tlienisehes three oilier dii-ious that will bo controlled and directed ns follows: The New Yorlv division of passenger and freight, the Atlantic Cit nnd other seashore resort lines and the coal urea routes. Among the nprSointmcrits beebm'rbg effective ns of March 1 follow : Assistant to the president. John 1" Audi, vice president .

Passenger Traffic llc.nl Just whicli of the appointees will as nume control of the new division is not known, other than it is expected that Vice President Croslej will be named to supervise the office of general passenger traffic manager The general plans eem to cone-ipond closely to that of the reorganization adopted by the Pennsylvania IJnilroail Co. The two grand divisions largely -within the state, the New York travel and coal section traffic will fall under two offices, each with a general super intendent, one located in Philadelphia and one in Heading. While it is understood that tin freight and traffic will be separate and distinct offices, it is not l.keh that on the New York division au ti ict line of demarcation will be drav n but that tlid lino will bo treated us a whole nnd that fust freight, consisting of perish ables, foods, etc., und small express runs will conic more directly under the head of the passenger service. The reason fur this, it is suggested, is war ranted by the fact that the schedules arc almost similar', and it may be pos sible with some of Iho lighter trains to combine them with passenger service, The heavier form of freight traffic, however, will come altogether under the freight truffle head. The names of the newly designated officers and a. detiuite outline of their respective duties will be issued in a few days, WHY GO TO FLORIDA? Over at Audubon, N. J., Sparrows Chirp and Farmers Plant Lettuce "lis winter in Philadelphia, but spring in Audubon, N.M., just halt a do7cn miles avvnj. And so those who arc thinking of speeding to Palm Bench, St. Augustine and other balmy climes mu save lime and money by tukiug a fcrrjboat nud trolley to Audubon. The suggestion id based on a report from there toduy whicli stntes that spring has arrived . Here ure the in dications ns depicted by n chronicler: Two thunderstorms, spnnows chirping all day esterdny and farmers sowing lettuce seed. . Witli the thermometer showing 17 de grees in Philadelphia und milk freezing iu bottles, one must wonder nt the dif ference in climate across the Delaware. The hot discussions over the proposed l bridge and tube may have thawed the state line and warmed the Delaware's' gulf stream or perhaps it is due to the i name itelf, as the famous Audubon was an expert ornithologist and the I birds no doubt sing in tribute to their I champion ALLIANCE OFFICER NEEDS 200 JOBS FOR POLITICIANS Secretary Voorhees, of Independent Republican Body, Deluged With Pleas for Rewards for Helping Beat Varcs in Mayoralty Fight " anted Two hundred jobs for nc tive itppublicau Alllunco workers." John Vonrhces, executive secretary of the Republican Alliance, said today that ho would need that ninny city places to come unj where near meeting the do mauds of Alliance ward leaders for "jobs" for their followers. Secretary A'oorhees, to all intents ncd purposes, is running an employment agencj at Alliance headquarters, 14H0 South Penn Square. There he receives ward leaders and their followers duily. Jhese expect A'oorhees to "tip tlicni off to the possibilities for landing places. When Voorhees looks up from Ills' desk nnd sees a ward leader waiting patiently he picks up a batch of civil service lists and promptly begius naming the chances. Voorhees doesn't ask what the leader wants. Ho knows from dally experience ever since the Moore ad ministration went Into office. "IJ,owC.u"lnj' J'obs do you need right now?" Aoorhces was asked. "About four to a ward would help n little," replied the secretary. "Yes," chipped in Blalicly D. Me Caiighn, Alliance lender of the Twenty fourth ward, "at lenst four." Andrew Prosch, leader of the iWty second, aroused the envy of his asso ciates, when lie announced that he had won a place for one of his friends. "Where do I como In, John?" asked Hobert drier, of tho Eighteenth, who only beat James A. Carey, of tho Fifth, und Kilns Abrams, of the Sixteenth, by a breath. "Get jour men on the civil service lists," tersely advised Voorhees.
