Succeeds Harriman as Head of
Union Pacific Railroad.
While Working at a Freight Clerk In
Texas He Studied Law at Night and
Became a Country Counsel For the
Houston East and West Texas Rail
roadMade General Counsel For the
Southern Pacific at Houston and At
tracted Harriman's Notice.
New York, Sept. 14. The continu
ance of the Harriman policies In the
management of I'nion Pacific, South
ern Pacific and the chain of allied
railroads, was made certain, temporarily
At least, when Robert S. Ixvett, E. 11.
Harriman's personal counsel and close
friend, was elected to succeed him at
the head of the executive committee
of the Union Pacific railroad. To
strengthen further the dominance of
the "Harriman idea" Jacob H. Sehlff
and William Rockefeller both heavily
interested in the Harriman enterprises
were elected directors 'In place of
-Mr. Harriman and the late H. H. Rog
ers and were also chosen to places on
the executive committee.
The V, P. remains without prosident.
Mr. Harriman occupied this posi
tion also. It Is understood, however,
that, an operating man probably L. F,
Uiioe, president of the Delaware and
Hudson, will be elected for the place
at the annual meeting of stockholders
to be held Oct. 12. Proxies for this
meeting already in the hands of Judge
I,ovett and Alexander Millar, secre
tary of the I'nion Pacific, seems to
guarantee that, the election will be
dictated by the Harriman Interests.
The ollice which Judge Lovett as
sumed Is the most Important In the
management and financial supervision
of the I'nion Pacific. Judge Lovett's
close associations with Mr. Harriman,
particularly during the last weeks of
the hitter's life, make him. In the opin

culiarly fitted to assume the reion
sibililies of the position. He and
Loiee, the slated candidate for the
presidency, share the honor of a closo
familiarity with Mr. Harriman's
dreams for the undeveloped territory
over which he hoped to push the as
cendancy of his railroad systems.
Judge Ix)vett, who In view of his
new offices becomes for the moment
one of the most prominent railroad
men In the public eye, came to New
York city in 1000. Born in Texas, 49
yenrs ago. he entered the railroad
business while a boy as a $10 a month
freight clerk for the Houston East and
West Texas railroad at Houston.
While serving as a freight clerk he
studied law at night, and eventually
became a country counsel for the rail
road. Later the receivers of the road made
him a district counsel and he won pro
motion to the position of genernl coun
sel. His next step was membership
In a firm which represented the South
ern Pacific. He became so valuable
to this system under Mr. Harriman
that ho was made genernl counsel
with ollices at Houston. Three years
