DIRECTORS' ACTION IN LINE WITH PLANS OE PUJO COMMITTEE Whether Morgan Will Retire From U. S. Steel Corporation Is Subject of Speculation By Associated Press New York, Jan. S.—The announce ment of the retirement of J. P. Mor gan and four of his partners from thirty directorships in 27 corporations, and Mr. Morgan's reference to the change in public sentiment in regard to directorships, has called attention to the fact that five important recom mendations of the Puto committee were already being put Into effect in advance of legislation requiring them. They Include the abandonment of tlscal agency agreements, such us ex isted between the New Haven and Mor gan and Company the abolition of in terlocking directorates, the abolition of voting trusts, reforms in the Stock Exchange and reforms In the Clearing House. Whetliei Mr. Morgnn will decide to withdraw from the directorate of the United States Steel Corporation was the subject of a great deal of specula tion to-day. The general opinion was that as the so called steel trust was the greatest of the Morgan creations, and was considered by the elder Mor gan the crowning achievement of this financial career, his son will consider it his duty to remain identified with it in an active way, especially until government suit has been decided one way or the other. However the Morgan firm was no less actively identified with the finan cial development of the New York Central lines, for which Mr. Morgan was the banking sponsor throughout the greater part of his career. His connection with it dated from the time of Commodore Vanderbilt and during the time of William H. Vanderbilt it was through Mr. Mor gan's influence that Knglish investors placed enormous sums of money in the securities of the road.

Police and Detectives Search For Bandits Who Robbed Men in Taxicab By .Associated Press Pittsburgh, Pa., Jnn. 3.—The motor cycle 6 transfer the license to the location witliln described is hereby refused. In that brief language and without further comment Additional Law Judge S. J. M McCarrell shortly before noon to-day refused the application of B. Leslie Potter for a transfer of the hotel license he now holds at 624 State street to Jvos. 25 and 27 South Third street. Potter, who Is one of the Eighth Ward hotelmen who must vacate his premises by March 1 because his prop erty has been bought by the State for the extension of Capitol Park, has made two previous attempts to obtain a new location within the last year or so. Third and Mueneh streets was the first site Potter chose, but withdrew that application because of the weight: of public sentiment against this; a little later he tried to Ret a transfer to Cameron and Horr streets, but with drew this also for the name reason. A few months ago Potter, through a realty affency, got an option on the properties of Mrs. Surah McCulloch and Mrs. Louise Aughinbaugh in South Third street, which he hoped to combine and remodel for hotel pur poses. There was widespread oppo sition to tills, church people and other citizens protesting vigorously against the establishing of a hotel there.

Attorneys thought an action would be brought by Hotter to compel the owner to comply with the contract terms, but it was believed that in view of (he fact that the <|iiestjnnt®t' transfer was really in abeyance, 110 action of this kind would be at tempted.
