Hanna, President of the Cana- | dian National Railways, Arrived ig Kingston Tuesday Afternoon, and | is to Speak at the Citizens' Ban- | quet. : 1 From ihe comparative obscurity of | a clerkship in the auditor's office of | .the Grand Trunk Railway at Mont-| real, Mr. Hanna has risen to become one of the great railwaymen of Can- ada. As president of the Canadian National Railways, a system embrac- | {ing the Canadian Northern, Interco-| lonial and National Transcontinental | ! railroads, he will become, with the | absorption of the Grand Trunk and | Grand Trunk Pacific lines, the active; ' héad of the greatest rail transporta- | tion system in the world. i Mr, Hanna is Scottish by birth. His | railroad service dates back to 1874] when at the age of 16 he entered he employ of the Glasgow, Barrhead % Kilmarnock railway of Scotland, 1s a junior clerk and ticket agent. | As is customary in Scottish institu- ons, he received a thorough training 1 this road and on the Caledonian ailwayof Scotland, upon which for our years he was a freight clerk. In 1882 he came to Canada and | oined the Grand Trunk as clerk in the auditor's office at Montreal, leav- | ing that road for a similar position | in the New York offices of the New York, West Shore and Buffalo Rail-| way. In 1886 he became chief ac-| countant of the Manitoba and North- | | western railway. Thereafter his pro- | | motion was rapid, and he was ap-| | pointed in succession treasurer and | land superintendent of the road. i | Mr. Hanna's services 'with this; | railroad led Mackenzie & Mann to | commandeer him for the post of gen- | eral superintendent of the Canadian {| Northern railway, then (in 1898) practically in its cradle. With this | system he has since remained, see- i ing it become a transcontinental rail- | way, In 1902 he became third vice- president of the railroad, and in 1907 its general manager. When the Can- { adian Northern was taken over by | the Government, he was chosen by | the Government to become its head. | - Theatrical matt At the Grand. To-night will be the last showing of the splendid programme of fea- ture pictures now ning at the Grand. Constance TMNmadge, the charming Select Pictures star, is seen in her latest prodyction, "The Veiled Adventure." The play is a beautiful romance, and romance, it might be said is Miss Talmadge's "long suit." The star is supported by an excellent company and the play is one of the best ever produced. H. B. Warner, the well knownsmotibn picture actor, is. also seen in a deilghtful comedy entitled, "A Fugitive From Matri- mony." The plot deals with the ef- forts of a young society man to es- cape matrimony, and the many amus- ing situations that ensue, make a novel vehicle for this talented star, and many laughable moments for the spectator. There are also reels of comedy, and a very interesting reel fof Pictorial Life. This bill is com- pleted by an act of superior vaude- ville and is seen for the last time to- night.--Advt. Coming to the Grand. For the last three days of this week, the management of the Grand offers a programme of photoplays that is sure to please the most criti- cal. Mary Pickford, who has been rightly styled the "queen of moving picture actresses," is seen in the first big picture she has produced for the Big Four, "Pollyanna." This is the "glad play," taken from Eleanor H. Porter's novel of the same name. The play is one of cheerful philosophy and gladness, and no one can witness this picture and go away feeling gloomy and out of sorts with the world. Mary Pickford has appeared as a child in many pictures, but never in a production of such beauty as "Pollyanna." The play points out that as bad as things are they might be worse, and the star emphdiizes this point in a delightful manner. The cast is an excellent one and adds greatly to the success of this produc- tion. There will also be another splendid feature, "Loot," from the novel of that name by Arthur Som- ers Roche, with a wonderful cast, including Ora Carew and Darrell Fods. This programme will be shown Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week.--Advt. = "The Passing Show." of all Winter Garden , "The Passing Show of 1918," under the direction of Messrs. Lee and J, J. Shubert, will be the attrac- at the Grand O The son, Max, and the florist"s pretty daughter Ruth. We cannot recom- mend more delightful entertainment than "Brother's Divided," and feel sure patrons who see this picture will thoreughly enjoy it. A. good comedy picture, and an exceptionally picturesque Outing Chester are on the same bill, which will be shown hgain to-night and to-morrow. ---- Advt. > ¥ MARY PICKFORD In "Pollyanna," at the Grand Opera House, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, of this' week. & BLUNDER ON TICKER UPSETS WALL STREET Misleading Report, Due to Sender's Haste, Breaks the Stock Market. New York," March 9---When the voice of Justice Pitney started to drone out the decision in the case of McComber vs' Eisner in the United States supreme court in Washington at noon yesterday, a reporter, with a telegraph operator at his side, at- tempted to beat competitors with the news by guessing at the decision. He guessed wrongly. The result was one of the wildest days in the history of Wall street, in which industrial stocks crashed and then literally skyrocketed through the roof. At 12.09 one of the news tickers printed this bulletin: 'Stock divid- ends income." This was the, inter. pretation of the reporter in Washing- ton, gained from the first few sent- ences of the decision. Another bulletin followed in which it was stated that the contention of the government had been upheld and that stock dividends were taxable. fo spread the erfoneous report more completely a news service which had been beaten on thes story by about four minutes 'picked up" the news from- its competitor and assist- 1 in flashing to all parts of the fi- nancial district the report that the decision had been favorable to the government. Ni The result was as sudden and com- plete a drop out of the : ket. as Wall street has seéén in many a day. Stocks were thrown overboard with- out regard to values. Prices ¢crumpl- ed one, two, three and even four points at a time as stocks poured in- to the exchange. " Editor of Medical Journal.
