ARE DISARRANGED Death of President: Hays Leaves Grand Trunk Pacific In Predicament. of Charles M. Hays; president of the Grand Trunk railway andthe Grand Trunk Pacific, has so -dis- arranged the plans of these com- | pariies that-it is believed the: di- rectors have but little idea: what his j program: ‘of ‘construction “for. 1912 and 1918. really wag. It waa the intention of Mr: land, to lay his plans before ‘the directors for approval, but what these were and the finaicial arrangements ke made ‘in London will never ‘be known: as’ they perished with his brains. It will take months to gather struction policy. As a rule he kept the ‘details of his plans to himself uniil they. were sufficiently: developed to lay before _ the directorate for approval. The “only. man who was fa- miliar with his plans was his sec- retary, and he perished alone with Mr. Hays, His untimely death was a eal-|a amity ' ‘to the Dominion as a whole, and especially to western Canada, in ‘the development of which he was just beginning to ‘take such an-active interest, The possibilities are that E.
