JOHNSON'S SUCCESSOR HAS NOT BEEN NAMED
------
Much Speculation But No Official Announcement Made by Railroad
    There have been no appointments on the Norfolk and Western, and although there has been a great deal of surmise regarding who Mr. Johnson's successor might be, it has been all surmise as it has been learned from very good sources that George P. Johnson has not resigned as general superintendent of the western division of the Norfolk and Western.  When he will resign depends upon himself, and there can be no appointments until Mr. Johnson does formally resign, which may not be for some time, if at all.
    There are a number of rumors regarding the situation, but they are mostly rumors, and like all shop track talk may be in line with what is going on and may be premature insofar that the predictions may never come to pass, or may come to pass soon.  One rumor has it that Mr. Johnson has not definitely decided to stay with the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, and will not do so unless he has full charge of the line in every respect.  Car No. 2, his private car, has been returned to this city and he, himself, is in Detroit, having gone there in the private car furnished the chief official by the road.
