THE VANDALIA'S AFFAIRS
OLD BOARDS OF DIRECTORS
y OFFICERS REELECTED.
Opposition to Diversion of Export
Grain Via Southern POrts-The
Car-Service Association.

The annual. meetings of the stockholders of
the Terre Haute 81 indianapolis Company,
the Terre Haute & Logansport Company
and the Indiana & Lake Michigan Company
were held yesterday at Terre Haute, and
despite all rumors Of a sensational char
acter the meetings were the most har-
monious that have been held for years, and
the number of shares voted was larger than
usual. There were present James NcCrea,
first vice president of the Pennsylvania
Company; Third Vice President Davidson,
Fourth Vice President Wood, Secretary
Liggett, Treasurer George +. harrington
and j. j. Turner, vice president and general
manager Of the Vandalia, and q, 745 shares
were represented by the gentlemen named.
Second Vice President Brooks was at Terre
Haute. but so indisposed tnat he remained
in his car most of the day. About an hour
was occupied in reading the annual report.
in which Mr.. McCrea stated that the cause
of the Vandalia being thrown into the hands
of a receiver was due TO its Peoria and
Michigan branches. These, he said, had
experienced heavy deficits both in main
tenance and operating departments. Their
cost to the main line Of 30 per cent, he held,
was too great; as Z per cent. was more than
the operating expenses should average.
While the report did not so state in so
many words, its tenor was that unless bet
ter leases could be secured and lower rates
of interest obtained on their bonded indebt-
edness, there Is practically no end to the
roads financial difficulties in sight. for the
main line can never bear the expenses it has
undertaken in the past. He suggested no
way out OF the difficulty, however, and no
attempt was made to outline the future poi
icy of the road. In fact, he said. it would
be largely owing to circumstances and to
the pleasure of the court and receiver. When
asked. What is TO become OF these
lines?' Mr.. McCrea said, ne could not tell
possibly the dissatisfied bondholders could,
but he thought there was no question as
TO the Pennsylvania Company being willing
to turn the road over to them If they
wanted il. AS 10 rumored changes in OFF,
Gals he had heard nothing new, and he
thought all had been done in that direction
that would be, as was indicated in the fact
that the old boards of directors of the three
roads named were reelected yesterday,
and the directors in turn had reelected the
old board of officials. Mr.. McCrea said that
everything was now moving along very
smoothly; business. of course. was not as
good as they would like. but he was conf
dent that before six months the volume of
traffic would greatly increase. The stock
holders OF the Terre Haute & Peoria di-
vision will hold their annual meeting on
Tuesday.
