The dispatches from Indiana yesterday. stating
that the Adams and American express companies
had consolidated offices In several cities Of 'ha'
state and that in all probability the National EX-
uross Company would also become party to the
schcme gave rise 10 rlmors here that the com
panies named were consolidating interests ther'
which might extend to other states This. now
"var. - not the case. These companies are CON
centratng Offices under one roof in the smaller
towns in the Western Division, but are not con-
solidating interests anywhere.
At the Office Of the Adams Express Company In
this city it was said that President l.. G. Weir
WAS out OF town. but his secretary, Nj Gage.
declared that the scheme in the Western States Of
concentrating the working forces OF two OF moro
corporations in one business was old. The object
of course, he said. was to reduce expenses as much
as possible in towns where business was light ana
required only limited floor space TO accommodate
me force of clerks and the temporary storage Of
packages. J. j. Flagg. assistant to President j.
& Fargo Of the American Express Company. who
was also seen cOrroborated Mr.. Cages statements.
He said that in way should the massns of the
several companies office force in one building be
construed as a consolidation of interests. II was
done with the one end i'm view of reducing ex-
penses I'm towns where the business did not justify
