Announcement of an official nature has
been made regarding the projected CONSOLE
dation OF the Chicago e. Eastern Illinois
Railroad Company, the st. Louis, Memphis
& southeastern and other lines owned by
the ST. Louis & San Francisco west of the
Mississippi river. All of these lines are
now in operation. with the exception of
l5o miles between Thebes and st. Louis.
which are now under construction. They
are to be consolidated into the Chicago. st.
Louis, Memphis & New Orleans Railroad
Company, a new corporation which, in
Guiding the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and
the line now being constructed into st.
$50.
There will be an issue of bonds, saws the
New York Times. and it will necessarily
be large as the proceeds will be used prin-
cipaly Tor the purpose of retiring existing
securities. The exact amount of the issue
mas not been fully decided upon. The i'm
portant point, however. is that the cash
requirement in connection With the trans
action will be small. inasmuch as it will
consist largely of an exchange of the
bonds OF the new company for the securi-
ties of the various other companies to be
consolidated. These plans for the Chicago
ST. Louis, Memphis d New Orleans Rail-
road Company, when accomplished. will
form an important line from Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City over the Frisco
and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and for
all the Northwestern territory served by
the Rock Island to the New Orleans gate
way.
1t is understood an arrangement has been
reached between the Missouri Pacific and
the Frisco by which the line from Men,
phis to Baton Rouge will be made joint
line between the two companies thus saw
ing Cor both companies an unnecessary
duplication of lines for about 200 miles
The Frisco will cross the Mississippi river
at Baton Rouge. from which point it will
have joint and equal use with the Illinois
Central of its line into New Orleans.

WHITAKER MAKESREPLY
TAKES ISSUE WITH SUPERINTEND-
ENT BYERs, OF REFORMATORY.
He Claims that the Expenditures This
Year Are in Excess of the Same
Period Last Year.

Superintendent Byers. of the Indiana Re-
formatory, yesterday gave out a statement
at Jeffersonville in answer to charges of
extravaganza in the management of the
Reformatory made by a member of the
board of managers in an interview in a
local afternoon paper some days ago. Mr..
Byers is quoted as saying:
II have here the figures from our books
showing balances at this date and bal
ances at the corresponding date of last
year. These balances will speak for them
selves Last year at this time there was
in the maintenance appropriation a bal
ance of S1174.T. The per capita allow
ance TO the institution at that time for
the maintenance of all prisoners in excess
of 800 was S4202S, making a total balance
OF 81 1892 AT this date. July /, 1903.
with four months to run. the balance in
We have also in stock s3.31S.5l In excess
or the stock on hand one year ago. We
have a per capita allowance due for the
maintenance of prisoners over 800 of
81, $3.50 We have also the specific appro-
prlation of 5000 made by the last Legisla-
ture to supplement this years mainte
nance expense and this latter appropria-
ton was made in recognition of the fact
that the appropriation originally made for
the year, of $4,000, was insufficient for
the purpose. We have thus a balance
$35. 70351.
THE above figures, which can be easily
verified from our books, show that we
have s4,10S.49 larger balance at this time
than at the corresponding date of last
year."
Will H, Whitaker. who will succeed Mr.
Byers as superintendent of the Reform
atory next month. has been at the institu-
ton for several days, examining the books
and acQuainting himself with conditions
there. He returned yesterday, and last
night he was seen by representative Of
the Journal and shown Mr.. Byerss state
ment. He said:
Il don't care to get into a discussion with
Mr. Byers over this matter, but the facts
in the case are these: The first eight months
of the fiscal year ending July /, 1902. the
expenditures for maintenance of the IN
diana Reformatory were 81, 403 49, while the
expenditures for the eight months ending
July I. 1903, were $77,14s.59, making a total
of S,7H.61 in excess of the Expenditures for
1902. Giving the institution credit for the
amount In stOreroom at this time, So, 21S 81,
would leave the expenditures of Mr.. Byers
to the LIST of July. 1908, 81 426.10 more than
the expenditures in like period ending
July /, 1902. 1t is not due TO the good finan-
ciering of the present administration that
there is larger balance at this time than
there was in 1902, but II is due to the
generosity of the last Legislature in Civ
ing the institution 5000 more for mainte-
nance. and also to the fact that the per
capita which the institution gets for all
prisoners in excess of 800 is greater this
year than last year"

CROPS IN INDIANA.


Summary of Climate and Crop Re-
ports Received by Director Blythe.
W. T. Blythe, section director Indiana

gives the following summary of reports
from correspondents for week ending
July 20:
During the easterly passage of a moder-
ately deep eddy in the atmosphere across
Indiana and lower Michigan, Friday and
Friday night high southeastern. veering to
southwesterly. winds prevailed in all sec
tons of this State, and in the north half
of the State local thunderstorms, attended
by winds. damaging to crops and orchards.
and more or less rain, were reported in
many counties; light to copious showers fell
I'm the southwestern counties on the 18th
and 18th; otherwise, the daily mean temper
allure being low and the sky mostly clear.
threshing matured crops, but too cool and
for the most part, too dry for rapid growth
Wheat threshing and timothy haymak-
ing in all sections and finishing up the
clover harvest in the north section made
rapid progress. The yield of wheat in the
south section is almost universally very
light; in the central section II ranges from
very light to fair and in the north section
averages two-thirds to three-fourths of a
full crop The clover crop, nearly all of
which has been saved in the best condition,
is unusually heavy Alsike clover seed is
being hulled in places.
Timothy meadows are turning out fine
quality of hay generally, but the yield is
not large.
Cutting oats is finished in the south
section. nearing completion in the central.
and has begun in the northern counties.
The yield promises to be fair, but considera-
bly, below that of last year.
Corn is in all stages. in all sections,
from siking and tasseling down to very
small. 1t has good color, however. and
looks well generally, but on account of
continued low temperature, is growing
slowly Many fields of the largest corn in
the north-central and northern counties
suffered materially from the wind storms of
Friday night. Corn is also needing rain in
many places.
Potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco and gardens
are doing fairly well, but generally need
rain and higher temperature.
THE apple crop still promises to be light,
and the early ripe fruit is inferior in quail
ity Blackberries are abundant, but the
crop has been reduced by cool, dry
weather.

The contract for building the sixty-five-
mile connecting link for the Wabash be-
tween the West Virginia Central at Cum
berland and the Western Maryland at
Cherry Run was let on Monday by Ben
jamin A. Richman. chief counsel for the
Wabash in Maryland. The contract involves
about SIS, 900, including the tunneling of
Knobby mountain. Several bridges are to
be constructed across the Potomac river
The company has just ordered attorneys
to proceed at once for condemnation where
ever any trouble is experienced in securing
the right of way. Much of the right of
way has already been secured. Immense
yards will be established at Three-mile
alton. Regarding the rumor of the Wa
bash going into Washington, it is stated
that the management has given up all hopes
of securing the Chesapeake & Ohio canal as
a roadbed, and If the road ever goes into
Washington Ii will be over some other line.
