PAYS OFF OLD DEBT.

That Benjamin Winchell is bringing
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific
Railway company out OF the slough
and making it a good paying PROPOSE
ton is evidenced by the. fact that on
June II, or Immediately thereafter, the
stockholders of the c. R. L & P. Rail-
way company win receive $1.sS per
share, which is the last payment on
the stockholders improvement loan -
part of which was made as far back as
1885.
The c. R. "a P. has issued the fol-
lowing statement in connection with the
payment Of the loan:
Among the deferred liabilities
showing on the balance sheet of the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company, as of June 80. 1904, is the
item:
=" Stockholders improvement loan,
81, 222, 941.'
The directors have determined to dis
charge this liability. The item consists
of $150,000 transferred by the board of
directors in 1885 from income account to
the credit of addition and improvement
account; $463, 900 similarly transferred
in 1885, and certain small unpaid bal
ances upon addition and improvement
bonds Nos. 1 to 4.
For the amount so transferred in
1885, $3.50, 900. the company in June, 1885,,
issued its improvement bond No. 5,
wherein it acknowledged itself to be in
debted $780, 900, which sum it promised
to pay twenty years ther eafter with
money, or with full shares of capital
stock, as the company should at the
time elect.
This bond was of like tenor with ad-
dition and improvement bonds Nos. l to
a., previously issued, aggregating $1,000,
900, all of which were paid by the COM
pany by the distribution to stockhold-
ers on July 1, 1898, of shares of capital
stock aggregating 10 per cent of the
then holdings of all stockholders, and
by the payment for the period from
July 1, 1898, to January 1, 1903, of a
special quarterly dividend of 4 per cent
on the capital stock then outstanding.
Distribution of the amount pro rata
among stockholders will be made on
and after June II, 1905. For the purpose
of these payments the transfer books
will close at p. m June 16, 1905, and
reopen at 10 a. m, July 3, 1867

NO RETRIEVE FOR SANTA FE.
Hearings VIII Proceed Despite Elk.
anliner's Withdrawal.

Washington, June 14=Attorney
General Moody Will see President
Roosevelt tomorrow in regard to the
prosecution of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad, and a final de-
cision will be reached regarding the
withdrawal of Messrs. Harmon and
Judson from the case.
When seen today regarding their
announced purpose to retire., Mr..
Moody reiterated that he would not
discuss it.
1t is authoritatively stated that so
far as the administrati On is concerned
it is under no embarrassment in con-
nection with the alleged connection of
Secretary Morton with the rebate
policy of the road. Mr.. Morton will
retire in three weeks and his successor
has been appointed.
The president will prosecute any
man, no matter who it is, it is stated,
if he has violated the law. Mr.. Nor
ton has insisted while in the cabinet
that there is absolutely no proof to
show he was guilty of any procedure
which can result in his prosecution.
Members of the interstate comm erce
commission have expressed the opin-
ion that the statute of limitations
cannot apply in the case of officials of
the Santa Fe, for the reason that the
last offenses were committed within
the three years prescribed by law.

NICE WORDS FOR BERRY.
Chief Engineer OF Union Pacific Has
Been Inspecting signal System.

AAAlGI ElA2AAACCE Oh OL1Ou Nus
Been Inspecting Signal System.
Cincinnati, June 14.-Chief Engi-
neer J. B. Berry, of the Union Pa
closing days of last week made a trip
of inspection of the signal system,
roadway and bridges of the Queen
and Crescent route, between this city
and Chattanooga, started on his
homeward trip yesterday morning,
Union Pacific private car No. 2, in
which he is travelling, being attached
to the Chicago train on the Big Four.
Mr.. Berry is one of the most promi-
nent railway civil engineers in the coun-
try, and his prominence has come to
him as the man selected personally
| by Edward H. Hartman when he
came into control of the Union Pacific
and foreSaW the many gigantic under
! takings that would be necessary in
engineering in the reha bilitation of
the line. The work on the feed or
pouch lines alone presented work for
the best of engineers but these were
handled easily, and Mr.. Berry found
the first great task in designing the
Lucien cutoff, across an arm of Great
Salt Lake, Utah. The work is a
trestle for a distance of nearly AZ
miles, and more than one expert engi-
neer had declared the task impossible.
1t has been accomplished, however,
and effects a great saving of time in
the operation of through freight and
passenger trains. Time saving con-
struction of double and second track
in the mountains also presented diff
cult problems, but many have been
surmounted and some are now under
way. On his trip Mr.. Berry was ac-
companied by H. G. Shaver, signal
engineer for the Union Pacific. The
1 Union Pacific is intending to equip
| 800 miles of the line with block sig
nails during this summer, and the
work presented problems that the
| officials considered might become less
/ difficult from an inspection of the
roadway and equipment of the Queen
and Crescent route system.

TELEPHONES ON TRAINS.
Union Pacific Railroad Announces Elk.
perfments at Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., June 1.-THE Union
Pacific will soon have in operation
over all it's lines a telephone system
for the operation of trains, and for the
transaction of other business.
The telephone system Will not take
the place of the telegraph, but will
be supplemental to it.
When the system is in successful
operation all trains will be equipped
with telephone instruments which can
be attached to the wires at any point
along the lines for immediate use in
case of accident or other emergency.
The company has been using the
telephone experimentally for two
years or more, using its telegraph
wires to carry telephone messages, and
it has found that they can be used to
advantage. 1t has been found to
work best for short distances, but by
means of relays it can be advan-
tageously worked over the whole
system.

place for both prisons.
A portion of the prisoners are at
