Colonel Riche, engineer in charge of th Galveston district work. Is here conferring with the Senate and House Committees In reference to Tsxas projects. A Senate subcommittee had up the Trinity and Brasos Rivers projects yesterday, and although Colonel Riohey Indorsed both and declared the Trinity project was feasible, the committee demonstrated a -strong; spirit of opposition, and Representatives Beat I and Henry Were apprehensive of either an unfavorable report or reduced appropriations.

Th oonsidsratlon of th bill was completed by the committee, but on account ef the necessity of gathering Information relating to some of th change th bill was withheld from th Senate. Th amendment regarding fourth class postmasters was adopted a 'a result of suggestion by Senator Brlstow of Kansas, although his original provision was much modified.

He attached to his veto opinion from Attorney General Looney holding the act unconstitutional on four different grounds, tlr.

Looney holds that It seeks to consolidate parallel or con necting lines. The House has set next Tuesday at o'clock for the consideration of the Gov ernor's veto of the consolidation bllL Rep resents, tlr Williams of McLennan an nounce that ha will study closely the grounds of the Governor for vetoing the bill and of the Attorney General for hold ing It unconstitutional. The message follows The Governor's Message. To the House of Representatives House bill No. was received In the Governor's office on the th day of Feb ruary, ltU.

Tbe Indorsements on this bill do not show the vote by which it passed the House and Senate. It Is pre sumed, therefore, that there was either no opposition to Its passage or else It parsed bv a viva voce vote without roll call. This bill is entitled an act to authorise the Missouri. Kanaas and Texas Railway Company of Texas to lease for a terra ei not less than 3S years the railroads of companies named therein. One of these railroads, the Texss Central, runs from Waco.

McLennan County, westward to Rotan. In Fisher County. Another runs from Egan. in Johnson County, to Cleburne. In the same county: another runs from Uentson, In Grayson County, to Honnam.

One includes short mileage from the Oklahoma and Texas State line to the town of Wellington, In Collingsworth County. Benefit Merely to Railroads.

The railroad companies now proposed to be merged under the management and control of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railway Company of Texas by the sanc tion of the Legislature. I think, indisputably belong to and sure now controlled by this railway system. Eight years of service on the Railroad Commission of Texas led to the conclusion that the principal beneflt flowing from such conseJIAa. tions was to the managers and owners of the railway property, barring the Instance where the consolidation bill required the construction of new mileage prior to the act taking effect.

Th principal benefit to tbe company owning these several pieces of railway property Ilea mainly in the convenience and economy of bookkeeping, and. In some cases, the convenience in operation. One Benefit for Ksty. On April It, 1191, the Governor approved Senate bill No. JS5 (see pages 130-124, Special Laws of the Twenty-second Legislature).

The act provided for the consolidation of the following lines of railway: Denlson and Pacific Railway Denlson' to Whites boro, 25 miles. Gainesville, Henrietta and Western Railway Whltesboro to Henrietta, II miles. Denlson and Southeastern Railway Denlson to Mlneola. 101 miles. Dallas snd Greenville Railway Dallas to Greenville.

62 miles. Sherman, Denlson and Dallas Railway Denlson to Sherman, 11 miles. Delias and Wichita Railway Dallas to Denton, It miles. Dallas and Waco Railway Dallas to Hnisboro, miles. Taylor.

Bastrop and Houston Ball way-Fort Worth to Boggy Tank, 2M miles. Taylor. Bastrop and Houston Bail way Lock hart to San Marcos and from Echo to Bel ton, 22 miles. Trinity and Sabine Valley Railway-Trinity to Colmesnell, IT miles. Making a total of TZ1 miles consolidated by Senate bill No.

296. as above stated. This bill also included in said consolidated mileage the leased track of II miles of the Texas and Pacific track which was leased by the Missouri. Kansas and Texas, from Whltesboro to Fort Worth, and over which it runs its trains. In Conflict With Constitution.

The bonds outstanding on these several lines of railway thus merged by Senate bill No. 2M, according to my understanding, are still held in the treasury of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway, and are mortgaged to secure bonds belonging to the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railway system, and are separata charges against said properties owned and mortgaged as above stated. The provisions of said Senate bill No. 1M, approved on April II, 1IL are such as to giro to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company, a foreign corporation, the ownership or control over the stock Issued on the Missouri.

Kansas and Texas Railway Company of Texas, subsequently organised in pursuaaoe of said act. This' provision, I believe, is In conflict with section I of artlcJe 10 of the Constitution, of Texas, which prohibits a foreign corporation to own and control the stock of railroad companies chartered under the laws of the Stat of Texas. Senate bm No. 231 passed the Legislature In lit), and was approved May 17. Ut.

It authorised the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railway Company of Texas to buy or lease the Sherman. Shreveport and Southern Railway, running from McKlnaey, la Collin County, to Jefferson, in Marion County, comprising; 1U miles (see pages 204-1 19. General Laws of the Twenty-sixth Legislature). In 102 the Legislature passed two other consolidation acta for the benefit of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail- way company or Texas.

They were Senate bills Nos. ti and ST, and were approved February 21 and 101, respec tively. Senate bill' No. II authorised the purchase of the Denlson and Wichita valley Railway, running; from the Ked River to Denlson, a distance of 40 miles; Senate bill No. it authorised the purchase by the Missouri, Kaasaa and Texas Railway Company of Texas of the Granger, Georgetown, Austin and San1 Antonio Railway, a lino then under construction from Granger, in Williamson County, to Austin.

KATY CONSOLIDATION SEEMS TO BE DOOMED (Continued from Page One.) 5 of the" Attorney General's Deoartment raising four constitutional objections, one of which was that the lines sought to be merged were parallel and competing lines. In this view, the Governor did not concur, but In the other three he made no dissent Action en the vein waa noatnoned until o'clock next- Tuesday, when the at tempt may be made to pass It despite: the Governor's objections.

i Kepresentative Williams or. waco, wno engineered the bill to final passage, is: looking Into the matter and expresses the opinion that the finding of the Attorney Oeneral la wrong and not based upon the law governing such cases. He takes the further view that the Governor's objection to the Katy being' a foreis-n corooration Is not well taken- for it is a Stats corporation. Its charter being on file In the Secretary of State's office. He further excepts to the Governor's statement that the books of the company show a deficit, saying that that Is nothing new to any one conversant with ths financial conditions of that system, but that fact has been shown by Its report to the Railroad Commission.

Expression by Williams. 'The Governor admits," says Mr. Wil liams, "that under the consolidation of these short lines the company eould operate much more cheaply, and It strikes me as bad logtc to criticise the company for having a deficit and at the same time force them to operate at a greater expense then Is necessary and refuse them the relief which he admits is given in the bill." If the attempt la made to pass the bill over the veto, it will require votes In the House and tl In ths Senate. It la doubtful If they can be secured. True, the bill passed with but slight opposition, but there are many members who voted for It who will be chary about going counter to the Governor.

Furthermore, there are many Proa In the House snd Senate who supported the measure who will be slow to go against ths opposition of the Attorney General. Fear for Other Measures. These are matters that are being talked and to one whose business tt la to listen and say nothing, It looks vary much like the Katy as well as other consolidation measures, save and except the Houston and Tsxas Central, are doomed so far as this Legislature Is concerned. The last consolidation measure to be passed ever the Governor's veto was the Santa Fa which was railroaded through the Legislature during the Thirtieth session, when Campbell was Gov ernor. One preceding it was ths south ern Pacific merger In 1898, which was passed over the veto of Governor Skyers.

However, the same conditions do not prevail at this time, and It is hardly expected that the friends of the Katy merger win be as successful In passing tbe bill over the Governor's veto ss was the cast) In the two instances mentioned.

Kennedy's liquor bill wss passed finally without any further argument or attempts at amendment. Jt will now go to Senate, where It will have to run the gauntlet.
