In Silver Spring Indiana on May 4 trustees of the Southern Indiana Insane Asylum demanded resignations of executive staff including Dr. John Glover and Dr. S. K. Womas, with Miss Wilson the bookkeeper also stepping down. Board cites harmony as motive, though Governor Durbin is viewed by some as shaping the move to strengthen partisan leverage.

Southern Indiana officials say the French Link extension will take more than a year to plate. The Evansville extension starts from Indiana Springs, twenty two miles long but difficult due to rough country. Traveling engineer Enos Humphrey returns to Washington. Conductor James Farrell of the B and O S W injures a leg slipping on iron at Mitchell and hopes to recover soon. J F Cassell and the Southern Indiana surveying corps head to Terre Haute after White River surveys and final line work, with Barr township farmer M N Wilson joining. They expect the road to follow the current grade about three miles east of Washington.
