Union Men Think He Will
 Be Fired. Tn Case Miller is Sustained, the Cues ton of a Strike Will Have to Be Considered by
 the Union.

Washington, Aug. 4.-tspeciaLl-The union men at the Government Printing Office continue confident that Miller will have to go. Public Printer Palmer will take up his case in a few days, and the outcome will be looked for with the ut most interest.
 Mir. Palmer will prosecute the inquiry in accordance with the rules of the civil service. and the accused will have ample opportunity to answer the charges and rebut the testimony that may be offered to sustain them. The rule provides that reasons for removal shall be given In writing, and the persons whose removal is sought shall have notice and be fur nished with a copy thereof and be al- lowed a reasonable time for personally answering the same in writing It is further provided that examinations of witnesses for any trial or hearing shall not be required except in the discretion of the officer authorized. to make the re- moval.
 It is not expected that MT. Palmer will ask Miller's accusers to present witnesses or that he will enter upon a formal hearing of the case. Testimony has been pre- sented by members of the local union in support of the charges, and Miller will have a reasonable time to make answer
 After examination and review of the

CASE OF MILLER WILL BE
 REVIEWED BY MIR. PALMER

case, e decision will be made by the Public Printer. If adverse to Miller. he will ask that the copies of the record be furnished to the Civil Service Commis- sion. That body has authority to review the case and to make recommendation that the judgment of the Public Printer be set aside and the accused be retained in office. Should such recommendation be made, 1t would doubtless be approved by the President. and an order issued for Miller's retention.
 That an adverse decision would be con- tested by Miller, there is no doubt. The exact character of the charges has not yet been made public, nor has Miller re- ceived a copy of them. The case against him has been submitted, and the union men are now patiently awaiting the re- ply of Miller and the subsequent action of the Public Printer. President Tatum and Secretary Dougherty of the Interna- tional Brotherhood. have left the city af- ter giving detailed instructions, to the ar bitration committee of the local union.
 If MT. Palmer's decision shoulds be fa- vorable to Miller, or If. after an adverse decision, the Civil Service Commission should disapprove 1t and recommend his retention, the union leaders will be called together to consider the new situation. There Is no disposition to act hastily, and. therefore. should Miller be retained there is not likely to be a strike until the matter is thoroughly considered by the executive committee of the Interna- tional Brotherhood. Union leaders, how ever, do not believe that contingency will arrive. being confident that the charges will be sustained. that the Public Printer will direct Miller's removal. and that his action will be approved by the Civil Ser vice Commission.
 It is said that after his case is disposed Of, Miller will bring charges against some of the leaders of the local union for interference with the management of the office, and subordinating the public inter- ests to those of their organization and it's individual members. R. H. Watkins

Nsrro Reaten With Bottle.

Probably the most exciting incident of the day was the emergence of a bloody negro from the wholesale liquor store of P. J. Loughlin & Co.,. shortly after noon.
 The negro was Noah Jackson and when he first made his appearance he was. as Hamlet said, Total gules." The native blackness of his poll was almost com pletely hidden by a coagulation of blood and his clothes added no little to his sanguinary sight.
 When Jackson came into the street he was supported by two negroes. He was seated upon a box and there he stated that he had without cause been brutally set upon and beaten by w. R. Walker, white man. employed by P. J. Loughlin & Co., He said MT. Walker had beaten him without cause. The man was almost paralyzed in his legs and his difficulty in getting into Loughlin's store was not half of the trouble he experienced in get ting out. He was helped out of the store by two negroes, one of them a we'll known hackman.
 Jackson was taken to the office of a physician where his wounds were dressed. It is thought he may recover. He said he had no part in the quarrel except to be beaten on the head and according to his story Mir. Walker is entirely In the wrong. He says a white man in the store with Mir. Walker watched the proceedings without interposing.
 The warrants sworn out created rather a smile among several citizens. A negro who had nearly bled to death appeared on the street. Against him, in a physi- clans office was served a warrant charg-

Nav Mean Radical Change.

A plan that may mean radical changes in the working of streets Is said tp have been discussed by Mayor V. B. Atkins and Chairman M. J. Meyer of the Street Committee.
 The plan, 1t is said. calls for the hiring of hands for working the streets to help the regular convicts. It Is said this will expedite matters and thus save enough money to pay for the hire of the extra hands.
 Alabama Street is nearly completed and in two months the committee will have another street to pick for treatment with gravel. This may be Church Street or Florence Street. the continuation of Ala bama Street in East Selma will probably be finished along with Alabama Street.
 It is said the street authorities hope to save money by shortening expenses on the work on the gravel pit and at the hoisting place as well as by having the streets in fit condition in an earlier time than had been contemplated.

ACCOUNTS OF SELMA
LOUIS BAMBERGER CONDUCTING
 AN EXAMINATION.
His Report Shows That Chief of Police Walters Has Paid in More Than Was Due
 the City.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Aug. f.
 A matter of unusual interest is the re- port made by Louis Bamberger. who was at the last session of the City Council elected an auditor to look over the ac- counts of the various officials of Selma. Mir. Bamberger has not completed all of his report, but two reports made today are worth the showing.
 MT. Bamberger is one of the finest &C., countants in the city and his reports are awaited with great interest.
 The auditors report on Chief of Police E. T. Walters's report for the six months beginning November 1 and ending April 30, are of interest because Mir. Bamber- ger shows that the Chief has paid the city 50 cents more than Is due. The total amount of fines collected by the Po- lice Department is $2,Oe3.50. and with ex- penses deducted, $194S.55 which is net. The total number of persons arrested was 424; total number discharged. 116; fines remitted, $290. 50; fines appealed, $40.
 The report of the Market Clerk shows that $50 had been collected from licenses, q, ,461 50 from stall rents. and 10 from the scales, a total of S1,7A.20.
 When it is realized that the new city buildings are to be paid for at the rate of 5000 a year and that the revenues therefor are to be gotten from the mar ket building the people of Selma should be consoled with the idea that in less than six months the market place pays more than half of the required sum. The sum of $1,000 Is to be paid for interest. and a like sum for a sinking fund and if the market stalls are to pay for all of the expense the city will have an easy time of 1t.

Gamlin sustained a slight flesh wound while the horse was more seriously hurt.
 It was some little time before 1t cou Id be learned just how the accident occurred. some thinking for awhile that .he shot came from an upstairs window. but part of the shell was found on the ground. which with the testimony of witnesses nearby who saw the smoke of the ex- ploding cartridge underneath the horse. told the story.
