 The most glaring violation not oniy of law, but of the regulations tha' should govern the work of the omce' Is the conduct of handbook on the races within the very walls or tne government institution by printing or ice employees.
 There is on the rolls today a proot- reader who got his place through po- litical pull and who professes 10 pc beyond the power of the Civil SerVice law. Tus man secured his transfer from one division to another until ne found a place where he could worR when and how he pleased. This man and the son of one of the influential officials of the printing office ana an other printer are operating hano- book. No secret Is made of the vlsits of the representatives of this trio to the printers at their cases for the pui- pose of soliciting bets, and especiaiy around pay days the exchange or mon ey between the employees and these printing office bookmakers IS notice- able.
 The scandal in the printing oInce growing out of the awarding of this contract has gone so far that there IS now gossip to the effect that the Lans- ton stock may be purchased by the Mergenthaler people in order to close the incident. The fight for govern ment work between the two concerns has been most bitter. Behind 1t all IS the struggle for the control of the pat ronage of the printing office and the immense supplies 1t annually requires The Lanston people are openly adVo- eating the retention of Public Printer Palmer; the Mergenthaler people are understood to be friendly to MT.

New Schedule Announced.

The southern Railway announced a change in schedule effective July 2d, which will give four through trains be- tween Birmingham and Atlanta. Two additional trans are to be put on be- tween the two terminals mentioned to relieve present regular trains, so that the through trains will be required to make only seven stops between the two cities and will reduce the running time from five and d half to six hours down to five hours. -.-.-
 The competition of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad is believed to have something to do with the new schedule and the operation of more trains and faster schedule. The accommodation train heretofore operated between Bir- mngham and Anniston will be eNtend- ed to Heflin. Birmingham will now have six daily trains to and from At lanta over the Southern and Seaboard lines.

HOBSON'S INTERVIEW
ISSUES IN CONGRESSIONAL RACE
 AS HE SEES THEM.
Editor Rufus N. Rhodes Quite HI et BirminGham-Man Fined Tor Hanging Dog-Dcath
 of Mrs. Broom.

Birmingham, July l1.-(SpeciaL)- Captain Richmond Hobson. who IS d candidate for Congress from the Slxth Alabama District, was in Birmingham today en route from Gulfport. Miss.' where he delivered a lecture last night. While here he said that he intendeo to return in August when he would make his full arrangements for the Congressional campaign. When told that 1t was generally understood that there were four candidates in the held' including himself and Congressman John H. Bankhead, he said that that information had been imparted to him, but that 1t did not cause him any alarm. He said that it was intended to have a solid vote among the old men for Congressman Bankhead and then divide the young mems vote between the other candidates. making it. cer- tainty. The following statement was given out by Captain Hobson:
 Concerning the interview in which that he now stands for State and na- tional regulations of the railroads, there Is little to be said
 Tt will be vain to try to fool the people any longer. They have suf- fered too much and in the coming cam paign the issue will be plain to all.
 Whether in Alabama we are going to have a government of the people, by the people, for the people or gov ernment Of the railroads, by the rail- roads, for the railroads.
 ITO this fundamental State issue will be joined a great moral issue, now stirring the nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific; whether public offices are to be conducted as a public trust or for private gain.
 There will be no escape from these issues-smooth words. pretences, de- ception, corruption will all be in vain.
 "We are approaching one of those elections that come from time to time when a virtuous people are aroused. All the arts of the trickster and ring politician must fail. The result can be but one way and 1t will vindicate the capacity of the people of Alabama for self-goyernment."
