HAS PLENTY OF BINDERS.
Public Printer Says Statements to Con-
trary Are Misleading.

Replying to a report that he was about
to reinstate number Of bookbinders
whose services were dispensed with April
80 and May 27. 1907. because Of lack Of
work. the public printer said today that
there was absolutely no foundation for anv
such statement.
The fact is, the public printer said, the
action of Congress cutting off something
like million volumes of congressional
printing reduced the work to such a point
that the annual reports from the depart
ments do not more than fill the gap suffi-
GENTLY to keep busy the present force in
the bindery.
The public printer said that he had been
informed that the bookbnders whose sery-
ices had been dispensed with had been mis-
led by statements made to the effect that
before the close of the fiscal year 19O6-l9
he would be forced to reinstaue bookbinders
to get out on time tle incoming reports
from the departments.
THE fact is said the public printer
today, I regret to state that there Is
not the slightest prospect for the rein
statement of any bookbinders, save to
fill vacancies caused by death or resig-
nation, and 1t were well that the truth
be known. The present force of book
binders Is ample to handle the work
coming in from the departments and to
bind the publications ordered by the last
Congress"

is said to have caused considerable commo-
ton In the proofreading division. The
trouble Is said to have started recently
when two proofreaders, w. A. Pfeffer and
w. F. Dorsey. were each fined $3425 for an
error made in a publication fr the bureau OF
education. 1t Is said the word cemetery
instead of seminary appeared in proof
and was passed by Mr.. Dorsey. Later the
word slipped through the hands of Mr.. Pfef-
fer. and the word continued to the press
room. There the wrong word was mis-
printed and later the finished work was
sent out to the bureau Of education. The
mistake was discovered and the work re-
turned.
It was further stated that in correcting
the errors several pages of the books in
which the word appeared were torn out
and the loss resulting therefrom was S6S. so
This amount was divided equally between
the two men.
Three other cases are on record. Mr.
Baker was obi ged to pay SO for hurried
ly stamping the wrong mark upon copy
which later went to the press and came
out in the wrong style of type.
AS a result of these fines meeting of the
proofreauers was held in the half-hour
lunch time several days ago which is said
to have been attended by about one hun
dred employees of the proof division. At
the meeting a committee, consisting of J..

MONTGOMERY. Ala. July 9.-The ad-
journed or July session of the legislature
opened today the reading Of the message Of
the governor taking up most Of the time Of
the first session. The fact that the gov
ernor has withdrawn opposition to the re-
peal of the tax on foreign money loans,
and there being no objection on the part
Of the administration to the election of
John R. Bankhead to succeed Senator Nor
gan, deceased, leads to the conclusion that
the session will be brief.
While the election of Bankhead will not
take place until next Tuesday, the two
houses will caucus tonight The result will
be final, as there are only two men in the
assembly other than democrats. There Is
practically no opposition to Bankhead

Gov. Conner complained about the holding

The message urged biennial sessions Of

quite familiar. He also urges the passage
Of an anti-lobby bill. Gov. Conner Endorsed

OF John j. Strain. chief of the United States
immigration officers. DR.. John E. Jones
United States consul at Winnipeg, has in
ferested himself in Strains disappearance
ana mas invoked the aid of the police in
eHorts TO find him. Strain, who Is forty-
nve years Of age. is a native of Ireland and
ne was formerly a crossing policeman in
this city. He served in the army al a
member of the Roosevelt Rough Riders,
coming to this city later and obtaining an
appointment as crossing policeman. He
lived at 23 10th street southeast prior tn
his marriage. Later he lived at 37O7 18th
street Brookland. During the three wears
he was connected with the police depa rt
ment he did duty at 9th and F streets
Depressed by Wife's Death.
During the latter part of last year he took
a civil service examination for the position
OF chief immigration inspector, passed and
was appointed. He resigned his position as
crossing policeman the last of January and
went to Winnipeg His wife, who was Miss
Mary Boyce, went with him to WINNINGS.
She died in May and Strain soon showed
signs Of dependency, 1t Is reported. Strain
received his pay check for 5000 July 4 and

been transferred to Niagara. N. Y, but his
transfer order had not reached him at the
time he disappeared.

1T May NOT PROCEED
TRIAL OF HYDE-DIMoND-BE
SCHNEIDER LAND CASES.
Lack of Funds Ascribed as the Cause
Attorney General to Render
Opinion.

The observation-disclosures land
fraud cases set for trial October 81 next
will probably not proceed unless the At
torney General should arrive at a decision
that the necessary expenses of the trial
may De paid from the general appropria-
t1rn for maintenance Of federal courts.
Congress at its recent session made pro-
vision in the District appropriation bill
allowing only $4,000 for the payment of
United States witnesses summoned by the
District Supreme Court.
It will probably be urged that Congress
never intended that the District of Co.
lumbia should bear half the expense Incl
dent to a trial of such national Importance
as the land fraud cases. and 1t is thought
likely such may influence the Department
of Justice to allow the expenses to be paid
from the general appropriation.
An attorney familiar with the situation Of
the appropriations today said:
"Heretofre-that Is, prior to July !, 1907
