INTEREST HERE IN HARTMAN RUMORS Understood He Is Now Alter
 the Seaboard WHAT THE CHANGE MEANS Would Give the Railroad Wizard an Outlet to the Atlantic With
 Exceptional Terminal
 Facilities.
THE CHANGE MEANS

The information contained in the washington Post of yesterday to the effect that Thomas F. Ryan is work Ing In harmony with E. H. Hartman to the end that the railroad "wIzard" may get control of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, has caused mora easstr In railroad circles than any other story recently published.
 Local railroad officials believe. with the Washington Post that there ts raging at the present time a strenuous though quiet fight for the possession of the seaboard, this belief being accen- tnated by the fact that John Slxelton Williams was recently on a southern tour or inspection. and because Harri- man, at the present time is in Atlanta. It is pointed out. too, that President Harahan of the Illinois central Itor riman's property, was recently in Bir- mlngham, and that while he made no statement for publication, his actions intimated that there was something of moment pending.
 MT Williams who Is also said to be seeking to regain control of the road when in Birmingham recently said:
 NO arrangements have been made for the re-orga nization of the Seaboard. The road is prospering under the suner- vision of receivers, and it's 1908 earn ings were greater than the earnings of lsof. While the financial strength of the company is increasing each day. have no means of predicting the date of reorganization. I cannot tell whether such move will occur in the imme- dlate future, or whether in the course of a number of years"
 Local officials agree that the ac- quisition of the Seaboard by Hartman would be logical step on the part of the wizard" The seaboard. in the very h cart of the freight business of the south, and with it's possible connection with the Illinois Central at Bfrming- ham could be made a direct line for freight from the west to Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York over the Pennsylvania lines, and to Norfolk direct over its own road bed The ac- quisition of the Seaboard would give to Hartman that which he has long desired, direct outlet fos freight to the Atlantic seaboard a business plum which the Central of Georgia furnishes in part only.
 The Washington story caused spirited gossip in railroad circles throughout the day. It was wondered if Harri- man was endeavoring to organize a great system of southern lines. He controls at the present time, the Illi- nois Central and the Central of Geor- gia. and it has been hinted for some time that he is desirous of becoming possessed also of the Frisco, especially if the Frisco and the Rock Island carry out their rumored plans of being oper- ated under separate and distinct man. agements.

WHAT THE AMMAN
 MOVEMENT MEANS

The south will swing into line with one of the greatest moves of modern times February 1918, when the first gen. eral convention of the Laymen's Mission ary movement of the Presbyterian church in the United States will be held in Bir- mingham.
 It is a convention of business men who are to discuss in a practical way the problem of the conquest of the earth for Christ. and who will endeavor to esd- mate what proportion of this work may be undertaken by the laymen of the diff ferent denominations in the south and what share of expense and effort should be assumed by the laymen of the Presby- terian church in the southern states of America.
 The Laymens Missionary movement was launched in the city of New York in November, 1906, and barely six months later 30 Presbyterian business men and minister's met in Birmingham and or panized the first denominational move ment as auxiliary to the grand under taking It is. therefore. eminently httlng that the first general convention or the movement on the part of the laymen or the Presbyterian church should be held in the city of its birth.
 The Southeastern Tariff association has recognized the importance of the conven- tion by making a low rate-virtually once fare plus 25 cents-from all point In the southern states, and Birmingham Is pre- narinp to receive and entertain delegates and visitors with that hospitality which has made her famous as a convention city.
 Governor Glenn of North Carolina will preside.
 The sienihcance of the convention and it's news value is much greater than its name would indicate. Leaders of the Lay men,s movement in the United States and Canada. including J. Campbell White, the general secretary, will be present and take an active part. Business men or international reputation will make ad- dresses and notable missionaries and phy- sicians who have wrestled with darkness and disease in the outer lands Of earth will narrate their experiences and add their notes of inspiration to the occasion. In fact, it will be gathering of men who have "done things" and speak and advise by authority of achievement. The work of the convention will be followed with solicitous interest all over Christian dom. It is to be an historical occasion and 1t will make more history.

WHITE GIBSON PRESIDING

 Attending Conference.

During the absence of Judge N. B. Fea- gin, who is attending a conference at the White House in Washington, White Gibson, one of the best known of the younger members of the Birmingham Bar association. is in charge of matters in the police court.
 When MT. Gibson opened court yester- day morning a docket of over 60 cases was spread before him. Most of the cases were of minor importance, the docket being an accumulation of Sat urdays and Sundays arrests, but Mt. Gibson disposed of the docket with dis patch and Is well up with the work
 Upon a personal invitation from Presi- dent Roosevelt Judge Feagin is in Wash ington to attend a conference at which 1t is proposed to devise means or plans looking toward the care of the destitute and needy children of the United States. Judge Feagin will be out of the city for several days.

TELLS OF PROPOSED
 WORK IN ALABAMA

Edgar l.. Clarkson private secretary to Congressman Hobson, in a personal letter to a friend in Birmingham, writes as follows concerning matters of interest to Alabama:
 "The resolution introduced by Congress man Hobson, providing for a survey of the Mulberry and Locust forks of the Warrior river. will, very probably, be in- cluded in the rivers and harbors bill at this session of the congress.
 'Congressman Taylor, the Alabama member of the rivers and harbors com- mittee. is giving the bill his enthusiastic support, and with the combined efforts of MT. Taylor and Captain Hobson, it is generally believed that the bill will meet tain few new matters except those al- ready authorized.
 "The resolution provides for a survey of the Locust fork from the junction of the Locust and Mulberry up the Locust fork to the mouth of the Five Mile creek in northwest Jefferson county, and up the Mulberry fork to it's Junction with the Sipsey in Walker county.
 Should that survey prove that these streams are suitable for Improvement, and that they can be made navigable, and 1t Is believed that the survey will so develop. 1t will mean the opening up of a section even richer in coal deposits than that already tapped by the present con- templated river Improvements. It will mean the continued development of the water sources in the mineral district of Alabama, and the wider development of Tuscaloosa, Jefferson and Walker coun- ties. It will mean that the engineering forces in the locality of these counties will be continued indefinitely at work. and that they will be enlarged. The resolution means further the spending of greater sums by the government in section now reaping great benefits from this source'

Judge Altman of Tuscumbia and John Eyster of Decatur. will leave seme time today The hearing will probably begin tomorrow, although the attorneys will begin their work just as soon as they hit the capital. Judge Hundley Is already in Washington.
 The object of those opposing the confir- nation is to prevent any action until after adjournment In this case they believe they can easily prevail upon Judge Taft to make different appointment. How ever, Judge Hundley's friends are confi- dent that no evidence not already argued can be brought against him, and that he will receive the support of both Alabama senators.
 With so many lawyers out of Birming- ham," said Col. T. G. Bush laughingly at the Terminal station yesterday, "Birming ham people may be able to get little justice"
