Two new freight trains were put on the
schedule of the Mobile division of the
Southern railway Sunday. which Is ex-
pected to greatly increase the business
of the division. The tonnage of the Mo-
bile division Of the Southern railway IS
the largest at this time of the year than
it has ever been before in the history
Of the division.
Tho business of the division has in
creased to such an extent that every en-
CINE in service is at work. There are no
idle railroad men and every car that is
obtainable is being handled. With. the
addition to the two new freight trains
which were yesterday put on the sched-
ule the business of the division will be
Increased to much larger proportions.
One of the new trains put on will be
known as the Blocton mines train and
which will make daily trips from Wilton
to Blocton and return. The other train
will be known as the Gurnee Junction
train. The coal business Of the mines
around Blocton and Gurnee Junction has
Increased to such an extent that the put
ting on Of these two trains were neces-
sary.

After being sentenced to 20 years
in San Quentin prison for highway
robbery. Frederick Hoffman. who
now has completed two years Of his
long sentence. has perfected a ma
chine which promises to efYectually
prevent the raising and forging OF
checks and false identifications.
Not content with the routine of
prison life. the man whose inventive
genius has astounded the world put
in every hour in pondering over
plans for his machine. Every night
when supper had been served and the
convicts returned to their cells to
pass a few hours as suited their

and wooden model finally was con-

was obtained from Warden Hoyle to
apply for q patent, and by means OF
