EXODUS FROM OLD FEDERAL BUILDING
 WELL UNDER WAY
Revenue Department in New Postoffice May Be Remod- eled-Postal Department
 Begins Move Saturday

All federal offices in Birming- ham will be housed in the new fed- eral building at Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street, north, and ready for business Monday morning, with the exception of the internal revenue department. Pending advices from Washington, John D. McNeel, in- ternal revenue collector, will hold his department in the old postoffice building.
 Quarters in the new federal build ing are unsatisfactory for the pur- poses of the internal revenue de- partment, according 10 MT McNeel, providing no cashier windows or pub lie reception rooms where agents can confer with persons having business with the department.

 Robert F. Perry. head of the secret service department bureau. is quar- tered in the new building, with of fees in the right wing. James J. Smith. assistant United States ds- trict attorney, also went into the new building yesterday. Other federal de- partments which moved into the Fifth avenue building yesterday are bureau of mines, army and navy recruiting service and the bureau of entomol ogy. all of which are located on the basement floor. The railway mail service moved several days ago.

 He referred to several insta lces in which votes had been sold and mentioned other corruptions in poli- ties. A large part of this is due to drunkenness and ignorance, he said.

 Desire For Authority
 He said there was spirit of Ge- sire for authority abroad, with a tendency to stifle education. and that it should be the purpose of the teachers to cultivate the spirit of vocational and practical education.
