DISSENSION
In Ranks of Italian Society Over Expul-
sion of Member

There is dissension in the ranks of the
Italian society of this city over the ex-
pulsion of George Reale, chairman of the
executive committee and a prominent men,
Der of the society.
1t seems that Reale was charged with
working against the interests of the So
ciety by using his official position as chair
man of the executive committee to further
his own interests, which is covered by sec
ton of the bylaws of the society," At a
meeting of the society held on last Sun
day charges were formally preferred
against him, which resulted in his expui-
sion.
Reale claims that the charges are false.
and he and his friends are indignant over
the action OF the society, claiming that the
action was hasty, unwarranted and irreg-
ular
On the other hand, an anti-Reale facti IN
has been created, which is rejoicing over
the downfall of the expelled member, and
1t is said that a picnic was held a North
Birmingham park on Tuesday afternoon in
celebration of Reale's expulsion.
The Italian society is composed of the
leading Italians of the city, and was or
ganized for social and patriotic purposes

COLLECTOR BINGHAM
COMPLETES REPORT
Over Half Million Dollars Paid Into the
Revenue Department from the
Statecof Alabama.
P. o. Box 745

Five hundred and eight thousand two
hundred and eight-six dollars and eighty
four cents was paid into the office of j. a.
Bingham. collector of internal revenue for
Alabama, during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1883, breaking all previous records
for collections in this state
MIR. Bingham has Just completed his an
nual report, which shows some interesting
figures in comparison with previous col
lections.
From 1888 until 1895 the average yearly
collections in Alabama were about $4,000,
reaching SIS, 1883 in the last named year.
The subsequent reports show a steady in
crease from that year until the present
time, as follows: For 1885, $136, S17.3O; for
1897, $15S, 1885, for 1853, $2o1, 26O77 for 1889.
sos, 1864.
The enormous increase is accounted for
by the operation of the war revenue tax,
which became effective on July /, 1898, but
aside from the amount collected under that
law the report shows a heavy increase in
the regular collections due to the improved
conditions which are reflected in all lines
of trade.
Collector Biagham's report shows the COL
lections by months, the following figures
being the totals for the fiscal year:

Following secret meeting of the foun-
dry supplies manufacturers Of the United

MAN And WOMAN
KILLED BY TRAIN
JOHN Koran, ST., and Mrs. Booker
The Victims.
TRIED TO MAKE CROSSING
At Twenty fourth Street Behind an En-
CINE and Freight Car.
THE WOMAN HORRIBLY MANGLED
Her Head Was Crushed Into an I'm
recognizable Mass-She Was from
Gadsden and Came Here
Seeking Employment.
TRIED TO MAKE CROSSING
THE WOMAN HORRIBLY MANGLED

At O'Clock last night John Koran, Sr.
and a Mrs. Booker were run over by an
Alabama Great Southern freight ear at the
Twenty-fourth street crossing, and both
killed.
The woman's head was crushed into an
unacceptable mass and her body other
wise horribly mangled She died instantly.
One of Mr.. Horans legs was cut off and
his chest badly bruised. He was placed
in an ambulance and taken to St Vincent
hospital. where he died ABOUT two hours
later 1t seems that no one saw the accl-
dent except r. o. Vetchel the tlaSman
He stated last night that he saw the man
and woman coming from the Northslde,
and as the train had started across the
street he waved the red light as a dan
ger signal They attempted to run around
the end OF the car, anyway, and were run
over.
Switch engine No. III, in charge of En-
gineer Luther Young and Yard Foreman
Zen Archer, was pushing the freight cars
at the time of the accident. The train had
pulled across the street to the east side
and had started back when the acciden.

She Was HORRIBLY NIangled

ne pOiicS were EOliiGQ as QuiChiy %
possible and a telephone message was sent
for an ambulance. The mangled body Of
the woman was picked up and sent to
Warner & Smleys undertaking establish
ment, where it was prepared for burial
The whole top of the unfortunate woman's
head was crushed off, her brains being
scattered in every direction. One foot was
also mashed into shreds. Owing to the
mutilated condition of Mrs. Booker's body
it was some time before the remains could
be identified.
At the time of her death she wore tan
skirt and waist with a blue flannel front.
Her hair was comparatively short, and
on her head was a black hat trimmed in
white forget-me-not flowers. Later her
pocketbook was found and in it was ten
dollar bill, 25 cents in silver, a handker-
chief some lace and a note signed by Mrs.
Rowland, who keeps boarding house at
the corner of Eighteenth street and Fourth
avenue. From this note her Identification
was established. Mrs. Rowland was seen
and she said she wrote the note yesterday;
that Mrs. Booker had applied to her for a
room. and also wanted to do some work.
She also stated that Mrs. Booker was a
stranger in Birmingham, and was rooming
at the Grand Central in Twentieth street.
She had come here looking for work. She
was apparently about As years of age.
She Was from tiadsden
Officers went to the hotel mentioned and
found that Mrs. Booker had been occupy
ing room No. 81. This was thoroughly
searched. Attendants at the hotel said that
Mrs. Booker came here last Friday, claim
ing to be from Gadsden, and wanted en-
poyment as a bookkeeper or seamstress.
In her room was found an empty bottle,
on the label of which was printed the
name of a whisky dealer in Alfalfa. AS
that town is near Gadsden, it is supposed
that her story was correct.
Captain Donelson of the police force went
out to the Twenty-fourth street crossing,
and, after examining the ground, stated
that the two bodies were dragged about
forty feet. The hagman, r. o. Vitchel, and
Yard Foreman Ben Archer were arrested
and placed under bond, awaiting an in
vestigation.
About 1890 o'clock last night a telephone
message was received from st. Vincent's
hospital saying that Mr. Koran was dead

cabinet session. The order for court
martial probably will be made today
just prior to the cabinet meeting
Miles made rather unusual call upon
two members of the cabinet, Hay and
Long. He had just returned to the city

with reference to the Eagan case, ad-
hered to his original declaration that this
was not the time for him to act, if at all,
leaving the implication that if the COM

it would then be time for him to take
some steps.
! The war investigating commission to-
day stated that the amended statement
| Of Eagan would be made public and the
newspaper men were allowed access to
: it. Eagan has eliminated all the objec-
tionable language, and the phraseology
has been altered frequently. Eagan,
while referring to Miles as Senior gen
eral,' resents any assumption of Miles
superiority, and asserts he GIagam is as
good, as old and as experienced a soldier
as Miles.
He also criticized the latter's attack
on the beef industry as infamous. 1t is
believed SO far as the commission is con-
Colonel Gibson, distributing agent of
the National Relief association at San

day. Gibson said the canned corn beef

CENSUS IN NEW
POSSESSIONS

Washington, Jan. 17.-In addition to it's
added duties, it now seems probable that
the war department will have to super
wise the next census taking in the recent
ly acquired possessions of the United
States. The census bill as reported to the
house, makes no special provisions for
this branch of the work, but if the gen.
eral terms of the measure are not consid-
cred sufficient to cover this work an
amendment will probably be drafted. 1t
is contemplated that in the island of Cuba
only the census of the principal cities will
be taken and the population of the island
elected upon these returns. With Porto
Rico Guam, Hawaii and the Philippines
which are considered American territory,
an effort will be made to get the exact
figures on population homesteads, mort
cages, etc. 1t is expected this work can
be accomplished with great degree of
accuracy and the enumerators who are
assigned to Iloilo and the Sulu group will
doubtless find lively and interesting work
ahead Of them.
