INJURED WOMAN IS
 KNOWN IN THE CITY
MADELINE BANKS, LYING IN UNI CONSCIOUS CONDITION IN SYR- AcUsE, N. Y, HOSPITAL, IS RE- CALLED BY JUDGE FEAelN.

Information was obtained yesterday which may lead to the Identification of Madeline Banks, the white woman lying in an unconscious condition in St. Josephs hospital in Syracuse, N. Y. It is thought that she formerly worked in this city as soliciting agent for the Juvenile Court Record, weekly paper published in Chi for juvenile offenders.
 Judge Feagin received telegram yes terday morning from St. Josephs hospital in Syracuse asking if he knew anything of Madeline Banks, the woman whose identy the police have been trying to trace here for several days. The judge states that a woman named Banks came to see him several times during the spring in the interest of the Juvenile Courts Record and that he supposed she is the woman in the hospital in Syracuse. The woman fell from a street car there and her skull was fractured. She has been unconscious most of the time, but during rational moment she told the authorities that she knew Judge Fea- gin and to telegraph him.
 It seems that while she was here she told Judge Feagln she wrote articles fre- quently for the magazines, and she also told the authorities of the hospital that she was. a magazine writer. The acci- dent happened to her last week, and she has been in critical condition ever since Efforts have been made to find relatives of hers, but so far they have failed

LOCAL SCHOOL TAX HAS GOOD MAJORITY Vote Throughout the County
 Was Exceedingly Light RETURNS ARE INCOMPLETE Three-flths Majority Necessary, But Campaign Managers Estimate Fa-
 vorable Result Assured-Bond
 Issue Probably Carried.
RETURNS ARE INCOMPLETE

Local taxation for the public schools of Jefferson county carried at the special election yesterday by good majority The vote was exceedingly light, probably not over 15o0 votes being polled in the county, but the indications are that more than three-hfths of the voters who went to the polls cast their ballots in favor of the issue. A three-flfths majority is nec- essary to carry the measure.
 Apparently there was but little interest taken in the election. The voters were themselves as to whether or not they favored the issuance of bonds to the amount of s1OOOOO by the Board of Rev enue for the purpose of erecting a build ing to provide more room for the use of the county courts, and, it Is believed now that the bond issue also carried al the polls although Bessemer and the ru- ral districts voted heavily against 1t. In Birmingham a majority voted in favor of the bend issue
 By the adoption of local taxation, an extra assessent of 10 cents on the $10d of values Is to be made in Jefferson for a term of ten years, all of this amount gong to the public school fund. E. K. Campbell and Henry B. Gray. the mana gers of the campaign. expressed them- selves last night as being we'll pleased with the result of the special election.
 There was some misunderstanding yes- terday morning with reference to the sa- looms being closed. They remained open for several hours but upon instructions from Sheriff Andrew W. Burgin, after consultation with his attorney and the solicitor the saloons were closed until 6 o'clock in the evening, the time the polls closed.
 The following returns from the local taxation election were received last night at the sheriffs office:
