FEWER COMPLAINTS
 ABOUT TELEPHONES
SUPERINTENDENT WOODRUFF SAYS THAT SERVICE IN BIR- MlNGHAM IS BEING IMPROVED AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE.

The service of the Bell telephone sys- tenn is being improved as rapidly as pos sible in Birmingham, according to Sup erntendent F. l.. Woodruff of this dis trict. who was in Birmingham yesterday He stated that fewer complaints are being received now about the service and that the large cables, which were put out of service by the lightning during the sum mer, have been repaired.
 We are handlcaped now by the fact that every one in Birmingham moves on October l and that we have so many ap- plications to move telephones" said Mir. Woodruff. We had applications to move coo telephones on the first of October, which is twice as many in proportion to the number of telephones as we had to move in any other Alabama city
 Tt costs the company about s1O.OO0 an- nualy. to make these removals. as they are at our expense after subscriber has had a telephone for a year. It would require an immense force of linemen and workmen to make all of these changes in few days. We are also putting in several hundred new phones and have ap- plications for about 400 on file now. All this takes time and we are working as rapidly as possible. tn
 We would appreciate 1t if every one having complaint about the telephone service would come to us. We will rem edy the troubles as rapidly as Hes in our power.' %F

HOGAN IS AGAIN IN
 HANDS OF POLICE
YOUNG WHITE MAN WAS ARREST ED YESTERDAY ON A CHARGE OF FoRGERY-MAkEs STATE. MENT ABOUT CHARGES.

c. V. Hogan, the young man arrested iast triday on charge of embedding $45 rom G. W. Hopson & Son, the whole sale grocers on Morris avenue, is again in the tolls. He was arrested at 10:3O o'clock yesterday morning by Chief Wier on a charge of forgery. A check of s2O, bearing the signature of Hopson & Son, and cashed by J. J. Odum of the Manhat- tan saloon is the cause of the trouble. Hopson & Son claim they never made out the check, and brought about the second arrest yesterday. Hogan says his people Will reach here today and that he hopes to settle everything. He declares he Is victim of circumstances and that he IS innocent of any intent to do wrong.
 Hogan came here about eight weeks ago from Memphis. where he was en- ployed for a short while as bill clerk in a large establishment. He was accom- panied by his wife. who was raised in the same town with him, Chipley, Ga. They engaged board in fashionable house and Hogan procured employment as a sales man with Hopson & Son.
 According to Hogan's statement he gave a receipt for s45 to T. w. Allen & Co. of East Birmingham but does not know what became of the money he received He says he Is under the impression that he left It on the counter. This shortage brought about the first arrest on a charge of embezzlement. Bond was made in the sum of $50 and he was released the same day, last Friday, J. H. Long, local lumber man, going on his surety.
 The next day, Saturday, Hopson & Son notified the police that Hogan had at tempted to cash check for $2O at the : Armstrong Hat company An attempt was made to locate him Saturday night but he was not at his boarding house when the police called. The bondsman was notified yesterday of the additional charge and In the meantime 1t was learned that the check had been cashed by MT. Odum Hogan was located at 10 o'clock in the office of MT. Long and taken to the police station, where he was allowed to sit in the chiefs private office. Shortly after he reached the station his wife called to see him and arrangements were made to have her father. who is a wealthy man of Chipley, Ga, come to Birming. ham today. Hogan says he also expects his mother, a widow of considerable means. who also lived at Chipley.
 When seen in the chiefs office Hogan unreservedly told his story in a straight forward manner. He said he gave a receipt for the $45 but never had his hands on the money and made an imme- diate report of it to the office. He says the check was forged by man named Brooks, to whom lie was indebted. Brooks approached him Saturday, he says, ant told him he needed money. Hogan says he told him he could pay him about Tues day. It was then, Hogan says, the cred tor suggested that he write a check ant have him QIogan) cash It.. Hogan say. he expected to redeem the check yes terday, and declares he was never 1T trouble before

Eight Greeks and one negro constituted the flock of alleged Sunday law violaters that faced Judge Feagin in the police court yesterday. Five of the Greeks were fined and the negro Lymos Kennedy, was given the heaviest fine of the day, s25. He is the man who is said to have sold whisky to Policeman Shoot yester- day, and the court made another count in the indictment by charging him with selling whisky without a license.

 The Greeks were arrested Sunday Octo- ber [, in room on First avenue. They were charged with playing pool and cards. Accordingt, to the understanding of the court when arraigned last Monday they were to plead guilty yesterday if the cases were continued. Judge Feagin agreed and was surprised yesterday when a majority of them plead not guilty and had a lawyer to defend them Two of the men. however. Peter Belivous and Nick Maerakas, plead guilty to playing pool and were fined slO. After the testi- mony of the others we heard the follow ing fines were imposed:
 Peter Brown, who is said to have been operating the place for an other. $15; George Mortzekas, $10: Nick Mackris, $10 The charges against John Kontos and Gus Jebeles were dismissed. Jim Skarentza is said to have gone to Mobile. He was among those arrested in the room at the time.

NEGRO IS BURIED
 ALIVE UNDER DIRT
SIDE OF A DITCH cAvED IN ON JOHN GooLSBY, A NEGRO WHO WAS DIGGING IN A TRENCH ON TWENTY-flRsT STREET.

John Goolsby, negro who was en- gagged in digging a ditch on Twentieth street between Avenue F and Avenue G yesterday morning was literally buried alive by the earth on one side of the trench caving in on him. Before he could be eXtricated he was smothered to death. The body was turned over to the Peoples Undertaking company on Seventeenth street. The negro had a wife and several children who live on Avenue F.
 The accident occurred shortly after a gang of negroes went to work in the trench that had been started Saturday. They were in the employ of the plumbing establishment of k. Knauf x Company which had the contract to connect res idence with the main sewer at the corner of Twenty-flrst street and Avenue F.
 Goolsby was one of the first to start to work shortly after o'clock, and the other men were just getting ready to get into the ditch when there was a sudden giving away of one side of the opening. Before the negroes realized what had hap pened Goolsby was hid from sight. As fast as possible they pulled the earth away from his head, in order to allow him to breathe but 1t was too late He was dead when they reached him. Be- fore the dirt had been removed suffi- ciently to allow his body to be taken out of the trench J. G. Neal. manager of the plumbing house, and number of others were notified and reached the Efayar rai,, ( for, al, t.. earth simply gave way, not being com pact enough to stand undermining
 Goolsby came to Birmingham ten or twelve years ago with the drug firm of Doster-N -Northington. He served as porter for number of years and was we'll liked by his employers. He is said to have grown careless and they dismissed him.
