London. May 18-There have been no
new developments 50 far today in the

be the subject Of q statement in the
house Of commons.
Today 1t was said the resignation Of
Lord Fisher is probable. The Times to-
day mentions the fact that Lord Fish
er has not attended the admiralty for
the last two days, and the rumors aris-
ing from this Of the friction between
him and Mr. Churchill.
Editorially the Times refers to these
reports as confirming the impression
that the government, like the nation.
has reached the restless transitionary
stage.

ID CHECK RETURNS FOR TAX ON INCOMES Real Estate Men Asked to Furnish Data Showing
 Landlords

Tn order to check up the returns made by citizens of Alabama under the federal income tax laws. 1t Is stated that the government has instructed the offices of the local internal revenue collector to se- cure from every real estate man in Bir-
 mingham data showing the landlords of
 property leased by them during 1912. 1913. 1914 and 1915.
 This scheme will be worked throughout the country, it is stated. It is understood that the government officials have some suspicious about all parties who would be
 subject to the income tax turning in their names and others who might fail properly
 to turn in the size of their income. The income tax law provides that per- sons having incomes exceeding $20,OO0 and
 not more than s5o.Ooo shall pay tax of
 per cent; with an income of 5000 and not
 mere than $75,oo0, 2 per cent; exceeding
 s75, ,0oo and less than s1O0,OO0. 8 per cent. and on up to per cent for incomes ex- ceeding S5OO,000 In addition to this there is an income tax on corporations.
 During the fiscal year ending June 36, 1914, the corporation income tax of Ala bema was $156, 63s and the individual in- come tax of Alabama during the same
 year was s62. .102.S .S9. These returns the
 government evidently does not consider large enough and plans are therefore made by means of the real estate leases, tax assessment records and similar data
 to check up the income tax returns. Several local real estate firms, it is stated, already have been called upon for the data,

JEFFERSON COUNTY
 BANK ID bE OPENED
 SECOND OF AUGUST
Reorganization Plans Pro- gressing Satisfactorily. Jackson and Jones Max
 ing Many Friends

Organization of the Jefferson County bank by A. E. Jackson and associates Is progressing with entire satisfaction to all parties concerned and the affairs of the old Jefferson County Savings bank will be taken over and the doors of the in- stitution opened on August 2. according to a statement made yesterday by MT Jackson.
 J. l.. Hutton, president of the Mercan- tile National bank of Memphis. and one of the leading bankers In the south, who also is interested in the new bank here Is expected in Birmingham this week for a conference with MT. Jackson and asso. cates and soon thereafter 1t is expected formal announcement of the officers and board of directors of the institution will be made.
 It is generally understood now that MT. Jackson will become president and T. M Jones will become vice president of the institution. MT. Jackson has spent prac- tiCally all of his time at the banking rooms since his plans for the reorgan- ization were accepted by State Bank Ex- aminer Alex F. Walker two weeks ago. MT. Jones spends a large part of his time in the city also. MT. Jackson, fl Is said. intends moving his family from Decatur to Birmingham and making his home here, while MT. Jones will prob ably do the same.
 Both MT. Jackson, Mr. Jones. T. w. Wirt and others of the Decatur capital ists who have undertaken the reorganiza- tion of the defunct Jefferson County Savings bank. are making many friends In Birmingham, especially MT. Jackson and MT. Jones, as they are spending the larger part of their time here and come in contact with local people. The north Alabama men have been given a sincere welcome on all sides. Local bankers merchants and industrial leaders feel tha. the opening of the bank with all cred itors being paid In full and all depositors taken care of without the loss of penny. as are the plans of Mir Jackson. will mean as much or more for the Birming- ham district. especially at this time, than proba bly, any one thing that has occurred in years.

The kitchen has been completed, and mess shed con structed Excellent quarters have also been provided for the i3O horses and mules which belong to Battery c, from Fort Sam Houston.
 One of the interesting features of the camp is the field hospital. which is il, charge of Lieutenant Sanford. About 1E patients have been registered at the hos pital since the camp was established, but at present there Is not a single patient fin the hospital Those who have been in the hospital were there for treatment for minor injuries and were discharged after a shcrt stay.

 An odd looking gun which stands on the left side of the main street at Camp Morgan has attracted much attention on the part of visitors to the camp and many questions concerning it are asked. The gun was captured by Battery c during the Boxer uprising at Picking, China, in 1900
