MISS BLAIR EXPLAINS.
Says Reports of Her Skipping Mir.
 Jacobs Did Her Injustice.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 ''The fingered Young Lady" displayed in large headlines In your issue of Thursday, feels that she has not received justice In the notice given of the un- pleasant affair. She labors for a support, and coming to her place in the Florence hotel about 7:30 a. m. she found her writing machine had been taken. ''Whither she knew not, nor by whom" She was told that MT. Jacobs had been there the night before. After going to his reported place of business and to the Thompson house. where she was told he might be found. and not finding him, she returned to her place. Calling a police man to her aid about a. m. the officer returned about 10 a. m. with the machine. which he found at the Metropolitan ho- tel. About p. m. MT. Jacobs with a witness came to her office and used to her language not at all respectful. She Is alone In the world, without any one to resent wrong or insults to her. and smarting under his insults. she threw feather dGster at him. Sho did not slap him. but his witness. who seized her, received slap. Jacobs raised his cane if to strike her. He did not use the machine in the office. as Is to be inferred from the statement in The Age-Herald but took it to the Metropolitan. The young lady feels that she has .een in- jured by the published statement.

truly life-like as 1t would have been pos sible to have had them. he story of the race Is told In a thorough manner and had considerable action in 1t.
 The recitation of this act in which the race is called required considerable talent and much work. But Miss Tucker re- sponded in a dramatic manner to those requirements, and the audience loudly applauded her effort
 The other acts of Miss Tucker were all pleasing and her work will be remem- bered by all present.
 Miss Girods singing brought forth much applause. Her songs were well rendered and she was simply given an ovation. The gentlemen assisting her all attracted attention.
 Charles w. Milton said. in his parody on pictures artists could not paint that there was one picture of "a gag that is new" no artist could put on canvas. If he had sought to tell of the gag he of fered he could have used no better words. It is barely possible that he Is come dian, but the existence of that possibility was not discovered last night
 The police in their raiding scenes caused the house to simply resound throughout with the laughter of those present. A "swell'' gambling house and a negro crap game were produced.
 All in all, the benefit was a success.

BEAUREGARD C. HALL
 FOUND NOT GUILTY
The Guntersville School Teacher Acquitted on Charge of
 Criminal Assault

Beauregard c. Hall, the Guntersville school teacher who was charged with criminal assault on young girl who was a pupil at his school, has been acquitted by the jury. He was brought to Bir- mingham for safe keeping after the trial, as there Is charge of seduction against him.
 The trial began at Guntersvie Satur- day night and ended Wednesday.
 There were fifty-fve witnesses sum- moned in the case" said Hall yesterday to an Age-Herald reporter, but only about twenty were put on the stand. The girl testified against me, but as I ex- pected I was acquitted. When I was acquitted the judge first made my bond in this new case g. .50O He after wards raised it to s5 000 but I decided not to give a bond at present, although could easily have done so. The girl was IA years old, but the evidence in the trial showed that the family records of her age had been changed so as to make her out as 13. The doctor testified on the trial that the girl showed no marks of any violence"
 The alleged crime for which Hall was tried was said to have occurred on Feb- ruary 12. It was said that he had in- duced the girl, who was one of his pu- pills, to leave the school house and go to a nearby spring, where the assault was said to have occurred.
 There was great excitement at the time, and threats of lynching were made. Hall was brought to the Jefferson County jail for safe keeping. a company of sol diers being sent from Birmingham to es- cort him here.
 Before the arrival of the military the preliminary trial was begun, and while it was going on the mob broke into the office and seized the prisoner and started to hang him to a telegraph pole. No one seemed to be leader, and while the mob was hesitating the sheriff and his depu- ties rushed in and recaptured the prison er The military arrived shortly after wards and he was taken to Birming- ham.

AMUSE ENTS.

The entertainment for the benefit of the Birmingham Police Relief Association was given at the Jefferson Theatre last night and proved to be thorough suc- cess in every way. The audience was very large and showed appreciation of the efforts of the officers
 Miss Eugena Livingston Tucker proved her right to the title of a monologistic entertainer. The latter word Is used ad- visedly for her work Is such that she merits it.
 No fowery language is necessary to express the impression she created, and to make use of such in writing of her work would have the effect of detracting from the praise 1t merits.
 For that reason the one word-enter- tainer-is used to describe Miss Tucker. Her work pleased the many persons pres ent-caused them to mediate to cry and to laugh. What more could be asked of any stage artist?
 Probably the best scene presented dur ing the evening by Miss Tucker was the third act of "The Generals Last Victory" This dramatic story was written by J. J. EaKlnS.

 W|LEBE NECESSARY Result lh Jefferson County is
 Still Doubtful
BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY
Republicans Say the Last Three Beats Heard From Will Affect the Dem- ocratio Majority-Chairma
 Thach Denies 1t.

The status of the constitutional cleo tion held in this county last Monday re- mains in doubt, but it will be definitely decided today when the official count IS made. The vote for and against the holding of a constit utional convention was close and whichever way 1t goes the majority will probably not exceed 200, If 1t reaches that figure. From the pres ent indications it appears that the con vention carried tho county by less than 15o majority, but the Republicans still claim a majority against the convention and for their ticket
 Thursday night the opposition to the convention was claiming that Partridge, Williams and Mecls had given a majority of ITO against the convention, which was more than sufficient to offset the 136 ma jority shown for the convention by the returns that had been made to the sheriff's office. Chairman Thach of the Democratic executive committee, stated yesterday that Williams and Partridge had both given small majorities for the convention.
 The returns were received from Huff man. beat A. yesterday The vote there was 24 for the convention and 16 against it. The Democratic ticket had a similar majority over the Republican ticket.
 Official Count Today.
 The canvassing board consists of the probate judge, the clerk of the Circuit Court and the Sheriff. At noon today they will begin the official count of the vote cast last Tuesday. and it is proba ble that the work will be completed be- fore night. Only few minutes will be required to ascertain the vote for and against the convention. but on account of the large number of names on the off, cial ballot for delegates longer time will be required to count them. There were nearly an hundred names of cand- dates on the ticket-sixty-one of which were Democratic and the balance Re- publican and Populist.
