noticeable that none of the members
from this county in the last legisla-

SUNDAY A QUIET
DAY IN JACKSON, KY.
SEARCH OF COUNTY JAIL MADE
BUT NOTHING FOUND -JETT
CONSIDERED A DESPERATE AND
DARING CRIMINAL.

Jackson, KY, May 31.-Sunday was a
quiet day in Jackson.
Save for the inspection in the morning,
an unusually large number of curious
visitors from the country. and search
of the jail, the hours passed monotiously.
Saturday night was without special in
odent Fearing that a weapon or saw
might have been passed to Jett or White
by some visitor, Colonel Williams took
the precaution to have every cell in the
jail examined.
While nothing was found, the author
tiles felt easier when the search was
completed
When Jett was in Jail here last win
ter under a peace bond for $1,000, crow
bar and Ratchet were taken to him and
he found no difficulty in liberating him
cerated
1t is believed that he would not hesi-
tate to saw out and rush the guard, If
the opportunity was offered.
He Is noted for daring acts and among
his element is regarded as a hero
He displayed remarkable courage only
a few weeks ago by saving the life of
Jailer Spencers son who was drowning.
Commemorative Attorney Byrd and
Attorney Thomas Marcum brother of the
murdered man, after a conference to-
night, announced that-the trials will be
held at this term of court. Byrd said
he would not request a change Of venue.

believed that the defense will ask for a
continuance.

The BlIou.

Tuxedo" which the Bijou Musical
Comedy company will present in Biz
mingham this week for the first time, was
considered the best piece ever written by
Ed Marble, an uncle of Mary and Dan
Marble, who are two of the leading people
in the cast of the company. 1t is built
on a clever and not much used idea, and
its originality is a charm that adds much
to the brightness of the lines and the
excellent music which has been intro
duced.
The Bijou company will produce 1t with
very little change from the original. There
will be a number of new specialties and
songs introduced, while the best of the
old ones were retained. On Mary Mar
BILE, Chip Otis Harlan and Tony Hart
falls most of the work. and they handle
it in the same excellent manner which
has made them favorites here.
The Bijou girls will appear in two or
three places in each act of the show. They
have new costumes, new songs, and the
same old spirit which has made them so
popular everywhere the company has APP
peared. There have been no changes in
personnel of the chorus, and the audience
will see all the old familiar faces.
There will be the regular matinees this
week. This promises to be the largest
week the Bijou theatre has ever known.
AS 1t is the last time the company will
ever be seen in Birmingham it is proba-

The people of Birmingham along with
those of other communities throughout

barous conduct as the massacre of men,
women and children in one of the most
populous countries in the world and with
the semi official approval of the ruler OF
that country should not be allowed to

liberty loving people, ana to that end

AND HE WILL PROBABLY DIE
FROM THE INJURIES.

S. w. seay. aged 81 years, an employe
of the Williamson Iron company, was
severely burned yesterday by hot metal
Which he was rolling from one part of the
furnace to another. He was carried to
St. Vincents hospital, and is in very
critical condition. 1t is not thought that
he will live through today, as it is be-
lieved that he inhaled some or the flames
from the metal.
How the accident happened is not
known. The metal ran all over Mr.. Seay,
and he is burned from head to foot. On
many parts of his body the skin has
pealed off, and the raw flesh is exposed.
He was given what relief was possible,
but his suffering is great.
The burned man has wife and two
children He does not live in Birming-

miles from here. His wife was notified
yesterday of his injuries and was at the
hospital last night.

SUNDAY CROWDS
IN BIRMINGHAM
MANY PEOPLE ENJOYED YEsTER-
DAYS PLEASANT WEATHER AT
THE PARKS AND PLEASURE RE-
soRTs-TRoLLEY IN VOGUE.

The balmy spring weather brought out
large crowds of Birmingham church
goers and pleasure seekers yesterday and
the cars were doing rushing business
until late hour at night.
A great many people went out to spend
the afternoon at East Lake, where the
cool breezes and the green trees afforded
a grateful change from the smoke and
dust of the city. This popular resort is
in full swing for the summer now and is
attracting many people from Birmingham
who are in search of recreation.
East Lake was not the only place Wis
tied yesterday, however. Lake View came
in for its share of attendance and all the
other places of interest within easy reach
of Birmingham drew many people. The
parks were we'll filled all the afternoon
with strollers and tired business men
seated about the benches, recuperating
from a weeks work. All the parks are
looking very pretty just now.
At both the morning and evening SER
vices the churches were well attended
Beautiful summer frocks and straw hats
were much in evidence. The attendance
at the churches is probably larger now
than it will be later in the season when
the weather becomes nnpleasantly warm.
The avenues were enlivened with car
riages late in the afternoon and few
automobiles were seen here and there,
although Birmingham is not over-stocked
as yet with the horseless carriage. The
sidewalks were traversed by many stroll
ers and altogether yesterday was a typical
ir-weather Sunday in an up-to-date
touyy,

parish made their first communion The
girls were attired In white and the boys
wore suits Of black. The Rev. Father
O'Reily preached a singularly eloquent
sermon, dwelling upon the unspeakable
glory of the eucharist and bringing out
one especially beautiful thought. He said
that while ST. Joseph carried Jesus in his
arms 1t was the privilege of all the faith
full to carry Him In their souls. a part of
themselves forever to bless them.
Father oReilly then emphasized the
lofty mission of the Knights of Column

uphold and strengthen holy mother

of organization and discipline. and said
that those outside the Catholic church
habitually referred to these great forces.
which in large part constituted the vast
power of the church throughout the

During the services the children sang
hymns at once simple and heavenly.
The congregation was so great as to
tax the full capacity of st. Paule
1t was estimated that about 1900 worship
pers were present.
The Rev. Father Gregory, o. S. B.. who
was recently ordained priest at st. Ber-
