yesterday piled up six runs, there
by annexing the third game Of the
post season series, by the
score OF II 20 and
forging ahead of the BurIin gton
and forging ahead Of the Burlington

to victory but was hit hard by the
Pathfnders and only by the fact that
his teammates piled up big score
behind him was he enabled 10 win
The game was mucn IN the order Of
that of Saturday, a free hitting con-
test with frequent errors.
A large crowd was on hand to
cheer the champions on their way.
When Cairo scored six runs in the
eighth frame, tho crowd went wild
Redlam and pandemonium turned
loose at the same time could have
made no more noise.
Each team was guilty Of four
errors, NEST of which figured N the
scoring. Cairo was outhit, II to s,
but the way the Burlington pitchers
we're tlincing the ball in every III

should have cored even more than
they did.
The victory gave Cairo an edge on
the series and the Burlington crowd
will now have TO hustle to beat out

come back and pitch another game.
Fink should prove effective in one

 ACTIVE MEASURES TO RELIEVE AMERICANS

Washington, August 1.-Active measures for relief of many thousands of Ameri- cans in distress in Europe for lack of money or lack of means to return home have begun by President Wilson and Sec retary Bryan.
 The President and Secretary of State conferred tonight on getting money to citizens abroad.
 The administration has under considera- tion sending army and navy transports to carry American refugees, and a spe- cial request to Congress for an appropria- tion is expected to be made
 The President and Mr. Bryan discussed several plans. but will rot make final decision until tomorrow when they will confer again and get the opinion of bank CTS who usually serve the state depart ment abroad in normal times.
 If necessary the government is prepared to send American vessels abroad with gold for the relief of AmeI:cans. Immedi- ately after the conference with the Pres;- dent, MT. Bryan cabled all consulates, legations and embassies to spare no pains Tn caring for Americans who remained in the war zones and giving every facility to those who wished to leave
 State department officials admitted that the most serious problem con. frcnting them was the plight of Amer jeans abroad. They estimated that at least 100000 and perhaps 30O,0OO are scattered throughout Europe The dis orSanization of European exchange has made 1t practically impossible to cash checks or letters of credit American consulates legations and embassies are devoid of funds for the emergency which has suddenly confronted them.

 Looked Into This
 Week 9

Jasper August 1.-(Special )-Judge J. J. Curtis of the circuit court, will em- panel grand jury Monday to invest gate the crimes committed in this county within the past few i.onths. Some irn- portant offenses will be investigated by this body of men, among them being the killing of Will Tucker by W. c. Adair, deputy sheriff. at Dora. The killing was done in Jefferson county short distance from the Walker county line Adair was arrested by Walker officers, given a pre- liminary hearing at which 1t was decided to let the matter undergo investigation by the Walker grand jury
 In the meantime the coroner of .Ieffer- son issued warrant for Adair. sent 1t to Jasper for execution. alleging that the murder was committed within the iuris- dicton of the Jefferson officials. Tn. war rant was not executed because legal ac- tion had already been taken by Walker county 1t was alleged there was a con flict between the executive departments of Walker and Jefferson coiintles as -,o which should exercise the power of the law in Investigating the killing of Tucker by Deputy Adair, when the former at- tempted to intimdate the latter. who had him under arrest short distance from the Walker county line. County Solicitor J. D. Acuff and the coroner of Jefferson had some rather warm coli.e : spondence over points of law in refer ence to this case. The matter was given considerable publicity by the coroner and it ended with that.

ANONYMOUS LETTER
 SAYS POPE INNOCENT OF M'CLERKIN MURDER
Attorneys, However, Fail to Attach Much Importance to Letter Re-
 ceived From Wyoming

Anniston, August Especial. .)-Another Interesting chapter was written in the famous Pope case Saturday, when a let ter was received by the sheriff and Pope s attorneys stating that Pope is not the man who murdered J. B. McClurkin on the night of April 19, 1909.
 The letter was mailed at Hampton Wyo., i nthe afternoon of July 2s and was addressed to the postmaster at Am niston Ala, with instructions to deliver the same to the officers. The letter was written in a clear and legibe hand and shows that 1t was written by man who is fairly we'll educated It is as followss Postmaster, Anniston, Alabama
 Please hand this letter to the officers of Anniston, Ala. Erwin Pope of Oxford is not the man that murdered J. B. Me Clurkin on April 19, 1909.
 "To His Attorneys:
 Don't let him be executed, for he is in- nocent and never took the life of J. B. McClurkin. This is the truth, and noth- ing but the truth. God bless us all"
 On the back of the letter was a post script, evidently written as an after thought, urging the postmaster here not to fail to give the letter to Popes attor- neys.
 Much interest has been manifested in the above letter, in view of the fact that Pope must die two weeks from next Fri day, between sun up and 10 o'clock in the morning for the murder of MT. Cc- Clurkin. Some think that the letter was written by John Body, the negro who tes- cd at of tria thot no haa rfl MT. McClerkin begging Erwin Pope not to kill him. Body disappeared after the first trial and before the second and for this reason he has cast suspicion upon himself in the minds of many people in this county.
 The concensus of opinion, however, is that the letter is fake, and was written by some of Popes friends as desperate effort to save his life. Judge Thomas w. Coleman of the city court of Anniston, before whom Pope has had many trials, stated that he did not attach any impor- tance whatever to the letter. Sheriff c. T. Brooks said Saturday that the letter was evidently a fake, written in the in terest of the condemned man. Chief Deputy A. H. Borders, after examining several unintelligible characters and eras- ures under a magnifying glass, and after making an effort to identify the hand writing, said that he thought no atten- ton should be given to the communica- ton.
 Attorney T. J. Harris who represented Pope at his last trial, and who is now representing him, stated Saturday that the letter might be of importance and it might be worthless "To say the least, he stated, this is an interesting docu- ment.. It is understood that MT. Harris will send the letter to the governor be- l fore whom an application for a pardon or communication of sentence is now pend- | ing.

WAR ECHOES

London Special to the New York Times, July 20: Hundreds of anxious American tourists en route to the continent besieged the travel agencies. the express com panies and the embassy today clamoring for information and advice. As result Of meagre and often contradictory infor- nation some are remaining in London to await the developments of the next AS hours, but the bulk of American trav- elers are going ahead
 The manager of West End hotel said ''Our American guests are not easily in- duced to give up their plans Why, one party left this morning for a motor tour on the continent"
 The branch manager of well known tourist agency said: There has been no noticeable let up in the rush to France, Germany and Switzerland. We are also selling many tickets to Austria today, de- spite the printed dispatches from Vienna that the railways have been taken over by the military and traffic for the gen eral public is suspended. Many travellers, mostly Americans, are willing to take the chance of getting into Austria and out again. The English are postponing their visits to Carlsbad Marienbad, and other watering places indefinitely, whereas the Americans are still sticking to their pro- grammes'
 The same thing was learned at the local offices of the Austrian state rail ways, which were swamped by inquiries as to the possibility and advisabiity of going to Carlsbad or Marienbad at the present time. Inquirers all received advice to wait for week or 10 days.
 The passenger agent, who is in tele- graphic communication with the Austrian ministry of railways, thought there was no danger to Americans in Carlsbad or other watering places of being marooned owing to mobilization.
 Paris Special to the New York Times July 29: The international crisis thus fal has had the effect of causing the majority of the thousands of American tourists now in Paris to abandon trips eastward, but only in a few instances have Americans become so frightened as to book passage home immediately.
 The New York Times correspondent called today on all tourist and steamship agents, banks and express companies, and found an entire absence of panic so far as Americans are concerned. But at the consulate and embassy hundreds of trav- elers are seeking information. There are about TOO callers a day now at the con- sulate against GO on ordinary days Fol the majority the first question is: "Is i, safe for us to go into Germany or Aus tria?" The second question is: "Is it safe to remain in Paris three or four weeks without jeopardizing our chances to re. turn to America?"
 The consulate and the diplomatic of. hcials not having any news of definite character, can only point out that in cas, of war the chances of getting home woult be very slim.
