Tie FaIaba Incident.
With regard to the sinEing of the
steamer Falaba, by which an Ameri-
can citizen lost his life, the govern
ment of the United States is surprised
TO find the German imperial govern
ment contending that an effort on the
part Of the merchantmen to escape
capture and secure assistance alters
the obliga ton of the officer seeking to
make the capture in respect of the
safety of the lives of those on board
the merchantmen although the Yes-
sci has ceased her attempt to escape
when torpedoed. These are not new
circumstances. They have been in
the minds of statesmen and of inter-
national iurists throughout the naval
warfare and the government of the
United States does not understand
that they have ever been held to alter
the principles of humanity upon
which it has insisted. Nothing but

German Contention Irrelevant.
whatever may be the contentious
of the imperial German government
regarding the carriage of contraband

contentious are irrelevant to the cues

MURDERER SAVED
BY RABBITS FOOT
Negro Lays. His Luck in Escap-
ing Death to "coniure"
He Wears.
SENTENCED five TIMES
Four Times He Gets New Trial and at
Last Penalty 10 COMMITTED to
Life imprisonment by
the Governor.

Birmingham, Ala.-Ervin Pope, ne
gro, has entered upon life term in
prison after five convictions of MUIR
der in the first degree.
The crime was committed in 1909.
The victim was ]. B. McClurkin, a
farmer Of Calhoun county. On tech
nical errors the supreme court re-
versed four verdicts, but confirmed
the fifth verdict. Three times the gov
ernor respited the man and finally
cOmmuted his sentence to life impris-
onment, giving as the chief ground
for this action that blood-stained shoes
found in Pope's house soon after the
murder and used as states evidence
against him did not fit him. Anent
this 1t is remarked that many negroes
in the South wear shoes picked up by
gift or otherwise, regardless of fit. AT
the time of the murder sentiment was
so strong against Pope that he was
brought to Birmingham for safekeep-
ing.
Thirteen times a date was set for
Pope's execution and he watched the
building of two of the scaffolds from
his prison window. The case made
a statewide reputation for two young
lawyers for the defense, one just out
of Yale.
Never Lost Nerve or Hope.
Although Pope heard his death
sentence read eight times he never
lost nerve or hope, but smiled each
time and declared he would never be
hanged, because he always wore sus-
pended from his neck the left hind
foot of a rabbit killed in a graveyard
on a moonlight night of Friday, the
thirteenth Of the month. Frequently
every day he fondled his rabbits foot
with the boast: They'll never hang
me so long as l wear this conjure; II
will save me from the gallows no mat.
ter how many trials they put over"
Even when witnessing the erection OF
scaffolds for his execution he gazed
smilingly and confidently on his rab-
bits foot and declared: Nothing do
ing for that structure"
1t was rumored that McClurkin's
hostility to blind tiger" traffic in his
section led to his murder. and that
Pope was merely tool. Since then
