WANT Die LEAGUE
TEAM To TRAIN IN
THIS CITY IN L

Americus has been quietly at work
looking towards securing some big
league baseball team to train here
during the coming early spring, and it
is very likely that she will meet with
success. The wonderful climate and
facilities, which will be arranged, are
an attractive inducement for one of
the major league clubs.
Washington, of. the American league,
managed by Clark Griffith, and well
known as the team on which Walter
Johnson twirls, is the squad which
Americus is working on. The follow
irg dispatch gives further encourage
ment that Americus has strong
chance to land the aggregation:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The Wash
ington American league baseball club
has decided to abandon Charlottes-
vile, Va, as a spring training camp,
it has been learned, and will next
year seek city further south to pre-
pare for the pennant race.
The change was attributed to the
desire of the team for warmer weather
early in the spring.
Americas will enjoy the big leaguers.
They mean advertising and lively in
terest for a city, and Americus will
welcome the big leaguers.

a fight in the house of worship Sum
day morning, according to a story at
the police headquarters. Lease Wal
ker and S. F. Bynes, two colored
brethren of the church, exchanged
words very freely on the floor during
a discussion of the pastor, who was
absent in another place. Some of the
dusky brethren wanted the matter
held up during the absence of the
preacher, and one word led to another
which resulted in the altercation-and
a charge of disorderly conduct in the
recorders court.
The case was postponed until Tues
day morning because of Recorder Mar
shall being out of the city "on bust

WILSON SENT THE
EASEMENT NOTE
IN PLENTY TINE.

LONDON, Oct 16-Denial of charges
that the American government was
negligent in the efforts made to save
Sir Roger Easement from execution
for his part in the Dublin uprising
is made in a letter Secretary Joseph
Tumulty wrote Michael F. Doyle, one
cf the attorneys for Easement, and
made public here today. Solicitor
Doyle wrote Secretary Tumulty that
Easements sister informed him that if
the resolution adopted by the United
States senate urging clemency for the
prisoner had been forwarded more
promptly. Easements life might have
heen spared.
, Secretary Tumulty, replying to the
communication of Doyle, quoted from
4 letter from acting Secretary Polk of
the state department, asserting that
tie senate resolution referred to had
been forwarded promptly to the Lon
don foreign Office, and saying further
tnat the British ambassador, Sir Cecil
Spring Rice had shown him a cable
gram on the day before Easements ex-
euution saying the British government
had considered the case and the reso-
olution, but that clemency could not
be granted under existing circum
stances.
Publication of Secretary Tumalty's
letter has done much to clear up cir
surrounding Easements
execution, and establishes clearly that
the Washington government acted
promptly to carry into execution the
desire of the American sentiment ex-
pressing sympathy for the prisoner and
urging clemency in his behalf. 1t is
denied that the letter was written for
its political effect, or that other than
principles actuated the
adoption of the resolution, though ths
prompt action of the Wilson admins
t-ation is expected to have great
weight in bringing Irish-American
votes to the democratic candidate for
president in the United States.
