4 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND JIEW&. MTU TRAIL BLAZER FOR 2 ALABAMA ROUTES By HUGH GRANT. (Sunday American Representative With Pathfinder.) ANNISTON. Aug:. 20.—That the campaign inaugurated by Hearst’s Sunday American for a trans-conti nental highway from Atlanta to San Francisco has aroused the South to its Importance was indicated here Tuesday night when “Pathfinder** Ferguson and his party of tourists glided In upon a scene of contest between factions of St. Clair County, clamoring for the highway to Bir mingham. Mr. Ferguson settled the contro versy for the present by agreeing to take the Asheville route, which was urged by a delegation of four headed by Probate Judge Herring, of St. Clair, who motored to Anniston early Tuesday morning. The other route through Pell City and Riverside, which had been suggested, will be tried out on the second trip. The tourists resumed the Journey to Birmingham Wednesday morning an1 are scheduled to arrive there Thurs day at noon. A representative of The Birmingham News, who relieved The American representative here, accom panied the paity to the Magic City. Ovation All Along the Route. The Ferguson party ended a tri umphant tour through Georgia and Alabama here Tuesday night. All along the route from Atlanta to An niston one continuous ovation was extended to the trail-blazers. Leaving Tallapoosa early Tuesday morning, after spending Monday night there, the party was escorted over a new route to Heflin. Ala., by a delegation-of Tallapoosa good roads boosters, consisting of Mayor Pearce, L. E. Chandler, editor of The Talla poosa Journal; Judge Eaves, Ordi nary of Haralson County, and J. C. and A. L. Jackson, prominent cot ton mill operators and lumber mer chants. The new road, which the Tallapoo sa ns blazed for Mr. Ferguson, has never been tried out before by long distance tourists. It is much shorter than the old Tallapoosa trail and probably will be selected as the of ficial trans-continental route in this section. The Tallapo nn boosters showed the tourists every courtesy and man ifested much enthusiasm over the monster campaign being conducted by The American. According to mem bers of the party, Haralson County now has about 1.000 miles of roads and is preparing to deevlor more. The latest addition to the road building equipment is a $4,500 grader which is being used throughout the county. Tourists See Road Building. A few miles west of Tallapoosa on the Alabama side the tourists got their first view of actual road build ing through the mutual co-operation of the farmers in this section, follow ing a call of Governor O’Neal. Sev eral miles of roadway in Cleburne County is being put in good shape In this way and more work of this na ture is contemplated beyond Heflin. The trans-contlnentalists and es corts from Tallapoosa arrived at Heflin soon after noon Tuesday. Here the# were met and intertained at the Alexander Hotel by R. A. Perryman, oru> of Heflin’s progressive merchants. Mr. Perryman is not only a boos ter of things mercantile, but he is an ardent apostle and booster of good roads and highways. He showed the keenest interest in the tran.'K-onti- nental campaign and declared Cle burne County would do its part. The enthusiastic Tallapoosa boost ers Joined him in this in a pledge to put the project through in this sec tion of the country at all odds. Road Can Be Made Good. Leaving Heflin at 2:30 o’clock Tues day afternoon Mr. Ferguson and par ty set out for Anniston, a distance of twenty miles. Although for the first five miles out the road was rough and hilly, Mr. Ferguson de clares the route can be made O. K. with a small amount of labor. In fact, Mr. Ferguson, who is a past master in the art of road and highway development, declares the entire route from Atlanta to Annis ton is good and capable of affording a fine section of the trans-continental highway. “If the citizens of Georgia and Alabama, between Atlanta and An- piston, dc as much for the develop ment of the roads in the next two years as they have done in the last two,” said Mr. Ferguson, “road condi tions along this section of the high way will be Idea! and scarcely with out parallel. “The main defect of the Alabama roads between the State line and An- nlMton is the extreme narrowness. It is almost impossible to pass teams in many places. However, this con dition can be remedied by the simple application of the rule laid down by the Governor of the State, requesting the farmers to donate a few feet on each side of the road for the widen ing of the highway. Narrow Roads Encountered. Pathfinder Ferguson’s allusion to the narrow roads had a striking ex ample about five miles east of Heflin, where Promoter Jackson, of the Tal lapoosa efforts, was forced to dis mount and hold a baby while the father unhitched his mules and led them into a cornfield at the side of the road to make a passageway. As a result of a confusion of schedules the Ferguson party glided into Anniston unheralded Tuesday af ternoon. Mayor Wlkle, Fklitor Ayers, of The Star and Hot Rlas-l, as well as other prominent citizens, however, were on the Job and gave the tour ists a good send-off. Shortly after the arrival the Ashe ville delegation, consisting of Probate Judge Herring. Judge John Inzer, Dr. W. C. Johnson and Uranus Prlckett, who came down Tuesday morning, called on Mr. Ferguson to present their claims for the Ashevllle-Spring- vllle route. They left Anniston Tues day night after receiving assurance that the tourists would take the Asheville road. The Ferguson party. Including Wal ter Harper, representing The Bir mingham News, will stop over af Ashville Wednesday night, making Birmingham Thursday at noon A big celebration will be held here. From the Magic City the party will go to Montgomery and then, in the order named, to Mobile, New Orleans? Dal las, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Rivals Urge Another Route. A rival delegation of good roads boosters from Riverside arrived this morning to urge Pathfinder Ferguson to go to Birmingham by way of Pel.' City and Riverside. The party consisted of A. R. Mor ris, manufacturer; T. S. Coleman and C. J Fowler. Mr. Ferguson was forced to decline on account of hi.s previous promise to the Ashville boosters. The River side pa»*ty declare their route is 20 miles shorter than the Ashville- Springville highway. Mr. Ferguson assured the party he would go by way of Riverside on the second tour to San Francisco. The transcontinentalists left here at 10 o'clock for Birmingham.

Nervously the defendant looked about the court chamber. His eyes sought out the face of each of the twelve men who to-night will be asked to decide his fate. One of his hands constantly stroked the golden curls of the little girl on his £nee. He shifted uneasily in his seat as Special Prosecutor Roche pointed at him and shouted that he was “hiding behind the skirts of his wife and child.” The case will be in the hands of the jury before to-night. It was the belief of many who have followed closely the progress of the trial that Diggs, as a witness In his own behalf, made a bad impression on the Jury. His efforts to place entire responsibility for the flight to Reno at the door of the Warrington girl, his statements that he was half crazed w'ith fear on account of the reported anger of his wealthy father because of his numerous escapades, and .‘he action of the attorneys for the defense in preventing Diggs tes tifying with reference to the move ment of the elopers after they left feacramn<o, appeared to Impress the jurors unfavorably. Speaking of the wrath of his father, Diggs said he was afraid of what his father would do to him. He said he was so frightened that he was half crazy and did not know what he was doing. He told how he hid from his father in the Columbia Hotel and how he spent a day on the outskirts of the city to keep away from Diggs, Sr. Diggs admitted that after he had taken Marsha Warrington into his own apartment when his wife was away he arranged a dinner party to w'hich he brought the girl to sit at his table with Mrs. Diggs. He ad mitted that he feared th e Juvenile Court officers, though he denied a charge that this fear was due to re lations with young girls of 15 and 17. Amazon of Mexico, Pascuala, Captured DOUGLAS.

MADRID, Aug. 20.—A mighty up heaval of the Dolitical condition of the big powers of Europe is reported. This change in the alignment of the great continental world powers was brought about by the Balkan war and in the future probably will play an important part in the history of civ ilization. According to information obtained from an official source, a project is under consideration by which Spain is to take Russia’s place in the triple entente and Russia is to head a new alliance including some of the Slav states. Whether Russia is to throw her for tunes with Bulgaria or whether she will head a group of Balkan powers, including Servla, Roumanla, Monte negro and Greece, is not known. It Is pretty certain, however, that Russia will take steps soon to form a league with states which became prominent and powerful in the Balkan war. With Russia out of the triple al liance, Spain still will have two pow erful allies, namely, Great Britain and France. Territorial accession of Great Brit ain, Spain and France have to some extent given them common interests. There is a movement on foot in Paris to try to hold Russia in the al liance, but it is doubtful whether it will prove successful. If Russia re mains with the old alliance and Spain is added, the triple entente, including Austria, Germany and Italy, will be completely overshadowed.
