PLANS FORMING TO MARK
 THE OLD NATCHEZ TRACE

Jackson, Miss, October 21-(Special)-A great deal of interest has recently been revived in what is known in several eoun- ties of Mississippi as the 'Natchez Trace" because of the determination of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion to place a few granite boulders along that great highway to mark and preserve matters of historical interest and import ance.
 Most Mississippians have heard of the "Natchez Trace" but not one in hun dred knows anything about 1t, where it began, meandered or ended, or how it came to be- In 1892, long before the days of railroads. the Congress of the United States. appreciating the necessity and the value of good roads, delegated General Wilkinson, Hugh Davis and John Collins as commissioners to blaze out and con- struct a highway from Natchez in a northeastern direction so as to reach the Cumberland river country in Tennessee, and treaty was entered into with the In dians who inhabited the section of coun- try to be crossed, which gave to the red men the right to establish stands" or trading posts along this great right-of- way

Prentiss and Tishomingo counties, entering Colbert county, Alabama, a few miles from Iuka, Miss, and on to the Cumberland river.

FOREST FIRES ARE
 NOT CONTROLLED


 Pittsburg, October I.-Dispatches re- ceived here today from various sections of western Pennsylvania report dangerous forest fires raging about many towns. The flames arc gradually assuming grave proportions, and the damage is heavy and widespread.
 While a great number of persons have had to flee from their homes, and many lren have had narrow escapes in fighting the confiagrations, as yet no fatalities have been reported.
 A telephone message received in Oil City from Spring Creek, Warren county. states that the village is practically sur rounded by flames and the entire popula- ton is fighting them. Timber valued at $50,000 was destroyed today.
 In the Allegheny mountains and vicinity the fires are doing great damage, and are sweeping over wide stretches of ter ritory. majority of the small streams are dry. and water is scarcity. x

Friendly To Labor
 'I feel that l have the rigmt to speak frankly in this matter because through out my term as President it has been my constant object to do everything In my power, both my administrative action and by endeavorfng to secure legislative action to advance the cause of labor, protect it from unjust aggression and secure its legitimate rights. l have accomplished something; l hope to accomplish some- thing more before l leave office; l have taken special and peculiar interest in MT
 Taft's candidacy, because I believe that of all the men in this country he is the man best qualified for continuing the work of securing to the wageworkers of the country their full rights. l will do everything in my power for the wage workers of the country except to do what is wrong. l will do wrong for noN man, and With all the force In my power solemnly warn the laboring man of this country that any public man who advo- cates doing wrong in their ipterest can not be trusted by them. and thls whether his promise to do wrong is given know ing that 1t is wrong, or because of a levity and lack of consideration which make him willing to promise anything without counting the cost If thereby sup port at the moment can be purchased. Just as I have fought hard and shall continue to fight hard to bring about in the fullest way the recognition of the right of the employe to be amply com pensated for injury received in the course of his duty, so l have fought hard and shall continue to fight hard to do away with all abuses in the use of the power of injunction.

Held For First Degree Murder.

Medina, O., October 21.-Guy Rasor, held for the murder of Orie Lee, his sweet heart, on the road near wadsworth, on the night of October 8, was bound over to the grand jury on a charge of first de- gree murder by Justice Vandusen today. The defense sought to show that he had always been devoted to the dead girl, and that he had no cause to kill her. The states strongest evidence was the tracks left in the dust of the road by the horse and buggy which carried the girl to the place where her body was found. The tracks were marked by the peculiar shoe ing of Rasor's horse
