MAY BOUNCE HITCHCOCK,
HIS MANAGEMENT OF CAM.
PAlGN CRITICISED BY RE-
PUBLICANS.
National Chairman Will Discuss Com.
plants With ROOsevelt-NOt Sum.
moned by Roosevelt, Says Sccrc.
tary Loeb.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Chairman
Hitchcock Of the Republican national
committee is expected in Washington
tomorrow and the general understand
inging here is that he will call upon
the president for the purpose Of ex-
changing views with him regarding
the conduct Of the campaign in be.
half Of Secretary Taft.
1t was reported here today that the
president had summoned Mr. Hitch
cock for the purpose Of requesting
from him an explanation OF the many
criticisms which have recently come
to the White House concerning the
management OF affairs both in New
York and Chicago, but Secretary Loeb
tonight denied the portion of the re-
port which attributed Mr.. Hitchcock's
coming to a special request from
the president. There is, however. ex-
cellent authority for the general
statement that a number of COM
plants as to the management Of the
campaign have reached the executive
mansion and the understanding IS
that President Roosevelt will welcome
the opportunity to talk with Mr..
Hitchcock.
So far as divulged the censure
seems to point to the fact that the
national con,nittoa hoe t,,;, 800, Ct,
ed to cooperate as completely ana
zealously with the congressional COM
mittee as IN past years and it is un-
derstood that some Of the criticisms
have come from Republican candi-
dates for congress. On the other
hand. 1t has been explained to the
president that the national chairman
has been very busily engaged in ar
ranging the details Of the national
campaign and has been inclined, to
give the major portion of his atten-
ton to that subject rather than to
the selection of members Of congress,
because he regarded that as his espe-
cial work, while he was confident that
the congressional committee would be
abundantly able to look after the in
terests Of congressional candidates.
Reports Of discourteous conduct at
the national committee headquarters
toward Republicans of prominence
have also reached the president.

OVER BRADDOCK'S ROUTE.
College Men Have Located Historic
Line OF March.

Cumberland, Nd, Sept. 23.-The
college professors and students who
left Cumberland more than a month
ago to trace the route taken by Cen
eral Braddock when he marched to the
relief Of Fort Duquesne, yesterday
finished their itinerary. Nearly all
the party dropped out. The men who
finished were H. w. Temple Of Wash
ington and Jefferson College; ]. L.
KALI. Of Michigan, and John K. La
cock, Of Harvard. Their work until
reaching Circleville, Pa, was compar-
lively easy. but here two routes were
pointed out. The explorers got on
two blind trails and, finally, under the
guidance of S. P. Mcintyre, Of Jack
sonvile, the struck the right one,
which will be mapped.
The men started their final search
near Circleville. At this place a grave
had been marked. Three feet below
the surface skeleton was unearthed
and pair of silver shoe buckles found.
From this farm the trail led to the
Larimer farm and across the Taylor
farm. At the latter place four graves
were found. A ravine to Jacks run
doubtless was used.
The army 1t is thought found pro-
gress barred by precipices, and the
Monongahela was crossed at this
point. Once across, few miles
brought the soldiers opposite Turtle
creek. Recrossing, they fell into am
bush and were routed. The investi-
gators say there is no question in
their minds about this being the
right road. They largely base their
opinion on the discovery Of the graves
Of soldiers, supposedly buried along
the line Of march. The explorers will
go over every part Of the battlefield
now that the route as been COM
pleted.
The concensus of opinion is that the
Dattleneld is near Thirteenth street
and Braddock avenue. Braddock. They
will search the hills above the city
where the remains of old Notifications
may be seen. Material has been gath

tion Of this tramway.

The defendant, B. B. Seymour, test
ifies to the cutting of certain pine and
oak trees, by the plaintiff on the line
Of its tramroad, but the cutting of
such trees Is not alleged in the coun-
ter claim as an element defendants
damages, and such damages cannot
be considered.
But II 1t were proper to consider
the cutting OF these trees in the ele-
ment Of damages under the counter
claim. there is absolutely no testimony
upon which the master could intel
ligently find the value Of such trees
as were cut OF the extent to which
the value Of the land was deprecated
by the cutting OF said trees.
The witness, B. B. Seymour, says
these were large trees; how large, he
does not say. If the pines were large
enough to be cut into plank or cross
ties, these belonged to the plaintiff.
ghe element of actual damages set
UP in the counter claim is digging up
the soil. To what extent the soil was
digged up In the construction Of the
tramway does not appear from the
evidence.
The chief damage or injury proven
by the evidence is due to the use and
operation OF said tramway since it's
construction. This is not the dam
age sought to be recovered by the
counter claim and 1t cannot be recov-
cred in this case. Since the defend
ants have failed t. prove the value of
the damages alleged in their counter
claim, the master was in error in al
lowing them anything more than
nominal damages. to wit; one dollar.
1t should be remembered that defend
ants have not by their counter claim
sought to recover damages for amy
injury to defendants land accruing
since the construction OF aforesaid
tramroad.
1t is therefore ordered adjudged
and decreed as follows:
1. The defendants exceptions to
the masters report be and the same
Is hereby overruled.
2. That so many Of plaintiffs ex-
ceptions to the said report as are not
herein practically sustained be over
ruled.
8. That the masters report, and
the same Is hereby modified to con-
form to the views herein expressed,
and thus modified, be confirmed.
4. The defendants have leave to
enter Judgment against the plaintiff
for one dollar. nominal damages on
counter claim.
8. That the temporary injunction
as before granted herein be. and the
same Is hereby dissolved.
8. That PLAINTIFFS prayer for an
Injunction against defendants re.
straining them from interfering with
the tramroad In question is refused.
Z. That the plaintiff pay the costs
Of this action.

How Savages Create Fire

TT IS rather difficult for us to im-
 agine people who know nothing A about fire. and. as a matter of fact there are no people now on the face of the earth, no matter how barbarous, who do not know how to make fire. We make 1t easily enough by striking a match, but years ago our ancestors were compelled to re- sort to flint. steel and finder. The forest-dwelling people Of the farther East have an odd instrument for mak- ing Are. Near the coast every man carries a bit of crockery in the box of bamboo slung at his waist. a chip or a plate and handful of dry fun gus. Holding the finder under his thumb upon the fragment of earthen- ware, he strikes the side of the box sharply and the finder takes fire. But this method can only be used by tribes which have communication with the foreigner. who supplies them with European goods. The inc land people use 6 more singular process. They carry a short cylinder of lead. hollowed roughly to cuplike form at one end. which fits a joint of bamboo. Placing this cylinder In the palm of the left hand. they i'll the cup with finder. adjust the bam- boo over 1t, strike sharply. remove the covering as quickly, ana the tin- der is alight.
