PIONEERING IN LAYING
NATIONAL HIGHWAYS
Many Fine Highways Com.
pleted and Many Others
Under Construction.

The same pioneering that tool
place in laying out the great trans
continental railroad lines is now be
ing done in laying out transconti
mental automobile routes. From the
northern line to the Mexican border
the course of rivers and mountain
passes in the western country are be-
ing prospeCted for routes that will
offer the most in scenic attraction
and ease of travel.
one of the latest to make bid for
popularity is the National Parks high
way. Lawrence II. Brown, secretary
of the Washington State Good Roads
association, in presenting the claims
of this route for tourist travel, says
Of it:
THE National Parks highway eX-
tends from the great lakes by way Of
Milwaukee. Madison, La Crosse, the
Twin Cities, Fargo, Bismarck, Bill

Spokane to Seattle and Tacoma, con-

the moment It leaves Chicago at

shore of Lake Michigan to Milwau-
kee thru the fascinating lake country
and fertile fields of Wisconsin. For
more than sixty miles 1t winds up and
down along the Mississippi from La
Crosse, Wis, to Winona, Mimi, and
beyond on the road to Lake City,
where It skirts Lake Pepin, looking
across on an inland summer resort
country that has future second TO

NEGRO MURDERER
OF SCHOOL GIRL IS

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 22.-El
Parsons, n negro, was lynched at Potts
Camp to-day by a mob OF several hun
dred men, who drenched the clothing
OF their victim in oil. tied him to a tree
and burned him alive. Eli Parsons,
one Of the negroes. had confessed to
attacking Antoinette Rappei. a school
girl at Potts Camp two weeks ago.
and killing her by cutting her head
from her body.
Parsons was arrested and after his
confession was taken to Nashville by
a big force Of Deputy sherlffs. Word
got abroad to-day that he was being
brought back for trial. A lynching
mob was formed at Potts Camp and
went to the railroad. Atty miles away.
TO intercept the train. The Deputies
were overpowered and Parsons was
brought back 20 the scene OF his
crime. On the way he made second
confession in which he implicated a
deaf and dumb negro and another as
having shared his guilt. Neither OF
them had left the place.
The mob took Parsons to a tree
near where the girl was murdered.
The story OF his detailed confession
seemed to arouse the men to uncon-
trollable fury and he. was slashed.
dlshgured and tortured while he was
being prepared for burning. A pro-
posal that he be shot before he was
set on fire was vetoed by the mother
OF his victim, who was supported by
the voices OF scores Of women and
girls who were in the crowd OF sew
eral thousand.
No sooner was Parsons dead than
the lynchers. none OF whom wore
masks and all OF whom have some
standing in the neighborhood. scat
tered TO find the two he had accused
as accompiices. In less than an hour
Dewitt Ford was found and brought
In.
Posses are still securing the coun-
try for the third negro and there Is
no doubt that both will be burned nj
once. The crowd waited impatiently
for news that he had been Captured

the promise OF a double burning
