Murder and Suicide.

Harry j. Everett, carpenter, thirty
four years old, living in Washington, IN
jealous rage, last night, shot his wife
Margaret twice in the breast over the
heart and once 10 the mouth and then
committed suicide by shooting himself
in the mouth. The tragedy occurred in
the dark hallway of house at 3O42 ii
street northwest, where the woman had
been rooming. Mrs. Everett died in
the arms of Policeman McDermott, in a
patrol wagon, while being hurried to
Georgetown Hospital, and her husband
died an hour after being admitted there
The couple had been married about a
year, and had not lived happily together.
About four weeks ago the young wife
deserted her husband, and, it is said,
made known her love for soldier sta
toned at Fort Myer. Che said she en-
gagged a room at the H street house in
order to be near the fort. Everett traced
her yesterday to the house, and after
four attempts succeeded in gaining adj
mittance, lying in wait for her in dark
corner.
81 have found you, and we are going
to go together" he exclaimed. He
drew a 32-caliber revolver, and shot her
down, and then turned the weapon upon
himself. A few minutes later two police
men found the couple gasping in agony,
the woman lying on the floor on her
back, and the man with his head on her
breast and his arms partly around her
shoulders. They were covered with
blood. An empty revolver lay beside
them.
In the pocket of the clothing of the
dead man two notes-written on a tele-
graph bank-were found, the wording
of which indicated that he had carefully
planned the double shooting. One note
read
81, Margaret, agree to die with my
husband this day. Please bury us to-
gether. This is all ask Of the living.
"MARGARET."
The other note was
"rhis man and woman is Henry and
Margaret Everett. We were married on
September 26, 1904. We lived together
until September l3, when she deserted
me for a soldier named Louis Hit, a
soldier in Troop F, Thirteenth Cavalry.
They lived together and broke my heart,
as loved her. She said she would not
give him up for me, so this is the con
sequence for being unfaiihful death |
hope. Henry j. Everett, 94lS New
Hampshire avenue northwest"
From the contents of the notes the
police are of the opinion that Everett
decided to kill himself and his wife end
arranged them in order that it would
appear as though the killing were agreed
upon between them.
Everett until short time ago was en-
ployed as 4 carpenter by the Washing
ington Traction Company. At the time
Everett married the woman he killed he
was divorced from another whom he had
married when he was a young man. He
had several children by his first wife,
but none by the second.

COM MMERCIAL CLUB
 WILL MEET FRIDAY
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EN- PERMANENT OF PRESIDENT WILL BE HEARD-oTHER CON- MITTEE REPORTS.

The Commercial club will hold It's regu- lar meeting Friday afternoon in its room in the Linn building. Several matters of importance will come before the body.
 The committee on the entertainment of President Roosevelt, of which Maj Frank Y. Anderson is chairman. will make a report to the club. The entertainment of President Roosevelt during his stay in Birmingham was entirely in the hands of this committee, and the report will be heard with much interest
 The advisability of the construction or an electric railway from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa will be discussed. This ques- ton was before the club at It's last meeting and a committee was appointed to obtain data relative to the new road. This committee has held several meetings and, it is understood, has gathered a great deal of information on the subject.
 The committee on new industries will also submit report to the club. This committee has been at work on several new industries, and will in all probability have an interesting report to make. The president and the secretary of the club will read their regular monthly reports.
 The chairmen and the various special and standing committees will have reports to submit to the club. The board of di- rectors will hold a meeting previous to the time for the meeting of the club.

CHURCH AND STATE.
Bitter Struggle Will Probably Be Con.
 cluded at This Session.

Paris October 29-The re-openlng of the parliament tomorrow will mark the re- newal and undoubtedly the conclusion of the long and bitter struggle for the sep aration of church and state. The senate will immediately take up the separation bill as 1t passed the chamber of deputies The measure has already been approved by the senate committee by vote of ten to two. With the report favoring the bill will oe presented minority re- port asserting that the measure will pro- yoke agitation by uprooting social and re- lglous traditions.
 The debate will begin November II. The passage of the bill by a large ma- jor!ty Is a forgone conclusion. This how ever, will require haste as the senatorial elections take place January [
 The chamber of deputies will be chiefly occupied with the budget, the working mems pension measure, and possible discussion of the Franco GermQn relations with regard to Morocco.
 The indications are that the Rouvier cabinet will command a substantial ma jority and be secured aganist a fall. Pre- mier Rouvier has communicated his in- tention of voluntarily relinqushing be- fore long the portfolio of foreign affairs, and resuming the direction of the min istry of finance.

pleased with what they have seen, and the information has been spread all over the state that the fair is the best held in several years.
 The number of out of town visitors to the fair has been large, and it has in- creased steadily Although there were two special days last week the number of coupon tickets Saturday showed that there were nearly 300 more out of town people on the grounds than on any pre- vious day.
 Races Feature.
 Probably the biggest feature of the fair has been the races, which have been exceptionally good. The sport has been clean and there has not been an incident to mar the pleasure of watching the ponies run and the pacers and trotters. Some new horses arrived yesterday and several of them will be entered in the races to be run this week.
 The judges of the races have not had to fine any of the jockeys during this meet, which is considered something re- markable for seven days racing. Two of the drivers of harness races were fined, but it was merely for not scoring as in- structed by the judge and the fines were nominal. The races commence today at 2:30 O clock.
 There will be no horse show for the remaining nights of the fair. The pro- gramme was completed Saturday night. There will, however, be a number of things to entertain the people, such as the band concert in the band stand. the Hot Sands" the various exhibits by cleo tric light and other plans the manage ment is perfecting.
 Arena Programme. The grounds were open for a portion of the day yesterday, and there was band concert in the afternoon lasting for two hours An admission to the grand stand was charged, and many people went to the grounds to hear the music. A large number went to the grounds to visit the stables and look at the show horses, the runners and the harness horses. It was the first opportunity that many had had to visit the grounds and make a close inspection of them.
 This morning the arena classes of horses and cattle will be shown and the awards made. The classes to be shown are as follows:
 Class P, Harness Horses-Standard bred. Pedigrees should be furnished judge. TO be shown in harness except Nos. and Q. To be judged by conformation, quality, action, general adaptability for harness and the manner in which they are shod

 Alabama Day.

After most successful opening week, the gates of the Alabama state fair will be opened this morning for the first of the last four days. The indications are that the crowds this week will be prac- tically as large as last week, although there will be no big special days such as Presidents day and ehildrens day. The crowds have been increasing steadily ever since the fair opened, and the manage ment has reason to believe that the in- crease will continue.
 The public has become thoroughly con- vinced that the fair management has an exhibition that is a credit to the state, and one that is the advance guard of bet ter ones to follow in subsequent years. Nearly everyone who has visited the fair in the past week have gone away well

MAY TAKE ACTION TO
 HAVE BETTER ROADS

It is very probable that the question of public roads Improvement will require goodly portion of the time at the ses- sion of the board of revenue Wednesday, The road supervisor will possibly make report. showing the conditions of the public highways of Jefferson county.
 The widespread discussion of the roads which has been going on in every part of the county has caused the question of better roads to become one of the most lively before the people at this time.
 It is reported that the board will make a thorough investigation of the public roads and will take some action looking to putting them in a better shape.
 A majority of the board have expressed themselves as favoring a measure that would insure the county having better roads.
 The county supervisor has had con- siderable work done on the roads during the past few days and he will probably submit an interesting report. In the past week the district overseers have be-

gun Improvements on the Jasper road be- tween Pratt City and Brookside and the roads in Shades valley are being im- proved.
 The suggestion made by Mayor Star buck of Avondale that the county bikes running through municipalities is worked by the country has created considerable comment. The mayor was answering the criticism that had been made on the city authorities of the various towns In the county relative to the condition of the county roads in the town.
 Mayor Starbuck declared that inasmuch as the incorporated towns of this county paid over three-fourths of the total taxes he thought that they should receive as- sistance in working the county roads ruE- ming through their limits.
 The statement of Mayor Starbuck re- veals the fact that there are twenty-one municipalities in Jefferson county and ac- cording to the present law the board Of revenue is prohibited from expendng any money on the roads in these towns.
