MRS. RINpLoss SHOT HIM.

Stephen M. Crocker, Terrorizing New
London Family, Seriously Hart.
NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. 25.-
Stephen M. Checker, a member of a
well known New London family, is at
the Memorial hospital in a serious con-
alton as the result of a pistol shot re-
ceived while he was terrorizing the
family of George Bindloss at their
home here at an early hour In the
morning.
Late at night Croker went to the
Bindloss house, and when the door was
opened in response to his ring he push
ed his way in past the servant and met
Mrs. Bindloss and her daughter, Miss
Stella Bindloss. Their refusal to speak
to him angered hip, and for several
hours he had them In state of terror.
Mrs. Bindloss tried to get to the tele-
phone to summon her husband or the
police, but Croker prevented her from
doing so. -5..ss
Mrs. Bindloss about O'Clock in the
morning went to her husbands room
and secured his revolver to protect her
self. As she came down the stairs she
saw Croker beating her daughter, and
In her nervousness the revolver, which
she held in her hand, went off. The
bullet did not strike Crocker, but the
shot attracted his attention from the
girl, and he turned on Mrs. Bindloss.
In struggling with her for possession
of the weapon it was exploded again,
and the bullet entered his body under
the breastbone and inflicted q wound
that probably will cause his death.
Croker left the house after a short
time and went to his home, where he
collapsed and was later taken to the
hospital. When he recovered conscious
ness he said that two tramps shot him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blndloss went to the
police station and told the true story of
the occurrence.

BACKTOW WASHINGTON
Presidents Summer Outing
Ends on Saturday.
BUSY At HIS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
The Important Topics In 1t Are Fed
eral Supervision For Life Insur-
ance, Relations With vene-
xueIa and Santo Domingo.

EucAh anu SGntO DOInInKO.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. %. =
President Roosevelt will complete his
summer sojourn at Sycamore Hill and
return to Washington next Saturday,
Sept. 80. The president, Mrs. Roose-
welt and members of their family,
Secretary and Mrs. Loeb and the men,
beers of the executive force will leave
Saturday morning on a special over
the Long Island railroad.
The president is devoting considera-
BILE time each day now to work on his
annual message to congress. For some
time he has been assembling data for
the message, but since the adjourn
ment of the peace conference he has
been writing the data into definite
form.
Three topics highly important at
this time to the American people will
be discussed by the president in his
message. They are the federal regu-
lation and supervision of life insur-
ance, the relations between this coun-
try and Venezuela and Americas in
terest in the fiscal affairs of the gov
eminent of Santo Domingo. Other Inn
portant subjects naturally will be con-
sidered, among them the scandals dis
closed in the departments of agricul-
ture and the interior, the work of the
department Of justice in the beef trust
cases, the regulation of railroad freight
rates, the progress made in the con-
struction of the Panama canal and the
conclusion Of peace between Russia
and Japan.
Much Of the material for the discus
sion Of these subjects President Roose-
welt now has in hand, and the last
days Of his stay at Sycamore Hill are
being devoted to the preparation Of
the part of his message which will
deal with them. Few visitors have
been received since the adjournment
of the peace conference, the president
desiring to be as free as possible from
interruption while working on his mes
sage. His last week here is practical
ly devoid Of engagements.

The North Woods has a wide range Of
possibilities. The railroads or the steamers
or the stages take the angler almost any
where. He can go forth arrayed in all the
panoply Of the artistic sportsman and cast
his lines in pleasant places, where he can
have the attention Of well trained servants
at the table and on the water, with all the
tid-bits Of the season provided; or he can
don a seTviceable suit, enter his canoe and
journey for a hundred miles over the water
ways. the trails between which are well
defined, taking pot luck at more or less
elaborate woods inns or he can rough il
