edly early in the evening.
Upon entering the house he found his

and Immediately began shooting, his
object, he says, being to kill both the
friend who had wrecked his home and
the wife who had betrayed him. The
first shot entered Summers right lung.
another pierced the abdomen, and u
third struck him 10 the right shoulder.
Screaming in fear, Mrs. Frady ran from
the house, as her husband fred at her.
Thinking be had killed Summer, Frsdy
started for Asheville to surrender. The
"unwritten law" will be his defense
Summer, who MAS found by members
OF his family, who bad heard the shoot
ing, wss taken to George W. VsDderbilrs s
hospital, at Biltmore, and attending
physicians last night stated that he had
about an even chance tor his life.
Summer was formerly deputy sheriff
of Buncombe county, and both men were
considered among the most substantial
residents of The town.

Walter Jackson, colored, rejoiced

$4,000 MILE AUTO TOUR.
That Is What MFR. and Mrs. Hoover
OF California Are Taking.

After travelling 1000 miles in their
automobile since April II Mr. and
Mrs. H. A. Hoover of Los Angeles
have arrived here on a tour which is
to last four years, and cover more
than rs, 900 miles on land, and over
seas, says the New York Tribune.
They started in a 20-horse power
two-cylinder touring car, with a
camping outfit and provisions in the
tonneau, from Tiajuana, small
town, which marks the boundary line
between the United States and Mexi-
co, and travelled via San Francisco,
Portland, Spokane, Omaha, Chicago,
Cleveland and Buffalo to New York.
Except for a few discomforts in
the shape of poor sleeping accommO-
dations. worse meals and rough
roads, Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover said they
had thoroughly enjoyed the trip SO
far, and both looked to be in perfect
health and spirits on their arrival
here
The trip was not being taken, Mr..
Hoover said. as an endurance test or
to make speed records, but for his
health. He was taken i'll, he said
from Overwork, and had been or
dered to take a long trip and keep
in the open air as much as possible.

mere Is small doubt of that. The
senate and house are packed with
men who do not care for the shin

1t might be said in passing that
the passage of either of these Roose-
Veitlan measures would add millions
OF dollars to the budget. This. of
course, the president knows full we'll.
He is anxious for economy. He is
lmpulsive, though, in a thoroughly
lmpulsive fashion. Ever since he
was assistant secretary of the navy
the war fleets have been his play
thing and his hobby 1t has ever
been the habit of spoiled children to
cry for what they want.
More Things for the Navy.
That there are even more things
for the navy that are to be demanded
by the white house, and for the
grant of which the president is pre-
pairing to engage in another grapple
with congress. Although there are
two great GOLFERS about to be built,
each having capacity of 12,5OO
tons, Mr.. Roosevelt has made up his
mind he needs more Therefore,
congress will be called upon to ap-
propriate couple Of extra millions
for the construction of three more
of these coal-carrying vessels.
There is to be no quarter asked in
the struggle. Luckily there are
enough disgruntled republicans who
are Disguised with the presidents
bulldOzing tactics to make potent the
united opposition of the democrats
in both houses and the senate. 1t
makes little difference that those re-
publicans are men of such stamp as
Senator Hale of Maine, Gallinger of
New Hampshire and PenrOse of Penn
sylyania, or that one of their num-
Der on the house committee accused
his republican colleagues of undue
familiarity with the submarine boat
trust The fact remains that the
democrats, aided by the insurgent
republicans, may save the country
from a ROOseyeltian raid on the
treasury.
Made Enemies in Naval Fight.
The president made powerful enc
mics in his own party during the
naval fight last spring. He made
