ARRESTED, TELLS OF MURDER.
Frank Summers Confesses to Killing
Man in North Carolina.
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 14.?A murder
said to have been committed February
19, 1922, at Marietta, N. C., was
revealed here today by Frank Summers,
35, who told local officers thstt
on that date and it that place he had
killed Manning Ford. He made a signed
confession, according to the police.
Summers is being held in the local
jail for North Carolina authorities on
a charge of murder. He has waived
extradition.
The story of the killing as told in
the confession is in substance as follows:
Ford visited his home and that
fearing to disturb his (Summers's)
wife the men went out into the yard.
There a quarrel over whiskey resulted.
Ford struck at him with a stick
of lightwood and missed. Whereupon
Summers picked up an axe and
struck Ford over the head. ' Then as
Ford still lived he took the body several
yards from the house and placed
it on the ground. There Ford died.
Summers then took the body a quarter
of a mile further from the house
and placed it just off the side of a
little used road.
The murder to which Summers confessed
was committed in Robinson
r>nn n ttr Vnrfh Po rnl ino "hut anthnri
ties there know nothing of it, accord-"
ing to information from that place to
local officers. The belief of local offi
cers is that Summers buried the body,
although he denied doing so when
questioned.
In Corea a man is restrained by
law from keeping more than one
wife in his home at one time, though
he may have as many as he likes in
separate establishments.

HONOR FOR HEROES.
Visitors from All Parts of World Pay
Homage to U. S. Great.
Honor to Washington and Lincoln
is being shown by more than 1,000,000
people a year. Washington's
home, Mount Vernon, the mecca of
virtually all Americans and foreigners
who come to Washington, is being
rivaled as a shrine by the beautiful
Lincoln memorial, while the Washington
monument is the most popular
of the three shrfnes.
1
Visitors numbering 34,112 went
during July to the top of the Washington
monument, conveniently located
a few hundred yards south of
the White House. More than onefifth
of them clambered up the 898 i
steps in order to see the memorial
tablets on the various landings inside
the shaft. The remainder rode to the
top in the electric elevator which has
a capacity of 35 persons. More than
5,250,000 people have visited the top
of the monument since it was opened
for observation purposes October 9,
1888. No entrance fee is charged.
The Lincoln memorial recentlycompleted
and opened to the public
was visited by 31,383 persons during
July. Located in Potomac park directly
west of the Washington monument
is rather inaccessible for pedestrians;
visitors usually go there by
automobile. On a recent Sunday 2,000
persons were recorded as entering
the^great building. It is rapidly
becoming a shrine for tourists. No
entrance fee is charged.
Generalt George Washington's old
home at Mount Vernon on the Potomac
river in Virginia, IS miles from
Washington, long has been the mecca
of pilgrims from every point of the
world, who go by steambaot, electric
train and automobiles. Kept as near
ly In its original state as possiDie oy
the Ladies' Mount Vernon association
it is a delight to all Americans. During
July approximately 29,000 persons
visited Mount Vernon and during
the fiscal year admissions numbered
236,000. A 25-cent entrance
fee helps to keep the estate in its
first-class condition.
The house where Abraham Lincoln
died, located opposite Ford's
theatre at 516 Tenth street, Northwest,
this city, is another shrine visited
by many tourists. It was bought
by the United States in 1896 for $30,000.
