WHY BUTTER ADVANCED
President of Elgin Board of Trade
Gives the Reason, and Also
Why It Came Down.

Washington. April 6.-Denial of the
charge that the Elgin board of trade
regulated the butter market OF the
country was made by John Newman,
president of the board of trade. in tes-
tifying before the Senate cost of living
committee today
Mr.. Newman said the board fixed a
price every Monday for the product of
its members sold during the week, but
that the New York and Chicago mar
kets had much to do with the prices
of butter made elsewhere than in the
Elgin district.
Merchants and labOrers were eatiag
a higher grade of butter, Mr.. Newman
said, which, taken with the increas ed
prices of corn. hay and oats, accounted
for the advance in the price of good
butter
Explaining the remarkable six-cent
drop in the Elgin product from Mon
day to Monday last January, Mr.. New
man said it was made to make the Ell
gin conform with the New York prices,
which had been gradually decreasing
during the week. He said great
quantity of butter was held up by
snow storms on the way to market
during that week and when it finally
reached its destination the market was
overstocked.

In his amazing confession. Spencer
makes it clear that associated with his
overpowering desire to steal were an
intense love of excitement and a high
degree of personal vanity. This latter
trait Spencer gratified by battling the
police aAd reading the newspaper ac-
counts of his exploits.
The accounts of his daring crimes
fascinated him and fostered his ego
tism. The police say ne is a morphine
fiend
An clement that entered into Spen-
GERS crimes was a desire TO secure
money to purchase elaborate furnish
ines for his home in West Springfield,
where he lived with his young and pref
ty wife.
While admitting the killing of Miss
Blackstone. Spencer said he did not in
tend TO shoot her. but had lost control
of himself when she shrieked repeated
". Even then. he asserted. he fired
only to frightcn her and the three other
women who confronted him in the Dow
houes.
