Amount Of Rainfall.

Recent authorities assure us that
If all the rain which falls upon the
earth were allowed to accumulate in
a basin of the same area Of the terres-
trial surface, IT would almost be a col.
lection of eight feet deep at the end
of the year. The heaviest rainfall
known upon the earth occurs upon the
mountain slopes beyond the head OF
the Bay OF Bengal and amounts upon
the average to go inches, or nearly
81 feet, in the course of the year. One
inch Of rain implies fall Of 101 tons
of water upon each acre of ground.

CONFESSES MURDER.
BURGLAR Who Shot Two Women Makes
Clean Breast.

Springfield, Mass. April 6.-Bertram
Gage Spencer confessed today to the
murder of Miss Martha B. Blackstone
at the home Of Mrs. Sarah J. Dow IN
Round Hill, this city, last Thursday
night Spencer also confessed to the
commission of a long series of burg
laries. Miss Blackstone and Miss Har-
riet P. Dow, school teachers, were shot
by a masked burglar, who entered the
Dow home on the evening of March 81.
Miss Dow is recovering.
In his confession Spencer said he
did not intend to kill Miss Blackstone
or wound Miss Dow. He said that
when he saw the women in the house
he was frightened and that he fired his
revolver on impulse rather than with
any intention of injuring any one.
When asked why it was that he en-
tered upon such a career of crime,
Spencer said that after his first bur-
glary he was fascinated by the no
toriety attached to the crime.
Spencer was brought into the police
court this afternoon to answer formal
ly to the charge of the murder of Miss
Blackstone. He waived the reading of
the complaint and was held without
bail for continued hearing April Is.

sas avenue from Eighth avenue to
Ninth street was kept in one continu-
Gus howl, both from the results posted
on the bulletin boards and from the
use of a large megaphone and large
man from an upstairs window. As the
result on the commissioners was not
decided until the last precincts were
heard from the crowd lasted until the
last cars made their trips over the
city.
It was a noticeable fact that every
one of the successful candidates for
commissioner secured a better vote
than Mayor Green. The mayor re-
ceived a vote of 1900 and the lowest
successful candidate was able to mus
ter sc votes more than this. In the
majorities Billiard led with S39 over
Green. Miller followed with 613 over
Tandy. Bone led Holman with
margin of SO votes and Tandy led
Bone by 20 votes.
In the prim5r ry election over a week
ago Billiard led the ticket as he did
last night. Miller, Holman. Bone and
Bonebrake followed in order at the
primaries. miller kept his lead last
night, Holman dropped to fourth place.
Bone remained in third place and
Bonebra5e DIR )pped out of the race as
fifth. Tandv jumped up into the first

MAYOR FOR NEW SYSTEM
Gotham's Chief Executive Favors Sim
plified Spelling Plan.

New York, April 6.-Mayor Gaynor
has registered himself as a supporter
of simplified spelling. In a letter to
the Simplified Spelling Board. made
public here today, he qualities his ap-
proval of the aims of the simpliflers by
saying that he thinks Providence IS
opposed to sudden change.
Mayor Gaynor's letter Is as follows;
ST assure you that you do not have
to argue one moment with me to get
me in sympathy with your ideas of
simplified spelling. Our spelling has
been changing for centuries and will
continue to change. 1t will not change
suddenly, however. 1t seems to be con-
trary to the rules of providence that
even good things should be done sud
denly. How long He sat patiently
brooding over this earth before 1t was
fitI How slowly our bodies mature
and everything about us in the ma
terial worldt The same holds good IN
the intellectual world. All the good
growth is slow growth and even the
simplifcation of spelling must have It's
slow growth"

as usual He reached his office
plunged into the affairs of the Central
Milling company. Mr.. Billiard after
hearing the returns from one or two
of the big wards, retired confident
of election Tuesday night and enjoy
ed good rest.
Discussing his election with a
State Journal man this morning, the
mayor-elect said: Il want to thank
my thousands of friends for the lovaI
support they gave me at the polls.
Never at any time did I entertain a
doubt of my election for the simple
reason that 1 knew my friends were
going to stand by me and that their
votes would secure my success. 1
would. like to thank personally every
man and woman who voted for me,
but as this is impossible, I do it now
through the State Journal.
Il have not as yet considered any
matters with relation to the mayors
office. I simply have not had the
time. However, I want to say that 1
shall do my duty as I see it to the
very best of my ability and shall try
to serve the whole people of our city.
shall do my best to give the voters
clean, honest. business like admin
istration and ask the support of every
citizen to this end. I shall work at
all times for the uplifting of the city.
I'm taking office I have no enemies
to punish. I bear no man i'll will and
trust that everybody feels the same
towards me. I hope every citizen
will join me in an honest effort to
make Topeka a really great city. Again
I wish to thank every man and wo-
man whose vote helped elect me-
will Chief Eaton be retained as
head of the police department." Mr..
Billiard was asked.
Just at this time I can not say,
for the reason that I have given the
matter of his retention no considera-
tion," replied the mayor-elect.
1t is practically certain that Chief
Eaton will be let out as head of the
police. During the campaign just
ended the chief was an active worker
in Mayor Green's behalf and Of course
