 Boston, Sept. 1e.-Facing certain death in the electric chair some time after midnight, tonight, Bertram c. Spencer, who terrorfzed Springfield with series of burglarrfes ending fin the murder of Miss Martha Black stone, a schooIteacher. spent most of today in consultation with Guy g. Perkins, Christian Science reader.
 Spencer spoke casually but not slightly of the doom which awaits him in the dread chair a scant 10 wards removed from his cell in CharleStoWn prisons death house. He told his guards, this morning, after arising from a refreshing sleep. tha- he has wholly adopted the teachings and founder of Christian Science and that through Reader Perkins inter pretation of her readings, he has been given the strength and courage 10 face the unknown.
 In many ways. Spencer is one of the most remarkable criminals In Bay nearly two years he played the cou- bIe role of masked burglar and head Of household, working by day i'm a local packing company plant For nearly two years Springf7eId police were baff1ed at q series of bold crimes, including highway robbery A modu1ated tones would step from a dark corner and rob pedestrians at revolver point Or a woman would be alone in her home and the save nsskrd man would quietly appear and order her to gather up ali vaiua- bles and hand them over Spencer admitted before his trial that he ncv- CT entered house if he thought male members of the family were present If he found men present he would escape without attempting robbery or worse. It is now positively known that Spencer's only motive was not robbery.
 Since Spencer's conviction. the pO- lice have learned that many homes fly were absent were entered but that the cases were never reported. Men would find their wives ori other female members of their household bound fo a chair or to bed, in a hysteric1l condition, according to these storfes- which were learned here, today. for the first time and only the impor- tunities of the victims to save the women from the terrible publicity be made.
 Three such cases, a state police of- f1cfal declared here. today. arc known of, the details having come to him while he was working on the murd err. through various channels. The fact that Spencer stole lesg than $500 worth of stuff in the IS months he terrorized Springfield and suburbs and the fact that many articles of wo- loot in his home-this latter fact be- ing published. today, for the first tilne-tend to bear out the police stories that Spencer merely robbed Go cloak his real motive in entering houses

We may expect readiustmcnt, but
not revolution. That is tho keynote
of the whole-'a new point OF view
and a new method and spirit OF coun,
sci, but no excited change" Gov.
crnor Wilson is for meeting tho
changed conditions OF our life candid

strange form Of government.
We may expect the one great re-
form We have fully discussed and re-
solved on-tariT revision downward
made, indeed. without vindictlveness
or violence. but, nevertheless, "un.
hcsitatingly and steadily downward"
We may expect a policy with the
trusts and other great industrial COM
bInations and confedcracies equally
firm for justice, yet equally free from
any impulse OF mere destructiveness;
laws to prevent and punish unfairness
and wrongdoing, but none against
mere bigncss, none to arrest the natu-
raj course OF economic development
We may expect conservative pol.
icy which viii conserve without mere
boarding. which will prevent waste
and robbie y Of our natural wealth
but permit and encourage the proper
use OF IT,
We may expect a revision OF our
laws Of currency and banking. TO
make our system more elastic, more
modern and scientific. and more re-

We may expect, II we ourselves
have the virtue to play our part in
