MURDERERO Of 70
|. LOOKS LIKE CLERK
Police Have Trouble Believing
Gruesome Story Told
by Spencer.
THINK HIS IMAGINATION
HAS Heightened LIST
Confessed Slayer Of Mrs. Rexroat
Declares He Enjoyed Taking
Human Life.

CHICAGO. October 6.-While the police
are satisfied that Harry Spencer is
guilty of many murders besides that of
Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat, they were
forced to conclude today that his state
ment of numbering twenty persons is an
exaggeration.
Spencer is addicted to the opium habit,
a symptom of which Is grotesQue imagi-
nation. Some years ago the police learned
that while he was in prison at Joliet on
charge Of larceny the prison authorities
had regarded him as mentally defective
and from time to time had confined him
In the infirmary. He told fellow-prison-
ers of having committed several MUIR
ders.
Associated press dispatches from De-
troit, Delavan Lake, Wisconsin and
Goshen, n. Y, further shook official
faith in the confession. Investigation at
these points, while not absolutely dis
proving Spencer's statements, indicated
there was little likelihood that they were
true.

CASH FOR SCHOOLS
Being PARCE[ED
One of Biggest Tasks Before
Commissioners in Making
Up Budget.
EDUCATION FOR BLIND
ONE. OF NEW PROBLEMS
Provision Also May Be Made for
Children Afflicted With
Tuberculosis.

The Commissioners today commenced
work on what is probably the biggest
annual task connected with the prep
aration of the estimates that of ascer-
tanning and providing for the needs of
the public schools of the District of
Columbia.
They held an all-day conference
with DR.. w. NJ. Davidson and Henry p.
Blair. Ernest L Daniel and Mrs. Susan
r. Rhodes. members OF the ways and
means committee Of the board Of edu-
cation, and probably will arrange for
other meetings before the school bud
get is completed. The total amount to
be asked for the schools Is understood
to be between $s,000.o0o and $3,500,o00
New Question to Consider.
Some of the new questions which the
Commissioners will consider with the
board of education members relate to
the providing Of school for tubercu1ous
children and to the proposed educating
Of blind children in the local public
educational institutions.
They must also decide on the amounts
Congress will be asked to furnish, in
addition to the initial appropriations made
last year, for the construction OF the
new Central High School and the
Street Colorcd High School.
There will be recommendations for new
buildings to be considered, but the board
of education has not made public its
schedule in this respect.
It Is regarded as fairly certain. however
that the Commissioners will include an
item for the construction Of q sixteen
room building In the Park View neigh
borhood similar recommendation was
made in the last estimates, but Congress
failed to appropriate for the Improvement
May Ask Special School.
In view of the Commissioners order
prohibiting the attendance at the public
schools OF children suffering with tuber-
culosis in communicable form. 1t Is re-
garded as practically certain that they
will ask Congress for special building
for children afflicted with this disease
The proposal to educate blind children
in the public schools has number OF
supporters, and the District heads have
been obtaining data in regard to the mat
ter. At present the appropriation. for the
education Of the blind is made as char
ity appropriation. so that pupils belonging
to this unfortunate class are sent out of
the District to special institutions.
1t is claimed that the stigma or pauper-
ism is added to the misfortune of blind
ness by this method. The Commission
ers are investigating the facilities for in
structing the blind that would be offered
by the local school should change be
made in the system now in vogue.
Congress last year appropriated 100000
of the $1,2OO.OO0 to be required for the
building Of the new Central High School,
and the Commissioners must decide on
the amount Of the next instaliment to
be requested. Plans for this building
have been completed and construction
work probably will be started in De-
cember, it is announced.

Think Victims Are Many

An investigation that will require some
time will be necessary, it is said, before
it can be determined just how much OF
the prisoners story Is true and how much
fiction.
"Some of his stories probably are fc-
tion,'' said Capt. Halpin today, but on
the whole believe he Is almost as great
a criminal as he claims to be-"
The woman whom Spencer said he mur-
dered near the county hospital was shown
by police records today to have been Mrs.
Annabel Wright, who was beaten on the
head last. December, robbed of $50 and
two diamond rings and who succumbed
to her injuries June 10 last.
Following his arrest last night for the
Rexroat murder, which was. made at the
home of a woman who had notified the
police of his confession, detectives went
to Spencer's room. where they found the
rattan suit case which the tango teacher
had taken with her on her fatal trip to
Wayne. She was lured there on the pre-
text that she was to instruct class in
the new dance. In 1t was part Of her
clothing. and not far away the revolver
with which Spencer ended her life.

aside for special purposes. Mrs. Alb

$3.50, 900 when she died.
Mrs. Abrams was a daughter Of

1t is now a certainty that the Con-

ties agreed to ratify the bylaws and

In favor Of ratifying the conetitution
and bylaws.
Hopkins county held meetings In
three districts and all unanimously
voted for ratification.
In Webster county two out Of five
districts voted to ratify the consifu-
ton. In the Slaughterville distrtet,
there was a tie. 1t Is believed, how
ever. that the growers in the three
districts that voted against the ad-
option of the constitution, will yet
approve it, as a number OF the mem-
bers present stated after the meeting
that if the majority in both the
Stemming and the Green River dis
