kilograms from the police of other
cities were necessarily only prelim-
mary. In fact, the efforts of the po-
lice seemed to lead them. not to the
solution of mysteries, but into a maze
of crime through which there were few
clews to lead them.
HOW MURDER LIST CHECKS.
The result of this work yesterday,
set off against the stories told by
Spencer, is as follows:
Spencer declares he robbed and
murdered two girls last August at
Paw Paw Lake, Mich; got 500 worth
of diamonds from one.
Officials at Paw Paw Lake, Benton
Harbor, ST. Joseph and South Haven,
Mich, wired the police that there was
no record of the murders and that the
only thing that indicated crime mys-
terry was the finding of a woman
foot on the beach near St Joseph.
Spencer told of robbing and murder.
ing woman with a hammer at Belle
Isle, between Detroit, Mich, and Wal
kerville, Ont.
Police officials of Detroit and Walk
'ersville reported by wire that they
never had heard of any such murder
but the Chicago police say that this
does not disprove Spencer's story.
Spencer told of killing a woman
near the county hospital" using a
hammer.
Police records show that Mrs. An
nabelle Wight was attacked by man
with a hammer, Dec. 4, 1912, robbed
a. | died in the county hospital in
July, 1913. Spencer said he got S40C
and two diamond rings from the muir
! dered woman. Police records show
only $50 and two diamond rings were
| taken.
DENIES THOMPSON STAYING.
Spencer told of robbing and muir
dering a former wife near Ossining
N. Y. No word from there has beer
received
Spencer told of killing Fannie
Thompson, Jan. /, 1908, a crime fol
which Luman c. Mann afterward wal
tried and acquitted
Later he denied any knowledge o
the crime, but said that ne had beef
a witness for Mann and that the won
en- he was talking about was a Mrs
Tomlinson."

Hear F. c. Terry, Assistant Secretary
of the Brooklyn Central
Association.

Preliminary to the opening of the
physical department of the Y. NJ. C. A,
so leaders in the work enjoyed a ban
quet at the association house last even
ing. There was a good deal of en-
thusiasm manifested. R. B. Lourie, as
chairman of the physical department
committee, presided and after the din
ner introduced the speakers.
F. c. Terry. assistant physical direc-
tor of the Brooklyn Central Y. NJ. G. A,
was first speaker He gave his i'm
pressions of the three cities, having
been here for the last two months. At
times, he said, he has thought he was
back in New York city, so quick have
the people here been in the adoption
of metropolitan ways. The spirit of
the west appeals to him, he said.
The Brooklyn association has $500
members, of which 1900 are enrolled
in the physical department. Soccer
and indoor hockey are favored there,
the latter being preferred to indoor
baseball. Giving of prizes is discour-
aged, it being generally felt that sport

Mr. Lourie declared that members
of the Moline association have not
heretofore awaited themselves of all
the privileges that are open to them.
He urged them to make an effort to
get more of what the association has
to offer.
General Secretary o. f. McLaugh-
lin and F. F. Pierson, physical secre-
tary, spoke of the work of the associa-

The athletic season opens this after

dogs, and the boy soon had him out
again. but as the thermometer was
then about 20 degrees below zero the
possibility of saving his life seemed
very remote. He was wet through,
of course and before n fire could have
been got well alight the chances were
that he would have frozen to death.
The resonrceful boy thought OF
better plan than that. The explorer
was already scarcely able to move. but
the boy took one of the dogs out of
the traces and forced the archdeacon
TO take its place. Then he dashed the
unfortunate mans legs until he was
compelled TO run. applying his whip
mercilessly every time the archdeacon
showed signs of tagging.
In this way the boy kept him NOV
ing rapidly toward their camp. and
by the time they reached it the terrible
languor of death that had threatened
TO overcome the archdeacon had been
shaken off.-Pearson's Weekly.

During the summer a new two-story

expected that this will be ready
about Nov l. Then room for
the pupils will be adequate for a
time, at least The new school is of
brick. Until this year two teachers
have been able to do the work, but this
fall a third was decided to be neces-

EXECUTE A COUP
FOR A NEWLODGE
East Moline Masons, Failing to
Get Silvis' Consent, Go to
Coal Valley.
APE SUCCESSFUL THERE
Special Dispensation to Be Asked Per-
hitting Forming of organiza-
ton This Week.

Silyis Masons will not be able long
er to prevent the forming OF lodge
in East Moline if the alert members
of the fraternity in the latter city
can help it. Postmaster Frank Glen
denim left this morning TO endeavor
to secure a special dispensation from
the grand lodge to permit of the hold
ing of a meeting Friday night for the
purpose of instituting a new lodge.
Mr.. Clendenin and others put over
what they consider a coup last
night. To form a new lodge it is nee
essary TO secure consent of three
nearby lodges. Moline and Colona
Masons had waived objection, but no
action had been taken by the Silvis
lodge. Last night there should have
been a meeting at Silvis, at which the
necessary permission would be voted,
it was expected. East Moline Masons
were on hand to press their request
but there was no meeting. no notices
having been sent out, it was claimed
Not to be thus baked in their eff
forts to secure early action Mr.. Glen
denim and others secured an automo
bile and hurried on to lay their case
before the Coal Valley lodge, which
was in session. Coal Valley Masons
readily gave their consent thereby
fulfilling. it is believed. the terms re
quired for the forming of the Eas'
Moline lodge.
Masons of East Moline to the mum
Der of 40 met last week and effected
temporary organization, electing Off
GERS, but that is as far as they can e
till the grand lodge takes favorable
action.
