Chicago Officials Doubt Spen-
GERS Murder Yarns.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Of the nineteen
murders Henry Spencer, slayer of
Mrs. Mildred Acknowledgement, swore
he had committed, the police, after in
v%estigating his alleged crimes in va
rious cities, were able to fix upon him
only one murder or possibly two.
Captain Halpin, chief of the de-
tectivc bureau, announced his convic-
ton that Spencer, in giving his long,
cjrcumstantial confession of fiendish
crime, was a consummate liar.
-Four Of the murders he says he
committed were perpetrated while
Spencer was in the Illinois state peni-
tertiary at Joliet.
or twelve alleged murders the po-
lice in this and other cities have no
record.
III one case described by Spencer
police records show that a body was
recovered, but the detectives have es-
tablished no connection between Spen-
Ger and the crime.
Except for possibly two murders
Spencer's weird story of killing people
by hammering in their skulls and sink.

cation" said Captain Halpin.

IN NORTH DAKOTA
News Of the Week From Vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
FAILED TO CONCEAL CRIME
Charred Body of Stranger Recovered
From Hay Stack on Outskirts
of Grand Forks.

Men who shot and killed an uniden.
titled farm laborer, whoes body was
found partially concealed in a stack of
hay in the outskirts Of Grand Forks,
attempted to destroy the evidence of
their crime by burning the body.
With robbery as the motive the muir
derers had taken from the body every
possible clue to the victims identity.
That the murder occurred over a
week ago is the opinion Of the police.
About that time Mrs. c. l.. McCafrery,
residing less than 100 feet from the
scene, noticed several tough looking
men about the hay stack and called
the police. A search was made but
nothing was found.
After searching the body the muir
derers set the hay on fire, but for
some reason the flames failed to
spread, only burning about the vic.
TINS head, slightly disfiguring it.
No shots were heard in the imme-
date vicinity at any time recently
n 1T is supposed the body was car
ried there from some other part of the
city.

WOMEN May SEEK OFFICE
Expected to Campaign for State su.
perintendency Of Schools,

That there will be a woman candi-
date for state superintendent of public
instruction in the next campaign ap.
pears certain. In fact there are likely
to be several of them in the primaries.
if the mex six to nine months can be
judged by the present indications.
Ever since statehood the m

officials and to hold Offices of that ma
ture. There have been two women
state superintendent. Mrs. Laura ].
Eisenhuth and Miss Emma Bates, the
former a Democrat and the latter a
Republican.
These facts, added to the increased
sentiment favorable to women's suf-
frage, are being considered by the
women of the state. They appear to
believe the time is ripe to push for
ward a woman for the position of state
superintendent.
There are fifty counties in the state
and the position of school sup%erintend-
ent is filled by seventeen women.
