Curry placed $4,000 on a certain race.

beach. The principal part of the town,
which dozen years ago had a popu-

Snake river, with long finger extend
ing to the west along narrow
snadspit. This sandspit was rich in
gold dust, and the early settlers built
their cabins there.
OF late years the sands have been
worked out, and little except dredg-
ing operations, which require large
capital, is being done. Nome has pro-
duced more than $35,000,000 in gold

SLAYER'S VICTIMS
NOW TOTAL q.
Police of Other Cities Doubt
Spencer's Tale.
RExROAT STORY BELIEVED
Officials Rush Trial Of Arch-Murderer
for Killing Tango Teacher Near
Chicago-Part Of Confession
Is Confirmed.

Chicago, Oct. Henry Spencer
alias James Burke, confessed murder
er of Mrs. Mildred Allson-Rexroat
painted by himself as the arch-fiend of
the age and the slayer of at least
twenty-one persons remains a puzzle
to the police Of dozen cities.
While he slept as peacefully as a
baby in a cell at the detective bureau
after adding during the day to his re-
ctal of countless murders and hold
ups. his confession" was being rid
died in some respects and supported
in others.
Standing Of Confession.
Spencer's story of the killing OF
Mrs. Rexroat practically had been con-
firmed and he had been indicted for
the crime by the DuPage county grand
jury.
His statement that he had killed
a woman in 1912 near the county
hospital" was in part substantiated by
police records and a partial identified
ton.
Search of police records in many
cities had revealed that many of the
crimes confessed" by Spencer had
never been committed, or if they had
the bodies of the victims had never
been found.
Inquiry had established that at the
time Spencer told of committing some
crimes he was in the penitentiary.
Persons listed as victims" by
Spencer in his confession" have been
found alive
crimes" have been found in direct
variance with the facts known con
corning these crimes"
Staggered by Spencers first story,
and later by its contradictions through
Spencer and others, the police and
county officials are working with
open minds"
Doubt Twenty Were Killed.
They do not say that they believe
Spencer's story that he has killed a
score or more persons. They do not
say they disbeieve it. They are look
ing into records and making investi-
cations, willing that in the end the
facts shall speak for themselves.
One thing practically was settled
during the day That is that Spencer
will be placed on trial as speedily as
possible for the murder of Mrs. Rex
roat
The confession which he made con-
corning the murder Of the tango
teacher was confirmed in every essen
tial particular.
Half a dozen witnesses identified
Spencer as the man seen with the wo-
man the day before she was slain and
gave evidence which strengthened
Spencer's own account OF the affair
The murders of Mrs. Rexroat and
Mrs. Wight, the latter the woman
killed near the county hospital are
the only ones which have been au-
thenticated as possible crimes of
Spencer
Captain Halpin does not believe
that the failure Of the police Of other
cities to find records of the crimes Of
which Spencer has told means that no
such crimes were committed.

COUNTRY BANKERS
WAR ON MEASURE.
Financiers Break Silence at
Boston Conference.
REFUSE TO IND0RSE BILL
Even Fundamentals Of Glass-Owen Act
10 Sepudiated-BiIi Must Be
Amended or Institutions
Must Close.

Boston, Oct 7.-Broadside No. was
fired from the American bankers con-
vention at the administration banking
and currency bill. 1t came from tho
country bankers, the little fellows
as they call themselves, who up to this
time have remained silent while the
proposed law was discussed from the
point of view of bankers in New York,
Chicago and the other central reserve
points.
They came together for the first
time in really representative way
and former Governor Bailey of Kan
sas, who presided over the meeting,
predicted that their message would
be more potent in Washington than
any word that could come out of the
financial centers. 1t was distinctly
meeting of country bankers, for coun-
try bankers and by country bankers,
and no one who could not qualify UNI
der that classification had any voice in
the deliberations.
Will Appeal to Congress.
The meeting expressed its full APP
precation of the efforts of the admins
tration to revise the banking and cur
rency laws, but it expressed more en-
phatically its disapproval of the result
as embodied in the Glass-Owen meas
ure, recently passed by the house. The
resolutions adopted will be presented
in Washington later by a committee,
including one banker from each state
represented in the conference.
The meeting was organized by west
ern men and the fight for and against
was directed by bankers from Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
B. F. Harris of Champaign, H.,
moved that the bankers present be per-
mitted to say whether they would join
the federal reserve banks If the bill
were passed, but that vote was not ia
ken. AS soon as the opportunity was
given, however, the bankers voted al
most unanimously for the Rogers reso-
luton, demanding changes in the bill
as it stands and against approx of
the fundamentals, as suggested by Nc
rea.
Banks Might Quit Business.
In resolutions adopted at a special
conference more than 700 country
bankers attending the convention of
the American Bankers association and
claiming to represent rs per cent of
all banks in the United States, declared
that unless the Glass bill was amended
along lines they proposed very few
country banks, either state or national,
can afford to become members of the
new federal system"
This means, the declarations assert,
that the great majority of country
national banks must surrender their
charter or retire from business"
BY country banks, 1t was explained
in the call for the conference, was
meant state or national banks whose
capital is not less than s25, 900 or more
than $4,000
The resolutions object, among other
things, to the segregation of savings
deposits, the setting aside of separate
capital and the creation of two banks
under the same management and I'M
der one roof"
