SCnMIDI'S CONFESSION
 READ INTO EVIDENCE
INSPECTOR RELATES MANNER OF PRIESTS CONFESSION OF
 MURDER OF WOMAN.

New York, Dec. 12.--Hans Schmidts confession of the murder of Anna Au- muller was read today into the record of his trial by Police Inspector Faurot, in command of the detective bureau. It was Faurot who arrested Schmidt and to him the one-tlme priest told the story of his crime
 Leaving the witness chair. Faurot stepped before the jury box and with dramatic gesture and word re-enacted the scene of the confession. From his seat in the prisoners dock, Schmidt viewed the unusual procedure with un- changed stolidity of expression
 T slapped Schmidt on tue back when I first saw him." said the in- spector, "and said come, now, tell us the whole truth about the thing. Schmidt sank into a chair buried his lace in his hands and befan to cry. Presently he said, I Killed her because loved her.
 Before we left Schmidt tried to embrace Father Quinn, who was with me, but Father Quinn avoided him. Father Quinn asked, Are you a regu- larly ordained priest of God?' and Schmidt replied, I was ordained by St Elizabeth

NO POLITICAL INTEREST.

After city primary election held during the week. the 12 members of the City Democratic Central Commit. tee were summoned to meet Friday night and canvass the returns. Four assembled Seven constitute a quo rum. After waiting some hours, the four made canvass of the returns and certified the nominees.
 Consequently all the trouble that has resulted in this city and county from the lack of political interest on the part of the public. and the extreme interest on the rart of politicians, il would be natural to believe that at least political situations would attract some attention.
 It was q compliment to the four members of the committee that the other eight members were willing tc ~Nt'i ee hOAiAo anu lGN luC tOua SpCdh for them. Of course, there was nc anticipation that fraud would be ever considered, so the majority stayed away
 It is not compliment, however, {, party enthusiasm, or interest in pub lie affairs.
 Vigilance is necessary if conditions once made good are to be kept good The moment there is laxity of pub lie watchfulness there crops out a, earmark of a politician looking t, serve himself and his interests. It r not alone true of Hot Springs, but 0 everywhere.
 Frequently it has been said that public meeting of consequence in Ho Springs is impossible unless politlc are involved Is it getting to wher even matters of politics fail to arous the concern of the dear people?

OCEAN-To-oCEAN.

The part that Hot Springs, and Ar- Kansas, for that matter, is to play in the great Ocean-to-Ocean highway, is left to the cooperative and concerted action of the county judges of the va. rous counties along the proposed tran of this road through Arkansas. Some weeks ago President Potter of the Southern Highway Association urged the people to prompt action. He was not sure the highway would touch Ar. kansas unless the state did something C. encourage the improvement. The state can do nothing without a legis- lative session, and the situation now is up to the county judges The gov ernment does not build this road
 itself No state would have the rig
 to expect the government to do so. The plan is that the states shall each furnish a good connecting route. Of as good road as it can produce under the circumstances, and that the govern ment then shall supervise all the lat ter construction. surface the roads, and probably do HALF as much or more than the state has done. But the initiative is with the state Ar. kansas must wake up or be left out

 Newlands, it is said. after the con ference expected the president to trans init some recommendation to his com mittee early in the December session Thse probably will materialize after the president consults Attorney General McReYnolds and some prominent law yers outside official circles, who have been studying the problem for years.
 Today's discussion with Chairman NewlandS was of a general character. bringing forth no particular scheme of legislation. The president and secre- tary examined the history and argu- ments presented for and against the various pending bills which would sup plement the sherman anti trust act by providing for the prevention of hold ing companies, stock watering and dis crimination prices, regulation of the size of business and a definition of the word ''reasona ble" as used by the su- preme court of the United States.

Think Spencer Lying

Of the nineteen murders Harry Spencer. slayer of Mrs. Mildred Al~ lison Rexroat. sWore he committed, the police after investigating his all legged crimes in various cities are able tonight to fix upon him only one murder or possibly two.
 Captain Halpin. chief of the de- tective bureau announced the con viction that Spencer in giving his long circumstantial confession of fiendish crime, is a falsifier. Four murders he said ne committed were perpetrated while Spencer was in the Illinois state penitentiary at Jo- Iiet Of the twelve alleged mur- ders. the police of this and other cities have no records.
 Captain HaIpin declared tonight he had complete proof that Spencer murdered Mrs. ReXroat and almost equally confident ne murdered Mrs. AnnabeI Wight.
 Spencer was in the penitentiary when Policemen Pennen and DeVine were killed on August Il, 1902. He also was in prison in 1908 when Fannie Thompson was killed and when Emmett McChesney was killed in September. 1911.
 
 as the murderer of Mrs. ReXrOat came from several different sources today, while d t least two sections of his confessions, referring to the rob berries were confirmed by visitors at detective headquarters
 C. A. Goodwin. of Wheaton, H.. identified Spencer as the man who had ridden with Mrs. ReXrOat on the seat behind him from Chicago to Wayne, IL, on the night Mrs. Rex roat was murdered. Spencer's voice was identified a s the drawling voice that had called up Mrs. Johnstone, Mrs. Rexroats landlady. and through her had made up the engagement that led the dancing teacher to her death.
 In his confession Spencer described the Wight killing at length. Tn the latter part of January" he said, T was proving around De fbalb and Leavitt streets about noon when l saw a sign in the window rooms for rent" I went in and met a woman there who took me upstairs

Lured from Home By Tele- phone Former School Teacher Meets Weird Death on Prarie in Out skirts of Chicago.
NO TRACE FOUND
 OF CRIMINAL
Self Confessed Slayer of Mrs. ReXroat and Others Harry Spencer Declared to Be Monumental Falsi- fer By Police.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

| CHICAGO, oct. 6-Miss Ida c. Leegson. an art student, whose nude body was found on the prairie west of here yesterday was lured to her death by some man who telephoned her in response to her advertisement for d place as a nurse. This is the conclusion of the police tonight af- ter more than tWentN-four hours in . search, which resulted. the police said in no trail to direct them to the murderer.
 A thin silken fish line found near her body and q bruised circle it left around Miss Leegson's neck, showed the manner of her death, her tattered clothes streWn half a mile along the road approaching the prairie and the bruises on her body indicated that death came only after she had made a hard struggle, but nothing was found to show by whom Miss Leegson had been induced to visit the lonely spot in the western outskirts of the city.
 After giving up her position as school teacher. in Mason City, Iowa, on September 29, Miss Leegson came to Chicago and engaged room with Mrs James r. Burnett. saying that she was going to try to earn more money to continue her art studies. On Saturday, she placed an adVer- tisement in a paper asking for place a trained nurse.
 Saturday afternoon, telephone call came from a MT Wilson" who, when told Miss Leegson was out, in quired closely after her personal ap- pearance. An hour later he called again and asked her to go to a point on the west side to care for his wife. She left in answer to the call and was not heard from again by her friends.
 The street address given by MT. Wilson" proved to be a vacant lot on the prarie.
 The possibility that Miss Leegson was Iured to her death by an or ganized band of white slaVers' while being investigated by the DO lice, is not believed by them to of fer a solution of the mystery.
 Miss Leegson's hand satchel was found today a block from where the body was found. It had been slash ed with a knife and its contents eX cept pair of stockings and a piece of soap removed
