FANS WILL HAVE TO
SPEND ! NIGHT OUI
ALL THE RESERVED SEATS FOR
WORLDS SERIES OPENER
ARE SOLD

New York, oct. 6.-This, the day
before opening Of the worlds series
baseball games in New York, found
the vanguard Of fans pouring into the
city on every train.
Baseball writers from far and near
trooped into the city for their annual
meeting this afternoon. There was
the usual talk that spectators had
secured a choice allotment Of reserved
seats. The casual fan who arrived
today found all the 5000 reserved
seats disposed of and nothing left
for him to do but get in line at the
Polo grounds early tomorrow morning
when The 10000 unreserved seats
were thrown open.
It was said that it was doubtful
whether snodgrass, the Giants center
fielder. who is suffering with a
charley horse, would be able to
take part in the series. Doyle's in
jured shoulder is in good shape and he
will be in the opening game. If snod-
grass does not play it is probable that
shafer will be in his place in the
field and Herzog will go to third
base.

Chicago, Oct. 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 the conclusion today
that his statement that he murdered
20 persons is an exaggeration.
Spencer is addicted to, the opium
habit, symptom of which is a
weird and grotesque imagination.
Some years ago the police had oc-
casion to investigate his condition
and learned that while in prison in
Joliet on charge Of larceny the
prison authorities Had regarded him
as mentally defective and from time
10 time confined him in the finfirm-
AIRY. He told fellow prisoners of
having committed several murders.
After he was released from the pris-
on he came to Chicago -nd Wished
detective headquarters where he said
he wanted to live square and asked
to be assisted to employment. He
told Frank Shennessy, secretary to
Chief Of Detectives Halpin, that he
had committed several murders
Shennessy identified him today and
said that at the time Of Spencer's
visit in search Of employment he
considered the man mentally un-
sound.
Dispatches from Detroit, Delavan
Lake, Wis, and Goshen, NJ Y, today
further shook official faith in the
confessions, Investigations at these
points, while not absolutely disprov-
ing spencer's statements, indicated
that there was little likelihood that
they were true.
Some time will be necessary, the
police say, before the truth in Spen-
GERS story can be srrted.
"Some Of his stories are probably
fiction" said Captain Halpin today.
but on the whole believe he is al
most as great a criminal as he claims
to be-"
The woman Spencer card 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 Decem-
Der, robbed of $50 and two diamond
rings, and who succumbed to her
injuries June 10, last.
The detectives and the police today
began their investigation Of the al
most unparalleled confession last
night Of Henry Spencer that he is
the murderer of more than 20 per
sons. Possessing evidence to support
his admission that he killed Mrs. Mil
dred Allison-Rexroat the dancing in
structor, on September %, the au-
thorities are convinced that they will
in short time confirm Sepncer's
guilt as to many if not all of the
crimes he says he committed.
After his Arrest last night for the
Rexroat murder which was made at
the home Of a woman who had noti-
fed the police Of his coming, detec-
tives went to Speneer's room where
they found the rattan suit case which
the tango teacher had taken with her
on her fatal trip to Wayne, III.
BY morning Spencer had asserted
that he had sent the following to their

JOY riding IN

Albert Williams Arrest

Savannah, Ga, Sept. 3.-Joy riding in
a night-hack, one of the slowest vehi-
cles that phys the streets of Savannah,

version. For some time joy riding has
been fashionable but it is generally
in high power gasoline cars.
With six women in the vehicle with

accused of stealing a hack belonging
to Mrs. Eady and driven by Ben Drake.
The joy riders scoffed at the poles.
They were still hilarious and prison
bars had no terrors for them.
Drake left his conveyance in front
OF the union station early in the night
While he skirmished for a fare. H.
was gone only few minutes. When
he returned the hack had disappeared.
He searched in vain for it and finally
notified the police.
Motorcycle Office McGinly was !e-
tailed on the case. He had no trou-
BILE in finding the joy riders after he
had gotten within a block of them.
They had stopped near an oasis pre-
paratory to resuming their ride. At
the police station Williams said Drake
had told him to take the hack and
enjoy himself. This Drake indignant

ton fresh from London was an enthus
iastic figure at Ponce de Leon Par.
| yesterday afternoon, and lifted hi,

cheer the Crackers.
I'VE don't have baseball in London,
said DR.. Broughton, "and it is a rar.
treat to be back where | can enjoy see
ing my old home team play"
DR.. Broughton will be here through
Saturday of this week, will visit other
Southern towns, and will be back n
London by October 1st.
The former Atlanta preacher, now
world-famous, says that the dress If
Atlanta women is not as extreme or
immoral as in New York. He SAYS h.
doubts very much whether the Devil
would enjoy a walk along Peachtree t.
the extent that His Satanic Majesty
would enjoy a like stroll on Broadway.
THE women who affect the. extreme
style of few clothes are but cotere
of rapid ones who do not in any way
represent the great bulk of American
women" declared DR.. Broughton wher
asked to further enlarge his views on
the interview he gave on landing IN
New York.
"The slit skirt, shadow dress and
other styles of dress or lack of dress,
can hardly be other than the devil s
own invention" he reiterated.
In sharp contrast to what Dr.
Broughton says, are the views of Dr.
Lincoln Mcconnell, who by a coinci-
dence, arrived the same day as DR.
Rroughton, to take charge of the Tab
ernacle pastorate which was DR..
Broughton's old charge.
DR.. Mcconnell takes the view that
many women do not mean to be "bad"
by wearing the slit skirt and other
canty garments. Modern woman J..
says, does not mean near as much by
Ter fads as people think. Neither is
'he bad nor has she given up her old
IDEAS of virtue. The fact that she
las gone to the extremes in dress as in
,ther things is simply an indication O;
he general trend of the times to throw
'ff restraint. People should not be
alarmed at the bad, for the
will swing back again, and
My then will we be able to understand
he good that has been reaped from
he present movement. Woman win {
