MAYOR DENIES
RUMOR TODAY
Will Not be Candidate for
Sheriff Nomination

Political rumors still continue to
rise and one which is prevalent
about the city today is that Mayor
Ferd Garretson will be the candi-
date for sheriff on the Republican
ticket next year. In fact, the rumor
has been SO widely spread that 1t Is
being discussed In all parts of the
city today. y
Mr.. Garretson, however, set the
rumor at rest at noon today when
he declared to NEWS reporter that
he was not candidate for sheriff
and furthermore would not be under
any conditions. He said that he had
one more year to serve as mayor and
tended to step out of politics and de-
vote his time entirely to his business.
Mr.. Garretson has stated that he
would not be candidate for re-
election to the office Of mayor next
year, but whether he would turn
down a unanimous nomination for
sheriff Is another question. Friends
OF the mayor declare that he is the
strongest man the Republicans can
put up for the sheriff contest next
year and they believe that he would
be elected. Sheriff Bollschwe1ler un-
der the law cannot seek reelection
az q sheriff is not allowed to serve
more than one consecutive term.
The present deputy sheriff, Edward
F. Houghton, will seek the Demo-
cratic nomination next year and is
already making plans along that line.

WHY HE
KILLED WOMEN
Murderer Arraignsd In Chi.
caQo fer the Death of Tan
90 Instructor
REMARKABLE CONFESSION
Played Women for Their Dia-
mohds and They Played
Him for Money
Special By United Press wire.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-"Women, d
theml / hate them. They never
did anything but try to claim me for
fool. / killed them just like I'd
swat fly" Shaking his finger in
Captain Haipin's face, Henry Spen-
GER, parolled convict with string of
aliases, opium fiend and confessed
slayer of Mrs. Mildred Alison Rex
roat, tango instructor, today shrek
ed his accusation at the long list of
women he claims as victims. Spen-
Ger, who made his remarkable con-
fession to series Of between four
teen and twenty murders after his
capture last night, was routed out
of his cell box before breakfast to
day. Havn't you any soul?' asked
Captain Halpin. Someone brought
me into this world" he said, his
voice rising higher, Someone l
didn't know and ! havn't ever seen
her. She threw me into the home
for the friendless, then woman
adopted me and turned me into the
streets. Made me sell papers for a
living. Call that teaching you how
to get soul?"
Without interruption Spencer ran
on. He told how he made his first
appearance at Joliet penitentiary
how he came out with brainful of
burglar tricks and how he started
criminal career that lead him into
dozen prisons.
"But what made you kill these
women7"
What made me kill them?" he
screamed. "Why shouldn't l have
killed them7 they played me for my
money. l played them for their dia-
monds. Every time | saw a woman
with a diamond l wanted to kill her
on the spot"
Telegraphic information received
by the police caused an almost total
collapse Of Spencer's story, insofar as
1t concerned alleged victims In other
cities. Authorities In most instances
were unable to find any record of
the murders Spencer declares he
committed. Captain Halpin, of the
detective department, learned today
that while Spencer was prisoner
ut Joliet as Henry Stanzer' under
sentence for burglary, he spent sew
eral months in the department for
the crimnally insane. Whether Spen-
Ger is the wholesale murderer he has
pictured himself or the murderer of
only four, possibly but one person,
he Is, perhaps, the most puzzling
criminal the Chicago police have
dealt with in years.

Wilson Law Lets Asphalt in
Free and Reduces Lead !
Duty One Half
DEPUTY COLLECTOR TELLS
ABOUT ITS EFFECT
Means Receipts Of Office
Here viii be Diminished
$4,000 Per Month

Because the new Wilson tariff law,
part of which has already gone into
effect, provides that asphalt shall
enter this country free of duty and
that the duty on lead ore shall be re-
duced fifty per cent, and lead boul-
lion seventy-hve per cent. the custom
house receipts here will be diminish
ed to a mere average sum of $4,000
or 100000 per month, 1t Is estimated
by Deputy Collector George W.
Eggert. Last month, the best in the
history of the local customs house,
the total receipts amounted to more
than $4,000. The average monthly
collections for the last fiscal year of
the port ending June 80 were in ex-
cess Of $4,000.
Crude asphalt and lead have been
the chief sources of customs receipts
of the local port. There is an aver
age shipment of fifteen to eighteen
tons of asphalt through this port
each month, and hundreds of tons OF
lead ore and lead boullion.
Mr.. Eggert stated this morning
that the drastic cut in duties, max
Ing asphalt free and reducing the
duty ON ore and boullion lead would
mean decrease of between sixty
and seventy-five per cent. on the
customs receipts here. He stated
that there was a duty of $3.50 per
ton on asphalt, which alone would
mean an average monthly reduction
of thousands of dollars. Taking the
amount of duty collected last year by
this port, $60S,64S.11, as basis,
reduction of sixty-sex per cent, as
figured by the deputy collector,
would mean that in year the GUS
toms receipts would be reduced some
100000, and that the receipts
would show but approximately
100000.
