COAL RATE PROTEST FILED
Wisconsin Paper Makers Ask For Re-
adjustment at Hearing Before
State Commission.

Madison.-Wisconsin paper makers
were given a hearing before the rail
road commission upon their petition
asking for an adjustment of coal rates
in Wisconsin. Some years ago, after
a hearing, the rates were reduced I'M
der a group plan whereby the freight
charges on coal were the same from
all ports, that is, the rate from Mil
waukee, Manitowoc, Green Bay or SUI
perior was the same. Now the rail.
roads ask that the rates for distances
that are materially shorter than from
the more distant ports be made lower,
contending that the group system as
applied to those localities in which
the paper mills are is not a reason
able scheme. 1t appeared from testi-
mOny at the hearing that more than
SO per cent of the coal used in the
Fox River valley is shipped from Mil
waukee, Notwithstanding the fact that
the ports of ManitOwOc and Green
Bay are much nearer. The railroads
contend that the present arrangement
is the best, not only because it is
established but for the reason that
any other arrangements would result
in giving causes for complaint to par
tiCular localities.

SLAYER'S VICTIMS
NOW TOTAL q
Police of Other Cities Doubt
SpenCer's Tale.
RExR0AT STORY BELIEVED
Officials Rush Trial of Arch-Murderer
for Killing Tango Teacher Near
Chicago-Part of Confession
Is Confirmed.

Chicago, Oct. s. - James Burke,
alias Henry Spencer, confessed MUIR
derer of Mrs Mildred Allison-Rexroat,
the tango teacher, has now confessed
to total of twenty-one murders. 1t
is now believed that the only person
he murdered was Mrs Rexroat
While he slept Monday night as
peacefully as baby in cell at the
detective bureau after adding dur
ing the day to his recital of
countless murders and holdups, his
confession" was being riddled in
some respects and supported in 9TH
ers.
Spencers 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
woman in 1912 near the county
hospital was in part substantiated by
police records and 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.
Stories told by Spencer of his
variance with the facts known con-
corning these crimes"
Staggered by Spencer's first story,
and later by it's contradictions through
Spencer and others, the police and
county officials are working with
open minds"
They do not say that they believe
Spencer's story that he has killed
score or more persons. They do not
say they disbelieve it. They are look
ing into records and making invest1-
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 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.

CAMpt{A NB}S,
AND WAR u
FIRST SHOT AT GETTYSBURG
Honor for Opening Famous Battle
Claimed by Capt. j. {. McCabe,
18th Pennsylvania Cavalry.

Capt. J. E. McCabe, 18th Pa. Cav,
claims for his regiment the honor Of
opening the battle of Gettysburg. Blu
ford marched into Gettysburg June
so and halted in the field near the
Seminary About o'clock General
Thomas Devon, commanding the Sec
ond brigade, came to the colonel Of
the 18th Pa. and ordered him to send
out his men on the different roads to
find any Confederates who had passed
through the town some days before,
says the National Tribune. Co. A, Of
which Comrade McCabe was a mem
Der, was sent out on the Harrisburg
Pike under command of Lieut.. John
Sweeney 1t went several miles, when
it ran into the advance Of the enemy
coming back. The company fired into
the advance and there was a picket
line put out with Co. B on the pike.
Nothing more happened until the
morning Of July l, when Hills men
attacked Co. B, which sent back for
help The whole Of Deven's brigade
was saddled up and rode over the
the 18th Pa. on the right, where the
regimental monument now stands, on
the Harrisburg road The 9th N. Y.
came next and then the 9Th n. Y. They
stood there for some time and were
ordered to put fresh caps on their
pistols and load their carbines. Soon
Heath's men came out Of the woods,
and when they were near enough the
firing began. The enemy was held I'm.
til they got too strong, when the bri.
gade fell back to the top of the hill
and dismounted, sending the horses
back. They got behind a stone wall
and held the enemy for long time (
They had been fighting several 'af
before Gen. Reynolds came U VI
the First Corps and went in
left. The line was held until the
Eleventh Corps came up, about ]
o'clock, and went into position on
the right. The regiment then fell
back into the town, with tho cavalry
lighting all through the town. There
was enough glory at Gettysburg for
everybody, and veterans should not
claim credit for what belongs to 9TH
ers. Capt. McCabe, in the last year
of the war, was with Sheridans
scouts, with Maj H. H. Young of Sher-
idan's staff. He had under him so
men in full rebel uniform, and some
of them were always in Lees lines
With four Of his men he located Lees

House and reported the Cesse to S&eri- J.
dan. They captured the train and

Nome. Alaska, Oct. 8-TWo miles
of water front OF this city was
almost completely destroyed by a ter
rife wind and rain storm Monday.
Front street. the principal business
thoroughfare, suffered heavily. NO
nqas are reported lost. The sandspit Is
gone.
The storm that began at night
betting in from Behring sea was the
worst ever known here. Men and
women worked all night in the icy
N2ter to save their household effects.
IL, electric light plant was wrecked
auH telephone service cut off. The
loc. is estimated at $1,500,000.
There will be much suffering, and
out.lde help will be required Win
tc is at hand, and it will be impos-
81! .e to get in supplies needed.
The steamships Victoria and Cor
wiz, which we're lying in the road
stead ran to the open sea and es-
capped damage. All the small boats on
the beach were destroyed. Five hun
,dred houses have been demolished
and more are falling.
Nome, the famous gold camp on
Behring sea, the most northerly city in
the world, was built on a sandy SEA
beach. The principal part of the town,
which a dozen years ago had a popu-
lation of 10000 is on the east side of
Snake river, with long finger extend
ing to the west along a 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
dust
The summer population of Nome is
about 1000, and in winter 1000 re-
main. the others coming out on steam
ships that leave late in October. 1t
