STATEMENT
OF His Innocence is Made by
Dick Gill, Held for
Horse Stealing.

The statement of Dick Gill, the
young white man who is held in'the
county jail on charge of stealing a
horse, puts a new aspect on the case
and if the proper witnesses may be
produced, it is thought that he may
be acquitted. Ut is charged that Gil
stole a horse from from Claude
Wyckoff, farmer Of near Prunty-
town, here Saturday afternoon. He
sold the horse to Frank Rush for
$50. After Gill was captured and
the horse returned to its owner.
Wyckoff took over the $50 and al
lowed Rush to keep the horse.
Gill states that wyckon was intox-
icated and that he gave him the
horse and also his raincoat. Many
are inclined to believe his stateuenl
as he had the raincoat, which was
acknowledged to be the property OF
IWyckoff, but no mention was made
of this in the complaint to the po-
lice OF the stolen horse.
Gill was placed in the county jail
and was arraigned before Justice
Nicewarner for a preliminary hear
ing at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.

Committed by Spencer But
Not Twenty as Claimed
in Confession.
ADDICTED TO OPIUM
Habit and Part Of His Con-
fession is Believed to Be
An Exaggeration.

/ CHICAGO, Oct The police to-
day began their grnesome inyeatlga-
tion OF the almost unparalleled con-
fession last night OF Henry Spencer
that he is the murderer OF sixteen
persons. Possessing evidence to
support his admission that he killed
Mrs. Mildred Allison Rex Roat, lthe
dancing Instructor, on September
rs, the authorities are confident that
IN short time they will be able To-
connect Spencer with the many
crimes in his crimson career.
Following his arrest last night,
which was made at the home Of a
woman, detectives emit t6 hib room,
where they found the suit case,
which the tango teacher had taken
with her on the fatal trip to Wayne.
She was lured there on the pretext
that she was to instruct a class. I'm
It was part of her clothing and not
far away the revolver with which
Spencer ended her life.
While the police are satisfied that
Spencer is guilty of many murders
they were forced to conclude at the
close Of his examination that his
statement Of numbering twenty per-
sons is an exaggeration.
Spencer is addicted to the opium
habit, symptom which is grotesaua
imagination. Some time ago, the 20.
lice learned that while he was in
prison on a charge OF larceny. the
prison authorities had regarded him
as mentally defective and from time
to time had confined him in the in
Urinary.

Detroit, Lelayan Lake and Goshen,

the confession Investigation at these
points, while not absolutely dlsproy-
ing his statements, indicated there
was little likelihood they were true.
An Investigation, which will re-
quire some time. will be necessary
before it can be determined Just how
much Of the prisoners story Is true
and how much fiction.

WILSON AND ATTORNEY oENER.
AL MeREYNoLDs HOLD CON.
FERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE.
NOW CLOSED INCIDENT
Relief Expressed in Administrative
Circles Over Satisfactory Manner in
Which Issue Was Handled by Will
son.

Washington, d. c., June 25.--The
president and Attorney General Nc
Reynolds had a conference today to
select special prosecutor for the
Caminetti-Dggs white slave cases
and the Western Fuel Company in
dictments in the federal courts at
San Francisco. 1t was said that the
announcement of the special prosecu-
tor would be made before the end OF
the day.
Administration circles made no eff
fort to conceal the relief. Probably
no issue with which the phesident had
to deal since his Inauguration has at
tracted such widespread attention.
The presidents attitude now, it Is
said at the white house, will be the
selection of capable counsel to carry
the cases to trial which is sufficient
demonstration of the sincere wish of
the administration to have vigorous
prosecution. The presidents inten-
tion to secure Francis ]. Heney to
take the case will be regarded as
being especially desirable because he
has no political interests with the
administration.
Representatives Kent and Baker
have been mentioned as possible Sc
lections for prosecutors. With the
selection of a prosecutor and Nc
Nab's resignation, the white house
will consider these noted cases a
closed incident.

ONE PROHIBITS IMPORTATION OF
GOODS MANUFACTURED BY
CHILDREN.
A DRASTIC MEASURE
Senators Declare it to o. Greater
Protection Against ForeisE ,mpe-
tition Than the High riff
Rates.
Greater

Washington, D. c., June 25.-Two
far reaching amendments to the ad-
miuistrative provisions of the tariff
bill aroused opposition in the demo-
cratic caucus today
One was that prohibiting the i'm
portation of any goods, except the i'm
mediate products of agriculture, for
ests and fisheries, wholly or in part
manufactured by children under four
teen years of age. This provision is
declared by many senators to be the
most drastic protective measure the
manufacturer could ask, for it Is
greater as protection against foreign
competition than the high tariff rates.
The other was an amendment to
grant the United States court of ap-
peals concurrent jurisdiction in GUS
toms cases involving more than one
hundred dollars. With the customs
court also aroused to attention, some
democrats thought this proposal the
entering wedge toward the elimina-
tion of the customs court.
