They're Not Prepared to Believe Twenty Murders. Chicago, Oct. 7 While the police are satisfied that Harry Spencer is guilty of 'many murders' besided that' of Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat, they were forced to conclude yesterday that his statement of murdering twenty persona is an exaggeration. Spencer is addicted to the opium habit, a symptom of which is grotesque imagination. Some years ago the police learned that while lie was in prison at Joliet on a charge of larceny, the prison authorities regard ed him as mentally defective and from time to time had confined him in the infirmary. He told fellow prisoners of having committed several murders. Pis patches from Detroit, Delavan Lake, Wis., and Goshen, X. Y., further shook official faith in the confessions. Inves tigations -at- these points, while not ab solutely disproving Spencer's state ments, indicated there was little like lihood that they were true. An inves tigation' which will require some time will be . necessary, it is said, before it can be determined just how much ot the prisoner's story is true and how much fiction. "Pome of "his stories probably are fie tion,' said Captain Halpin yesterday, "but on the whole I believe he is almost as great a criminal as he claims to be." The woman wnom epencer said, ne mur dered near the county hospital was shown by police records yesterday to have been Mrs. Annabel Wright, who was beaten on the head last December, robtwd of $50 and two diamond rings, and who succumbed to her injuries June 19 last. After being questioned for fourteen hours, during which the number of mur ders he confessed to having committed was increased to more than twenty, Spencer,, exhausted by tne ordeal, , was allowed to retire in a cell shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday for a few hours' sleep. He had been questioned without interruption by rolice Laptam iialpin and Assistant btate s Attorney buluvan in regard to the details of his criminal career ever since his arrest at 6 o'clock Sunday night. After the long siege he put his hands to his head and said: "I am too tired to remember any more just now. I got to have some sleep. The truth of the matter is that I killed so many I can't remember all of them." One of Spencer's victims of whom he told early yesterday was an unidentified man who accidentally brushed against him and whom he followed, robbed and shot dead. He draged the body into an alley and fled. This was last spring. Two months ago he is said to have entered a Park row saloon where he formerly was employed as a porter and killed a bartender with a hammer, lie did not give the bartender's name, but said he robbed the man of several hun dred dollars.

The newspaper Jiji Shimpo eays that negotiations are short ly to be reopened with the United States in the matter of the California alien land act. "Japan," says the pa per, "desiring to reach a fundamental solution of the California question and finding the acquisition of naturaliza tion for Japanese in California most difficult, is about to propose a iiew treaty with the United States. Form al negotiation, which have been delayed on account of Washington s preoceupa tion with the Mexican trouble and the tariff bill, will be begun at an early date." Buddhists assembled in mass meeting Sunday in the llongwanii temple adopt ed a resolution in the form of a mes sage to President Woodrow Wilson bear mi on the Japanese-American relations. The message which was forwarded to the president, was as follows: "for the sake of universal peace and the progress of humanity, which are the ideals of Buddhism, wc in paying horn age to the president, earnestly wish for the development of a friendship be tween Japan and the United States baaed on liberty and justice with the execution of religious and racial preju dices." Three thousand Buddhists were present. M.
