Phone Main ti SPENCER WAS HANGED AT DAYLIGHT TODAY . 1 1 Known ai the "Tango Murderer," He Confessed to Killing More Than Twenty Women in This Country. Wheaton, 111., July 31. Henry Spen cer, "tango murderer," and dubbed by criminologists "the man without a soul," went to death on the gnllows here today for the murder of Mr.. B" , " " T'lZ.1!,1.'

Only a small knot of spectators saw the death trap sprung. These Included a score of newspaper reporters and photographers from Chicago papers and a few inti mate friends of Sheriff Kuhns of Dd page county, who had charge of the execution. The trap was sprung at iw.a, anu epeucor was dead two minutes later. The crime for which Spencer pnid With his life, his Stlhsnmiant atnrrlinn confession that he had killed nearly a score or women in all parts of the country and the apparent cheerfulness with which he received thn vnli nt death, attracted national interest in his case.

Thon oy a queer turn of rate, the man who afterward described himsnlf hth "lady-killer" and a "woman-hater," was betrayed by a woman to whom he offered a $300 diamond ring he had taken from the body of the murdered Woman. Lured to the woman's hnm finosi was trapped and arrested by detectives after a desperate struggle. His trunk, in a rooming house run hv n,.i i. dorly eouplo on the South Side, reveal ed more evidence connftfltincp Him with the crime, and under a severe sweating uo uru&e uuwn ana contessed. Under skilful guidance from the po lice, Spencer, a weak-faced little man with rat eyes, recited a romarkablc crime record. He swore that he had killed more than twenty persons, most ly women, had robbed and assaulted many others, and had sot fire to a big apartment, causing the loss of another "Women, damn 'emt T lint wi They always played me for a sucker and I killed them just like flies," he screamed in one of his outbursts of passion. By communicating with AntWi;. all over the country, the In of Spencer's amazing tale was discred ited. In a few instances facts appar ently supportod his claims that he had ovuor muruer victims on bis famous death list. While he was recitinir hi story, the Rev. Johnstone Mevers, of Imraanuol Baptist church, came for ward to toll that Spencor had been a regular attendant at his church and had professed to be deeply interested in church work. Spencer's trial in the little brick courthouse hern u full nt thrills. He frequently rose in his seat to denounce the judge, his own attor ney and tho jury in outbursts of nrn. fnnity. Once he knocked his own at torney down in open court and his in cessant cry during the trial was: "Let's cut this damned foolishness and put on the necktie party. I 'm not nut ty, aud I'm willing to bo hanged." Against Silencer's own confcnsiiin and incriminating circumstances, thn defense could offer only a plea of in sanity and thnt Spencer was a victim of a police " frnme-up" and was bein gave this little consideration and on November 14 Spencer was found guilty ana sentenced to be hanired earlv in December. His attorneys secured a stay of execution and took an mmmil to the Illinois supreme court. On June 15, 1014, tho supremo court affirmed the lower court's verdict, ruling that evidence of Spencer's depravity was not sufficient to justify the opinion that he was insane. The supreme court used tue execution lor todny between the hours of 9 a. m. and a p. m. Since his imprisonment here, Spen cer has read the Bible daily and hns had weekly talks with church workers. He lias not changed his early declara tions that he was ready and willing to die.

WHERE FARMERS PROFIT BY SEED-TESTiNtr WOIva. During the three years of operation at Baton Rouge, La., the co-operntive ...... 1 ...u.:n I n l,nrol.irV rl .tlllllp.l thn number of samples of seed tested each vear. l.ast year mere were aooui vm tests made, and 90 per cent of them were for individual farmers. This is in marked contrast to the record at the Oregon Agricultural col lege, where fully 75 per cent of the tests made are on samples supplied by seed houses. Farmers have not been so readv to take advantage of the work Oregon as thev ' are in Louisiana, with the result that there is greater loss due to imperfect seed in this state. There is likewise greater neeo or seed testing in Louisiana. The viabil ity of many kinds of seed is greatly reduced by the heavy rains and hot weather. Northern grown seeds that keep their vitality well in the north rapidly lose it in the humid warmth of the south, and after a year alfalfa and clover seed are generally worth less for planting. But little of these crops are grown in the Ked river val ley, with the exception of crimson clo ver, which is grown on sandy lands.
