new AAA nnnnnnnrrnnnnnn ~ GET THE STAR FOR FIRST COMPLETE STORY OF WORLD SERIES GAME Hi The Star is prepared this year to give the people of Seattle wonderfully rapid and accurate service in reporting the world’s championship baseball series between the New. York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics. Its United Press experts will be in the press box at the Polo grounds, New York, when the game starts at 2 p. m. tomorrow. That will be 11 a. m. Seattle time. The story of the game, play by play, with a wealth of interesting detail, will be ticked over the wire into The Star office as it develops. The instant the last man is out in the ninth, we will go about the business of GETTING THIS PAPER TO YOU. Five minutes after the game has ended in New York, or Philadelphia, you will be able to buy a Star on the streets of Seattle and read the complete description of what hap- RICE pened. THE STORY OF EVERY PLAY IN THE GAME WILL BE TOLD. 9 Then, in later editions, we will supply other interesting matter, such as the story of the game in verse, written on the scene by the famous Berton Braley, and digests by Grantland Rice, sporting editor of the New York Evening Mail and contributor to Colliers and other magazines, and Hal Sheridan, veteran United Press baseball expert. All this, mind you, will be the REAL news of the contests, het off the bat, by REAL writers. The Star does not believe in fooling its readers by printing fake stories by players. Everyone knows the players do not write them, but only loan their names to the newspaper service that bids highest for their “services.” So watch The Star for the real news of the series. We have a hunch that we're going to give you a very good imitation of chain-lightning speed in getting the news to you first, and most completely. ew BRALEY Onn nnn RAIN TONIGHT AND TUESDAY; WARMER TONIGHT: HIGH SOUTH SHIFTING TO SOUTHWES T WINDS See tes nea Hi {lt i Here’s How We'll Do It! | Mi All Talking About It! iii With our more than 40,000 dally cireula. wi Ht : : | tlon, we're setting out, you know, to put on il!

Siwa'ttix EDITION. | ji guarantee you'll laug WHAT NEXT CAN THIS TOWN EXPECT FROM JUDGE HUMPHRIES2 In a remarkable statement issued by him yesterday, while the firemen were still engaged in suppressing the fire in the basement of the Times building, Judge John E. charged the men and women whom he has declared in contempt of his court with arson! Without one iota of evidence as to the cause of the fire, he charged them with knowledge of it and responsibility for it! ‘This, coming as a climax to the maudlin wanderings of this man on the bench, and his unprecedented conduct of the past few days, demands the immediate attention of the gover- nor of the state of Washington, even to an end so extreme as the calling of a special session of the legislature for purpose” of impeachment. Either this, or action by Prosecuting At- torney John E. Murphy. Or by the fellow judges of Judge Humphries, who have witnessed his pitifully futile attempts to administer justice. ER ae Poday, in a wandering, rambling interview with The Star, the judge added to his statement of Sunday that he had heard a bomb was y | KILL WOMEN JUST found in the basement of the Times, set to explode at 11 0’clock yesterday. The fire marshal has been able to find no evidence that the fire Humphries was incendiary. Remember that several defendants in the so-called “street speaking” cases before Humphries last week asked that they might be tried before another judge! They declared Humphries was prejudiced. Humphries indignantly denied it. So they had to submit. And they went to jail. Here is Judge Humphries’ statement. This is what he said, in part, when he heard the Times plant was afire: “In my opinion those persons who signed the petition of defiance to my court are guilty of the fire in the Times building, just as I warned them they would be. Murderer Boasts of His Record of) Butchery; Declares He Took Lives, of Thirteen Persons. CHICAGO, Oct. 6.—“Women—damn 'em, | hate ’em. | killed ’em just like one would swat a fly.” | This was the first statement today of Henry Spencer, who, according to his own confession, not only killed Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat, the teacher of dancing who was shot to death at Wayne, a Chi- cago suburb, last week, but 13 other persons as well. Spencer slept like a child last night, and after, breakfast was taken to police headquarters, where he was questioned by Chief McWeeney, Capt. Halpin! and Assistant State’s Attorney Sullivan. “Why did you do it, man?” asked Capt. Halpin. “Good God, hadn’t you any soul?” Spencer looked Capt. Halpin in the eye for 30 seconds before replying: "Listen, Captain,” he said. “Listen to my story. Some one brought me into the world—some one I never knew or saw. me and turned me into the street. I sold papers for a soul? No, I guess I never had one.” Spencer then reiterated the details of murders he says he has committed. | He showed no remorse, but gloated over the fact, that most of his victims were women. | “Women always have tried to play me for a sucker,” he cried. “But they always get left, and in each case paid for it with their lives. | They are no better than flies. God, how I hate ’em! | Chief McWeeny believes that Spencer murdered | at least four of the persons mentioned in his con-| fession. ' | “We have the goods on Spencer in the Rexroat case,” said McWeeny. “I also questioned him in regard to the murders of Patrolmen Pennel and Divine 12 years ago. I knew the case well, and Spencer gave sufficient details to convince me that he is telling the truth. I am also certain that he murdered a Mrs. Thompson here. He furnished me with details in this case that were never printed in the papers. ; “Some of the other stories possibly are ‘hop’ yarns, but I am positive he is implicated in four murders.” Following is a list of killings Spencer says he is responsible for, In addition to the Rexroat murder: One man and a woman, about 14 years ago. First wife, killed near West Point, N.Y. Patrolmen Pennell and Divine, of Chicego, killed 12 years ago Two girls, at Paw-Paw Lake, Mich. last August. | One girl at Lake Delavan, Wis. last summer. | One woman at Belle Island, Mich., last summer. One man shot and killed in Chicago this fall. One woman kiiled near the Cook county hospital here, a few days ago. “4 One woman shot and burned on the North West Side here, late last mmer. oe he greater portion of Spencer's confession is discredited by the olice, but they are convinced that he murdered Mrs. Rexroat and Spencer furnished many fresh and gory details Telegraphic advices, how Pp Ahree or four others ( tugay, increasing his list of alleged murders. ever, have caused an almost comp! as \ictime elsewhere are cencerned.

I warned Col. Blethen, but he said, ‘I’ve got three armed men guarding the place and they can’t do it.’ “I’ve tried to warn these Socialists and Reds. I told them in court that if buildings were burned or persons lost their lives after their defiance of the court they would be held responsible in both civil and criminal action for the fire, and for murder if lives were lost.” “It is the duty of the prosecuting attorney to file the informations, and the cases would come before Judge Ronald, not before me, unless they were referred to me; but I am an expert on conspiracy, and I say the signers of that petition are guilty, and no other evidence than the signing of that petition is needed to convict them of arson.” ais aes EXPLOSION OF GAS [wow iF MARIE ONLY WOULD weo| SEATS ALL SOLD FOR’ BLAMED FOR FIRE IN [SHE COULD REMAIN HERE INU.S.| FIRST SERIES GAME; NEWSPAPER PLANT | BATTERIES PICKED hai{ment seemed afi By Hal Sheridan ) Seats : shooting thre There is no doubt in the blaze ndowr Fire, believed by Fire Harry Bringhurst to have or an ’ | Commission Me: q through an explosion of gas in the of hose w | (Weitten for The United Press.)| The National Comtateaie met q stereotyping department in the into the NEW YORK, Oct. 6—The last & to dispose of the | basement of the Times bullding, at figure ha n figured and the last t problem.
