SEVERE PUNISHMENT
PROVIDED FOR SPIES
Bill introduced in House OF
Lords Is Aimed at Espion-
age During War.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, August 1.-THE text OF the
new official secrets bill, which drastically
amends the official secrets act Of 1889, and
Introduces fresh and stringent precautions
against espionage and attempts on rail-
ways, gas works and electric light works ir
and before war. has now been published.
It has been introduced in the house of
lords by Lord Haldane, secretary for
war. It is calculated to deal with such
incidents as the recent alleged sketching
OF Portsmouth fort by a German mill
tary officer.
The first clause provides that any per-
son who. for any purpose prejudicial to
the safety or interests of the state" ap-
proaches or is in the neighborhood OF any
prohibited places makes sketches.
plans. models or notes useful to an
enemy, or obtains or communicates
such information, shall be guilty of fell
ony, and be liable to penal Servitudo for
not less than three nor more than seven
years. Under the act Of 1889 the offense
was a misdemeanOr. and the penalty not
more than one years hard labor. except
where the offender was proved to have
communicated the Information or to have
intended to communicate it to foreign
state. In that case the offense was a
felony, with a penalty of not less than
five years Imprisonment nor more than
penal servitude for life.
Purpose to Be Presumed.
1t is provided in the new bill. though
not in the old act. that a person can be
convicted. 'if from the circumstances Of
the case or his conduct or his known
character as proved it appears that his
purpose was prejudicial to the
safety or interests of the state" and that
such a purpose shall be presumed where a
sketch is found to have been made or in
formation to have been obtained without
official sanction.
The third clause is of extreme fmpor-
tance, as it enables a secretary of state
to extend the term prohibited place" to
'any railway. road, way or channel. or
any place used for gas. water or cleo.
trfcity works." or a wide variety of
other places at which an enemy might
strike in the event of war. This part of
the bill is not to be found in the 1889 act.
and is a new departure. All shtpbuilding
wards and works where war material is
manufac ctured under contract for the gov
ernment are comprised.

oecial Cablegrsm to The Star

Special Cabegrsm to The star.
PARIS, August 12.-The guillotine has
been requisitioned again for the execu-
ton of a murderer. The execution took
place at Vitry le Francois, where a man
called Deviot paid the death penalty for
the murder of baker girl, Antoinette
Ketter, near Mitry, last January.
BY curious coincidence another man.
named Philippe. is to be executed at ST.
Mihiel for the murder of two baker girls.
on which account he was described as
"L'Assassin des Boulangeres." Both men
seem to have thought that baker girls.
after they had collected money from their
customers. were good quarry.
In one case one of the murderers found
q sum of $4OO in the possession of the
murdered girl. Deviot, after committing
this crime, fled to Rouen. where he was
captured, and he was tried moro than
two months ago. He applied to the presi-
dent of the republic for reprieve. but
this was not granted.
