STATESMEN PLAY BALL.
House Democrats Defeat Republican
Team, 12 to 9.

Washington, Aug. s.-About the
weirdest thing in the way of base
ball game ever seen in Washington
took place on Georgetown University
field between teams representing the
Republican and Democratic sides Of
the house. The Democrats won. u to
8, in four innings. They made eight
hits and so many errors that Uncle
Joe Cannon, the scorekeeper, got writ
ers' cramp trying to tally them.
The Republicans swatted the ball
safely twelve times but were nearly
all butter fingers when it came to
fielding. The contest might have last
ed awhile longer If most of the play
ers had not been winded. for several
of the 500 spectators who paid 81 each
to see the game, which was for the
benefit Of the Washington play
grounds, were still left In the grand
stand at the finish. But there were no
protests when Representative Wilson
Of Illinois, the Republican umpire, and
Representative Byrnes of Tennessee,
the Democratic arbiter, agreed to call
time.

the Chelten avenue station OF the
Pennsylvania railroad.
James Mahoney. who is eighteen
years old, has, according to the neigh

ed that she also believed her son had
eloped with the woman. Middleton
himself was aware of the couples al.
legged infatuation for each other. and
one night when he met them returning
from a moving picture show thrashed
Mahoney soundly. 1t is the hope of the
local authorities that the couple may
be intercepted at Chicago and re.
turned to this city.
Middleton learned that his wife had
left him when he returned to his home
at o'clock Saturday morning from
his run and found the house vacant
with the exception of trunk which
contained his clothes. Lying on the
trunk was a note signed by his wife
and which read as follows: Don't
believe all you hear from the neigh

turn. I am through with all men" He
inquired from the neighbors and
learned that shortly after he depart
ed for work at o'clock Friday after

and all the furniture was removed.
When Middleton reported for duty

and rode around the Willow Grove

MAY Be A SPY.
fianCee of Private Peters
Starts an Investigation.
SAID TO Be AUSTRIAN COUNT
Kentucky Woman Is Alleged to Havs
Confessed That Her Lover Sought
Secret of High Explosive Shells
Used by Army and Navy.

Washington, Aug. S.-Upon receipt
of telegraphic dispatch from Captain
James Watson, army recruiting officer
ct indianapolis, Ind, the war depart
ment has notified the commandant OF
the coast artillery post at Fort Totten.
n. Y, to hold Private James Peters of
the One Hundred and Thirty-fftb
company, coast artillery, at that post.
under surveillance until further orders.
Peters is suspected of being a spy for
Austria.
Captain Watson said he had come
into possession of important papers
which, backed up by affidavits. tended
to prove that Peters is serving
period of three years enlistment in the
United States army in disguise for the
purpose Of obtaining important mill.
tary secrets. This is the Information.
apparently, that was reported as hav-
ing been placed in the hands of Cap
tain Watson by Miss Clara Dyer, a
young Kentucky woman, who is said
to have been engaged to marry Peters
and also to have aroused suspicion
through her manner in which she en-,
deavored to gain the assistance of
Captain Watson in purchasing the dis.
charge of the soldier.
Miss Dyer is said to have confessed
that Peters had told her he was an
Austrian count and had come to the
United States for the purpose of learn
ing the secret Of powerful explosive
used by the arm.. This, 1t is thought
is "dunnite," which has come to be
used largely in the big shells in both
the army and navy. 1t is stated at the
war department that the story con
cerning Peters will be investigated.
1t is doubted that he has any con
nection with the Austrian govern
ment, although 1t is not impossible
that he may have elected to make
some investigations on his own ac
count or for some other government
Even though this be his object, the
army has little to fear concerning
either "dunnite" or the Notifications at
Fort Totten. Everything at the post is
open and any one could obtain all the
military strategic information there
without the trouble Of enlisting in the
army.
According to the report from Indian
apolis, Miss Dyer met Peters while or
boat returning home from Europe
last September. The records of the
war department, however, show that
Peters has been In the service several
years. He served his first three years
in the cavalry md re-enlisted about
eighteen months ago IA the coast ar
! tillery. Once in that branch of the
service, he could not choose his own
post or station.
The military explosives are manufac
tured by or under the immediate di
rection Of the ordnance bureau, and
few officers Of the coast artillery know
its secrets. Peters has had a good
clean record.
The case Of Private Peters is the first
to be laid before the war department
under the new law providing punish,
ment for spies or for persons who at
tempt to gain any military informa-
ton improperly. The punishment for
such an offense is $1,000 fine or i'm
prisonment for one year, or both.
