 0F FOREIGN SPIES?
Startling Evidence Disclosed
 By Military Officials
ACTIVITY EXPLAINED
Recent Legislation Providing for Severe Punishment of Spies Was Prompted By Discoveries of
 Real Spies

Washington, August 10.-Startling evil dences of the pernicious activity of for eign spies is in the possession of the army general staff, which accounts for the serious consideration that is now be- ing given to the most trifing report of attempts to discover the military secrets of the country.
 Some of these incidents are of compar- atively recent date, and it was upon the submission of such information to a secret session of the judicial committee of the House that legislation was secured at the last Congress providing for the se- were punishment of spies in time of peace
 An Englishman in Calcutta picked up in the streets small package of blue prints showing every detail of the de- lenses of Corregidor island, the main stronghold of the United States in the Philippines. The prints were not copies of any drawings or charts prepared for use of the United States, but were evi- dently the result of a careful and delip- erate investigation of the official and con- f;dential records of the United States The existence of the blue prints made it evident that there were other copies in existence
 The Englishman sent the papers to the war department here, but the most careful investigation failed to discover the means by which the information had been obtained.
 Spy in Hotel
 waiter in a Seattle hotel was found to be foreign officer in disguise, pos sessing many drawings and notes he had made of the Pacific coast defenses.
 An American ambassador notified the state department that a certain captain belonging to the army of the country where he was stationed had been de- tailed to spend three years secretly investigationg the American countries and studying their military conditions.
 Even the Panama canal has not es- capped. One of the engineers found foreign officer an attache to one of the American countries, secretly study ing the canal from a strategic stand point and he understood there were six or seven other officers of the same nationality in the United States gath ering military information.
 A New York policeman arrested an American for a trivial offense and found in his trunk military maps and informa- ton which convinced the officials that he was in the employ of a foreign gov ernment, but the incident that convinced the judiciary committee of the necessity for the protective law occurred less than year ago in the Philippines.
 An enlisted man in the engineers was offered s25,0O0 by two foreign officers for the plans of the defense of the Corregi- dor island. Being the official photo grapher he had ample opportunity to get all the necessary pictures, having first informed his superior of the attempt. A trap was laid and the two foreign spies were captured. But habeas corpus pro- ceedings were obtained and they were | released, as there was then no laws in the Philippines or United States under which they could be prosecuted.

McNAMARAS CONFESS DEED
Plead Guilty to Dynamiting Los
Angeles Times Building.

James B. Mcnamara pleaded gull
ty TO murder in the first degree in
Los Angeles, Calf, Friday. His
brother, John j. Mcnamara, sec
rotary of the International AS
ISOLATION OF Bridge e Structural
Iron Workers, entered a plea of
guilty to having dynamited the Lie
wellyn Iron works in Los Angeles
on Christmas day, 1910. James b.
McNamaras confession clears up
absolutely the tragedy of the eX-
plosion and fire, which or the
morning of October /, 1910, wreck
ed the plant of the Los Angeles
Times and caused the death of
p persons. His confession is
short and lacking in detail. 1t
follows:
81, James B. Mcnamara, having
heretofore pleaded guilty to the
crime of murder, desire to make
a statement of the facts, and this
is the truth. On the night of
September 80, 1910, at 5:45 p. m.
placed in the ink alley, portion
of the Times building, a suitcase
containing l6 sticks of dynamite
set to explode at l o'clock the next
morning. 1t was my intention to
injure the building and scare the
owner did not intend to take
the life of anyone, Isincerely re-
greet these unfortunate men lost
their lives. If the giving of my life
would bring them back l gladly |
give it. In fact, in pleading guilty |
to murder in the first degree l have
placed my life in the hands of the
state.
