effect that foreigners, operating in
Cuba, Mexico, and certain South
American countries, we're making
complete and full compilations of
military information which would be
of great value in case the United
States became involved in war
He further said that a great deal
of the information received by the
War Department with reference to
these matters was of highly conf
dental nature, and that it would not
be in the interests of the United
States for the details to be divulged,
but that the recital of the above in
cidents would be sufficient to indicate
that foreign countries were actually
engaged in an effort to obtain mill
tary Imagination with reference t.
the United States. This activity IS
by no means confined to any one for
eign nationality, as incidents have
been reported with reference to a
number of foreign powers.
Another striking incident occurred
about six months ago in the Philip
pines, where an enlisted man of the
Engineer Corps was approached by
two officers OF a foreign government
with an offer of $4,000 if he would
supply them with complete detailed
drawings and photographs of the de-
lenses on Corregidor Island He agreed
to do this, and as he was an official
photographer for the department, no
suspicion was aroused by his taking
photographs of the interior works,
etc. However, this soldier after pro-
crossing a certain length of time de-
cided to tell the authorities of the
matter, which he did. He was di-
lrected to proceed with the negotia-
tions in order that an effort might be
made to capture the two officers with
whom he was negotiating. He fol
lowed this instruction, and a trap
was laid which resulted in the cap
ture OF these officers practically in
the act of receiving from the soldier
these plans and photographs. The
attorney general of the Philippines
then undertook to prosecute them.
They we're thrown into prison, but
habeas corpus proceedings were OBJ
tanned, and they were released, as
there is no law in the. Philippines
and none in the United States under
which they might be prosecuted.
The bill makes a distinction be-,
tween an ordinary case of disclosure
of secret information and cases
where such information is communi-
Gated to a foreign state. This dis
tinction is made in the laws of prac-
tically all other nations, and the pro
visions of the bill are in general con-
formity with the legislation of other
nations upon this subject.

FARMER STRANGLES WIFE
Convicted on Confession Made to
Spiritualistic Medium.
GETS THIRTY YEARS IN PRISON
William n. Strong Declared Guilty
of Crime by Jury at Mays
Landing, N. J.

MAYS LANDING. y. J., March 81
William II. Strong. Nesco farmer, was
found guilty last night Of having muir
dered his wife. Evidently believing the
story told by Nine. Pauline Gerard, At
lantic City Boardwalk medium, that
Strong confessed tho crime to her. the
jury returned a verdict Of second degree
murder at Z O'Clock, after an hours de-
liberation.
Justice Trenchard at once sentenced
Strong to thirty years imprisonment AS
he was sixty years old on his last BIRTH
day. this Is virtually life sentence.
The last day Of the famous trial saw
Strong engaged in a desperate fight for
his life and liberty. The prosecution had
placed its chief reliance upon the con-
fession as related by Mime. Pauline &C.
rard, and it was this which Strong's at
torneys 'combated.
Denies He Made Confession.
Strong himself denied that he had made
any confession. He declared that he had
consulted the medium in the belief that
rhe could throw some light upon the
crime. He insisted that shortly after
they had begun to talk the medium had
cast "a spell'' over him and that he
could not remember anything that hap
pened thereafter.
His attorneys berated the methods Of
the prosecution In introducing Nine.
Gerard. and scored the police for "fram-
ing UP the plan for detectives to hide
behind q screen In the mediums quarters
while she sought to make Strong accuse
himself OF murder.
They dweit upon the fact that Strong
Is an ignorant man and that he implicitly
believed in the supernatural powers of
mediums. This belief, they contended.

had he been guilty Of the crime.
Woman Strangled to Death.
Mrs Strong was found strangled to
death October IA, 1910, in the barn on
The Strong farm. Strong gave the ALARM
but, SO neighbors said, did not join In the
search for the tramp whom it was at
first supposed had attacked the woman
and then killed her.
The case was a mystery until Strong
called upon Nine. Gerard. He had an
abiding faith in mediums, and went to
her 80 that he could talk to his wife
The woman became convinced that he
had killed his wife and notified detec-
tiTes.
An arrangement was made whereby
detectives were to be hidden behind a
screen while she talked with him.
Both these detectives and Mime. Gerard
testified that when she accused Strong
OF the crime he broke down and con-
fessed.
Gruesome Bit Of Evidence.
One of the spectacular features of the
trial was the introduction In evidence Of
the neck Of the murdered woman pre-
served in alcohol. The gruesome object
was used to show the marks of fingers
on the neck, indicating that the woman
had died from strangulation
Strong listened to the verdict and sem
tenee without displaying any emption,
and quietly accompanied the guards to
his solitary cell. A guard was placed
over him there so as to prevent any
attempt at suicide. Strong assured the
officers that this was unnecessary, as he
