STATES GERMAN SPIES
SWARM OVER ENGLAND
Friend of Miss May Dean Writes
That Reports Of Activities
Are Not Exaggerated.

Reports already published as to the
large number of German spies in the
British Isles and the persevering way in
which they work. are declared to be not
exaggerated in a letter recently received
by Miss May Dean of this city from an
English friend. Miss Dean, who is a
teacher in the Technical High School, was
on a continental tour when the great war
started was not heard from for a con-
siderable period, and has arrived but
lately at her home in Washington after
numerous unusual experiences incident to
the beginning of hostilities. The letter re-
ferred to is from a friend now in London,
Miss K. Stallard, with whom Miss Dean
was travelling in France.
England swarms with German spies,' -
it states, land we ourselves know of so
Green). They are treated with far too
great leniency. Just opposite this house,
literally within easy stones throw, some
new houses were being built. and all the
workmen were Germans. A pit, which
was skillfully concealed with bricks, was
since found filled with rifles, and quanti-
ties of ammunition were found in houses
occupied by Germans nearby In all
1000 rifles have been found and taken
in this district alone. Does not this seem
an evidence that war had been intended
all along when opportunity served?
mo lights in public buildings are al
lowed at night now, and all lights in

as possible. An airship patrols London

Larry Schlaf1y, manager of the Buffalo

that call for greatly increased salaries
and term of years service in the out

Schlafly later called at Federal

James Gilmore and r. B. Ward of the
Brooklyn team, and with them and
President Gwinner of the local tea
attended the Indianapolis Pittsburgh
game at Exposition Park here yester-
day afternoon.
In addition to these luminaries Ex-
position Park was honored by the pres
ence of the entire St Louis National
Miller Huggins. Several of the players
including Lee Magee, spent a good part
of the afternoon on the Pittsburgh
players bench while the game was in
progress.
President Gilmore, in speaking of the
much-rumored peace plans reported to
be under way with organized base ball
said:
II think Mr.. Weeghman was mis-
quoted when he said we would not
make peace. We will, but not at their
dictation. We will have the last word
We are not seeking the favor of or
gani1ed base ball. If they want ours
they will come to u.s."
Mr.. Gilmore said both Cincinnati and
Cleveland were keen after franchises
and each had abundant backing.
From another source 1t was learned
that New York will have a Federal
League team in 1915, and that the
grounds will be located near the sub
way, elevated and surface lines.

Fourteen-Room Brick House Near
Chain Bridge Burns-occu-

A fourteen-room brick structure on
the Virginia side of the river near
Chain bridge was destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon. The property be-
longed to the estate of the late Henry
c. Stroman, father Of Policeman Harry
Stroman of the tenth precinct, and
was occupied by Frederick whippler
and his aunts. Mrs. Kate A. Boehne
and Mrs. Adelaide Cheney.
Inc Two women were asleep in the
house yesterday afternoon when a
neighbor discovered the roof burning
and aroused them. They were able to
get out OF the house without any dif-

that they were able to save only two
trunks from the building.
1t was about 2 o'clock in the after

and 1t was not until nearly midntrht

FOWLER HIGH MAN
Rolls Best Set of Year in
Bowling League.
SOUTHEAST FIVES BEGIN
Good Season Is Expected in New
Circuit, as Opening Is
Successful.

The best set rolled by an individual
in the bowling leagues this year was
registered by Fowler of the Resolutea
against the Garrisons in the District
League last night. He obtained mark
of $40 as a total for his three games.
Fowler knocked down 149 pins in his
first contest, 10s in his second, and
then finished with 113 in the last. 1t
was exceedingly good bowling for any
period of the season. and was all the
more noteworthy when 1t is considered
that none of the players is expected to
be in anything like his real form.
Two matches were bowled in the Dis
trict circuit, the Jeds winning the first
from the Belmonts by two games out
of three. and the Resolutes taking the
second from the Garrisons with a clean
sweep.
The Southeast League opened its sea-
son last night with game between
the Stars and Virginia Avenues. Judg-
ing by the success of the opening a
good season may be looked for.

| Foot ball in the south is due tc
lose one Of it's best supporters. as
| Lieut.. E. 8. Land, who has been in the
Navy Department for several years
was recently detailed to active sea
duty. Lieut.. Land has for the last
two or three years aided in the coach
ing of the Naval Academy eleven, be-
sides taking active part in many con-
| tests as an official He probab ably is the
best known and most widely accepted
| umpire south of the Mason-Dixon
| line. He leaves here tomorrow to take
up his new work.
Lieut.. Land started his career In
foot ball at the Naval Academy, and
| later continued his interest in the
game by coaching the team OF one OF
the battleships of the Atlantic fleet
He attained almost continued success
as an instructor, although that would
| never be found out through any con-
versation which might be held WltH
him. He has been officiating in the
high school series here, and has con-
Quoted the games in a manner that
admitted of not the least fault. Not
only has Lieut.. Land been one OF the
| most sought after men to umpire con-
tests in this section, but he is almost
the only man in the south that mas
received FREQUENT assignments to big
northern games.
The esteem in which Lieut.. Land is
held by followers of foot ball here is
best shown by an opinion expressed by
the coach of one of the big elevens In
this section:
That man Land is certainly a high
class fellow. l have never met an OF
fetal in whom ! could put greater
trust, because he knows the game, his
interpretations of technical points are
always correct, and his rulings are uni
formly fair and just. He is the one
official to whom l have never known

that he's all right No man was
ever a greater credit to the game. and
If foot ball had more like him it would
have less enemies"
Reports seem general that George
town coaches are dissatisfied with their
team as it stands, although they do not
say much about their attitude. About
all that has been gotten out of any
Of them was the statement from EXen-
dine last Saturday that the eleven was
much too slow. and the consequent in
timation that 1t would have to develop
lot more speed. Some dissatisfaction
is noticed in the fact that changes
have been made within the last two
days. Some OF the men have not done
as well as was expected, and they have
been shifted to the scrubs, others, ap-
parently of greater speed and ability,
having been placed in their former po-
sitions.
Georgetown has a lot of good ma
terial and sooner or later it Is going
to do some mighty good work. The
backfield men have hardly come up to
the standard expected. excepting MUIR
ray, though that may have been due
to the lack of work against a strange
eleven. There is one thing certain,
though. that the backfield material is
below the general standard of that
for the line. Just what can be done
to remedy this condition is question
able, though it may be that one Of the

RURAL CARRIER LOSS.
$4O,0O0,0OO A YEAR
Burleson Would Let the Work on
Contract, But Country Politicians
Are Fighting Him.

postmaster General BurIeson is re-
cei'lhs great many letters favorine
proposition, which he is said to be
considering, OF letting the service now
performed by rural letter carriers. out
py contract. The discovery that the
rural carrier service is now being con-
Quoted at loss" of $4,000, 900 a year
is said to have prompted the Postmas-
ter General to give consideration to the
subject of reducing this excess of ex-
pense in the interest of economy.
BY letting the rural carrier service
out by contract 1t is claimed $4,000 900
year can be saved. Many of the let
terS received by Mr. Burleson call at
tention to the excessive expenditure
tor rural carrier service, and one of
them states that on route which
yields but 10 cents a day the govern
ment pays something near $1,000 for
the rural carrier.
1t is well known that the present
Congress increased the salaries of
rural letter carriers against the pro-
test of the Post Office Department, and
the matter was pointedly alluded to by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Blakslee in an address delivered be-
fore a recent convention of the car
riers in this city. Yet, Notwithstanding
the facts presented by the department,
it is said, the rural carriers are now
striving to have Congress provide a
pension for superannuated and dis
abled carriers.
Some little friction was observable at
the carriers convention, one of the
speakers virtually declaring that it
would take more than the cold
shoulder of the department to deter a
carrier in doing his duty to his asso-
citation.
1t is said the rural carriers conf
dence in their position to better them
selves and their condition regardless
Of cost is due to their political
strength at home, and this, in the opin-
ion Of keen observers in the depart
ment, it is said, will prevent the con-
summation Of the plan of the Postmas-
ter General to let the service out by

some good men. O'Rourke and Lynch,
the former once a regular halfback at

these players are certain to make good

Brooklanders on the offensive, as well
also are expected out as a result OF
the extraordinary size of the fresh
man class. The majority of these new
men began to register yesterday, and

1t Is said that the Brooklanders are
going to have the heaviest aggrega-
ton this season that has ever repre-
sented them. Their work in every par
ticular has been such as to indicate
that their eleven will be much better
than usual.
The Western High School squad may
be little heavier this year than last.
IN fact. 1t is pretty sure that the Red
and White will have the strongest
punch of boys on the field that have
represented the school in some time.
The backfeld will not be much above
the usual weight. although it. too, will
most likely have more avoirdupois to
nurl against opposing lines.
AT best. though, Coach Morse is not
gong to have an easy time turning out
good eleven. Conditions seem to be
much against him this year, though the
boys are rallying to his support in
great style. The squad must go a long
way from the school to train, and then
ane .ne taclllties are not of the best, by
any means. If Morse develops a win
nlng eleven great deal of credit will
be due him.
