DESERTER ARRESTED;
HAD FEIGNED SUICIDE
Man Whose Uniform Was
Found on River Bank Faces
Court-Martial

Arrested as a deserter after he had
tried to create the impression that he
had committed suicide by jumping into
the Schuylkill River, William e. Kearns,
twenty-five years old, of Bambrey street
north of Cambria, will be returned to
Camp Meade to face court-martial.
Kearns is said to have deserted from
Company IA. 154th Depot Brigade, Camp
Meade, on July 2. Since that time he
has evaded an almost constant search
for him. On Sunday a uniform. later
identified as his. was found on the banks
of the Schuylkill River near Wissahickon
and the theory that he had committed
suicide was generally accepted.
But James Tate, former captain of de-
tectives, now a private operator. learned
that the deserter had returned to his
home and this morning went there and
arrested Kearns, who was garbed in his
civilian clothing. Kearns is now being
held to await the action of the military
authorities. An escort probably will be
sent from Meade to take him TO the
camp
Kearns went away in the draft in the
spring He did not like army life and
constantly complained in his letters
home. His dissatisfaction finally re-
suited in his desertion.

She SAILED WITH BERNSTORFF
New York Girl Reported Sem
fenced to Die by Austria
By the Associated Press

Washington, July 80. - Miss Milada
Jarusek. Czech girl of New York, re-
ported in dispatches from Zurich to have
been sentenced to death by an Austrian
court martial on a charge Of having oper-
ated under instructions of Czech organi-
cations in the United States with the
purpose of spying upon Count Won Bern
storff the former German Ambassador,
is we'll known among the Czecho-Slovsk
representatives here. Miss Jarusek has
always been much interested in the ma
tional movement Of her mother country.
and returned to Bohemia in 1917 to aid
her relatives, whom she knew were in
great distress.
She sailed on the same ship with the
German Ambassador Bernstorff. her de-
parture being known to only a few of
her most intimate friends. 1t is pre-
sumed that some of them Inadvertently
let the fact of her sailing be known in
the presence of German or Austrian
agent.
officials of the Czecho- o-Slovak national
council here say Miss Jarusek's s case is a
proof of how seriously the Austrian Gov
ernment is watching the movements for
Czech independence and how far, even to
shooting women. Il Is ready to go to in
timidate those connected with It.
