U.S. MILITARY SECRETS GAINED BY FOREIGN SPIES Blue Prints Showing Defenses in Philippines Were Picked Up in Calcutta. BIG BRIBE OFFERED TO SOLDIER New Law Which Provides for Severe Punishment of Spies in Time of Peace. Washington, August 10-Startling evidence of the activity foreign spies is possession of the pernicious, army general staff, which accounts for the serious consideration that now being given to the most trifling report of attempts to discover the military secrets of country. Some of these inciderts are of comparatively recent date, and it was upon the submission of such information secret session of the Judiciary Committee of the House that legislation was secured at the last session of Congress providing for the severe punishmetn of spies in time of peace, An Englishman in Calcutta picked up in the streets a small package of blueprints showing every detail of the defenses of the Corregidor Island; the main stronghold of the United States in the Philippines.

The prints were not copies of any drawings or prepared for use of the United States, but evidently were the result of a careful and deliberate investigation official and confidential records of the United States. The existence of the blueprints 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. A waiter in a Seattle hotel was found to be a foreign officer in disguise, possessing 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 detailed to spend three years secretly visiting the American counties and studying their military conditions.

Even the Panama Canal has not escaped. One of the engineers found a foreign officer, an attache to one of the American countries, secretly studying the canal from a strategic standpoint and he understood that there were six or seven other offers of the same nationality in the United States gathering military information. A New York policeman arrested an American for a trivial offense and found in his trunk military maps and information which convinced the officials that he was in the employ of a foreign government. But the incident that convinced the Judiciary Committee of the necessity for the protective law occurred less than a year ago in the Philippines. An enlisted man in the engineers corps was offered $25,000 by two foreign offers for the plans of the defenses of Corregidor Island.

Being the official photographer he had ample opportunity to get all the necessary pictures. Having first informed his superior officer of the attempt, a trap was laid and the two foreign spies were captured. But. habeas corpus proceedings were obtained and they were released, as there was then no law in the Philippines or in the United States under which they could be prosecuted.

Youth Could Not Get Frieda Luckel to Promise to Wed Him. That a 16-year-old girl, with whom he in love, refused to she was would some day become bepromisichas lieved to have been the reason for the suicide, early this morning, of Michael Schwamb, 19 years old, of 102 Forest avenue, Glendale.

The body of the young man, cut in half and mangled almost beyond recognition. was found at an early hour this morning lying across the west tracks of the Long Island Railroad, the Collins avenue a Maspeth. ellundone gineer of a freight train found the body at about 3:15 o'clock this morning, but it fu believed the young man threw himself from the bridge and was run over by a train hours before. Engineer Joseph Horton of the freight train said he discovered the body, which was clearly outlined by his headlight, lying across the tracks. The police of the Glendale precinct, who were notified, searched the body and found a letter addressed to Schwamb, from the Railroad Educational Society, 227 Monrooe street.

Brooklyn. It had to do with some lessons in railroading that the young man evidently had been taking, and the writer expressed the hope that Michael was progressing satisfactorily, and concluded with the promise that a good position would be secured for him shortly. Wrote Farewell Note to Father. On the back of the letter the young man had scribbled the following in pencil: "Dear Father- -I wish you good luck and hope you won't forget me. Take my best wishes to all and farewell to all.

They were in the tinsmith business together. When seen this morning, Luckel said that his chum was much attached to his sister-in-law, Frieda Luckel, who is 116 years of age. Schwamb was anxious to marry her, but her parents objected on accoutn of her age. Schwamb wanted the younkg woman to marry him despite the objection, but she refused.

Shwamb became morose. A few days ago he asked Frieda to promise she would marry him a few years hence. when she would be older and he would be in better position to support her. The girl, however, refused to give any promise. Telephoned Friend, "'Now I'll Do the Trick." Schwamb telephoned his friend, Luckel, last night.

saving: "Now I'll do the trick." Luckel thought the young man was joking, and told him 60. Later Luckel heard of the finding of his roommate's body. Schwamb's parents, who live at 102 Forest avenue, Glendale, refused to tell a reporter what the trouble was that was mentioned in the suicide's note. "You must find that out for yourself," they said.

After being partially blind and unable to see ordinary print eight years, Ralph Swinerton, a former Brooklynite, awoke from a hypnotic trance yesterday afternoon and found himself able to read headlines in a newspaper. Although the cure at present is only partial, Swinerton is confident that after taking the treatment for a few months his eyesight will be wholly restored. This morning in his home at 418 West Fortieth street street, Manhattan, Swinerton told an Eagle reporter of his experience yesterday while under the influence of Dr. Alfred J. Fox, who tized him in his office in the Hotel Frederick, Fifty -sixth street, near Broadway, Manhattan.

first heard of Dr. Fox early in the week, being told of the remarkable cure of a paralytic which he effected recently by hypnotism. went to him and after had explained the trouble with my sight, he put me in a short trance Tuesday afternoon which, however, brought no results. "Yesterday afternoon I made my second visit. He seated me in 8 chair and told me to rest my head ou its back.

Then he instructed me to carefully concentrate my thoughts on the matter of my sight and to look him squarely in the eye. Of course couldn't see him at all, but I could tell just about where to look. "It occurred to me then that hypnotizing a blind man is quite a different proposition than one who can see; for generally the eye plays a very important part in the process. With my thoughts concentrated and my eyes staring vacantly straight ahead, I sat for several moments while the doctor murmured in my ear. "I passed off in a doze almost before I knew it.

For nearly an hour I was in the chair in a sound sleep, not even broken by a dream. All the while, 80 I was told afterward, Dr. Fox was telling me that my eyes were getting stronger, and that I could see, and that I would soon be all right. He evidently used the power of suggestion. "When I awoke from my trance I was shown a paper and could read the headlines easily, but wag still unable to see the ordinary print.

But even that is a great improvement. I feel confident of being cured." Swinerton, who is a bachelor, formerly lived in this borough, at the corner of Wythe avenue and Hewes street, but in 1896 he moved to Manhattan and entered the police force as a patrolman. In 1902 his sight began to fail and at the end of the year he was compelled to leave the force. On account of his improvement he now hopes to get back on the force again. EAGLE PARIS BUREAU CALLERS.

WILL PREACH TWO SUNDAYS. Not to Take Part in Any Public Function During His Stay at the Seashore. (Special to The Eagle.) Southampton, L.

August 10-His eminence, Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, arrived in Southampton last evening, about 5 o'clock, to remain for three weeks at the rectory of the Church of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as the guest of the Rev. Francis J. O'Hara, rector of the church. The cardinal was accompanied by the Right Rev. Mgr.

James S. Duffy, rector of St. Agnes Church, lyn, and the Rev. John J. Donlan of Centre Moriches.

His eminence journeyed from Brooklyn to Centre Moriches on Tuesday, coming on to Southampton yesterday afternoon in Mr. Sturges' automobile. This is his annual visit to southeastern Long Island, and he intends to remain for almost three weeks. It is probable that he will preach both Sundays during his stay at the 10:30 o'clock mass, unless Back tach soS. Cardinal Gibbons, Prelate who is visiting at Southampton, L.

I. some unforeseen circumstance, arises to prevent his doing SO. The cardinal is feeling as well as ever did and looks much better than he has for some years past. However, he seeks a complete rest in Southampton and will not participate in any public function whatever during his stay. He needs the rest in order to be in good health for the coming jubilee celebration in Baltimore, which begins on October 15.

When asked about his plans for the jubilee, his eminence said the exercises would begin on the morning of October 15 with a solemn mass, at which Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis will preach the sermon. In the evening Archbishop Blenk of New Orleans will deliver the sermon at solemn vespers. During the succeeding week, the cardinal said, the programme will consist of numerous exercises conducted by the various participating societies. As to the cardinal's plans while he is in Southampton, besides his preaching on Sunday, Father O'Hara will accompany him on a visit to the seminarians, who are summering at the Villa St.

Joseph, on Mecox Bay, during the coming week. On Saturday or Monday, Bishop Foley of Detroit is expected at Southampton, to remain for a few days during the cardinal's visit. 70-YEAR READERS WRITE Respond to Invitation for The Eagle's Anniversary Number. The Brooklyn Eagle will celebrate its seventieth birthday on October 26, and the old readers of The Eagle--those who have read the paper for fifty, or sixty, or seventy years--will all have a place in the anniversary number which is to be issued on that day. In response to The Eagle's invitation a number of these old readers have already written letters to the newspaper.

There are many others who have not yet written. The Eagle, therefore, renews its invitation to them to take the places waiting for them in the big "Eagle family." They are urged to send in their impressions of the paper, comparing it with The Eagle they knew in the days of their youth. Anyone who was born on October 26, 1841-the day The Eagle was founded- becomes automatically a member of The Eagle family, because of that cheerful fact. If you are one of such, send in your name. If you know of anyone who comes in that category, send in his or her name.

Primarily, the great birthday number will be an issue full of the history of Brooklyn. Of course it will contain the story of the growth and development of the newspapers, but it will contain a general view of the progress of the world since 1841. The world of today will not be neglected, and many of the foremost thinkers of modern times will contribute eles bearing on the relation of the past to the present and to the future. The future of Brooklyn is to be forecast by men who can read what is to come in the intellectual and industrial development of society. Altogether the whole issue is to be one well worth the preserving.

Popular New York Actor Lost His Life in Spectacular Blaze That Damaged Carlton Hotel. London, August 10-The loss to the American guests at the Carlton Hotel, the two upper floors of which were damlast evening by a spectacular fire that, drove the occupants of the muchpatronized hostelry into the street, is not so heavy as had been anticipated. This is particularly true of those who did not attempt to remove any of their belongings during the course of the fire. The guests who deserted their rooms as they were when the flames broke out found this morning that the corps had done their work so thoroughly that in many cases their baggage, clothing and other possessions, even down to toilet articles, had been undamaged. James R.

Keene got out some of his last evening and the rest of it baggage this morning. It was little worse for having passed through a fire. The Americans, of whom there were many stopping at the hotel, highly prase the work of the salvage corps, a body of men maintained by the companies. Upon receiving insurance, alarm practically the whole corps was sent to the Carlton. The different companies were assigned to various floors and went systematically from room to room, piling up their contents and covering them with tarpaulins.

The loss to the hotel is estimated at $150,000, but this probably is an underestimate, as all the ceilings and most of the furniture must be replaced. The Americans had no great praise for the fire department, the work of which they considered slow as compared with that of the fire fighters in American cities. The fre department places the blame for their delay in getting to the scene to the hotel management, who tried to put out the blaze when it originated in the elevator shaft in the kitchen quarters on the top floor, with appliances in the house before sending out an alarm. The hotel management endeavored to belittle the fire and up to the last moment withheld the fact that Jameson Lee Finney, the American actor, had been burned to death in bathroom adjoinhis room on the fifth floor of the ing annex. An inquest into the death of Mr.

Finney will be held on Saturday. Among the Americans who were guests at the Carlton were John Purroy Mitchel, president the Board of Aldermen of New York City; James R. Keene, the wellknown financier; John Wanamaker, C. C. Woolworth, Frank Brown, former Governor of Maryland; Billie Burke, the actress; Vance McCormick of Chicago; F.

W. Woolworth, the merchant; Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

Pratt of New York, R. W. Daniel. a Philadelphia banker, and dozens of others. Thomas A.

Edison. the inventor, who has been staying at the Carlton, was absent when the fire occurred. Finney Had Presentiment of Impend. ing Evil. The of Mr.

Finney will be cremated after the inquest and the ashes will be sent to the United States to be buried beside the grave of his mother, who died last April. This is in fulfilment of a wish expressed by Vr. Finney a short time ago. It appears that he was much broken in spirit by the death or his mother, and subsequently entertained a presentiment of impending evil to himself. Only last June he made a will, in which he gave directions to Miss Ada Dwyer, the actress, of New York, with whon ne had been associated, for the disposal of his body and his effects.

Miss Dwyer today said that Mr. Finney's apprehension of ill fortune was 80 strong that when they discussed sailing for America. he insisted that they travel on different vessels so that she would not be involved in the catastrophe that he anticipated would overtake him. The body was so badly charred that it could not be recognized. It was identified by Miss Dwyer through a chain which the actor wore on his neck and finger rings.

It appears that when Mr. Finney tried to get out of the bathroom adjoining his room and in which he perished, he took a wrong direction and found his supposed exit blocked, the door being locked.
