GERMAN ESPIONAGE SYSTEM DISCLOSED BY DRUNKEN TRAMP Hobo Tells How Teutonic Spy Bureau Spreads Its Network Through European Countries. Oscar Friedenstein was in Richmond last night; he shuffled west over the Doran bridge at midnight, intoxicated, dedraggled and footsore; he left behind him a story of Prussian intrigue and a disclosure of some of the ramifications of the German spy system. Friedenstein came to Richmond over the hobo route Sunday afternoon, spent the night in the "jungle," and last night was absorbing cheap whisky purchased with money gained by his hard-luck stories to sympathetic German housewives of the south side. He had taken aboard enough of the stuff to be in a sociable state, and the ordering of several rounds by reporters on a slumming tour loosened his tongue and mads him loquacious. "It is difficult to convey to the American any adequate idea of the ramifications of the spy system in operation on the continent of Europe," Friedenstein asserted when he was asked his opinion on the German army system. Spy System Wide. "Germany has an excellent army, but the tuetonic network of secret agencies is simply amazing. Up to five years ago Metz was the headquarters of German espionage in France, but since then, in consequence of certain revelations, the general staff has split up its bureaus. The chief one is now at Basle, Switzerland, at its head being Major von Rock, of the Eighth Bavarian Regiment. Another branch is in the hands of the famous Schwartz, who was once a French police commissary. Schwartz resides near Thionville, but he spends most of his time in France, and although he has yet to serve a sentence of five years for espionage, the police never quite succeed in catching him.. Yet he is never far from Nancy, for the 20th Army Corps is his especial study. Uses Picture Cards. "In order to correspond with his emissaries he used picture post cards largely. Only too late the French Cabinet Noir discovered that by steaming the stamp and removing It some such information as this would have come to light: 'A. B., 159,200." This meant 'A. B., Register No. 159, requires 200 francs.' The postmarks told where the correspondent was. "Recently at Rheims a youth was arrested on a charge of espionage but released on proving that he had been lured into the toils of an agent who had inserted the following alluring advertisement in a local newspaper: Representatives required for easy work, good commission, no special knowledge; write, with reference, L. P., 305, Foste Restante, Central Office, Basle. Hold Young Man. "In reply the young man received a request to furnish some information of a simple nature, for which he was paid handsomely. Fortunately for him, he was arrested before he had compromised himself to such a degree that the mere threat of being denounced to the French police would have rendered him the willing slave of the German Secret Intelligence Bureau." Asked if he had ever served in the secret service of the German Empire, Friedenstein shook his head. He was willing to talk of the system at long range, but no amount of whiskey could loostn his tongue sufficiently to evoke a personal reference.

AUSTRiANS DEMAND WAR AGIST SERVIA Nation Grieves Over Loss of Heir, While Parties Speculate on Successor. SARAJEVO, Bosnia. June 30. All liosnia and Herzegovina are today aflame with hatred kindled by the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his consort, the Duchess of Hohenberg, by a young Slav in this city on Sunday. In spite of the declaration of martial law there was fierce rioting in this city and throughout the two provinces. At Moras ter, the chief city of Herzegovina, 200 Servians were killed and wounded in a fight with Moslems. The city is reported to have been set on fire by the rioting Servians and Moslems. AYhilo preparations were being made here to ship the bodies of the two victims of Sunday's double assassination to Vienna, a maddened crowd attacked and wrecked the homes of three Servians in which bombs had been found. Drive Off Gendarmes. The military police fired upon the mobs but the infuriated men and women turned upon the gendarmes and drove them off, then continued their assault upon the buildings. Three Servians were caught and would have been lynched in the streets except for the soldiery, who upon being reinforced returned to the scene and with fixed bayonets charged Ihe rioters. Servian shops and hotels were stoned and the windows smashed. bervian flags were torn down and i trampled in the streets. Mobs made up I of men and women paraded thr. streets shouting: "Death to the Servians." "Down with the throwers of Belgrade bombs." WILSON AT FUNERAL OF DON T. ROJAS WASHINGTON, June 30.

The explosion of the dynamite broke the steel bed in his cell squarely in half, several bars of the cell were broken and all of the windows in the jail were blown out. It is believed that a confederate passed the dynamite to him through a window. TAKE NO ACTION. A conference of the pastoral committee of the First Presbyterian church was held last night. Nothing was accomplished. The name of Rev. J. W. McCormick of Cambridge City was not considered at this meeting although the committee members expressed the favorable impression he left here.

Mayo, the famous surgeon, of Rochester, Minn., addressing the American Medical association, declares that too many operations are performed without justifiable cause. He asserted there was no excuse whatever for so many operations, and that if physicians would study embryology more carefully they would be able to cure many cases without the use of the knife.

PLAN TO CONVERT DUMPJTO PARKS West Richmond People Propose Riverside Place Purchased by Popular Subscription.

Citizens of West Richmond propose to transform the West Side dump into a beautiful park and playground. They are enthusiastic over the prospects, and willing to back the new movement verbally and financially. To consider ways of bringing about the transformation a mass meeting for men and women, interested in a more beautiful, more healthful city, has) been arranged for 7:30 o'clock at the; Baxter school Thursday evening. Sec-j retary Jordan of the Commercial club and Mayor Robbing will help give the plan a boost by being present and speaking in favor of it. To Purchase Land. Tentative plans of the residents who are backing the playground-park) movement call for the purchase of the land from the river bank to West First street between the Doran and Main street bridges. This could be converted into a beautiful place with flowers, paths and playground apparatus. Men of West Richmond stand ready to subcribe various amounts from $10 to $100 to buy the tract of land with money raised by popular subscription. John Fosler suggested that enough money be obtained to purchase the land which should then be turned over to the city, which with land already owned by the city would make a large park. He points out that in a few years parks and playground land will be at a premium in West Richmond. This also would afford an opportunity to get rid of the unsightly, unsanitary west Bide dump. TRADE DEPRESSION CRIPPLES D, COPID The little love bee stung a few more in June than in May, but failed to do his duty as well as in other years. Sixty persons felt Cupid's darts this month, and there are now thirty more families in the county than there were thirty days ago. The marriage market, like others, felt the press of hard times, and was almost swamped in this county last month. It is thought that the encouraging reports from all parts of the country will liven matters considerably and there will be a rush of business later in the year. An average of one marriage license a day is far exceeded every year, and usually June is one of the record months. The issuance of only thirty licenses in any month is considered poor, but is especially poor when the month is June. No admission, free-will offering, at Wesley Howard concert tonight.

Wilson Seeks to Bring Commerce Commission Members to Harmonious View. WASHINGTON, June 30. The reason for the delay in the interstate commerce commission in handing down its decision in the five per cent advance rate cas is that the administration desires a unanimous decision by the commissioners, it was reliably reported at the commission office today. The personnel of the commission is so constituted that a unanimous decision seems remote. There are some radicals, some conservatives and some who are said to be on the fence. To get all of Its members to pull together is the task now before the commission. It was predicted that within two weeks a compromise would be effected. Commissioners Harlan and McChord are said to be the conservative members holding out against the railroad plea for the increased rates. ROB POST OFFCE. FRANKFORT, Ind., June 30.
