FRANCE CALLS II
A SPY SYSTEM
U. S. Secret Agents in That
Country.
THEIR METHODS EXPOSED
Henry Monroe, a Paris Banker, Makes
Revelations In An Appeal Against
a Jail Sentence and
Fine.
Paris. The opinion prevails here that
United States Treasury agents would In
future bo excluded from France be
cause of the exposure of their methods
In tho course of an appeal by Henry
Monroe, a banker, against a jail sen
tence and fine for refusing to disclose
the amounts paid in France by Miss
Dolan of Brookllne, Mass., for dresses
seized by the American customs on
their arrival In Boston.
The French foreign office some time
ago made representations to the
State Department at Washington in
regard to the Irregularities of the
United States in maintaining secret
agents in France who were not recog
nized by the American Embassy or
Consulate General.
Much comment, some of It In angry
terms. appeared In the press about
what is-called the "business spy sys
tem of the United States."
Andre Lesourd, Miss Dolan's coun
sel, declared that the American cus
toms officials maintained In Paris
what amounted to a fiscal espionage
agency. The purchasers were
shadowed by spies, he said. French
export bolides were called upon to
permit all books to be examined, and
If tho demand was refused, goods
destined for tho United States were
held up.
M. Lesourd said that a lace maker
with whom Miss Dolan dealt, ou re
turning to his office found a woman
there making entries from his books.
She at first pretended to be a friend
of Miss Dolan, but later admitted
that she bad come 'from the treasury
agent. In scuffle which ensued,
M. Lesourd said papers fell from the
woman's bag on which Miss Dolan's
purchases had been copied. The lace
maker later received a letter of com
plaint from the treasury agent, accord
ing to M. Lesourd and one from a
lawyer demanding 15 francs damages
done the woman's handbag.
Washington, D. C While no pro
test had been received at the State De
partment against the operations of
American cuetoms agents In France In
connection with the Monroe case, . It
Is generally understood that the
French government holds the same
objection to the peeret work of thepe
officials as it did to the efforts of
American Inspectors to look Into the
books of French exporters and manu
facturers. "MORE LOVE, LESS EUGENICS."
Homeopath Say That la What The
Race Needs.
Atlantic City. Less eugenics and
more old-fashioned love Is what the
race neods, said Dr. J. Rlehey Horner,
of the Cleveland Homeopathic Medical
College, who read a paper on sex
hygiene before the Bureau of Sanitary
Science of the American Institute of
Homeopathy. Dr. Horner said It was
his belief that as long as man was at
tracted by beauty and woman by
strength eugenics would in a great
measure take cure of Itself.
CORN FROM JAPAN.
Price at, Seattle Same as From the
Middle West
Seattle, Wash. Japanese corn
growers are In active competition with
the American farmer following the arj
rival here from Japan of a cargo of
tho grain. The cargo consisted of
3,000 sacks consigned to a Seattle
milling company. It Is said the price
of the grain Including transportation,
was the same as that of corn from the
Middle States.
AMERICA UP WITH HEAVY LOAD.
Trant-Atlantic Flying Boat Carrie

flying boat built for Itodman Wana
maker, made several flights here,
piloted by Glenn H. Curtiss, carrying
the heaviest loads with which she has
so far been burdened. The gross
weight of the machine on one flight
was more than 5,000 pounds. The
weight of the Bo-called "UBeful load"
was estimated at more than 2,100
pounds.

PRINZIP BETRAYS COMRADES
Gabrlnovica Saya They Obtained the
Bombs Through the Pan-Servian
Union Divided Among Con
spiratora In Confectionery.
Vienna. Ncdeljo Gabrlnovlcs, who
threw a bomb at Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his wife while they
were proceeding to the Sarayevo town
hall, made a complete confession, ac
cording to dispatches received from
Sarayevo.
In his confession Gabrlnovlcs says
that after learning, while at Bel
grade, that Archduke Francis Ferdi
nand was going to Sarayevo he com
municated with Gavlro Fririzip, who
fired the fatal shots, with the result
that they resolved to go there also
and kill the Archduke, the Duchess
and their suites and die themselves
for the Fatherland.
To obtain bombs, they applied to
Major Milan Pribitchevitch, secretary
of a Pan-Servlau Union and foremrly
an officer In the Austrian army, who
had Joined the Servians. Through
him, Gabrlnovica says, bombs and
revolvers were obtained from the
Servian arsenal at Kraguyevatz.
Gabrlnovlcs undertook to find four
other bombthrowers, and it was
agreed that when the Archduke was
seen approaching each should hold a
bomb in his right hand a bottlo of
poison In his left hand and that he
should drink the poison after throw
ing the bomb.
Gabrlnovlcs succeeded in finding
accomplices, one of whom was a Bel
grade student named Grebes. The
conspirators traveled separately to
Sarayevo, where the bombs were di
vided among them in a confectionery
shop on the morning of the attempt.
Acoordlng to Gabrlnovlcs, Prlnzlp
told him he bad given bombs and
poison to three other comrades, whose
names he did not divulge.
Prlnzlp, who had previously denied
that he had any accomplices, broke
down under examination and ex
claimed: "I now regret my crimo,
for my comrades deserted me in a
shameful manner. They should have
thrown tho bombs, but the cowardly
scoundrels did not. ' Consequently, I
revenge myself on them by betray
ing them."
Grabes has been arrested and ad
mits having received bombs and
poison. ;
