TRIO OF SPIES
ARE INTERNED
Man Who Wrecked Seattle Bank and
Accomplices Caught Listening
In
SEATTLE. Aug. 14.—With the
rounding up of Herr Von Avensleben.
who is partly responsible for the fail
ure of the Northern Bank & Trust
company, on which he unloaded worth
less coal properties, George F. Schoe
tenberg, a German tish broker, and
Hans Cron, merchant and lumberman,
the government has stopped the activ
ities of one little bunch of German
spies.
United States District Attorney
Clay Allen charges the latter pair,
jailed August 9th. with being accom
plices of Herr Von Alvensleben, ar
rested here August 8th by federal offi
cers on the charge of being a spy.
The three men are also charged with
endeavoring to obtain secrets concern
ing the Bremerton navy yard, operat
ing from Long Lake, «‘> miles distant,
by intercepting the Bremerton navy
yard radio messages and dispatches.
Capt. Frank Heoser, an interned Ger
man off the steamer Saxonia, seized
in this port last fall, is accused of the
same crime.
Secret service men are investigating
conditions here, as it is believed that
this city harbors a nest of German
conspirators.
The District Attorneys says they
have been almost in daily communi
cation with the German government
and German espionage leaders thruout
the United States.
All three will be interned at Port
land until the end of the war.

BOTTLE THROWN FROM
BARGE FOUND ON INLET
A bottle was found recntly twelve
miles below Tyonic, in which was dis
covered a partly undecipherable mes
sage to the effect that the message
had been cast on t^e waters at a point
somewhere 100 miles up. The name of
the place is discolorable and unread
able. The bottle was thrown from a
burke marked, “C. C. Co., No. 3K” and j
requested that the finder make known!
the place where it was picked up, but
the name of the writer and his ad
dress were too badly blurred to under
stand. The evident intention was to
learn where the bottle would eventu
ally land, but the writer will be dis
appointed unless he chances to read
this mention.
