New Jersey Man, Despite First
Wound, Gives Life Try
ing to Save Lad.
ANOTHER IS BADLY TORN
Xiejs Is lacerated Into Shreds Before
3Ionster Is Driven Away; At
' tack Is Third Made on Bath
ers in Two Weeks.
MAT A WAN, N. J., July 12. Lester
fitillwell. 12 years old, was killed by a
man-eating shark while bathing in an
arm of Raritan Bay near here this
afternoon. Stanley Fisher. 24 years old,
who went to his aid. was so badly in
jured in a struggle with the sea
monster that he died while being taken
to a. Ivongr Branch hospital. Joseph
Dunn, 12 years old, bathing some dis
tance away in the same inlet, was at
tacked by a shark and one of his legs
was so lacerated it probably will have
to be amputated.
This is the third time within two
weeks that sharks have claimed the
lives of bathers along the New Jersey
coast. Charles K. Van Sant, a youth
of Philadelphia, was killed by one off
Beach Haven. N. J., July 2. Charles
Bruder, of Spring Lake, N. J., was at
tacked and both his legs taken off by
a shark, July 6. He died while men
who went to his rescue were- carrying
him ashore.
A dozen or more boys, who also were
bathing in the inlet, heard Stillwell's
screams for help today. Fisher, who
was standing on the bank went to the
rescue. He had only gone a few feet
when the shark attacked him, tearing a
piece out of one thigh.
In spite of his wound. Fisher caught
the boy up in his arms and had started
for shore when the shark renewed the
attack. Burdened as he was. Fisher was
helpless and the shark snapped off his
leg. Fisher released his hold on Still
well and himself sank beneath the
surface, unconscious.
Heedless of the danger another boy
sprang into the inlet and dragged
Fisher out. No trace of Young Stillwell
was found and it is believed he was
devoured by the shark.
The Dunn boy, according to persons
who were standing on the bank of the
inlet, also was attacked soon after
going into the water. An elder brother
and another boy went to his rescue.
. They succeeded in driving off the
shark, but not until after the younger
T'unn's leg had been torn almost to
shreds from the knee down.. He is ex
pected to recover.

U-LINER MAYG0 TO BOARD
(Continued From First Page.)
abandoned any intention of libeling the
vessel.
Although State Department officials
virtually . are convinced that the
Deutschland is strictly a merchant
vessel, the advice of the neutrality
board probably will be sought before a
final ruling is made.
Acting-Secretary Folk indicated to
day that the ruling would not be de
layed long and it may be announced
tomorrow. It is understood he con
siders that there is nothing lacking
to establish the Deutschland's status
ss a peaceful merchantman, but de
sires to consult the neutrality board to
Rive added weight to the department's
formal decision.
Officers Agree on Status.
The detailed report or Collector Ryan
at Baltimore, holding that the sub
marine could not be converted into a
war vessel without "extensive struc
tural changes" was forwarded by the
Treasury Department today to Mr.
Polk. It probably will be made public
tomorrow.
At the Treasury Department tonight
it was said that the collector, the sur
veyor of 'the port and Captain C. F.
Hughes, of the Navy, who examined the
submersible at the request of the State
Department, were recorded in the re
port as agreeing that she was in every
sense a merchant vessel.
The allied embassies here added
nothing today to the representations
they have made suggesting that the
Deutschland is a potential warship and
Mr. Polk said he anticipated no serious
opposition from that source to the de
partment's ruling. Counsellor Barclay,
of the British Embassy, conferred with
the Acting Secretary, but said after
ward he had made no new representa
tions. Diplomats of the allied countries re
ceived information during the day indi
cating that the Deutschland was con
voyed from Bremen almost to the
Chesapeake capes by a neutral mer
chantmen, presumably Norwegian,
wecusn or Dutch, which aided in
shielding her from detection by enemy
warships and also acted as a tender.
This information may be communicated
later to the State Department and in
vestigation requested. Allied warships
are saia now to he searching for the
convoy snip.
Various rumors indicating that the
submarine might have had a convov
have reached the State Department, but
none or tnem ever was given credence.
One was that a British steamer which
large submarine bound eastward in
convoy of a steamer.
The State Department already has
begun consideration of questions in
volving departure of the Deutschland.
To prevent violation of neutrality by
forwarding of military information
from this country regarding the
Deutschland's movements, officials are
considering whether the Government
should prevent dissemination of news
of her sailing.
Indifference Is Denied.
Other troublesome questions prob
ably will arise from the visit of the
Deutschland. officials realize, but they
will be considered as they develop.
The State Department today formally
denied published reports that it would
not be concerned if the Deutschland
should be attacked and sunk in vio
lation of international law by hostile
warships after leaving the United
States.
Interest in reports that other Ger
man merchant submarines may visit
the United States was indicated by a
dispatch sent by the department to
day to the American Consul at Bre
men, inquiring why he did not confi
dentially advise the Washington Gov
ernment of the sailing of the Deutsch
land.

flammable -material all around, the
flames burned rapidly and destroyed
the entire plant.
The mill had a capacity of 65,000 feet
of lumber and one car of shingles daily.

BALBOA PARK. Exposition Camp,
San Diego, Coal., July 12. (Special.)
One of the happiest of the soldier or
ganizations in camp getting ready
for Mexican border patrol duty is
Troop A of Oregon. News reached
Captain. George A. White late today
that the 103 horses and eight mules
for the combat wagons were due to
morrow. -
The news of the coming of the horses
spread among the . troopers and after
inspection and th,e retreat bugles had
been sounded, the Oregon boys gath
ered in groups and conjectured on what
might happen tomorrow, on what sort
of a horse it would be his good fortune
to have assigned to him. The mounts
are coming from Fort Keogh, Mont.,
but whether the animals are broken
or lust plain unbroken broncos, is not
known.
Practically' the entire camp asked for
permission to go to the San Diego
stock yards tonight and wait for the
arrival of the nags.
Troopers Learn Rapidly.
Captain White remarked today that
if the troopers learned the mounted
drill as quickly as they had mastered
drilling on foot the troop would get
to its border line in less than three
weeks.
Today was like the rest of the days
with the troopers. The morning duties
included three hours of hard drilling
and in the afternoon there was a gen
eral camp cleaning. A new shower
bath has been constructed in the can
yon below- the camp and after beds
and kits had been thoroughly cleaned,
the entire company was marched to the
new shower and each in turn enjoyed
the new baths. One of "the strictest
rules of the camp and one that the
officers insist on is three, if not more,
baths each week.
Next to the mounts' coming the most
important news is the recovery of
"Trooper." the handsome English coach
dog. Trooper is the mascot of the com
pany. . When the first battalion moved
away Trooper disappeared. Rumor
came back from Palm City that Troop
er had deserted and gone way with the
"dough' boys."
Captain . Sends for Doe.
Captain White did not believe this,
so he detailed Trooper Claude E. Mor
gan to go to Palm City and get Trooper,
even if he had to carry the case up
to Colonel McLaughlin.
When Trooper Morgan arrived at
the camp at Palm City, he found Troop
er securely tied up. Without asking
"By your leave" Trooper, who looked
not unlike a Mexican that had taken
part in the raid of Columbus, was un
tied and brought back to camp. Trooper
was happy to get back, but not nearly
as happy as the members of Troop A.
Trooper has some history. It seems
Trooper Thomas H. French, formerly
a well-known business man of Portland,
bought the dog while the boys were
in camp at Clackamas for 10 cents. He
in turn mortgaged Trooper to Trooper
Monroe for 20; cents. Trooper is not
concerned about the mortgage falling
due. he is just happy tonight, because
he is back.
