HUGE ICEBERG'S ECHO
WARNS SHIP IN FOG
British Steamer Surrounded by
Perils Off Newfoundland
Banks on Trip.

Captain Weeks, of the British steam
ship Isle of Null. reported on arrival
Yesterday from Lisbon that he had had
a close call with an ice field off the
Newfoundland Banks on June 10. En-
countering fog in the forenoon, he
steamed at reduced speed on his regu-
lar course until about noon, when he
felt the presence of ice. He was posi-
tive. he said, that one or more big
bergs unseen by him were unpleasantly
close.
Throughout the run through the fog
he sounded his fog signals, but sud
denly he heard what he thought was
the long blast Of steamships whistle,
which he believed was an answer to
his own. Each time he signalled the
answer came back.
The regularity of the answer, how
ever, made him think it might be the
echo Of his own whistle sent back 20
him by the icebergs. Then he expert
mented with q seri' OF short blasts,
and, getting a similar reply, became
convinced that il was an echo and that
he was dangerously close TO one or
more fergs.

SAY RUBIN WILL GO;
ROW WITH WOODS
Sleuths Hear Deputy Will
Quit Soon-Scull May
Get Job.

J. Robert Rubin, Second Deputy Po-
lice Commissioner, has had serious
break with Police Commissioner Ar
thur Woods, The Tribune was informed
last night, and Is due to relinquish his
Office in about ten days, or as soon as
the reorganization of the detective bu-
reau is effected.
Guy II. Scull, secretary to the Com
missioner, it Is also reported, has been
selected to take Mr.. Rubin's place.
The man who so informed The Trib-
une is a member of the uniformed
force, whose previous tips on police
changes have generally proved accn-
rate.
The rumor has been in limited cirru-
lation for about a week, the report be
ing confined pretty closely to members
Of the detective bureau.
Backed by District Attorney Whit
man, whose assistant Mr.. Rubin was
until he entered the Police Department,
and Mayor Mitchell, Police Commits
soner Mckay supplanted Second Dep
uty Dougherty with Mr.. Rubin last
February, Rubin taking over active
charge Of the detective bureau. Ar
thur Woods was appointed Commits
sioner to succeed Mckay in April.
The day before Mr.. Woods took office
he was asked whether he would retain
- ha icci 10
hesitated in his answer for several min
utes and then made this studied re-
ply:
II should hope that they'll all re-
main."
In the relations between the Com
missioner and Mr.. Rubin nothing un-
usual was remarked, and that was the
situation until the careful work Of
shaping the reorganization Of the De-
tective Bureau reached an advanced
stage. Then. it was said, a sudden air
ton OF Woods and Rubin and it was
surmised that they had differed in
their opinions Of just how some Of the
reforms in the bureau should be
planned.
Within the past week more notice
able events at Police Headquarters
have stood out in verifcation Of the
report. Whereas Deputy Commission
er Rubin handled all of the matters af-
fecting the Detective Bureau. numerous
subjects on which Mr. Rubin had been
wont to pass final judgment did not get
to him at all, but were turned by Com
missioner Woods directly over to Sec
retary Scull.
About this time. we'll informed mem
bers of the Detective Bureau heard that
Mr. Rubin had asked Mayor Mitchell
To- relieve him of his duties and that at
the same time Commissioner Woods,
pleased with the manner in which Mr..
Scull disposed OF the matters he had
been called on to settle. told him that
as soon as the Detective Bureau re-
organization is completed-which de-
velopment. 1t is expected, will be
reached in about week or ten days
he will be appointed Second Deputy.

FIVE LIONS DEVOUR
BROOKLYN MANAGER
E. D. Dietrich Killed While
One Beast Tries to
Save His Life.
ANIMALS OWNED BY
VICTIMS FIANCEE
Terrified Crowds Watch Firemen
Rescue Body with Pike and
Formaldehyde.

Chicago. June 21.-Six lions killed
and partly devoured Emerson d. Die
trich, Brooklyn manager of a theatri-
cal production presenting trained
troupe. when he entered tonight the
car in which they were Gagged.
While the keepers were trying to re-
cover Dietricks body from the beasts,
a lion escaped from an adjoining cage
and terrorized residents of the thickly
populated neighborhood in which the
car stood The beast finally was
driven back TO its car before it harmed
any one.
The lions had become greatly ex-
cited and kept up an incessant roar
ing, that attracted a great crowd They
were kept in an ordinary box car, in
the ends Of which steel cages had
been built. reaching to within a few
feet Of the top Of the car. leaving a
passageway two feet wide between
them. In one cage were the six Older
lions and in the other four younger
ones.
After the dsinfectant had been
thrown into the den. the animals made
repeated plunges at the bars. just out
side of which the rescuers were work
ing.
4 pike pole from the fire department
was used to withdraw Dietrich's body
from the lions. after it had been
sprinkled with formaldehyde to drive
them away. George McCord, keeper OF
the lions. was unable to rescue Dietrich
When he went into the den" Nc
Cord said, Teddy the leader of the
attack, started TO play with him, and
he told the beast TO lie down. Four OF
the lions were facing him. Teddy.
skunk around behind him and in mo-
ment was on his back. Then four
others leaped on him. I think Die
trich's neck was broken at once.
..Trilby. the oldest Of the lions, tried
to save Dietrich, but the others pushed
her away, and she quit and watched
them without Joining in the attack.
The lions were owned by Nine. Adgie
Castillo. to whom Dietrich was en-
gagged to be married. She said she had
formerly taken care of the animals her
self and that none Of them had ever
before given indications of being
vicious. She attributed the attack TO
the fact that the car was dark when
| Dietrich entered.
Police armed with rifles guarded the
lions car tonight. Their taste of
blood apparently had aroused all the
animals TO a high pitch and all night
they maintained an uproar that could
be heard for blocks.
Z. ID. Dietrich, jr, was the son OF
Emerson d. Dietrich, wealthy archi-
tect. who lives at Ss42 Bay Parkway,
Bensonhurst. He was twenty-four
years old and graduate of Erasmus
Hall High School, in Flatbush.
His father said last night that young
Dietrich, who had always been fond
of lions, Joined a show last Christmas
in order that he might be near the ami
mails of which he was fondest Before
becoming an animal trainer young
Dietrich toured the country with an
auto polo team.
Mr. Dietrich, the elder, said last
night that he had telegraphed to Chi
cago to have his sons body brought
TO Bensonhurst for burial
