WOUrD-BE SLAYER OF PRESIDENTS IS
 JAILED IN TEXAS
Threatened to Destroy Roosevelt, Wilson, Capi-
 tai and White House.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 5.-Charg- ed with threatening the life of Presi- dent Wilson and also with threatening to kill Former President Roosevelt F. H. Juergens, 26 years old, is in jail here to-day in default of $2,000 bail. The charges were preferred by J. L. Camp, United States district attorney.
 Juergens was arrested after the aI- legged letter to President Wilson had been mailed at Austin and intercept ed by postofhce inspectors, according to the district attorneys office. It was written, they said, on stationery of we'll known business man of Aus tin and signed with lis name, but he was not believed to be connected with the affair.
 The~@etter to. President Wilson as- serted that the writer was a mem Der of an alliance of 150 men who would not rest until the United States observed 'tstrict and impartial neu- traIity'' the test of which would be the refusal of this country to sell mu- nitions to the allies. Until this pur- pose was accom- plished, the writer threatened the destruction of the ma tionaI capital, the White House and finally the life of the Chief Execu- tive.

 LOSE LIVES IN LAKE RESORT FIRE
Eight Cottages Burned And Three Dynamited to Save
 Shore Colony.

Delavan, Wis. Aug 5-Three children were burned to death, eight cottages were destroyed and three were dynamited to save others in a fire at Lake Delavan.. a resort near here today. The fire was brought under control in time to save a num- Der of summer hotels. The dead are Helen, Louey and Mary Bryant An overloaded stove is believed to have caused the blaze.
 Because of the cold weather grate fires have been lighted in the cottages for several nights.
 The children were cut off by the flames and smoke. The children ap- Parently were dazed and refused to jump from the window when told to do so- While their parents watch ed, helpless. their cIotAing caught fire and they fell bac.A into the burning room. A search for a ladder con sumed some time and when it was procured the children were dead.
 Within a few minutes after the fire was discovered the resorters had formed a bucket brigade and water was carried up the beach from the lake and thrown on-the flames The cottages destroyed were only 200 feet from the Highland Hotel, the largest on the lake The property loss was not large.

WILL STOP SHORT
 LOBSTER TRAFFIC
Commission Is On Warpath a and VioIatOrs of Law WilI
 Be Prosecuted.

"Reputable citizens and church people," who throng the Connecticut shore resorts during :. the humid weather of July and August 'tare the to-day, according to Superintendent John M. Crampton of the state com mission of fisheries and game. The idea expressed was that, if the people did not patronize the illegal lobster fishermen and indiscriminateIy buy short Iobs' 1as they are known, the fishermen would confine themselves to the legitimate trade in Holsters with the result that, instead of these shel1fsh commanding from 25 to 50 cents a pound, this seafood might some within the reach of all at 10 or 12 cents a pound.
 Of late the traffic in short Holsters has been going on to such an alarm ing extent that the commissioners have determined to put stop to it, if possible.
 To this end the commission decided not only to push the prosecution of the willy lobstermen, but to seek out possession, as we'll. There have been several prosecutions for illegal fishing and many more are pending and3 from now on. not only will the offenders be taken to court, but their licenses will be revoked and nets lobster cars pots and the whole equipment will be conf1scated by the state. Reputable folks who have cottages by the sea will also be. prosecuted, if detected in having 4sshorts'' in their possession 1t is estimated that B 1-3 per cent. of the product is taken illegally in cater ing to the short lobster appetite.
 So great has been the illegal taking of Holsters on different sections along the coast that. at a meeting of the fish and game commissioners recently, it was unanimously recommended to have the lobster fishing put under federal control.

SUMMARY OF TODAY'S WAR NEWS

destroying England's maritime
commerce by the use of sub
marines is corroborated by Ger
man newspapers which speak of
the sinking of British merchant
men during the past few days as
a new course of action which it
is hoped will produce striking re-
suits. Five vessels have been tor
pedoed, three in the Irish Sea and
two in the English Channel. The
German papers lay stress upon
the long range of the submarine
whose ability to operate as far
as 1000 miles from their base
distinctly increases the menace to
shipping.
The, violent German attacks in
Poland, along the Warsaw front,
are interpreted by Russian mill
tary authorities as an Indication
that the, German commander,
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg,
has determined to inatgurate a
fenera1 offensive and strike once
more at Warsaw. The Overseas
News Agency announces that re-
ports have been received from
Paris to the effect that q French
torpedo boat had been sunk off
the Belgian coast.

Heavy fighting has been resuI1-
ed along the Warsaw front in
Poland after a long period of
comparative activity. An official
communication from Petrograd
describes battles along the Wis
tu1a near Borjimow where, it is
said, Germans are dislodged with
bayonets from trenches they had
captured, two companies of their
soldiers being almost annihilated.
The Germans later undertook an
attack upon the Russian advance
trenches and succeeded in get
ting one position. -

Tsabriz, Northern Persia, unoffS-
eially reported last week, is an
