A Human Skull
Found on Bottom
Portland Harbor
by Coal Dragger

Portland, Me-, Nov 2.-The possibility
of a grisly mystery has been uncovered
by the finding of a mans skull and parts
of the lower jaw by Frank H. HaEer of
! 4o3 Cumberland avenue. who has been
dragging for coal off the Grand Trunk
! docks during the past few days The
matter has been turned over to Medical
Examiner George l. Geer, who is investi-
eating
The first evidence to be brought to the
surface in. the coal drag Of Mr.. Hagar
was the skull, which was brought UP with
load of coal Saturday afternoon. After
examining the skull, to which chung bits
of flesh and parts of the brain, Hagar
showed it to the captain of a Norwegian
steamship which was in the dock at the
time and it was, inadvertently lost over
board. sinking to its former resting place
at the bottom Of the harbor.
This morning while dragging in the
same spot Mr.. Hagar brought to the sur
face human jaw bone to which was at
tached what had apparently been a per-
feet set of teeth. While there was no
flesh on the jaw bone. the condition Of
the teeth indicated that the body had
been that of a young man. this opinion
having been expressed by DR.. Geer. who
was summoned by Chief Bowen. to whom
the case was reported this morning.
Mr.. Hagar and other who have been
dragging for coal in the Grand Trunk
docks believe that a body Is imbedded
in the coal at the bottom Of the dock.
for they claim that every time their
drags reach a certain spot in the dock
that some obstruction Is met with. and
from the fact that the iron ring OF the
drag fails to take up the obstruction
the opinion is freely expressed that the
obstruction is the body to which be-
long the skull and jaw bone already
brought to the surface. The matter
will be investigated by Medical Exam
liner Geer and 1t is probable that an
attempt will be made to bring the BODY
to the surface within few days.
With the finding Of these evidences
that a body is imbedded in the Grand
Trunk docks comes to mind the number
of missing persons. trace of whom mas
never been found. and especially the
mystery surrounding the disappearance
of r. Everett Starrett the Bridgton au-
tomobile dealer. who suddenly dropped
out of sight in this city more than two
months ago and trace Of whom has new
er been found.

WITH LANSING
BEFORE SAILING

Washington. Nov. 27.-Ambassador
Gerard had final conference with
Secretary Lansing today preparatory to
sailing for Germany on December S by
way of Copenhagen.
The ambassador and the secretary
were silent about what was discussed

preston prevailed that the delicate ma
ture of the submarine situation and the
deportation of Belgians to Germany
were discussed. Mr.. Gerard probably
Will see President Wilson tomorrow.
While at the state department Mr..
Gerard went over the Mexican situation
presumably to be in a position to give
first hand information on the subject
to Germany, which has many interests
there. He also passed an hour with AS
sistant Secretary Phillips, who is in d.
rect charge of European affairs.
The United States government AL
ready has called Germany's attention
to the effect upon neutral opinion of
the deportation of Belgians and Mr.. Ge-
rard is expected to supplement the rep
reservations already made BY personal
presentation of the American viewpoint
IN the hope that the situation can be
alleVlated. AS to the submarine situa-
ton Mr. Gerard will be in position to
say that the position of the American
government is unaltered and that 1t ex-
poets Germany to fulfill her pledges.
