CLEARANCEIS
NOT YET FILED
Belief Exists that Negotiations
over Gold Consignment Are
Responsible

Baltimore, Md, July 3.-The only thing
that can be affirmed Of the submarine
merchantmen Deutschland tonight is that
she is alongside pier in the Patapsco
river where she was berthed IA days ago
when she completed her voyage from Ger
many. 1t was officially stated tonight that
clearance papers as yet have not been
filed. and this strengthened the belief
that negotiations for insuring consign-
ment OF gold alone are responsible for the
delay in the submersible's departure.
1t was reported today from what is con-
sidered trustworthy source that gold in
small sacks was carried aboard the vessel
last Thursday by stevedores. 1t was re-
called that extra precautions in guarding
the submarine were taken that day.
Newspaper men were forbidden to climb
a pile driver from which they had been
making observations. 1t was on Thurs
day, too. that 1t was reported in New
York that marine underwriters had been
asked for rates on s4000, 900 consignment
of gold to be dispatched on the Deutsch-
land.

Shooting Mystery at Boston,
May Not Be a Suicide

Boston, July S.-Dr. Wilfrid D. Harris.
who was shot by DR.. Eldridge D. Atwood
Tuesday passed comfortable and en-
couraging day according to the report
from the City hospital today. So far as
known the police have made little pro-
gress in untangling the mystery Of the
shooting which followed the death by
poisoning Of DR.. Atwoods sweetheart.
DR.. Celia P. Adams. Although the police
at first announced that DR.. Adams COM
mitted suicide. the subsequent discovery
that mercuric poison instead OF mar
cotic caused her death led them to in
vestigate the case. Dr. Atwood. who is
locked up on charge Of assault With in
tent to kill, has made no formal state
ment since his alleged story to the police
at the time Of his arrest that he shot Dr.
Harris because Of the latter's relations
with DR.. Adams.

SECOND ARREST
IN HEbERT CASE
EXPECTED soon

Dover, Me. July o3.-The prelimi-
nary hearing given Willis Priest here
Saturday, charged with the murder OF
George Hebert, an aged recluse, at Five
Islands. Me, on March 10, was con-
tinued to Aug. /, after portion of the
testimony had been beard, as the State
did not wish to make public an alleged
confession signed by Priest until OPP
portunity has been given to arrest MS
companion, whose name 1t contains.
County Atty. Hudson stated that the
confession admitted a visit to Hebert's
Camp by Priest and his companion on
the day of the crime and an attempt
10 borrow money. which was refused.
Then. Priest states, Hebert produced q
revolver, with which he threatened
Kim and a struggle ensued, of which
he remembers little, except that when
he and his companion left. Hebert was
lying on the floor still alive. pool OF
blood being on the floor. He claims to
have no recollectin of hitting Hebert
and denies making any search for
money. alleging that his companion
showed him sum II money after they
had gone some distance and gave MIN
something more than 5000.
The medical testimony indicated
that Hebert must have received sew
eral violent blows with some heavy
instrument, the entire left side of his
skull being crushed. The autopsy
showed Hebert TO be in good health
and a powerful man. Witnesses who
viewed the interior of the camp af-
ter the tragedy were of the opinion
that he put up a hard battle for life.
State Detective A. f. Landry, who
has had charge of the investigation.
testified that Priest made a confess
sion substantially as stated by the
county attorney shortly after his ar
rest in a Portland theatre. and that
he repeated it after being brought to
Dover. He denied that any improper
influences were used to obtain a state
mant.

Tragic Incident OF
French Attack Upon
a German Stronghold

Paris, July 23.-The destruction of
a German fortified work on the Somme
front was marked by a tragic episode,
SAYS La Liberte. The order was given
to destroy the fort a whatever cost
In less than six hours more than $500
great shells were fred at it, and the
defenses gave way one by one in a
cloud Of dust and smoke. The infantry
then went forward and the German po-
sitions were conquered.
French artillery officers examining
the ruins, discovered amid a mass OF
debris a Bavarian officer with his chest
crushed and at the point Of death. At
sight of the French officers the Ba
yarian seemed to collect himself, then
began to speak softly, the Frenchmen
kneeling about him.
The story told by the Bavarian and
later recounted by an artillery officer
was to the effect that 80 men had oc
cupied the work. After the lombard
ment had continued for a time half Of
the men we're victims Of an awful
death. Two were deca plated and Of
three others. near whom a shell ex
ploded, not a vestige remained. The
survivors crouched at the bottom or
the subterranean shelters and await
ed their fate.
Another terrific explosion occurred,
the men being thrown together in
confused heap. Almost Immediately
flames shot up from the under ground
cavern. There was a moment Of indie
scribable terror, for now fire was raw
aging the works. The lieutenant in
command went mad and shouted wild
" at ina ginary enemies. Then in the
sinister glare of the flames, the off
Ger set furiously upon his men, kill
ing one after another, and was him
self burned to death.
The Bavarian determined not to die
by the hand of his chief and scaled
the ruins, clinging to slope Of the
work, only to be buried under a block
of stone He died sool after in the hos
pital to which the French officers car
ried him.
