Roumanian Mission on Pacific Coast.
A PACIFIC POItT, June 22.—The
mission of the kingdom of rtoumania
reached the United States today and
will proceed at once to Washington.
The representatives of the little
kingdom were met by state and city
officials and were given a hearty re
ception.
Cheering news brought by the mem
bers of the commission Is that Rou
mania is preparing to raise a new
army to cope with the Germans.
A new army of six hundred thou
sand men Is being rapidly assembled
in the section of Itoumania still held

connected with the Stone power plant
project. Is reported to have left Shelton
for Mary’s Igloo in a gas launch be
longing to the ex-eorninissloner. The
lnunch, loaded with heavy drill parts,
belonging to the Fairhaven Ditch Co.
According to the story told by John
son after his return to Shelton some
time later, all went well for a time
until the launch was making u short
turn around a sand bar about which!
the water of the swollen stream was
rushing violently. The short turn
combined with the rushing current
caused the launch to tip in such man
ner that, before the occupants were
aware of what was . happening, the
sw'irling water was pouring over the
side, and .before cither could move,
tilled and sank beneath them.
Johnson says that it alt happened so
quickly that neither Thomas or him
self knew what was happening until
they were in the water to their arm
pits, and in a flash were swept away.
Johnson saw his clothes sack floating
near him and seized upon It for sup
port before looking around to see what
had became of his companion. The
unfortunate man was some distance
away in water up to his mouth, fight
ing desperately against the strong
current. Judge Thomas called to
Johnson to save himself if he coulil.
Tightly hugging the sack of clothes
Johnson was carried away and saw no
more of his ill-fated fellow voyager.
Borne on the swift flowing waters and
holding to his precarious support with
difficultly, Johnson was carried fully
two miles down stream before he could
make a lumping. After Reaching
shore Johnson turned back to Shelton
and reported the fatality. The fol
lowing morning Johnson, accompanied
by isadore FI*, of Shetlon, went down
the river to search for the missing
man. The launch was located bottom
up on a sand bar about one and a
half miles below the scene of the aeci
lent but nothing could be seen of
, udge Thomas.
The deceased was well known in the
district and was universally liked by
all with whom he came In contact
owing to a generous and genial dis
position and u rare fund of fellow
ship for his fellow man. For years
he acted as ex-oificia judge and United
States commissioner of the district
in which he met his untimely end. At
the time of his death ho was filling
the position of postmaster of Shetlon.
