the Philadelphia medical student who was

the Philadelphia medical student who was
drowned of the foot Of Fourth avenue
several days ago, proved to the surfmen
who engaged in the search that he was the
victim OF the dreaded SEQ puss.
The young man sank and before the
guards could reach him he had been drawn
under a second time. He did not come
to the surface again:
Surfmen explain that the sea puss ia
created by the rush OF water over the sand
fats. The water is shallow on the fats
and in a strong coastwise current II PUSHES
over the end into deep water with great
power, forming a downward and of-shore
suction that cannot be resisted and becomes
away by the water millrace speed
In the shifting and changing character
of the bottom on this coast, the experts
say, the sea puss cannot always be FORE
seen or provided against, 1t Is OF ire
quent occurrence and a careful watch Is
kept for 1t. Bathers are warned away
whenever the presence of the freak Is
thought possible.

cast. 467 being necessary to choice. The
election of the eighth bishop is now thought
to be between DR.. r. ]. Cooke and J. r.
Day.
Chairman Buckley of the episcopacy COM
mittee made special report to the con-
ference today on the subject of missionary
bishops. The report recommends the cleo
ton Of one additional missionary bishop
for Africa; two for Southern Asia and one
for Japan and Korea
The first and second items Of the report
were adopted and the third item was I'M
der discussion when recess was taken.
The report as whole probably will be
adopted and the election of the mission
airy bishops will follow Immediately after
the balloting for general superintendents
is completed. The committee will make
another report regarding the proposition
to elect missionary bishop for Mexico and
South America.
The itinerary committee made its report
late this afternoon on the proposal to re-
store the fcur-year limit for pastorates. A
majority and minority report were SUBJ
mitted. The former opposed the change,
and a brisk and determined effort was made
to forca it through to adoption without de-
bate. Those favoring the minority report
succeeded In staving OF the vote on the
majority report. after the majority leaders
had accepted the tabling of the minority
report, which recommended the restoration
Of the time limit.
