FLORIDA WATERS
THRILLING EXPERIENCE IN CAP
TURE OF MONSTER SHARK
SAVANNAH MANS VENTURE
THE CATCHING OF LARGE FISH
is FREQUENTLY THE CASE.

- pleasures OF deep sea fishing
in Florida waters are being exper-
fenced by an enthusiastic Savannah
! fisherman, Mr. Philip L. Falligant,
who writes that he has never seen
anything like it.
! On Saturday, the oath of April, he
landed a sixteen-fOot sawfish, and the
; following account OF a fight with j
shark, which comes from the Miami
{ Metropolis, will serve to show how
thrilling is the sport. Mr.. Falligant
was one Of the party capturing the
shark:
| The story o. the capture of this
giant shark, true in every word of IL,
makes the yarns of writer's of fiction
pale into insignificance. 1t was an ex-
! perience few would care to encounter.
Capt. Thompson went to sea IN
his twenty-two-foOt power dOry in
quest of green turtle. He was accom-
panied by his brother-in-law and Mr..
Falligant, and when on the bathing
pavilion. half a mile or more, he ran
into school of fully one hundred
| hammerhead sharks.
Singing oUt the largest one in
| the school, Capt. Thompson, standing
in the bow OF the boat, drove his
aarpon deep into the back of the mon
ster. The shark was then not more
than fifteen feet away from the boat.
and Immediately 1t began to fight.
With the first rush 1t struck the
! bow of the craft, and not being pre-.
pared for an attack, Capt. Thomp-
son was knocked overheard.
Many Other Sharks.
| "a number of other sharks in the
school were near at hand, but Thomp-
son is just about as good a swimmer
I h Oh IL,
! few seconds. Then the fight be-
gan. Back and forth, up and down
the beach, on shore and in shore the
monster towed the dory as if it were
a c1ip.
Sometimes Capt Thompson would
/ get near enough to lab the shark
with a lighter pair of grains, infiieting
only skin wounds, while at others il
| would have out every foot OF line
attached TO the harpon imbedded in
! its back, towing the boat. at a fright

! AT times it looked as If the boat
would be attacked, so srenzied were
they by the smell of blood and hun

own kind swapping and gnawing it's

hurled into its body it ceased to fight
and vas pulled up at the stern Of the

| Arriving at the Seminole dock the
monster was hauled out with the aid
of a block and tackle Capt. Thomp-
son estimated it's weight at 1.500
! pounds. though old boatmen and sea-
sOned fishermen declared IL would go
nearer 1000 pounds. 1t was pro-
nounced the largest fish Of the kind

 The county has started an investi- gation of the typhoid fever epidemic at Benson, one step in that direction being a personal trip of inspection to the scene of the disease outbreak by Dr. A. R. Hickman of this city. county health office. While non-committal as to the course he will pursue in the future, Dr. Hickman freely admitted that conditions are bad at the june. ton town.
 T found conditions not exagger- ated." said the county health officer Aside from a few minor matters of detail and of no consequence, the truth has been told regarding the epi. demic"
 The cases were as numerous as re- ported and the origin of the infection s supposed to be the family of re- gently arrived dairyman. While de claring that prompt and effective methods to stop the spread of the disease will be instituted at once Dr. Hickman would not volunteer to make public what steps are to be taken.

STICK AND SOUP BONE
 USED IN SILENT FIGHT

DOUGLAS. July 29.-(Special.)-
 A big stick and a soup bone are the weapons with which Frank Williams and Julius Glover. both negroes, en- gagged in a brief and peculiar battle on G. Avenue last evening. While the instruments of assault in this case are peculiar, 1t was the silence and the tone of dignity which pervaded the scene of the encounter that made 1t notable, especially when 1t Is con sidered that the combatants are mem bers of a race given to volubility.
 As Williams and Glover met upon the street. Glover brought into view a large club with which he whaled VII. Hams over the head just once. Quick as a flash. Williams. whose head was un.mpressed by the strong blow of the big stick. retaliated and landed with the bony part of the soup bone well upon the upper jaw of Glover. Apparently satisfied. neither said a word nor took a further menacing action. Williams proceeded on down the street while Glover, from whose face blood was dripping. went to the once of Drs. Armstrong and vanne- man for attention.

MEXICO NOT IN DANGER
 OF REYES REVOLUTION

The following Is taken from the edi. torial columns of the Fl Paso Times and probably Is correct as to the con ditions in our sister Republic:
 The rioting n the states of Guada- lajara and Sonora caused by support. CTS of General Reyes, who is an avowed candidate for the vice presi. dency of Mexico in opposition to the incumbent, Ramon Corral. sounds om- nious at th,s distance and to those who are unfamiliar with Latin-Amer- ican inflammabi,ity. and with Mexi- can politics and political methods.
 As a matter of fact it is no more evidence of the weakness of the Diaz regime or of the Mexican government than the riots in the strike in Phila. delph'a are evidences of weakness in MT. Taft's administration or in the American government. the cases are not altogether analogous as the cause of the former Is political and the lat. ter industrial. but serve to show that incidents of that knd are compara- lively trifling.
 Nor can. these affairs at Guadala- jara and other scattered points be re- garded as evidence of any great po- lit'cal strength of General Reyes.
 The fight of Reyes against Corral s not a new thing born of present DO litical ambition. It Is personal and had its origin in political rivalry be tween the two more thar thirty years ago. when Corral defeated Reyes. and f Reyes lived in this country his rec ord and his political actions wonld win for him the soubriquet of sore head
 Reyes personal following is re- spectacle both in numbers and in standing. He organized the militia feature of the Mexican army and is popular with the young citizens in sympathy with the spirit of m;litar- ism and is sad to be popular with the army which in Central American countries is regarded as the biggest asset of a candidate for office.
 The Reyistas are not, however, nu- merically Or otherwise strong enough to overthrow the Diaz government if they so desired, which they probably do not, and the demonstrations which have in several instances degenerated into small riots. were not intended as demonstrations against the govern

UNDERWRITING BOARD JuGGLES ITS ANSWER 10 SHELTER CITY REFERS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO AMBIGUOUS LETTER
 WRITTEN DALEY sTIIl NOTHING DEFINITE AS TO EFFECT ON RATES OF
 FIRE ALARM

DOUGLAS, July 29.-(Special)--
 The secretary Of the board of firs underwriters for the Pacific coasi writes like a railroad man talks ;thai is, when one seeks to get definite in formation from him about a rate re duction. he will reply gracefully te the effect that Los Angeles profited by the Elks' convention or that it was very bad storm at Galveston. but that the efnciency of the seawall had been proven.
 When the agitation for a fire alarm system in Douglas was started some time since, 1t was rumored that in surance men said such a system as was proposed would cut the insurance rates from eight to ten per cent. City Clerk Daley wrote to Secretary Man waring for information and the ans wer from the board of underwriters was a masterly example of how a let. ter devoid of definite information should be written. It was a model that should find its way into all busi. ness ofices where indefiniteness is a desirable quality.
 Then the chamber of commerce got busy. Maybe we can get something out of the board of underwriters" one of the directors suggested. And the secretary wrote Mir Manwaring Then came Mir Manwar:ng-s still more mas teriy stroke of finnesse It also should be construed as model letter-a fal- low-up to the former lefter-contain- ing such perfect tactful ambiguity of meaning. q refer you" he said in effect, "to the letter wrote City Clerk. Daley" which. in effect, was not to answer the chambers letter at all.

i ment. but to form a display of the strength of Reyes by his partisans.
 So far as America is concerned it has a very lively interest in Mexican affairs because of the vast sums of money which her citizens have in vested In mines and other enterprises there. For the same reason the gov. ernments of England. France, Germany and Spain are interested. All these countries desire a strong, stable gov ernment for the protection of those interests. None of them, however, has deemed political conditions there grave enough to cause even a thought of interference.
 There is nothing in Reyes history. personal. military or oficial that gives assurance that if he were elected vice president and succeeded to the presi- dency that he would be able to so far control his temper or the leg slative branches of his government as to safe guard the foreign investments in the republic. In fact. his anti-foreign sem timents are well known and his bitter denunc. .ations of the United States at the time of the Panama canal pur- chase when he held high official posi- ton. and his opinions In consequence had great weight, lead to the belief that if he should become the head of the government. he would not be slow to show h,s dislike by adverse action against American investments.
 We may be very sure that all the countries interested are fully aware of this. and that if his candidacy had sufficient strength to constitute menace to the interests of the!r citi- zens they would not be slow to act.
 The strongest evidence we have that there is no danger of a political npheaval in Mexico is that American investors in Mexico have shown no uneas'ness, nor have plans for the in nor have plans for the in in railroads. mines. oil develoments and other great enterprises. been al- tered or amended and activities are
