At the appointed time iatboat took
him out some distance from shore an |
after being tied up In the sack he was
thrown overheard. He had hardly got
more than 30 feet below the surface
when something bumped against the
sack and almost instantly the idea
flashed through his mind that 1t was
a shark. Before he could do anything
there was a bump from the other side
OF the bag. In moment or two he
had cut his way out and was rising
to the surface, still clutching the knife
In his hand. Once something cold
grazed his leg as he was rising.
On reaching the surface he was
greeted with cheers, but noted with
dismay that there were no boats near.
I,e started to swir toward the nearest
boat when the wafer parted few feet
to one side and he could make out the
long, black fin of a shark. The mon
ster headed at once for him and as he
was about to dive to escape Its clutch
another shark dashed In.
AS the first shark turned over on his
side in order to bite. Clark dived be-
low the surface, then up under the
shark and drove the knife time after
time into it's vitals. and 1t sank to the
bottom AS he came to the surface

SUFFERS FATAL STROKE
Business Man Stricken With Apo
plexy When Taken to Po-
lice Station.

NEW YORK. December 19-William n
Mann, sixty years old. president of the
Vacuum Oil Company of % Broadway, is
pital, Hoboken. He suffered a stroke OF
apoplexy. brought on by his indignation
at being arrested Saturday night on a
tunnel train Of the Hudson and Manhat-
tan company.
He was returning from his ONCE in
New York to his home in Summit, n. ].
In the tunnel he became engaged in ar
alteration with Edgar Blackledge of &c
Fulton street, Montclair. What the diff.
lie. 1t was to have been revealed at a
hearing yesterday morning.
The argument became heated, and Mr..
Blackledge. who is a considerably younger
man. declared that Mr.. Mann struck him
In the face.
When the train reached Hoboken Mr.
Backledge insisted upon the arrest of
Mr.. Mann, whose protests were seconded
In vain by other passengers.
The aged man walked from the station
to police headquarters. where he arrived
in a state Of intense excitement. He de-
nounced his arrest as an outrage and de.
clared he was the one who had been at
tackled. He was giving his name and ad
dress when he suddenly began to totter.
and before any one could reach him fell
unconscious to the floor.
An ambulance took him to the hospital
a few blocks away. His wife and brother
were notified by telephone. They reached
the hospital early yesterday and have
been at the bedside ever since. The ply
sicians hold out little hope Of Mr. Mann's
recovery.

G0MPERS ASKS GOVERNOR
TO INVESTIGATE STRIKE
Suffering Said to Exist Among Coal
Miners in Westmoreland
County, Pa.

PITTSBURG. December 19.-It is an
nounced here today that President Sam
uel Gompers has directed a letter to
Gov. Edwin s. Stuart asking him to in
vestigate conditions in the Irwin coal
field in Westmoreland county, where a
strike has been in progress for nine
months. The letter details the action
of the federation's annual meeting in st.
Louis when the delegates asked the ap-
pointment of a legislative commission to
make the investigation. 1t is stated by
labor leaders here that il the governor
fails to act application will be made to
the incoming legislature next month to
name the commission.
1t Is alleged there is much suffering
among the strikers. In opposition to
this, il is declared, the United Mine
Workers of America are sending $4,000
every two weeks into the field for the
maintenance of strikers and their fam
lilies. of which the coal operators saw
there are now no more than 1000, in
stead of the 10000 when the strike began.

Cohen noticed the front door ajar
about 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. He
pushed it open and entered, but fearing
that whoever had broken in might be
armed. decided to call policeman. The
boys heard him and ran In the icebox,
pulling to the door, which can be opened
only from the outside. The beats In
that neighborhood are long and Cohen
walked around for an hour before he
spied Policeman Gisselbrecht Of the
East 104th street station.
Together they searched the place with
out coming across a sign Of burglars.
They were about giving up the job as
hopeless when they heard q faint moan
ing from the icebox. The boys were
too stiff to move, 50 Cohen and Gissel-
brecht slung them over their shoulders
and logged them out like quarters of
beef. Each had to be briskly drubbed
to restore circulation back so he could
walk.

DECIDES NOT TO USE
TERM "ANGLO-SAXON''
Asiatic Exclusion League of San
Francisco Will Substitute the
Word American"

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, December 49,
The term 'Anglo-Saxon" was objected to
so strenuously at a meeting of the Ash
attic Exclusion League here yesterday that
it was decided hereafter to use the word
american in its place In all the papers,
books and documents of the organization.
The delegate who opened the discussion
declared that the Anglo-Saxon race had
been almost extinguished by William the
Conuueror I'm the battle of Hastings and
that the few poor remnants of it that
we're left were greatly in the minority in
the United States.
Another delegate argued even more ve-
hemently against ".AnglO-SaXon," saying
that the population of the United States
was composed mostly of Irish and Ger
mans. with a sprinkling Of Scandinavians
and people of the Latin countries.
The use of the popular designation, he
said, was an insult to the Germans and
'rish-Americans.
