BROWNS AT ATLANTIC CITY
Fifty Rescues Give Lifeguards a
Busy Day.
/ BY telegraph 10 The Trihune. ]

Atlantic City, Aug. 24.-John G. Nc
Fate. Of st. Louis, lost his life While
bathing in the surf here to-day. Physi-
clans are inclined 10 believe death was
due to heart disease as much as to
drowning. He was caught i'm an Offset
and was carried off his feet.
He called for help. and all the life
guards sprang to the rescue. Miller and
Brown manned one of the boats, while
the other guards grabbed life lines and
buoys and dashed into the surf. The sea
was rough and the currents strong, but
the men in the boat finally got near
enough to toss a buoy 10 McFate. He
grasped it and clung fast while the
guards started TO tow him to shore. AS
they reached the breakers a big comber
dashed into their boat and filed and
swamped IT, Miller jumped into the sea
and caught McFate, and with the as
sistance of Rogers, brought him 10 shore
unconscious.
Fully fifty rescues were made to-day.
Never has the sea been so treacherous.
This afternoon a young man named
Carney. of Philadelphia, was caught in
the offset but was picked up by William
Webber and brought 10 q point Of safety.

BAYONETS CURB JEW RIOTS
More Disorder in Bargoed, but
Rest of Wales Is Quiet.

London. Aug. 24-Except in Bargoed
the anti-Jewish outbreaks in Wales have
ceased. Public meetings have been held
az Tredegar and other towns. at which
citizens enrolled themselves as volun-
teers tc help keep order. The Jews who
fed from their homes. having placed
their families in safety in Cardiff, are
returning 10 look after their abandoned
property.
Riotine and stone throwing were re-
newed in Bargoed tonight. Troops were

with bavonet charges. The rioters
smashed shop windows but had no
chance TO loot. They reassembled at the
village Of Gifach. a mile distant. where
more conflicts occurred between them
and Tho police Several persons were
injured
The Jewish World" commenting on
tho outbreaks. admits that in one par
,ic,lar quarter the charges against the
Jews may be substantiated, but that in
general they are baseless. II reads the
lesson that even in England among the
dreqs Of the population the old cry Of

importance TO this information, the more

good faith of his informant, and he has
sent 4 message 10 the Bordeaux police,
with full description Of the individual
and an urgent request TO arrest him.
Another report that the picture has
passed through Belgium is also being
Investigated, but the evidence in that
instance is not so circumstantial as the
