SEABRlGHT FEARS WAVES
Northeast Wind Piles Sea
Upon Lawns Facing Water.

Sesbright, y. j., July 80. Seabright
is again threatened with great damage
by high seas. A strong northeast wind
to-day whipped the ocean into fury,
and all day il washed over the bulk
heads and upon the lawns of homes
facing the sea. At Normsndie Central
Railway employees strengthened the
bulkheads TO protect the tracks.
Unless the wind changes during the
night il is feared that the bulkhesds
cannot stand the waves for another
twenty-four hours. The ocean is nearly
as high as it was on the nights of De-
cember % and January >. when Sea-
bright was almost washed away.

STOCKS BREAK BADLY
Crowd on Floor Struggles to
Place Selling Orders-All

The most significant happening in
Wall Street yesterday developed two
hours sfter the Stock Exchange mad
closed, when. al the end of a confer
ence Of bankers. in the Offices OF j. P.
Morgan & Co, attended by representa-
tlves Of the New York Stock Exchange,
.he members of the conference ex-
pressed a belief that general war IN
Europe would yet be sverted.
Members OF the conference also de-
clared that the closing of the New
York Stock Exchange. discussed in
some quarters in the Street. was un-
thinkabie so long as there remained a
single person ready to buy the stocks
offered
Among those a. the conference were
J. P. Morgan, II. p. Dawson. of the
Morgan firm; Francis L. Hine, presi-
dent Of the Clearing House Association.

routine meeting of the association lest

Guaranty Trust Company; Benjamin
strong, president of the Bankers Trust
Company, and A. Barton Hepburn,
chairman Of the board OF the Chase
National Bank and former president
Of the Clearing House.

Van Antwerp represented the brokers'
organization. Unlike the others, they
came late and left early.

nouneed, had met TO compare cable ad-
vices from. Europe. formed the most
cheerful group in the Street at sd-

Of Information on which stories OF the
Heitmayer and Littauer customs cases
were written were filed yesterday In the
United States District Court through
Henry a. Wise. ex-United States Attorney.
The two men base their refusal TO
answer on the ground that they do not
wish to incrlminate themselves. Pardons
by President Wilson for any Offences"
they might have committed were handed
them when the case was before Judge
Hand on Thursday. but they refused to
accept them.
In each Of the answers filed yesterday 1t
was said:
Respondent denies the right OF the

to this respondent y full and uncondi-
tionai pardon or any other sort or kind
of pardon for any alleged offence OF
which this respondent has not been con-
victed; and alleges that the attempt so
70 do Is unwarranted in law and contrary

Argument Is made that the President
OF the United states has right only TO
grant pardons where crimes have actually
been committed.

tho answers say. tho President only has
power to grant reprieves and pardons

OF or admitted the commission OF any
crime or offence against tho United
