Following Harvard's dropping Cornell
from It's football schedule ONE from
Cambridge the news that the track ad-
visory committee intends severing track
relations with the 1tbacans as soon as
the present contract expires.
Members of the Harvard committee
say that the desire to meet Princeton in
a dual track meet is the principal rea-
son for the Crimson's decision to drop
Cornell. They point out that Cornell
always has been a hard nut for Harvard

to Ithaca IL distasteful to the Cam
bridge athletes.
Coming right on the heels Of the N
nouncement that Harvard had decided
not TO meet Cornell OF the gridiron tn,
decision to sever track n field connec-
tions too would tcnd to make some per-
sons think that the relations between
the institutions are somewhat strained.
The present contract. calls for the reg
ulay Cornell dual meet and the
Crimson's spring track schedule remains
unchanged. The meet with the Ithacans
will take place at Cambridge on May

Haughton and weeghman were said
TO have been at a conference at the Har-

had numerous conferences slnce the big

FIVE SHARKS KILLED
OFF OYSTER BAY
One, Eleven Feet Long, Gives
Battle to Captors.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. Five
sharks. the largest nearly eleven feet
long, were caught in Long Island Sound,
off Centre Island, to-day by Captain
Daniel W. Smith and Charles Devoe'
two veteran fishermen of Oyster Bay
The big fish were harpooned near the
entrance to Oyster Bay harbor and
dragged up on the beach of the Col
gate Hoyt estate and killed with stones.
There were many bathers in the vicin-
itv and the sight of the dead sea mon
sters quickly drove them out OF the
water. Captain Smith brought the
sharks to Oyster Bay and hung them
I'D in front of his bungalow, near the
oyster docks, where they attracted hun
dreds of curious sightseers from all
parts of Long Island.
The largest shark Of the catch, ac-
cording to Smith, put up a terrlhc Dat
tie before it was killed. Many OF the
wealthy residents of Oyster Bay, whose
estates are on the water, some time ago
reported the presence Of sharks IN the
waters around Oyster Bsv, and the au-
tborities commissioned Smith to patrol
the bsy in search OF them. In addition
10 the five caught, Smith asserted ne
sighted many more and vii! continue

DOG MANGLES CHILDREN,

Dives Through Window in
Frenzy, Due to Heat.

Two children and a policeman in
West New Brighton, Staten Island,
were bitten and clawed last night by
a dog that dived through a closed
window into Mrs. George Newbranth's S
home, at No. 236 Broadway.
Mrs. Newbranth's baby son, one and
one-half years old, and her daughter
Sara, five, were playing on the floor of
the library in the home when the dog,
a huge collie, shattered a front win
dow glass and plunged into the room.
II sprang upon the crouching children,
bit their hands and legs and then
tried unsuccessfully to make its exit
through a screen that barred a win
dow of the dining room.
Its head caught in a narrow hole
il had torn in the screen, and while
il struggled TO free itself, Mrs New
branth fed screaming into the street
with her children in her arms.
Patrolman George Dunn, of the West
Brighton station, attracted by the
dogs yelps and by the cries of the
mother and her injured children.

fought against the animal with his
nightstick, il succeeded in sinking its
teeth deep into his right leg, tearing
a Jagged wound. He finally crowded

Secretary of Labor Wilson in his un-
announced visit to President Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor
in New York yeste. day is understood
to have urged the labor leader to use
all his influence with the union Of
ficials in favor of mediation. Some
thing of the damage which the Presi-
dent believes such a strike would do
to the cause OF union labor if mediation
efforts were refused is understood TO
have been also pointed out. Officials
here, however, are doubtful whether
even Mr.. Gompers can influence the
situation.

clared to-day, that the entire Federal

THINK BREMEN IS
OFF MAINE COAST
Two Submarines Reported
by Lookout on Cross
Island.

Portland, Me-. Aug. Every point
along the Maine coast was watched
sharply to-day and tonight for sub
marines, believed 10 be foreign yes
sells and possibly the long
German merchantmen Bremen and
consort.
The strange vessels were reported
five miles eff Cross Island, near
Machias, and close to Canadian waters
to-day by a coast guard lookout, but
no word had reached here tonight to
bear out the emphatic declaration
from that station that they are under
sea craft, and were proceeding at top
speed toward the west.
During the afternoon. when the
watchers were most alert, thick fog
moved in from sea and made extended
observation impossible.
The lookout at Cross Island. Lowell
w. Dunn, was unable to distinguish
the nationality of the strange craft
which he saw, but he was still in
sistent tonight that there could be no
mistake in his identification of the
vessels as submarines.
The lookout said that as the first
submarine came to the surface ne
heard several blasts from the signal
horn at the lighthouse on Seal Island,
British possession.
1t is believed that the keeper OF the
lighthouse was signalling to the keeper
at Grand Manan Light, also British
owned, that a submarine had been
sighted.
The keeper of the lighthouse at Petit
Manan, on coming ashore to-day, SAID
that while he had failed TO get a
glimpse of a submarine he had been

fused, however, 10 state from whom his
instructions were received.
The Navy Department announced that
no American submersibles were OIL the
Maine coast. and information from re-
liable sources that no British subma-
rines were cruising in these waters
seems TO create the impression in the
minds of many marine observers that
the Bremen was lodging about close TO
the three-mile limit preparing to slip
into Boston or Portland.
Another possibility considered was
that the coast guard crew might have
seen the Deutschland, driven out of her
course, perhaps, or else sticking closely
to shore for reasons best known to her
skipper.
Washington, Aug. Navy officers
said to-day no American submarines
were known to be anywhere In the VI
cinity of Cross Island. They thought
the boat sighted there might be the

tfrrn A STAFF Correspondent OF The Tribune.

tfr,rn STAFF Correspondent OF The Tribunal
Detroit, Aug. Just one day of ac-
tual campaigning has been sufficient to
prove that the Charles E. Hughes OF
real life and the cold ex-justice Of
fiction are in no way related. Mr.
Hughes broke all known local records
TO-. strenuous work to-day when he de-
liv,red six addresses, kept a score OF
important engagements and shook
hands with or was heard by at least
$4,000 men and women. During all OF
his crowded day he paid less attention
to the weather than any one of his
rapidly willing party.
Mr.. Hughes proved that he was
equally at home whether discussing
suffrage affairs with a delegation of
women whom he received in the morn
ing at the Hotel Pontchartrain or in
roofing for Detroit's famous baseball
stars in the afternoon. And during
the entire crowded day he showed
every evidence Of enjoying himself as
completely as dust and wilted collars
would permit
IL his first set speech, which was de-
livered at night, Mr.. Hughes severely
arraigned the Wilson Administration
not only for it's European policy but
because of its attitude toward Mexico.
"Say, Teddy never done anything
more than this when he made his big
gest hit here" was the way one old
citizen put it. 81 guess there ant no
body here thought Mr.. Hughes was
like this"
Best Meeting of the Day.
II was at the main meeting Of the
day, at Arcadia Hall, that the greatest
enthusiasm was exhibited. Speaking
extemporaneously, Mr.. Hughes came
nearer to getting down to actual per
sonalities than he has in any Of his
previous utterances. And as he ex-
hibited the real fire of his nature the
men and women who had braved a
heavy rainstorm to hear him clambered
upon their chairs and shouted agree
ment with him.
Mr.. Hughes's attack upon the kept
us-out-of-war" argument also aroused
storm of enthusiasm.
"Kept us out of war;" he demanded
"Why, there were nineteen men-good
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed

over. it was very ignoble war.
have heard three explanations of the
Vera Cruz move.
First, it was explained that it was
made in order TO compel somebody to
salute the fag-somebody who had in
suited US. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then il was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent the
landing of boatload of ammunition
intended for Huerta The ammunition
landed, however, and it has been shown
that it reached Huerta in due season
without interference on our part.
when that reason was shown TO be
untenable a third 9ne-and possibly
the real one-iinally was advanced.
Il was said that our seizure of Vera
Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this is true, although we had
promised the Mexicans that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
