Find Body
Of Victim
Of Shark
Boys Mangled Remains Taken
From Creek Where
He Died
SEA TIGERS TRAPPED

MATAWAN, NJ. j.. July a.
Terribly msnaleo. the body OF
Lester stiilweil. victim Of the
nar-eatina shark, was reeos-
cred from the waters OF Mata-
wan creek early today.
Great Jagged wounds In the
abdomen and breast showed
where the sharks teeth had
closed over the t2-yesr-oId boys
body.
Harry Van Giles. an engineer on
the Jersey Central railroad. and
Il. Clayton. Jr.. who had
been patrolling the bank OF the
creek, at 5 20 a. M. today saw the
body rise To tho surface not more
than 300 feet from where Stillwell
was attacked Wednesday. They
pulled the body ashore and sum
mOned the county physician.
4 complete autopsy will be per.
formed today.
II was tho doctors theory that
the shark must have been about II
or 10 feet In length. and the loca-
tion OF the terrible wounds shows
they believe. that the fish seized
tho boy across the middle OF the
body. rather than striking at his
feet and legs.
All other cases OF attack by
sharks so far reported have shown
that the man-eaters have struck for
the legs OF their victims.
News of the recovery OF little
Lester Stillwell's body aroused all
residents OF this section TO re.
doubled efforts TO capture the man.
eater.
Searchers after sharks in waters
adjacent to this hamlet numbered
hundreds today.
There were professionals and
amateurs. fishermen and Just cur.
ious visitors, sportsmen and scien.
tlsts-the latter seeking positive
proof OF shark attacks. since science
does not yet recognize that fish
will attack a man.
The mouth of Matawan creek is
now completely netted. Volunteers
worked today TO put in plank
screen to back up the nets and pre-.
vent escape OF the three sharks
which have been seen in the upper
reaches of the creek.
The tide begins to go out about
noon. and when II reaches its lowest
ebb the hunters think the creek
will be so shallow that sharks can
be located and killed.

$50 for Seven Winks

Kansas City, Mo, March 12.-George
Stamatois, &c years old, No. $40 Main
street, has not forgotten the customs
of his native Greece. There it seems
to be the fashion to wink at any WON
an you want to become acquainted
with. The Greek custom brought sta
matois to grief in staid Kansas City.
Stamatols entered a department
store the other afternoon. He wtnked
at six pretty girls to no avail he
winked at a seventh, who promptly
seized him by the arm, showed him
store detectives star and escorted nm
to a crossing patrolman.
Stamatois answered charge OF
''mashing" before Justice Charles
Clark, acting Judge. in North Side
Court here soon after.
That winking tricks a favorite
over in Greece, Judge" Stamatois said.
That's the way we meet all our nice
women. I thought it was all right
here, too. I've got to show my appre-
citation of the girls some way.
That's a poor way" Judge Clark
answered. The wink is not favored
in Kansas City. You're fined $50"

ELEPHANT-EARED FISH
HELD 300 YEARS OLD
Catch at Palm Beach Provides Setting
for Real Piscatorial Farming.
Weighs | 800 Pounds.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Palm Beach Fla, March 12-ACcord-
ing to adviCes today from the American
Museum of Natural History, New York,
the elephant-eared sunfish harpooned in
the Gulf Stream Yesterday by Ambrose
MOnnell, jr., Of New York, is one Of the
rarest specimens ever taken. The insti-
tute has asked for the brain for research
work. \ plaster cast was also made to-
day by F. B. Magin, Of Cincinnati, an
authority on fish.
He said tonight: Il believe this speci-
men is the only one ever caught in
american waters. Two or three Ameri-
can museums have them, but they are
very rare, and I have never heard of
one so large. 1t is seven feet long by
eight feet eight inches high, and will
weigh close to $500 pounds. The fish is
native to African waters and presum-
ably was driven out of its course by ex-
plosiOn Of mines. We never had the sail
fish, native to the Japanese coast, until
the Russian-Japanese war, when they
came to stay"
John D. Crimmins, also an authority,
says MonnelIs fish is from 200 to 800
years old, judging from its size The
young fry is the size Of ones thumbnail.

His Sneezing Fish No Longer Sneeze
For Warner Water Routs Out Disease

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald
New York, March Eff a fish catches
cold what would you give him to restore
him to health? AS one can readily be-
lieve, the members of the finny uloe
can't be treated with pills TO stop the
sniffles and sneezes. In fact, naturalists
seem still to be in the dark in their
search for such cure. However, Robert
w. Chanler has hit the well-known nail
on its --latest surface by deciding that
the fish should not be allowed to catch
cold in the first place.
In his conservatory at his home, at ia
East Nineteenth street, Mr.. Chanler has
remarkable assortment Of birds and
fish. Feathered songsters OF brilliant
hues have the freedom of the room, which
is not so greatly different from their ma
tive jungles, in which to sing the tact
that they are glad to be alive. But the
pride Of Mr.. Chambers collection are the
japanese fish, the MINIS, fantails and
Telescopes" with their gorgeous color
ings.
In the past, when the chill Of the ice
has manifested itself in the Croton water
the fish have caught cold. In fish fash
ion they have sneezed and shivered. 1t
was no unusual thing for a number or
them to succumb to fish pneumonia and
piscatorial grip. Furthermore, Mr.. Chan
Ter and his Japanese servants were forced
to watch the sufferings Of their scaly
pets without being able to help them
The memory of the discomforts of the
fish were in the minds of Mr.. Chanler and
the servants last fall and after a council

OF war it was decided TO remove the evil
by taking away the cause. The problem
OF warming the water and still keeping II
fresh was put up to the experts Of the
New York Edison Company. While these
men admitted that they could hardly be
classed as fish doctors they could find a
way of heating the water to the proper
temperature to conform to the Japanese
temperaments of the fish.
An electrical water heater was attached
to the pipe Immediately beneath the tank
and now the fish can swim the most ap-
proved japanese figures without riskine
their health by getting in a draught To
prevent jealousy Mr.. Chanler installed
heaters for the benefit of the birds and
also carefully arranged lighting system
which is intended to make the birds think
that the sun rises shortly after it sets-ip
fact, about ten minutes after,
This goes very well with the birds, but
the fish don't care for the artificial light.
They contend that they have little enough
privacy now and cant see why the advan-
tages Of darkness should be taken away
for the benefit Of a few birds who can't
swim anyway. However. everybody can't
be satisfied, and the fish admit that If the
light has to come with the warmth it is
welcome.

TRUE RHEUMATISM Part II.

Mineral waters have always been high
ly extoued for rheumatism, but ,copious
draughts Of mineral water are not to be
recommended in a true condition Of this
nature.
Excessive water drinking is illogical
in any event, and never does any good.
The external use of water, however, is
distinctly beneficial; 1t stimulates the
surface circulation by toning up the
vaso-motor system, which Is always de-
cidedly below par in these cases. 1t is
probably in this way that the various
baths do good. The same effect can be
produced at home by taking a moderate
ly hot bath followed by a cold shower
and a brisk rundown. Electricity has
done harm in many instances of social
ed rheumatism; stimulation Of a worn
out nerve seems a questionable proceed
ure akin to whipping up a faded horse
to make him maintain a brisk trot. Mas
sage Is of doubtful utility. 1t is not es-
sential to a cure, and, unless given by
an expert under the guidance Of a ply
stefan, is worse than valueless.
Local measures in general are con-
demned by a recent writer on this sub
ject; his idea being that in thus directing
a patients attention to the painful areas
he becomes acutely conscious of his trou-
BILE. While this is true, there is a large
class VINO Leel OGlleT III Lllnu anu lndL
something really is being done when To-
cal treatment Is used. In this connection
amazing results are gained by the appli-
cation Of very hot water kept up until
the parts are intensely red and the pores
wide open when a blending of oils
(aromatic), is very gently rubbed in, not
merely applied. The effect is most graft
flying.
The one drug Of benefit in these cases,
and it is of startling value, is Strych-
nine. in heroic doses. Strychnine is the
alkaloid of nux vomica, and some au-
thorites believe the fluid extract, or the
tincture of nux vomica, more productive
Of immediate improvement. Large doses
are recommended.
The study Of these conditions brings to
light the fact that they are most promi-
nent in men, and in men who are invet-
crate workers., who would rather work
than play, and who, when told that they
must play, have forgotten how.

CAPITAL BEST FRIEND
TO LABOR, HE THINKS
Rev. Mr.. Martin Believes Worlds Cry
Against Monied Men Is lgno-
rant Hysteria.

THE cry Of the world of the past few
years against capital has been an igno-
rant fanatical hysteria, without rhyme,
sense, or reason" declared Rev. ID. H
Martin, pastor of the Dumbarton Avenue
Methodist Episcopal Church. in his ser
mon yesterday. when the laboring
man speaks against the rich man he be-
rates his best friend, and when the poor
man rails at the money center he is
simply biting, madly and insanely, at
the hand that feeds him bread"
Rev Mr.. Martins sermon was on the
recent street car strike in the Capital
He said:
The papers OF our city have given us
tull and accurate accounts of the strike.
They have been fair to all parties con-
cerned. They have handled the situation
without prejudice or Partially, and the
public together with employer and en-
ploye, owe them a debt Of gratitude for
the part they have taken in the final set
tlement of the whole matter. Too much
praise cannot be given to the Commits
sioners and the men associated with
them for their intelligent and painstaking
work.
This strike is simply another incident
that shows us that the laboring man Is
an indispensable element of our national
life. The fact that the laboring man
grumbles is proof that he grows. He is
learning the necessity OF looking out for
himself. He has a right to organize. He
has no capital, so he must depend on
organization to get his rights. He also
has the right to strike, but he has no
right to strike unless he has exhausted
every other means to get fair play. We
are glad the employe is to get better
hours and more pay. In return the pub
lie shall expect courteous service from
him.
The public and the laboring man
must not forget to respect and appre-
ciate the capitalist. The monied men
at the head of these car companies are
public benefactors. They give work
and comfort and happiness to others
The rich men in the world who 90
not have the interests of their fellow
men at heart are the exception and
not the rule. We cannot get along
without our rich men. Money centers
are necessary

by the continued use of my hand for
twenty-four hours in signing a great
number of government notes. At that

made it necessary for me to append my

GALLOWAY ASKS
pointed QUERY
Writes Chief of Army En-
gineers Relative to Chang
ing Deakyne's Station.
PRAISES HIS SERVICES
Col. Taylor Does Not Give Satisfac-
tory Reply as to Why Missouri
Critic Is Switched.

Representative Galloway, Of Texas,
author of the resolution instructing
the chief of engineers of the army to
inform Congress as to the true facts
in connection with the Missouri River
Improvement project, will insert in the
Congressional Record today correspon-
dence showing that the chief Of engi-
neers is unwilling or unable to offer
any justification for the withholding
Of the Deakyne report exposing the
pork barrel" nature Of the project.
Representative Galloway received
from the acting chief Of engineers, Col.
H Taylor, a letter which purported to
reply to the resolution. In fact, how
ever, it is said to have merely denied
that Col Deakyne had been removed
from the Kansas City district and sent
TO Leavenworth because of his report,
explaining that he had been sent to
Leayenworth to prepare for a course
at the Army War College in Washing
ton, which course is considered a high
honor.
why Was Report Suppressed
Representative Galloway pertinently
inquiries why, if Col. Deakyne was
qualified for this high honor, his re-
port was Overruled without serious at
tempt to show cause, or, conversely. II
there was justification for such 8rbi-
trary action on Deakyne's report, what
Justification exists for his selection for
such a high honor.
Some members of the House believe
that political pressure was eXerted to
have Col. Deakyne removed from the
Kansas City district and his criticism OF
the financial plan back of the Missouri
River project pigeonholed so that this
project might continue.
Representative Galloway asked Col
Taylor why the Deakyne report was sup
pressed and also why he was overruled
by Col Black if his statement that the
project incurred an indefensible waste Of
money, Endorsed as 1t was by his su-
perior Col Townsend. The letter writ
ten by the Texas Representative to Col.
Taylor continues
IF Deakyne's judgment is good, and
he is to be proposed for honorary dis
tinCtiOn. is there any better place for
him in which to serve his country than
on the Missouri River, where he desires
to save S1IOOOOOO, or enough to float a
respectable mosquito fleet for prepared
ness purposes? If Col Deakyne's state
ment is not true and he is wrong in his
Judgment, then why was he suddenly
removed to meet local demands. accord
ing to press reports, or in order to receive
special hOnors in an entirely different
line of work?
The brevity Of your report, absence
" definite reasons for Withholding that
Export from use of Congress, the sudden
removal of Col. Deakyne, and the fact
that the best thing he ever did to entitle
him to honorable mention was his effort
to save $4,000 600 more OF waste on the
Missouri River, all led me to offer these
additional inquiries in order that the
resolution may be fairly answered, and
that no misunderstanding may exist in
regard to the exact facts concerning the
Missouri River project"
