COAST GUARD TO
CLEAR COAST OF
HUNGRY SHARKS

Washington, July 4.-Tragic stories
of attacks by sharks upon bathers
along the New Jersey coast We're dis
cussed at todays meeting of the cab
met. Later Secretary McAdoo announc-
ed that the coast guard would be or
dered to do what it could toward clear
ing the coast of the dangerous fish and
prev enting further loss of life.
Instructions were sent by the treas
ury department both to the coast guard
cutters and life saving stations. No
definite plan of action has been worked
out, but the idea is to have the service
aid in locating and killing sharks and
when possible warn resorts Of their
proximity.
Secretary Redfeld told the cabinet
that the bureau of fisheries had been
unable to offer any scientific explana-
ton Of the unprecedented attacks of
sharks on human beings.
A resolution was introduced in the
House today by Representative Bacha-
rach of New Jersey, authorizing the de-
partment of commerce to cooperate
with state authorities in an effort to
exterminate the sharks, and appropri-
ating $4,000 for the purpose.

U.S.. Will
Try determination
of Sharks off Coast

Washington, July 1.-the federal
government today canvassed it's re-
sources for combating the invasion Of
the North Atlantic coast waters by
sharks. President Wilson and his cab
met discussed what could be done to
prevent more tragedies like those which
have occurred recently along the New
Jersey shore, and the coast guard and
the life saving service were ordered to
assist in shark determination in every
way possible. The bureau Of fisheries
issued a formal statement advising
widespread fishing for sharks and
warning bathers to keep in shallow
water, but admitting inability to adj
vance a certainly effective movement.
The first effort of the coast guard ser
vice will be to investigate whether an
individual or several schools of the
monsters are in northern waters. The
cutter will fish for the sharks if their
number is not greatly reduced.
Scientists here are mysterfied at the
presence Of the big man-hunting fish
in such northern ATTITUDES. They be-
lieve the recent tragedies have been
caused by a few predatory sharks and
doubt their presence in considerab BILE
numbers in the summer resort district.

Maine LIST FOR
NAVAL TRAINING
CRUISE BIG ONE

Portland. Me-, July H.-Tomorrow is the
last day for enrollments in the naval
training cruise for civilians, according to
an announcement made today by the
State of Maine committee of which Mayor
Milford G. Chapman is chairman. A
large number Of enrollments are being
made today and many more will be made
tomorrow, so that the total list to go from
Maine will be a large one. The enlist
ments are being made through the mccall
naval recruiting station located on Ex-
change street, of which Lieutenant Hugh
Allen. U. S. N, is in charge.
The cruise begins on August Is and con-
tinues until September 10 and will be one
of the most notable affairs of it's kind ever
held. The enrolment from all over the
has been large and the affair will
be a big success from the standpoint Of
and undoubtedly in every other
way.
The Maine men are going on the battle
ship Virginia, one Of the finest of the
United States feet, and the same ship on
which the Maine Naval Reserve leaves on

the fish division Of the Smithsonian In
stitution, said tonight he thought 1t
possible the attacks upon bathers may
have been by sand sharks, which are
extremely aggressive, attain large size
and inhabit northern waters.
At almost low tide today the body OF
young Stiliwell, reported drowned. was
found in Matawan creek about 200 feet
west of the spot where it disappeared aft
er being attacked by shark. 1t had been
bitten nearly in two above the waist line.
Joseph Dunn, the 10-year-old boy whose
leg. was terribly torn by the invader of
Matawan creek, is in a hospital In New
Brunswick, n. j. Little hope Is entertain
ed for his recovery.
Experts differ widely as to the cause Of
the presence of these dangerous sharks
in the cool waters Of this coast or why
they come so near the beaches. John T..
Nichols, assistant curator Of fishes Of the
American Museum Of Natural History,
who went to Matawan to investigate the
tragedy there, said he believed the kill
ing was done by white shark or tiger
shark, both of which are warm water
products and rarely seen north Of Cape
Hatteras. Some of these are said to at
tain a length Of 30 feet. Fishermen, how
ever, believe that the man-eaters are Of
the ordinary type of sharks which have
become ravenous by scarcity Of food.
