THE GOVERNMENT
ABANDONS PLA AN
TO EXTERMINATE
VICIOUS SHARKS

Washington. July 17.-Suggestions
that campaign Of determination
against sharks along the Atlantic be
undertaken by the coast guard service
were abandoned today by treasury de-
partment officials after considering a
report by Captain Garden Of the cut
ter Mohawk, saying such a campaign
would be impra cticable and that the
only sure method of protecting bath
ers was the extension Of the steel wire
nets already in use at most resorts.
Captain Garden, detailed to investi-
gate the shark situation, passed Sun
day at Asbury Park, comforting with
city officials and resort managers He
reported that all agree that it would
be futile to attempt determination Of
the vicious fish either by catching or
by dynamiting, which could not be
used without killing all the food fish
in the vicinity.

mammoth meeting was held, the tour
seemed to be triumphal one for the
chairman Of the committee and the Re-
publican candidates with him. The
sentiment at the meeting in Rumford
was so strong that Wallace H. White.
Jr.. candidate for Congress In the Sec
ond district, predicted that Oxford
county would give Republican major
ity Of 1900 At the fish hatchery In Au-
burn, an enthusiastic meeting of can
didates and committeeman was held
and then the trip into the southeast
ern part Of the State was begun.
The tour by automobile was a most
remarkable one. In the neighborhood of
100 miles were covered and practically
every house along the route was Wis
tied. 1t was discovered that not only
were the Progressives solidly with the
Republicans and that the two wings Of
the party were working together, but it
was also found that many Of the DEM
ocratic workers had decided they had
had enough of the present national and
State administration and had decided
to unite with the Republican party.
AS a result of this sentiment in
Washington county. the prediction
was made that the Republican major
1ty would be the largest in the his
tory of the county.
At the meeting in Ellsworth, re-
ports were received that showed how
the Republican sentiment was solidi-
flying and the prediction was here
made that another big majority would
be returned in this county. The SEN
timent was solid for there was not a
break in the support for any member
Of the ticket from Mr.. Hale, candi-
date for senator down to town repre-
Sentatives.
Tuesday Chairman Ham, Mr.. Hale
and Mr.. Milliken visit York county,
where it is probable meetings with
the committeeman will be held. Much
personal work will be done by the
candidates and the greater part Of the
county will be visited.

Chairman Frank J. Ham Of the Re
publican State committee. Frederick Hale
Of Portland. candidate for the U. S. Sen
attorship, Hon. Car. E. Milliken. cand
date for Governor, and Hon. John A. Pc
tiers, candidate for Congress in the third
district have just completed tour of
portions OF Washington and Hancock
counties. The situation they discovered,
according to Chairman Ham, was most
gratifying to Republican hopes. Not only
was it found that the Progressive wing OF
the party has allied itself with the Repub-
licans. but that many Democrats have
announced their intention of working for
and voting for the Republican ticket in
September.
On the trip through these two counties
two pre-campaign meetings were held.
one at Sylvan park in Machias and the
other in the G. A. r. hall at Ellsworth.
The Machias gathering was attended by
over 800 voters, while at the Ellsworth
meeting there 100 committeeman and can
didates present. The enthusiasm at both
gatherings was unusual because of its
spontaneity.
Washington in Line
While no thorough canvass Of Hancock
county has yet been made by Chairman
Ham. the trip through the eastern and
northern parts of Washington county was
a most thorough one. All Of the small
towns were visited, stops were made at
residences and at all the places the SEN
timent was the samoa firm conviction to
vote the Republican ticket in the fall and
a determination to bring out the full Re-
publican vote.
The best informed men in Washing
ton county predicted that the majority
there would be the greatest in the his
tory Of the section. The same senti-
ment was also evidenced in Hancock
county.
