Senate Is Asked
To Check |. w. w.
Western States Seek Federal
Aid in Combating Organ
lied Lawlessness

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Nany petit
tons from Western states asking Con-
gress to take some action TO check l..
". ". activities were presented to-day
in the Senate.
Senator King, of Utah, said he had
received great many letters and petit
tions requesting legislation by Con-
gress to end lawlessness by the l. W.
W, and also TO have naturalized citi-
zens participating in the disorders
summoned before the Federal courts
TO have their naturalization papers re-
yoked and to be deported.
Senator PoindeXter, Of Washington,
declared the state governments ought
10 use all their powers to check the
lawlessness by the |. W. W., and SINH
lar organizations, but said it was the
duty of the Federal government to IN
tervene should the state governments
not be able TO cope with the situation.
Senator Poindexter referred to petit
tions he had received from the Clear
water Lumber Company and its en-
ployes in his state in which the en-
ployes said they did not want to strike,
but were threatened with violence by
the I. w. w. should they not do so.
Senator Hollis said that, while state
and municipal authorities were expect
ed to handle ordinary violations Of law
by the |. W. W., the Federal govern
ment should help.

rods beyond where he had been wading
the rakish. fin Of a buccaneering shark
cleft the waves.
Six policemen who are occupying
one Of the South Beach bungalows ran
out at sound of the boys shouts, each
hourishing his revolver. They lined up
and blazed away, while the accommo-
dating shark cruised TO and fro like a
duck in a shooting gallery. A crowd
gathered and the marksmen, explaining
without embarrassment that bullets had
no effect on sharks, put up their
weapons.
Two of them seized long pole, lev
elled it like a lance and charged knee
deep into the bay, challenging the
shark to jousting match. The vorpal
jaws of the intelligent and alert
creature went snicker-snack; the lance
shivered Ivanhoeishly, and the two
valiant shark jousters vanished igno-
miniously, heels over head, beneath the
waves.
They reached shore in haste, still
clinging 20 the remnant Of their
weapon, which had been snapped off
where it was an inch or two in diam
eter. The policemen spent the rest OF
the day pointing out teeth marks on
the lance to awestruck visitors and
planning a shark hunt for to-day. They
said the fish was ten feet long. Bath
ers were not daunted y the incident,
and there was no diminution in their
numbers.
Incoming vessels reported at Quaran-
tine that they had sighted several
schools of sharks off Sandy Hook and
in the Ambrose Channel.
