Fel0 Man-Eating Sharks

There are numerous species of
sharks, only few of which can be
truly regarded as "man-eaters." Ma.
tives of the West Indies, the South
Sea islands and other lands frequented
by sharks are known to attack and
kill sharks with their knives, but it
is doubtful If these were the dreaded
white sharks or blue sharks, both man
eating species.

EXCLUSION LAW
HITS STEAMSHIPS
immigration Acts Already Has
Had Adverse Affect Upon
Trans-Pacific Steamers

TOXIC, Sept. 15.-Effects Of
the Japanese exclusion clause of
the new American immigration act
are already felt adversely by jap
anese steamship companies operat
ing trans-Pacific services, which
are now carrying only a small frac-
ttion of their former storage pas
senger lists. Storage accommoda-
tons of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha,
Togo Kisen Kaisha and Osaka Sho-
sen Kaisha trans-Pacific liners form
erly were almost altogether taken
up by Japanese immigrants or
Japanese residents of America. The
new law has practically ended travel
Of this class. The N. Y. KS Kaga
Maru, on a recent voyage from Seat
tie, carried only one steerage pas
senger.
In 1928 the three japanese COM
panies carried 14,733 steerage pas
sengers across the Pacific, this
service yielding an important item
Of income. The loss OF the larger
part of this income is causing the
companies to urge the government
to pay them larger subsidies, declar-
ing that without more aid they can
not continue their trans-Pacific ser
vices.

in the fiivver, gloomily surveying
his work.
"Now l will be durned," he said
thoughtfully Come to think of it,

You'd better be nice to him"
warned Sally, in a whisper. "He's

She raced away in the direction of
