young shark-hunter is part of a 81

the Palm Beach SharkerS.
The many species of sharks caught
from the pier by this group have
ranged from five feet TO the largest
Ill feet, seven inches. Schepanski'S
landing of the l0-footer was similar

to other catches. The shark swal-
lowed the big steel tempered hook
and the battle began.
Almost two hours later, the ex-
hausted shark was brought along
side the pier and killed with 54.70
rifle. Then, Schepanski climbed
down the side of the pier and maneu-
vered a rope around the shark. All
hands heayed to, and the shark was
hoiSted onto the pier where all per-
tinent data was obtained-Such as
the weight, measurement, specie,
tide and water conditions when
caught, etc. Much of this informa-
ton is furnished to interested edu-
cational institutions.

Treasury Secretary Gets Tough

The people ofthe North were alarmed
and depressed by the way the Southern
States were seizing Federal property.
They got lift, consequently, when the
new Secretary of the Treasury, John
Adams Dix, announced he would stand
for no more such effrontery. This is how

The cutter is one of the largest and best in

onfederates Elect Davis and Stephen:
The Election as Reported in The Star 100 Years Ago
Compiled by JOHN W. STEPP
Star Staff Writer
Background

TINE q delegates to the Confederate
Il convention in Montgomery, Ala,
wasted NO time getting on with the organ
ization Of a new government. 1t took them
only four days to adopt constitution.
and, as The Star noted, it was identical
in most respects with the Federal Consti-
tuition.
Among the principal differences
were specific recognition of slavery,
abolition of the African slave trade and
emphasis on States rights. In preparing
the document, the delegates largely ig-
nored the democratic processes. They
acted on their own, confident that the
people back home would be satisfied.
Another important decision was
taken entirely from the voters hands:
election of President and Vice Presi-
dent for the new Confederacy.
The choice had to be q careful one
A number Of politicians were striving
hard for the top post, notably Robert
Barnwell Rhett of South Carolina, Will
liam Lowndes Yancey of Alabama, and
Robert Toombs of Georgia. But fire-eat-
ers Rhett and Yancey were regarded as
too extreme for the cautious and uncom-
mitted States in the border region, and
not even his own delegation could agree
on Toombs. The convention voted instead
for Mississippian and another Georgian
conservative enough not to ALLEVIATE
any of the other Southern States and
unlikely to do anything rash.

THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
Election Of q Provisional President

three Alabama deputies, to inquire and report
on what terms suitable buildings in Montgom-
cry can be secured for the use of the several
departments of the Confederacy
under the Provisional government.
An ordinance was passed continuing in
force, until repealed or altered by Congress,
