Customs officials here received a message today from Palmetto Beach, near Fort Morgan, saying that the body of a man, badly eaten by sharks, had been found there. It is believed he was from one of the vessels wrecked during the recent Gulf storm. Washington, July 14.

The Federal Government canvassed its resources today for combating the invasion of North Atlantic coast waters by sharks. President Wilson and his Cabinet discussed what could be done to prevent more tragedies like those which have occurred recently along the New Jcrsey shore, and the coast guard and life-saving services were ordered to assist in shark extermination in every way possible. The Bureau of Fisheries issued a formal statement during the day advising widespread fishing for sharks and warning bathers to keep shallow water, but admitting inabilitv to ad vance a certainly effective means of preventing further attacks. The statement asserted, however, that there was no reason for panic among seaside bathers. The first effort of the Coast Guard Service will be to ascertain whether a few individuals or several schools of the sea monsters are in northern waters.

A cutter will fish for the sharks if their number is not great, with the aid of the Life Saving Should a large number be discovered, more extensive operations may be undertaken. Beach Patrol Sought. A beach patrol was suggested to the Bureau of Fisheries today by Representative Scully, of New Jersey, and Representative Bacharach, of that State, introduced a resolution to appropriate $3,000 to aid the bureau and State authorities in the campaign against sharks. Immediate risks have been averted by placing steel nets about the beaches. Scientists here are mystified at the presence of the big man-hunting fish in such northern latitudes.

They believe the recent tragedies have been caused by a few predatory sharks, and doubt their presence in considerable numbers in the summer resort districts. Scientific circles were much interested tonight in a report that the American Museum of Natural History of New York might send expert scientists, including Director Lucas, who is the leading American authority on sharks, to investigate along the New Jersey shore. Dr. Barton A. Dean, head curator of the fish division of the Smithsonian Institution, said tonight that he thought it possible the attacks upon bathers may have been by sand sharks, which are extremely aggressive, attain large size and inhabit northern waters.

There has been no authentic record, he declared, of sharks of the "tiger" or white man-eating species of tropical waters ever having been found north of Cape Hatteras. Victim's Body Found. New York, July 14. At almost low tide, today the body of Lester Stillwell was found in Matawan creek, about 200 feet from the spot where he disappeared nftoi- Kf.in attneked bv a shark. The body had been bitten nearly in two above the waist line.

Joseph Dunn, the 10-year-old boy whose le was terribly torn by the invader of Matawan creek, is in a hospital in New Brunswick, N. J. Little hope is entertained of his recovery. 2oO-Ponnder Killed. Atlantic Highlands, N.

July 14. A shark, eight and a half feet long, was captured and killed here today. The big fish became entangled in a fishing net and was only killed after a struggle. The shark was of blue nose variety, with a white belly. Sea Tigers To Xew York; ZVext.

Matawan, N. July 14. Prof. John T. Nicholas, of the American Museum of Natural History, who was here to investigate the attacks by sharks -upon bathers in Matawan creek, declared to-dav the waters in and around New Y'prk probably wil visited soon by the man-eaters.

"New Jersey almost has abandoned its swimming, and it is time for New Yorkers to take warning," Professor Nicholas said. "It is the white shark which has been at work and this is the second time in history this type has been seen north of Cape Hatteras. The garbage in New Y'ork Bay and chances of catching unsuspecting swimmers undoubtedly will bring the sea tigers into New Y'ork waters Atlantic Filled AVitli Shark. Philadelphia, July 14. Masters of vessels reaching this port today report having sighted large sharks off the Delaware Breakwater.

Sharks were sighted almost the entire voyage of the American tanker Piaturia from Copenhagen. Captain Carpenter said he had never in all his experience seen so many sharks as upon the voyage just ended. On Monday 300 miles east of Nantucket, he said, a school of oO or 40 of all sizes wera sighted. HOUSE READY TO ADJOURN Senate, However, Will Xot Be Able To Complete Business Before September 1. Washington.

July 14. Democrats of the Senate will caucus tomorrow night to consider further the legislative program for the remainder of the session. Some Democratic Senators are making urgent appeals for consideration of special measures not included in the imperative program drawn up by party leaders, and Democratic and Republican conferees have been unable to agree finally on what measures should be disposed of before adjournment. r-nnfprence with the Demo- kL crat3 early this week Republican Sena tors agreed to a program mciuamg me Appropriation. Revenue, Shipping and.

Corrupt Practices bills. There was no agreement, however, on the child labor, workmen's compensation and immigration measures, and their champions now are insisting that they should not be de- ferrea until nexi t-siwu. crats are pressing for action on the o-1 cational Education bill, the suffrage! amendment anu numerous vmr mci- UrDemocratic leaders realize that final passage of the Naval and Army Appropriation bills and the revenue and shipping measures alone will require four or five weeks at least, and that it many other measures are to be taken up, the iAoi nf an adioumment by September 1 must be abandoned. The House is expectea to complete the entire legislative program suggested by President Wilson by passage tomorrow of the Rucker Corrupt Practices bill. When Majority Leader Kitchin took a report on the situation to the White House today, the President said .1 -T He naa notnmg iuriuer ssugcau the House will mark time, holding perfunctory daily sessions to receive conference reports.

Munition Train Released. El Faso, Texas, July 14. The Mex ico Northwestern train, filled with supplies consigned to' Casas Grandes merchants for the use of General Pershing's force, which was held up in Juarez last night by order of General Gonzales, was released today on instructions from Gen Jacinto Trevino at Chihuahua City. Evans Hughes to accept the Republican i nomination for the Presidency. Prompt confirmation of the appointment by the Senate is expected.

A call for a meeting of the Judiciary Committee for Monday to consider it was issued tonight. Two years ago the Senate confirmed the nomination of Mr. Clarke as district judge after an investigation had disposed of suggestions that his service as counsel for a railroad might have impaired his usefulness as a jurist. The President finally made his selection after discussing the question today with the Cabinet. Up to the last moment the name of Judge Victor J.

Dow-ling, of the New York Supreme Court, was seriously considered. Judge Clarke is a Democrat and for years was identified with progressive movements in Ohio, being associated with the late Tom Johnson, Newton D. Baker, now Secretary of War, and other leaders of the party in his State. A sketch of his life given out at the White House today says "he has been conspicuous in progressive movements in Ohio and in the nation at large" and is "probably the most gifted orator in Ohio." Particular attention is directed in the White House sketch to the fact that despite his service as general counsel for a railroad before going on the bench. Judge Clarke in his campaign for the Senate advocated a two-cent railroad passenger rate law.

The appointment of Judge Clarke following the resignation of Mr. Hughes leaves New York State without representation on the Supreme Court. Justice Pitney, however, comes from New Jersey, which is of the same district. The political complexion of the court is not changed, a majority remaining Republican. The President confidently expects that Judge Clarke will be confirmed during Urinj, the present session of Congress in that he mav bein the study of cases pending before the Supreme Court before the convening of the court in the fall.

Profoundly Grateful To Wilson. Nantucket, July 14. Judge Clarke received word of his appointment to the Supreme Court bench at his summer home here today. While at first declining to make any statement he subsequently dictated and signed the following: "I am profoundly grateful to President Wilson for the evidence of confidence shown by his appointing me to such an important position, but I regard the proprieties as forbidding any further public statement at this time." Xew Justice Bachelor. The new justice was born at Lisbon.

Ohio, September 18, 1857: graduated at Western Reserve University in 1877 and was admitted to the Ohio bar in 187S.

0. P. TO CO-OPERATE Gallinger Pledges Republicans In Senate That They Will Not Obstruct Program. Washington, July 14. Democratic House Leader Kitchin reported to President Wilson today that with the pas-sagof the Corrupt Practices bill the House will have completed the entire legislative program suggested to Congress by the President.

He if any additional legislation wras desired and Mr. Wilson replied that lie was satisfied with the work done by the House and had no further recommendations. Mr. Kitchin said a suggestion that the House take three-day adjournments until the Senate had caught up with its work had not met with general approval because it was necessary to stay in session in order that conference reports be received. Therefore, he said, the House would mark time by adjourning from day to day.

He estimated that Congress should be able to adjourn by August 10. The legislative program suggested to Congress which has been completed by the House included the Philippine and Porto Rican bills, preparedness legislation, the revenue. Mississippi flood con trol, shipping, rural credits and conservation bills. While Representative Ivitchm was at the White House Senator Gallinger, the Senate minority leader, was announcing on the floor that Republicans of that body never contemplated a filibuster against Government shipping, revenue or any other legislation pending and that they would co-operate with the Democrats to complete the program and adjourn. "The legislative program is not in our hands," said Senator Gallinger, "but whatever the majority conclude to lay before us they will find the minority ready with good-natured co-operation.

The minority are in favor of the child labor, workmen's compensation and immigration bills and hope they may be passed." "Will you support the vocational education bill?" asked Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia. "Yes, that is another good bill," said Senator Gallinger. "Will you support the constitutional amendment for woman suffrage?" asked Senator Thomas. "The Senator from New Hampshire will," replied Senator Gallinger; "but I cannot speak with authority for my associates regarding that measure." TO PURIFY "BAD" OYSTERS Public Health Service Chemist Tells How To Counteract Their Pollution. Washington, July 14.

Dr. WTilliam Firth Wells, sanitary chemist of the United States Public Health Service, in a report to Surgeon-General Blue, declares he has '-discovered an artificial method for purifying oysters taken from polluted streams or waters. He says his experiments show that contaminated oysters, placed in water to which cal-finm hvnochlorite has been added can be artificially purified to "such a degree as to pass a most rigid standard" of inspec- tion. He also says tne memoa is ieas The experiments were made off Fisherman's Island, ia the Chesapeake Bay. Ovsters, he points out, will cleanse themselves in a week or more if placed in pure water.

The calcium hypochlorite treatment, says Dr. Wells, will cleanse r- -i 4 1 the oyster oi an impurities uuuxa The discovery is regarded as impor tant, as it will pave the way for the absolute purification of the oyster, the choicest of the sea food, before it is placed on the market. Heat Blamed For Sniclde. York, July 14. The excessive heat of the past week, it is said, caused Abraham Diffenderfer, 70 years old, of Marsh Run, to hang himself.

The official statement follows: "Western Russian Front Southeast of Lake Narocz, near the Stakhovtzy farm, we attacked and nut to flight German advance guards.

On the left bank of the Stokhod, near the village of Zaretchie, south of Stobychwa, the enemy, under cover of artillery fire, took the offensive, bat was driven back to his trendies.

"North of Lake Drisviaty we ducted suces'sful reconnoissances. "Enemy aviators threw nearly 70 bombs on the town of Polometchki, northeast of Baranovichi.

"The enemy attacked our forces on the left bank of the Stokhod. In the region of the lower Liper the enemy opened a violent artillery tire. "West of the Stripa the Austro-Ger-innn forces launched furious counter-attacks. We captured in this region 3,200 prisoners, 2 guns, 19 machine guns and 1 bomb thrower.

London, July 14. The British Foreign Office addressed a note to neutral governments today explaining the reasons which prompted the abandonment of the Declaration of London. The declaration was abrogated by an order in council published on July 8 and a similar decree was issued in Paris on the same day. The present British note explains that the Entente Allies adopted the Declaration of London at the beginning of the war because, in their anxiety to conform to international law, they believed the -declaration provided a suitable digest of principles and a compendium of working rules. "These rules," says the note, "did not necessarily possess the force of law, but seemed in the main lines to present a statement of rights and duties of belligerents based on experience in previous naval wars.

But, as the struggle proceeded, it developed beyond all previous conceptions, owing to the manifold scientific improvements in warfare, and produced conditions altogether dif- lerent to previous naval wars. It then became clear that the attempt made in Times ot penee, by the Declaration of London, to determine the principles of ana tneir application, tailed to pro-duce a satisfactory result. "The allied governments, forced to recognize the situation thus created, therefore decided they must confine themselves simply to applying the historic and admitted rules of the laws of nations."

Both measures already have passed the House. Mr. Wilson left late this afternoon on the Mayflower for a week-end cruise down the Potomac and in Chesapeake Bay.

He was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and a party of their relatives. He expects to return early Monday morning. STATE'S CONGRESSMEN FOR MILITARY COURSE Continued from Page l.J to more systematic and universal methods. Patriotism Vital.

"There can be no effective training for military duty unless the spirit of true patriotism is inculcated. This must be the mainspring of such duty. Without it the defense of our country would bo perfunctory and mechanical. We want no such kind of defense. If the training of youth is solely for commercially selfish ends there can be no real national spirit.

Every boy who Is trained for prospective service for his country should first understand the genius of our free institutions and feel in his heart that he has something dear and priceless to defend. I have said nothing about offensive fighting, because the possibility is remote that primarily we will be called upon to conduct offensive warfare. We will never fight, I hope, for aggrandizement or otherwise selfishly. But we ought to fight, when necessity, to defend and to perpetuate freedom and self-government here and wherever our influence and sovereignty extends. I cannot imagine one of our boys fighting with any degree of zeal or spirit for any sordid reason or for any reason not having in it essentially the spirit of Americanism.

On Right Road Xow, "I believe generally in universal training, and I think we are making good progress along that line; but I am not prepared to say that there should be compulsory service in this country. Let whatever of compulsion that may be necessary emanate in the home and in our institutions of learning where tho incentive should originate and be instilled into the youth of the as a patriotic native. This done, there will be a response that will answer our necessities in time of need." SEED OYSTERS' GROWTH GREAT From One To Two Inches In Two Years In Calvert County Bed. Cambridge, July 14.

Major Ullrich had a detail from the Field Hospital at work oiling streams and pools of standing water in his camp, to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. The whole camp has been drained under the direction of experts, for there are two health wardens in the unit, Major Ullrich. Nineteenth ward, and Capt Fred H.

Vinup, Eighteenth ward. The commander arranged a schedule of instructions for his men covering four months. It includes field hospital work, general field work, duty of the soldier, bearer and litter duty, drills, diet cooking, care of animals, clerical work, pharmacy, materia medica and minor surgery. Five hours are to be given to this instruction daily, except Saturday and Sunday. Major Ullrich has a crack organization.

There are but seven field hospitals in the regular army and one of them is in the Philippines. The ambulance company is not as comfortable as some other units sent here from Maryland, because the men are without cots. They are sleeping on bedding sacks filled with straw. Captain Stansbury has sent in a requisition for cots and hopes they will be issued very soon, for all agree that sleeping on bedding rolls is not very pleasant in this part of the country, with its rattlesnakes, tarantulas, lizards, scorpions and centipedes. 3Iore Promotions Announced.

Scheiger; mess sergeant, Robert B. Landers; corporal, George A. Kelch. The supply company of the First has been fully organized. Capt.

Charles E. Myers, in charge of the supply department, made a requisition today for nearly $10,000 worth of goods from Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio. A requisition for a number of big stoves was made. The stoves in use now were obtained with the purpose of providing for 65 men for a company. As several of the companies are above the 100 mark and as all of them are well above the maximum peace strength, some difficulty is being experienced in the matter of cooking.

Captain Myers, by the way, has been complimented by the regulars on the spick-and-span appearance of his depot. He has fitted his tents up like progressive stores. Captain Palmer and Lieutenants Stark and Feaga. of Company are happy tonight. They received their first mail from home.

The boys are complaining of the scarcity of letters received. Company alone today sent out more than 300 letters and postals. There should be a little reciprocity. Three Baltimore members of the Third Infantry have been doing outpost duty William E. Murray, George T.

Williams and Harry K. Eliason. Williams left today to join the Thirty-seventh Infantry, the new regiment being formed at San Antonio. Murray came from the northern border of the State of New York to the southwestern border of this country. He formerly served in the Philippines and is an expert rifleman.

Eliason came from Panama. The three are in love with army life. All were with the same company. The Sun followed Murray to the Philippines, the Canadian boundary and to Eagle Pass, and is read by Murray's chums in the regiment. Lieutenant-Colonel Bowie, of the Fifth, has been out two nights with the cavalry patrol and enjoyed the experience.

In keeping with the wishes of the military authorities, to have the National Guardsmen learn their duties rapidly through association with the members of the regular army, a detachment of nine men under command of Sergeant Kennedy was taken from Troop A this afternoon and sent to Blocker's ranch, 60 miles from Eagle Pass, to go on duty there with the Fourteenth United States Cavalry. Those in the detachment are Privates Atwell, Gambrill, Edmonds, Waters, Grafnin, Burgan, Slingluff, Bobbins and W. C. Osborne. These men will be given the same drills and other exercises that are taught the regular cavalrymen.

It is expected that other detachments from Troop A will be sent to work with the regulars soon. V. DeP. F. BRITISH STEAMER AT TOLEDO Will Load Coal For Canadian Soo And Meat In Chicago For Allies.

General Carranza in an interview today said that the status of the negotiations with Washington was very satisfactory, as the result of the good will shown to each other by Mexico and the United States.

"Thanks to this feeling of good will," the First Chief "we will be able to avoid war. War is something I do not desire, but if there were no other remedy for the situation, I would enter upon it." General Carranza. however, refused to discuss the situation as it relates to the possible action of President Wilson or of the Latin-American nations which offered to mediate in the-trouble between the United States and Mexico. Within a short time, the First Chief said, there would be incorporated in the Constftu-tion of Mexico all the reforms which now find a place in the program of the Constitutionalists. In a large measure, he declared, some of these reforms already are in operation and there remains only their incorporation into the fundamental laws of the country.

Election After Peaee Conies. As to the holding of a presidential election, General Carranza said that it would take place as soon as the work of reconstructing the Constitution had been completed and when the country was completely at peace. The de facto Government, the First Chief asserted, will pass a law of amnesty so that all Mexicans w-ho have left the country for one reason or another can return if they desire. Such a law, however, he said, would not be promulgated as long as the Government was not on a firm basis, for the reason that among some of the Mexicans now living abroad there are those who would return to Mexico to conduct agitations and disturb labor conditions. "As for myself, personally.

I do not care," General Carranza declared, "but I do care on account of the Government and the country. The work of bringing about the political reconstruction of Mexico is most difficult and must be carried forward under peaceful conditions. Let thoe Mexicans who are disturbers stay where they are until such time as the country has a constitution and a government. Then they can return and work." President Reviews Peace Terms. Washington, July 14.

President Wilson and his Cabinet went over today the preliminary proposals for settlement by diplomatic negotiation of difficulties with Mexico, framed by Acting Secretary Polk, of the State Department, and Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican Ambassador designate. Mr. Polk declined to say whether decision had been reached when he left the Cabinet meeting. Both American and Mexican officials have maintained strictest silence as to matters discussed by Mr. Polk and Mr.

Arredondo at the two informal conferences they have held since General Carranza's suggestion for direct diplomatic negotiations were accepted. It is generally believed, however, that they have recommended the formation of a joint commission to consider questions involved in the border dispute and to prepare plans for co-operative action against bandits. Mr. Arredondo is said to have submitted the commission plan to his Government. Agents of the Department of Justice increased their vigilance today to prevent the passage of arms and ammunition across the Mexican border as a result of reports of suspected smuggling activities.

The Department requires all munition dealers to report their sales and the railroads report their consignments, so smugglers have little chance to operate. Moreover, the price of munitions is so high on account of the European demand that few sales are made, and stock in the hands of border dealers is low. Special Agent Rodgers, at Mexico City, was instructed by the State Department today to investigate a complaint made by Airs. Phoebe Hearst that her ranch in Mexico had been confiscated by the de facto Government. IT.

Milhoun, with several other troopers, was returning to camp with several horses they had rounded up.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, July 14.

Gen. TaskerH. Bliss, Assistant Chief of Staff, who is here to inspect the National Guard to study conditions under which the newly made soldiers are serving, expects to leave Monday for the Brownsville district, where the New York troops are stationed. He plans to inspect every concentration point of importance on the border. To Company C.

Second Texas Infantry, came the distinction today of being the first of the National Guard to exchange shots with Mexicans, when they prevented a raiding party from crossing the Rio Grande near Donna, Texas. Six armed Mexicans, attempting to enter American terirtory at 3 o'clock in the morning, were detected by outposts. They were ordered to halt, but continued advancing. The Texans then fired. The fire was returned, but discontinued after a minute, the Mexicans hurrying back to their own country.

None of the Americans was injured and it is believed none of the Mexicans was hit. Liieut. Frank A. Jones will do outpost duty tomorrow night along the Lerado roaa, on the outskirts ot Camp Ord. All To Have Taste Of Work.

No one knows when a real enemy, with real ammunition, will swoop down upon the camp. When he does coipe it will be like a thief in the night, and the men realize that the patrols and outguards must be on the job every minute, for they must" give the alarm and hold the enemy in check until the entire camp is aroused and ready for action. There are to be no "sham" night attacks in Eagle Pass, as sometimes add spice to State encampments.

A sudden call in the night will mean business, and all must be prepared to resist an armed force. In For Long Stay. The belief here Is that the guardsmen wiil not see their homes before the latter part of the winter. Information from an apparently reliable source is that they will eat their Thanksgiving dinners in Eagle Pass and their Christmas dinners in Mexico. course, is predicated on the theory that intervention will take place in the autumn, after the troops shall have been thoroughly equipped, drilled and seasoned to work in the tropics.

So far the rigors of the work here are not telling on the Marylanders, for a healthier or huskier looking set of men Arould be hard to find. The regimeni-yl. surgeons report few cases of sickness. The troops again have been slipping and sliding in soapy mud and sand, for another rainstorm hit the camps this morning while the companies were out in the drill fields. And once more the flood poured through Colonel Hinkley's camp, necessitating deeper ditches.

The water comes from the hills after the rain stops falling and makes some of the streets mighty uncomfortable. Marylanders Pnt In Bnsy Day. Because of the condition of the grounds the men of the Fifth were unable to do any drilling this afternoon. They attended schools in the company streets. Signaling and company instruction were the order in the First Regiment camp.

The Fourth drilled bv companies and dug more ditches and hammered at tent pins. Troop the Field Hospital and the Ambulance Company put in most of their time ditching and making their "homes comfortable." General Gaither rode through the country, observing his men and picking out points from which to be able to meet a sudden attack. He lost his silver star somewhere in the hills and mesquite trees. The insignia of his rank dropped from tne- collar or nis campaign shirt. The Brisrade Commander will cele brate next Monday the thirty-ninth anniversary of his enlistment in the Maryland National Guard.

He entered Com pany of the Fifth Infantry, as a private July 17, 1877, when the railroad riots were on in Baltimore. Shipped Grade Of Major. After serving in the grades of corporal and sergeant, he became second lieutenant of the company. Then he was elected captain of Company and soon became lieutenant-colonel, skipping the grade of major, and finally became colonel of the regiment. During the Spamsh-American War he commanded Company of the Fifth, and later was appointed a captain in the regular army, serving in Cuba.

Resigning and returning to Baltimore, General Gaither was appointed adjutant general of the First brigade by Gen. Lawrosan Riggs, and was elected brigade commander by the field officers some -time after General Macklin was appointed adjutant general of Maryland by Governor Goldsbor-ough. General Gaither looks upon the command of a Maryland brigade, the largest body of troops sent out from the State since the Civil War, as a fitting close to his long and faithful service. He is the proudesf and happiest man in Eagle Pass. Consul Silliman Calls.

John R. Silliman, who was with General Carranza for several months as the personal representative of President Wilson, called on General Gaither this afternoon and the Princeton men among the Maryland troops to a ceremony at tie custom house this afternoon, making him a full consul of the United States. Mr. Silliman thought George R. Gaither, a classmate at Princeon, was the commander of the Maryland troops, and was much interested when he discovered that General Gaither and George R.

Gaither were brothers. He spent some time at headquarters. Silliman and President Wilson were at Princeton at the same time. Among the Princeon men here with the Marylanders are Major S. Johnson.
