COAST GUAED JOINS HUNT
New York, July 14. At ilmost low
tide today the body of Lester Still
well was found in Matawan creek
(boat 200 feet from the spot where
he disappeared after being attacked
by a shark. The body had been bit
ten nearly in to above the waist line.
Shark hunters at Matawan creek
believe they have this shark penned
up in the creek behind a series of wire
nets which have been strung across
the creek at intervals from its mouth
to the scene of the tragedy, sixteen
miles from the entrance. Men, armed
with shotouns. rifles and harpoons,

had seen five of the big fish near the
point where W. Stanley Fisher and
Lester Stillwell were killed. They
made preparations for a shark drive
at noon today, when the ebb tide
will .leave only a few feet of water in
the creek. Dynamite will be exploded
again in an effort to atun the sharks
and bring them to the surface.
, Joseph Dunn, the 10-year-old boy
whose leg was terribly torn by the
invader of Matawan creek, is in a hos
pital in New Brunswick, N. J. Little
hope it entertained for his recovery.
' Coast Guard Joint Hunt
Washington, July 14. Tragic ttor
ies of attack by tharkt upon bathert
along the New Jersey coast were dis
cussed at today t meeting of the cab
inet. Later Secretary McAdoo an
nounced that the coast guard would
be ordered to do what it could to
ward clearing the coast of the dan-
Jrerous fish and preventing further
oss of life.
Instructions were sent by ' the
Treasury deoartment both to the
coast guard cutters and life-saving
stations to aid in killing sharks and
when possible warn resorts of their
nroximitv.
Secretary Redfield told the cabinet
that the bureau ot nsneries naa oeen
unable to offer any scientific explana
tion of the unprecedented attacks
upon human beings.
A formal statement made public
by Acting Commissioner Moore of
ine nsneries Bureau eaiu we uhiwu
experts reluctantly had been com
pelled to come to the conclusion that
no certain effective preventive meas
ures could be recommended, but ad
vised a shark-catching campaign and
warned batnert to stay in snauow
water. Attention was called to the
small number of attacks compared
with the vast army of bathers, with
the suggestion that there appeared to
be no reason for panic among the
people at seaaide resorts.
Case of Discharged
Postmaster Will
Come Up Next Week
V North Platte, Neb, July 14. (Spe
cial.) The final round of the fight
of John G. Porter to retain hit posi
tion at postmaster of Bridgeport will
be settled in the North Platte divis
ion of the United Statet dittrict court
The case bat been brought Into fed
eral court for the final settlement of
the point of law Involved and will bt

rough of Omaha next week.
' ludire R. W. Hobart of the Morrill
county district court granted l re
straining order to prevent rostai in
SDector W. M. Coble of Omaha from
turning the postal property over to
another party. Porter, who wat or
dered to retire from otnee iy tne
postmaster general's office, when he
wrote a sarcastic letter relative to an
additional appropriation for the
Bridgeport office, contends that he
was placed in office by the president
and the United Statet senate and that
it does not lie within the province of
the nostmaster general to depose him.
According to Coble's interpretation
of the law, the postmaster general has
this authority.' It is to settle thit
point of law that the case will be
tried before judge wooarougn.

French Prepare to Advance.
There was no news this moraine of
important developments on the re
mainder of the western front, but at
last accounts the French were pre
paring to resume their offensive south
of the Somme, while the Germans
were still hammering at the defenses
of Verdun. The opinion is held in
France, however, that continuation of
the Somme battle will compel the
Germans to slacken their efforts at
Verdun, which now have been in pro
gress nearly five months, especially
as the French estimate the Germans
lost 12,000 men in counter attacks on
Contalmaison.
Struggle Along Stokhod.
The Russians have made no notice
able advance on any part of their
front since they gained the Stokhod
river, where the struggle continues
desperately. The right bank appar
ently now has been cleared of Ger
mans, but it it not known here wheth
er the' crossings made by the Rus
sians have given them a firm footing

"Latest reports state that we cap

and cleared the en

The British advance reported in to
day's official dispatch apparently con
stitutes the second phase of the great
Anglo-French offensive Jn the neigh
borhood of the Somme river, which
began July 1 over a front of some
thing more than twenty miles. The
first phase of this offensive carried
the British forward to and gave themi Eighth: Frankim t. Burt, Twelfth; Robert
possession ot Contalmaison and
Montauban, but the French on their
right moved their lines further for
ward. The reported capture of Longueval
and Bezantin-Le-Grand indicates that
the British in today's assault ad
vanced east or northward from Com
talmaison or Montauban and that
they apparently have brought their
right wing on a par with the French
left, and are thrusting a salient be
tween Peronne, the immediate
French objective, and Bapaume, the
point at which the British movement
is reported to be directed.
Longueval it about threi and one
half miles east of- Contalmaison and

on freight train No. 79, was severely
injured at the passenger station here
yesterday at 1 o'clock in the after

platform as he was about to jump
from the rear end of the train. He
was struck on the right hip by the
truck. It knocked him from the car
to the middle of the track. Had he
been riding anywhere except on the
last car he would undoubtedly have
been killed. His. hip was badly bruised
and he was considerably bruised over
his entire body, but no bones were
broken. He waa taken to the Red
Oak hospital, where his wounds were
dressed, and he was able to return
home yesterday evening.
