A New York and New Jersey cnast::::-’T day, while others lined the beaches in a concerted effort to exterminate the man-eaters which have moved north from their customary haunts, apparently in large numbers. The village autht#ities of Matawan, N. J., have offered a reward of $100 for every shark brought in dead or alive. One theory is that sharks which formerly fed on refuse thrown over- board from the many ocean steam- ships which plied the Atlantic before the war, now have become ravenous. Even }hough not ordinarily classed as man-eaters, it is said, they prob- ably have been driven by starvation to lurk in the waters of the Atlantic coast, warm at this season, and at- tack human beings. Bathers Terrorized. Three of the huge fishes were seen in Matakan creek and now are be- lieved to have been bottld up there. Nets have been stretched under a bridge about 1% miles from the mouth of the inlet to prevent egress into Raritan bay.
