GOVERNMENT ORDERS INVESTIGATION OF MAN-EATING SHARKS Coast Guard and Life Saving Sta- tions are Ordered to Remove Menace. TERRIBLLY MANGLED BODY OF ONE VICTIM IS FOUND Anuthorities’ Offer- $100 Reward for Sharks; Terror Seizes Beach Bathers, (By United Press) ‘Washington, July 14.—The U. S. Bureau of Fisheries today considered the man-eating sharks’ attack upon bathers "along the New York and New Jersey coast sufficiently serious to warrant an official investigation. The coast guard and life saving sta- tions have been ordered to investi- gate and remove the menace. Body is Found. Mattewan, N. Y., July 14.—The terribly mangled body of Lester Still- well, victim of a man-eating shark, has been recovered in Mattewan creek. The body had great jagged wounds in the abdomen and breast and showed where the shark‘s teeth closed over the body. Coasts Patrolled. New York, July 14.—Armed shark Tiunters i*motor boats patroHed tho] New York and New Jersey coasts to- 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 autfl"figies 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 though 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 13 miles from the mouth of the inlet to prevent egress into Raritan bay. A British sloop ar- riving from Bermuda reported to- day to have killed a score of sharks during the voyage, one of them off the New Jersey coast. Terror has seized the multitudes who have bathed at beaches along the New Jersey coasts ,and compara- tively few persons venture into the water. At Ashbury Park and other New Jersey resorts wire nets have been strung around the bathing areas.
