STONE GRABS WRECK CEMENT BUILT PIER Concrete Crumbled Like Chalk| Before Sharp Claws St. Petersburg. Fla.. Sept. 9. Con- crete heretofore has been regarded as a | match for everything but steel taols and high explosives but, it has been discov- | ered that the stone crab, common to | Florida waters, digs into and crushes it | #s so much chalk. The tool the crab| uses Is his case-hardened claws, the| claws regarded so highly as a table | delicacy after a heavy hammer has been brought into play to crush them | | to permit extraction of the flesh. Engineers for many years have sought an economical method of pro- tecting piling driven in salt water from worms and other,scourges which cut them in two and belleved they had solved the problem by sheathing them with concrete, but the stone crab has shown them their mistake. The discovery was made only recent- ly. Contractors engaged in sheathing the piling of a bridge across Boce Celga Bay near here were mystified at the appearance of holes and cracks in the concrete on piling near the channel, An investigation failed to disclose the cause of the trouble but the problem was solv- ed by George Lizotte, local authority on crabs, who upon learning of the difi- culty declared sone crabs were respon- sible. A further investigation develop- ed that the channel contained thous- ands of the crabs and that they were tearing holes in the concrete to make homes for themselves, the species in- habiting, whenever available, holes in rocks and piling. The contractor has decided to sheath the piling in and near the channel with sheet iron.

Madrid, Sept, §.—Herolc work was done by Dr. Pedro Gonsales Rodrigucz |a naval surgeon during the fighting along the Alhucemas coast between | the Spanish battleship Cataluna ana the Morroccan rebels says the Diario Univereal. The warship directed a heavy fire at Moorish positions on shore, and large numbers of Moroc- cans fell seriously wounded. They were making valn efforts to escape when Dr. Rodriguez asked permission from the Cataluna’s captain to land and at- tend the wounded. The landing was made in full view of the enemy who, observing the humanitarian effort of the Spaniards ceased firing, and allowed the landing to bo made without resistance. After rendering aid, the doctor returned on board the warship accompanied by the men whose lives he had saved.

Chairman Penrose hoped to have the bill completed in a little more than a week so that it might be ready for the senate when congress reconvenes late this month. There was a very frec discussion esterday with Secretary Mellon re- arding the changes in the house mea- sure suggested by him and it may i that the committee will seek further information from him on some points. The committee alsa-expects to take up Senator Smoot's proposal for a sales tax and the present plan is to add some administrative features, includ- ing a provision for a tax investigative commission, which was left out of the house bill in the rush of committee amendments at the last hour of con- sideration In presenting his recommendations, the treasury secretary adhered to the figures on expenditures agreed upon at the White house tax conference last August 9.
