Policemen and firemen eligible to the selective draft will n6t be exempted or discharged unless it is found they have physical defects or dependents, which must be eubstantiated by the same procedure taken by the ordinary civillan. This is made emphatic in a ruling issued by Provost Marshal Gen- eral Crowder "at Washington. This ruling affects the police and firemen of this city, According to the draft regulations, men holding judicial appointments end city and cousty elective positions are exempted, but policemen and fire- men are not regarded as municipal officers. They will be forced to appear be- fore the local boards when called and g0 through the physical examination. Then they will file thelr exemption claims, but the law provides that a third person may intervene. These claims will be matters for the district board to decide. Providing this board denies the appeals, a fur- ther appeal may be made to the presi- dent within ten days after a decision has been rendered by the district board. The president's decision ,will be final. and providing the verdict of the @istrict board is upheld, the po- Jicemen and firemen selected will be compeiled to serve in the army. |SCHOOL OF SHARKS AT PLEASURE BEACH Ten Foot Man Eaters Are Seen Close to the Shore. Sharks of great size have been seen quite often during the past and pres- ent week inhabiting the waters close to the shore of Pleasure Beach. A man well known veracity, who sum- mers at the resort, has watched them las they sported within ten yards of the shore. | The biz fish have not only heen seen one at a time but ver often as many as three or four at a time. The small- est one is about eight or nine feet in length and in a very fatted state. The largest ones, which must be the parental part of the school are 10 to feet in length and much stouter than the others. The sharks are be- lieved to be of the variety that have been brought in here lately bv smack fishermen, who caught them in their nets in the sound. It may be that theee sharks are of a harmless variety, but it will be well for al] bathers along the shores of the sound, and especially those at Pleas- ure Beach, where the first have been seen, to be on their guard against man-eaters.
