GETTING READY FOR
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION

Jamestown, Va, May I2.-Several
thousand visitors came here with
the excursion of the association for the
preservation of Virginian antiquities, to
visit the interesting historical sciics
with which Jamestown and surroundings
abound and to inspect the site of the
coming exposition. They swarmed
through the town all forenoon and Wis
lted everything of historical interest.
Particular interest was shown in the
ruins of the old Smith6eld church, on
the site of which the building of the
National Society of Colonial Danes is
to be erected.
Before the building will be begun, it
will be necessary to take down the
present shed and box over the founda-
tions, chancel and tombs. Arrange
ments have been made to begin the
work in few days. Mr.. Edmund NJ.
Wheelwright, of Boston, the eminent
architect. who is to complete the plans
for this building, recently visited
Jamestown and is very enthusiastic
about the work and thoroughly in sym
pathy with the ideas of the association
for the preservation of Virginia antiqui-
ties. The tower is. of course, not to
be touched. The walls are to be built
with specially made bricks of a size to
correspond with the bricks in the tower
which arc somewhat thinner than the
modern standard bricks These will be
interspersed with ancient glazed bricks
taken from some old wrecks of houses
which will be bought for the purpose,
The new building will probably be. to
a great extent, a copy of the Smithheld
church
The interior of the present founda-
tions. with the remains of the church
in which the first legislature assembled,
the old chancel and the tombs, will be
preserved intact A flooring OF grano-
lithic or some such substance will cover
most of the space within the founda-
tons, and railing running around in
side will protect the ruins.
At the last session of congress $50
600 was appropriated for a monument
at Jamestown. provided site was do
mated The association for the pres
ervation of Virginia antiquities has of
fered for that purpose site at the east
ern end Of its grounds, on high level
point If this offer is accepted the
fence of the A. P. v. A. can be moved
little westward and the grounds be
preserved intact as at present. The
proposed monument will be of an ar
tistic and impressive character. 1t will
be reduced COPY Of the Washington
monument in Washington and will be
about 100 feet in height.

BABY MYSTERY
WAS SOLVED
WIDOW WAS MOTHER
OF ABANDONED CHILD
Her Husband Died Before Child's Birth
and She Was Unable to Provide for
Infant Police Have Not Located
the Mother.

Grand Forks, N. D.. May 1a.--The
mystery Of the baby abandoned here this
week has been solved. The child was
the baby daughter Of Mrs. S. Farsner,
formerly Of Minnesota and more recent
" of Devils Lake. II seems that Mrs.
Farsner became widow six months
before the birth of the child and went
from Minnesota to the Mercy hospital
at Devils Lake. where the child was
born. Mrs. Farsner did not want to
burden her relatives with the care Of
the child and thought she was unable
to support it. It IS claimed that she
informed acquaintances at Devils Lake
that she would abandon the baby.
Efforts are being made to locate the
woman but so far they have been i'm
successful She has sister at Bisbee,
but it is denied that she has gone there
and it is thought perhaps she has re-
turned to her former home in Mime
sofa.

DEAD LOCK
OVER CANAL
SENATE COMMITTEE
is UP I'm THE AIR
Half the Members Want Sea Level
and the Other Half a Lock Canal
Two Members of the Committee
Were Absent.

Washington, May I2.-The senate
committee on inter oceanic canals is
in deadlock on the question OF type
OF Panama canal to be recommended.
The question was taken up today and
the vote showed FIVE for sea level and
five for the lock type recommended by
the minority of the board OF consult
ing engineers. There were two alb
sentees, Senator'S German and Car
mack. The latter telegraphed from
Tennessee instructing the chairman to
count his vote for sea level type,
which would have made majority
against the lock canal decided upon by
the administration. After wrangling
for an hour over the question OF ac-
cepting the vote of Senator Carmack,
the commission adjourned until We'd
nesday next.
An effort was made by Senator Kit
redge to vote Senator Carmack but all
objection was made 1t was argued
that this course would be unprecedented
inasmuch as the Tennessee senator has
not attended any Of the hearings. Sem
ator German. who has been i'll since
hearings were begun. has made no re-
quest that his name be voted. If Sen
ator Carmack should return to Wash
ington before the meeting Wednesday,
undoubtedly the decision of the commit
tee will be in favor Of a sea level
canal. If the question was submitted
to the committee whether his vote
should be counted. it is said that the
sea level advocates would win.
