connection of her husband with the in
cident came late yesterday afternoon,
when she read the account of the trou-
Bile in the morning papers.
Then, although the description of her

Isl to conclude that 1t was her husband.
To-day. howSver. there is no longer any
doubt in her mind as to his identity, and
She is making arrangements to return to
her home in Grand Rapids, Mich, which
she left not more than two years ago.
Mrs. Steele, aside from her little twelve
year-old boy, a bright, manly little fell

References to Members of Their
Race by Captain McCarrick
Seriously Offended Them.
BRITISH SHIPS AT THE FAIR
Cabiegram From Hon. c. w.
Kohlsaat Announces That
Squadron Will Be Sent.

NORFOLK, VA, January 1.-THE Jew
ist population of Norfolk is indignant over
what it terms an insult offered the
Jewish race by Captain j. w. McCarrick,
president of the Board OF Trade. in his
address at the big ladies' booster meet
ing at the Academy of Music last week.
Rev. r.. s. Cohen, rabbi Of Chef Sholom
Temple. the leading %ynagogu of the city,
has made a vigorous reply to Captain Nc
Carrick, in a sermon at the synagogue.
and that, coupled with current correspond
ence on the affair, has only served to add
fuel to the flame started by the Board OF
Trade president. The Jews, they say,
were characterized as a band of ''grafters'
and land schemers.'' Captain McCarrick
made the remarks in connection with n
reference to the promotion of the James,
town Exposition.
Jewish ladies' attended the meeting in
large numbers, IN q. special invitation.
They consider that they were treated very
shabbily, and say that they were much
hurt by the remarks of Captain McCar-
rick.
They think some one should have arisen
in the meeting and challenged the re-
marks of the speaker. uncomfortable as
the Jewish ladies' We're made to feel, they
uIt nut illiI tlldl ally OI tDelT HuI1Der
should be expected to reply to the cap
tain.
The ladies' expect the remarks of Cap
tain McCarrick to be denounced by those
under whose auspices the meeting was
held. and they also expect to receive an
apology for the insult they regard offered
them.
Twenty English Ships.
The English navy will be represented
at the jamestown Exposition by the
British first cruiser squadron, it has been
definitely announced.
This Information is conveyed in a cable
gram received to-day at the offices of
the Jamestown Exposition from Hon.
Charles w. Kohlsaat. commissioner-gen-
eral of the exposition. The cablegram
says:
Have succeeded in obtaining definite
assurance that the British Admiralty de-
signates the first cruiser squadron to
visit the jamestown Exposition. Am
forwarding photographs"
The number of vessels which go to \
make up the first cruiser squadron is
not known here. but at the exposition
offices they are supposed to number about
twenty vessels, all told. In it are included
perhaps a half-dozen vessels of the first
class, and the remainder vessels of the
second class and auxiliaries.
A portion of the squadron commanded
by Prince Henry of B~attenberg, with his
flag aboard the cruiser Drake, visited the
United States about two years ago. Prince
Henry went to Annapolis, Md, aboard the |
Drake. From there he went to Washing
ton on an official call.
Most of the time that the ships were on |
this side of the water was spent in New
York harbor.
