WILL EXHIBIT
LIVE WHALES
Unique Proposition to Exhi-
bition Co. That May
Be Accepted.
Special TO The journal.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 21.-Only a shor.
! distance out in the Atlantic Ocean
from Cape Charles and Cape Henry
that guard the entrance 10 Hampton
Roads and Chesapeake Bay, schools
, of whales may be seen Wy passengers
on almost any Atlantic liner or other
ship that passes. They are of the At
lantic or Biscay, or rign, whale spe-
cies and often venture so close to a
vessel that they could easily be har-
pooned. They grow 10 an enormous
size, some of them beingg fully sixty
feet long.
Once upon time there was a man
! who said: there is nothing new under
! the sum-" but that was a long time
ago and the old gentleman had no
idea of the modern genius, zid many
new things have appeared since then
or have appeared for the f. st time as
everything has to do, which amounts
to the same thing.
And. now comes the latest thing in
the form of an application for a con
cession at the jamestown Exposition,
TO exhibit two or three large whales.
This latter day Barnum proposes to
build stockade in Hampton Roads
abutting on the exposition ground.
that will inclose about ten acres, build
broad walk on the top of the heavy
piling, that visitors may enter at one
gate walk around the corral and pass
out at another gate. In rnfs stockade
he proposes to imprison two or three
large whales for the edifcation of tire
visitors as they pass around the semi
circle.
This is certainly something that has
never before been attempted at any
exposition First, because the whales
could not have been taken to previ-
Gus expositions alive If they had been
caught, and il they had been caught
and taken to the expositions they
could not have been kept alive for
want of their native salt water. In
this case, however, the levfathan of
the deep can not only be landed with
in the stockade of heavy piling in
acres of their accustomed salt water,
but may disport themselves in plain
view OF visitors without any serious
inconvenience TO themselves.
When asked how he was going 20
get the whales, the promoter glisly
remarked: That's easy. I shall sim

NEW QUARTERS
Of HOSE Go.
No. 3
Have Been Completed and
Are Now Being Occu-
pied by Firemen.

The new quarters Of Hose Company
No. 8, at the corner of Zarrasossa
and Commandments streets, have been
completed, and are now being occu-
pied by the company. The place occu-
pied is the brick building owned by
the city, and formerly known as the
old Masonic building.
Some weeks ago il was decided by
the city to remodel the building and
use it for a truck house, and bids
were invited for the work The low
est of these bids was about $500.
while the highest was $3.50. This
amount was not available for sucn
purposes and the Board OF Works de-
cided to have the work done by city
employees. Mayor Bliss was appointed
a committee of one to look after the
work and when it was completed IL
was found that it had cost less than
$500.
The east end of the building is used
as a place for the hose wagon and TOT
the horses. The floor is covered with
cement. except the stalls OF the AMI
mails. The truck leaves the house on
the south side of the building and on
the return can enter from Jenerson
street. Upstairs there is large room
for Captain Riera and the men OF the
company. This has been fitted out
neatly by the men, mating being
placed on the floor with an individual
locker for each man and a desk LOT
the captain. The place is well Lighted,
having a number of windows on eacn
side. and the firemen believe 1t is the
ideal truck house of the department.

New York, Feb. 23.-Except for q
brief moment Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw had little hardship in the wit
ness. chair under District Attorney

Mrs. Thaw had been temporarily
excused In the morning to enable Dis
trict Attorney Jerome TO introduce
ABE" Hummei to identify photo
graphic copy of an affidavit Mrs.
Thaw Is alleged to have signed, charg-
ing Thaw with cruelties during their
1903 trip to Europe. Jerome got the
contents of the affidsvit before the
jury this afternoon by reading it In
the form of questions, and asking wit
ness If she told such things to Hum
mel. She denied them and also de-
MED having signed such an affidavit,
but admitted having signed papers for
White in the tower" the nature OF
which she was unaware.
1t was during the morning session
that Jerome played his strongest hand
when, in answer to a question, she
denied positively that she had ever
been, to see a DR.. Flint with Jack
Barrymore. DR.. Flint appeared with
in a few fest OF witness on Jerome's
call. When Jerome asked witness II
she had ever seen him, she looked q
bit startled, then iutently at the ply
stefan and, turning to Jerome. shook
her head and said never"
Thaw was intensely interested in
! this episode and at the answer OF his
wife turned to the newspaper men at
ting near and said: That man made
mistake by coming here. He stood
there liar Do you catch that point

Later Mrs. Thaw explained some
parts of Thursdays testimony to the
effect that she had never handled any
of Whites letter of credit; that her
mother got it all; that concerning the
cablegrams, they referred to a score
tary of the American embassy in Lon
don who went to her mothers room
when she was in bed and insulted her.

ATTEMPT TO PROBE INTO cHIcA-

DEAL BRINGS UP QUESTION
THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DECiD-
ED BY THE COURTS.

New York, Feb. 23.-E. H. Harri-
man, master the Union Pacific system
and many other big railroads, spent
to-day telling the interstate commerce
commission of the intimate history OF
financial operations by himself and as
sociates. Counsel for the government
was particularly keen in examining
Hartman and attacked The reorganiza-
ton and the financing OF the Chicago
syndicate. This action met with a
challenge by counsel for Hartman, de-
nying the right of the commission to
INQUIRE into the private transactions
Of an individual. By direction of coun-
sci Hartman declined to tell what pro
portion of preferred stock Of the Alton
sold to the Union Pacific belonged to
him individually, and the way was
thus paved for taking the question In
to the federal courts.
The point raised involves material
limitation ON the inquisitorial power
of the commission and Is of the utmost
Importance to the whole question Of in
terstate corporation investigation The
government counsel sought to show
the enormous profits in the Alton deal
and imitation of watered securities by
virtue of the control of stocks and
bonds of the road. Harriman's testi
mony was a denial OF all the charges
Il and toward the close Of the Afternoon
he made an extended explanation Of

money for the purchase Of the Alton
B.. & O.. and Illinois Central paper
came from the sale of Northern Pacific
stock from which he realized nearly
