BURN WHALE

OCEAN CITY, Nd, May Is q.
N.S(-Folks in this seashore re-
sort were chuckling today over the
whale story" that emanated from
its namesake city in New Jersey.
1t caused them to remember that
day not so many years ago when
Capts. Edward and John Carey, now
captains of police in Baltimore,
towed a dead whale onto the beach
here to salvage it's oil and bones.
When the work was completed
and the two Careys pocketed about
$500 from a Philadelphia oil con-
sern, it was decided to relinquish
the remainder of the carcass to the
Atlantic.
The body was towed far out to
sea and set adrift, but it reap
peared on the beach the following
day. This tedious work was re.
peated several times until Captain
John remarked to Captain Ed 'it
can't be DONE"
The odor sent forth from the
carcass permeated the town. Hotel
proprietors complained; vacation
lists left their cottages here. The
city was in an pproar. The heavy
whale had imbedded itself in the
sands of the beach and was unmov-
able.
At an indignation meeting the
city officials decided to dynamite
the whales remains. This was done
and the blast showered the shore
front properties with the remain
ing oil and bits of flesh of the body.
The explosive rid the beach Of the
whale, but the smell remained for
many months.
The New Jerseyites at first were
just as proud of their whale as were
the folks here-until the suns rays
started to beam upon it. They
towed it out to sea, too, only to
see it return. Finally they chose
fire and not dynamite to rid the
old whale for all time. Railroad
ties were placed upon the body and
the entire heap was saturated with
oil and ignited. But no one profited
on its oil and bones.

Thomson admitted that the post
office statement Of the Chicago
Journal did not credit the Interna.
tional Paper and Power Company
with stock ownership, although he
said he had informed his COM
petitors in Chicago of the facts.
IT did a foolish and stupid thing
when l did not include the name
of the International Company in
the statement" Thomason said.
In explaining why the Journals
postoffice statement did not show
the power company's interest,
Thomason said the stock was car
ried in the name of w. N. Multi
gan, one Of the company's attor-
neys.
81 did a foolish and stupid thing
in not including it," he said. ''How.
ever, told all my competitors in
Chicago of the Internationals in
terest soon after the deal was con-
sumated. Among those I told
were M. c. Meigs. Of the Chicago
Herald. Examiner, and r. r. Nc

disclosed it to a meeting of the

at the publishers meeting in New

mitted.
No Assistance Here
Thompson said the Greensboro
Record vas purchased without
company assistance. He said he had
spent a week in Greensboro before
purchasing the paper, striving to ef-
feet a consolidation Of the News and

Questioned by Robert F. Healy,
counsel for the commission, as to
what other properties the Interna-
tional had its eye on, Thompson said:
During the summer of 1928,
discussed with Mr.. Graustein tpresi-
dent of the l. P. & PJ the posi-
bilities of purchasing the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, Columbus Dis
patch, Dayton Journal, Kansas City
Star, Newark News, Philadelphia
Inquirer, South Bend News Times,
and the Houston Chronicle.
After some inquiry we found
that we could not buy any of them.
and so there were no actual neso-
