ENDOF THE LONG HEARING
Measure Opposed Yesterday by Mr.
'?? ""'''Darling, One of the Largest Oys- '
ter Plantcrs ot" the State
of yirginia.
The jolnt Commlttees of tho Senate and
House on Flsh and Gamo and tbe Ches?
apeake and Its Trlbutaries held nn ln
terestlng sesslon ln tlio Senate Chamber
yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Darling, one of the lai;gest plontors
In tbe State, anpeared before the com?
mittee ln opjiosltion to Ihe Jordan blll. He
slated that in his oplnion such a wlde
opon blll as tliat of Mr. Jordan's would
jcopardlzo the natural oyster rocks of the
State. When his people got posaession of
tho grounds on Hampton Uata thero was
holeglslatlve survey to deflne whlch wns
und what was not a natural rock. Before
that tlme, ho sald, ench appllcatlon When
,'fought vj_b- (ought in tho courts and the
court -tfnly* setded that particular case.
To open up this qucstlon by the-passago
6i such a blll as Mr. Jordan's would glve
a chance not only to the appllcants to
soouro natural rocks, but, even adtnlttlng
tliat they accured only barren gromuls,
thnt formcr grounds would bo so wired ln
nnd oul among the rocks that It could
not be siiccessfully asslgncd, so that
elther tho InterestB of tlio oystermen or
the tongmen in tho rocks or of tho plant
era could be siiccessfully protected. Even
now the planters found lt dltilcult to ob
taln suiriclent seed, and anythlng wiiicii
r.iako plantlng ground of natural rocks.
would ultlmntely be detrirnonlal to th*
induat'r'y. Ho be'lewed thnt tho men
from Tldewater w.'io favored tho bill were
in hopo of getting the rocks, ralhor than
tlio barren grounds.
Captaln John A. Curtls, ex-momber of
the A'lrglnla State Board of Fislierles,
was Introduced by Kenator Bryaut und
(spoke strongly agalnst any brc-aking of
tlio Baylor survey, He sald the survey,
whlle Incorroct to somo extent, was as
Hproxlmately correct, ho supposed, a's
could be raaiit. Ile ligreed wlth Mr. Dar?
ling that tbe assignments of such
grounds us were pontemplatcd by tne

GIROLAMI'S

Tlie Dlscovery Was a Shock
to the Police.'
C. PASQUINI IS IN CHARGE
Sald that Qlrolaml Has No Connection
Whateyor Wlth the Placo?it Wlll
Be Reported to tho Pollcoy
Court To-Day,
Nolwlthstandlng that Judge Wltt a few
weeks ago revoked tho lloenso of Androw
Qlrolaml to conduct a saloon at the cor
nor of Flftoenth and Franklln Stroets,
tho place wns open and dolng a thriving
btislnoss as usual last nlght, as a rosult
of whlch C. Pasqulnl, formorly managor
for the suipposed dofunct and ex-liquor
dealer, wlll this mornlng bo reportad to
the Police Justlco for dolng business wlth?
out the noccssary Llconse.
THE PLACE OPEN.
It waa reported to Captaln bhlnberger,
of the Flrst Distrlct, last nlght lhat tbe
saloon was onco agaln open. He hastenod
to tho spot and found tho rumor to be
absoliitoly correct, for tho little "hole
ln the wall" at tho famous cornor was
brlghtly llghted and tho doora swlnging
loose. Insldo a tall, lean llollan was be
hlnd tho bnr, ready to serve who
ever ha'ppened ln. Hia countonanoe
dropped when tho oftlcer onterc.d, but
othorwlso he showod no signa of surpriso,
Captaln Shlnberger nuestloned tbe bar
tender ona learned tliat Glrolaml wns not
about thofiplace. the Italian tnklng palns
to point out a sniall placard slgn abovo
the bar on whlch was' wrltten Iho name
of C. Pasqulnl. Thls persoh, sald the
saioonlst in brolcen Engllsh, wns the
proprlotor, and was wholly responslble for
tho placo
In tho next room, tho old oyster houso,
was found Pasqulnl, who, by tho way.
ls one of the oldost and best known
foreigners In tlffe clty. Ho wns comfort
ably seatod on a stool, apparently walt
Ing tho nrrl'i'iU of the pnllce ofllcer.
QUESTIONTED PASQUINI.
Captaln Slilnberger nuestloned thls In
dlvldual closely, but tho result wa-s prac
tlcally tho same ns In tbe former In
stnnce. Pasqulnl admlttcd that he ownod
Ihe bar. Ho saldUhat he had lui-ocurod
n llcenso from the Husllngs Court to open
the placo, but this certlilcate was .not
forthconilng, the man evidently not enring
to dlsplay tho paper for the inapec
tlon of Captaln Shlnberger.
"I wlll havo to report you for solllng
wlthout a llcense," sald tho Captaln to
tho Italian.
A shriig of the shouldor nnd curl of the
llp was tho only answer, after whlch the
ofllcer left the plnec. In a few mlnules
Pasqulnl retlred upstalrs, and so far as
is known was soon soundly asleeip, caring
little about tlio actlon of the police.
At the stntlon Captaln Shlnberger wrote
his report of the clay, bringlng forwarfl
promlnently the openlng of tho saloon.
Thls wlll go to\ hendquarters thls morn?
lng, nnd before noon Justlco Crutchflcld
wlll havo been possessod of the fnct.s. He
wlll doubtloss issue an nttachment
agalnst Pasqulnl, and to-morrow he may
apipear as a defendant ln answer to the
charge of runnlng wlthout a llcense.
CAUSED GREAT SURPBISE.
Probably the actlon of the police In no
slnglo Instanco lately has created more
talk that tlio proccduro taken by Cap?
taln Shlnberger last nlght, nnd even this
Is a more elpher when comipared wlth tho
surprlso created among tho whlskey elc
ment when It was learned thnt the old
stnnd at Flfteenth and Franklin Streets
was once ngnln open for business.

although his former niannger pos'es as
proprlotor nnd his former bartender was
worklng behlnd tho counter. It ivns 1m
posslble to gnln nn intorvlew wlth elther
Glrolaml or Pnsqtiina at a late hour.
A'Vhon n reporter for The Tlmes-Dls
patch vlslted tbe well-known locality
last nlght ho found ln tho saloon the
snmo Indlvldual who greeted Captaln
Shlnberger. Slltlng on a keg ln the cor?
nor, closo to tho stove, was a woman,
and to her the attempted intcrview ap?
peared of moro tnterest than to tho man.
No othor persona wero ln the bar nt the
tlme, although two or throo peoplo on
terod during the course of tho conver
satlon.
REFUSED TO ANSWER.
Tho mnn bohlnd' the bnr rofused point
blank to answer nny quostlons. Ho
polnted to a placard ovor tho bar, whlch,
as stated, bemrs'tho naino of C, Pas?
qulnl. Asked who thls man was and
what his glven namo wns, tho bartender
rofused to answer. He gninted a mono
syllable and sliruggod bls slioulders.
Doviens of nther pertlnont qui'stions
wero lU'ed at hlm. but bo know nothing.
Ho did ndnilt that ho formorly worhed
for Glrolaml, but refvised to talk ot the
llcenso or tlio vislt of the police. Ho
would not even so much ns say what
hour of tho day tho placo was opened'.
