No Chemicals We're Used.

He denied that any chemicals We're used
as means of preserving the beef. There
was no necessity for employing such de-
vices, and it would simply be an additional
expense.
DIR. Conner asked the witness if the in
spector could make an examination of the
animals at the rate of one every half
minute: if they could in that time discover
signs of tuberculosis on the lungs and
nodules on the liver, and the general con-
dition of the various organs.
The witness said he thought So and
General DENLY interposed to say that the
inspector was employed by the government
and the company had nothing to do with
him, and therefore if the inspection was
not thorough it was the fault of the gov
eminent.
This line of inquiry was not pursued any
further, and as the members of the COM
mission had no questions to ask the wit
ness was excused.
His place was taken by Mr.. Edwin Buck
ingham, an employee of Swift G. Co.. who
described the methods followed in prepar-
ing meat for shipment. He said that to
his knowledge no chemical had ever been
used by the company in the treatment of
heef

He said the terms of the contract made
to furnish the government with beef were
carried out, and that the quality of beef
called for was furnished.
In regard to beef that had been in a re-
frigerator, he said that a fungus growth
appeared on it that is called the beard. q"
He regarded this beard" as the sign of
the ripening of the beef, and the beef was
better in that stage than in the earlier
stages. He cited instances where large Chi
cago hotels pay a higher price for the beef
when it has been aged He added that the
meat furnished the government was treat
ed exactly all other beef-in fact, when
this beef was bought its destination was not
known. There had been no complaint in re-
gard to the beef from any part of the coun-
try, but there had been a complaint made
that the beef shipped in the Manitoba to
Porto Rico was unfit for use. This COM
plant came from the commissary depart
ment. he believed. He was satisfied that
the beef was in good condition when it ar
rived in Porto Rico, but the length of time
that elapsed from the date the beef was
shipped before an attempt was made TO
unload it might, he thought, account for its
condition.

STILL TALKING BEEF
The Subject Being Pursued by the
War Commission.
TESTIMONY GIVEN BY employees
Methods Pursued by a Chicago
Packing Concern.
CONTRACT TERMS OBSERVED

The beef packing concern of Swift & Co.
of Chicago had an opportunity this morn
ing to tell the war investigating commits
sion about the methods of purchasing,
Strengthening and preparing meats for the
market as pursued by that firm. The story
was told by Mr.. Fred w. Wilder of Chi
cago, the general superintendent of the
company. He stated that all cattle were
purchased on the market, and, after being
examined by government inspector, they
were driven to the abattoir. He described
the various processes of handling the ami
mails in the slaughter house.
In reply to questions, which came mainly
from Gen. DENLY, the witness went very
fully into the details of the various pro-
cesses employed by the company, especially
as to the means adopted for securing clean
illness. He said that 12O animals are hand
died by the gang of men in the course of
an hour, and at the end of the process an
other government inspector makes a post
mortem examination of the carcasses
Preparing Reef for Export.
The witness said that the company
slaughtered about 5000 cattle a week, and
as result of the inspection about twenty
animals of this number We're rejected by
the inspectors. He also described the tag
ging of beef for export and said that such
beef was covered with cheese cloth, the
purpose being to keep it from being chafed
and also to keep it clean. Some account
was given of the refrigerating cars used
in transporting the meat and the witness
said the cars We're cooled by the use of
chopped ice and salt in tanks at each end
of the car, and during hot weather the ice
was renewed every twenty-four hours. The
witness further said that the buyer of the
company in the yards had in mind the
requirements of the various markets when
he bought cattle. For example, certain
grade was purchased for export uses, while
for New York a heavy grade of beef was
demanded. Baltimore called for a lighter
or cheaper grade The best beef was sent
to Boston.
When asked to explain the causes of
these differences in the demands from vari-
Gus parts of tho country, he replied that he
could not. All he knew was the require
ments existed.

Editor Of the Turf Paper Trotter and
PAGER

Editor of the Turf Paper Trotter and
PAGER.
Leslie e. Macleod, editor of the New
York weekly publication the Trotter
and PAGER, died last week, his death be-
ing caused by soroisis of the liver and
pulmonary trouble. Several months ago
when S. s. Toman left the editorial
chair of the paper to fill the position of
secretary of the new track at New York,
Mr.. Macleod, who was then engaged as
one of the writer's for the paper, was
advanced to the position of editor. He
was formerly with Wallace's Monthly
and later with the Horseman of Chicago
and the Horse Review, also of Chicago.
He assisted Charles Marvin in the pub
LEGATION of his book on trotting horses,
and was nearly year in Palo Alto, Cal
ifornia.
Articles from his pen appeared over
the nom de plume ROLAND. The fol-
lowing tribute to his memory appeared
in the latest number of the Trotter and
PAGER:
Mr. Macleod had no mean traits,
was quiet unobtrusive, rather inclined
to be communicative, and while he
made no enemies and was ever cordial
to all, he had few preferred friends.
Others have at times differed editorially
with Mr.. Macleod, yet no writer stood
higher nor commanded more respect
than did he. A wide circle of friends
mourn his early death, he being about
thirtyfive years Old
Mr.. Macleod was occasionally visit
or at Charter Oak park and other tracks
in Connecticut.
