CHICAGO CONDEMNED B.eF.
Inspector Devoe's 1894 Report Will Now
Receive Some Attention.

Washington, March 13.-The report
which Chief Inspector Devoe of the bu-
reau of animal industry at Chicago.
testified before the beef court of in
quiry. Saturday. he had made in 1884
to the agricultural department regard
ing allegations of the marketing of
condemned meat that had been taken
out of the tanks of a Chicago packer.
will be the subject of investigation by
the court. Lieut.. Col. Davis, the re-
corder of the court. today, telegraphed
Secretary Wilson asking him to for
ward copy of the report.
All information concerning the char
acter of the report is refused at the
department on the ground that the al
legations made in it could not be SUBJ
stantia ted entirely. and that the good
name of the packing concern is in
vOlved
When the report was received here,
during the last administration, the
case was submitted to the attorney
general with view to prosecution
The latter examined the papers and re-
ported that the evidence was INSULT
cient upon which to base a prosecution
and recommended that the regulations
of the bureau be changed so as to pre-
clude any further action of the kind
charged and that was done.
Speaking of DR.. Devoe's report, Sec
rotary Wilson said that if the evidence
was complete he would have no hesita-
ton in making the report public, but
the charges had not been proven and
the papers therefore should be held as
confidential. -..

do not do any slaughtering directly

by us to the tinted States, last year

chemicals are used or relied upon by us
to preserve canned beef A very small
quantity Of salt is used !
Arthur Meeker, the manager of Ar
mour & Co.'S packing house. testified
that the accumulation of canned goods
was held in Chicago. but the firm had
also a large stock in Europe. 1t had
on hand at the outbreak of the Span
ish war 500, 900 pounds of canned roast
beef in Chicago and 100000 pounds in
New York. 1t sold 1000, 1000 pounds to
the government and also 100000 pounds
of corned beef.
How do you account for the diSsat-
isfaction that is alleged on the part of
the soldiers in the use Of the canned
roast beef??'
Il think there were several reasons.
the heat which caused the fat and the
Jelly to melt and the meat to separate
no salt in it, no pepper, no cond:-
ments."
The witness stated that Powell was
meat dealer, he understood, i'm New
York City. Powell visited the New
York office and said he had a process
for preserving refrigerated beef for a
period without ice. 1t was quite q
proposition to handle beef in the warm
country. and the New York office sent
Powell To Florida to experiment. The
experiment was not satisfactory to the
government and that was the.end of it.
S. S. Conway, general superintendent
of Armour & Co., said that salt petro
and sugar We're used in preparing hog
products and sometimes borax for
shipping purposes and none of these
were used in connection with the pre-
paration of beef.
w. Il. Walton. superintendent of the
canned meat department or Armour &

preservative was sterilization.

1t is as important to speak distinctly

Many persons who would resent being

hurry in your speaking, ana never
force the breath out while talking. BY
an unconscious process the lungs will
supply enough air to give the desired
kind and volume of sound. When you
