Thinks of Canned Roast"

Chicago, March 22.-The government
curt of inquiry last night examined
| two witnesses with reference to the beef
question-Dr. Nicholas Sem and Lieu
tenant Colonel a. w CorIiss Dr. Sem
said the canned beef was tasteless and
certainly appeared to lack nutritious
qualities. as was apparent from the
condition of the men who returned from
Cuba to Monta auk-men who had never
been i'll but were greatly emaCiated. He
believed that the meat was Over-dOne-
that there was some fault in the process
of preparation-that the process has not
been perfected He made no formal in
spectiOn of the canned roast beef but
bad eaten some Of it. and his statements
were based on his own experience.
The meat was evidently good meat
was Of good quality-but as stated be-
fore was not properly prepared. was
overlooked in boiling. Meat over-done
as was we'll known loses much OF it's
nutritious qualities in the escapinL
fluids How much nutrition the meat
lost in the canning process he could not
say as he had never seen meat canned
or made an analysis OF the water. Many
agencies contributed to the emaciation
Of the men and one Of them was the lack
Of nutrition in the meat ration.
He said he had eaten some Of the ra-
tive beef and IL was good. but later ad-
mitted that the beef might have been
the refrigerated. In reply to General
Davis the witness stated that the meat
a prepared by the packers according to
the testimony given would not lose
much Of its nutrition. He saw no evi-
dence Of the use Of chemicals in the
canned roast beef.
He had heard of cases Of ptomaine in
toXication. but did not see any.
PtOmaines would not develop if the meat
were thoroughly sterilized and properly
sealed.

ROOT APPEALS TO THE
GOVERNORS FOR AID

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Secre-
tary of War this afternoon issued the
following appeal to Governors of States
for aid for the storm sufferers in Porto
Rico:
Sir: I inclose herewith copies of two
telegraphic dispatches received last even
ing from the Governor General of Porto
Rico, by which it appears that the devas-
tation wrought by the recent hurricane in
that island is even greater than was at
first supposed. 1t is evident that great
multitude of people rendered utterly des-
titute by this awful calamity must be fed
and cared for during a considerable Pc
riod, until they can have the opportunity
to produce food for themselves. Enor-
NOUS quantities of supplies of the kind in
dicated by the Governor General must be
procured
The magnitude of the work to be ac-
compGshed leads this department to sup
plement the appeal already made to the
Mayors of the principal cities of the coun-
try by more general appeal ana peg
you to ask the people of your State TO
contribute generously to the relief OF the
people of Porto Rico.
Swift steamers have been provided to
leave the port of New York to carry the
supplies directly TO Porto Rico as rapidly
as they can be collected.
Contributions should be either in supplies
of the character indicated or in money, in
order that the supplies can be purchaSSedI' a
The supplies should be sent to Colonel F.
B. Jones Army building, foot of White
hall street. New York City. in packages
plainly marked Porto Rican relief, and
he should be consulted as to the time OF
shipment.
Money should be sent to the National
Bank of North America, New York City,
which has been designated as a depository
for the relief fund. Very respectfully:
ELIHU ROOT,
Secretary of War.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen
to-day wrote Secretary Root that the
navy desired to cooperate in every
way it could in rendering assistance to
the storm stricken people of Porto Rico
and rendering a warship to be placed at
the disposal of the War Department if
it was desired to convey supplies to the
islands. The offer doubtless will be ac-
cepted, as every available means is be-
ing adopted to hurry along the great
stock of supplies which is imperatively
needed Mr.. Allen Is in telegraphic
communication with several naval sta
tions with view to having ship
ready as soon as the War Department
wants it.
Secretary Root received the follow
ing dispatch to-day:
GRAND MERE. Quebec, Aug 4-Hon
Elihu Root, Secretary of War. Washing
toni forward you to-day 800 for Porto
Rico relief fund. r. A. ALGER.
Secretary Root replied
General R. A. Alger, Grand Mere, Que
bec-Thanks for your generous contribu-
ton to Porto RiCan relief | trust you
are rapidly regaining your health.
ELIHU ROOT

The committee organized in Wash
ington to secure and forward relief to
the people of Texas has decided to

and will solicit no more aid for Texas.
