EMBALHED BEEF INVESTIGATION.
More Conflicting Testimony Before Wa
Investigation Commission Meat
Was gO0d

Washington, Jan. 5.-Colonel Henry
b. Osgood, commissary of subsistence
who served with General Miles at Tam
pa, Camp Thomas and Santiago, testi-
fed before the war investigating COM
mission today that the refrigerated beef
served the troops during the war was
better than any beef served the regu-
lar army in other times, and better than
the beef killed on the hoof. He declared
positively that none Of the beef given
the soldiers was chemically prepared
and said all talk to this effect arose out
of the fact that an inventor named
Powell was permitted on the Comal to
test process he had for keeping beef in
hot climates. None Of this process meat
was served to the soldiers.
