FACTS WIDELY DISTORTED.
Explanation of Charges Regarding
Navy Yard Work.

Some navy yard gossip, magnified. as is
usually the case. and distorted far from
the facts. was the sole basis for what ap-
peared to be charges of a serious nature
preferred against the naval ordnance de-
partment yesterday. That Is the comment,
at least, of the officials of the Navy De-
partment on the allegations made yesterday
before Senate committee to the effect that
the department had paid Cramp about s17,-
600 on account Of gun carriages which We're
actually constructed at the Washington
navy yard, and that the yard was making
Maxim-Nordenfelt guns for the company
controlling that weapon at handsome
profit to the latter.
The official statement of the first matter
is that so far from receiving any money
from the government on account of the
carriages made at Washington. the Cramps
actually lost money. In the effort to hurry
the work on the Indiana when she was
building the Cramps offered to undertake
TO build themselves some eight-inch gun
carriages. They had actually performed
some work on the carriages when they dis
covered that the Washington navy yard
was better supplied with the necessities for
the work than their own shops, so the car
riages were shipped over here. For COM
pleting the carriages the Cramps were to
have received S1f 900. As a matter of fact
they did not receive one cent, but actually
lost the amount they had expended on the
preliminary work.
IOuchlng the MaXlm-NO Ordentelt contract,
the explanation afforded at the department
is that when the guns were required il
was found that there was no establishment
in this country able or willing to under
take their manufacture. Yet the law re-
quired that they should be Of domestic
manufacture. So an agreement was made
by the government with the company to do
this work at the Washington navy yard.
The company was to furnish all the ma
terials, and to that was to be added first
the cost of the labor and then 100 per cent
additional.
The contract price to be paid by the gov
ernment for the guns was to be S2,315 each.
The aggregate of the items named, ma
terial labor cost, and 100 per cent addi-
tional, was to be compared with this figure
-S2,315-and If there was any balance it
was to be paid over to the company. The
naval officials are confident that the gov
ernment has been gamer by the contract,
and they are certain that they have Sc
cured the guns at d figure actually lower
than is possible anywhere else in the world.

ILLEGAL STRINGING OF WIRES.
Action Taken Upon Complaint of Mr..
II. w. NcPhersOn.

Mr.. Robert W. Mcpherson of 1910 10Th
street complained recently to the District
Commissioners that an electric wire had
ing owned by him q few doors away with
out his consent. He stated that he gave no
one permission to place the wire there, and
entered vigorous protest against such an
unwarranted trespass on his property.
1T is" he wrote, wholly unjustifiable
for the employees of these corporations to go
through the city and enter upon private
property, walking on the roofs and utiliz-
ing them by driving nails into the tin or
slate, and this without asking permission
of the owners"
Mr.. McPhercon subsequently stated to the
Commissioners that he had discovered that
the wire was erected by the Mutual Dis
tr1ct Messenger Company, the manager of
which sent a man, who took il down and
explained that an employe of his company
had placed it in the absence of Instructions
Nevertheless the Commissioners caused an
investigation of the matter.
In forwarding a report on the subject Cap
tain Beach. the Engineer Commissioner
stated to his associates that the complaint
made by Mr.. Mcpherson is only one of a
class constantly occurring.
The action heretofore taken by the Of
hce," said Captain Beach, appears to be
entirely inadequate to prevent the Illegal
Stringing of wires across any public street
or alley by the Mutual District Messenger
Company. l would therefore recommend
that the electrical engineer be authorized
and directed to promptly and Immediately
strung without authority across a street or
alley.'

TROUBLE IN JURY ROOM.
Contention Over Verdict in Trial of
Smith for Murder.

The disagreement of the jury in the case
of Edward Smith, charged with the murder
of Edmonia Jackson, was the subject of a
great deal of comment today about the city
hall, as well the source of considerable dis
appointment to the district attorneys office
The jurymen concurred that the accused
was guilty, but two of them stood out
against the imposition of the death pen
atty.
The murder of Edmonia Jackson by
Smith, he having been convicted of the
crime last February, was one of the most
brutal in the annals of the District of Co.
lumbia The question has been raised of
the advisability of urging Congress to re-
peal the law making disagreements of
juries, such as that in the Smith case, pos
sible
Matters were rather lively in the Jury
room at times during the consideration of a
verdict, it is learned from a member of
that body. 1t was the colored jurors it is
reported, who insisted that the punish
ment should not be death 1t is further
stated that during the discussion one of the
colored Jurors took occasion to remark that
most of the members of the jury. IL they
had their just deserts. would be in the peni-
tentiary themselves. From all accounts
trouble of a serious nature was with diffi-
Guilty averted.

TIMBER DRY DOCKS.
Commodore Endjcotf Reports Against
Their Construction

Commodore, Endioott, chief of the bureau
of yards andahocks, has made a report to
the Secretary Of the9' Navy. in regard to dry
docks, in which he takes strong grounds
against the construction of timber dry
docks and. argues in favor of masonry
docks, which, he claims, have many ad-
vantages over the wooden docks, especially
in the important particular, of stability
After making a general review of the sub
ject Chief Endicott concludes his report as
follows:
lin consideration of all the circumstances,
the bureau has thought it to be it's duty at
this particular time when it has been
found possible to contract for the construc-
ton of a tlrst-claSs concrete and stone dry
dock OF the largest size for about 81 000. 600
and when the department is about to enter
upon the construction of three timber dry
docks, at limit of cost for each Of 81
$4,000 to urge that the matter be pre-
sented for the consideration of Congress
with the departments earnest request that
the law be changed to allow the construc
ton of three dry docks of stone, OF con-
crete and stone, of the largest size, at a
limit of cost of s1,100,00o each. in lieu of the
three to be of timber, as. provided for by
the act approved May 4. 1885,
A copy OF this report has been referred to

DIR. SHRADY on EMBALhED BEEF.
declares the Use of Chemicals in
Food is Dangerous.

Under the title " 'Embalmed Beef as an
Army Ration" DR.. George f. Shrady dis
cusses in the Medical Record the recent
disclosures concerning the food fufmsheo
to our soldiers. The transportation OF peeI
on the hoof, he says, was not attempted
refrigeration was impracticable and canned
goods were so imperfectly prepared that
when unpacked they We're found IN most
instances TO be far advanced III rotten
ness" Continuing, Dr.. Shrady says:
Worse than all, however was the un-
warrantable experiment Of adding chemi-
Gals in the shape of boracic and salicylic
acids to prevent decomposition. The over
whelming testimony of such as used the
'enbalmed" beef is to the effect that it
was offensive to sight. smell and taste, was
to the last degree unappetizing and un-
wholesome, and that in very many in
stances it produced many OF the digestive
troubles which SO largely prevailed among
the soldiers.
The latter state of affairs can be easily
explained by the ingestion of the toxins
of decCmposing animal food on the one
hand and the constant admiXture of chem
ical products with the food in question on
the other. AS there is no proof to show
that boracic and salicylic acids are abso-
lutte preservatives, 1t is fair to presume
that the ''embalmed'' beef was not only
more or less decomposed, but was artificial
ly ''doctored" besides. Thus the two con-
ditions were combined to make the men
sick.
Aside from the reprehensible practice Of
adding chemicals of any kind to food
there is a positive danger in so doing of
slowly poisoning the unsuspecting victim
Theoretically, we may assume that either
of the acids mentioned may not be used fn
sufficient quantities in any given case to
produce Immediately deleterious effects, but
practically we must conclude that their
continued use must be necessarily fraught
with harm in interfering with digestion,
in arresting proper nutriment in complicat-
ing secretion, and eventually in irritating
the entire intestinal tract.
Deaths have occurred from overdoses of
both these drugs, and why should not
smaller quantities long continued have a
like effect? The contractors are willing
however, to infict these risks on the mere
reports of some analy teal chemists who
are seemingly paid in advance for favora-
BILE opinions regarding the actual health
fulness of these abominable adulterations.
The chemist, expert as he may be in the
processes of analysis is not proper judge
of the physiological action of drugs.
I'm any event. adds DR.. Shrady, "a prop
er public sentiment will be created against
the general principle of adulteration by
facts which will be brought out in the inn
pending investigation. Morally and scien-
tifically any form of food adulteration is
always wrong, and the sooner the guilty
jobbers can learn this the better"
