THE BEEF COURTS REPORT.
Suggcstion Made That 1t May Never
He Put in Print.

ne ut
The full report OF the Beef Court OF En-
quiry may not be printed. This sugges-
ton has been made in view of the cessa-
tion of work on the report OF the War In
yestigation Commission. 1t was given out
yesterday that the reason for stopping
work on the report of the War Inyestiga-
tion Commission was shortage Of funds.
That Commission expended nearly 5000, 900
and it is said that $25, 900 would have to
be paid for the printing and binding Of the
report. The composition has been COM
pleted and the reading of the corrected
proofs has been finished.
II is said by army officers that the tsop-
page OF work on the report at this time
is significant. 1t is suggested that the Ad-
ministration, after giving all possible pub
licity to the conclusion of the Commission.
should also give publicity to the evidence
on which those conclusions were based.
In view of the fact that work on one re-
port has been stopped under an order
from the War Department. and which order
must have come from the Secretary OF
War. it is considered to be fair presump-
tion that the report of the Beef Court of
Enquiry will never be printed, and that no
further publicity will ever be given to the
evidence and exhibits which came before
that court.
When the findings OF the Beef Court were
reached. they were embodied in general CT
der No. 81 and sent to every military post
under the American flag. One of the con-
clusions of the Court was that the so-called
refrigerated beef was good. 1t Is extreme
ly improbable, it is said, that, having cir
culated the findings of the Beef Court, the
War Department will also circulate the
evidence and reports of officers on which
the findings should have been based.

SEVEN sANCTIFIED SISTERS.
Said to Keep the Rest Hotel in the
State of Texas.
(From the Chicago Record)

tfToifl tisc htttIu.l
They say that the best hotel in Texas is
to be found at Belton, town on the Santa
Fe road and it is kept by seven sanctihed
sisters" as the proprietors are popularity
called.
Several years ago woman in that place
and her husband quarreled over the best
way of expounding the Scriptures to
Sunday school class. and were so stub
born that they separated and were finally
divorced. This family controversy vas
taken up by the town, which was soon dis
tinctly divided between the adherents OF
the husband and the adherents of the wife.
The result was large crop of divorces.
and seven husbandless women. including
the original cause of the commotion,
Joined together and rented the town hotel
One of them did the cooking. another was
parlor maid. third made up the beds.
and so they divided the work among them
and ran the establishment upon the CO.
operative plan. They would not employ
man about the place, although the most
OF their patrons were men. Of course
People say that women travellers preferred
to stop elsewhere. and that would be a
womaus way. One of the seven sancti-
fed sisters used to drive big carryall
down to the railway station three or four
times a day to meet the trains. but she let
the regular transfer company handle the
baggage.
The hotel prospered from, the beginning.
and there was no reason why it shoIld
not, for everything was neat and home
like and the cooking was the best in T xas.
which is not saying much. perhaps but is
good reason why it was appreciated.
Every Sunday it was crowded. The drum
mers used to swarm there from all the
northern central part of the State. and
every passenger on the Santa Fe trains
was an advertising agent. The salctifei
sisters" made money. as they deserved to
do; they enlarged their establishment. AMI
started big laundry in connection with
it. where the drummers left their soilei
clothes to be done up while they were
cut during the week. Then the sisters"
bought a hotel at Waco. and started
laundry there. with equal success. AMI now
they are talking of starting one in New

She has superstitious belief that IL he Is
not killed she will suffer from hydrophobia.
When Justice Potts heard Mrs Hay
story he ordered that the dog be killed and
that Mrs. Hay might be present when he
was shot. All the arrangements for the
execution were made when Lawyer Peshall
came hurriedly into court yesterday after
noon.
"One moment" he said. 'I protest
against the killing of the dog" He raised
the constitutional point that the Justice
had no right to order the dog executed.
Justice Potts wanted to know IL Mrs.
Hay would be satisfied if the dog was
sent out of the city. Mrs. Hay wouldn't.
She would not feel safe until she saw the
dog killed.
"If you had a pet you would not want
to have it killed, would you?' asked the
justice.
II have no pets except my husband and
children replied Mrs. Hay.
Mr.. Peshall insisted that the court had
no Jurisdiction over life and death. He
declared that he felt it as much his duty
to fight for the life of the dumb brute as
he would for that of man unjustiy ac-

MURDER CASE AT SANTA FE.
Probability That the Crime Wa
Committed With n Cleaver.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, May 27.-The hearing
of the habeas corpus application Of Walter
E Locke yesterday developed strong evil
dence of the murder of Frederick Merrill.
OF Sterling. ILL.,. by the use Of hatchet or
a cleaver. 1t was shown that five or six
blows had been struck, that broke the
skull into sixteen pieces. Evidence that
Merrill had been discharged by Locke was
not admitted by Judge McFie. although it
would have shown that Merrill and Locke
had misunderstanding. The case hangs
upon an alleged. statement that Merrill had
gone away. telling of his intention to COM
nit suicide. 1t is asserted that Locke
wrote it. Experts will be called to testify,
as well as four physicians.
Three po5t-mortem examinations have
been held. and the physicians disagree
over the question how Merrill came to his
death, whether by a bullet fired out of
the revolver that was found in his hand or
by a cleaver that it is known Locke pos
sessed. and Of which no trace has as yet
been found.

ha1lnH Gas.
New York, May GA recollection of the
Seeley dinner ran along the Rialto yester-
day, with the news that Kathleen Warren.
the soubrette, had tried to end her life. The
Young woman all but succeeded. She IL
now at the brink OF death, a prisoner In
the New York Hospital.
Miss Warren came here from Philadel-
phia few years ago. and sought employ
ment on the stage. She had no experience
or training, but this falling was more or
less made up for by sprightly manner
and fair share Of good looks. The best
she could do. however. was soubrette's
part and although she did this very well,
she appeared to be dissatisfied.
At the Seeley dinner she appeared with
some success. but afterward the notoriety
vexed her sorely. After playing with Dix
ey. May Irwin, and in the round Of vaude-
Vile shows this season, Miss Warren went
10 San Francisco. and a month ago re-
turned to New York. She took rooms at
No. 5s West Thirty-fifth Street. Her
friends noted that she was dispirited and
i'll, but none suspected her intention
About noon yesterday Miss Warren rang
for a messenger, sent a note to the Lambs
Club. and then locked her door. Two
hours later. Nine. Kubanyi, the landlady.
detected the odor of gas coming from Miss
warrens room. She tried the door, and,
finding it locked. sent for a policeman.
When the door was broken in. Miss War
ren was found lying on the bed, with her
hands crossed upon her breast, clasping
spray OF forget -me-nots. She was uncon-
scious. Every gas jet in the room was
turned on full. On the table were two let
ters. one addressed to her mother, Mrs S.
Flood. OF No. 2033 South Galdy Street, Phil
adelpha: the other TO Mrs Robinson, No.

ter read:

ful if Miss Warren will recover.

interests OF the complainant, Emily A.

is due the complainant on account of bills
paid by her for improvements upon the
house and funeral expenses of the late
T. d. Prior. but as the property is said to
be incapable OF being dirided in kind. the
court is asked to decree sale, appoint
trustees TO convey title. and have an &C.
counting made for the purpose of deter
mining to what each may be entitled.
