the Chicago packers did not chemically
embalm any beef:
That the packers did not influence the
commissaries in their purchases:
That the packers complied with their
contracts with the government:
That the principal fault connected with
the beef scandal rested with the rsgimental
commissar;es. ard with the cooks who did
not know how to prepare the canned beef
after II was received.
In addition to these findings It has been
shown that some of the canned beef was

that the Spanish government has abandon

Rumors at the Yards.
The statement was made at the stock
Yards yesterday that the defense was max
ing every effort to secure witnesses to bear
out the charges of General Miles. 1t is
alleged that an effort will be made to prove
that a certain local packing concern has
refused to purchase any ''lumpy jawed"
cattle during the last few weeks. and that
this action on the part of the packer was
for the purpose of having all slaughtered
animals come up to the highest standard
The packers say that such statements are
malicious and have no foundation In fact.
There was another rumor at the stock
yards to the effect that the friends OF
General Miles hero are making an effort
to induce former employe of one of the
packing houses to swear that he assisted
in the work Of removing condemned car
casses from the rendering watts after the
government inspectors had left. II any
such testimony is introduced. the packers
say they will have no difficulty in reful-
Ing II.
Both sides were busy yesterday in secur-
ing witnesses. and 1t is known that the
battle will be as bitterly waged in this
city as 1t was in Chicago. The statement
was made in a Chicago paper that no testi-
mony will be introduced while the board
is in session here. This statement is de-
MED by the local packers. One of the OFF,
cials at packing house said yesterday:
Il am quite certain that the court will
call for testimony here. In fact. the de-
fense is preparing to secure witnesses al
ready. I am informed that the board will
make a tour OF the packing houses and
will return to their hotel. where they will
sit in session and will hear testimony"
The board is scheduled to return to Chi
cago on next Tuesday. but it is not abso-
lutely necessary that the sessions be re-
sumed in Chicago on that date. A thor
ough investigation will be made while the
court is in this city. 1t is not probable
that the court will complete its labors un-
til the latter part of next month, for 1t is
the present intention to visit New York and
washington. where much additional tes-
timony will b heard.
