BEEF MAY REACH CONGRESS

quiry Courts Report.
TAKE EXCEPTIONS TOFiNDlNGS


WAsHIsoroN, May General Miles
friends express much dissatisfaction
over the reported finding OF the Wade
court OF inquiry. They take especial
exception to the fact that while the
court docs not recommend that fur
Their proceedings be taken, IL declares
that General Miles allegations with
respect to chemicalized beef were uu-
founded, but s~ustains his contention
that the canned beef was not a suita-
BILE continuous ration for issue.
The board directly criticises Gen
eral Miles for falling TO promptly 10.
tify the war department OF reports OF
bad beef, and General Breckenridge
comes In for similar criticism. En-
balmed beef" charges are held not to
have been proven. 1t is also held that
the use of beet herds in the Santiago
campaign was impracticable.
The board says nothing about fur.
Their action and leaves the assumption
that the entire matter Is to rest with
q criticism OF Miles and n few other
officers who complained. This Is just
what arouses Miles friends. who look
upon IL as the boards dca OF the
easiest manner of letting a disagree
able affair die. The criticism
Of the general for not reporting
to the department the complaints
made respecting the beef has arouscd
n spirit Of resentment and there is
renewed talk among his friends of the
ndvisalility OF his urging a congress
sioual investigation. II is pointed
out that the mex house is Republican
by only a very small majority and
that as the Democrats and PopuIists
NAV be expected to vote together for
an investigation into the entire beet

BEEF REPORT IS m.
Miles and Other Officers Arc Severely
Criticised.

WASHINGTON, May 2.--Thc Wade
court Of inquiry has concluded its
work in connection with the allcga.
tons Of General Miles concerning the
beef supplied to the army during the
war with Spain
The verdict is that the charges
which General Miles made before the
war investigating commission are not
sustained in reference to the refriger-
ating beef, although his contention
that the canned roast beef was not n
suitable continuous ration is Submitted.
The court finds the charges OF EN-
balming" the fresh beef to have been
unsubs taniiated by testimony, and
says no chemicals were used to pre-
serve 1t. 1t also finds that it would
have been impracticablc to secure beef
on the hoof for the Cuban campaign.
The finding Is likewise in opposition
to the assertion that the use Of the
beef was an experiment.
The fact Is set forth that the canned
roast beef had not been used to any
appreciate extent before the begin
ming OF this war and it is therefore
regarded as o practically untried ra.
ton. In view of this fact, the COM
missary general OF subsistence Is
rouudly criticised for the purchase Of
the meat in such extensive quantities.
Accordingly the court finds that the
meat was not ''~doctored:" that IL was
the beef Of commerce.; that there was
no more neglect than was incident to
the. hurried preparation for the war;
that the inspection, while generally
according to regulations, was not al
ways up TO tbs requirements and that
the sickness OF the troops was not to
NY great degree occasioned by the
use OF either the canned or the refrig-
Grated beef.
On the other hand, it is found that
Geaeral Miles himself did not report
during the war that the beef, either
refrigerated or canned, was unft as n
ration. Other officers who gave their
testimony before the court wcr, found
also to have neglected what the court
conc,ivcs to have been their dhty in
this respect, and all are blamed for
this failure.
But the court does not think further
proceedings necessary.

He was asked IL Senator Mcmillan had

CRY DOUBLE TAX.
hss York Corporations to Fight ths
Ford BILL

New YORK, May 2.-IIad a bomb
shell burst in their offices the corpor-
atoms holding public franchises could
not have been more surprised than
they were at the passage Of the Ford
bill, under which franchises will be
taxed as real estate. They had re-
ceived assurances and had taken
measures which they were confident
would kill the bill. Governor Roose.
welt has announced that he will sign
the bill Monday or Tuesday.
While the officials OF none of the
corporations would discuss their plans
or give any opinion in regard to the
coming law, IT is regarded as certain
that it will be bitterly fought in the
courts, on the ground that it taxes the
same value twicc-onc e as real estate
in the shape Of the franchise and once
as personal property in the shape Of
stocks and bonds.
