their fare and expenses paid from
San Francisco home as are the ones

GOES AGAINST MILES.
Board of Inquiry Finds His Charges
Net Sustained.

Washington, May = The Wade
court of inquiry concluded its work in
Gen. Miles concerning the beef sup
piled to the army during the war
with Spain. The report was signed
by every member of the board and is
now in the hands of the president.
The report is of about thirty thou
sand words and goes fully into the
questions which have been raised in
connection with the army beef. The
text has not been made public and
Will not he until after the president
shall have read it.
The verdict, however. is known to
be that the charge which Gen. Miles
made before the war investigation
commission is not sustained as re-
CARDS the refrigerated beef, although
his contention that the canned roast
beef was not a suitable continuous
ration is admitted. There is direct
criticism of Gen. Miles for failing TO
promptly bring to the attention of the
war department the reports made to
him concerning bad beef, and several
individuals are censured for failing to
observe the proprieties of their posi-
ton as commanding officers in this
aid other respects.

A member OF a Canadian school

A member OF a Canadian school
misappropriated a bottle of ink. The
city clerk of the municipality where
the wrong-doing occurred lately ire
ceived five cents from Chicago in pay
ment for the property thus converted
to the pupils use. Repentance and
restoration may find a full illustration,
even though the value represented is
only a trife. There Is no moral law
which declares that sins against hon.
esty do not count unless the sum in
volved is over one dollar. The steal
ing of a penny disturbs the ethical
equilibrium as surely as the stealing
that opens prison doors to the reck-
less thief.
