roast beef he knew was a part of those ra-
tons On July % Major Smith was as
signed to the Commissary Department. u,
to that time. he said he had never heard
any complaints concerning the quality of
beef supplied. After July % he had charge
of the issuance of refrigerated beef and
issued -. 900 pounds day up to July 81
Every morning he superintehded the trans
fer of beef from the ships Mississippi and
Port Victor. Fine beef. excellent beef
large in size of quarters, covered with
muslin. and always in perfect preserva-
ti0n. were the words OF the major. Never
had he heard complaints. official or other
wise against the refrigerated beef. He
had seen no sign of chemicals used for pres
ervation. and there was no taint. no de-
composition; nor had he ever heard com
plant against the canned ratOns.
During the session Major Lee attempted
10 examine DIR. W s. Devoa. Government
Inspector at the Stock Yards, of the Old
packing house scandal which was investi-
gated by the Agricultural Department
some years ago. He asked the witness
about the double bottomed tanks said o
have been in use to allow diseased cattle
to be packed. Colonel Davis objected 10
this. and was sustained by General Ware
Objections were also made and sustained
when Major Lee began to enquire about
the Bowel process of meat preservation,
experimental with at Tampa. Chief Gov
ernment Meat Inspector w. a. Bruct e,
Assistant Inspector Paxton, and Neteri-
nary Inspector Casper, Of the Stock Yards,
were examined during the afternoon. All
agreed in testifying that no diseased beef
was canned or sold by Chicago packers.
Beef used for canning purposes was OF
good quality. Each of the witnesses d.
clared that he did not believe chem'ciis
were ever used in treating refrigerated
beef.
Major Lee has about twenty more wit
nesses to examine and it is thought he
will bring out some testimony damaging
to the Chicago packers. The investigation
here will probably be finished early next
week. and the Board will then go 10 ON
aha and thence to Kansas City.

the season started early today and is still
raging throughout Nebraska tonight. Great
quantities of snow have fallen, which has
been piled into enormous drifts by the
high wind accompanying the snowfall
For several hours this afternoon street

seriously interfered with. No trains were
on time this evening and reports from
the interior of the State showed everything
very much delayed.
Topeka. Kan, March ia binding

The storm is the most severe of the win

Barns, stock sheds, and outbuildings were
leveled TO the ground, and many houses
were shaken from their foundations.
Oklahoma City, Okla. March 11.-A ter
rife windstorm visited this place today,
coming from the southwest. For half an
hour it blew a perfect gale. Nearly one
hundred houses were blown down. The

KEPT ALIVE BY ONE NERVE.
Woman LinEers ia Hospital With
u Broken Neck.

New York. March 11.-Mrs. Mary Tirk-
ington, whose neck is broken. is kept alive
by single nerve. 1t is only a question OF
time, the physicians say. when the matter
in the woman's paralyzed backbone will
degenerate, destroy the nerve and cause
death The physicians at the Harlem Hos
pital. where the woman is lying, do not
hope to save her life. for her only chance
is in an operation difficult and SO deli
cate that woman of her age could never
stand it. She is fifty mine Years old In
her plight the faculty OF speech is unim-
paired.
Mrs. Tirkington was a servant at No.
10 East 105th Street She was manipulat-
ing pulley used in hanging out clothes.
when she slipped from the second story
platform OF the fire escape, striking on her
head and breaking her neck. She was
taken to the Harlem Hospital.
DR.. Schoonover, the house surgeon, found
the FIFTH cervical vertebra was fractured
The woman was paraiyzed from neck to
toes. To test her ssnsibility u needle was
stuck into the skin of her hand. She show
ed no sign of feeling it. Everything that
surgery could do for her was done She
knew it. She told the physicians that she
understood they We're doing their best but
as mercy she begged TO be permitted to
die.
Mrs. Tirkington was lying upon a rubber
mattress filed with water when seen.

Had the fourth cervical vertebra been

would have been dead long ago. Yesterday
she was alive because the phrenic nerve,
which comes from the spinal column at the
fourth cervical vertebra, was keeping her
dfaphram moving. The up and down move
ment of the daphram pressed the lungs
and enabled her to breathe. The heart was
acting because the nerves which keep it
up come direct from the skull. from the
medulla oblongata and not from the spine.
The woman was breathing just enough TO
keep alive. The degeneration of the spl

GREEK LEPER SELLING CANDY.
Disensc-Stricken Peddler in the
Streets of New York.

New York, March IA young Greek.
selling candy at the corner of the tive most
crowded streets in Newark yesterday. His
hands were gloved.
There is nothing about this fact, how
ever, to frighten anyone in Newark or
elsewhere. Leprosy is communicable from
man to man. but only by long and close
association. But the Creeks capture may
interfere with the trade of those descend
ants of Agamemnon and Achilles who sell
sweetmeats on the streets.
B. X. MospouIOs, an inspector in the
barge office here, went to police headquart-
ers in Newark yesterday. He said he was
in search of a countryman OF his, twenty
years old, who on October "a last, escaped
from a hospital in New York. where he
had been isolated and had since been in
hiding.
Policeman Thomas CORDIALLY was detailed
to aid the inspector in his search. They
had gone no further than the intersection
of Broad and Market streets. when Mos
poulos saw the man he was after.
The fellow carried a big basketfu!l OF
candies. of one sort and another, which he
was peddling. Gloves covered his hands,
which is reinsurance for all who lately
bought candy at Broad and Market streets.
His face, according to Cordially. was
rather infiamed and marked Any physi
clan will tell you that the less rare form
Of leprosy is lepra cutanea, an affection OF
the skin in which the skin is marked with
uodules and cicatrices.
The Greek, whose name Mospou!os kept
to himself, recognized the inspector and
meekly surrendered. He was put aboard a
New Jersey Central train and Mospoulos
took him to New York. and, presumably,

The Newark police have it that he ar
