is baply needed and il the county has
no authority to build it, a Legislative

BEEF INVESTIGATION.
Testimony Given Favorable to the Adj
ministration. >.

Washington. March 1.-The court of IN
qury into the beef charges held a long
session today examining officers and en-
listed men and representatives of western
meat firms. The meat packers representa-
tives gave practically the same testimony
they had previously presented to the war
investigating commission, but 1t Is under
stood that this is only to get their state
ment on the court record and that their
examination today would be followed by
much more detailed examination into
specific incidents connected with meat fur
nished to Cuba and Porto Rico during the
war. 'i'-'..
Colonel Gallagher of the subsistence de-
partment who was field commissary at
General Skaters headquarters outside
Santiago testified that when the army
movSd into Santiago he began the issue
of refrigerator beef. The beef issued at
Santiago was as good as he had ever seen
before. He had no reason to believe that
any of the refrigerator beef he had seen
had been chmicaIly treated in any way
Arthur Meeker, general manager for Ar
mour d Co., described in a general way and
at length the process of purchasing, slaugh-
tering and packing meats prepared by his
firm Mr. Meeker said his house had been
furnishing dressed beef to the United
States army posts for seven or eight years
past. During the Spanish war they had
furnished the government about 1000 900
pounds.
Colonel Davis then turned to the chemical
phase of the inquiry and asked: What
agent do you depend on for the preserva-
ton of dressed beef?'

FLORIDA CENTRAL SAID
TO HAVE BEEN BOUGHT
By the Syndicate Which Now Controls the
Georgia g. Alabama and Seaboard Air
Line-Building Powerful System.

One of the latest rumors in the railroad
world, one which comes from New York,
is to the effect that the syndicate of cap
italists headed by John Shelton Williams,
and popularity known as the Richmond
syndicate" has just secured control of the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroad
and will soon begin operating that road.
In these days of countless railroad ru-,
mors, this report like all others, can only
be verified by time But certain 1t is that
the Florida Central would be a most valu-l
able road to the Richmond syndicate.
This syndicate, it will be remembered
consists mostly of the men who formerly
controlled the Georgia and Alabama rail-
road. Mr. Williams was the president Of
this road, and with him at their head his
crowd only month or two ago secured,
control of the Seaboard Air Line, and
elected Williams president of the two roads,
If the report is true that they have the!
Florida Central, the syndicate will have OBJ
tanned system of roads which will be a.
most important factor in southern railroad,

The Florida Central and Peninsular runs
south from Columbia, s. c., through -Sa-f
vannah and Jacksonville to Tampa, and Is
the Plant systems chief competitor for

has no line running into Florida, but in the
past they have had excellent traffic ar,
engagements with the Florida Central
whereby the Southerns trains from the
north were run on through over the Flori-
da Centrals line to Tampa.
But If the Richmond syndicate has se-
cured the Florida Central, this will cut the
Southern off from any Florida line, and in
stead win give the syndicate people almost

~THE PLAYS


The blood-stained swords of the houses of
Capulet and Montague were drawn again,
and the woes of Romeo and Juliet were
. again rehearsed in O'Brien's theater last
night before an audience that learned I'd
appreciate the immortal lines as they had
never perhaps appreciated them before.
R. d. Mclean was an almost Ideal lover.
He is graceful, and his rich voice and ma
= tural manner shone to advantage last night.
He copies nobody. His Romeo is his own,
and his reading of the undying lines is
never lacking in dignity, nor in ease and
naturalness.
Chas. b. Hanford, as Mercutio, presented
the great bard's words in the old-time
manner; and this, perhaps made Mr.. Mo-
Leans readings all the more effective. And
yet Mr.. Hanford was by no means an UNI
satisfactory Mercutio.
Miss Odette Tyler did excellently well in
the balcony scene, but when she drank the
compound furnished by the monk she
lacked strength she was hysterical rather
than strong, and at times her lines were
not rendered with the dignity that should
attend the tell ng of tragIcal story. But
prettier Juliet it would be difficult to
lind, ana ottentimes She was in the arms Of
Romeo d beautiful picture.
The other parts were well presented, and
the entire play was handsomely staged, ev-
cry portion being brought out with good
effect and to the satisfaction of the audi
ence. All in all the first Shakespearian
ght was u treat to all who were fortunate
enough TO be present, and who were not
upset by the slight panic caused by an
alarm of fire across the street. The noise
of the pumps mingled with the sobs of
the dying lovers at the tomb of the Cap
ulets. Fact and fiction were thus inter-
mingled.
Joe OFT is Looking for Trouble this
season. Not the real trouble" but lots of
trouble In getting house large enough to

play is described as up-to-date farce
comedy with the side-splitting ear-marks.
He is surrounded by capable company
of fun makers.
