ONE by one every specification in
Gen. Miles charges about the beef
furnished the army is being substan-
tiated. George A. j. CAMPER, OF
Cincinnati. who was acting ommis-
sary of subsistence of the 1st volun-
teer cavalry. Col. Roosevelt's regi-
ment, testified before the court of
inquiry the other day as follows:
I'VE found the meat spoiled. An
agent of Armour & Co. appeared, and
we told him the beef was evidently
sour. We showed him the meat with
greenish discolorations on it. He
waived the matter aside, saying hat
its condition was due to a chemical
that was used on il to keep il the 60
hours required" The canned beef de-
tenders will not be likely to utilize
any of his testimony for advertising
purposes.

Driving preparations simply develor

Drying preparations simply develop
dry catarrh; they dry up the secre-
tons which adhere to the membrane
and decompOse, causing 4 far more
serious trouble than the ordinary
form of catarrh. Avoid all driving in
halants and use that which cleanses,
soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm
is such remedy, and will cure ca
tarrh or cold in the head easily and
pleasantly. A trial size will be

VIII BE Conyicted-Injured
by Falling Down Stairs.

Mr. Robert E. Smith. member of the I'd
Oregon Volunteers, and a son of Mr.. R. E.
Smith of 1907 p street. arrived day before
yesterday at San Francisco, with his reg
iment, after having participated in the
Philippine campaign. The voyage over
took twenty-eigh days, and there was very
little sickness on board. Yesterday made
exactly fourteen months since the voun-
teers of the regiment were sworn in and
twelve days after Private Smith enlisted
he was on his way to Manila. The I'd Ore
gon Volunteers, under Gen. Wheaton and
Gen. Lawton. were said to have been in
twenty-seven battles and skirmishes in
thirty-two days, and lost sixty-two men In
killed and ninety wounded. Private Smith
was with his regiment all of the time and
never lost day from sickness. The num-
Der killed represents those who died only in
action, and does not include the losses from
sickness, which were quite large.
Returned From Frederick.
Detective Frank Burrows and Policemen
Easley and Birkigt have returned from
Frederick, where they went to testify in
the murder case of Brown, who, with Arm
stead Taylor, was accused of numbering
the Rosenstein family several months ago.
Taylor, it will be remembered killed Sergt
Passau in Georgetown, while resisting ar
rest, and he was recently convicted of MUIR
dering one of the Rosensteins. The opinion
of the Georgetown police is that Brown will
not be convicted of murder, the jury pIac-
ing very little credence in the testimony of
Taylor.
Fell Down Stairs.
Capt Samuel A. Virgins, aged sixty
seven. an employe of the pension office,
who for several months past has been liv-
ing at "Fernwood," on the Pierce Mill road
was severely injured yesterday evening in
falling down flight of stairs in his house.
A big cash was cut in his forehead, and the
force of the fall rendered the man uncon-
scious for some hours afterward. He was
treated at his home by physician, and
later removed to the Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital, where he was placed in a
ward.

MANY COMPLAINTS UNFOUNDED.
Result of tile G. A. r.. Pension Com
mittee's Investigation.


The pension committee of the G. A. r. re-
turned to the pension bureau yesterday
afternoon, where it spent most of the after
noon talking oyer matters informally with
the commissioner. All the old soldiers and
soldiers widows employed in, the office were
called together totTmeet the committee.
Late in the afternoon final meeting of the
committee was held-in the hotel quarters,
wnen individual views and recommendations
were presenter and an informal consulta-
ton held as to, the nature of the report to
be made. This document will be presented
at the Philadelphia annual encampment of
the G. A. r. in September Pending the re-
port Colonel Johnson, the committees
spokesman, and his colleagues declined abb
solutely to discuss their work or the results
of their inquiry.
1t was admitted however, that much that
has been printed concerning the action Of
the bureau has been found untrue The ex-
animation on the file has shown a lack of
Foundation for many complaints that have
formed the basis of criticism. 1t was learn
ed before the committees departure that
when it arrived here 1t had memorandum
of about thirty cases in which the rulings
had been criticised. The papers in these
case We're sent for in regular order, and it
Is understood, disclosed substantially no
foundation for the attack on the official
action on them.
