TREATED LIKE CADAYERS.
A Pennsylvania Undertaken Gives Pointed
Testimony Before the Roast Beef
INQUIRY Board.

Washington April 13.-Before the
Wade court Of inquiry today Rudolph
X. Spicer, funeral director of Harris
burg, Pa, testified he was a member of
the Fourth Pennsylvania regiment and
served in Puerto Rico. He noticed
crystalline scales on the meat, generally
in the joints. 1t occurred to him then
that some article like soda or boracic
acid had been used on the meat, such
as embalmers use on human bodies.
This meat made him sick. Spicer found
the canned roast beef Shiny and disa-
greeable, so that much had been thrown
away. The official report of DR.. H. A.
Bigelow of the agricultural department,
selected to make an investigation of the
canned roast beef, was then submitted.
Bigelow thought the canned beef the
most appropriate food for the tropics.
He found no evidence of preservatives
in either refrigerator or canned roast
beef

German Commission to Sail

Berlin, April 13--The United States
embassy today gave the correspondent
of the Associated Press the following
statement: I'VE have received from the
foreign office an account Of the latest
conflict at Samoa. The German govern
ment expressed sympathy and took oc-
casion to urge the adoption in unanimi-
ty of rule in the findings of the Samoa
commission in order that the German
commissioner, Baron Won Sternberg,
might sail for Samoa at the earliest mo-
ment possible.
German government urged that only
the early arrival of this commission will
prevent further serious bloodshed. This
morning Baron Won Buelow informed
the American ambassador that Great
Britain had at last agreed to a unanimi-
ty rule. The United. States also agreed
to it, and the commission can probably
proceed to the islands without delay.

Admiral Kautx Upheld.

Washington, April 49, = Admiral
Kautzs actions at Samoa, as far as
have been set forth in the official dis
patches, are approved. He was in
structed by the last mail steamer from
Auckland to avoid needless collisions,
but to protect property and life until
the three treaty powers decided how to
deal with the situation. The admiral
appears to have acted in conjunction
with the British forces only in pursu-
ance of policy of defense Of foreign
interests. The commissioners are not
likely to start from San Francisco on
the steamer Of the 18th instant, as in
structions to the members have not
been impaired.

Agreed on Plan of Identification

Philadelphia. April 13.--Counsel on
both sides of the Quay case informed
Judge Biddle this morning that they
had agreed on plan regarding the
Identification of entries in the bank
books which would save considerable
time. In pursuance of this all the books
We're brought into court.
Several bank bookkeepers testified re-
garding the books. So far as they knew
Quay had an account but not a deposit
book,
a. l., Tabor receiving teller of the
bank, testified to the period in which
he made entries in the bank books. He
said he had known Cashier Hopkins to
make entries in the books. During the
examination of this witness it was de-
veloped that counsel on both sides
agreed to abide by testimony as to the
periods covered in the books instead of
personal Identification of the entries
themselves. 1t was evident from the
district attorneys question that he was
leading to a connection between the
red book" which has not yet been ad-
mitted, and the books Of the bank.
Counsel for the defense fought every
question leading in this direction.

WAYAAYING
THE MINERS
Stopped on Highways and Robbed of
Their Earnings.
TWO VICTIMS THIS MORNING
Held Up at the Muzzles Of Bevolvers by
Three Unknown Men While on Their
Way Home From Work Sixty
Dollars and a Watch Taken.

Recent experiences Of miners on the roads
and pathways between this town and the
colieries in the Gilberton valley aud ELAN
gowan district have brought wildly to mind
recolections Of tho days Of stage coach rob
berries, when men with drawn revOlvers, in
matter of course sort Of way, held up pas
sengers and relieved them Of their. valuables
with as much courtesy as circumstances
would permit. The only difference between
the old style of hold ups and the system
now in vogue in this vicinity is that in the
latter the highwaymen make no pretension
to courtesy or delicaoy OF action. They en-
joy the same freedom and meet with the same
success as their western antecedents, and
none have thus far fallen into the hands of
the law
The latest case reported WAS a robbery near
Turkey Run, between 12 and 1 o'clock this
morning The victims were Stiney Gelinski
and Joe Karnick, Lithuanian residents of
town. They were on their way home after
night shift at the Boston Run colliery Be-
fore entering upon the shift each man drew
his semi-monthly pay of $50 and they carried
the money in their pockets when homeward
bound. They followed a foot path which
crosses the mountain near Turkey Run and
had just passed over the summit when three
unknown men having the appearance of
tramps, suddenly confronted them. Two Of
the strangers drew revolvers and thrust the
muzzle close to the faces Of their victims.
at the same time demanding their money.
The two miHers offered no resistance aud the
third stranger proceeded to rifle their pockets.
He secured the sixty dollars, and also silver
watch belonging to Geinski. After the
robbery the miners were ordered to proceed
on their way, winch they did. They say
thew do not know which direction the
robbers took. Threats caused them to hurry
homeward and not become inquisitive about
the movements of the Others
Gelinski and Karnick made complaint to
Chief Burgess Tabor upon their arrival here
and the official promised to do what he could
for them but it is believed it will require
systematic work to break up the gang which
has so successfully operated on hardworking
men whose movements are closely watched

Fitzsimmons Must Now Consider the

Fitzsimmons Must Now Consider the
Claims of the Sailor PugiIIst.
New York, Jan. 11.-Tom Sharkey
the American sailor, stands the only
heavyweight possibility for champion
ship honors and the title now held by
Bob Fitzsimmons. He whipped Kid
Mccoy good and hard in the tenth
round of what was to have been a 20
round battle, and by doing so the
Irish-American pugilist forged his way
so positively und undeniably to the
front rank that Fitzsimmons must now
consider the sailor pugilist's claim
without delay.
Sharkey last night was a revelation
to those who saw him a couple of years
ago. His ring work and generalship
are so vastly superior to his exhibi-
tions when he first came to the east
as a fighter that the improvement is
almost incredible. Great punches of
muscle, with unlimited confidence and
a cool head, are the qualifications which
have enabled Sharkey to fight his way
to the front.
Mccoy used every artifice known TO
the advanced school Of pugilism In last
nights contest and his defeat must
not be attributed TO any lack Of close
study on his part of every trick in the
boxing game. Many of his friends feel
that he ought to have gone up against
smaller game than Sharkey
When Mccoy sent Sharkey twice to
the floor in the third round. no one
doubted the KIDS ability to hit hard,
and many thought that ne had Sharkey
at his mercy, This Idea was soon dis
PEELED when the Irishman began to get
to his man,

that the national officers had used their
influence in favor OF certain candidates
for office and that the funds OF the
miners had been used for electloneerlng
purposes. He said that he would make
these charges in writing and was pre-
pared to prove all his allegations.
Acting President Mitchell said the
charges were made without proofs,
and denied that the organization has
been used in his behalf. The charges,
he said, were unmanly. President Ryan.

offering to donate 500 to the organiza-
ton if the charges were proved.
