ernment and the packers.
Mr. Simpson said that since that time
he had made bid, which had been
accepted, for supplying beef on the
block to the inland points in Cuba, ana
that he was now engaged in that work,
securing his cattle from Texas and
Venezuela. He also stated that he had
had considerable experience in shipping
beef abroad, and that refrigerated beef
generally brought about two cents per
pound less in the London market than
beef from the live cattle shipped over.
The witness old not believe it possible
to keep beef in good condition out Of
would change in appearance in two
hours and mould soon afterwards. He
| thought the proper way to supply beer
to the trops in Cuba was to have re-
! frigerated plants in the island, and kill
the beef there each day.
| Lieutenant W. B. Conrad of the
Twenty third Infantry, who had charge
| Of the cooking for the mess on the
! transport Indiana, said the refrigerator
beef had kept good for about two
weeks, but that after this time it be-
came SO badly tainted that the men
would not use it. The Indiana carried
fresh food supplies for Admiral Samp-
sons fleet, but much of them were
spoiled by the heat. Eight thousand
pounds were thrown overheard, but
| the remainder was issued to the fleet
though considerable of it was tainted.

FATAL DOSE OF POISON.
EMMA MOsHER KILLS HER
SELF BECAUSE OF A LETTER.
Despondent Over Mosher's Sem
tence For Long Term in
Folsom Prison.

A woman known as Emma Mosher,
who had been living with j. H. Mosher,
the Real Thing divekeeper, who was
yesterday sentenced to ten years Tor
grand larceny, last evening took poison
and died in less than an hour after be-
ing taken to the Receiving Hospital.
The woman had been living at 3O4la
l. street In her room was found the
following letter which had been placed
behind a portrait and the latter turned
to the wall. It was doubtless the cause
Of the woman's act The letter reads
Dear Emma: 1 got my sentence this

| The woman, according to her assocl-
ates, had been respondent ever since
Mosher's arrest, and had frequently
asserted that if he received long SEN
tence she would kill herself. She had
also been drinking rather heavily OF
| late, and the receipt OF MoShefS note
announcing his sentence seemed to up
set her. .~t
| The woman was out in the country
yesterday and did not return until late.
After she arrived home and found the
note she bought a bottle of carbolic
acid, which one of her women friends
secured. She said it did not matter as
she could get more, and went back to
her room.
| About $50 o'clock she called bar
tender to her room and ordered a
glass of beer and shortly after .
o'clock she was found unconscious on
her bed by a woman who stopped next
door. An empty four-ounce bottle
which had contained carbolic acid was
found in the room, and it is evident
| that she drank all of it.
The woman's true name was Emma
La Bonte, and she was a Canadian by
birth

Lieutenant Colonel Gavin Dewitt, IN
charge of the general hospital at Fort
ress Monroe said that very few intestl-
nal diseases were treated at that instl-
tuition, and these were not attributed
to insufficient or poor diet. No canned
beef was used.
Major w. r. Hall, who was in control
of the general hospital at Key West,
had had no experience there with any
canned roast or refrigerated beef. He
attributed the intestinal diseases gen
orally to the fact that the men had
been exposed to a tropical climate. he
heard some complaint that the men had
been short OF rations i'm Cuba, and they
were much run down.
Major H. P. Durham told of the con-
ditions at the Ponce general hospital,
of which he was in charge. He had
used both refrigerated beef and canned
roast beef, as well as the native beer.
1t was necessary to use the native beer
the day it was killed to prevent spoil
ing, and the refrigerated beef was pre-
ferred to the native article. . He had
found the canned beef satisfactory in
stews, and had heard no complaint con-
cerning it. Typhoid was the principal
disease, but there were many cases OF
dysentery and diarrhea. The latter he
attributed generally to the eating OF
native fruits and not to the meats. All
tod, only 120 cans of the beef had been
refused. Some of the refrigerated beef
had to be trimmed.
Major George H. Torney, who had
charge of the hospital ship Relief dur
o1>a
men had been transported from the
island. He had never used canned roast
beef The refrigerated meat had been
tested, and had given satisfaction He
did not believe that chemicals had been
issued.
Greenleaf W. Simpson of Boston,
present contractor for supplying beet
on the dock in Cuba, and who is largely
interested in live cattle stockyards and
refrigerators, stated his experience in
connection with the letting of contracts
for supplying beef during the Spanish
war He had been prepared to put IN
bid, and previous to the opening OF
the bids had had a conference with
General Eagan, who was personal ac-
uuaintance and who had wired for him
to come to Washington.
Mr.. Simpson said he had in 1897 Wis
| tied Cuba as a Food Commissioner for
the United States for the purpose of in
vestigating the supply of cattle in that
country. He had informed the General
that he considered it impossible to use
REFRIGERATOR beef in Cuba, explaining
the conditions and difficulty, and after
the first conversation General Eagan
| had instructed him to remain over one
day. The next morning when he called
the General had told him that he must
pur chase refrigerated beef for Cuba
but did not indicate that this position
was taken at the instance of any su-
perior officer He CMr. Simpson, had
not, therefore, put in a bid.
He also stated that he had more or
less talk with General Eagan and with
the agent of the Armour Company con-
cerning the use of preservatives. This
question was discussed in a general
way with General Eagan, who told him
that some Investigations were being
made in the South in that direction. He
had inferred that the experiment was

Yet Listened to the Testimony Of a Large
Number Of Witnesses.
Several Army Surgeons in Charge
of Hospitals Testify That Ihey
Had No Experience With
Canned Beef, and to Their
knowledge the Health of Their
Patients Had Not Suffered From
It's Use.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The mill
tarv court to investigate the beef ques-
ton held only one session to-day, but
nevertheless examined an unusuadly
large number of witnesses, including
several army surgeons in charge OF
hospitals. Their testimony was gen
orally to the effect that they had no
experience with canned beef, and that
so far as they knew the health OF their
patients had not been affected by its
use.
The. court also heard the testimony of
Greenleaf W. Simpson of Boston, now
engaged in furnishing beef on the hoof
to the troops at inland points in Cuba,
who stated that he had had several in
terviews with General Eagan prior TO
the letting of bids for the troops at San
tiago, and had urged the impossibility
of satisfactorily supplying beef to the
Cuban troops in amy other way than on
the hoof or ON the block.
While Simpson was undergoing exam
ination Major Lee sought to draw out
information concerning his present con-
tract, but was stopped by General
Wade, President of the commission,
who said that this was outside the time
embraced in the inquiry.
TESTIMONY ADDUCED AT YES
TERDAY'S HEARING.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The court
Of inquiry continued its examination of
members of the medical corps of the
army to-day.
Major Blair E. Taylor, in charge of
the hospital at Fort Mcpherson, said
the beef furnished the hospital was all
of excellent quality.
Major Charles L. Heissman, who was
in command of the general hospital at
Montauk Point, testified that all intes-
tinal troubles were attributed to mala-
ria. and not to food. The food question
did not arise at all.

plaut recently established in that
city for pressing waste papers md
shipping it to Northern paper mills,
there to be reconverted into new,
clean paper, and uossibly shipped
back to New Orleans, when . per.
centage OF it will likely again meet
the same fate, viz: became waste,
be pressed into bale aud shipped
north. Be that as it may, however
the fact remains that there are no
paper mills of consequence 10 the
South, except at Chattanooga, aud
yet il would seem that this indus
try should thrive here, as we'll as
elsewhere. and thus preclude the
necessity for paving freight for
such long hauls as are now neces-
sary. Why has this industry been
entirely overlooked?
