EXPERTS TESTIFY.


Contradictory Statements as to Pres
ence of Chemicals I'm Army Beef.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The two prin-
cfpal witnesses before the beef inquiry
court today were Prof Russell H Chit
tendon, of Yale college. and Dr. Samuel
A. Currie, who was lieutenant colonel of
the Second New Jersey regiment, which
was stationed at Jacksonville during the
war. Prof. Chittenden is one of the
chemists selected by the government to
analyze the canned roast beef. He pre-
sented his report showing that the beef
generally was good. No chemicals had
been found by him in it's preparation, and
1t was generally wholesome. He. how
ever, expressed doubt to whether the
heat of the tropical climate would not
cause the fat in the cans to iquify, and
thus render the food displeasing to the
sight
Col. Davis stated that most of the cans
from which the samples were taken for
analysis had been exposed to the heat OF
the tropical countries. some of the cans
being brought from Havana for the
purpose of the test.
DR.. Currie testified that the refrig-
orator beef supplied at Jacksonville had
on some occasions made the men sick.
He had made chemical analysis of the
beef. which In one case showed the
PiSSciSc "a dCiu anu III dIlolHSi
of boracic acid.
NAL Lee presented more correspon-
dence between Gen. Miles and the court,
and put in a request on behalf of the
general that nine OF the 100 witnesses
whose names he had heretofore sug
gested be called, saying that they would
testify concerning refrigerator beef and
chemically treated beef. The court did
not indicate whether the request would
be complied with

The final step has at last been taken
to give to the Cuban people the blessing

HOUSE FILE 444.

House File 444, that slipped through the
center aisle of the house between the
two watch dogs of the treasury, who sit
on guard on either side, probably at
moment when they mapped. is a measure
that will stand killing in the senate. It's
specious pretense is to create a commits
sion which shall have authority to COM
promise the claims the state may have
against its debtors, but especially de-
signed for those debts growing out of the
failure of banks in which the state had
deposits of public money.
Had the measure been proposed in the
session of 1885, or had it been law before
the panic, 1t might have had a merit it
now has not. 1t comes now, at the tail
end Of the regeneration, to release
few men who are liable on their stock to
the state, and who, naturally, as human
nature runs. wish to escape or to mini
nize their liability. They have discovered,
after the failure. what they might have
known before, that some of their CO.
sureties are bankrupt and that they must
bear the brunt. That was a risk they as
sumed when they signed the bond, and
should not be heard in excuse now.
But there are other reasons and better
ones. The. state had money on deposit in
nearly every bank that closed it's doors
in the panic of 49,, The state contended--
and the supreme court sustained it-that
the state was preferred creditor
as arbitrary and unjust position as any
despotism ever assumed or any court
positors were mulcted that the one depos-
itor, the state, might be made whole.
The few, lily able to stand the loss, were
robbed that the one. we'll able to bear
the loss, might suffer none The com
monest sense of justice would have made
the state a sharer with all depositors in
the losses.
Again. with the exception of these two
or three rotten banks, the state has had
its own in full To get it stockholders
have been assessed and bondsmen made
to contribute. Why should an exception
be made now In favor of few? If this
is done then let justice be done to those
who have not been favored Let the
bill be amended to provide that the com
promise made in the cases covered by
H. f. 444 shall be made the basis of com
putation to which all the claims of the
state, whether adjusted and paid or not.
against the banks that suspended subse-
quently to 1923, shall be scaled, and that.
when the percentage of the states claim
shall have been fixed, there shall be paid
back to the banks which paid the states
claim in full. OF to their receivers and
to the stockholders and bondsmen. the
difference between the amount paid and
the percentage established by this pro- (
posed commission. Then let it be the
rule hereafter that the state shall stand
equal with all other bona fide depositors
In the repositories of state funds, in case
Of their failure. The state should "tote
fair" with it's citizens.

THE CHICAGO ELECTION,

1T is not given to many men to receive
such sweeping Endorsement as that ac-
corded to Carter H. Harrison Yesterday
by the voters of the second city in the
nation. 1t is a triumph of which any
man would have reason to be proud
Ii Is an evidence, moreover, that the
people will uphold the public servant
who is faithful in the main, though he
be lacking in complete fulfilIment of his
trust MIR. HarTison's victory is due to
the fact that he assumed and maintained
from the first the determination to allow
no grants to the traction companies
without adequate compensation to the
municipality Later he added to this
platform declaration against grants
OF more than twenty years, and, later
still, he accepted, along with Mr. Car
ter. the doctrine of municipal ownership
