MORE ON THE BEEF,
Gen. Humphreys and Others
Testify Before War Board.

Washington, Jan. l6.-Before the war
investigation commission today, Frank
E. Vogel, representing the Nelson Nor
ris Packing Company and Fairbanks
Canning Company, testified that his
concern had sold about s15O,O0O worth
of canned roast beef to the govern
ment used at Chickamauga, and said it
was all of good quality.
No beef products of his concern had
been chemically treated
Capt. R. j. C. Orvine, commissary on
the Panama at the time that the trans
port was in charge of Surgeon Daily,
who wrote a report on the beef, con-
demning it in the most sensational Ian
guage. testified that the vessel sailed
from Ponce September l or and on
the 18th there was a well marked odor
as of something that had been CLOSED
up" He was not prepared to say it
was injected with chemical preserva-
tives as Surgeon Daily had reported
AS soon as complaint was made of
the beef, he said it was examined and
found to be very odorous.
The beef was thFown overheard. All
the beef carried was refrigerated beef
The ice taken aboard had not been suf-
ficient to preserve tha beef. Even" as
the commission asked, IF it had been
received in good condition.
1t was received in fairly good con-
dition, however, witness said After
the beef was thrown overheard he had
thought it must have undergone some
change before it was brought aboard
or while aboard, before it was put on
the ice. The board Of survey that ex-
amined the beef condemned it because
it was spoiled, nothing to any other
effect being adduced. It's report said
that the beef was not received in good
condition, and it exonerated Capt Or
vine from responsibility therefor. De-
spite this finding, witness said he in
sisted that he believed the beef was
in condition fit for immediate use when
received, and it was used for three or
four days.

commit suicide by gashing the
veins in her wrist with a knife.
The later apparently proved too
slow or else painful and the wo-
man put a third charge in the shot
gun and sent it through her heart.
Eckinger was % years old.
Lately he had been drinking heav-
lily and frequent quarrels took place
between him and his wife. The

LYNChING OF ITALIANS.
The italian Authorities Have Filed a Re-
port of the AffaIr-SerIous Matter.

Washington, D. c., Aug. O.
The state department has received
from the Italian authorities a copy
of the report made by the Marquis
Romano, secretary of the Italian
embassy, on his investigation of
the lynching of five Italians in
Louisiana. The report presents
the affair in a serious light, and
shows that the Italian authorities
view the occurrence as one of un-
usual atrocity. 1t contends that
there were no mitigating circum-
stances; that DR.. Hodges first drew
weapon, and that the first shot
fired by Defatta was in defense of
his fallen brother, and not a wan
ton attack. Describing the affair
in detail, the report points out that
some time after the first two men
were lynched the mob made sec
ond and then a third visit to the
Jail. from whence they removed
and lynched the three other Ital-
ians, all of whom, it is contended,
were in utter ignorance of the kill
ing of DR.. Hodges. Conceding
some extenuating circumstances in
the lynching of the two men imme-
diately concerned in DR.. Hodges
killing, Marquis Romano contends
that the lynching of the other three
was a thing of particular atrocity.

OFFICIALS IN THE DARK.

Washington April 23.-Little information
came to the authorities here to-day respecting
the operations in the vicinity Of Quingua, and
while regretting greatly the severe losses sus-
tanned, they were loath TO comment on II In the
absence of fuller information. From what was
received IL is evident that the troops engaged in
the fighting were a portion Of those comprised
IN General MacArthur's division. and probably
were engaged in clearing the jungle Of bands OF
insurgents infesting II. Much admiration was
expressed for the valor shown by the Amer
leans under the strcng fire Of the insurgents and
IN face Of the unfavorsble climatic conditions.
The dispatches were sent to the White House
