EAGAN,s NOBLE WORDS.
"God Damn Them, I'd Have Made
Them Take It,"

Z WASHINGTON. March 29.-At the
beef inquiry hearing today. Major
Black, chief commissary general of
Miles staff during the Puerto Rican
campaign, was asked by Major Lee to
detail the conversation he had with
General Eagan, the commissary general
after his (Black's) return to Washing
ton, last tall. Il called upon General
Eagan," said Black, ITO confer concern
ing the conduct of affairs at Ponce. He
asked me why refrigerator beef was not
issued at Ponce. replied it was be-
cause they did not want it, as they were
getting native beef. Thereupon Eagan
became excited and exclaimed, God
damn them. I'd have made them take
iU.n
The court took asrecess until 2 O'clock
with the understanding that Eagan
was to T6appear.
The afternoon session began with
General Charles 2. Eagan, late commits
sary general, on the stand.
Explaining his plans in general
Eagan said it was his first intention to
take refrigerator beef, and then, In case
of failure, to take beef on the block,
and last for the government to have its
own herd. Everybody, he thought, un-
derstood that his preference was for
refrigerator beef. His principal reason
for inserting the clause stipulating that
beef be good II hours after leaving the
refrigerator, was that he did not wish
the troops to know the contract called
for beef that would keep 70 hours, for
fear it would not keep SO long.
