n EE3ss WASHINGTON; D. c., ian. 1.-THE
war investigating commIsaionE to-day
decided to make public THE amended
statement, filed by commIssary General
4 Eagan yesterday. The commission
7! permitted the representatives OF the
press 70 read the statement and It was
formally announced to the newspaper
men that General Eagan had elimlna-
ted all Objectionable statements, and
a therefore the documents would be ac-
,eepted officially by the commission az

As already stated, the changes made
BY General Eagan in the document are
* s mainly In the line OF exclsion, yet the
sSphraseolosy! has been also altered fire.
issSsquently.ts He refers to General Miles
& as the senior, Major General Nelson
SsA.s Miles" and while keeping strictly
within the line OF propriety In tho
4 Judgment; of the commission, in neg
fSatl9e manner at least. he resents any
X assumption OF, General Miles superior
lily and asserts that he is as good as
& old and as experienced a. soldier as
Il General Miles. He also critlcIses the
8 Matters attack on the beef Industry as
IL infamous. It Is believed that SO far liz

Respecting the quality of the beef

said the canned corn beef was bad, un-
y fit for use and should not hive been is

tNstringy and he himself had been I'M

Hid BY Standing on His Head.

Deputy Constable Frank Lingo call
ed at Minnie Wagner's home in the
rear of No. 1922 Franklin avenue, st
Louis to serve an execution, and found
crap game in progress. He retired,
and enlisted Policemen Curley and
Timken to aid in arresting the gam
blers.
AS the officers forced an entrance
one OF the players kicked over the
lamp, hoping to escape in the dark
ness. Each officer caught man, and
after Handwriting them went upstairs to
look for fourth. They searched every
room, but found nothing until Police
man Curley pulled bedstead out from
the wall. There was dress hanging
on one of the posts of the bed. As
CRley jerked the bedstead a negro
fell from under the dress. He was the
missing man. He could hardly
speak.
Its funny didn't see your big
feet" said Curley.
You couldn't, kase l was standin' on
my haid." said the negro.
And so he had. Knowing his feet
would be more readily perceived than
his black head. the negro had upended
himself, and had held that position for
twenty minutes or more. That is why
he had difficulty in speaking when first
discovered.

in Central Otago. There was fall OF

the more interesting from the fact that
this is the second perfect moa's egg

other perfect specimen was unearthed
by a man while digging in the alluvial

Probably the longest game of chess
ever known was that played between
a gentleman residing in Australia and
a friend living in Newark, u. 8. A.
Each move was made by letter, one
player making use of the Europe and
SueZ canal route. and the other writing
via the Pacific ocean and San Francis
co. Five years elapsed before the
game was drawn to close. Another
similar record in chess playing was a
correspondence game which took place
recently between several Germans liv-
ing in New York and a chess club in
Bremen. Germany. The game termin-
ated with a victory for the New York
players. having lasted period of two
years and five months.
