The Assertion That Chemicals Were Used to Preserve Meat Is Also Most Vigorously Denied. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Fred W. ‘Wilder, general superintendent of Swift & Co. of Chicago, appeared before the War Investigating Commission to-day. The witness said he had general charge of all the packing, canning and slaugh- tering of cattle for the Chicago plant and gave a general account of the prac- tical working of the meat business. He | sald that all the cattle were bought | from commission firms at the stock| | vards and there given ante-mortem in- | spection by a Government official and | | then driven to the abattoir, being well | cooled before killed. A skinning gang f .fteen men would butcher about 120 cattle_an hour. The cattle were then subjected to a post-mortem examina- tion, also by Government inspectors, who examined the lungs, liver and in- testines. The company had had as many as twenty cattle a week condemned at this inspection, being about twenty out of 9000. The condemnation was mostly due to tuberculosis. The condemned animals are then taken by the govern- ment inspectors and the carcasses then g0 to the refuse tank, when the only | use is to take the grease for lubricating purposes and the remainder for fertiliz- ing. The good meat is stamped by the | government inspector and certified for !} | the market. | The beef is cooled for forty-eight hours before shipping, the temperature | being run down gradually from 45 to | 36 or 38 degrees. The shipping cars are thoroughly washed and aired between | shipments and are cooled by ice and alt. The temperature in the cars is| from 33 to 36. Export beef {s inclosed in a cheesecloth bag to keep it clean | and to prevent chafing. There are icing | stations every twenty-four hours on each railroad shipping line and the cars are reiced that often. The witn said different cities took different grades of beef. Boston de- | manded the best beef in the country and Baltimore about the cheapest. New | York stood between the two. Part of | the beef ordered by the Government | during the war was sent from Kansas City, although most of it was from Chicago. The contract with the Gov- | | ernment called for the best fat steers, | not less than 600 pounds for dressed | | carcass. These speclfications were | complied with. Referring to the much-discussed beard” on the refrigerator meat, Mr. | Wilder said the large wholesalers who | supplied the best hotels in Chicago “‘aged” all their beef before selling it | and got an advanced price for it after it accumulated the ‘beard.” He said the meat was better in every respect | after being aged. | As to complaints regarding the army contract beef he said the Manitoba shipment was the only one condemned. | This was shipped July 30, and was not thrown overboard until September 18. | Witness had been in the export busi- ness ten years and in the Liverpool and | London trade, where the beef was from ! ten to eighteen days in transit, and had | never lost one quarter of beef. | Witness denied that any chemicals | | were used in preserving any of the| meat sold by his firm and said that! | among other objections, it would be | useless, would be a detriment to the | | beef and an extra expense. The beef | for export was not the best beef, but a fair quality. | Dr. Connor sought to bring out how | they determined “inanimate beef” is | or is not or has not been tubercular. Colonel Denby, presiding, objected that the Government inspectors were the ones who were responsible. “All right,” continued Dr. Connor, “I | will wait to examine the Government | of the United States.” John J. Murphy, who supervises the handling of the refrigerator cars and | for fifteen years has been an employe | | of Swift & Co., testified to the same | | general effect. | Mr. Gardner went into a detailed de- | | scription of the ammonia refrigerating plant. He explained that the ammonia | | merely furnished the cold air to keep | | the meat at a proper temperature. The | ammonia did not come in contact with | | the meat or affect it in any way. | | As to the keeping properties of re- frigerated meat, he said that in his opinion meat was at its best after three weeks in the cooler. It would remain | at its best for perhaps ten days longer, | | after which gradual deterioration set | | in, Mr. Gardner supported the denials of | the other beef company employes that | chemicals were used in the preserva- tion of the company’s meat. | G. F. Swift, the head of the firm of | | Swift & Co., of Chicago, was the next | description of the beef business from the time the cattle reached the stock | yvards until they were delivered to the retail butcher shops. This testimony | had been largely anticipated by the re- cital of his superintendent, Mr. Wilder, | | earlier in the day. _The quality of | | beef sent to Cuba and Porto Rico, Mr. | Swift said, was just about the quality demanded by the New York trade. Regarding chemicals, Mr. Swift said | most positively that he had never used | them in all his forty vears' experience as a butcher, and he knew of no chemical that could be used with ad- vantage to either the seller or con- sumer. TO PURCHASE CANNED MEAT FOR INSPECTION | WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Secretary Wil- son has directed Chemist Wiley of the Department of Agriculture to purchase canned meat in the open market here, the products of the same concerns as fur- nished it to the Government during the war, and to make analysis of the cans’ contents to determine if they were treated by chemicals. This action on the part of Secretary Wilson is wholly volun- tary. The inquiry iS now in progress and prompt publicity will be given the results. Department officials are confident the beef as furnished under the contracts was wholesome and pure. They say that the attacks made on the beef, even if not sustained, will cost the meat interests in the country an amount equal to the cost of the entire war, and furnish material in the future for the opposiion of those countries which have been all along fight- ing the admission of American beef prod- uets. The Secretary says there is no doubt that the decision of the allegations made | will g‘(\'e a setback to the negotiations that have been making for years for re- moval of European restrictions on our products.

Specfal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The United States Supreme Court, through Justice ‘White, to-day rendered an opinion in the case of Herman Keck, charged with | smuggling diamonds into the United States, holding that he was not guilty as charged, and thus reversing the verdict of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. This case involved the construction and the meaning of the word smug- gling and of paragraph 476 of the Wilson tariff a under which it was claimed that it was intended to make diamonds free because a semicolon fol- lows the word diamonds in this para- graph. The court held on this latter point that it was merely an error of punctuation and that diamonds were dutiabié under paragraph 338 of the Wilson act imposing a duty on precious stones generally. The court gave its principal attention to the charge of smuggling, holding that it was not applicable because the g00ds in question were not landed and that, therefore, the act w not com- pleted. The diamonds which were al- leged to have been smuggled were brought to the United tes by the captain of the steamer Rhinelander. at the request of Keck, who appears to have met the captain in Antwerp pre- vious to sailing, and to have requested him to bring over a package, the con- tents of which he did not mention. and forward it upon his arrival to a per- son in Cincinnati, whose name Keck gave him.

HAVANA, Jan. 9.—Major General | Ludlow, Military Governor of the De- partment of Havana, recently requested the Cuban general, Jullo Sanguilly, to stay outside the city, or, in the event of his entering it, not to wear his uni- form in public. Sanguilly was informed in writing that he would be severely dealt with in the event of provoking | any more trouble such as occurred at the Albisu Theater a few nights ago, when, with a party of friends, he al- most provoked a physical conflict with two members of the municipal police who had not saluted him.

PHILLIPS ;SAILED UP ALASKAN COAST IN ‘ A CATAMARAN. Encounters a Storm, Escapes to Shore and Is Saved From Starva- tion by Indian Hunters. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Jan. 9.—Dr. S. D. Phillips, a young dentist from Buffalo, N. Y., has just reached this city from Fort Simpson, B. C., with the story of a most startling experience as a castas way upon Tracy Island, in Dixon's En- trance. After having been shipwrecked in a fearful storm he and two com- panions subsisted on mussels for seven days, when they finally became de- lirious. . Phillips was the man who created daring up the Alaskan coast in a a Few ple believed that he would make the trip in w= ety and many considered him foolharay to the point of absurdity. But he and one companion, Willlam Bridg did make the trip safely during the spring and summer. They weath. | ered some of the fie t gales that hav been known to the Klondike travelers. They went to Fort Simpson and there secured a small schooner, intending to £0 north. On. the night of November 23 a storm arose and the schooner was carried from her place of anchorage to the open a, with Phillips and two companions aboard. The wind blew the schooner on the shore of Tracy Island and as she struck the rocks the men dived into the surf and managed to get ashore. Through the remainder of the night with the flerce wind blowing and the cold rain and snow falling, the three. men shivered among the rocks on the shore of Tracy Island. When daylight came they were cold and hungry. For seven days, with only mussels to eat, they waited to be rescued. Then the three became delirious and knew noth- ing until they became conscious in an Indian tent on the mainland, having been rescued by Indian hunters who | chanced to in canoes. Phillips tells ue: g | seventh day that both Bridges and m: | self had be: ne delirious. We had | kept up the fires until that time. It was | two days afterward we came to our | senses. Then we were in an Indian | camp on the mainland, where we were | being kindly car for. We learned | that an Indian, Joshua Wells, and his | two sons were passing Tracy Island, | going on a hunting trip. They saw the | smoke from cur fires, and, believing | that Indians were on the island hunt- | ing they stopped, when they saw us. | ‘“They took us over in their canoes to | their camp.

Specal Dispatch to The Gall. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 9.—According to advices received from Shanghai the Chinese officials have learned a lesson | from the German seizure of Kiaochow. Dispatches received there from Nan- king say that when it was reported that owing wo the difficulties of settling the French claims regarding the Ningfo Cemetery riot the French intended, as did the Germans, to seize some place in the Yangtse Valley both Viceroys Liu and Chang, who are in charge of the defenses of the great river, made every preparation to prevent the threatened coup, and all military at- taches from near Shanghal to Ichang | received strict orders to resist any such aggression as was expected, on pain of losing their heads. Extra troops were called in from the interior to reinforce the garrison on the Yangtse and large quantities of ammunition were sent to them, with orders to use it fully when | needed. When Count de’Besaure arrived with the French cruiser Descates she began to steam hither and thither, taking soundings, and two Chinese warships were ordered to watch her. The French warship, they reported, had run out all her guns and was prepared for ac- tion. The Viceroy Liu, expectant of more French cruisers coming to the Descates’ reinforcement, has ordered the Chinese fleet to rendezvous at Nanking. He has also ordered officers in commanad of the Yangtse defenses to open fire if any suspicious movement is seen. The Chinese press regards the French French with trying to pick a quarrel with some object in view. The Chinese are resolved to resist any aggression and should the French take action there will be troubl HOUSE REVERSES FORMER ACTiON Appropriation for the Civil Service Commission Restored to Its Place. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The House to- day reversed the decision of the commit- tee of the whole last Friday, when the appropriation for the Civil Service Com- mission was struck from the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. In committee, where members do not go on record, the appropriation was stricken out by a vote of 67 to 61. To-day when the roll was called the appropriation was restored, the motion to strike out being defeated—47 to 119. The House to-day, by special order, de- clded to proceed with the consideration of the naval personnel bill as soon a8 the byt for the codification of the laws of Alaska is out of the wai;. About seventy addi- tional pages of the latter bill were cov- ered to-day, leaving almost 100 pages un- disposed of. 4 ADVERTISEMENTS. There is one thing very noticeable in the type of young men of this day—they are either athletes or nothing. A man who takes care of his physical body is in a certain sense an athlete. He is making himself a better man every day of his life. It is true that you must progress or decline; there is no middle station. Surely if you don’t take care of yourself, if you indulge in the dissipations open to you, decline is cer- tain, and as a man you soon become n(\[hipg‘. The simple reason in both cases is that the man who takes good care of his health is storing up energy every day, while the man who does not is wasting his energy as fast as he gets it. The perfection of physical manhood is the study of my life. It has occupied me for twenty yvears. )Y know that any man with sufficient vi- tality may become a physical giant. I know that Electricity is the basis of manly vigor. My Dr. Sanden Electric Belt charges the entire phys cal body with Electricity every night while you sleep. During your rest your power is increasing day by day. Ten thousand men say it made them strong. Will you try it? My book, “Three Classes of Men,” Is devoted to this subject. It is full of the things a man with a desire to be strong likes to read. You can have it, closely sealed, free. Call if you can and let me show you my method. Write to DR. M. A.
