REVELATIONS MADE CONFIDENTIALLY
Miles OftVrs Witnesses in Throngs, and the
Board Promises to Take the Matter Under
> Consideration, Though Needing no
More, it Says.
Washington. April 4.—The army court ,
of inquiry to-day hoard l)r. Wtu. H. ,
l>;il\ in regard to the character of beef
furnished for the army during the late ]
war.
Dr. Daly s testimony dealt on this oe- !
< asion. as oil his first appearance, espe
cially with the beef supplied to the
army, llis first observation had been
made on a transport at Tampa Itefore
the sailing of the expedition to Santiago,
where t'olonel Wroton invited his atteii
ii.>n to a quarter of beef hanging on the
deck. Colonel Weston's only remark
wa> "Here's a quarter of la-es which has
l ei n hanging here for sixty hours in the
-un: we are going to see wlmt it will
do." No reference was made to preser
va t ives.
He. (Mr. Daly cut off a piece of the
beef and rooked and ate it the next day. '
After that he became sick at the stom
ach, but he had not felt convinced that
the meat caused the sickness.
After some references to his stay in
Porto Rico l)r. Daly detailed the parti
culars of the trip north on the trans
port Panama last September, which was
in his charge. The vessel had been pro- i
ruled on setting out with the best ob
tainable refrigerator beef, but the vessel
had not gone far before it liecame evi
dent that it was not good.
He did all that he could to quiet the
complaints, but they increased, and the
stench soon grew so strong that it per
vaded the ii hole ship. The odor was
indescribable. He at last suggested a
board of survey, and one being ordered
it had condemned the meat left, about
1,500 pounds, and lie had had 1t thrown
overboard.
Here Dr. Daly took occasion to pay bis
respects to the war commission before
which he hud appeared. He said the
commission had given out the impression
that the deterioration of the beef on the
Panama was due to want of ice This
was contrary to his testimony, anil the
truth could easily have been ascertained.
As a matter of fact the Panama had
an excellent refrigerator, and it car
ried 10 tons of ice to one of beef.
Dr. Daly said he had since made ox
poriinents upon beef subjected to treat
ment by boric acid, and had found it to
give forth about as foul a smell as could
well be imagined. i
Major Lee then read various reports
made by Mr. Daly concerning official
inspections of the beef at the camps at
Jacksonville, Lexington, Chicknmauga.
All these stated that the meat used gen
erally looked well, but that there was
a universal complaint of its smelling
badly. He had found the fresh beef to j
be apparently preserved by the injection
of some chemical which destroyed its I
natural flavor, and which must of neces
sity have been injurious to the health of
those eating it. It was to his mind im
possible to preserve meat without the
use of aciils, and apparently the meat
had been preserved “by the injection of
chemicals to aid the work of defective
cold storage.” In one case hi- had found
the odor similar to that of a dead hu
man body and in another, speaking of
the odor, lie said: “It was unnatural,
mawkish, sickly, like that of a human
cadaver after an undertaker had inject
ed his embalming preservative.”
He was satisfied that the beef had
been chemically prepared—that if lmd
been embalmed in fact. After his re
ports had gone in he iiad, in order to
satisfy his own mind, made a chemical
analysis of a residium from the beef used
on the transport Panama and bad found
distinct evidence of the presence of
boric ami salycilic add. He then refer
red again to the report of the war com
mission, iu which reference had been
made to the use of these drugs, the inti
mation being that a trace of them would
not he injurious.
Replying, Dr. Daly assorted that the
chemicals were detrimental to health,
and they could only be used at the i>eril
of those taking them.
Here Dr. Daly introduced a joint re
port made by Dr. Clark, chief chemist,
and Dr. Hilderhrundt, chemist of the
Geological Survey on ant analysis made
by them of residium from the beef used
on the Panama.
Iu this report they said they had exam
ined the powder furnished by Dr. Daly.
“Both the flame test and the turmeric
paper test give dislinct evidence of the
presence of boric acid,” they sail: “We
also obtained good reactions with ferri«
chloride showing the p| react we of salycilic
acid.”
In response to a general question. Dr.
Daly said he had come inio much in
formation confirmatory of wiiat lie had
testified to, out which had come to him
in a coutide'irial way, rend ‘ring it im
proper for ti'iu to give the names ct
those supplying it. In truth a ban had
lveen plae-d upon ‘he information. He
thought that some 40 or 50 |i>-. am- lino
spoken to him in eorroboraßon of what
he had said. 4 best were ih* proprie
tors of slaughtering houses aim the man
ufacturers of chemicals.
He said a Per some questiotimg that lie
would ascertain whether he could give
the names of these people to the court.
After Dr. Daly had completed his tes
timony Major Lee submitted a written
CASTOR IA
the Kind You Hue Always Bought.
request from General Miles for the ad
mission of the official reports of 1 *7 men
representing -<> regiments as testimony,
It was stated that these reports all bore
upon the question of the character of
beef supplied to the army and were per
tinent to the inquiry. It was also stated
by Major Lee that General Miles had
at yesterday's si salon of the court sub
mitted the nano's of 123 officers and en
listed men w hom be desired to have the
court summon as witnesses, giving n!
the same Mine a synopsis of their testi
mony and lie asked to have the two re
quests passed upon.
Neither of General Miles’ requests
were notul it|>on.
Major Lee also .presented, hut did not
read, a letter from Armour nntd Com
pany. apropos of tile process for the
preservation of beef by artificial means.
It is understood that it will be held un
til Mr. Dowell appears to give his testi
mony. which will probably he within a
1 few days.
Dr. Edwin I. N'ieodomus. of Philadel
phia. who served in the capacity of a
surgeon in the Dor to Ricnn campaign,
testified that both the eannned roast
l»i es and the refrigerated beef were very
unsatisfactory. He had returned to the
United States on the transport Mississ
ippi and found the refrigerated meat
very uiiswtisfaetor.v. It was, he said,
suggestive of a dissecting room, the
odor biing characteristic of an embalmed
body. The beef had a sweetish acid
taste, and some of the men after eating
it had manifested symptoms of ptomaine
poisoning. He inferred that the bes
had undergone chemical treatment be
cause the taste and smell were different
from tin normal taste and smell of
meat.
Dr. \V. S. DoYoe. of Chicago, was
recalled. He is an inspector of the Ag
ricultural-Department and In 1 SIM made
an inspection of the packing houses of
Chicago on complaints mid had made
a report to the department. This how
ever. could not be found and Dr. DeYoe
was asked to give the best information
he could. He proved a very unwilling
witness saying that he saw no rtasonj
why statements concerning facts of four
or five years ago should be brought out
here to the detriment of the business of
a firm which lmd since, so far as lie
knew, obeyed the law. The court insis
ted. however, and he said that the firm
of Nelson Morris and Company was the
one which had been especially investiga
ted. The testimony had been given
mostly by disgruntled employes mid was
to the effect that the carcasses of cattle
had been taken from the tanks and
plan'll on th ■ local market. The find
ings had not been conclusive.
I»r. DeVoe said he had at the time
been reasonably well satisfied that tin
law had not been complied with and
that hi had reported to the department
that there was foundation for the com
plaint.
During the day the hoard sent a reply
to General Miles, saving it would take
the mattter of his proposition to supply
more witnesses under consideration, but
iptlmating that tin 'board did not require
further testimony relating to the canned
roast beef.
General Miles had sent another letter
in answer to this in which he calls atten
tion to the litter he wrote early in the
proceedings of the board, saying that
the inquiry was not only of great im
portance. involving the health and life
of the army, but that the honor of the
service was at stake. He adds that 2.*».-
000 men and no doubt many more could
give evidence substantiating the asser
tion that the meat was unfit to eat. and
lie expresssed the hope that out of this
number 131 whose nanu s he had submit
ted would be allowed to testify. Gene
ral Miles suggested that men who had
evidence to give might answer a set of
inti rrogatories prepared by the hoard, if
if was found inqirai-tica'ble to hear them
orally.

Snow began to fall here yesterday
morning at 4 o’clock and did not cease
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
In that time over two inches of “the

anything like two inches deep, though,
for it melted as it fell. Only on tries
ami fences and house-tops did it linger—
anil on grassy towns.
This is th heaviest April snow since
the weather bureau was established here,
thirteen years ago. In fact there has
been only two snows in April. The first
was April Ist, 1887. whin 1.7 inches of
enow fell and in lSSit on April (!, there
was a fall of 4 inches. About twenty
years ago there was a snow on April
17. tlie latest snow remembered in this

of William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. About
one hundred and fifty guests- wire pre
cut at the ceremony, which took place
ill the Fifty-Soventih Street residence of
Herman Oelriehs, whose wife is the sis
ter of the bride. The home was stir
rounded by a curious and mixed crowd.
Shortly before noon the guests com

At the end of the conservatory a dtps
had been raised. Over this was a canopy
of latticed smilax, clinging vines, and
blossoming ] teach tret's. Its luxuriant
foliage shut out the daylight, but tiny
incandescent lights liiddin in the leaves
gave soft and ample illumination.
Almost promptly at noon tlie maid of
honor. Miss Mary Baldwin Tolfr;e.
entered the ball room anil under an aisle
arched with roses walked toward the
waiting priest. She preceded the
bride, Miss Fair. Following her vas
her brother-in-law, Mr. Oelriehs. The
organ, especially hulk for the purpose,
pealed out. The groom was attended
by J. D. Kellogg. In the gallery an
orchestra of fifty pieces under Emil
Paur played the nuptial music from
Lohengrin.
The ceremony itself was short and
immediately upon its conclusion congrat
ulations were shown red upon Mr. anil
Mrs. Vanderbilt, Jr. There were a few
relatives present. Os the Vanderbilts
there wort only to kiss the bride, Wil
liam K. Vanderbilt, Sr., and young
Harold Vanderbilt, brother of the
groom. The rest of the family are an
mourning or abroad, but though absent,
they were well represented in the list
of presents, which were numerous and
of the costliest description.
The wedding party was ushered into
tli library and at long tables sat down
to a wedding breakfast.
When thi> breakfast was over the
bride changed into her traveling dress,
and the young Vanderbilts drove off
in a brand-new brougham, a pres; nt to
the groom, to the river. They crossed
to the Long Island Railroad depot, and
there entered a special car. which bor.
them to Mr. Vanderbilt’s country place,
lillehour, Oakdale. L. I.
Miss Fair’s wedding gown was made
in Paris. The foundation was ivory
satin, cut with a long train. This ma
terial was covered with fine point
d'esprit of a creamy tint, corresponding
to that of the satin. Instead of point
lace, old creatu colored Irish lncc, which
is somewhat heavier in texture, was
used in appliqued designs all over the
gown. Lengthwise insertions trimmed
the front of the skirt, the train was l>or
dereil with a deep edging, and the upper
part of the corsage was entirely of the
lace. The sleeve reached barely to the
elbow and was partly of lace and point
d’esprit. She wore a veil of tulle.
