Board of Tnqnlry Goes Back to New York with 1 nterestlng Information. The members of the Government inquiry finished their labors in Chicago and left for New York. The testimony of Gov. Theodore Roosevelt will be received, after which the court will proceed to Governor’s Island. The evidence brought forth on their last day in Chicago wa* largely cumnlative iu its character, consisting mainly of criticisms of the canned beef and refrigerator beef from soldiers who ate it and watched its effects in Cuba and Porto Itico. David Fleischmann, a bellboy in the Morrison hotel, told cf a visit to the stock yards in company of an unknown man whose purpose he supposed to be an experiment in the matter of preserving beef by chemical treatment. Clark Marshall, the provision specialist, whose testimony was expected to be sensational, threw no additional light on the question, his evidence being principally the expression of opinion that canned beef as now put on the market is totally unfit for human food.
