Hall Ailftll , alias "The Sultan's Uon , "
nilnglwl with a couple of Omaha heavy
weight 'wrestlers on the mat nt .Crclghton
hall last night and brought thorn to thu con
clusion that they arc marks In the wrestling
line. Dan Ualdwln , the husky policeman ,
nnd Jacob HHdcbrnnd , the Gcrmnn S.indow ,
were the victims of the gorilla-shaped and
bullet-headed Turk nnd. they met tholr fate
in llttlo less than one-half the scheduled
time. 'AilaH was to have thrown each man
ou both slTolilders Ulcowithin an hour and
ho performed his task In exactly twenty-
eight minutes nnd fifty seconds without
turning a hair.
Hut although there wan never any doubt
that hla two opponents were nothing more
than choice pieces of tnploca for the burly
Mussulman , the event was interesting
enough. It > was worth the price of admls-
Blon alone to watch the big Turk scoop his
pigmy contestants with the flails that Hwung
from his shoulders and then lie down upon
them with his elghth-of-n-ton weight until
they were -willing to throw out the banner
of defeat. A crowd that absolutely filled
every hit of space In the hall witnessed the
performance. Low Houseman , the well
known Chicago sporting editor , acted ns the
director of the scene.
Of the two 'who tackled the Turkish colos
sus , 'Dan ' Ualdwln alone succeeded In giving
the crowd a chance to whoop It up. Ho was
strong enough to ward elf the Turk's affec
tionate grnlis for his legs and to bear up
under the burden of ilesh nnd ibono for a
ttmo nt least. His agility enabled him to
slip nway from a number cf ticklish situa
tions , too , particularly In hla second nnd
llnal 'bout ' , nnd on these occasions the crowd
howled Itself hoarse. Dan also essayed once
to take the offensive , but the Turk shook
him off his 'back ' as n duck would water.
Adall 'won tlio two falls from the policeman
In the tlmo of eight minutes nnfl twenty ECC-
ondt ) and eleven minute * and twenty-five
seconds rcFpectlvely , both times through
the medium ot a half 'Nelson. '
HllJebraml was about 100 pounds lighter
than the Turk and the spectators were soon
witnesses to his finish. In the first bout
the German Saudow succeeded In sidling
nwny from the mountainous Turk for a cou
ple of minutes and then the latter picked
him up like a sack of Hour and laid htm
squnroly on his back on the floor. The tlmo
wns two minutes and twenty seconds. In
his second bout Illldebrand lasted a llttlo
longer and gave a llttlo comedy turn In his
futlio efforts to seize the Turk. A half Ncl-
Bon landed him on his back In six minutes
ami forty-live seconds.
In all the bouts Adall pursued the same
tactics. He crouched like a baboon In the
venter of the mat and followed his man
around until ono of his lunges after a leg
landed and tossed him to the floor. He
worked for a half Nelson , got It and secured
n fall. Although as big ns a side of a house ,
the Turk Is agllo nnd active enough and
niailc some surprisingly quick moves.
This u resilingbout - was the feature of the
entertainment , 'but ' there were several other
numbers on the program. A half dozen
boxers essayed to mix up in Queenaberry
warfare , 'but ' only one pair succeeded. In
Iho first go cf the evening , between Fred
O'Neill of this city , nnd "Kid" White cf
Denver , which was slated to last five rounds ,
O'Neill had his man going In the fourth
. round nnd Referee 'Houseman ' gave the de
cision to O'Neill 'because ' of the unevenness
of the contest. The crowd approved , for It
was evident that White could do nothing
except stand ns receiver general for the pun
ishment that O'Neill chose to give.
The other 'bouts ' were rather tame affairs.
Frank Klnsey , a 118-'pounder ' of this city ,
nnd .Fred . Whltton of Kansas City , a 124-
pound 'weight , 'went ' through five rounds of
llddllng to a draw , -while the concluding
number on the program , a six-round bout
liotwcen Paul Murray and Andy Dupont , was
evidently cut-and-dirled. The other event
on tuo card was an Interesting wrestling
exhibition .between . Oscar Nast and E. R ,
Morgan.

NEW YORK. March 25. The army court
of inquiry , Investigating the charges made by
General Miles that the beef furnished tlio
soldiers In the Cuban nnd Porto Hlcan cam
paigns was unfit for use , convened In this
city today , llofore the hearing 'began Major
Lee said he believed Governor Roosevelt
would bo the only witness heard here. The
court U expected to adjourn to Governor' *
Inland to hear the testimony of officers of the
Thirteenth Infantry , stationed there. Any
other witnesses will probably bo called to
Washington , where tlio court sits again on
Monday.
Upon his arrival Governor Roosevelt shook
hands with several members of the court nnd
then took the stand , after Colonel Davis hail
administered the oath. The governor de
scribed the organization of the Rough Riders
at San Antonio , Tex. , nnd told ot the Is
suance of rations.
"When was the first complaint you heard
of the rations ? " nsked Colonel Davis.
"May I answer that In my own way ? "
asked the governor.
"Certainly. "
"Well , It was aboard ship at Tampa. I
saw a man I think hla name waa Ash , I
know ho came from Kentucky throwing
roast beef. I
away n can of the so-called
asked uliat was the matter nnd too said ho
could not cat It. I told him not to bo a
baby nnd that lie did not volunteer for a
good tlmo nnd ought to bo able to tnko
what came. I thought no more of the mat
ter until I heard that complnlutfl were being
mndo on all sides. Then 1 made Inquiries
and was told that the roast beet wns part ot
the regular ration and that only the volun
teers were complaining. I spoke to Colonel
Wood about It and he said It was the regu
lar ration. 1 tried a mouthful or two my
self , but I could not ent It. "
Few Complaint ! Are Mnclc.
Governor Roosevelt spoke of the Issue of
rations In Cuba and enld that although ho
did not llko the beef and his men would not
cat It , he never heard any one say It was an
"unfit ration. "
"What did the meat look llko ? " asked
Colonel Davle.
"When tlie cans were opened there was a
covering of slime. It was unattractive. The
meat was stringy and It did not agree with
the men -who ate It. "
"Could you not eat It when served with
onions and potatoes ? "
"I think at that tlmo I could have eaten
my hat If I could have had onions and po
tatoes. The men 'would have eaten anything
with freeli vegetables. They stowed the
meat -with mangoes and ate it. Some ot
the men seemed to oat the meat without
difficulty or distress , but It was not suitable
for sick or half-alck men. "
Governor Roosevelt told at length of his
attempts to get supplies In Cuba. Ho re
peated the statements he made to the army
Investigating commission as to his attempts
to organize a transportation train to bring
supplies to his men from Slboney.
"When did you ibegln receiving refriger
ated beef ? " asked Colonel Davis.
"About July 22 , when ashore about a
month. "
"Wero the supplies regular ? "
"Sometimes. Wo received them about
noon. "
"What Tvaa their condition when you re
ceived them ? "
"Their condition as a rule was good. The
outside .was . sometimes bad , but It seemed
awfully good to us. "
"What was the proportion that was bad ? "
"I can't exactly say , but I doubt It the.ro
were more than two or three Issues when
the greater proportion wns bo.cl. "
"Had you reoaon to bellove the refrigerated
beef was treated with chemicals before you
received It ? "
Soldier * Eat vrHli n Iteltnh.
"I never thought about It until I returned
home. The meat seemed good to UB. Wo
ate It nnd enjoyed It. It did undoubtedly
give the men diarrhoea. "
"Did you hear nny complaint ? "
"Well , I heard that some of the officers
and men thought there was something wrong
with the meat , but I have known meat if
kept for a few days on a hunting trip to
have a like effect. None of us were In
very good health and It took less to upset
UB than It would have at another time. "
"Did you attribute their 111 health to the
rations ? " niked Colonel Davis.
"To a certain extent , I suppose , yes.
When wo left Cuba loss than 20 per cent of
the brigade was fit for active service. "
"What wna Issued the men on their voy
age home as n travel ration ? "
"The canned roost beef. "
"To what extent was It acceptable ? "
"It wns utterly and hopelessly unaccept
able. "
"Was any of It eaten ? "
"Somo of It was , but It could not be eaten
by the half-sick , and the well men did not
llko It. "
Major Leo was about to nsk a question
when the governor Interrupted to say lie
wished to speak of the talk ot the "em
balmed beef , "
Ilccf In "Siieclully Prepared. "
"When we left Tampa , " ho said , "two or
three quarters of beef wore put aboard our
hhlp. I was told to put it in the shade. 1
understood It was specially treated for the
tropics. It did not last , nnd a board of In
vestigation decided to throw it overboard , "
"Can you remember the brands or labels
nn the canned roast beef complained of ,
cither that Issued In Cuba or at MontaukV"
asked Major Lee ,
"I do not think I can. Some were Swift's
and some wore Armour's , I bellove. "
Governor Roosevelt said ho had submitted
reports regarding tlie rations trough the
regular army channels In July , and again
on September 10. These reports were
omitted from the published records of the
War department , but were to be printed , BO
' hu said , In the next report.
I Major Leo applied to the court to order
I a copy of Governor Roosevelt's report , to
bo made a part of the minutes of tlio pro
ceedings.
General Wade ruled In compliance with
the motion and Governor Hoosovelt said that
there were some supplementary roportu to
the report of September 10 which be consid
ered very important.
"They include , " he said , "tho statements
ot two captains , four lieutenants , a surgeon
and Captain Drown of the regular service. "
"Will you tell us , " asked Major Lee ,
"what In your opinion Is the value of the
canned roast beef Issued at Cuba and else
where , as an army ration ? "
"I wish to eay unhesitatingly that It was
uttorlyunfit and unwholesome for the tropics.
My experience proves beyond a shadow of
doubt or question that at Ita best thn canned
roast beet was unpalatable and at Ita worst
It was uneatable and unwholesome. "
No ono had nny further question to ask
the governor and the hearing was closed.
The court adjourned to Governor's island.
On ftovrriiur'a iNlniul ,

master's department , who was on General
Kent's staff In Cuba , waa the first witness

flbrous-looleing meat beneath , which looked
ns If It had been boiled.
" \VUB the meat good to eat ? " asked Colonel
nel Davis ,
"The majority of tlio contents of the cans
I saw could not bo eaten. The men refused
to eat It , " replied the witness.
MoAlcxander said the greater part of the
refrigerated meat appeared very fair.
"Tho men complained they could cat only
a very small portion of each can of the
roast beef , If any at all , " continued the
witness. "Under the conditions that sur
rounded us it was no use to complain. It
could not bo tottered. Perhaps six or eight
ounces of the contents of each two-pound
can was meat. It looked as If It was boiled.
It did not look as If It had over seen n
roaster. "
Sergeant James D. Guthrle , Company D ,
Fifteenth regiment , testified that the canned
roast beef was not of good odor and had no
nutriment. It became tainted after the cans
had been opened five or ten minutes. None
of it wns very good. Only about eight
ounces In each two-pound tin was eatable
at nil. Ho only ate the meat once , and then
It made him sick to vomiting.
As a rule the sergeant said the refriger
ated beef was good , although perhaps 20 per
cent of It was tainted. i
Captain M. 13. Saffold said ho had only
tried the roast beet once. Ho was told
that It made the men sick and he made an
inspection.
"It looked , " said Captain Saffold , "llko
boiled meat , with all the strength boiled out
of It , and it tasted llko tallow and water. "

A jiioss meeting of citizens and members
of the South Omaha Commercial club was
held nt the council chamber last nlglit for
the purpose of discussing the Prout iblll ,
which passed the senate yesterday. This bill
pertains to t'ho withdrawal from the munici
pality ot the stock yards and packing houses.
The sense of the ( meeting was expressed In
the following resolution :
Whereas , A bill has recently passed the
senate , known as S. F. No. 279. otherwise
known as the Prout bill : nnd
Whereas , By the provisions of said bill
parties owning real estate In a city may at
any time withdraw from the same for the
purpose of escaping the payment of
municipal taxes by an application to the
district court nnd without the consent of
said city , thereby causing endless confusion
and working Irreparable Injury to the re
maining portion of the same ; and
Whereas , The result ot the passage ot said
bill would be to reduce the population and
size of said city and to Increase the burdens
of taxation on the remaining portion of the
population cf the same and would also per
mit corporations nnd others owning large
Interests In said city withdrawing from the
same and while escaping the burdens of city
taxation have all the advantages of Its
proximity. They would have the advan
tages nt their very threshold of paved
streets , sidewalks , electric lights nnd nil
other municipal improvements without con
tributing In any manner townrd the main
tenance of the municipality : therefore be it
Resolved , That we as taxpayers and citi
zens here assembled do vigorously protest
against the passage of S. F. No. 279 as passed
by the senate of this state , believing that the
same would bo disastrous In Its effects on
cities to which said billl applies , nnd wo
earnestly request the representatives of
Douglas county nnd the state to do tholr ut
most to defeat Its passage and prevent It
becoming a law ; and bo it further
Resolved , That a copy of these resolutions
! > e forwarded to our representatives at Lin
coln.

From surface Indications llttlo or no In
terest appears to bo taken In the coming
election. Aside from the regular nominees
of the city conventions four petition candi
dates , have asked for places on the ticket.
The Second warders will ( have four candi
dates to choose from , two regular nominees
und two petition candidates. Charles P.
O'Hara ol the Second ward has filed a
petition , nnd ao has John Murray. Tlhese
two petitioners will , no doubt , cut Into the
strength of F. J. Fltle , tie republican
candidate , nnd also lessen the support which
would otherwise have been given to Ed
ward Conloy , the democratic candidate. Ed
Johnston In the Fourth ward will run Inde
pendent after having been turned down at
the democratic primaries a few days ago.
Republicans seem to think ttint the en
trance of Johnston Into the field will elect
Stlllmock , as line republicans of the ward
generally stand firm for the party nominee.
Johnston will draw support from Welnor ,
the regular nominee of the democrats , thus ,
In the Judgment of experienced poli
ticians , practically electing the republican
candldato.
John C. McNulty of the Third ward filed
Ms petition late Friday night and his name
will appear on the ticket ns nn Independent
candidate. The populists will liavo no
ticket In the field this spring , ns the at
tempt to hold n city convention last Mon
day evening wns so sllmly attended that
no business of importance wns transacted.
W. II. Olin of the Third ward , who won
nominated by the republicans for member
of the Board ot Education , still desires to
get off tbo ticket , but It Is too late now.
The republican city central commlttpo waste
to have toold a mooting Krldny night for
the purpose of taking some nctlon on Mr.
Olln's declination , but no action was tnkcn
on nccount of n Inck of n quorum. Mnny
republicans interested In the success of the
pnrty wnnt Olin to bo a candidate and
his protests to the contrary will most likely
he overruled. In order for ( tie republicans
tosecure a majority In the Board of Educa
tion It will bo necessary for the party to
elect Its three candidates , whllo , on Uio
otiher hand , the democrats will hnvo to
elect but ono new member to maintain
their majority.
In connection wltli the Board of Educa
tion matters the Grand Island Independent
of yesterday has this to say of Jay Lov
erly , ono of the republican candidates :
"Mr. Jay Laverty , formerly connected with
the business college of this city , das
been nominated by tlio republicans of
South Omaha as a candidate for the office
ot member of the Board of Education , Mr.
Lnverty has many friends In this city , who
v 111 bo pleased to find him successful , and
It Is certain tihat In hla election the people
of South Omaha will have chosen n good ,
clean citizen nnd a man In every way fitted
for lliat position. "
