Talk Believed to Arise Because
odell People Hated Woodruff.

Talk Of Secretary Cortelyou for chair
man OF the republican state committee of
New York in place of Timothy Woodruff
arises. it is said here today. from the very
friendly feeling for Secretary Cortelyou
on the part Of the different factions In
that state. Mr.. Cortelyou has repeatedly
announced. though that he has no idea of
retiring from the Treasury Department
now or at any time soon. He said that
while he had some good business offers
from New York, there is nothing in
the present situation In New York to
make hi mchange his views. State Chair
man Woodruff is a candidate to succeed
himself. and the fight will be settled wher
the state convention meets In April. The
Odell people are hostile to Mr.. Woodruff
and would like to see him beaten. He
says they cannot defeat him. The bitter.
ness likely to arise over the struggle IL

brought forward the name of Mr.. Cortel-
you as the best man to conciliate the
factions and at the same time look out

that all the racers could reach Seattle
between March and 10, when the boat

It was understood that cars not there
when tho boat departed were disquali-

afternoon session the defendant was
closely questioned relative to toxic effects
of various drugs, particularly the coal tar
derivatives; the doses necessary to pro-
duce such effects. and Of his familiarity
with various doses of acetanilide and
antipyrine.. Cocaine and other similar
drugs, which were pronounced to be poi
sons by the witness, were compared to
acetanilide and antipyrine. The witness
refused to admit, under cross-examina-
ton, that either antipyrine or acetanilide
were poisons in any respect. from what
inconvenience or serious effect lay in toxic
doses, which, he stated, so far as he knew
was from twelve to fifteen grains.

WITNESS IN OWN OEFNSEE
DRUGGIST ROBERT N. HARPER
UNDER EXAMINATION.
Testifies Regarding His Remedy,
Which Has Been Declared to
Be Mislabeled.

The tenth day of the trial of Robert N.
Harper under information charging him
with the violation of the food and drugs
act began this morning before Judge Kim
ball of the United States branch Of the
Police Court. The defendant resumed his
line of direct testimony. and after his
United States attorney and the calling OF
several expert witnesses for the prosecu-
ton the case. it Is thought, will be about
concluded. 1t is expected the jury will
deliberate upon their verdict tomorrow
afternoon.
During the testimony Of Mr.. Harper
this morning number Of officials from
the Agricultural Department were in
II w. Wiley and DR. L. F. Kebler; also
the expert for the prosecution. DR.. Reed
Hunt, pharmacologist of the Marine Hos
pital.
Mr.. Harper continued his direct testi-
mony from yesterday. He stated that be-
amount of alcohol placed In the COM
pound varied in the different seasons OF
the year. explaining the discrepancy in
the differences of the various analyses.
He stated that so far as his experience
and observation had shown four grains
of acetanilide was not a dangerous dose.
and as a druggist he considered neither
acetanilide nor antipyrine poisonous in
any sense of the world. Instead, 1t was
remedial in its nature.
Regarding Food Value.
The witness was asked where the food
value lay in his remedy. and he replied
that it consisted in the alcohol, which
was of a very pir4 nature.
The defendants testimony was curtailed
by repeated objections on the part OF
United States Attorney Baker, on the
ground that he was not sufficiently quail
fed and had not been proved to be an
expert, except as a druggist.
After a direct examination of over two
hours Mr.. Harper was cross-examined. At
the outstart he was asked to quote au
thoritieS which he referred to In prepar-
ing himself and to sufficiently equip him
to manufacture medical remedy. He
gave the names of several books. He
was questioned closely. as a druggist, as
to what was a fatal dose Of the two drugs
acetanilide and antipyrine. and in reply
gave 1t as his opinion that there was no
such thing as a fatal dose; that discom-
fort from the taking of these drugs was
witness stated that he had known Of
thirty grains of acetanilide being taken
without ill effects.
Mr. Baker. taking an eight-ounce bot
tie Of the compound, asked the witness:
This bottle contains 157 grains of acct
anilde and antipyrine, 1913 of the former
and 20 of the latter. Now is this poi

''Would you drink the contents OF this

would likely be fatal"
