Presidents Cabinet to Probe
Into the Alleged Sugar

PARSONS SAYS "LIE"

Washington, Nov. 16.-Consider-
able sugar fraud data was presented
at a cabinet meeting today by At
torney General Wickersham and Sec
retary of the Treasury McVeagh. 1t
is known that President Taft order
ed both of these officials to sift the
sugar scandals to the bottom and
bring those criminally concerned to
justice.
Representative Parsons of New
York today denied the report that
he dominates the customs bureau
and declared that he had not secur-
ed his share of the appointments.
He also declared the rumor that
number of New York republican
politicians would be touched by the
sugar scandal was a malicious fall

SpreckleS Interests Involved.
New York, Nov. 16.-When Presi-
dent Taft and his cabinet today took
up plans as to how to crush the
sugar trust, Attorney General Wick
ersham presented the report com
piled by Henry L. Stimson, special
deputy attorney general, setting
forth the alleged crimes the govern
ment expected to prove.
1t is understood the report de-
clares that the American Sugar Re-
filming company crushed its rivals by
the sheer weight of money; bribed
government inspectors and its oppo-
nents' employees; contributed cam
paign funds to all parties and finally
reached an understanding with the
Spreckles interests in California and
apportioned out the sugar trade of
the country so that the Independent
trade was wiped out with two ex-
ceptions.
The real reason, however, for the
cabinet discussing the matter is that
most of the alleged law-brealting is
covered by the statute of limitations.
Stimson is reported as saying that
he has plenty of moral proof but
little that would be admitted in
court"
The cabinet must decide what form
of prosecution would most likely re-
suit in the actual punishment of the
man responsible.

Former Treasurer Shaw Makes
Startling Declaration at
a Philadelphia Club
Banquet.
NOT READY FOR WAR
SITUATION RESULTING FROM
ANTI JAPANESE MOVEMENT
AT FRISCO MORE GRAVE THAN
GENERAL PUBLIC WAS AWARE
OF-WAR AVERTED.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. I

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-That the
United States was forced to humble
itself before Japan at the time, the
anti-Japanese feeling, arouse. o
school difficulties in San FAl---I~,
was the startling declaration of for
mer Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
NJ. Shaw that is causing comment
of varied nature here today.
At the Neighborhood club last eve
ming Shaw, in advocating the passage
of ship subsidy bill, declared that
the United States is pitifully unpre-
pared for war and that this country
was forced to bow before the Japan
ese because the government realized
its inability to prosecute a success
>ful military campaign in the event
of war.
"a short time ago." he said, I'VE
had with us in this city delega-
ton of Japanese visitors. We told
them how much we loved them, and
how remote was the possibility of a
war between our people and theirs.
They took it and smiled. But at the
same time, their great men at home
are declaring that the Japanese are
the rightful masters of the Pacific,
and they are limiting at their will
ingness to defend this attitude with
arms.
Pm not trying to tell you that we
are going to war with the Japanese,
but you can't overlook one fact
Japan has 500 ships of her merchant
marine on the water and fifty more
on the ways. Every one is under
contract to quit commerce and start
on line of marine activity at the
call of the government.
There was a deep-seated alarm in
Washington at the time of San Fran
cisco's outbreak against the apanese.
You won't know how near war we
were. In order to avert it we had
to knuckle down to every condition
they demanded. Had we been in
condition for war, and been possessed
of a merchant marine, we never
would have had to swallow that bit
ter pill"

came known today that since the ar

trade ENJOYS. Baron Shibushawa, the
leader of the delegation, and other

Soon after the commissioners ar

Baron ShibushSwa is rumored to

II. C.. I. L. AND COCA-COLA

AS many druggists are aware of the
fact that the medical temperance de-
partment of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has OPP
posed the beverage Coca-Cola for
years past, it may be of some interest
to them to know of recent confer
ence held by the general sales man
ager Of the Coca-Cola Company with
me, in the Yates Hotel, Syracuse,
N. Y. This conference was held by re-
quest of Mr.. S. G. Dobbs, the mana
ger referred to, his object being, as
he stated it, to convince me of the
harmlessness of Coca-Cola. I was &C
companied by the president of the
Onondaga County Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and Mr.. Dobbs
had with him a Coca-Cola salesman.
was not there to talk, but to lis
ten, so | had very little to say except
to ask an occasional question. Nor
was it necessary for me talk, as
MI Dobbs is not hampered in facility
Of speech.
He began by extolling the virtues
of the manufacturer of Coca-Cola, Mr..
Asa G. Gambler, Of Atlanta, Ca: cit
would be impossible for so high
minded man to make and sell a
beverage that contained the least pos
sible danger of a drug habit. Why,
he gives largely to missions and
schools" etc., etc. 1t made me think
Of something Macaulay says about
Charles I of England. When Charles
subversion of the right of the Eng
lish people was spoken Of, his de-
tenders would say, Eyes, but he is
true to his marital VOWS" or "He is
sions is small atonement for adver-
Using for years coca beverage.
Mr. Dobbs said that Mr.. Gambler
was not the originator; that it began
as a patent medicine; was sold to
Mr. Gambler, and he advertised it as
a beverage; that the great success
oCn1SFSd Ny ClAC NOLA1PCA1J AAC1N AAC"oN
it many enemies, and graft and black
mail had repeatedly been tried upon
it by men in different State legisla-
lures; that the company now had
eight factories in different places, and
fifty-three statesmen.
1t seemed evident that the general
public had never heard much about
the suit against the United States
government by the COca-COla COM
pany for rebate of "patent" medicine
tax until l sent out a leaf1et some
time ago giving the information that
it was admitted at that trial that
there was small quantity of cocaine
in Coca-Cola. Mr. Dobbs had a copy
of the leafet in his possession and
he acted as if he did not really like
it. AS he shook the little leaf1et up
and down in his hand, he said, 'Do
you suppose we would give poison to
our own children? My children
drink Coca-Cola; if it had poison in
it, do you think I would let them
have it," And much more. When
l had a chance to speak, I said:
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-10-07


that Mr.. Dobbs said to her that Mr..
Schnell, who is the manager of the
Druggists Circular had said to him,
Advertise with us, and we will let
up on you" Upon receipt of Mrs.
Aliens letter we wrote to Mr. Dobbs
that any such statement concerning
the Druggists Circular or it's mana
ger, was "unqualifiedly FALSE and we
hereby repeat and emphasize our
statement, and challenge Mr.. Dobbs
or any one else to produce one scin-
his charge. Mrs Allen invited Mr..
Dobbs to repeat his charge in writ
ing, but he declined to do so, writing
instead that she had "misunder-
stood" his statement-a high trib-
ute, indeed, to the intelligence of
a very active and wide-awake woman!
This reduces this phase of the matter
to a question of veracity between
Mrs. Allen and Mr.. Dobbs, and every
one is entitled to make his own
choice as to which one he will be-
lieve.
Now, let's see whether the Circular
is down on" Coca-COla or the COM
pany which manufactures it. Look
ing back over our indexes for the
past twenty years, we fnd-prior to
this year-just three references to
Coca-Cola. A note in the number for,
January, 1904, page 16, in reply to-
a query from subscriber, reads: I
mo formula has been published
for this preparation so far as we carl
learn, but if the name be taken a s
its apparent meaning, it is obtainet s
from coca leaves and kola nuts, tn i
active principle of the former beir 81
cocaine and the latter caffeine. Tt
preparation is said to act as a stror 81
stimulant; and such action would,
course, result from the use of the,I
drugs"
The next note, in reply to a query
from a subscriber, is in the issue for
June, 1905, page 1911. In this note
we give practically the same infor-s
nation as is contained in the former4
one.
The third and last note appears in
the number for January, 1906, page
Is, and is principally quotation
from the brief of the attorney for the
Coca-Cola Company in the litigation
it had with the United States inter-
nal revenue department about GER
tain taxes, referred to by Mrs. Allen.
In this brief the attorney said: $50
far as the presence of cocaine is con-
cerned, in one glass of Coca-Cola
there is 1-400 of 1 grain"
This brings us down to the present
year. In the April issue, page 3O7, in
reply to a query from subscriber,
we gave an abstract of the essential
features of the previous quotation
from the Coca-Cola attorneys brief,
and in doing so inadvertently stated
that the attorney had said that one
per cent. of alcohol was used as a
preservative, when what he really
said was one-half of one per cent.

memory but they were not compli-
mentary. This | do remember clear
ly: he said that you were "down on
them because they would not adver-
tise with you; that you said, cad
vertise with us, and we will let up
on you" | told him that l had the
same information from authorities at
Washington. He said he had learned
in Washington that it was the w. G..
t. U. and the brewers who were stir
ring up the trouble there about Coca
Cola, and that the order prohibiting
the sale of Coca-Cola to the soldiers
at the army posts would soon be re-
scinded, because that beverage now
absolutely contains no cocaine
He asked me to take his word as
an honest man that it does not now
contain any cocaine. I said: "But
years ago you declared it contained
no cocaine, yet when a government
chemist found the cocaine you were
q
it's presence He said, 1--WE did not
know there was any cocaine i'm it I'M
til that trial!!" AS Mr. Gambler,
the proprietor, is a druggist, this
statement of ignorance Of the nature
of coca is beyond belief.
Mr.. Dobbs said that the suit
against the government was begun in
1902 and ran along through 1908,
and that when it developed that there
was cocaine in Coca-Cola Mr.. Gambler
declared if his product could not be
made without cocaine they would
cease to make it. Consequently they
had interviewed chemists in New
York CDR Eccles** and DR.. Louis
Schaeffer, he named) as to a method
by which they could extract the flavor
from coca leaves without taking out
any of the cocaine. This method, he
says, they are now using, and they
have a factory at haywood, N. j.,
where they make the coca extract.
He said it costs them $4,000 a year
to keep the cocaine. He also said
that most of their caffeine is taken
from tea.
[ asked why they used coca leaves
if they do not want the cocaine. He
said they must use them to retain the
right to the trade name, and that they
wanted the flavor of the leaves in the
drink.
With the flavor only of the leaves,
and with the caffeine taken from tea,
how truthful is the advertisement
which says, "To the invigorating
properties of the coca leaf are added
the sustaining qualities of the kola
mutt"
| believe that Mr. Dobbs was per-
fectly truthful in stating that cocaine
has been eliminated from Coca-Cola.
Indeed it could not we'll be otherwise
now under the pure food regulations
and with the anti-cocaine laws of
some of the States. Even Vim Mari
ami has been obliged to change in or
der to be on sale now in the State
of New York.
Yet, even with the elimination of
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-10-07


upon them was injurious. One case
related to me within a day or two
was a lad whose father said he had
become worthless in school or any
where else because of his addiction
to Coca-Cola
Mr.. Samuel Hopkins Adams was re-
ferred to by Mr.. Dobbs as having
been sent to Georgia by Golfers
Weekly to study Coca-Cola Mr..
Dobbs said that Mr. Adams could not
find any one in Georgia who had been
injured by this drink. I wrote to
Mr.. Adams about this and received
the following reply:
MIR. Dobbs has used my name not
only without authority, but in a way
to produce a false impression. What
I reported to Golfers was that I was
convinced that Coca-Cola does not
contain cocaine. I do most emphat-
ically believe that it produces habit,
not SO pronounced, indeed, as alcohol,
or morphine addiction, but neverthe-
less baneful and difficult to break.
There is too much smoke not to indi-
cate some fire, and I hear from all
parts of the South, both by letter and
personal interviews, of cases where
the addict must have his fifteen or
twenty glasses of dope (the South
ern term for Coca-Cola) per day.
81 hope most sincerely that your
organization will not, either explicitly
or by implication, give Coca-Cola a
clean bill of health
''You are at liberty to use this let
ter as you see fit"
1t is certainly true that some very
good authorities have said that caf-
feline as drug may lead to impaired
digestion and to nervous disorders.
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley is now MAX
ing Investigation of Coca-Cola and
some other soft drinks, and within a
few months we shall, no doubt, have

Meanwhile, will druggists favor
the writer by sending her brief re-
ports of cases of Coca-Cola addiction
which have come under their notice?
Names of writer's will not be pub

If the beverage is really making

DEFENDANTS IN WYOMING SHEEP
KILLING CASES GLAD TO
EFFECT SETTLEMENT.
RANGES OPEN TO SHEEP
COMPROMISE EXPECTED TO RE-
STORE PEACE AND PREVENT
FUTURE RAIoING.

Sundance, Wyo.-The noted crimi.
nal case which grew out of the raid
ing Of sheep camps and burning of
ranches Of the Rodney King Sheep
Company and the Guthrie Sheep
Company of Moorcroft and Gillette,
have been settled out OF court, the
nine defendant cattlemen paying the
sheep companies all damages, attor-
neys' fees and expenses Of prosecution
and agreeing to not again molest the
sheepmen. Valuable range in dispute
was also left to the sheepmen.
Last December the following we'll
known cattlemen of this county were
arrested, after two of them were re-
ported to have confessed to Joe La
Fors, the detective who trapped Tom
Horn: Orfn Squires, George Martin.
Sam Mexican, Dan Mossburg, Jeff
MulholIand. Stanley Baugh, Andy Nc
kean, Isaac Mexican, Henry thinner
shield.
According to the confession OF
Squires and Martin, who afterwards
repudiated the confession, the first
raid was committed by the nine men
August 81. 1908, when the Barry
ranch Of the Guthrie Company, and
the Arch Creek ranch of the King
company were destroyed. with sheep
wagons, hay. etc. From then until
Aheir arrest the nine men are alleged
to have been implicated in four 9TH
er raids upon camps of the same COM
panies
Before starting on the raids the
raiders, 1t is said, entered into death
compact whereby, If any member of
the gang divulged what happened, he
was to be killed by the others. After
confessing to La Fors, Martin and
Squires were separated and kept in
jail. Squires was offered bail. but
preferred to remain in Jail for fear his
pals would kill him.
Recently both men were released
and both went back on their confes-
sions, but the prosecutions continued
until a few days ago, when attorneys
for the defendants offered the COM
promise which has been accepted.
The outcome marks big victory for
flockmasters who have been patient
sufferers for years, but who demand
enforcement OF laws, and will prose
cute raiders. backed by the State AS
sociation Of Woolgrowers.
