THE FIRST TASTE

When l was a child in my moth

things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water
And so l contracted the coffee
habit early. I remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee 80
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee
But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was

night and returned verdicts to the ef-
feet that the death of the men was
due to natural causes and not to BIZ
chloride OF mercury poisoning, as was
first supposed.
The verdict in Jordans case was
that his death was due to shock caused
by injuries he had received by a fall
from a ladder, and in Rainey's case
meningitis was found TO have been the
cause OF death.
There was nothing produced at the
hearing TO show that bi-chloride Of
mercury had anything to do with the
death of the men. No traces of the
poison we're found in the stomach Of
either man ~ the chemical analysis
made by the state chemist. Or. Herbert
Watson. despite the statements made
after the men died that they had each
swallowed some the poison. A report
from DR.. Watson to this effect was
read to the jury
Or. R. e. Dunkelberg, junior resident
physician at the Delaware Hospital,
was called as a witness, but was not

mercury had been placed by mistake In

he used the stomach pump on the pa

solution. He said Rainey's death was
due to cerebro-meningitis.
DR.. Charles c. Collester, senior resi-
dent physician at the hospital. said
that in his opinion Jordan died as a
result of shock resulting from his fall
He said that the patients scalp had
been laid open and an artery cut. re-

Five minutes later they began to vomit

nations of the bodies made by him he
believed that Jordans death was due

For the seventh time an application

fact that there had been full hearing

Chief Justice Pennewill announced
that the court would take under con-

MAY SAVE THE
HOUSE OF LORDS
But Betting is 4 to | That
Liberal Coalition Will Con-
troll the Commons
ENGLAND VOTING FOR
MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Dec. 3.--That the House
Of Lords may weather the storm and
remain In possession of it's power to
veto the radical legislation fostered
by the House of Commons. Is tha
opinion more general to-day.
Although the betting on the stock
exchange was 4 to 1 that the Liberal
Labor-Irish alliance will be in the
majority IN the next House Of Com
mons as a result Of the pending cleo
tions. the bets are not that the ma
iority will be a big onei
On the other hand. IL is asserted in
many circles that the Liberals, alone
will not have as many votes AZ the
Conservatives, but would be forced
10 call on their Labor Irish allies for
votes 10 pass any measure opposed by
the Conservatives.
A victory by such a narrow mar
gin for the Liberals does not indl-
cate that King George will execute the
anti-Lords policy Of the Liberals. led
by Premier Asquith and Chancellor
Lloyd-George. Tho Liberals demand
that In the event Of a Liberal victory.
King Neorge shall create sufficient
Liberal peers I'm the House Of Lords
10 pass a bill removing the last ves-
tige of power from the Lords and max
ing the hereditery body mostly a con-
sultive institution.
Although no definite announcement
has ever been made II has been cur
rent gossip that King George has
promised Asquith. In the event OF
Liberal victory. to appoint enough
Liberal peers 10 overthrow the House
Of Lords.
II Is believed. however. that in the
event the Liberals can only poll q ma
ipority OF votes by lining up with the
Laborites and the Irish, the King viii
refuse 10 create the new peers, he
arguing that Conservative gains, even
/ n insufficient 10 constitute a major
ity, are indicative OF the popular dis
trust OF the radical action proposed
hy the Liberals.
Several constituencies will to-day
return Parliamentary members. As
these constituencies are scattered all
over England and Scotland 81 IS be,
lievcd that to-day's result VIII have
/ considerable influence over the futuul
polling as we'll as furnishing a fairly
accurate barometer Of the dnal out

On all hands 1t Is conceded to-day
that the offer OF 1000 pounds a week
(S5,O00) made to Chancellor OF the Ex-
chequer Lloyd-George by an Amer
lean vaudeville concerns will mater
tally damage the cause Of the Lib
erals.
OF the seventy constituencies being
contested to-day, 36 were Liberals in
the last Parliament; 26 we're Union
lists and s We're Laborites. In many
cases the majorities I'm these constitu-
/ encies last January were so small
that to-day's voting may easily see re-
verses.
