Chattanooga, Tenn, March "a
When the defense resumed its side in
the case of the government against
forty barrels and twenty kegs of coca
cola" this morning, DR.. G. Vaughan, of

stand detailing experiments he had
made on guinea pigs.
He said caffeine which is in the
drink, is not habit forming substance
in the sense Of creating a desire for
constantly increasing quantities; caf-
feline used as a beverage in ordinary
quantities had no depressing effects,
he asserted.
Mr.. Miller produced chart purport-
ing to be caffeine's family tree" show
ing the constituent OF cafretne-theo-
phylin, parazanthinl and theobromin.
Cross examination at length endeav-
ored to shake Dr. Faughan's testi-

had made on guinsa pigs. with little
success. Two of the pigs receiving
caffeine and one OF the control" pigs
that had been givn no caffeine died

LEE CHRISTMAS
AMERICAN HERO
IN HONDURAS
coLoR-sLIND ENGINEER. FIRED
FROM SERVICE, NOW GOVERN
OR or A PRovINcE-eovERNs
MANY PEOPLE.

Houston. Texas, March z4.-It's no
longer General Lee Christmas. but
Governor Lee Christnas, OF the de-
partmeEs Of Cortez, Spanish Honduras.
Thus has the rev government reward
ed the services of the American soldier
Of fortune and fortunate insurrecto.
Nothing could combine In this TWEEN
tfeth century more Of romance than
the story Of this same Christmas.
He was born In Louisiana, and his
youthful ambition was to run q freight
train He succeeded. and then one day
he was told to report to the oculist for
eye test. That finished Christmas with
the railroad business: he was told he
couldn't tell red light from q green
one.
There wasn't much Of a livelihood for
a color blind engineer. so Christmas
walked the New Orleans streets till
they led to wharf. and thence found
himself on a steamer. He didn't in
quire where she was bound, and 1t
wasn't until they were out to sea and
the purser asked for his fare, that he
asked where the boat was going and
paid his fare to Puerto Cortez, Hon
duras.
That was Kismet. There was rev.
olution In Honduras. and they wanted
recruits. Christmas hitched up with
Manuel Bonilla and speedily won fame
and cash. too. He got to be a briga-
der general and then police chief of
Tegucigalpa- After affairs became
quiet in Honduras Christmas nego-
tiated for service with Castro. but be-
fore he concluded arrangements. more
trouble broke loose where he was and
he went to the front, as usual.
His good fortune did not desert him
even when he was captured In Mica
ragua and lined up against q wall to
be shot They asked him politely If
he had last request to make, and he
said he had 1t was this: He did not
want his body buried. OF course they
inquired why. and Christmas said:
Because I want the buzzards to eat
Il and scatter It's remains over every
