SEEKING ATIANTA'S
RECKLESS SPENDER

New York, March %. - United
States secret service agents are on
the close trail of Edward ". Lee, the
pay-master's clerk of the battleship
Georgia. who disappeared from that
vessel on the night OF Feb. II when
the feet was in Guantanamo bay.
The secret service men believe the
young man who cut wide swath at
Atlanta under the name of A w
Carmichael Of Buenos Ayres. who
created a sensation by the reckless
expenditure Of several thousand dol
lars in one day, was the fugitive
paymaster's clerk. The theft Of the
$500 from the battleship Geor-
gia and the esca pc OF Lee was one OF
the most sensational and daring incl
dents Of its kind in recent history Of
the navy. The young clerk is % years
old and enlisted from Kentucky Sew
eraI years OF efficient service in the
navy earned for him the promotion TO
the paymaster's bureau aboard the
Georgia, and large sums Of money. con
shutting the salaries Of the officers and
crew were in his care
When the Atlantic feet was al
Guantanamo Lee obtained permission
to take shore leave on Feb. IL Watch
paymaster's office and with a heavy
axe smashed the door OF the safe. took
$4,000 in bills Of large denomination
and then calmly went over the battle
ships side to the shore cutter. He had
fully four hours start before the rob
berry was discovered
Then Rear Admiral Schroeder, COM
handing the Atlantic fleet, ordered
messages sent to Havana, Santiago
and other Cuban cities for the police
to be on the lookout for Lee. Despite
this net Of teIegraphic warnings the
youth succeeded in escaping TO the
United States.
1t has been learned that he landed
in Mobile, Ala. and from that city he
went to Jacksonville. Fla, but his
whereabouts until he blew into" At
lanta continued to be a mystery
1t Is the belief Of the police, who are
working in cooperation with the sec
ret service agents, that Lee is now on
board a steamship bound for a Euro
pean or Mediterranean port. He prob
ably took passage aboard a steamship
leaving the latter part of last week
Cable advces asking for his arrest and
giving his description have been sent
to Europe by the government.

CAFFEINE IN COFFEE.
TEA AND COCA COLA

Chattanooga. March 25-All who
could crowd into the federal court
room in the customs house yesterday
listened with deep interest 10 the
testimony offered by the defense in
the now famous coca cola case in
which the United States government
is making an effort 10 prove that the
drink is injurious 10 the public
health and that is not PROPERLY
labelled.
The first witness. DR.. John
William Mallet professor Of chemis-
try in the University of Virginia
filed a chart, showing the relative
amounts of caffeine contained in a
cup of coffee and glass OF coca cola
as sold at soda fountains. He said
he had analyZed several cups of tea
and found il TO contain 154 grains
caffeine 10 the cup. In coffee he said
the caffeine averaged La grains and
that coca cola contained 1.21 grains
TO the glass. He claimed that he had
analysed the mysterious ''Merchan-
disc No ,, the principal ingredient
Of coca cola, and found that it con-
tanned coca leaves, alcohol. kola nut
wine, tannin and caffeine. He under
took 10 say that he could distinguish
tannin made from cola leaves from
that made of tea leaves and other
leaves. On cross-exa mination Dr.
| Mallet admitted that there was more
tannin in tea leaves than in cola
leaves. He said that caffeine used
in beverages in moderate amounts
was not harmful TO the human sys-
tenn. but admitted that the drug used
to excess in such drinks would have
deleterious effect. He expressed
the opinion that caffeine is not
habit-forming drug
Charles A. Caspare. a chemist of
st. Louis, followed Dr. Mallet He
said he had analyzed coffee served in
various restaurants of Chattanoo-
ga, having samples from ten of those
places. He found that it contained
an average of 1.S7 grains of caffeine
to the cup. He had examined the
plant of the Coca Cola Company in
Atlanta where the syrup is manufac-
tured and considered il in sanitary
condition.
DR.. Vaughn. who qualified as
chemist and toxicologist, said that
coffee was used in the army and in
the hospitals of the United States and
that he did not think caffeine as used
in coffee was harmful. He did not
think that coca cola taken in mode
ration was harmful TO the human
system although he said that excess
sive used of caffeine would be dele
terious. 1t would depend on the
amount taken and the manner in
which it was used. 1t is thought the
hearing of the case will consume all
of this week and next, and may run
into the following week

Origin: Of Coal.

Coal Is of vegetable origin. When
vegetable matter accumulates under
waterssit lndergoes@ a slow process OF
decomposition, giving of its nitrogen,
hydrogen, oxygen and some carbon,
the result of which If carried far
enough is the formation of a mass of
carbon. Peat found often in swampy
tracts, is the first stage in the coal
forming process, and the further
stages are: formed by the burial of
these vegetable deposits under great
loads of sediment, where they become
subject to pressure and sometimes to
heat: This effects a series Exchanges,
consolidation and loss of oxygen and
gives series Of products whose ma.
ture depends on the degree to which
the originals vegetable matter has been
changed. The products are known as
ignite, bituminous coal and anthracite
coal, ~~
