POPULAR DRINK
IS UNDER FIRE
Coca Cola Declared to Contain
Caffeine, a Dangerous Drug

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 20.-But
one witness was put on the stand Sat-
urday in the hearing OF the case OF
the United States against the Coca
Cola company in the federal court in
this city. DR.. Maurice vejux Tyrode,
of Harvard, testified to the effect that
coca cola contains caffeine and that
caffeine Is dangerous drug.
All the witnesses during the week
testified that coffee and tea contained
a certain amount of caffeine, but all
have insisted that the effect is not so
harmful in coffee as in coca cola, on
account of the natural oils In coffee
which Offset the effect of the drug.
However the attorneys for the coca
cola people have insisted on all the
experts saying just what effect caf-
feline in coffee has on the human sys-
tenn, what amount of the so-called
drug is contained in stipulated
amount of coffee and the possible
danger. This is taken to indicate that
the case will not stop with the coca
cola matter if this drink should be
eliminated as a result of the present
hearing.
1t is probable that DR.. Wiley, CHIEF
of the bureau of foods and drugs OF
the agricultural department at Wash.
ington, will be among the first wit.
nesses to be heard during the early
portion of this week.

FAST TRINITY
DONNED ELON
The Result Of The Game Played
Here Saturday ,Ailernoon-7to

The fast Trinity team demon
strated for the second time this sea-
son their heavy hitting qualities by
landing on Pearson, of Elon college,
for eleven hits and taking the game
from that institution Saturday by the
score of seven to two. The game
was shut out for the visitors until
the seventh inning when Hedgepeth
for Elon, secured one of the two lone
hits made by the visitors, and fate
lent helping hand in the shape Of
two expensive er rs by Trinity,
which put two more men on bases,
and rather bungling attempt on the
part of Trinity to catch a man be-
tween first and second, when one of
Elon's players was on third. When
the smoke cleared away and quiet
was restored ii was found that Elon
had scored two runs. Neither of these
was earned, and, but for the misad-
venture of the bungled seventh, the
game would have been shut out, as
~ cnouid AafC DCtHs nc htldihS va
both teams was decidedly off, total
of nine errors being charged up to
both sides. Some OF these, it must
be admitted, we're inevitable on ac-
count of the difficulty OF the chances
but the scorer is not permitted the
exercise of any clemency. being com.
PEELED TO group the eycusable and in
excusable under a common head.
The game witnessed the first ap
pearance OF Maddox behind the ba
and Anderson at second. The per
iformance of the former in Saturday
game was entirely satisfactory HI
will be a decided reinforcement I,
lTrinity's catching squad. Anderson
is one of the finds of the year, ant
his work on second base, despite tw'
unfortunate errors, was of the high
est order. His two hits in Saturday
game shows that he can bat as wei
as field. OF the regulars, Bundy AM
Thompson were the particular star
at the bat, each of them securing
three hits. Gannt, S., was in tn
box for the first time this year, show
ing marked improvement over hi
form of last year. He struck out 81
men and maintained fine contro
throughout the game. Sparrow, TO
the visitors did some phenomena
