One hundred and six bodies had

twenty injured had been conveyed to

Many Rescued by Students.
On the tenth floor OF the building
adjoining the burned structure, is the
law department of the New York Uni
versity. Here twenty odd students
were listening to lecture by Frank
H. Sommer, former sheriff of Essex
county. He saw the smoke and saw
the girls trapped on the roof. He led
his class to the roof Of the University
quarters, where they found two lad
ders. Two boys bore these down two
flights Of the roof of an intervening
building, swarmed out of the windows
and raised them to the roof Of the
burning building Forty girls were
brought down to safety.

"Due to Neglect"
"The calamity is just what I have

was no outside fire escapes on the
building. This large death toll is due
to neglect"
The police say that today's fire is
the sixth or seventh in the building
within twelve months, all of which
they say occurred in the shirt waist
factory. The others were trifing. The
factory, incidentally, is said to be the
first in which operators struck during
the Widespread shirt waist strike sew

COCA COLA DEFENSE
Large Crowds Attend Hearing at Chat.
tanoOga in Federal COurt-Em-
inent Chemists Testify.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 23.-All
who could crowd into the Federal
court room in the customs house to-
day listened. with deep interest to the
testimony offered by the defense in
the coca cola case, which the United
States government is making an eff
fort to prove that the drink, coca cola,
is injurious to the public health, and
that it is not properly labeled.
Dr.. John WG- Nallett, professor of
chemistry in the University of Vir-
ginia,. filed a Chart showing the rela-
tive amounts Of caneine contained in
a Guy Of tea, a cup Of coffee and a
glass of coca cola as sold at soda
fountains. He said he had analyzed
several cups of tea and found it to
contain 1.54 grains of caffeine to the
cup. In coffee he said the caffeine av-
eraged 1.74 grains and that coca cola
contained 1.21 grains to the glass. He
claimed that he had analyzed the mys-
terious Merchandise No. s." the prin-
cipal ingredient Of coca cola and
found that it contained coca leaves,
alcohol, kola nut, wine tannin and
caffeine. He undertook to say that
he could distinguish tannin made from
cola leaves from that made of tea, and
other leaves. On cross examination,
DR.. Mallet admitted that there was
mare tannin in tea leaves than in cola
leaves He said caffeine used In bev-
erages in moderate amounts was not
harmful to the human system but ad-
mitted that the drug used to excess
in such drinks would have a deleter-
ious effect. He expressed the opinion
that caffeine is not a habit forming
drug.
Charles E. Caspare, chemist of st.
Louis, said he had ana1yZed coffee
served in the various restaurants of
Chattanooga, having samples from
ten of these places.
He said that it contained an aver
age Of 1.97 grains of caffeine to the
cup. He had examined the plant Of
the coca cola company in Atlanta,
where the syrup is manufactured and
considered it in sanitary condition.
DR.. Vaughn, who qualified as a
chemist and toxicologist, said that
coffee was used in the army and in
the hospitals of the United States and
he did not think caffeine as used in
coffee was harmful. He did not think
that coca cola taken in moderation
was harmful to the human system, al
though he said that excessive use Of
caffeine would be deleterious. It would
depend, he said, on the amount taken
and the manner in which it was used.

and the Governor approved a bill
last week appropriatins over
$4,000 for the payment of the
Commissions salaries and expenses
for the last two years, and the
unanlmity with which tins was
done IS taken to mean a belief in the
efficacy of this means OF enforcing
q more equitable taxation.
The commission is urging the pas
sage Of bill requiring all property
to he listed at tts market value in
stead OF the present uncertain svS-
TEN OF % to GO percent in the
various counties, at the same time
reducing the levy to a maximum OF

with considerable favor, especially
since it can be shown that the
States valuation, instead of being
less than $500, 900, 900 NAV be in
creased to as much as 81 900, ,0OO, 600
and the tax revenue greatly increas-
ed by reason OF 50 much more
property having been placed on
the tax revenue books. Both the
Commissions have strong friends,
and when either bill comes to an
issue, its opponents will find that
they have hard Shedding.
