HAS JEFFERSON
DAVIS old DESK
John Sharp Williams, Missssippl's
Junior Senator, Realized Fond
Ambition.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Washington, April John Sharp
Williams, the new junior senator from
Mississippi, has succeeded in a life
time ambition. He has been given
the seat in senate occupied by Jeffer-
son Davis, the president of the Con-
federacy.
The desk still bears the bayonet
marks made by union soldiers in war
time in an effort to destroy 1t.
No new member of the senate who
has entered the body in recent years
received a more cordial greeting from
colleagues than that accorded to the
brilliant Mississippi statesman.
After Senator Williams had been
presented to the bar of the senate his
colleague, Senator Leroy Percy, and
the oath of office administered, he
was Immediately surrounded by mem
bers of the body who extended their
hearty congratulations. The recep'
tion given him by democratic mem
bers amounted almost to an ovation.
Many beautiful bouquets Of flowers
were sent to the new senator by his
admirers, the floral offerings from
former Mississippians now residing
in Washington being especially nu
merous.
1t is the prevailing opinion in ma
tional legislation circles that the nev
member from Mississippi is destine'
to become one of the recognized lead
ers in the senate, and that the quail
: ties of his leadership will be quickl
made manifest.

At conference this afternoon it was
agreed to support a man against Sena-

have been clearly established. 1t was
decided to present the names of either
Senator Culbertson or Senator Stone.
Both declined to allow their names
used. A second conference of the
progressive Democrats, the election OF

C9CA-COLA wins
PART OF ITS FIGHT

Chattanooga, Tenn, April Coca
cola won part of its fight against the
governments case yesterday when
Judge Sanford sustained in a decree
the defense's motion for pre-emptory
instructions in its favor.
He sustained the motion on the point
that caffeine, which is found in coca
cola syrup, was not a deleterious in
gredient. However, he overruled the
motion on points relating to the mis-
branding feature, holding that those
we're questions for the jury to pass
upon. Thereupon the court directed
the jury to return verdict for the de
fense on those points which he sus
tanned, which was done.
Government counsel entered appea
to the United States circuit court o
appeals at Cincinnati.
