 Guessing

Chattanooga, March 27-The testimony of well known medical and scientific writers contrary to statements contained in their own works, was feature of today's proceedings in the trial of the United States against the Coca-cola com pany. pr. R. tC. Witthaus, professor Of chemistry and toxicology, New York, who was on the stand in continuation of his testimony, begun Saturday, had stated that caffeine, one of the alleged ingredients of coca-cola, was not pois- on. He was confronted by his own book in which he had declared that caf- feine was a poison and had cited 13 cases of fatal poisoning by the drug. He explained this by saying that he had read the statement in some other work, and had copied it in his own, but had forgotten it.
 pr. Horatio c. Wood. pharmacologst and professor-.of medicine in the Phil adelphia Therapeutical college, had also written book, in which he had stated that caffeine was powerful muscle poison. He stated on the stand today that he had eXperimented with caffeine on the muscles of frogs, and that in one case poison was present in the muscles ~N~N~- there was no poison. He stated that calf feine was not a muscle poison, and when the passage in his own work was read, he explained, as pr. Witthaus, that he had copied the matter from some other work He then admitted that not everything in his book was true. It is also stated in his book that caffeine stimulates the kidneys to great activity and the work also cites cases of caf- feine poisoning.
 pr. John Marshall, professor of chem istry and toxicology of the University of Pennsylvania declared that the text books did not treat caffeine as pois- on Government attorneys presented sev- eral of these and cited several cases of caffeine poisoning. Dr. Marshall finally admitted that he was wrong in his statement
 Dr. Charles S. Chandler, professor of chemistry, Columbia university, New York, stated positively that caffeine was not a poison. He had analysed coca cola and found it to contain one and one-four grains of caffeine to each ounce of syrup. He declared it was not harmful and would not injure health.

He marries an other woman at midnight in the gypsy camp; robs her father, Kills him, and com mts every other offense of which man could be guilty Finally 1t all ends well, the right people are happily ma ried and the audience leaves the the atre well satisfied
 There is plenty of action; the com. pany is a capable one for a melodra ma and Donna Lee makes a big hit In the original character of Buisco, always ready with her trusty revolver, al ways on hand to rescue the proper D ople.

TEXAS WAR CLOUD REFUSES ID VANISH Soldier Boys Excited Over the Rumor of Diaz's
 Resignation

San Antonio, Tex, March PA rumor, which was considered locally as much in need of fumigation, was received here to- night 10 the effect that Porfiro Diaz had resigned as president of Mexico. The rumor could be traced to very doubtful sources and was then lost. No one con versant with conditions in Mexico. and in particular with the characteristics of the "Iron Man of Mexico" places the faintest credence in the rumor This includes members of the local junta
 Meanwhile the remnant of the San An tonic war cloud remains. It consists of the fact that the railroads are in hourly readiness to take troops south. Not only are the cars here, as has been reported previously, but the quartermaster's de- partment has been assured that motive power to move them would be obtainable on short notice.
 This adds dab of fray to the cloud, but meanwhile the army is almost re- signed to the fate of mere maneuvers.
 The arrival of De la Barra, the new Mexican foreign minister, at the Mexican capital, however, 1t is hoped, will lead to the publicity of matters which have been enigmatcal here.
