 President Taft made a 75-mile motor trip this afternoon to Waynesboro, Ga and return. The route lay through a part of the rich cotton belt of the state and MT. Taft saw many workers In the field preparing the soil for planting.
 On his way out of the city the Presi- dent stopped for few minutes at the Shiloh negro orphan school. The chill dren sang for him and one led in a fervent prayer which the others fol- lowed. sentence by sentence. One of the songs, r We Greet Our President. was especially arranged for the occa- sion.
 Mrs. Taft and a party of friends ac- companied the President. At Waynes- boro they were guests at tea of MT. and Mrs. Frank Wilkins. Mrs. Wilkins. formerly a resident of Louisiana, pre- pared several quaint creole dishes for the party.
 When the President went to the golf links today there was a sprig of green on his coat lapel in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
 The Presidents vacation is ending as he desired. Very few state papers have been forwarded to him from Washington. MT. Taft has left the de- tails of the Mexican situation entirely to the officials at the capitol.

Taft Is Delighted With
 Arbitration ApproUals

Augusta, Ga., March 17-President Taft has followed with keenest interest the discussion of the last few days in the English parliament on the subject Of the international arbitration treaty, proposed by him. He is delighted with the manner in Great Britain as indicated by the speeches of Sir Edward Grey, the minis~ ter for foreign affairs, and MT. Balfour, representing the opposition. the treaty may be adopted by both coun- tries, and believes it will be great step toward the abolition of war. And, with war practically impossible between the two great English-s speaking nations, there is every reason to hope according to the Presidents view, that other nations may come into such agreement and thus make for universal peace
 presson that the proposed treaty involved an offensive and defensive alliance be- tween the United States and Great Brit ain. This is an error The treaty Is disputes, including even those of national honor and territory, shall be settled in an arbitral court
 British approval of the proposed pact has not come to the President as a surprise. In all of his recent con-

drug and that as used in coca-cola would have a tendency to injure the human system; that 1t would temporarily excite and apparently stimulate the spinal cord, the kidneys, the heart and the brain, but organs would be left in depleted condi- tion; that the stimulation was a false stimulation, and exhaustion would nat urally follow. Dr. Musser stated that he had treated many patients for the caf- feine habit that caffeine was habit forming drug.
 Dr. Cohen advanced the same theory as the other witnesses and asserted that caffeine was habt-forming drug; that it melted a morbid craving which had to be supplied by this or some similar stimulant. Dr. Cohen expressed the opin- ion that the constant use of coffee, which contained caffeine, was deleterious, but not so much so as when used in coca cola. He said the other natural con- stituents in coffee prevented or neutral ized the influence of caffeine, while the constituents mixed with caffeine in coca cola, such as carbonated water, aided the assimilation of caffeine in the sys- tenn and was therefore more harmful.
 There will be a short session of court tomorrow, after which court will be ad- journed until g o'clock Monday morn ing.
 It is thought the government will close it's case about Tuesday of next week and the defense will require at least week to complete the taking of testimony

MEDICAL MEN SAY
 COCA-COLA IS HARMFUL

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 17.-Some of the most prominent medical men of the United States were witnesses today in the case of the government against sev- eral barrels and kegs of coca-cola, on trial in the federal court here. They were Dr. Oliver T. Osborne, professor of materia medica, therapeutics and clin- ical medicine in Yale medical college Dr. s. Soils Cohen, professor of clinical medicine, Jefferson Medical college, Phila- deiphia pr. John H. Musser, professor of clinical medicine, University of Penn sylyania
 The testimony of the day all tended to show that caffeine was and is a com ponept part of the drink coca-cola. Dr. Osborne stated that caffeine is durg that 1t is poisonous in it's tendency, and caffeine as served in the drink coca-cola would have the action of a drug and would be harmful, especially to children, women and those men who have a tend encyN to nervousness; that the average dose of caffeine was one-fourth of a gfain for a child of years of age and one-half grain for a child 10 years old and one grain for an adult. He statet as fact that glass of coca-cola con tains one and one-fourth grains of caf- feine and single glass taken by a child would be harmful. He considered the use of caffeine in coca-coa, if taken con- .tinuously, would be harmful.
