JONAH-WHALE STORY
TRUE, PREACHER SAYS
eff Incredible, Other Miracles
Are Not Credible" Rev. E. E.
Holmes Tells Methodists

If the story of Jonah and the fish is in
credible then the story of the fiery furnace
the raising of Lazarus and other miracles
conviction that the critics feel that God is
in tight place and it's up to them to help
Him out, was the concluding statement OF
the Rev. DR.. E. E. Helms of Calvary NJ. e
Church, West Philadelphia. in a paper on
Jonah and the Whale-Historic Not AL
legoric," which he read this morning be-
fore the weekly meeting of Methodist Epis'
copal ministers at 10th and Arch streets.
God always adopts His method to our
manner" said DR.. Helms. 'He always
brings His plan down to our plane The
Chaldeans found everything by searching
the stars; the Egyptians through magic, the
followers of Baal through fire, as fire-wor-
shippers The ten plaques of Egypt were
ten successive strokes at ten Egyptian
deities. Nebuchadnezzar believed in
dreams Joseph used a divining cup, an
Egyptian heather vessel, and the people of
Ninevah the capital of the Assyran En-
pire relgiously worshiped Dagon, the fish,
god-part man and part fish,
Bringing His plan down to their plane"
continued DR.. Helms, God sent message
to them out of the sea to warn them of
threatened danger or impending DOOM"
AS most of the leading members were alb
sent at the General Conference, at Sara
toga Springs, NJ Y, discussion of the paper
was postponed.
Next week the meeting will be devoted
to hearing the men who visited the General
Conference and viewed 1t from the "out.
side"

tion adopted by Houston, Tex, and with
a view to obtaining first-hand information
will be addressed by ]. J. Pastoriza,
Finance and Tax Commissioners of the
Texas city for three successive terms.
That the s67,lOO,OOO transit and port
loan and the s47425,OOO general improve
ment loan will both be reported favorably
to Councils at Wednesdays meeting is
foregone conclusion, as every member of
the Finance Committee has already voted
favorably for both measures. The fact that
the voters. by overwhelming majority,
have given approval to the measures makes
any other action by the committee i'm
possible.

WILD SCENE MARKS
METHODTSTS' SESSION
Conference Refuses to Overturn
Plan to Elect Additional
Officials

SARATOGA SPRINGS. n. Y. May ga
Following wild scene on the floor of the
conference, in which delegates shouted for
recognition and drowned out the voices of
the speakers who were on the platform, the
general conference of the Methodist Episco-
padl church today refused to overturn the
previous action by which seven general
superintendents and three missionary Bish-
ops were determined upon.
AT the opening of the session a resolution
was presented by Ex-Governor Frank Han
ley, of Indiana, that the election of mis-
sionary Bishops to Malaysia and Africa be
indefinitely postponed; that an episcopal
residence be fixed for Africa and a general
superintendent be assigned; that the pres
ent missionary Bishops be elected general
superintendents.
Opponents of the resolution vigorously
attacked it,
The conference was almost hopelessly in
volved in a confusion of motions and
amendments when a motion to lay the
whole matter on the table was adopted by
an overwhelming majority. The conference
afterward considered a part of the reso-
luton and voted to postpone indefinitely the
selection of missionary Bishop to Malaysi

COCA COLA LOSES ITS
FIGHT IN SUPREME COURT
Long Legal Controversy Ended
by Decision That Preparation
Is Misbranded

WASHINGTON. May 22.-The Govern
ment today won an important legal victory
when the Supreme Court OF the United
States reversed n decision of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals in the long
legal controversy as to whether Coca Cola
comes under the ban of the Federal pure
food law
The high courts opinion was read by
Justice Hughes. and was adverse to the
Coca Cola Company's contentious
The Coca Cola case originated in Chat
tanooga, when the Government seized 40
barrels and 20 kegs of Coca Cola on the
ground that II was adulterated and mis-
branded. The charge of adulteration was
biased on the fact that Coca Cola contains
caffeine, injurious to the health OF children
and nervous persons. The charge of mis-
branding was based on the fact that while
there are two such substances having trade
names as cocoa and cola. Coca Cola vir-
tually contains neither coca nor cola. These
articles are present in Coca Cola in the
ratio of one part TO $4,000 parts of the
drink,
According to the Coco-Cola Company its
product contains sugar, water, caffeine,
glycerne lime juice and other flavoring
matters. AS used by the consumer. about
one ounce of syrup is taken in a glass,
mixed with about seven ounces of car
donated water. so that in the average drink
the consumer gets 1.2i grains of caffeine
In the manufacture OF the syrup, certain ex.
tracts from the leaves of the coca shrub and
the nut kernels of the cola tree were used
for the purpose of obtaining flavor.
The Government maintained that the
pure-food law forbids the suggestive and
misleading names of known articles.
whether used in combination or not and
whether the deception be about the article
itself or its ingredients. The Government
contended that II coca-cola may be sold
without containing a material amount of
either coca and cola, then chocolate
vanilla" syrup may be sold without con.
tanning either chocolate or vanilla.

SHAMOKIN Is WITHOUT
FUNDS AND MAY DISBAND
Unpaid Players Refuse to Go to
Harrisburg for Penna. State
League Game

SHAMOKIN. Pa. May 22-The PennsyI-
vania State League already has started to
have its troubles. The game scheduled be-
tween Shamokin and Harrisburg for this
afternoon may not be played The Shamo-
kin players refused to leave this city this
morning for Harrisburg because OF unpaid
salaries.
The team has not been drawing we'll and
the club has been running at a loss since
the season opened, and it was rumored here
that the club likely will disband, due to the
weak financial management. Unless the
other clubs In the league come to the rescue,
the local team will be disbanded or the
franchise transferred to another city.
Shamokin is not the first team in the
Pennsylvania State circuit TO feel the
weight Of the financial burden, for the
Lebanon team was unable TO operate in that
city at profit. and the franchise was
transferred 10 Mt. Carmel, where they drew
large crowd at the first game. A change
may prove profitable to the Shamokin man
