after 2 o'clock this morning. What the

who telephoned to fire headquarters
Engine Company No. IL was started to
the scene but as the glare of the flames
was plainly seen from the city Hall
tower, Operator Gullett turned in an
alarm as from Box 513, corner of RAN
dolph and Winder Streets, to which sew
eral neighboring companies responded
The neighborhood was greatly
alarmed, but the blaze was confined
to the building in which it originated.
Mr. Meyer was unable to give any
statement of loss or damage this morn
ing, as he had been unable to enter
the wrecked store, embcrs of which
were still blazing, to see what was left.
There was partial insurance.

and Means.

Washington. December i2--The

the successful completion OF long con-
tinued negotiations looking to the

port this prohibition, ii is declared, in
view of the frightful ravages caused
by these drugs in the United States
Secretary Knox has reported to Con-
Eress that the manufacture of NOR
phia has come to be an American
monopoly with an enormous growth of
production. Cocaine. also he said, has
proved to be i creator of criminals and
of unusual forms of violence Last
year $4,000 ounces of cocaine were
Imported, while 5000 ounces would
have supplied every legitimate metli>
cal need. The conference is called TO
place the traffic in these drugs under
the control of international laws. The
conference Will seek to have the dele
gates recommend to their own govern
ments measures for the suppression of |
the growth and use of opium, NOR |
phinc and cocaine except upon ply |
sicians prescriptions: the prevention
OF the shipment of the drugs to other
countries, the control of their sale and |
use, the closing OF opium resorts and |
the extension to foreign concessions
in China of the pharmacy laws of the
various countries
The State Department is preparing
legislation to be submitted to Con-
sress to regulate the interstate traf-
fc in these drugs, and hearing viii |

revise the conspiracy, the Supreme
Court of the United States to-day went
a long way toward dispelltng doubt
as TO the, law.
The direct result of the decision is
that Gustav +. Kissel of New York.
and Thomas b. Harmed, of Philadel-
phia, must answer further to the in
dictment brought in 1909 in New York
charging them with conspiracy with
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany and others. and to drive the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company
out of business.
The indirect result Will be that the
government will find 1t easier to prose-
cute conspiracies under the Sherman
antitrust law. Instead of being re-
quired to show In an indictment
conspiracy or an overt act in further
ance thereof within three years OF the
time of Indictment, II Is said that the
accused will be required to show that
the conspiracy had been ended by
abandonment or success more than
three yeats before the Indictment.
