TO DEFINE
TRADE RULE
,upreme Court Will Pass Up
on Unfair Business
Competition
100000 In PROFITS
ARE INVOLVED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-AIore clear
" defined rules for competition in bus
mess are to be promulgated by the Su-
creme Court. Within the last few weeks
,he court has directed lower tribunals
% send up cases involving alleged un-
lair competition for decisions which
Ire expected TO be second in importance
only to the courts antitrust decisions.
The law as to patents and trade
mark. has been regarded as compara-
lively settled, but few cases involving
the domain of unfair competition" in
business have come before the court.
The gravity of the absence of definite
rules in that sphere was brought out
in bold relief before the Supreme Court
recently when a st. Louis shoe firm com
planned that its entire profit from the
manufacture and sale of a certain line
OF shoes for four years was about TO be
turned over to a Cincinatti rival. The
sum amou-ted to almost S5OO,00O.
The st. Louis firm had been guilty,
according TO the lower courts. of put
ting out shoe with name resembling
that of a competitors shoe. That was
alleged to be unfair. For the purpose
OF argument the st. Louis firm admitted
The untairness of the transaction, but
contended that the amount of its pun
ishment should only be the amount OF
business that its rival failed to get by
reason of its act. The lower court held
that was not proper rule for melting
out the proper punishment, but that
the erring company's entire profits must
be taken away. The Supreme Court
decided To review the case.
Many business concerns are said to
be anxious over the outcome of the liti-
cation. Carelessness in adopting trade
names is said to threaten them with
loss of all profits for many years. A
rapid change of trade names would prob
ably follow a decision affirming the de-
cision Of the lower court.
Another case the court has decided
TO review involves the question OF
whether a flour mill that unconsciously
adopted the same name for a brand OF
flour as used by another mill must turn
its profits over to the mill first using
the name. The point has arisen in the
case of an Illinois flour company that
developed trade for a brand of flour
in the Sous theastern States only to have
demand made in court that its bust.
ness be condemned as unfair competi.
lion" because an Ohio firm had for year;
been using the same name for -four in
Ohio.

COMMEND The
MONEY BILL
Washington Business Men
Say 1t Will Bring Better
Times
CITIES WANT THE
RESERVE BANKS

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-Business
conditions throughout the nation will
be greatly stimulated now that cur
rency reform has become an accom-
plished fact in the opinion of Wash
ington's representative business men,
bankers and others.
Almost without exception they OK
press themselves as greatly encOur-
aged over the business outlook and
declare that the enactment of cur
rency legislation is a forerunner Of
better times. Leaders in commerce
and finance here say the new cur
rency law is an excellent one and
express the belief that the possibility
of panic is now eliminated.
Active campaigning for Federal re-
serve banks TO be established under
the new system has been begun by a
half dozen big cities in different
parts of the United States and
among the scores of kilograms re-
, oeived today at the Treasury De-
partment more than half were de-
voted to laying bare the reasons for
Executive approval of the claims of
these cities.
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston,
the Organization committee" au-
thorized by the new law 20 choose the
reserve cities. considered tentative
plans for making up the list of not
less than eight and not more than
II cities to b. given Federal banks.
! Under the law the organization COM
mittee is given the utmost freedom
/ of selection. and the two cabinet Of
hcers intend to make an exhaustive
but rapid inquiry into the geographi-
cal advantages and financial rela-
tions of most of the large cities.
One plan that has been suggested
to the secretaries is that they make
a personal investigation of the claims
Of cities which are regarded as posi-
bic locations and another is that they
hold hearings in Washington. Of
ficials who favor the first plan be.
liave it can be carried out more
quickly and TO greater advantage by
reason of the number OF persons who
could be reached. A decision proba-
bly, will be announced within few
days.
The campaign for a reserve banl
has been pressed most vigorously by
Seattle, Wash. Scores of telegram'
we're received today from bankers
and business men of Seattle pointini
out its proximity to Alaska, which IL
TO be included in the system, its ad
vantages as a financial center an'
urging other reasons for giving it
reserve bank. According to on
telegram, Seattle is planning a BIZ
demonstration to celebrate the en-
actment of the law and to boom he
chances for getting a bank.
Kansas City, Mo-, is making simi
lar fight, with the support of man
nearby cities. Minnesota banks an
business houses took up the cudgel
today in behalf of ST. Paul and Mir
ncapolis, and bankers in the Sout
are speaking up in favor Of Atlant;
New orleans and Dallas Baltimor
and Philadelphia are rivals for on
bank. Altogether 1T promises to b
lively for the organization commit

Below are given tables for the ath-
letics at Fort Dupont for the year
1913. These tables, at a glance, give
the results Of the various branches
of sport that have been held at the
fort
The tables for the grand trophy, a
bronze tablet, suitably engraved, show
that the 112th Company has a lead
of % points over the 45th Company,
which in turn has a still smaller lead
of eight points over the 139th Com

The result OF the soccer league will
probably determine the winners OF
this trophy. This tablet is to be kept
