The flames broke out at widely separated points and were all speedily quenched by the em. ployees before serious damage result. ed. The cause of the several fires is in doubt and there seems to be no ex- planation. In one instance It was only through the most heroic efforts that the flames were prevented from com municating to a large quantity of powder stored ready for shipment.
 The employees succeeded In remov- ing the explosives by quick action but

There Is a general feeling among the employees that there Is a hoodoo of some sort attached to the plant owing to the great number of explosions and fires which have occurred at intervals dur ing the past several months. While few Of the occurrences have been of great seriousness, on several occas sions the destruction of the entire plant with the possible loss of the army of employees has been averted only by a scant margin, and in several instances the escape has been nothing short of miraculous.

APPLETON IS BADLY DAMAGED BY STORM
Medical Aid Called for From BrewtOn-NO Fatalities
 Reported

Montgomery, February 2S.-Meager in- formation from Brewton tonight says a cyclone at o'clock this afternoon prac- tically demolished the small town of Appleton, 10 miles away, destroying the home and store of J. B. O'Bannon, as well as other property. Medical aid was called for from Brewton, but the extent of injuries or fatalities has not been re- ported. The storm appeared to be gen. eral in central Alabama extending from east of Brewton, south of this city, to Clanton, 50 miles north Heavy rains and hailstorms visited each section.
 Reports at midnight from various points in central Alabama indicate the storm confined itself to heavy rains and hail, except in the vicinity of Appleton, where the cyclone did considerable prop erty damage. No fatalities have been reported, but direct communication with Appleton has been cut off since early in the night.

UNIQUE DECISION IN
 CAN COMPANY CASE
 IS GIVEN BY JUDGE
tContinued from Page one>

the last few years but some of the governments s charges of unfair practices in the past were sustained. Judge Rose held, however, that he would take the course indicated unless one or the other of the parties insist on his entering such final decree as will enable them to seek at once review by a higher tribunal. If either of them do,' he said, in conclusion, 'T am not prepared now to say that they will not be within their rights and that it will not be my duty to do what they ask. That ques- tion is reserved until the occasion for deciding it shall arise."
 Before announcing his conclusion, Judge Rose stated that he was frankly re- luctant to destroy so finely adjusted an industrial machine as the record shows the defendant to be. Yet, the govern ment, too, has it's rights. and has thus far been properly insistent upon them.
 'The government recognizes that the situation which existed before defendant was formed, cannot be restored. What it principally fears is that the defendant will, to the public prejudice, hereafter dangerously use the strength which it gained by it's original law breaking If this petition be dismissed upon it's merits and without qualification, defend- ant might be entitled to claim in any future proceeding that nothing here in issue may be there used against it. Nor would dismissal without prejudice all together meet the case"

 The German offensive on the west ern front is again commanding atten- ton, it's renewed outbreak having re- suited in what looks to be important breaches in the French lines in the Artois while efforts to push back the French lines near Verdun also had some measure of success.
