near the maximum to attract much

from Chicago said that the character
of the corn arriving there is the poor

thought to be good illustration of
the urgent need. The demand for No.

London.-The Norwegian steamer
Havna, Of 1,150 tons gross, has been
torpedoed without warning. She sank
in less than one minute. The crew
of 18 had no time to launch boat and
jumped into the sea- The captain and
five survivors were landed here. The
captain of the Havna fears the remain
der of the crew were drowned. With
five companions Captain Hermansen
spent a terrible night on a raft, ex'
posed to intense cold. They found an
upturned lifeboat at dawn and man
aged to right her. They had drifted
about for so hours, when rescued by
an American destroyer. One man died
in delirium; the feet of the others

the men struggling in the icy water,
said Captain Hermansen, but did not

BURNING OIL FOR GERMANS
Ohio Experimenters Said to Have
Found New Method Of Hurling
Fire at the Enemy.

Marietta, O., March 6.-Following the
periments Of several months oil men
In the local fields have perfected q
new method Of throwing burning oil
which optimists say will literally per.
NIT the United States to "burn its way
to Berlin"
The process will be offered the gov.
ernment within a short time.
The idea, as near as can be learned
is to spray the oil into the enemy
trenches In much the same fashion as
liquir fire is used, though the results
are not nearly SO horrible.
An intense heat, coupled with dense
smoke and a gas which will overcome
any living thing In Its path is the real
feature of the new medicine for kaiser.
ism, according to those who have wit.
messed the experiments.

HIGH COURT RULINGS
Firm Wins Case of Importance in
Patented Goods.
Tribunal Rules Patentee Cannot Re-
serve Right to Fix Price at Which
Article Is to Be Resold.

Washington, March 6.-Decrees de-
nying the right of patentee under the
patent laws to control the resale of an
article, were entered by the Supreme
court.
A patentee, the court held, cannot in
selling his article to another, reserve
the right BY contract to fix the price
at which It Is later to be resoid. =
This Interpretation of the patent
laws was made by the court in answer
ing questions certified by the lower
courts In injunction proGeeuIngs re-
straining the Boston store of Chicago
from selling records in violation of
a contract made with the American
Graphophone company, for less than
official list prices.
The opinion Is Of vital Importance,
affecting not only 5000 dealers in
graphophone records, bound by similar
contracts, but also thousands of deal
ers in many other articles, the retail
prices of which are fixed by the man
ufacturers.
The "call rule" for grain ito arrive"
established in 1905 by the Chicago
board of trade, was held by the Su-
preme court not to be in restraint Of
trade under the antitrust law.
Injuctions issued by Federal District
Judge Lands restraining the rules op-
GRAFTON were set aside.
Board of trade officials contended
the rule increased instead Of decreased
competition and prevented monopoly,
but it was resclnded after the govern
ment's suit was filed in 1913.
Federal court DEGREES dismisslng in
junction proceedings to restrain Ak
ron, O., from constructing a dam and
taking water from the Cuyahoga river
were sustained by the Supreme court.
Denial that injuctions restraining
union miners officials from organizing
employees of the Hinchman Coal and
Coke company in West Virginia had
been violated was made in the Su-
preme court in briefs filed by PreSi-
dent Frank J. Hayes and other Off
cials of the United Mine Workers of
America.
Miners officials claim that If there
was falling-off in the production of
the Hinchman mines it was not due
to labor troubles.
Federal courts have no jurisdiction
over bribery at general elections, the
Supreme court decided in upholding
DEGREES sustaining demurrers to indict-
ments in the Cincinnati election fraud
cases.
Arkansas, in the Supreme court to.
day, in effect won it's proceedings to
determine the boundary line between
that state and Tennessee.

PLANNING TO SAVE POTATOES
Session of Food Administrators From
Many States Discusses the Prob

Chicago, March 6.-Plans to save
millions of bushels of potatoes now In
the hands of farmers of the middle
West were discussed here at session
of food administrators from Michigan,
Wisconsin, Indiana and Minnesota
with Harry A. Wheeler administrators
of Illinois. An effort will be made to
stimulate the movement of potatoes.
Because of the big supply on hand,
due to transportation difficulties, it is
believed that potatoes will be cheap
this summer.

PACKERS GIVEN A RESPITE
investigations by Federal Trade Com
mission at Chicago Have Been
Indefinitely Postponed.

Chicago, March 6-Middle Western
packers won a temporary respite from
investigations being conducted by the
federal trade commission when 1t was
announced that the inquiry here had
been indefinitely postponed pending
the decision of the United States cir
cult court of appeals on the legality
of the search warrants upon which pa.
pers in the vaults Of Henry. Veeder,
counsel for Swift & Co., were seized.
Hating of the inquiry Is believed
to indicate that further evidence
which Francis J. Heney, attorney for
the trade commission, wishes to pre-
sent is tied up by the fight on the
Veeder search warrant.
