FEDERAL COURT DECIDES
AGAINST RULING OF THE
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

Newport News. Va, Nov. 2.-The
United States circuit court of ap-
reals at Richmond yesterday ruled
that the federal trade commission had
exceeded its authority when it re-
strained Hampton Roads ship chan

business.
The judge held that neither of the
two firms in question. the Norden
Ship Supply company and the d. A.
Winslow & Company, was engaged in
interstate or foreign commerce and
could not be regulated.

 SET-UP CONCLAVE
GadSden Session Is Largely Attended and Effective Plans
 Are Adopted

Attalla, April 29.-( Special. lone of the most largely attended meetings of similar nature held thus far in the North Alabama conference was the set-up meeting in the Christian educa- tion movement held at the First Meth odist church in Gadsdeu Thursday. About so delegates, including pastors, directors and chairmen of minute men. from the 22 charges of the district were present.
 The meeting. which was presided over by Dr. A. w Rails. district direc- tor. was addressed by Dr. J. H. Reys holds. general director of the move ment in southern Methodism. Instruc- tions concerning the methods to be employed during the closing weeks of the campaign were issued by R. o. Noojin conference director, and pr. L.. C. Branscomb, conference educational secretary.
 Expressions from the delegates as- sembled indicated their determination to make the movement a full success In their respective churches. c. r. Smith, district chairman of the minute men, reported that three-minute ad- dresses were being delivered in vir- tually all the churches at the regular services.
 A pleasant feature of the occasion was a ride of two hours up the Coosa river in the houseboat of Drs A. W. Rails, who served luncheon to the vis- itors on the boat, with the assistance of a number of ladies of the First Methodist church Bundy's band fur nished music on the trip

When the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau made their sensational escape at the opening of the war, and raced down the Mediterranean to deliver them selves to Turkey, it was an American audience on American grandstand which watched the thrilling finish in the harbor of Constantinople.
 From the deck of the gunboat Scor- pion, flying the flag of the United States, the officers and men, with no little amusement beheld the evidently Teu- tonic crews of the erstwhile ships of the German navy, hastily doffing their Ger man caps and donning Moslem fezzes as the Turkish flag was hoisted to the mast head.
 Throughout the war the Scorpion was vantage point of observation for the events which occurred in the near east. When the United States became a bellig- erent it quietly interned, since there was no declaration of war with Turkey and nothing to be gained by this little vessel rsking almost certain destruction by an effort to run the U-boat gauntlet in the

 So the Turks felt fairly safe
 WARNING FROM SUBMARINE
 A rumor spread, however. on May "A that the skipper of a submarine had ad- dressed a letter to the neutral embassies requesting that all neutral ships, for their 1 own protection, should immediately with draw from the open harbor.
 It was said that the letter had been given to the captain of a Greek tug boat. This assertion, however has never been verified, nor has a copy of the let ter ever been seen. So far as is known it was never delivered Suspicion existed tha. it fell into Turkish hands. This sus- picion is strengthened by the fact that almost coincdently several. tugboat cap tains of Hellenic race disappeared.
 It was with a sense of expectancy quickened by this rumor that the Scor- pion's lookout watched the early morn ing preparations of the Turkish trans ports to sail
 The moment for departure had almost arrived when a sudden shout from the quartermaster of the Scorpion brought all hands scrambling on deck.
 British submarine" rang out the cry.
 Sure enough heading at full speed for the troop ships, with the riffle of water white around It's perlSCope, was bfltlSh submarine.
 The Turks had made simultaneous dis covery of it, and their artillery opened fire The craftsmanship was poor, how ever, for al lthe shells fell harmless.
 BLOWS UP TURKINH CRAFT
 The submarine made a full sweep Of the harbor and when only 100 yards from the Turkish field guns fired it's first torpedo.
 A moment later there was terrific ex- pIosion. A Turkish lighter vanished from the water, and presently fell back again in fragments. A big hole was blown in the side of an empty transport.
 The first torpedo was followed almost immediately by a second. The Scorpions crew watched it's white streak as it slid past their gunboat on the port side, head ed up the Bosporous. It went under small boat and passed on upstream to sink without doing the foe any injury.
 Meantime a Turkish torpedo boat with no little intrepidity, had dashed at full speed toward the hostile visitor. evidently intent upon ramming it. But the British were too quick, and when the Turks reached the point where the submarine had been it was no longer there-sub- mergence had carried it to safe depths

naval forces of the allies.
 THRILLING TIMES FOR CREW This, however, does not mean that the Scorpions wartime existence was wholly monotonous. 1t had it's thrills and it's opportunities for service. When Turkey entered the war the crew of the Scor- pion was invaluable to Mir. Morgenthau in guarding embassies and helping to get the retiring allied officials and thousands dren-safely out of the city.
 The American flag was temporarily holsted over the British embassy, and men of the Scorpion stood on guard about the building. because there were rumors that an attack was to be made upon it, and Mir. Morgenthau had been requested by the British government to take charge of British interests.
 But the most thrilling episode in the Scorpions long sojourn in the Bosporus occurred on May 9, 1916.
 Long lines of transports, with 4O,00O or 50,000 troops aboard, were at the quays ready to sail for the re-enforcemept of the Ottoman armies at the Dardanelles. An escort of destroyers and patrol boats had been sent ahead into the Sea of Mar mora, and or two destroyers were racing about in the Bosporous.
 The opportunity for a sudden blow by the allies was excellent, if anybody could get near enough to strike the blow. Ap- proach, however, meant running the blockade of mines and shore guns and

MOVES LEARNING TO FLY;
 TO RETURN BY AIR ROUTE

Fred G. Moves, receiver of the defunct Barnette bank, in Fairbanks, is now busily engaged in mastering the art of aeroplaning, at an aero field on the Pacific coast and, as soon as he has acquired sufficient experience, will bring plane to Valdez and pioneer the aerial way across country to Fairbanks
 That is the report brought to Nenana by August Conradt, we'll known mining man of the Fairbanks district, who returned to the Inter for this week from a winter in the States, most of which time was spent in California. MT. Conradt arrived in town on the Thursday train and left for Fairbanks yesterday.
 Like others who have returned to Alaska recently, MT. Conradt says many oldtimers now in the States are planning to return, and he be- lieves there will be quite a rush during the early spring and summer.
 San Francisco, in the opinion of Mr. Conradt, is the only real live city on the Pacific coast. It is the money center of the West and con- ditions there appeared to De much more healthy than elsewhere on the Pacific coast. Seattle presented a sorry spectacle by comparison.
 Many Alaskans were seen both in Seattle and in San Francisco, but those in the California metropolis had the appearance of being the more contented. Hunter Scales, who worked at the banking business in Fairbanks in the early day, now has an important position with the Bank of Italy, one of the biggest banks in San Francisco. Harold Reeves, also a former Fairbanksan, is with the Federal Reserve bank, Joe Nor row is with the American National and Frank Wood, who was with the American forces overseas, has d good position with another San Francisco bank.
 1 Leroy Tozier and Frank Berry are still engaged in the oil promotion Ibusiness in San Francisco and are now at work on proposition which promises big returns. MT. Conradt accused Tozier of being a candidate for the judgeship in the Fourtl division, but was assured that he had no such aspiration. Tozier said
 however, that he intended to make
 a trip to Alaska in the near future
 on business of another sort, but
 would not remain long.
