 flame in front. followed by dense volumes smoke.
 The flames spread swiftly, and the fire brigade hurried to the scene. But fusilage from the irregulars in the Granville hotel compelled them to re- treat. The fire attacked the shops adjoining the Hammam and in less than two hours the roofs had col- lapsed. Three buildings were com pletely destroyed, their ruin being hastened through the flames reach ing stores of bombs and ammunition causing numerous explosions and throwing up great clouds of smoke.
 Battle Rnges
 Still the battle ragged, the irregu- lars firing fuslages from the win dows of both the Gresham and the Granville. while the national rifle men replied vigorously from their positions opposite and from armored cars.
 Shortly after 1 o'clock an armored car took up a position opposite the Gresham and poured a hurricane of machlnegun fire into the hotel win dows. Smoke belched forth, quickly followed by a muffled explosion and tongues of flame from the windows, and within half an hour the front Of the building was a flaming furnace The firemen then played water on the premises between the Grsham and the Hammam and savd them in part, but the fate of the Gresham was from the first hopeless.
 Then while the lower floors of this hotel were burning, the irregulars continued to fire from the upper win dows, but by 3 o'clock the remnant of tho garrison. five men, weary-eyed and blackened. emerged from the rear of the building under the white flag and surrendered. White Flag Raised Other irregulars driven from place to place by the flames took up a po- sition in the Granville. and from points of vantage they directed a brisk fire against the nationals. In the meantime fire broke out opposite In the store next door to the Edin- burg hotel presently a white flag was seen protruding from the door of the Edinburg and man stepped forth, holding the flag In one hand | and a dress suitcase in tho other. Be- hind him walked curious and piti- | ful procession of between 20 and 30 persons, mostly women, white haired woman of TO bringing up the rear. all carrying small quantities of luggage.
 They explained thed had been liv- | ing in the Edinburgh a whole week, | taking refuge In the cellars, but were | forced to leave by the flames In the l adjacent store. They were escorted to a place of safety by members of the Red Cross.

 la the second part of his report he will subject the Ford offer to pitt less analysis which will be construed as a scathing denunciation. His at- titude Is well established He not only criticises the Ford offer as an attempt to rape the government through preneditated deception of farmers inspired by Ford and his agents and nbetted by politicians and "get-rich- quick" real estate owners. but is animated by what appears to be personal animus. He has en. gagged in heated colloquys with ard ent pro-Ford advocates In the Senate who have spoken of "trusts' as in- fluences preventing republicans from accepting the Ford offer he has bit- terly resented such insinuations re- peatedly expressed against him or his party. In the secons place. he has been outraged because of the House atNiOn th pOcNpOniHS tHS aNdlldQillIy of an appropriation for the comple- tion of Wilson da muntil October flor no intelligent reason" as he ex- presses 1t.
 This attitude on the part of any other lcne senator would not be re- garded as so serious. But Norris is chairman of the committee having Muscle Shoals in charge, and his power as an obstructionist Is almost unlimited. again, he is a powerful member of the farm loan bloc, Is westerner. among whom farming is the principle business. and is inde- pendent and progressive in his ideas.
 The Ford advocates on the commit tee. Senator Harrison said today. would contend tomorrow for a post ponement of the committees verdict. For they are not prepared. They have not written the first word of their minority report. They have, been caught by the alert and ener- getic Norris sleeping at the switch.
 However. 1t Is likely that they will win the fight for the postponement. The chairman informed Senator Har- rison today that he had no disposit- ton to take advantage of the situa- ton.

GOVERN MENT MUST DEFEND SUITS ON
 FOREIGN PATENTS
(Continued from page one)

it was said that while the govern ment was not prepared to charae- teriEe the sale of the enemy patents to the foundation as "clean as a hounds tooth" reither was 1t pre- ed to say that there was fraud zor anything criminal involved. Up tc the present. it was said, there has been no suggestion of fraud in the transaction by which MT. Garvan, as alien property custodian, sold the patents for s250. 900 to the organiza- ton of which he is now president.
 Must Defend Suits
 Confronted with the suits filed against the treasurer of the United States by the Chemical Foundation. 1t as explained, the department of - justice, was compelled to defend the suits, or be placed in the position of paying money out of the treasury to the foundation in the face of widely expressed doubt" as to the validity of the foundations title to 7 the patents. The administrator. 1t was said, had in mind the numerous attacks made in Congress and else where on the sale of the German patents for the .'nominar' sum in- volved. and wanted to Hgo Into court with all the facts" As logical first s.ap, the President was said to have !. been advised by the department of justice that n move to recover the patents would settle for all the time g the question of legality of the sale 2 which was said to hinge on whether there was sufficient consideration" 8 paid by the purchaser.
 . Administration lawyers are said to question the right of the Wilson ad- ministration, as a matter of law. to sell the patents even for the purpose of making them available to Amer iean authority on n-monopolisti., terms and to develop an industry which up to that time had been controlled by Germany.
 No matter what the purpose of former Attorney General Palmer and MT. Garvan was, in creating the foundation" an official said, i've are confronted with a cold question of law and fact.''
 While Custodian Miller was not prepared today to make public the grounds on which a suit in equity would be filed if it became necessary as indicated by Mir. Garvan's pub lished statement that he would not return the patents, officials of the custodian's office said that two courses would be open. Fraud could be adopted as the basis for the action, or the more simple expedient of contending the sale was void be- cause there was not suffient monetary consideration paid over.. In the latter case fraud would not have to be shown, 1t was said

tensions of gas mains is just as much part of the company's plant as the original mains, aad that through the advance deposit required for such extensions, the public is called upon to extend the plant, without receiv- ing any interest on the advance de- posits. He said. Also, that in his opinion the company should make It's own extensions, except In certain instances where such extensions are made into new territory.
 New Areas Excluded
 To this latter statement, MT. Brad ley replied that the regulations n force and involved in the hearing do not apply to extensions into entire ly new territory. After some discus sion between MT. Wynn. MT. Bradley and members of the commission, 1t was decided that testimony taken during the hearing would deal only with regular extensions of gas mains within the city of Birmingham. Will liam l.. Harrison, Birmingham com missioner, then told the commission that the city administration has be- fore 1t several applications of var ious thickly settled communities in the Birmingham district, which have no gas service, but would like to see such service installed. He said the rub has always come with regard to the putting up of these communi- ties of the required advance exten- sion deposit.
 Pevear on stand
 J. s. Peavear, the first witness to take the stand. after testifying that he understood the advance extension deposit regulation to apply only to ordinary extensions within the city of Birmingham, told the commission that the average annual net income of the B. R., L. & P. Co.,. for gas service per domestic customer, is $10.30, and that the average annual investment per residential consumer. was s137,20. MT. Pevear continued to testify throughout the afternoon concerning comparative costs of ma terial and upkeep in their relation to service charges. The city of Bir- mingham closed it's presentations with an oral argument by City At torney Wynn.
 Further hearings in the same case will be held Thursday, and it will probably be late in the afternoon be- fore the formal hearing Is concluded.

 Coinage of gold pieces and standard silver dollars increased during the past year, but the output of subsidiary coins decline heavily officials ex- plained because the treasury has a large stock of these coins which the banks, on account of business con ditions have not been absorbing, and also because the hints have returned to the pre-war basis of operating on an eight day.

STRIKERS READY TO CONSIDER MEASURES
 LEADING TO PEACE
(Continued from page one)

now in sight, declaring that the most serious obstacles in the way of a peaceful agreement had been cleared away. They pointed to the success full negotiations between MT. Hooper and MT. McMenlmen of the labor board. and F. F. Grable, president of the United Brotherhood of Main tenance of Way and Railroad Shop Laborers, which yesterday averted an immediate walkout of some 400, ,O0O track workers.
 Board members declared that the points at issue in both cases were somewhat similar although the main tenance men had ballotted only on the question of accepting a s60.o00,- 900 wage reduction. The trackmen agreed to accept this cut under pro- test on the promise that the labor board would immediately hear their pleas for wage advances, retroactive to July l. when the pay slashes be- came effective. based on the conten- ton that government reports showed an increase in living expense since the board rendered it's wage cut decision, and the hope was express-l that the shopmen would take simi- lar action.
 SeriOuS Issue Removed
 Railroad executives asserted that the more serious issues indicated by the result of the three shop craft strike ballots, outside contract work, already had been removed as a point at issue by the action of the roads. With the working rules as practically the only obstacle to peace. the opinion was expressed on all sides that issue speedily would be disposed of, once conferences were underway. Mean while. the fifth day of the walkout passed in comparative quiet, although several clashes were reported from many widely separated sections of the country. Railways at many points began employing new men to take the places of the strikers, while. others notified their men that their places would be held open for them until July 10 before their names would be stricken from the rolls with the loss of their seniority privileges. Traffic continued practically without. Interruption although some readjust- ment of schedules and the annulment of some short passenger runs were reported.

Neighbor Perkins Knew the Way

The city had ordered a side-' walk along the side of Phil Mer- chants property. It was stretch of 125 feet.
 Unless he laid it himself, at once, heavy though the cost be, the city would put it down for him and charge him in addition to the actual cost, lot of ex- tras.
 Economy pointed him in only one direction-and still he hadn't the money to meet the expense involved.
 "Why, you can borrow that much from Trustees System" Neighbor Perkins said. That's a, big cooperative organization of workers that makes loans for worthy purposes on the security of honesty and steady employ ment. Their rates are very low, and you will be permitted to re- pay tho loan in easy monthly in- stallments, running for . year. l advise you to see them without delay"
