COURT FURTHER DEF|NESLAWFUL
 TRADE METHODS
Decision of Lower Court Is Reversed in the Beech Nut Case-Dissenting 0pin-
 ion Is Read
 By Associated Press

Washington, January 3.-Lawful trade methods were further defined today by the supreme court in de- cision holding the trade methods and policies of the Beech-Nut Packing company in obtaining the co-opera- ton of it's distributors and custom CTS to be unfair methods of com petition" within the meaning of the federal trade commission act.
 In upholding the right of the fed eral trade commission to order dis- continuance of such methods she court divided, five and four, Justice Day delivered the opinion of the court and Justices Holmes. MeKenna, McReynolds and Brandeis dissented. The decision reverses the lower courts.
 If the Beech-Nut system of mer- chandising Is against public policy because of its dangerous tendency to hinder competition or to create 1 monopoly" the court maintained, "is .
 l was within the power of the commits sion to make an order forbidding it's continuation"
 Three trade methods cases previ- ously decided by the supreme court which were brought under the Sher- man antitrust law, and not under the federal trade commission act, was the Beech h-Nut case. The court stated today "that in prosecutions under the sherman act trader is not guilty of violating It's terms who simply refuses to sell others. and he may withhold his goods from those wno will not sell them at the prices which he fixed for their resale.
 "He may not go beyond the exer- else of this right" 1t added, "and by contract or combination, express or implied, unduly hinder or obstrnct the free and natural flow of commerce in the channels of interstate trade. '

 No plans have been made for the reorganization of the local company and at this early stage of the change of stock ownership it sis impossible to forecast what form that may take. The meaning of the deal is that the new concern has acquired or will ac- -quire the stock of the companies heretofore, held by the American Cities company. The contamination of the deal has been expected for some time following the examination of the properties made by agents of the Electric Bond and Share com pany.

 British acceptance previously has 1ecn given and although neither the Italians nor the Japanese had re- ceived final instructions tonight, there were indications that neither Rome or Tokio would interpose serious objection if the proposal re- eeived Frances full approval.
 The exact nature of the French reservation was not revealed but the impression was gathered in some quarters that it might concern such q definition of the terms of the dec- laration as would make it clear just what conduct would be expected from merchantmen in view of their im- mgnity from submarine attack.
 Should that point be raised an in- terestng and many-sided discussion might result, for in several quarters there has been apparent a tendency toward the opinion that the term merchant ships should be strictly defined, with express stipulations as to whether merchantmen are to be permitted to arm and whether it is to be permissible to disguise warships as vessels of commerce.
 BaIfour Amendment
 The French delegation, however, in making known their acceptance in principle has emphasized that they not only agree to the original proposal of Elihu Root that the new prohibit tion on submarine warfare become ef- fective when all nations have agreed to it, but also to the amendment of Arthur J. Balfour which would make the prohibition immediately effective as between the five great powers.
 At tie same time the French have accepted the additional Root declaras

Situation Not Serious, But Necessity for Quick Action Impressed Upon Secre-

By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 

oUU Dapiuson Building.
 Washington, January 3.-(Special) ) Anticipating the immediate accept ance of the offer of Henry Ford to purchase the governments properties at Muscle Shoals, unemployed peo- pie. with their families, are rapidly concentrating in the tri-cities, ac- cording to Alabama congressmen who returned to Washington today.
 Although Representative AImon cf the Eighth Alabama district declares that the unemployment situation at Muscle Shoal lis not serious enough to warrant newspaper comment" i" there is no denial that such a sitiia- ton actually exists. To relieve it efforts are under way to bring the long pending negotiations to a head.
 The Secretary of War, when unof- ficially informed tonight of the ne- cessity for quick action, indicated that the delay in negotiations could not be attributed to him. Nothing has come from the engineers of Ford. W. R. Mayo and J. ". Worthington, since December 23. They were in- structed to secure such authority from Ford as would warrant them in dealing with the Secretary of War. Nothing has come to the secretary from Ford, himself, since the day ne left Washington, and, accompanied by Thomas A Edison, went to Mus cle Shoals
 Sees Early Conclusion
 Representative Almon tonight in- formed this correspondent that he had information from an inside sources justifying him in the predic- tion that very soon Fords engineers would return to the secretary. either this or next week, and that they would be equipped with authority to negotiate with finality. as previously stated The secretary has prepared a questionnaire. which. if answered to, his satisfaction, would force him to accept the new offer which such answers would constitute. Secretary Weeks announced toni ght that he had agreed to receive at 10 o'clock Sat urday. officials of the North Ameri can Construction company, c. c Thinker and Fred c. Hitchcock, who after an inspection. are apparent, anxious to acquire title to Muscle Shoals.

 BLAZE YESTERDAY
Large Store and Office Build ing Is Complete Loss, With Merchandise Stock and
 Office Equipment


 Eufaula, January s.--tspecial.l-- l-- Fire of undetermined origin, which broke out in the upper sections Of the Foy- -whitlock building here early this morning, practically destroyed the structure, resulting in loss es- timated at about s10o,O0o. The build ing was three stories in height and of brick construction. It was occupied by the Eufaula Hardware company on the ground floor and business offices on the other floors.
 Efforts to bring the flames under control proved futile and the entire structure was gutted
 The fire was the most disastrous suffered by Eufsula since the de- struction of Hart's block in 1903.
 The individual losses in the destruc- tion of the building follow:
 Eufaula Hardware company, sbO,oeo stock and warehouse in rear. Insur- ance $s.5Oo.
 Mcdowell and Mcdowell. attorneys, library valued at s2O,ooo, and all of- flee equipment, legal paper and court files. Insurance $2,0oo.
 pr. ". S. Britt, office equipment, surgical instruments, library and ac- counts. Loss estimated at s40,oo0, partly covered by insurance.
 pr. A B. Cross, specialist, office and occulist equipment, valued al ss.ooo, with ;1,00o insurance.
 Dr. L. F. Tisinger. physician; G. B. Espy, county surveyor; William Be- lote, insurance.
 Furniture Store Wrecked
 The furniture store of T. A. Davis across the alley was partially burned after which 1t was destroyed by the falling walls of the whitiock building,
 T. NJ. Brannon chief Of police, and l.. S worthington, of the Georgia Alabama Power company. who were in the Davis store fighting the fire were caught under the falling debris worthington. being so seriously in- jured that he was taken to a hospital Brannon was only slightly hurt.
 The office of Dr. P. P. Salter, ad- joining the hardware store, and the grocery store of J. B. Bush were dam aged by water and falling walls. The dry goods stock of Jake oppenheimer was moved to the street when the rear of his store caught fire. The building was flooded with water.
 It is believed that had strong wind been blowing the entire busi- ness section of the town would have gone up in smoke. As 1t was, strenu- ous efforts were required to prevent flying sparks from setting fire to numerous buildings on which they lighted.
 The Foy- Whitlock building was one of the landmarks of Eufaula, being built in 1874. It was originally built as an opera house, but was converted into & store and office building in 1908
