Zola was tried and found guilty OF
libel. The sentence was imprisonment
and a fine, the greatest excitement pre-
vailing during the trial. He received
hundreds of congratulatory letters and
kilograms in court each day. but he
was unpopular because of his true and
severe portrayals of French character
in some of his novels.
The following are the startling
charges that Zola made in his famous
letter. many of which charges wound
seem to be true, if the suicide of Henry
and its revelations count for anything

STILL AFTER LONG. The Labor Commissioner Wants to I.nnk A After Armv Contracts

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald has de- termined not to let rest the matter of the making of soldiers uniforms by Chinese. He contends that, in spite of the fact that Major Long, who Is making the contracts for the Government for army garments, declares that he knows nothing about Chinese being employed on this class of work, thousands of uniforms are being made by Mongolian labor. Yester- day he wrote letter to A. A. Watkins of the City Board of Trade, in which he recited the condition of affairs from his standpoint, and in conclusion made the following proposition:
 "As an adjustment of the entire matter I have the following proposition T will, upon having copies of all con- tracts now in existence or those to be made, undertake to locate the firms gull ty of sending the work to Chinatown, and so hopeful do feel of being able to drive the work out of Chinatown that l will have no word of censure for any one and accept this responsibility personally.
 My position In this matter has been that of an official performing my official duties, and in doing so certain facts have been revealed which have reflected dis credit upon the parties to the beforemen- tioned contracts. l, therefore, as a citi- sistance in remedying the unfortunate state of affairs to the mutual benefit of the War Department, the merchants and the working people of San Francisco.

Application of Louis James Frederik-
 sen for a Divorce Denied.


 Louis James Frederiksen, contrary to his most ardent expectations and wishes, is still married man. Some time ago Frederiksen applied for a divorce from his wife, Della Frederiksen, on the ground of desertion. The defendant allowed the stat utory time to expire before filing a con test to her husbands application for di- vorce and her default was entered. La ter, however, an aplication was made to set aside and vacate the entry of default. which was granted. The case came up fo, hearing yesterday and Mrs. Frederiksen produced evidence establishing her con tention that she alone was not responsible for the separation of herself and husband. A letter from Frederiksen to his wife, which stated that the writer was of the opinion that he could not live happily with her, was admitted as evidence and on this showing the court refused to grant the plaintiff a divorce. In view of the fact that Frederiksen and his wife are not lia- ble to live. together the court granted the custody of the minor children of the liti- gants to the plaintiff, as he was better able to care for them than the defendant

WILL NOT
 RAISE RATES Water Companies Are Now Satisfied. PRETENSE OF GENEROSITY SAY TIMES ARE TOO HARD TO
 PAY MORE. Existing Rates, However, Are Giving Fine Rate of Interest
 on the Capital
 Invested.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 sos Broadway. June 28. It has now been decided by the two wa ter companies that they will not charge the rates fixed in the ordinance which caused so much popular indignation when passed last March. A few days ago, as stated in the Call, President Dingoe of the Oakland company said that "our patrons will have no cause for dissatisfaction after July l." This was taken to mean that the rates at present enforced and which are sufficiently high, will be maintained be- cause any raise would certainly produce any amount of dissatisfaction.
 To-day J. H. T. Watkinson of the Con tra Costa Company said that his direc- tors had decided not to enforce the new legal rates, but to collect under the old ones. The company is convinced, said MT. WatkinsOn, that times are hard ana people are not able to pay high rates. Many people are out of employment and many businesses are not making money. The wave of prosperity has not yet struck California, and when it comes people will be able to pay a little more for water than Mir Watkinsons consideration for the water rate payers needs little eXplana- ton. His figures submitted to the City Council before the new rate was fixed showed that if the companies collected the full amount under existing rates and without cutting for the sake of getting business, they would receive a 9ne rate of interest on their investment Mir. Wat hnson and MT. Dingee both positively de- nied this. and declared that they had charged about two-thirds Of the existing rate and had lost money. Since the first of March they have collected rates under the ordinance and consumers have found that the result has been to double the cost of water and in some instances to make it even greater. Next years report will undoubtedly show that there was no need whatever for the scandal shared by the City Council and the water companies last February.
