FROM TAXATION
The congregational
lists Take Action.

The California State Association of Con-
gregatiOnal Churches yesterday morning
appointed a committee, consisting of Rev.
J. K. Mclean, Rev. DR.. G. c. Adams and
Thomas Addison, to take charge of the
work for the abolition Of church taxa
ton in California. The subject was
broached at the morning session by Dr..
Adams, who declared that California was
the only State in the United States where
churches were taxed and he cited the
amounts paid yearly by a number Of
churches TO show the extent of the bur-
den California Christians are compelled
TO bear. The appointment Of the commit
tee was accompanied by an expressed de-
termination to inaugurate an aggressive
campaign.
The report of the committee on temper
ance which has been made a special or
der for o'clock was adopted after being
slightly amended by striking out the rec
ommendation that ant-saloon leagues be
organized within the churches. At the
same time the work Of the Ant-saloon
League was heartily indorsed. Some dis
cussion arose over an attempt to secure
an Endorsement by the association OF pro-
hibition. The delegates refused to formu-
late an official expression on the subject
and the attempt failed.
There was also quite a long discussion

NARROW ESCAPE
Of THE FRENCH
BARK b0URBAK|
Caught Fire at the
SeaWall Yesterday.

For a short time yesterday the French
bark Bourbaki was in imminent danger
of being destroyed by fire. She was
alongside the seawall taking in "stiffen-
ing" preparatory to going to Port costa
to load wheat for Europe. About 2oOO
sacks of grain had been put aboard and
the ship was TO be ready to move up
stream tomorrow morning. The long
shoremen had laid off for the noon hour
and the crew had finished their midday
meal and retired to the forecastle, when
the fire was discovered. There was con-
siderable turpentine and paint oil In the
carpenter shop, and some one going in
there dropped lighted match. The place
was soon in blaze and the Fire Depart
ment was summoned. The Spreckels
Towboat Company was also nouneq ana
in a very short space of time the ReleI
was alongside and had four streams Oh
water playing on the blaze.
In the meantime, however, the VeSSel
side had got SO hot that the paint was
peeling off in great flakes and the smoke
was pouring out of the ventilators and
chocks. Luckily the vessel had an iron
deck so none of the water that was
poured into the forecastle got into the

suspect?"

was said later that he had tele-

from Manila to repair the cable be-
