High Rate Suggested by the French
Government Is Reduced
by a Third

PARIS, June 1.-THE government was
defeated in the chamber of deputies to-
day on the sugar clause of the wine
bill. which was designed to prevent
fraud. Finance Minister Caillaux in
sisted on a supplementary tax of 65
francs per loo kilos on sugar used in
the manufacture of certain wines, but
the chamber rejected the proposition by
33 to 55 votes, whereupon the session
was suspended.

government had decided to renew the
supplementary tax of 40 francs per 100
kilos. This was adopted by BAL to 215
votes, and the governments position

COTTON MILLS BADLY
CRIPPLED BY FLAMES
Two Departments Quilted in
Plant of California
Company
WOMAN LOSES LIFE
Overcome by Smoke and I'm
able to Make Her Way
to the Exits

OAKLAND. June 1.-TWO depart
ments Of the California cotton mills
were virtually destroyed and third
badly damaged this afternoon by
IRE which broke out in the jute store
room Of the plant and which is sup
posed to have been caused by friction
IN the machinery. The progress of the
flames through the jute storeroom and
5ute preparing departments was very
rapid. and before they were extin-
guished they had spread to the jute
spinning department, where number
of valuable machines were badly dam
aged. Lack Of water in the city mains
hampered the firemen in their work,
and had it not been for the fact that
the mills are provided with salt water
reservoir. the loss would have been
far heavier.
The body Of Mrs. Jokana Vieras IS
years old, was found tonight in the
basement Of the mill by Chief Engin-
eer Ball Of the fire department while
he was examining the debris. The
woman was 8 breaker feeder in the
mills Evidently she had been over
come and was unable to fight her way
through the dense smoke. The fire
spread SO IdplQAg dlllOn6 lAAC JANO PAANS
that she was hemmed In. Mrs Viera
lived with her husband, Joseph Viera,
at 1912 Atlantic street.
The first alarm of fire was given
shortly after o'clock, when smoke
was seen pouring from the basement
Of the jute storeroom. Within a few
minutes OF the time the flames broke
out those who were attempting to
check them were driven from the build
ing The fire ragged unchecked after
this. and when the first fire engine
reached the mills the jute storeroom
and the preparing department were
burning briskly. Under the direction
of Acting superintendent James Ruth
erford. a suction hose was dropped into
the 5000 gallon salt water reservoir
Of the mill, and within a few minutes
two streams of water were pouring
on the flames.
superintendent Rutherford and Sec
retary J. Y. Miller, who directed the
work of the employees Of the mill in
their fight with the flames. said after
the fire had been extinguished that il
would be impossible to correctly esti-
mate the loss to the plant until an in
spection of the machinery in the part
OF the mill through which the fire had
swept had been made and the extent
OF the damage to the machines deter
mined. It is believed. however, that
the loss viii amount to between $4,000
and $4,000. a.

ItIs only 8 narrow life that will see in a patriotic celebration the eXalLiug of one country over another. Some of the great Issues of nations today are not limited by national boundary lines, but are worldwide iu their scope. The true progressive spirit recognizes and lauds every victory and achievement made by every other nation in the pro- gress of civilization. IG Is well that we remember with our friends of other municipalities that we have common interests, meet in friendly rivalry, and thus enhance the friendships that are part Of life Itself. But not only is this true Of municipalities existing under the same flag, but it must have even a wider application There is much reason why we shonld join whh our friends across the llne in remem- bearing 8 asoYereign who was beloved. by her people. To return we extend to them an invitation to join with us in rejoicing ia the blessings of liberty 10 which the nations Of the world are in- teresged. In all of this we do not lose our individuality as citizens of the country we love, There must be na- tlousl pride, but there is no room for national bigotry.
