ment In France, but No Disturb
M ance, Arises-Mayors
Haul Down Flags
BY Associated Press.


PARIS, June 10.-Up to a late hour
tonight no change has been recorded
in the situation growing out of the
movement on the part of the wine
growers and the news received from
the south shows that number of
mayors are carrying out their reso-
luton to resign. No disorders have
been reported, however.
In the chamber of deputies today
the preliminaries of the governments
bill for the prevention of the adultera-
ton Of wine were discussed. In the
course of the debate Andre c. Du
Bois, unified Socialist, suggested the
establishment of state monopoly of
alcohol such as exists for tobacco, de-
claring this to be the only effective
solution of the difficulty. The debate
went over until tomorrow, when
FINANCE Minister Caillaux will ex-
plain how the bill meets the situation.
NARBONNE, France, June 10.-In
the presence of an enormous crowd
this evening the mayor of Narbonne,
NJ Ferroul, announced publicly that
a civil strike had begun and hauled
down the flag of France from the city
hall. The mayor, when he did this,
was surrounded by the municipal
council. At the same time the tones
rang out from every church steeple,
and then the crowd paraded through
the principal streets of the town.
There were no disorders.

BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1O.-A $50, 900
fire on Market street this morning
totally destroyed the store and stock of
the John Quadt company, No. 1421-31
Market street; ruined the establish
ment of Samuels & Letter, the tailors
at No. 1417-19, and partially destroyed
the stock of the Studebaker company,
next door. The fire started in the paint
store. which soon became a roaring
furnace and threatened the whole
neighborhood.
Any attempt to quench the flames in
the Quadt building was quite hopeless.
The firemen merely tried to confine
the fire to the Studebaker establish
ment, part of the stock of which they
succeeded in saving. Across the street
from the burned building stands the
new Grand Central hotel which houses
about 200 guests. These all came rush
ing to the windows and some of the
more frightened started to run from the
building But when 1t was seen that
the firemen had the flames under con-
troll confidence was restored once more
and the watchers went back to their
beds.

Fears for Safety of Local Capitalist
and Family DispelIed When No
Message Telling of Acci-
dent Comes

Fear that o. T. Johnson, a well known
capitalist of Los Angeles, or some mem
ber of his family, had met death in an
automobile accident in England yester-
day was partially dispelled last night
when friends of the Johnsons stated
that to the best of their knowledge the
victim of the disaster. was Harry John
son of Berkeley.
Press dispatches telling Of the over
turning of an automobile at Edge Hill,
near Oxford, England, the death of a
Mr.. Johnson of California, the fatal in
jury of a Mr.. Black of Philadelphia, and
of minor injuries sustained by the la
dies of the party caused great anxiety
among members of the Johnson family
and their many friends in Los Angeles.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. T. Johnson of 1921 Or
ange street recently left to tour Eu-
rope. They were joined in New York
by their son, F. G. Johnson, and his
wife and two sons, Milo Johnson and
Howard Johnson, jr., who were to be
members of the party also. Later they
were to be joined by A. P. Johnson
1857 Scarf street, brother Of o. T. John
son, Mrs. A. P. Johnson and their two
| sons, Orson T. Johnson, jr., and Parley
Johnson, jr.. and daughter, Miss Can
dace Johnsonss
Party Now in England
The party left New York on the Gel.
| tic late in May and in the course OF
their travels they would be in England
now. AS they intended to do considera-
BILE motoring both in England and on
the continent the news of the accident
aroused grave fears in Los Angeles.
Farley M. Johnson. brother of o. T.
Johnson, said early this morning that
he is confident none of his relatives has
been killed in an accident in England.
1.-THE fact that we have not heard
from them," said Mr.. Johnson, sis proof
to me that they are safe. Being safe,
they naturally have no occasion to
cable us. They probably have not
heard Of this accident and were not
aware that their relatives here were in
great anxiety"
Associated Press dispatches telling OF
the accident stated that the automobile
was overturned and that a Mr.. John
son of California was killed and that
Mr.. Blake of Philadelphia was fatally
hurt. According to a dispatch from
Philadelphia the only Philadelphian by
the name of Blake known to be in
Europe at this time is John H. Blake
of 4707 Pine street, an inventor. who
sailed for Europe on the steamer
Teutonic on June 1. He was accom-
panied by his wife, and according to a
brother-in-law, intended to tour Europe
in an automobile. The relatives in
Philadelphia do not know that the man
injured in the automobile accident is
Mr. Blake, as they have received no
word.

famous Princess Anne hotel at Vir-

By Associated Press.
CONCORD. N. H.. June 10.-The de-
PENDANTS in the suit brought by the
next friends" of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, the aged head of the Christian
Science denomination, asking for an
accounting of Mrs. Eddy's property,
were successful in carrying a point
today when Judge Robert N. Chamber
lain of the Merrimac superior court
announced that he would within a week
appoint a master to conduct hearings
and take testimony to determine
whether Mrs. Eddy is competent to
manage her own affairs.
Shortly after Mr.. Streeter who rep
resented both the trustees and Mrs.
Eddy, had begun his address to the
court, he announced that he would
suspend the right to bring up the legal
questions involved at this time, would
agree to the immediate settlement of
the matter of Mrs. Eddy's competency,
inasmuch as he understood that the
court wished that phase of the case
disposed of.
No Court Scenes
Mr. Streeter asked that master be
appointed to conduct the hearings on
the matter of Mrs. Eddy's competency,
friends" argued that Mrs. Eddy's COM
potency, be established before jury,
or as Attorney Dewitt c. Howe of
counsel for the next friends" ex-
pressed it to the court, 1--WE wish her
competency to be tried as that of any
humble person would be tried"
A feature of the proceedings was the
declaration of Gen. Streeter that the
suit for an accounting of Mrs. Eddy's
property was not brought by her son,
George w. Glover of Lead, S. D., and
the others who appear as next friends"
but was instituted "at the instigation
of New York newspaper. which has
been trying to discredit Mrs. Eddy and
her religious teachings"
Judge Chamberlain, however, did not
define any limitations to the hearings
when he announced his intention OF
appointing a master.
1t is expected that the hearings tc
determine Mrs. ,Eddy's competency viii
be held at Pleasant View, Mrs. Eddy's
estate in this city.

TERRIFIC GAS EXPLOSIONS
SKATER MANY WINDOWS
By Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-Shortly
before 6 o'clock this morning two tre-
mendous explosions, which shattered
nearly all the windows in the vicinity
and sent the manholes flying upward,
occurred on Sacramento street, between
Market and Drumm streets, when the
gas became congested in a conduit of
the San Francisco Gas and Electric
company and burst through a man
hole, and considerable damage was
done.
The fact that the explosion occurred
at so early an hour, when the street
was deserted, probably prevented MANY
people from being injured.

Point In This Story.
Once a farmer had 1900 bushels OF
wheat which he sold not to a single
grain merchant, but to 1900 different
dealers, bushel each. A few of them
paid him In cash. but far the greater
number said 1t was not convenient
then; they would pay later. A few
months passed and the mans bank
account ran low. "How is thisT he
said MY 1900 bushels of grain should
have kept me In aft1uence until another
crop Is raised, but I have parted with
the grain and have instead only vast
number Of accounts, SO small and scat
tered that cannot get around and col
lect fast enough to pay expenses"
So he posted up a public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest said,
milne is only a small matter, and
will go and pay one of these days." for
getting that, though each account was
very small, when all were put together
they meant large sum to the man.
Things went on thus. The man got to
feeling SO bad that he fell out of bed
and awoke and, running to his gran
ary, found his 1900 bushels OF wheat
still safe there. He had only been
dreaming.
Moral-The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper and said:
"Here. sir, is the pay for your paper,
and when next years subscription is
due you can depend on me to pay II
promptly. I stood In the position of an
editor last night. and know how II
feels to have ones honestly earned
money scattered all over the country In
