FRENCH HIGH TARIFF.
Deputies Pass Bill, but 1t Must
10 to Senate.

Paris. Dec. 29.-The Chamber OF Dep
uties to-day passed the tariff bill By
vote OF 365 10 AZ after protracted dis
cussion. This represents a victory for
the high prOtectionists and the Tariff
Commission. which practically had It's
own way.
The government has held alOOf and
has not shown it's hand except TO inter-
vene for the modification of some sched-
ules which were inevitably bound to
menace Frances foreign trade relations.
Nevertheless. il is expected that the
government will step In at the final
moment and offer cOnciliatOry prOpO-
sition, as the bill still has q long road
TO travel. 10 must yet pass the Senate.
and the differences between the two
houses must be reconcfled
Although the enacting clause puts the
new tariff i'm force on March 81. 1910. 10
is considered that the bill will not likely
be adopted until later in the year w.
KIotz. chairman of the commission. In
his closing speech. assured the Chamber
that the bill was designed only to pro-
tect the interests Of France and was IN
no wav aimed at any foreign country.
He urged the insertion OF sr @rbitration
clause i'm future commercial treaties and
recommended that the government again
bring forward ct The Hague the ques-
tion of obligatory arbitration in tariff
disputes.

FIRE IN OIL PLANT
BIG CROWD LOOKS ON.
Thousands of Gallons Burned
IN Pratt WOrEs.

Fire last night in the plant of the Pratt
Oil Works, which runs from North 18th
to North 18th street and from Kent ave-
nue. to the East River. Williamsburg,
threatened hundreds of thousands of
gallons of naphtha and kerosene oil and
gave the firemen hard task to protect
thousands of dollars worth of property
near the oil works.
The flames were discovered by Will
lam Hart and Dennis ONeill. watchmen
employed at the plant while they were
making their rounds at 10:30 o'clock.
They turned in an alarm from an inside
box. Deputy Chief Burns reached the
scene in a hurry and sent In two more
alarms, bringing several ffreboats to a
point in the East River where they could
be of assistance.
Near the building where the fire
started We're several oil stills. In which
thousands of gallons of naphtha and
kerosene were stored, and to reach them
firemen had TO break two holes in a 10
inch wall. Near by was building in
which was stored one million gallons of
refined oil, and to this structure the fire.
men turned their attention in an attempt
to prevent the flames from reaching 1t.
Directly across the street is the plant
of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company.
The firemen worked with the realization
that if the flames ever reached the huge
gas tanks there would be no telling how
much of Williamsburg would be left
when the fire had run its course The
stables of the Street Cleaning Depart
ment are near by. and as the sparks and
burning embers that were carried by a
high wind began to drop on the roofs of
the stables Thomas Owens, the night
superintendent, called all the hostlers he
could command and had the thousand
horses under his charge transferred to
other quarters.
The Standard Oil Company owns the
plant over which the flames ragged last
night Less than two years ago, in Feb
ruary. 1908, three buildings. wharf and
300, 900 gallons of case naphtha, gasolene
and Kerosene We're consumed by fire in
the same plant entailing a loss Of more
than s250,000.
Shortly after midnight steam pipe
so severely that they required the atten-
ton of DR.. Joseph Smith, of the Fire
Department.
In spite OF the cold an enormous
crowd turned out to watch the fire, and
the reserves of the Bedford avenue and
Greenpoint avenue stations had difficulty
in keeping outsiders from interfering
with the work of the firemen.
Early in the morning it was thought
that there was no danger Of the fire
spreading from the oil compartments in
which it started. Deputy Chief Lally,
who assumed charge Of the fire fighters
after Chief Croker returned to Manhat-
tan, said the fire would probably burn
for at least twelve hours, and that at
least three hundred thousand gallons of
oil would be consumed.

Washington, Dec 29.-Statements made
by former President Zelaya that United

INDIAN NAILED
 ID CROSS IN
 PASSION PLAY

GUADALAJARA, Mex, April 22.- The state authorities here have been notified of the death of Tiburcio Zam- brano, a Tuxpan Indian, under most peculiar circumstances.
 Zambrano impersonated Christ in the Passion Play" given by the h. dians during holy week at the town of Tuxpan, Tn the soathern part of this state. When the time for the crucifxion arrived, on Good Friday, he demanded that he be nailed to the
 cross, instead of lashed, as had been the custom Religious enthusiasm
 was at it's height, and those in charge
 of the exhibit on acceded to Zambra- nos demands, pinning him to the cross with nails, hastily secured. Al most immediately, however, the mu- nicipal authorities heard of the mat | ter and, although serious trouble threatened for awhile, they finally sue 1 ceeded in dispersing the Indians and l releasing the impersonator of the Savior
 ! When Zambrano was removed from ! the cross 1t was discovered that the nails used in fastening his hands i, and feet were rusty. Lockjaw quick ly developed and he died in terrible agony.
 The Tuxpan Indians are said to be
 the last of the Aztecs. The Passion Play" has been feature of their observance of holy week for many
 years.

A cluster of gardenias with t.,cir glossy green. foliage is often the only trimming, and roses of gold tissue are much used upon the darker furs. two or three of them being tucked into the fur at the left side. One very effective French turban in e-m1ne was trimmed in 8 glowing bunch Of velvet gerani- ums shading from brilliant red to pink, and on another white turban was posed one huge purple orchid.
 In addition to the round shapes there are many fur turbans slightly boat shaped, though even these. while be- ing longer than they are wide, must come down well over the head and so of necessity have considerable width. Some excellent scarf and bow effects are achieved in connection with these nlcdels-and, indeed. with the round urban aiso-and when they are be- coming these shapes. adorned with knots or fatly applied bows of white supple satin or metallic tissue. with probably pendant ends finished in friagle or balls. are tremendously chic.
