WILSON ON FOOT WILL
LEAD FLAG DAY PARADE

Washington, June 2.-President
Wilson, marching on foot, will lead
the preparedness parade here Flag
day, June IA. Afterward he will re-
view the procession and deliver Flag
Day address to the marchers.
When a committee asked the pres
ldent today to review the parade, he
replied enthusiastically that he not
only would review it, but would march
in it.
The president also promised that, if
possible, he would give permission to
all government employees in Washing
ton to march. He said that he would
start with the procession at the begin
ming, march to the reviewing stand
and drop out for the review.

By Franklin Hichborn.

At the State Bankers convention at
Fresno, the allied saloon, dlstlllery,
brewery and wine interests presented
their case against the prohibition
amendment and the amendment to pre-
vent the sale of intoxicants in public
places. They asked that the conven-
eion adopt resolutions in opposition to
the measuers.
The liquor interests presented their
case to the bankers on the same basis
they are presenting it to the people Of
California; namely, that California Will
suffer great loss if either of the two
measures be ratified. Following the
same methods before the bankers as
they are taking before the people, they
said nothing about the saloons, but
based their whole plea upon the alleged
effect of such legislation upon the wine
industry.
And the Bankers Convention found
nothing in their contention to warrant
the convention going on record against
the two measures.
The resolutions which the allied
liquor forces, in the name of the
vineyard, asked the bankers to adopt
were practically the same as those
which have been put through such bod
les as the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce They set forth that the
state from its earliest history, by leg
islation and through its educational
institutions, has encouraged the grow
ing Of wine grapes. They failed to

Cost Germans Heavily.

Paris, June 2.-More complete ac-
counts reaching here from Verdun
show that the battle which ragged from
May 81 to May 80 and which ended,
according to statement Of the French
war office, in a costly check for the
Germans, was the greatest effort made
by the Teutonic forces in the whole
Verdun operations.
More and heavier guns and denser
masses of troops were assembled
along the three miles of the French
front from Hill No. 3O4 to the Meuse
than in any previous attack.
The French stood firm under an
avalanche of shot and shell and drove
back wave after wave of a flood of
Teutonic infantry. The French sur
rendered only about 100 yards of
ground at Little Caurettes wood,
where trench had been obliterated
by the terrific fire of the German
big guns.
According to information given by
prisoners, the German forces consisted
of two fresh brigades with three COM
panies of pioneers. In the opinion of
French military critics the result was
not only a costly failure for the Ger
mans, but a success for the French,
such as they have rarely attained.
The Germans suffered so heavily
that they ceased further attacks while
the French, by prompt counter at
tack, re-established themselves again
south of Cumieres and won an i'm
portant point of vantage on the south
western slope of Dead Mans hill.

Associations Refuse to
Endorse Liquor Traffic

state, however, that this alleged en-
couragement has been had only at
the most earnest solicitation of the
liquor interests. The legislation pro-
vidinc for it has been put through the
legislature by lobbying methods,
which not infrequently would fail to
stand close scrutiny, and in the face
of the opposition of the informed cit
izenry of the state who recognize the
evils of the liquor traffic.
The resolutions also set forth that
either of the proposed measures would,
if ratified, ruin the whole grape-grow-
ing industry. The resolutions failed
to state, however, that raisin grapes
in California last year year sold for
S1O,OOO,00O, and table grapes for al
most S1O,0O0,000, while all the wine
manufactured in the state last year
had a value of only S6,000,OOO. just
what the men who raised the grapes
from which this wine was made got
for their product is not known. 1t is
known, however, that the wine grape
vineyardist who rot enough from his
grapes to pay the expenses of the
raising was a most fortunate excep-
ton. The state v;ticultural commits
sion is authority for the statement
that 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds of wine grapes
were left on the vines last year to
rot.
So. in an informed body of business
men, the resolutions which the liquor
interests offered were not well re-
ceiveG. The resolution committee,
i however, offered substitute resolu-
ton and moved its adoption.
This substitute resolution was, in
substance:
"Be 1t Resolved, That the Califor-
MIA Bankers Association is unalter-
ably opposed to any legislation which
will ini1re the viticultural industry
or any similar industry in the state. y
This substitute resolution was de-
nounced from the convention floor as
a subterfuge which would be used by
the liquor interests as endorsement OF
their cause.
j. D. Radford of Los Angeles, a
former president of the association,
/ stated in so MANY words that an at
tempt was being made "to put some
thing over" on the convention.
! 1t soon developed that large num-
Der of the delegates regarded the eff
forts of the "wets" to commit the con-
vention to the pro-liquor side to be
most objectionable. The liquor ele-
ment soon saw it would be impossible
for them to put their resolutions
through. They gladly accepted an op-
portunity to escape complete defeat

withdrawing the resolutions.
Commenting upon the action OF the
convention in refusing to be commit
ted to the pro-hquor side OF the con-
troversy, the Fresno Republican IN
its issue of May p says:
The business arguments on behalf
of certain rights of the wine industry
will begin to be entitled to considera-
ton only when the WINE industry pre-
sents them separately. The business
arguments on behalf of the saloons
| (which is the real issue meant even
when most of the talk is about 'wineD
are arguments which simply do not
exist. There are no business con-
siderations whatever in favor of re-
tanning the saloons. All the legitimate
arguments in their behalf are moral
arguments, and, as suggested above,
there are such arguments.
with these moral arguments the
saloons might have at least thee
retical right to approach the churches
and ask for a hearing. Their case,
weak as it may seem and hopeless as
it certainly would be, is moral is
sue before the tribunal of the churches,
is at least nothing like so weak as
their case as a business issue before
any body of business men like the
bankers. The action of the state bank
ers in Fresno indicates that they had
reached this conclusion"
The action of the state bankers is
in line with the general course Of con-
ventions being held throughout the
state, which are not controlled by the
liquor interests or tricked by the liquor
interests.
The Parent Teachers Association OF
Southern California, for example,
which in 1914 tabled a resolution en-
dorsing the 1914 prohibition fight, has
this year adopted resolutions endors-
ing both anti-lquor measures. The
state conference Of social agencies,
which met at Los Angeles early in
May, for the first time went on rec
ord against the liquor traffic by adopt
ing the following strong resolution:
'Inasmuch as alcoholism is a strong
contributing factor to dependency, de-
linqlency and other social problems,
be it resolved that we, the State Con-
ference of Social Agencies, approve
the present state wide campaign to
abolish the manufacture, sale and dis
tribution of alcoholic beverages"
The California Teachers Association,
Southern Section, IN annual convention
at San Diego in November, adopted
resolutions endorsing prohibition for
California, 1916, and the campaign
that is being carried on to secure it..
The California Woman's Club Fed
Grafton, which two years ago did not
permit the resolutions favoring the
prohibition amendment of that year
to go before the convention, this year
without dissenting vote in their con-
vention at Del Monte, endorsed both
anti-liquor measures.
Such is the sentiment throughout
the state, as expressed through i'm
rortant organizations, which see the
advantage to California of settling the
liquor question this fall.

Blu FRANK FILSON

Copyright. 1916. by W. G. Chapman.)
Old Mrs. Susan Jenkins murder had
Mortified the town. Suspicion pointed
at once to Frank jenkins, her nephew,
who, after being repeatedly cut on and
reinstated in the old lady's Will, had
disappeared from the scene for sew
eral years until the week before.
Frank Jenkins struck me as weak
rather than criminal. l could not see
him numbering his aunt in cold blood.
But sentiment was strongly against
him. His only friend was Mabel Arm
strong. who had helped keep the ne'er-
for him to go.
The evidence seemed extremely
strong. Frank had been living with
his aunt for IA week. The old woman,
who was irascible, had threatened
him again with the loss of her prop
erty. So much Jad, the Polish farm
hand, had volunteered through an in
terpreter. Jnd was u sullen, ungainly
lout, who could not speak word of
English. He had been employed about
three weeks and had come from an
immigrant bureau.
The Reeses, who lived next door,
had heard cries during the night, but
had thought the old lady was merely
angry and scolding her nephew. At
six In the morning Frank had burst
into their home. shouting that his aunt
had been murdered. She had been
strangled with IA piece Of tape, and
there were signs Of a struggle in her
room. She clutched u lock of hair in
her hard. 1t WINS obviously Franks
hair. The boy was arrested as soon
as the police came on the scene.
Jad. who had slept in the loft over
the barn, deposed that he had heard
nothing.

however, was Phlneas'. Phineas was

scream sne new ut MN.
Sancho laughed, and, with his free
hand held hers down. And Dick saw
the deadly revolver muzzle begin to
cover his head again.
Sancho waited. He was in no hurry,
and he wanted his enemy to taste
death in all its fulness. But the girl
was becoming nuisance. He flung
her from him, and. as she fell fiat in
the sand he aimed again.
AT that moment Dicks attention was
directed toward n singular CLEAN OF
light among the sandhllls. There was
nothing strange about that. The sun
might be playing upon a stone. But,
again, the light looked somehow like
the CLINT of a rifle barrel.
Dick saw the outlaws finger close
on the trigger, saw Lima raise herself
and stretch out her clasped hands to-
ward Sancho in moaning appeal. Then
the sharp crack of rifle sounded
among the rocks. The trigger finger
stiffened. But Sancho's bullet plowed
through the sand yard from Dicks
head, and Sancho stiffened, toppled,
aud pitched forward.
With a cry Lima flung herself upon
her lovers body. And that was the
last that Dick knew, until he nwoke
to find himself propped up in Doris
