Another Cut In Federal
Taxes, Coolidge's Promise
FLEE AS
FIRE RAKES WATER
FRONT IN E. BOSTON

Boston, June 22-(AP)-F " 9
alarms have been sounded for a fire
which broke out late this afternoon
in the Manson Company Lumber
Yard on the East Boston waterfront.
Apparatus from all parts of The city
was dispatched to the scene.
The blaze started in the two story
wooden building of the Harris Chemi-
cal Company, spread to a storehouse
OF the firm and then into the lumber
yard in the rear. I aring from one
stack of piled timber to another the
flames leaped to a four story brick
factory building nearby, which is oc-
cupied by five firms.
All of these buildings were destroy
ed but two hours after the fire was
discovered the firemen believed they
had checked it's further spread. The
roof of the factory building collapsed
but warning had been given and no
casualties have been reported.
More than fifty factory employees,
including a score of girls, were as
sisted from the burning building by
the firemen. Occupants fed a half
dozen tenements in the vicinity when
sparks ignited the roofs. These scat
tered fires were gextinguisht with
small damage.
The total loss was estimated at
$150,000, most of which was SUSTAIN
ed by the lumber company which also
owned the factory building. The Gem
Theatre, two blocks away, and Police
Station Z, even further distant, were
among the buildings slightly damaged
when flying sparks ignited the roofs.
Three firemen were slightly injured
when the walls Of the factory fell.
Beside all the apparatus which
could be crowded on the scene, fire
boats along the waterfront brought
streams to bear.

French two-masted schooner Cherie,
which was seized off the Hancock
county shore by Federal prohibition

of French liquors, valued at approx
mately s275,000. was being towed
here today.
Captain. Harry Ducos Of Bordeaux,
France, and the members of the crew
were to be arraigned before a Fed
eral commissioner here. AS the

information which may lead to other
seizures in New England. No re-
sistance was offered by the members
of the crew, who were taken by sur

two coast guardsmen in the small
launch, Catherine, appeared out of
