THE MYSTERY OF THE ROLL CALL
Suspicion That Records Have Been Doc
tOred in Favor of Durrant.

-
San Francisco, Sept. 29.-The last has
not been heard of the roll call which
was introduced in evidence by the attor-
neys of Theodore Durrant on Thursday.
The roll call was introduced to show that
the accused attended DIR. Cheney's lecture
on the fatal after noon of April 5 The
development of the fact in the course OF
DR.. Gray's testimony that the record for
that date was in reality not the original,
has given the prosecution an opportunity
to follow up the matter and possibly show
that deliberate attempt has been made
on the part Of somebody to shield Dur
rant.
DIR. Gray acknowledged that the rec
ord which stands in the book at present
under the date of April 8, was originally
entered in the column which should have
marked the proceedings of March 81. Sub
sequently he said, the latter was erased,
and the absent" and other marks trans
ferred to their proper place in the col
umn for April 8. The page bearing the
records for March still clearly shows
where the erasures were made, and I'M
der a strong magnifying glass shows,
though somewhat indistinctly, the en-
tries which 1t was attempted to obliterate.
District Attorney Barnes and Captain
Lees have examined the roll call, par
| ticularly the erasures, and they are IN
| clined to think that the mark opposite
DuTFdHL WdS OIl6iidlIy al a. III
dicating the accused was absent on that
| day. The argument is put forward that
| if Durrant had been present at the lee
| ture there would have been no mark
| whatever opposite his name, unless he
| had been examined, and in that event a
| cross would have been there, and this
| mark was not a cross.
| Attorney Deuprey has not yet opened up
| his batteries upon the Rev. J. George
| Gibson, pastor of the Emanuel Baptist
church. The attorney for the defense, in
| his opening statement, practically assert
| ed that DR.. Gibson ought to be the de-
| PENDANT at the bar in place of Durrant
| He has said, however. that as soon as he
| finishes with his evidence regarding the
| chisel found in the pastors study, the
| hammer and the alleged bloody shoe he
| will proceed to show that the writing or
| the copy of newspaper in which Blanche
| Lamont's rings were wrapped bears E
| striking resemblance to the pastors style
of chirography In order to do this it will
| be necessary to produce experts on hand
| writing. So far as is known no expert:
| of this character have as yet been sum
| moned,

TelegramS of Sympathy.

Paris, Sept. 29.-The government has
decided to hold a state funeral for the
late Professor Louis Pasteur, the emil
nent doctor who died on Saturday even
ing.
Professor Pasteur's wife has received
kilograms of sympathy from President
Faure, NJ. Challemel La Cour. president
of the senate, and from all parts of the
world.

THEY PASSED THE LIE
Angry Controversy Between the
Normal School Trustees.
ALL BEFORE The W0RKMEN
Very Lively Meeting of the Board Is
Expected to Be Held at
Cheney.

Cheney, Sept. ga bitter row be-
tween two of the three trustees of the
state normal school here threatens to
divide the good people of Cheney into
two opposing camps. One of these
camps is loyal to the cause of Trustee
r. H. Manner; the other adheres to the
cause of Trustee Walters. The latter
has the support of Banker Percival
The trouble grows directly out of the
resignation of Superintendent Reilly,
who had charge of the construction of
the new building for the normal school,
Mr.. Reilly was appointed to the place
about two months ago, after spirited
race by half dozen applicants. Other
applicants for the 500 job at that time
were T. M. Grove, Alexander Hogg,
r. A. Moore, William Wraight and
Alec Watt. 1t Is understood that Archi-
tect G. B. Seaton wanted Alexander
Hogg appointed to the place, but
Trustee Walters favored Mr.. Reilly,
who is a close friend, and had his way.
When Architect Seatop discovered,
the other day, that inferior materials
were entering into the new building,
he advised the superintendent to re-
sign, and Mr.. Reilly acted on the ad-
vice. In reporting the matter, Trustee
Manner said that Mr.. Reilly was asked
to resign, and Trustee Walters took
exception to that word and became very
angry at the reverend gentleman.
There had been several wordy passages
between the two trustees, and these
eliminated yesterday in most unfor-
tunate episode. The two trustees met
at the building, and in the presence of
the workmen Mr. Walters called Mr..
Manner "a id old liar" Rev. Man
Ter, like Sol Smith Rus Ill In Peaceful
Valley" tried hard to be Christian,
and curbed himself to the extent of
only calling Mr.. Walters IAN infamous
liar and dishonest man."
A hot time is expected at the board
meeting tomorrow. Trustee Dempsie,
who has been absent in British Column
bia for some time, and who has held
aloof and tried to act as peacemaker,
is coming down from Spokane in the
morning, and as he holds the key to
the situation, his arrival and action are
anxiously awaited. Architect Seaton is
also coming down.
1t is said that Mr.. Dempsie will take
a firm position at tomorrow's meeting.
1t is expected that he will declare that
unless these differences can be oblit-
Grated, and the board work in har-
mony for the upbuilding of the great
institution over which they hold a SOL
emn trust, he will bring the matter to
the immediate attention of Governor
McGraw.
The question of choosing a successor
to Superintendent Reilly will come up
at tomorrow meeting. 1t is thought
here that Architect Seaton will then
take the position that he ought to be
permitted to name Mr.. Reilly's success
or; and failing in that will advocate
that no appointment be made.

THE OHIO DEMOCRATIC Campaign
Short Fight aud a Merry One the OF
der of the Day.

N ri6ht a VIC thS va
der of the Day.
Columbus, Ohio, Sept 29.-On the
principle of a short fight and a merry
one the Buckeye democrats have de
layed until yesterday the Inauguration
of the. states campaign, which conse
quently will be of but five weeks dura
ton. The firing of the opening gun
was preceded by a great parade of local
and visiting clubs. Thousands of dem
ocrats from different points in the state
were present. The fact that ex-Gov
ernor Campbell had already addressed
one meeting in the western reserve.
and outlined the plan of campaign,
practically robbed the opening of one OF
it's important features. The speakers
besides the ex-governor, were John H.
Clarke of Youngstown, Ohio, who dis.
tinguished himself in the state con.
vention of 1894 by a bitter attack upon
Senator Brice; John B. Peaslee, candi'
date for lieutenant governor; ex-Con'
gresham Cultivate; Lawrence T, Neal
the free trade apostle, and ex-Con
gresham John F. Follett. The speech
es were mainly devoted to state issue:
and to celebrating the party cry, tha
the democratic tariff has had marvel
Gus effect in resuscitating a depressed
country.

A TEN MILLION DOLLAR SCHEME
Opposition to lroject Agitatcd by Lord
Rothschild.

London, Sept 2S.-There is trouble in
the Jewish colony over Lord Rothschild's
scheme to build a COLOSSEUM, synagogue
clergy house and Jewish settlement in
White Chapel at cost of 100000
Sir Samuel Montague declares that he
will oppose the scheme to the utmost.
White Chapel is already congested with
Jews and rents there are as high as in
Mayfair. 1t would be unnecessary, says
Sir Samuel, while the government is med
itating anti-alien legislation, to attract
still more Jews to London. 1t would be
| far better, he thinks, to try to induce the
Jews to leave England for some of the
colonies beyond the ocean.
The duke of York, who is now a captain
in the navySw will be promoted to the flag
rank in January.
