SAYS DuRRANT INsCLrEp HER.
Unknown Woman BADLY wanted Now
Witness.

Unknown woman Nnd1y Wanted Now
Witness.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-The chase for
the woman whom it is alleged was invited
into Emanuel church by Durrant, and to
whom he subsequently appeared nude, still
continues. The story is to the effect that
Durrant met the woman under an arrange
ment to take her to party or social gath
ering. The two met in accordance with the
agreement and as they approached the
church Durrant suddenly thought of the
books he needed at the meeting. He induced
his companion to enter the church with him,
and left her in side room while he dsap-
peared into the library. Soon, the story
goes, he returned minus his clothing. The
lady, though half fainting from fright. kept
her presence of mind and by strategem es-
capped without her hat and gloves. These ar
tcles he handed out Of one Of the front win
dows to her with the threat of death If she
should say word about the affair.
This story is anonymous and no one has
come forward to substantiate It. The ut
most efforts of the police have failed to show
that there is a particle of truth in the ac-
cusation. Men and women are found in
abundance who say they have heard other
people say 1t was true, but when pressure
is brought to bear the fabric collapses. Cap
tain Lees, however. still believes that the ru-
NOR has foundation in fact.
Two additional jurors were secured today
to try Theodore Durrant for the murder of
Blanche Lamont. The third panel of seventy
five names having been exhausted an order
was issued for a venire of l50 new names
The additional jurors secured today are NJ.
r. Dempster, a commission merchant, and
Nathan Croker, contractor. -Four jurors in
all have so far been secured. Counsel for
both the prosecution and defense are pleased
at the character of the men thus far chosen.
Instead of being driven, as heretofore, from
the county Jail to the city hall in the sherff's S
private buggy, Durrant was today conveyed
in the ordinary prison van with less notable
prisoners. He still continues to be the sub,
iect of much "hero worship" AS he was
leaving the court room well dressed and
handsome woman rushed toward him with
endearng words and attempted to embrace
him. The sheriff protected Durrant from this
admirer and also refused to deliver the guam
titles Of flowers sent TO his cell by STRANGERS.

NEW YORK, July 31.-The principal feat
ure today in the tailors' strike situation was
the issuing Of bonded agreements to con-
tractors. OF these 10, representing over
eighty shops furnished the required security
and it is expected that 1000 coatmakers will
resume work tomorrow. The strike, though
somewhat abated is still on and the strikers
declare they will fight until the contractors
have all fallen in line and acknowledged their
defeat by signing the new agreement.
About 100 cloakmakers from the factory
of II. GerSchel & Son today quit work be
cause the prOprietors charged the workers
with using cotton instead of silk threads in
making garments. This the cloakmakers
denied and made demand for an increase
Of so cents day in the scale of wages, which
was refused and strike Immediately fol
lowed. The strikers We're received with
shouts OF applause when they presented them
selves at the general headquarters at Wal
halla hall
The headquarters Of the arbitrators was
thronged in the afternoon with contractors
and their bondsmen anxious to file papers Of
agreement and set the machinery in their
shops hrmming once again. The contractors
were in executive session all the afternoon.
They try to dscreilt the statements that the
contractors are yielding TO the demands Of
the strikers and threaten to boycott all those
who may yield so that II would appear from
the attitude of the contractors that they pro-
pose prolongng the existence Of the strike.
Meyer Schoefeldt, however, said the tangle
would not be Strengthened out for at least
ten days more, as some Of the belligerent
contractors would have to be brought to their
knees and forced to recognize the power Of
the Brotherhood Of Talors. II is expected
the major portion Of the strikers will be

Ownership of the Townsfte of POnca
City Passed Upon.

PERRY, Okl., July 31.-A decision involv-
ing a portion of the town of Ponca City
was rendered in the local land Office here
this morning, giving the land on which are
the Santa Fe depot and many of the best
buildings Of the town to Andrew NJ. Waugh,
homesteader. During the hearing it was
developed that one Of the claimants obtained
a booth certificate at Arkansas City, and as
there was no authority for booth at that
place, it was held that the certificate was
no good and the holder was not entitled to
hold land in the Cherokee strip. This deci-
sion, If sustained in the department, will
knock thousands Of men out Of claims they
are now holding. The department, ct the
opening Of the Cherokee strip, only made
provisions for eight booths. to be located on
a hundred feet strip surrounding the land to
be opened. The crowd was so great around
the booth four miles south Of Arkansas City
that some enerprislng man, whose name has
never been known, procured 1900 blank
certificates and opened a booth in the heart
of Arkansas City and isSued nearly 5000
before his place was torn down by orders
from the secretary All people holding these
certificates under this decision are liable to
lose their lands.
