MRS, VOGEL KEPT HER EYES ON DURRANT.

start from his post and hurry in the direc-
ton of Clay street. Two of the young
ladies whom Mrs. Vogel had noticed come
out of the school had nearly reached the
corner in front of the Fulton Market and
she at once surmised the young man de-
sired to overtake them. She was not mis-
taken.
The moment the young man reached
the young women they half turned, and
he took off his hat, as if making the usual
salutation. A car came up at this time,
and Mrs. Vogel saw the young man and
one of the young women get on the east
side of the dummy, while the other young
lady went inside the car. The car moved
off and with it the idea faded from Mrs.
Vogels mind that the young man she had
watched so long and narrowly was sus-
picious character.
That is the general story of what Mrs.
Vogel will testify to when placed on the
stand by the prosecution, and it will be
seen that while it will wholly corroborate
the testimony of the three Normal School
girls, who have already told their stories,
it goes further-very much further. 1t
tallies exactly with every word uttered on
the witness stand by Miss Minnie Belle
Edwards, who was the only student at the
school who had made any advances to
Miss Lamont at all.
- Upon her two separate examinations
Miss Edwards said that she had come
down the steps of the school in company
with Blanche Lamont just after school had
been dismissed on the afternoon OF April
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-21

8. Together the two walked to the corner
of Clay and Powell streets, with the in
tention of taking car. Almost at the in
stant they got to the corner young man,
whom she positively identifies as Theo-
dore Durrant, came up and greeted Miss
Lamont Miss Edwards then went inside
the car, and Miss Lamont and her escort
took seats on the east side of the dummy.
From this and the statement of Mrs.
Vogel, it can be readily surmised that
Miss Edwards was the young lady she had
seen with Blanche Lamont when they met
the young man, whom they both identify
as Theodore Durrant.
The statement of Mrs. Vogel that she
had watched the young man for nearly an
hour as he walked up and down in front of
the school is of value for the reason that it
gave her that full length of time to take
the most critical notes of his general ap-
pearance; and for the further reason that,
if it establishes anything, it establishes the
fact that Durrant certainly could not have
been at the Cooper Medical College in time
for any part of the lecture of DIR. Cheney
before $50 o'clock at the very earliest,
even supposing that he had only ridden a
block or so past California street, where
the Misses Lannigan and Pleasant last saw
him on that day, and then alighted. This
is allowing that what Mrs. Vogel and the
Normal School girls say is true and that
Durrant made the quickest possible con-
nections.
Mrs. Vogel and her testimony were
totally unknown to the police until a few
days ago, when Captain Lees received an
intimation of the existence of the lady.
He had some difficulty in locating her
whereabouts, and it was only on Monday
that one of his men made call at her
residence. What he discovered there is
probably in line with the statement made
last night by Mrs. Vogel to a reporter for
The CALL. She was very nervous at the
imminence of the publicity about to be
thrust upon her, but finally admitted that
she had seen young man she was positive
was Durrant in company with Normal
School girl on the afternoon of April 8.
81 saw him." she said, 'from 2 o'clock
till o'clock on that afternoon, my atten-
ton first being attracted to him as was
on the lookout for suspicious characters.
Several robberies had occurred in the
neighhorhood about the first of the month.
The house of Samuel Newman, secretary of
the Board of Railway Commissioners, at
9o7 Powell street, had been entered, and
Kelly's house on the corner of Sacramento
and Powell streets had also been visited
by the thieves. One lady, remember,
was knocked down and robbed by a
hold-up on Sacramento street, and

Pelton, architect, member of the associa-
ton, was read. 1t called the attention of
the association to the desirability of hav-
ing the ferry depot constructed of marble
from California quarries. He set forth:
Marble deposits have been located in many
parts of the State, the State meteorological map
showing at least twelve such locations; and in
the mineral collection at the State Mining
Bureau are specimens OF marble from most of
these locations. I, myself, have specimens
from ten of these locations, where competent
experts have pronounced the deposits of sufi.
cient extent and the quality of marble to be
such, as to justify their development for build
ing purposes.
The peculiar beauty of several varieties of
California marble is well known, and the re-
markedly rich coloring of the same has at
tracted the attention of a New York architect,
who now has under consideration the question
OF using 1t on a large contract in the East for
interior decoration.
There is a large amount of marble used in
this City for interior decoration, wainseoting,
paneling, stairway, plumbers work, floor and
monumental work. | would estimate that in
late years the amount of Vermont, Tennessee,
Italian and foreign marble used in large build
ings in this City will amount to 100000, and
would further estimate that the amount of
plumbing marble for bathroom work annually
used in this City is not less than $500, 900.
This is almost entirely Italian marble-a small
portion being Tennessee marble-and, at the
same time, our California varieties are far
more beautiful and more durable material.
What action should be taken upon this
communication evoked considerable dis
cussion. after which, on the motion of Mr..
Sproule, it was decided to refer it to Secre-
tary Meade, who shall decide if it is best to
send it to the Board of Harbor Commits
sioners.
A proposition of Professor J. H. Tigner
to give illustrated lectures for the purpose
of advertising California industries was re-
ferred to the committee on promotion.

AND SOUTH SIDE,
The Monster Guns of the
BattIe-Ship Oregon to
Arrive Soon.
South Side Clubs Intentions.
Southern Heights Matters.
Solano Street.

It will be about three months yet before
all the batteries are in place on the battle
ship Oregon. The four six-inch guns are
the only ones that have arrived here from
the East so far. In addition, to these there
are to be eight eight-inch guns and four
thirteen-inch guns. The thirteen-inch
guns are expected to arrive next month
and the eight-inch guns in October.
General Manager Dickie of the Union
Iron Works says the thirteen-inch guns
will be the biggest ordnance ever shipped
across the continent-much bigger tnan
the far-famed "Big Betsy" At each dis
charge one of these monsters will be able
to send an 1100-pound ball distance OF
ten miles through the air at velocity of
200 feet q second. At very close range four
inches of steel can be penetrated by shot
from one of these mammoth naval de-
stroyers.
Contractors Warren 81 Malay have the
granite curbs strung along both sides of
Solano street at the Potrero for seven
blocks northward from Kentucky street,
which they are now at work on paving
with basalt blocks.
The Southern Heights Improvement
Club is still Juggling away at the Spring
Valley Water Company for better service.
It's agitation in favor of good lights has
succeeded, and the hope is therefore enter
tanned by its members that in time they
may secure better treatment from the
hands of the Spring Valley monopoly than
they have been getting. The .'heights"
are now pretty well illuminated with cleo
trio arc lights.
The influence of this club will be used on
the Market-street Railway Company to
hasten if possible the running of the cars
on Solano street. 1t is generally feared
that the company might try to put off run
ming the cars till the Bryant-street power
house is completed. Potrcro property
owners argue that if there is power enough
obtainable to run the cars on the Sixteenth
and Fillmore streets portion of this
route there ought to be sufficient to run
them for the rest OF the way.
A meeting was held last night at
Irish-American Hall, 818 Howard street.
by the South Side Improvement Club for
the purpose of hearing the reports of sew
eral committees respecting the Folsom
street matter. A. B. Mcguire, of the COM
mirtee chosen to personally interview
the Supervisors, states that quite a num-
Der have expressed themselves as being in
favor of the improvements, notwithstand-
ing the adverse action. of the Finance
Committee. The date and place of the
proposed mass-meeting will probably be
then settled upon.
1T is the intention of the South Side
people to keep up the agitation for the
illuminating of Folsom street until it
succeeds, if it takes all this year and Mex"

day afternoon.

a watchout for suspicious characters.
Well. on the afternoon of the Sd of April,
while was sitting at my window here
saw young man at the bottom of the
steps of the school across the street.-the
stairs nearest Clay street. I stopped my
sewing and resolved to watch him. did
so for few moments, and then, as if he
had become tired, he began pacing up and
down the sidewalk in front of the school.
He was walking slowly, and he gradually
increased his beat as far north as the door
of Judge TreadwelPs house.
81 watched him intently, my mind be-
ing Immediately made up that he was a
suspicious character, and l noticed partic-
ularly his dress and his face SO that
might be able to identify him If he was
ever connected with any robbery. He had
on black cutaway coat, a SLOUGH hat and
grayish pair of trousers. Once or twice
when the sun became too hot for him he
took off his hat and wiped his face with his
handkerchief. Then 1 noticed that his
hair was long and that he had little bit
of a mustache.
"He walked up and down, up and down,
until school was out, and as the girls
came down the stairs he took up his stand
at the lamppost. / noticed two girls who
were ahead of the others walk in the di-
rection of Clay street. He caught sight of
them and started hurriedly after them.
He overlook the girls at the butchers
corner and took off his hat. Just then a
north bound car came along and OBJ
structed my view for minute. When it
had Dassed I saw the yol1np man and one
of the young ladies make for the dummy
of the south bound car, which had just run
up, while the other girl had separated
from them. She went inside the car and

Justice Groezinger has taken the matter

WAS MOSES A SOCIALIST ?
Rev. j. Cumming Smiths Address to the
Institute of Applied Chris
tianity.

institute of Applied Chris
tianity.
Rev. j. Cumming Smith was invited by
the Institute of Applied Christianity to
answer the question, "Was Moses So
cialist2" and last evening he read paper
in answer to that query at the Third Con-
gregational Church.
He said in part: "The seed germs of
modern socialism are found in the teach
ings of Moses. Long before the Greek
ancient groves Moses drafted code of
laws. Spencer and George are his fol-
lowers. There is a striking resemblance
between their postulates and the original
postulate of Moses.
;"All the idealsm of that leader tended
to protect the weak as against the strong.
The far-sighted Hebrew policy of making
rural life as honorable, as profitable, as at
tractive as urban life might well be EMU
lated in this age. It is most desirable that
the tendency to congestion at the great
arterial centers of national life be checked.
The essential characteristic of the
Mosaic laws was their humaneness. There
was remarkable grasp of the social prob
lens OF all times, grasp also of the ideal
social system, and an adaptation of one to
the other.
IAClC arc iOuI UIOdQ RONeTIl-
ing the code of Moses. First, the national
water-line of character determined the
scope OF institutions and enterprises. Sec
ond, the brotherhood of man and father
hood of God were emphasized. Hence it
was that the ancient Israelites recognized
that the riches of nature are loaned for un-
selfish use; that land was designed for the
people, not individuals or syndicates.
Third, the Mosaic law encouraged indi-
vidualism, as we understand it, to be the
development of every mans powers to
their utmost for the good of himself and
others. Moses encouraged healthful COM
petition, or perhaps emulation is more
correct term. The trouble with the pres
ent system is that it is individualism gone
mad. Fourth, basic principle of the
system is conservatism. The laws of Moses
stand like the pyramids of Egypt and the
axioms of geometry, Interchangeable"
He spoke of the laws of the Israelites
against usury and concerning lands, and
commended their Sabbatical observances.
In the discussion which followed the
paper he remarked that Moses was not,
according to the common acceptation of
