Nix EpIroR:
| wish To correct statement with

made by Prof Bee Hopkins, in the
issue Of the u inst, entitled, Teach
crs Heads to Break Bark Over"
Mr.. Hopkins asserts that it only
took $4,000 to pay all the teachers
of Washington district last year; when
as a matter of fact, it took Sl21700.
This Is shown by the Sheriff. settle.
mcnt with the district and the coum-
~ court.
This shows that Mr. Hopkins was
either misinformed or mistaken in
his calculation, aud ns fine calcula-
tor rs he IL, would not be likely to
vary SO far from the correct thing.
Ills calculation was evidently made
by Mike and L."
He also says in his statement that
the Sheriff has been making lev
les in Washington district, claiming
it was for the 'upport of the teachers,
IN order to prejudice the people
against the teachers; all oS which is
false, and, absolutely without founda-
tinn.
agree with the Prof. that the
State Fund should he placed in the
hands of some person other than the
Sheriff, and as the Sheriff only gives
$40, 10000 bond for the school fund,
would recommend that it he placed
in the hands Of some retiring school
officer.
lie furthermore states that Washing
ton district need raise but 500 by
levy this year to run the schools the
ensuing winter Now, the Board of
Education did not 50 think as they
had to raise about $500 Tor this pur-
pose. This shows that he has been
very badly informed as to the fnan-
citl condition of our district.

ANCESTRY OF DURRANT,
Not of Austrian but English
Origin, Says the Grand
father.
Still Believes His Grandson to Be
Innocent of the Crime Charged
Against Him.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May ga clip
ping from San Francisco paper stating
that Theodore Durrant, the alleged MUIR
durer of Minnie Williams and Blanche
Lamont, was of Hungarian ancestry, was
shown to Thomas Durrant, grandfather of
the accused young man, to-day.
The old man read the article and re-
marked: "That is news to me. My grand
son is of English descent. l was born in
England myself. in the village of Holt,
County Norfolk, about ten miles from
Sandringham Palace, the Prince of Wales
country seat. So far as I know, all the
Durrants are English. The family name,
when accented on the last syllable, sounds
French, but properly pronounced. the &C
cent is on the first syllable, which makes it
quite English. The story that came to
this country from Austria is absurd"
Mr.. Durrant added that he left England
and settled in Canada i'll 1916, being To-
Gated in Toronto for many years, from
which place the family emigrated to Cali
fornia in 1882. He came from San Fran
cisco to Los Angeles about two years ago.
mo, I do not consider my grandson
guilty." said the old man. Knowing the
boy so well, do not think it possible that
he could have committed such a crime.
There is strong circumstantia4 evidence
against him, [ admit, but not strong
enough to convict him. 1 have yet failed
to note any circumstance to connect him
directly with the killing of either of the
girls. If it can be proved beyond doubt
that he is guilty then L hope the law will
take it's course. l would not raise my
hand to save him from the galIows if 1 be-
ieved him guilty"
When asked who he thought was the
guilty party if his grandson was inno-
cent, Mr.. Durrant said, undoubtedly some
one connected with Emmanuel Church
and as familiar with the premises as
Theodore, but who it was he could not
conjecture. If the detectives had ar
rested all parties who had access to the
church and not confined their investiga-
ton solely to his grandson the real Gull
prit might have been discovered.
Theodore Durrant's father was in Los
Angeles several months ago trying to in
terest some capitalists to join him in es-
ta5lishing a shoe factory here. He had a
plant at Oakland, which he desired to re-
move to this city, but did not receive the
proper encouragement. He was after
ward obliged to sell it, and the elder Dur
rant says his son has already bankrupted
himself in trying to defend Theodore.
