1t IL Claimed That Durant Could
Not Have Committed the Crime
i'm That Time

San Francisco, May 9. - Theodore
Durant's attorneys have discovered
evidence which will enable them to
establish an alibi for their client so
far as the Williams murder case is
concerned. A Market street hair
dresser states that Marian Williams
was a regular patron. She says Miss
Williams entered her shop at = O'Clock
on the night Of her disappearance.
She had her hair dressed, leaving the
shop at S:25. 1t is estimated that by
taking the car Immediately she could
not have reached Emanuel church I'M
til $50. Dqrant's counsel argued that
Durant could not. therefore, have cs-
corted her into the church, outraged
and murdered her and tlen walked
to DR.. Vogels house, where he ar
rived at Y:15.

Chicago, May "a special to the
Post from Washington says: The dis
covery that there is an actual basis
FOR the report that the Alorgan-Rotl,s-
child bond syndicate is consDiring to
corner the gold market has been re.
garded as foolish c:,nalql. 1t is n
iac'. however. that brokers represent
ing this syndicate have been paying
premium for the refined gold output
or the private rcfineries through the
West during the last two months. and
that they are accumulating the gold
at the rate Of $2.5OO.OOO to $1,000, 600
per month. which represents fully two
thirds of the entire gold output of the
United States. In order to divert tho
yellow stream from it's usual channels
leading into the United States mints,
the private purchasers have been
obliged to pay Il premium of 1-1G to
II cent. The premium paid for most
or the gold was Is cent, but SO anx
lous have been the buyers to increase
their lines and get everything in sight
that they have marked up their Guo-
tatlonS during the last few DAYS. AT
the present time they are getting pr:,c-
tlcaliy the entire output of the United
States. excepting at the extreme west
ern coast.
Many long-headed men in Washing
ton and Wall street who are familiar
with the methods of the parties COM
posing the syndicate have jumped to
the conclusion that the foundation is
being laid for another bond deal be-
fore congress meets again. The last
bond deal OF SG2,OOO,thW has been pref
ty well closed out, over SOL ,OOO. 900 in
gold having been paid out of tho S,;4,-

that the entire deal will be cleaned ,lp
before the first day of August.
Under the terms of the contract with
the treasury department the Morgan
Rothschild syndicate has an option on

mfnistration is obliged to issue ;lnoth-
er batch of h0ndS to maintain the gold
reserve the sale must be made to the
syndicate that took the last Issue,
There Is no escape from such action,
1t was nominated specially in tho con-
tract signed by direction of the presi-

The clause in which the syndicate
agrees to maintain the treasury re-

If III the carrying out Of that moral
obligation the syndicate shall decide
that the government must issue an.

nothing to do but comply with the
terms. If the president does not want
to issue any more bonds ut the die

be practically wiped out in tci, days,

Cured ut the plant of the Illinois Steel
company in South Chicago yesterday,
1,2OO men throwing down their tools
aud walking out. Last evening a fight
occurred in the company's yards, and
1t was found necessary to call in the
police. The strikers for time stood
their ground against the officers, but
were soon routed and driven from tile
premises. The men most seriously
hurt We're:
Jack Shepherd, a machinist, struck
on the mead by hammer in the hands
of a striker; severe scalp wound, rem
dered unconscious, will recover.
Edward Shaska, striker, thrown out
of machine shop by workmen; body
bruises.
Officer Leiden1ecker, hit with
coupling pin; bad cut over right eye.
Officer Patrick McCauley. hit in
mouth with brick.
Twenty-eight men, who are said TO
have heen the leaders of the strikers
at the rioting We're arrested and locked
up at the South Chicago police station.
They are charged With rioting. They
are all ignorant Hungarians, Poles and
RoLemians.
The strikers were at first disposed to
be orderly and peaccable, but later af-
fairs took OH an ugly aspect, and it
was found necessary to call on the
police to drive them out. Shortly be-
fore six O'clock a crowd numbering
1.tiW men forced their way past the
Watchmen ut one of the gates and pro-
ceeded to take possession of the COM
pany's property. They marched first
to where some of the labOring men
were still at work. and either COM
PEELED them to join their ranks or quit
work. Not much trouble was expert
enced with the laborcrs, but when the
strikers reached the machine shops
where about 100 machinists We're cm-
ployed. they met with different re-
ceptiOn. The nachinists have Il scale
of their own and the fight of the other
men made no particular difference to
them. and they refused either to quit
or to allow themselves TO he driven out
of the yards. The strikers. who. for
the most part We're Hungarians and
Poles. made several attempts to per-
suade the m:lclinists to leave their
WI N, DN' tIINitl ulSuSSeSSlul,
they bcgan an attack upon the ma
chine Sht4, with stones and such
weapons as they could pick up. The
machinists. for the most part. stood
their ground and gave the strikers as
good as they sent. The fight was
growing warm, and broken heads and
bloody noses We're growing very conf
mon when the police. who had been
summoned when the fight first began,
arrived. They were under the COM
mand Of Capt. jenkins. who at once
made a charge on the mob with his
handful Of officers. The strikers at
first refused to give ground. and the
police used their clubs freely. This
did not have the desired effect, and
Capt. jenkins ordered his men to draw
their revolvers and fire over the heads
Of the strikers. AS soon as this was
done the mob broke and fled wildly
from the premises of the company.

The Minnesota Supreme Court De-
livers Four Opinions
st. Paul, May 9.-Of four decisions
handed down by Judge Canty. of the
supreme court, three affirmed the find
ings of the lower court and one was q
reversal. In the Peterson and Ostby
case the law directing the manner of
drawing grand juries was defined and
the lower court sustained in it's denial
of Il motion to set aside second in
dictment. This is the famous Judge
Ives case. of the Fifteenth judicial dis
trict.
In the case of the I.ehigh Coal and
Iron company VS.. E. Il. Scallen and
others, the court considered what was
implied in an apparently unlimited
guarantee of credit. The guarantee
stated: II hereby agree to become re-
sponsible for any amount of credit you
may give him." The court holds that
there must be a rcasona BILE limit to the
credit given, and that it should be de-
termined by the business standing of
