In both house and senate every gal

and women went early so as to secure
good seats in anticipa ton of the voting
for the election of Il United States SEN

The nomination of the candidates

Fourteenth Day,

The Senate proceedings were enliv-
ened to-day by a continuation of the
exhibition of feeling engendered by the
resolutions presented by the W. G. r.
U. and the Equal Suffrage League of
Denver, concerning the election of
United States senator. Senator Felix
ers reference to these ladies who pre-
Sented these resolutions as "hatchet-
faced women" was the primary cause
of the disturbance. His remarks con-
sisted chiefly of denials of the express
sions attributed to him, but when goad-
ed by some very unpleasant charges
from the opposition he felt compelled
to apologize, which he did by with
drawing the opprobrious term "hatchet-
faced women" and substituting in its
stead "battle-aXes."

presented his report on State Canal No.
l, which was ordered printed.
Some of the senators took this as an
added insult to the women and de-
scended upon the senator from the first

ing the culprit out of the Senate cham
Der by the nose and kicking him down
the steps of the capitol. Senator Boyd
declared him to be man of lecherous
mind, and said he ought to be COM
PEELED to apologize to the Senate for the
stain he had cast upon it. Senator Bare
la thought charges should be preferred
against Senator Felker and that he
should be reprimanded.
The discussion attracted everybody
In the capitol and the galleries were
crowded early in the debate, which
consumed nearly the entire afternoon.
Senator Blakey's resolution to ad-
journ the legislature on February ii
brought out n strong opposition, and
after warm debate was tabled. Sen
ator brakes resolution for special
committee on canals and reservoirs
touched the feelings of the committee

The town of San Bernardino, Cali
fornia, like nearly every other town
in civilization, has q jail. But 1t is
conducted on an entirely different
plan from that of any other of these
institutions, and one which does not
seem to have yet suggested itself to
the advocates of prison reform. It
appears that prisoners who are under
sentence there are permitted to go
and come at their pleasure, and to
attend places of amusement, and if
they are from the vicinity there is no
objection made to their "going homo
nights" Certainly it cannot be said
that the United States does not fur

A VERY UNIQUE TRIAL.

The most remarkable thing about
the Durrant trial is the weakness Of
both prosecution and defense.
The prosecution has failed 70 prove
that Blanche Lamont was murdered
by Durrant and could have been muir
dered by no one else, and has also
failed to show that his character vas
such as to make any such deed on his
part probable.
All sorts of wild stories have been
published by the irresponsible space
filters whom the morning papers have
turned loose on the Durrant case in
hOrdes. According to them Dnrrant
was this. that and the other sort of
man. and the prosecution was going
to present witnesses TO prove all sorts
1f things against him. It did moth
ing of the kind. All it proved was
that Durrant was the last person seen
with Blanche Lamont before she was
murdered.
On the other hand the defense has
not only failed to come up 10 the ex-
pectations the space filters had raised
in the public mind, but fallen entirely
short Of its own promises, for it did
not get the witnesses it expected to
have. Instead Of sweeping away the
fabric of the prosecution, it has not
damaged it at all; and all it has
shown on its own part is that Durrant
bore a good character in the church
and among his associates, had no par
ticularly close acquaintanceship with
Miss Lamont and had a reasonable
excuse for being in the church build
ing on the fatal afternoon.
For all the defense has done, Dur
rants counsel might as well have
asked for a verdict Of acquittal when
the prosecution had closed its case,
and, on refusal of the Judge to give
such an instruction, have rested its
own case.
