DURRANT REMAINS COMPOSED
Argument in His Case Opened by the
Assistnnt District Attorney.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24.-Assstant
District Attorney Peixoto today made the
opening argument for the prosecution in the
trial of Theodore Durrant. When court con-
vened today General Dickinson asked that
Miss Cunningham be recalled, but she was
only asked a few unimportant questions and
then excused. The remainder OF the day was
occupied by Mr.. Peixoto. He discussed the
evidence in the case from the time Durrant
accompanied Miss Lamont to school on the
morning of April until he appeared before
Organst King in Emanuel church at 5
o'clock in the afternoon, pale, trembling and
excited. He closed by asking the jury to
uphold the laws of the state by rendering a
verdict Of guilty and fixing the penalty at
death
During Mr.. Peixoto's argument the court
room was crowded Rev. j. George Gibson
of Emanuel church and his secretary,
Robert N. Lynch, occupied seats near the
jury box and paid close attention TO the
speaker. Durrant sat stolid and Indifferent
in his usual place beside his attorneys sur
rounded by his father, mother and a number
of friends. Durrant betrayed no emotion or
feeling, even when accused of murders that
were compared with the crimes of Jack the
Ripper in the Whitechape district OF Lon
don. His mother, however, looked more
thoughtful and depressed than she has at
any other time since the trial began.
When Mr.. Peixoto closed his argument at
$3.50 o'clock General Dickinson, for the de-
fense, asked for a continuance until Monday
in order that Attorney Deuprey might make
the opening argument for the defense. He
produced certificate from Mr. Deuprey S
physician to the effect that he was unable
to appear in court at present but would prob
ably be well enough to resume his duties on
Monday. District Attorney Barnes objected
to the delay and as the court was opposed

FUNDS IN SAMOA RUNNING Low
Natives Decline to Pay Taxes to tn e
Present Governments.


APIA, Samoa, Oct. S.-(Per steamer Mari
posa, via San Francisco, Oct. 24.)-The politi-
cal situation remains unchanged The rebel
party is maintaining defiant attitude and
refuses to pay taxes. The loyal party make
that fact an excuse for the non-payment of
their own taxes and public funds are low.
Several Of the rebel natives have beep maxi
ing trouble and refuse to allow foreign
claimants who have tracts of land, awarded
to them by the land committee and the SUI
preme court, to occupy such land. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest of the Of
tenders, but 1t will not be possible to enforce
such warrants unless the assistance OF the
foreign warshps is granted.
The important case Of Fellman, Neylan &
Hobbs of San Francisco against the National
Bank of New Zealand and others, involving
the title to many thousand acres of valuable
land in Samoa, has just been decided by
Chief Justice Ide after lengthy trial. The
property involved is the so-called American
land claims. which has been a subject Of
controversy for twenty years or more. The
decision holds the amount claimed to be
the first in right and secures all the lands
to the plaintiffs provided their interests, to
be proven by further evidence, are sufficient
to absorb all the lands, but II the property
is more than sufficient to satisfy all Ameri-
can claims, then the surplus is to go to the
defendants.

Suit Over Poll Tnx.

DES MONIES Oct. 24.-(special.)-A great
deal of interest is being taken here in several
suits pending, in which the validity of the
poll tax law is being contested AS yet the
case has not gone beyond the justice court
but the pleadings filed are more extensive
than those filed in many hot suit in the
district court. The case is to be decided
Tuesday and meantime the justices have re-
fused to permit other suits to be brought, as
this is to go to the supreme court If neces-
sary to determine the right to enforce the
collection by suit and garnishment or at
tachment. 1t is claimed the collector has nc
right to collect by suit and that poll tax
can be collected only as are other personal
taxes, by levy on chattels.

After the Alleged auacks.

Informatons will probably be filed today
against several men who have been practicing
medicine in Council Bluffs charging them
with failure to comply with the state law,
which requires them to obtain certificate
from the State Board Of Health. Prosecu-
tions Of this kind are no new thing, for about
every so often the physicians who are so
fortunate as to be able to read their titles
clear have found it necessary to get after
the other fellows, Considerable time has
elapsed since the last prosecution, and the
crop now is said to be larger than common.

WILL ESTABLISH ANOTHER OFFICE
United states Masonic benevolent As
sOcintiOn Holds a Mccting.


sOciatiOn Holds n Meeting.
stockholders meeting Of the United
States Masonic Benevolent association was
held yesterday forenoon at the Masonic tenn
pie and an amendment to the bylaws was
adopted which provides that another princl-
pal office of the association may be es-
tablised at Chicago in addition to the one
already here. Secretary Richardson, when
questioned yesterday afternoon as to what
this action might mean, stated that he could
not tell Just now.
I'VE may move our Council Bluffs office
to Chicago sometime in the future but
1t is entirely problematical. We are iucor-
porated under the laws Of Iowa and the law
compels us to keep our records in the state
where we are incorporated. We have ha,,
an office in Chicago for the past five years,
under the management of Mr.. Brown, who
has had charge Of the agencies. He has three
clerks, and l have five here. So you can
form some idea as to the proportion of bust
ness done by each The object Of opening
another principal office is merely to bring
the department Of agencies into closer union
with the secretary's office"
Another change in the bylaws was that
with reference to the requirements for admis-
sion, When the association was started the
membership was rot limited to any society,
or even to men, but non -Masons and women
were admitted. Later on the lines were
drawn more closely, and only Masons could
belong. Now the doors are thrown open
little wider and the age at which people
can be admitted is lowered from 81 to is
years.
