THIRD WEEK OF TRIAL.
The Durrant Case Will Be Re-
sumed Once Again This
Morning.
WILL JUROR BROWN GO!
Judge Murphy Decides To-Day.
The Accused Mans Attorneys
Deny a Report.

To-day is the beginning of the third
week of the trial of William Henry Theo-
dore Durrant, charged with the murder OF
Blanche Lamont in the Emmanuel Baptist
Church. How many more weeks the trial
Will last is question which can only De
answered by guess. In fact the trial can
hardly be said to be really under way.
full jury has not been secured, only nine
having been chosen. One of these Will, IN
all probability, be excused to-day, leaving
only eight in the box. Other compllca-
tons are also threatened which promise to
cause a still longer delay before the entire
iury is had and the actual taking of testi-
mony begins.
Proceedings will begin promptly at 10
o'clock this morning, and the first thing
which Judge Murphy will be called upon
to decide will be the motion made by Dis
trict ATTORNEY Barnes TO peremptorily
challenge Juror Walter S. Brown.
If Judge Murphy grants the motion and
Mr.. Brown steps down and out of the case,
there will be only eight jurors left. In that
event it is not known exactly what the de-
tense will do, and Attorneys Deuprey and
Dickinson are very conservative in an
nouncing their plans.
Another matter having a bearing on the
case is citations for contempt against the
editors OF the Examiner and Chronicle and
a reporter of the former paper, John P.
Barrett for interviewing Jurors.
General Dickinson will also make q re-
quest for the issuance of citations for the
editors of other daily papers in the City in
connection with the same matter. He an
nounced last week that such was his inten-
ton, and he will carry it out so as not to
be partial, he says. This issue alone will
consume considerable time of the court.
As the last lot of veniremen has been
exhausted, a new order for 100 additional
trial jurors was made, and they will be on
hand this morning to answer questions as
to whether they can or cannot give the
accused man fair and impartial trial.
1t was reported yesterday that in the
event of Judge Murphy allowing the chal-
lenge of Juror Brown, Durrant's counsel
would ask for the discharge of the other
jurors as accepted.
This was emphatically denied by Mr..
Deuprey last evening. In fact, the very
fact of the suggestion nettled him.
"Why, l never heard of such thing, "
he said. at is the veriest nonsense. I
don't see how people can get such silly
ideas into their heads. There is no reason
why we should do such thing. What
will we do regarding the motion? That
am not prepared to say just now. Well
wait till morning and see what trans
pires."
Durrant spent the day quietly at the
County Jail yesterday. The greater part
of the time was devoted to reading.

CITIZENS PROTEST.
An Effort Will be Made to Have the
Clayton-Street Franchise De-
eIared Forfeited

The high-handed manner in which the
Southern Pacific Company abandoned the
street-car service on Clayton, Waller and
Cole streets without a word of warning to
the hundreds of people who built houses
along these streets has aroused deep indig-
nation in the district affected.
Some months ago. when the Market
street Company abandoned The service on
Masonic avenue and Frederick street, the
people living Immediately south of
Golden Gate Park raised not the slightest
objection, because they had only to walk a
block or two at the outside and take the
'Clayton-street line, which transferred to
Page street. Now that this last privilege
is taken from them they are justly indig-
nant One of them said last night that he
thought this last act OF the Market-street
Company a little more than the people
should be expected to accept quietly.
Without word of warning the corpora
ton Withdrew its service over franchise
that had been granted by the grace of the
people. Many of the residents out there
are working people who have built their
homes expecting a continuation OF the
streetcar service. Unfortunately, they
cannot compel the company to run its
cars, but they can petition TO have the
franchise declared forfeited.
The people Immediately affected by this
latest action of the octopus will not quietly
submit to such treatment without at least
making an effort to remedy it. There IS
considerable talk Of public meeting for
Tuesday, when the Board of Supervisors
will be formally notified of the abandon
ment OF the line and asking to declare the
franchise forfeited

Comment Kindly.

The San Francisco CALL. always ready to
work for the interests of the general pub
lie, has once more thrown itself between
the people of this State and the vampire
that has bled it SO long, and is making the
fight alone. Few people were aware that
the State Board of Equalization met Mon
day in Sacramento to assess the railroads
of this State, and perhaps more would
have thought of appearing there if they
had thought of the meeting.
Agents of the Southern Pacific Company
have been before the board to urge re-
duction of their already too low assess
ment, but the only appearance for the
people is to be credited to THE MORNING
CALL of Monday, which presented nearly a
page of facts and figures for the enlighten-
ment of the board.
If the members have any intention OF
performing their duty they will read care
fully the earnest plea of THE CALL; and ii
they read it carefully and are honest the
pleadings of the railroad attorneys will
not prevent them from increasing the as
sessmeEt.

Highly Commendable.

The course pursued by the San Fran
cisco CALL in the Durrant trial is highly
commendable. 1t gives but the bare facts
of the trial as it proceeds, while other
prominent San Francisco papers vie with
each other in giving half-page illustrated
details of the affair. The public has had
enough Durrant, whether guilty or inno-
cent, and in the interest of public decencv
and morality, the papers should refrain
from any further blazoning abroad of a
crime that is disgrace not only to San
Francisco, but to the whole State as WE'LL

MISS Anthony on Bloomers.

When asked her ideas with regard to
.bloomers" Miss Anthony said:
"When the new woman undertakes her
new work, she will certainly adapt her
dress to the occasion. If she is to work
around machinery she will not wear long
flowing robes, but will dress suitably to her
calling. l am decidedly in favor of bicycle
riding for young ladies, and l think that
they will soon rid themselves of the
troublesome skirt and adopt a costume
better fitted to the wheel"

Shortridge's Mark,

In the following clipping from the San
Francisco CALL acquaintance will recog-
nize another of G. M. Shortridge's private
marks on that paper:
In its treatment of the Durrant case The
CALL will present every iota of the news
that in wisdom and propriety may be put
into type. 1t will neither expand nor pad,
and will in no sense try to be either a
panderer or an advocate. Ii there are
among us those of unsound imaginatious
who crave unwholesome stimulant which
adroit and INSCRIPTIONS journalism could
impart to such trial they must seek their
Indulgence in some source other than The
CALL, and their mental and moral COM
panionship elsewhere than among its read
ers.-Selma Irrigator.

"The CalI's" Report.

The San Francisco papers are deluging
us with mass of stuff about the Durrant
trial, illustrated with pictures in the poor
ever. is an exception to the rule, having
avoided catering to the morbid sensational
desires of the class of readers which some
of the other papers seem to be making
such desperate efforts to please.-Weaver-

Free From Objection

The CALL is to be complimented on the
stand it has taken in the Durrant case Its
reports are free from sensational matter,
and the plain, unvarnished facts are given.
Criminal cases are ''boomed" too much
nowadays, and the pandering to the NOR
bid curiosity of the public is demoralizing
to journalism Republican.

Lottery Sales Diminishing.

1t is said that since The CALL has
opened its batteries on the lottery business
in San Francisco not half the number Of
tickets are sold that were sold before. II
the other papers should turn in and help
the crusade along the business could be
practically wiped out, and the money that
goes to enrich the lottery millionaires
would be spent IN making the people happy
and contented. Not one in a thousand
persons is able to beat lottery game

Thanks to "The Call"

Thanks to the wise action of the San
Francisco CALL in publishing the facts
regarding former assessments of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, the State Board
of Equalization did not decrease the assess
ment of the road, but rather added $780,

Second to None.

Since Charles M. Shortridge purchased
the San Francisco CALL that journal has
forged steadily forward. until to-day it
stands second to no paper on the Pacific
Coast. THE CALL is now distinctly the
peoples paper, not pandering and cater
ing to the wishes of the corrupt, who are
willing to pay for the service they get from
newspaper, provided they control it's
tone On the contrary, THE CALL is on the
side of right and justice, boldly and fear
lessly attacking anything and everything
that is corrupt in political, business or
social circles. and commencing all that is
good, fair, open and above board. No
honest man with honorable motives need
fear THE CALL, but rogues and rascals
fear this journal in California as a jugger-
naut. We salute THE CALL.-Salem Tor. }

To Obtain Leadership.

Charles NJ. Shortridge is making a mag
nificent paper of the San Francisco CALL.
With news service equal to the best, with
every mechanical device that will lessen
time and space between the pressroom and
patrons and with skilled corps of writer's
to deal with every phase of modern life.
THE CALL is solidly planted to obtain and
maintain strong leadership in the future
of this wonderful Pacific Coast as its nat
ural local heritage, as well as to achieve
telling influence IN the vital affairs of this
Nation. If the other forces of civilization
were moving with the intelligent celebrity
which distinguishes the American press,
and which is marvellous in this age OF won.
ders, the mistakes of social and political
existence would be speedily minimized.
The sanctum reaches wider parish than
the pulpit, and the conscientious editor s
work trends just as distinctly to human
betterment as does that of the preacher.
Hence We are glad when brains, money
and experience are at the helm to guide
such paper as THE CALL on its humane

For Clean Journalism.

The San Francisco CALL is being highly
commended all over the State for its de-
termined stand in regard to clean journal
ism, and its deserves all the good words
said of it. Clean journalism is nothing
new to US. We point with pride" to the
record of the Encinal, which, for more
than quarter of century, has been recog-
nized as one of the cleanest journals of this
State. We abhor sensationalism, and
hence omit from it's columns any and every
thing that will tend to corrupt the minds
of it's readers or feed the depraved appe-
tites of those hunting for morsels of vicious
details and disgusting incidents. Even
advertising of a questionable character is
not admitted to its columns, let the pay
offered be what it may.-Alameda Encinal.
