ANOTHER PROP KNOCKED OFT

San Francisco, Dec Slate this after
noon the Supreme Court dispelled the
last hopes of W. II. T. Durrant, the
murderer of Blanche Lamont and Min
ME Williams by disposing in summary
manner of his two appeals. In written
opinion by Chief Justice Beatty which is
concurred in by all but one of his asso-
ciates, the court affirms the Judgment of
the Judge Behersin Remaining the pris-
oner to San Quentin until the date set
for his execution but reverses the SEN
fencing of Durrant to be hanged on
November Ii and remands the case to
the Superior Court with instruction to
proceed according to the law. AS a
remitter was ordered issued forthwith
ard the court holds that the execution
can only be stayed now by the issuing Of
a certificate of probable cause. it only
remains to resentence the condemned
murderer which probably will be done
tomorrow.

recognition of Cuba's political indepen-

Mr.. Allen expressed the belief that the
Presidents statement in his message
that the recognition of the belligerency
of the Cuban insurgents is now unwise
and therefore iDadmissable and would
be a great disappointment to the MEM

the United States. He thought that the

600 Of people. He expressed the belief that
