LABOR SPIRIT GROWING,
Andrew Furuseth TIE Is What He
Saw in Many of the
States.
Workers Are Generally Becoming
Alive to tho Pact That Organi.
zation Is Necessary.

The San Francisco Labor Council held
an important meeting at its rooms, 1i59
Mission street, last evening. A large at
tendance OF delegates was present, as it
was known that Andrew Furuseth, men,
Der OF the legislative committee of the
American Federation of Labor, was to
explain what he saw at Washin gton, D. c.,
and during his travels through the East.
An invitation was received from the
International Federation of Ship, Dock
and River Workers, which is to hold a
convention in London next June, request
ing that representative be sent from
this City. 1t was referred to the Sailors
Union.
A Communication was received from E.
n. Bush. attorney for Worden, who is
sentenc ced to be hanged June 5, stating
that Governor Budd's secretary had
promised to call the Executives attention

the Governor should return from q vaca.
ton. which he is now enjoying.
Ihe pattern-makers reported that a
large Pittsburg concern had reduced
wages 10 per cent and had increased the
hours from nine to ten. This, it was
thought, would have ten dency to affect
wages over the entire country.
The remainder of the evening was al
lotted 10 MIR. Furuseth, who gave de-
tailed history OF the progress OF all i'm
portant labor bills considered by Con-
gress. The speaker had also travelled ex-
tensively through the country making In

overheard two men talking of the Dur
rant case. This, he stated, recalled 10 his
mind an occurrence of about twenty lone
mouths ago. The remembrance induce
him to enter the drugstore of Samuel F.
Hughes, at the northwest corner of
Powell and Post streets, and ask Mr..
Hughes to LOOK up for him the address OF
Theodore Durrant's father.
His story is that about a year and three
quarters ago four len came to his cabin
in the White Hills, about forty miles from
railroad communication, in a spring
wagon and asked for accomm odations for
the night, which be granted. He had two
beds and gave one to three of the men and
himself slept with the fourth.
During the night his bed-fellow was ex-
tremely restless, starting up frequently
and shouting take it away" The miner,
continuing his tale, said that at last he
woke the stranger up and demonstrated
with him, saying he must be demented.
He told the trou bled sleeper of his demon
strations, and the latter then, under great
mental stress apparently, remarked:

in rese etting the day for the hanging OF
Durrant.
The appeal. it will be remem bered, was
taken on the very day that Judge Bahrs
set June II for the day of Durrant's doom,
and was in part on the ground that the
Judge in pronouncing the sentence of
hanging mad coupled with it the alleged
additional and illegal punishment of con-
hnement in the Stale prison at San Quen-
tin until the day of execution, thus max
ing the convicted murder suffer as the
coun sci for Durrant claims, the uncalled
for and unlawful lndignity and humilia-
tlon OF being garbed in convict stripes and
being treated generally as a felon OF less
degree than m urderer.
According TO the rules OF the Supreme
Court in the matter of appeals in criminal
cases, the defendant has thirty days in
which to hle the transcript on appeal.
Ten more days is allowed for the filing of
the defendants brief giving points and
authorities. Another ten days is granted
the Attornev-General to file hi. brief in
the case, and then the defendant has five
more days to file his answer.

placed at the disposal of the defense in
the Durrant case will be fully utilized,
and thus ffty-fiv days will have been
consumed in getting the appeal properly
before the Supreme Court. When ali
II Is the custom of the Slpreme Court to

will be oral, and will. if the usual custom

Monday in July. the 18th.
In this way ii is thought to safely tide
Durrant over the dread 11th of June. II
this is accom- plished it will mean, even ii
the appeal Is denied, as was that taken
from Judge Murphy. that the day of exc
cution VIII have to be set again-probab bly,
late In July or in August.
As the prisoner will probably be given
sixty days from the time sentence is again
pronounced, his parting from earth would
appear to be not nearer than October
next.
In case the appeal before the Supreme
Court fails recourse will then be had to
the Federal court.

credulity when he was asked what ne
thought OF the article published in yester-
days Examiner purporiinE to set forth an
admission OF guilt made by Durrant to
Frank Kloss, the murderer who was
hanged at San Quentin yesterday. Kloss
IS alleged TO have selected an Examiner
reporter as his confidant, Notwithstanding
that his alleged object of revenge in be-
traying Durrant would have been best
served by conveying his inform alton to
an official of the prison.

Schaffer says the three men along with
the fellow were loaded down with jewelry
and optical in strumeuts, which he de-
clared were stolen from San Francisco
jewelry store about the time the murder
took place. Next day all four men took
their departure and he never saw them
again.
When seen last night at his place of
lodging, 515 Howard street, Scha ffer said
in addition:
1.-The man told me his name was Brown
and that he mad a brother in Napa City.
He also said that others in the church in

me the name of the church or the girls he
had killed.

Charles White Receives a Cut in the

Fight ng.

Two young men, one OF them a hard
working mechanic, while under the in
fuence of liquor early yesterday morning,
made an assault upon a peaceable citizen
with all the apparent accompaniments OF
an attempt at robbery. AS result Denis
Foley, for several years past employed as
machinist at the power-house at the
junction of Valencia and Market streets,
and Charles White. who is we'll known to
fame and the police through out the Mis-
sion, have charges of assault to rob pend
ing against them. White has a rather
severe knife-wound in the stomach.
Early yesterday morning word was sent
to the Sever rteenth-street station that =
man was lying seriously injured in drug.
store at the corner of Tive nty-seventh and
Church streets. Lieutenant Burke and Po-
liceman Kinbilie at once fastened to the
scene and found White stretched upon
the floor. where he had been hastily
treated by DIR. Won Werthen, the proprie-
tor OF the drugstore. Foley was linger-
ing about outs side the store.
Lieuten ant Burke questioned the men
as to the origin of the injury and they
concurred in such highly impro ba BILE
stranger that the officer decided to re-
strain both of them. White was accord
ingly taken to the City and County Hos
pital to have his wounds dressed. Foley
was taken to the Seventeenth-street sta
ton.
White did not appreciate the efforts of
the officers to have him cared for and dur
ing the afternoon made an attempt 10
escape from the hospital. He was cap
tured at the gate by Policeman Luke
Harrison and he was then taken to the
Receiving Hospital, whore the facilities
for detention are better.
In the meantime Officer Stanley had
found blood tracks on Twenty-seventh
street, leading toward Church, and had
traced them to the vicinity of 327 Twenty
seventh street.
The occupant of this place, A. L. Brown,
volunteered the information that the
night before he had had a desperate en-
counter with the young men, In the course
OF which he had cut one with pocket
knife.
Brown is . crossing watchman in the
employ of the Market-street Railway
Company. His duties keep him until
A. NJ, and while returning to his residence
yesterday morning, he says, the men at
tackled him, apparently with an intention
TO commit robbery. In the scuffle he
pulled his pocket knife and cut one, when
they both fed.

the affray, but White admits that he was

he would take such man as Kloss, if

for this reason his report was particularly


interesting.
He reported that he had found the labor
organizations in the East especially in
New York. Chicago and Baltimore, to be
in first-class shape. In New York an i'm
portant step had been taken by the build
ing trades in organizing the material
men. The American Federation of Labor,
he said, had recently granted a great
many National trade charters.
In the South he found labor organiza-
tions in less satisfactory condition than
in the East, but earnest and telling efforts
were being made to effect an improve
ment.
The recent decision in the Arago case
hold ing that sailors can be imprisoned
for desertion, he said, was ATTRACTING
great attention among humanitarian
generally, and lawyers held it the most
important decision affecting PERSONAL
liberty since the Dred Scott case. The
movement to re-enact imprisonment in the
coast trade, he reported, had been yigor-
ously and effectually opposed by Senator,
Perkins, White, Allen and Hill. There
was tendency, he found, among trusts
and certain capitalists to curtai il the right
of laborers to abandon a contract, This
end was being moved toward by what
purported to be antitrust laws.
On the whole, the speaker said. work.
men were generally throughout the
United States becoming alive to the fact
that they must organize.
