Mr.. HARE AND DELLA FOX.
The Preacher VIII Not DivnIge the
Source of His Information.

The remarks of Rev. Calvin A. Hare, Sun
day night. on the theater and in reference
TO the famous opera singer who was too
drunk TO appear on the stage occasioned
considerable comment yesterday. 1t is not
denied that Mr. Hare meant Miss Della Fox
when he used the language quoted Yester-
day Mr. Hare said to a reporter for an af-
terncon paper that while in pursuit OF in
formation on this subject he made special
inquiry about Della Fox. and was assured
by person connected with the Journal of
the correctness of the reports which led TO
his remark quoted.
MI. Hare was seen last night and asked
to state more definitely where he received
the information he claimed to have had
from some one connected with the Journal.
lie declined to say TO whom he had talked.
He said: 1t is true, however, that did get
my information in the Journal building, and
from some one connected with the paper.
But / received this information in conf
dence. and cannot divulge my authority. In
tion to Miss Fox, and did not rely solely
on what | learned at the Journal office.
On the last night of the engagement of
the Wedding Day in this city there were
many rumors in circulation as to why Della
Fox did not appear. The morning news
papers investigated the reports concerning
Miss FoXs condition, and found that the
young women had been unjustly arraigned.

THE DURRANT CASE.
Rev. Gibson Asked to Tell All He
KnOws-Lawyer Deuprey's Hints.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Alice
Hartley, who killed Senator Foley at Reno
several years ago, created great deal of
excitement in Emanuel Baptist Church last
night. At the conclusion of Rev. j. George
Gibsons sermon, she dramatically declared
that she had message from God to the
effect that Durrant's life should be saved
and it was the duty of the congregation to
save him. Rev. Gibson, who Durrant' 5
pastor, refused to see the condemned mans
mother, when she called with a message
from her asking the preacher to tell all
he knew about the murder in Emanuel
Church. A final appeal for communication
of the sentence of death will be made to
Governor Budd this week.
In an interview published this morning
Eugene Deuprey the attorney who is max
ing such a fight for Durrant, gives warning
of sensational deveiopme nts. He says that
Durrant will not hang in January, as is
generally expected and declares that he VIII
eventually go free. The attorney says that
revelations are soon to be made in the case
that will cause a profound sensation. Deu-
prey says they are on the track of the real
murderer and asserts that arrests will soon
be made.
On motion Of District Attorney Barnes
Durrant was to-day ordered by Judge Bah
ers to reappear for sentence on Wednesday
morning.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Excepting the
reporting of the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, which is to be
considered tomorrow, the House did no
public business to-day. The entire session
was consumed in adjusting personal dis
pute between Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa and
Mr.. Norton, of Ohio, which grew out of a
controversy that occurred last week during
the debate on the pension bill. The point at
issue was as to whether the word most"
used by Mr.. horton but which he after
ward disclaimed any intention of using
should appear in the permanent record
When the speech was printed the word
many appeared. The House. by a party
vote-136 to 121-sustained Mr.. Hepburn.
BY unanimous consent a resolution was
passed to print two thousand copies of the
testimony of the Civil-service Commission
before the appropriation committee for the
use of the House.
Mr.. Cannon. chairman of the committee on
appropriations, secured unanimous consent
for the passage of an urgent deficiency bill
which, he explained, carried but three items
$4,000 for the construction of a building at
the Naval Academy. $50 900 for the payment
Of the temporary employees of the House
and Senate and $175 600 for the payment of
the mileage of senator's and representatives.

Many residents of Indianapolis will recall
the visit to the city, some three years ago.
of Mr.. Jerome w. Adronse, an English
water-color artist of high standing. He
gave an exhibit of his paintings at that
time, and of the many who admired them
some We're purchasers, so that several of
his works are now in the city. Mr. Adronse
is now here for second time, and has
placed on exhibition at Wards several
paintings which are well worth seeing. The
collection embraces seven paintings all
original and done directly from nature.
The scenes represented are The Cliffs" at
Scarborough. England; Pembroke Castle .
at Milford Haven. Wales: Scene in the
Highlands. Windermere;" Evening at Kill
larney;' Sunrise on Loeb Bannock," Gram
plan Hills; ION the River Test near
Andover, England, and Wicklow Head"
on the coast of Ireland. AS compared with
Mr. Adronse's former works, these show
distinct advance and growth They excel
in atmosphere, coloring, technique and in
strength and delicacy of handling While
each one of the paintings has distinct indi-
viduality, it may be said of all that they
are Turneresque in general tone and deli
cate blending of atmosphere and sky tints.
This effect might be described as opales-
cent, since it combines in natural proper
tions and standings the delicate and fleet
ing colors of the opal. which Ruskn once
said We're almost impossible to catch The
paintings represent school of art which
lovers of nature will be glad TO study.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Per-
kns, of California. to-day introduced bill
to amend that paragraph of the Revised
Statutes relating to the appeal on habeas
corpus of criminal cases to the Supreme
Court of the United States The object is
to do away with numerous appeals by at
torneys of prisoners, made with the sole
view of gaining time. Senator Perkins cited
the Durrant case as a particularly strong
example of this sort. In this connection he
said that when a prisoner had the advan-
tage of a jury trial. a retrial if desired,
and an appeal to the Governor of the State,
it was manifestly unjust to allow appeals
to the Supreme Court without the certifi-
cate of either the State Supreme Court or
the Circuit Court before which the case
was tried. The measure, if passed, will not
affect the Durrant case in any way, but
will considerably shorten the legal process
in all such cases in the future.
