with the club was the sort of district
meeting when Ashland and Weeping
wafer clubs were invited to meet with
Plattsmouth. This may lead to series
OF district meetings in the future. In
some states each. congressional district
has convention of clubs, and since the
state meetings are such large unwieldy
affairs it is thought that matters Of bust
ness could be transacted in better shape
at smaller meetings.

An expression Of opinion is, at this juno

recurring to this subject, which was dis

DURRANT'S LAST HOPE
DISPELLED BY THE SUPREME
COURT DECISION
The Two Appeals Summarily Dis
missed and the Superior Court
Ordered to Pass Sentence

SAN FRARNCISCO. Dec. Slate
this afternoon the supreme court dis
posed Of the hope Of w. H. Durrant. the
murderer Of Blanche Lamont and Min
ME Williams, by disposing in a sum-
mary manner of his two appeals. In
a written opinion from the pen Of Chief
Justice Beatty. which Is concurred In by
all but one Of his colleagues. the court
affirms the Judgment Of Judge Bahrs
in remanding the prisoner to San Quen-
tin until the date set for his execution;
but reverses that re-sentencing Dur
rant to be hanged on November 11th
and remands the case to the superior
court with instructions to proceed ac-
cording to law. AS the remittitur was
ordered issued forthwith, and the court
holds that execution can only be stayed
now by the issuance of a certificate Of
probable cause, It only remains to re-
sentence the condemned murderer,
which will probably be done tomorrow.
Justice Garoutte alone dissented from
this opinion, maintaining that Durrant's
appeals should have been dismissed, as
the time required by law for their per-
fection had been allowed to lapse.

That was the last seen of Murray alive.

LEGALLY DEAD
Hill Not Now q Subject for the Hang
mans Rope

mans Rope
PITTSBURG, Pa. Dec. s.-The post
ponement Of the execution Of Hill and
the developments in the case have
caused a sensation In legal circles. Geo.
H. Kane, one Of the young members Of
the bar, who acted as Hills counsel. is
supported by several judges Of the coun-
ty court, as we'll as by many of the
leading attorneys. Mr.. Kane says:
Philip Hill is legally dead. We shall
ask for writ of habeas corpus to have
his body turned over to his friends. and
If necessary. will take the case to the
supreme court Of the United States. The
writ Of error. as we notified Governor
Hastings. should not have acted as a
supersedeas or stay Of execution under
the act Of 1897. and he is regarded by the
law, as see it, as dead"
The postponement Of the execution by
the writ of error Is something before un-
heard Of in the history of this state. II
Is almost a parallel case to that OF
Theodore Durrant, the San Francisco
murderer, whose execution was pre-
vented by the same sort OF an applica-
ton, but, according to the laws of CAL
ifornia, the date for the hanging may
In California be again fixed.
The execution of the negro, Philip Hill.
which was set for today. has been post
poned indefinitely. Failing to hear
favorably from Governor Hastings upon
the application Of Hills mother for q
respite, his attorneys took out a writ
of error to the supreme court this morn
ing. and upon advice of counsel that the
appeal acted as a supersedeas, Sheriff
Lowry postponed the execution. The
writ Of error Is returnable Oct. 1st next.
Hill was convicted Of the murder Of

INVALID PENSIONS

!, WASHINGTON, Dec. S-The house
committee on invalid pensions met to-
day and took action that is intended to
correct the alleged rapidly growing
abuse of young women marrying old
soldiers and sailors for the purpose of
becoming their widows and drawing a
pension from the government. This
subject has been much discussed in
view Of a comparatively large number of
widow claimants on account of the rev.
olutionary war of 1912 and Mexican war
service of husbands. The committee
authorized Chairman Ray to obtain
from the committee on rules and order
q rule permitting an amendment to the
pension appropriation bill providing that
no pension shall hereafter be granted to
the widow of soldier or other person
who is married to such soldier or per-
son after the passage of this act, except
ing, however, all soldiers, sailors, ofIic-
ers, etc, now in or who may hereafter
enter the military or naval service of
the United States.
