A DENTIST DISAPPEARS,
DIR. X. c. Coleman of This City Is Sus-
pected of Having Met With Foul
Play.

DR.. r. c. Coleman. a prominent young
dentist, with offices in the Vendome build
ing, 1104 Market street, has disappeared,
and lis parents and friends can obtain no
trace of his Whereabouts.
Coleman occupied offices with DR.. G. L..
Il egler, another dentist in he same build
ing, and a week ago last Thursday Cole
mrn's rent became due.
Zlegler kept pressing him for the m onev,
and on FRIDAY afternoon the young den.
tist assured Ziegler that he would make
payment the same afternoon, but he did
not return until about 9 o'clock Saturd ay
morning, when he found Ziegler had
locked up his (CoIeman'sl office, which
contained the latter's instruments. etc.,
and wnen Coleman applied for the KEYS
Ziegier refused to give them up until the
rent was paid.
Coleman was last seen on the afternoon
of Saturday, and since that time his
parents and frienus have been unable to
locate him.
The parents entertain the fear that he
has either met with foul play or has COM
mitted suicide.
NegIer and Coleman had some words
about taking one another's patients,
and this Is said to be the m ain cause of
the difficulties between the two dentists.
The police are investigating the case.
Coleman lived with his parents on De-
visadero street and was very popular, hay-

UNTANGLING LEGAL KNOTS.
A Congressional Bill That Will Apply
to Murder Cases.

The recent legal plications and
tangles growing out of the cases of Dur
rant, Ebanks. Allender and others has
caused some of the legal fraternity of this
citv to take steps looking to the straight
ening out OF a few of the present laws That
make such things possible. Ex-Judg
Robert Ferral and mum ber of other law
vers have applied to Congressman James
Il. Mcguire 10 present 10 Congress bill
that they will frame, the object of which
is TO prevent frivolous appllca lions to the
United States Supreme Court on habea
corpus.
AS the law stands now an appeal can be
taken from the refusal of a United States
Judge to award a writ of habeas corpus,
but there Is no appeal 10 the Supreme
Court of the United States from the final
disposition OF a writ after issue In sucn
cases the appeal lies to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Ferral says there is a short cut to
the matter, bnt that the Judges do not
always take that way of doing busine g.
His idea Is that in these annoying murder
habeas corpus cases the Judge should issue
the writ and order and dispose of the case
by remanding the petitioner and thus dis
posing OF the matter and letting the case
take is regular course.
The bill providing for the straig htening
out Of these laws Is now in course OF
preparation and will be delivered to Con.
gresham Mcguire very soon.

A DUCK CAUSED
THE TROUBLE,
D'Aubertin, the Sculptor,
Has an Experience
With the Police.
Guardians of the Peace Refuse
to Put the Bird Out
of Misery.
The Chief, Sergeant and PATROL
man Finally Figure in the
Episode.

DAubeItin. the well-known sculptor,
caused the police force, from Chief to pa
trolman, no end of worriment the other
evening, and all because of one poor lame
duck. The artist is naturally tender
hearted man, and his sympathles were
aroused to a high pitch when, while pass
ing down Jones street, between Ellis and
OFarrell, with young lady, he discoY-
cred duck that had been hurt by can
living in the roadway. ~
He promptly telephoned to the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty 10 Animals
and Secretary Holbrook told him to tell
his troubles 10 policeman. The sculptor
found the guardian of the peace and i'm
mediately started to pour forth his tale of
woe. The officer asked him who gave him
permission to speak to him in the manner
he did. Then the burly guardian of
the peace was told that Secretary Hol-
brook of the society was the one who rec
ommended him to his mercy. The police
man informed him in freezing terms that
he recognized no ones authority but his
Chiefs.
Again D'Aubertin used the "phone, "and
this time poured his tale into the patient
ears of Chief Lees. In pathetic tones he
told how the poor little duck was just
pining to be killed, ETC., etc.
Forthwith Mr.. Lees told the molder of
clay to tell the police man to look into the
matter. Endowed with this power he
again sought the officar, and this time
commanded that awe-ins spiring person TO
shoot the duck. Still the policeman was
obstinate. He saw visions OF an irate
owner of the bird declaring vengeance over
its lifeess form. He saw fabulous sums
being ded cted from his salary to pay the
damages the owner of the feathered crea-
ture woult claim.
DAubertin deSpaired not, however, and
again paid a nickel to The telephone COM
pany, and tried once more to persuade the
Chief OF Police to end the creatures sui-
ferings. His tale was so pathetic and he
was so persistent that the Chief could
wit hstand his pIeadings no longer. He
Immediately dispatched a sergeant to the
| scene of the trouble.
| By the time he arrived quite a crowd
had congregated, and the sergeant only
! being informed before he left the station
that there was liable 10 be some shooting,
and not knowing what the cause of the
trouble was, came all prepared, thinkin;
he had nothing less than some desperate
robbe to contend with.
He was taken back, however when ha
saw that the Cau>e OF the d disturbance was
only poor little Quck that was ripe TO
die and on which the sculptor mad taken
Iiiy.
The sergeant was prompt in action, and
in few moments he had the poor little
innocent caught, and, drawing it into
nearby alley, ended it. suffering. Then
DAuDertin departed in peace.

THE DURRANT TANGLE.
Attorneys Criticize the Action of
Judge Bahrs in Imposing
Sentence.
Should Have Waited for the Mandate,
Rumors of Bx-Mayor Sutro's
Interest.

Criticism, gentle yet pregnant with
meaning, can be heard in manv of the
offices and lobbies where lawyers are used
to congregate on the action and what is
termed undue haste" of District Artor-
ney Barnes and Judge Bahrs in sentence
ing W. II. T. Durrant to hang before the
mandate had been received from the
Supreme CourS of the United States. The
points upon which the lawyers base their
criticism are several In mum Der.
One of the principal points OF which,
but little men ZION has been made Is th
fact that there is at present in the hands
of the State Supreme Court an appeal
from the judgment OF Judge Bahrs in
imposing what the attorneys for the de-
tense choose to call a double sentence,
The Supreme Court has not as yet decid ed
the appeal, it being argued before that
tribunal the day prior to the sentence be-
ing imposed on Durrant for the second
time by Judge Bahrs. 1t is said that the
Superior Court was cognzant of the fact
that the appeal had not yet been decided,
but for some untold reason failed to take
judicial knowledge of the fact.
Another point of discussion is regarding
( he fact that the mandate had not arrived
lIOLn tEc OupI5Elc NOuIL Vi LHS OhAtON
States. The attorneys for the prosecution
clted in behalf OF their case the decision
rendered in the celeo Jusiro case.
1t is claimed that this case applies IN but
imm aterial points to the case IN isuSe, and
that the court that sentenced the prisoner
made an erroneous Interpretation OF tnat
finding.
AS soon as proof can be made that the
mandate or remittitEr has come down
from the United States Supreme Court
1t is said that the appeal in the State
court can be dismissed on motion of the
ATTORNEY General if that tribunal sees fit.
In this way the hitherto supposed endless
chain will be severed and the Superior
Court may set another day for the carry
ing out of the judgment of death.
In the event Durrant had been hanged
last Friday. and later the Supreme Court
had found that the Defendants appeal
had merit and decided that the Judgment
OF the Superior Court was void, an an
palIing tangle would result.
In connection with the case the story
of ex-Mayor Sutro's interest in the mur.
derer again comes up. The ex-Mayor
and his frlenus again vehementlv deny
the rumor that he IN any way assisted the
defendant financially or otherwise, and
are becoming much annoyed over the re-.
peated statements to the contrary,

HOW CHEWING CUM IS MADE.
Thirteen Miles Of Chewing Gum "A Day IL
Americas Average.

The largest chewing gum factory in
the world is in Cleveland. Ohio.
Only few years ago its owner was
poor man, making his gum in the
basement Of an old building, offering
III vain his whole business for few
hundred dollars, and with his wife his
sole assistant Now his 300 employees
make profits for millionaire.
The very air around the factory is
pregnant with the composite fragrance
of the essences used in favoring. En-
tering by the packing rooms, the whito
walls, the fine drift sugar lying every
where and the rows Of white-capped
girls folding the crisp papers with the
deft rnpidiiy of machines give a first
impression Of pdorOus whteness.
The gum making begins in Mexico,
its foundation being chicle gum, the
chocolate cOlored Evidence Of the nase-
berry tree The natives gather, pack
it iu barrels and send it North. At
the factory it is packed over and
crushed then placed in large kettles,
together with sugar aud tiayoring ex-
tracts. While cooking the revolving
cylinder within the kettle keeps the
mass constantly stirred. When cooled
it is carried to table where group
Of girls knead the gingerbread looking
stuff mixing it in sugar until it at
tains the needed dryness. Trans
ferred to another table it is rolled out
to thick square cakes, worked as
cook would pastry, but with sugar
taking the place of flour These
cakes are then pressed back and forth
under steam roller until each is in
thin strips about eighteen inches wide
and a yard long \ grooved roller
cuts it into squares which are laid ON
tray and left for twenty-four hours.
After days drying another grooyed
roller marks it into the shape i'll which
it is sold when it is broken and sent
in boxes to the packing room. Here
it is wrapped in paper, placed i'll dainty
boxes aud then sent to the inspecting
room, where each box is opened, ex
amined and passed All through the
process may he noticed the same accur-
ate care and economy Some girls in
the inspecting department are kept
busy scraping unevenly-shaped pieces.
Every broken scrap is saved and re-
turned to the melting kettle
The factory is complete in itself,
aud has many departments The top
floor is given up to the manufacture
of paste board boxes for the gum. The
basement is light, airy printing
