IN THE LAST DITCH.
Arguments Heard Yesterday on
Durrant's Last Appeal.

Yesterday the Supreme Court heard
arguments in the Durrant case, which
was appealed-after his second sentence
in the Superior Courtroom the order
committing him to the State Prison at
San Quentin, there to await his execu-
ton.
The contention of Durrant's counsel
was: That in ordering Durrant to be
kept by the Warden in close confne-
ment the court inflicted a punishment
on Durrant in addition to that which
the law provided in the case of a con-
victio1 for murder in the first degree,
where the judgment was death. This
additional punishment, it was pointed
out, consisted not only of the close
confinement, but the cropping Of Dur
prison stripes.
The United States Supreme Court
having dismissed the appeal to that
body from the decision of the State
Supreme Court affirming the Judgment
in Durrants case. the only obstacle re-
naming in the way of again fixing a
day for his execution is the point raised
before the State Supreme Court now
in session here and which was heard
yesterday.
This point will no doubt be disposed
of rs soon as the remittitur from the
Federal Supreme Court is received.
Durrant was represented in the argu-
ment yesterday by Louis P. Boardman
and Deputy Attorney-GeneraI c. n.
Post appeared for the people,

PAINTING The DOORS GREEN.
NATURAL OAK COVERED WITH
oAINT.
Cleaning Up and Renovating the
United States Government
Building.

Considerable comment of an adverse
nature has been made by citizens upon
the coats of lead colored paint with
which the fne-grained oak doors Of the
Postoffice building is being covered.
When the building was constructed
the sixteen-foot doors, OF handsomely
grained oak were much admired, as it
is not easy to get timber of that size.
For some time past Collector Stairley
who is custodian, has been endeayo1ing
to induce the Government officials to
have the woodwork of the building oiled
and polished. Several inspectors have
visited it, but have made no recon-
mendations at headquarters, apparent
ly.
Last of all came J. w. Roberts, Su-
perintendent of the Postoffice building
in San Francisco, and ordered the work
done. Whether Mr.. Roberts, who is
an Eastern man, thought that the doors
resembled too much the color of our
fields in the fall and wished to be re-
minded of his Eastern home, when he
looked on them again, or whether he is
native of the Emerald Isle and loved
the color of the shamrock, is not known,
but instead of adopting the suggestion
of Collector Stairley to oil and polish
the front doors, he decided, after ma
ture deliberation, to have the door and
frame painted in two shades of green,
which is being done.
The inside woodwork, however is to
be oiled and polished. The entire ex-
terror of woodwork of hood on the
deck floor of the tower, the inside of the
doors, platform, etc, are to be painted
white. The entire ironwork support
ing the instrument shelter, the iron
staff and vane are to be painted and
the arrowhead gilt.
On the two carriers windows Will oe

THE TODD CONTEMPT CASE.
JUDGE HUGHES SUSTAINS THE
COMMITMENT.
The Supreme Court Issues a New
Writ and Will Hear the
Case To-day.

Judge Hughes yesterday rendered his
decision in the habeas corpus case of
j. H. Todd, who was committed to Jail
for contempt by Judge Hart because
he had failed to pay a balance of some
$500 due his divorced wife ON her ALI
mony. He denied the application for
discharge, and remanded Todd to the
custody of the Sheriff
Judge Hughes took the ground that
he could not go behind the commit
ment of Judge Hart's department of the
court, and it had not been shown that
Todd did not have the capacity to earn
money, though temporarily without
means or income. The writ was ~eg-
ular and contained nothing that would
warrant him in setting it aside.
When the case was argued before
Judge Hughes both General Clunie and
E. A. Bridgeford, Todd's attorneys, ex-
pressly stated that the court was not
asked to go behind the commitment
but they held that the instrument itself
showed all the facts necessary to entitle
Todd to discharge-namely, that he
was utterly without means and unable
to pay the amount due. AS to his not
seeking employment, counsel argued
that there was a temporary lull in his
business-that of theatrical manager
but that the season was about to open:
that no court could order a citizen out
to labor on the streets; that Todd nad
paid about two-thirds of the alinony
due from him, and that he was willing
to resume payments as soon as his bus
mess opened.
These arguments, however, could not
move Judge Hughes to set aside the
commitment, and now the case will he
carried to the Supreme Court, where a
decision VIII be given that will set at
rest the disputed issue as TO whether or
not a person is guilty of contempt of
court for non-payment of alimOny under
circumstance such as apply to the
Todd case.
When Judge Hughes rendered his de-
cision General Clunie and Judge Bridge
ford at once applied to the Supreme
Court for writ of habeas corpus. The
court ordered the writ issued, return
able this morning at 10 o'clock, before
the court in bank.
Pending the hearing to-day Todd was
at once released on bail.

After they entered the place, accord

him with:
'What'n HI are you doing here?

calling Hellman a vile name, whereupon
the latter struck him in the face.
The hobo came back with a large
knife, with which he slashed at He'll

BABYS SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
ssAt the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, / began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. i also took HOODS
SarsapariIIa, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign oil those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. S. S. WRoTEN, Farming
