and apparently anxious to avoid being
seen. Convinced that she was the fire
bug, they shouted to the bartender to
stop her. He succeeded in doing so.
Her hands and dress smelled strongly
of kerosene and in her right hand she
carried her hat.
After the flames were extinguished a
call was sent in for the patrol wagon.
AS it dashed up to the entrance to the
building the woman broke away from
her captor and disappeared down the
road.

Henry Doescher, proprietor of the
place, said that the woman was the
wife of his stepson. He declared that
they could not get along together and
they agreed to separate. Several DAYS

DURRANT'S LIST APPEAL.
CloiDs His Case Is Still in the
UDited States Court.

Another last effort to save Durrants
life was made yesterday afternoon by
his attorneys filing in the Supreme
Court a petition for a certificate of
probable cause, accompanied by the
transcript on appeal.
The petitioner assails the right of
Superior Judge Bahrs to sentence him,
holding that there is in fact an appeal
now pending in the Supreme Court of
the United States. This position was
to some extent a surprise to the officers
of the State, for it was generally be-
lieved that the many ends of the case
had been cut off.
Shortly after the United States Su-
preme Court decided the Durrant case
the prisoner was taken before Judge
Bahrs and sentenced That was before
the remittitur was sent to the Federal
court from Washington. Another at
tempt was made to get the matter be-
fore the Federal courts on the ground
that there was no tangible evidence
that the United States Supreme Court
had decided adversely to the petition
er. Judges Morrow and De Haven, sit
ting in the Circuit Court, refused to
grant the writ of habeas corpus prayed
for, and Judge de Haven instructed
the clerk of the court not to file the
papers on the appeal from the decis-
ion just rendered. Attorney Board
man, in his address to the Supreme
Court Justices who heard the petition
yesterday, made the point that Judge
Morrow had no right to make an or
der to the clerk as he did, and though
the papers were not filed they were left
in the custody Of the clerk of the court
and they should have been filed The
very fact of the documents being left
under the circumstances constitutes
an appeal. This being the case he ar
gued that no State Judge had jurisdic-
ton over the matter, and that Judge
Bahrs in passing sentence the last
time exceeded his authority.
The State was represented by As
sistant Acknowledgement Carter, who
made the point that the case is no
longer before any court in the land.
and no issue or branch of it is before
the Federal or United States courts.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the Justices, who will proba-
bly, give a decision TODAY

thief, and after investigating the case
they came to the conclusion that
young Bahr was the culprit
Shortly after o'clock last night the
detectives saw the boys enter the junk
shop on Fifth street. They quickly fol-
lowed them and placed them under
arrest. over 100 pairs of shoes which
had been stolen from the factory We're
found in the place.
Subsequently the junk dealer visited
police headquarters and positively
identified the prisoners as the boys
who sold him the shoes.
Both the boys emphatically deny
their guilt. On being locked up young
Bahr, who was exceedingly well
dressed, declared to the detectives that
his arrest was only a job to have him
sent to jail. It is said that Bahr
senior will not prosecute his son or his
companion. His object in having
them arrested was to teach them a
lesson as he expressed it.

Golden Jubilee will exceed in splendor
and numbers anything ever seen on
the Pacific Coast. The request for gen.
eraI attendance is embodied in this
paragraph Of the circular:
The joint committee of the San
Francisco parlors voted unanimously in
favor of joining the parade and it is
hoped that every member Of
every parlor within reasonable
distance of San Francisco will heartily
join in the celebration of an event so
important to the history of our times
and which turned the eyes of all coun-
tries toward the land where was gath
cred under one sky panorama of the
wealth and beauty of the world"
An important session of the parade
committee was held last evening at
Native Sons Hall. 1t was decided that
the parade should represent five or six
special epochs in the history of Cali
fornia. The periods for representation
are the Indian, Mexican, mission, min
ing, American acquisition and the pres
ent period of prosperity. The Native
Sons decided to have one float in the
procession and that will aim to repre-
sent the admission of California to the
Union of States. Following this float

TREY L. Ford reported that the COM

posed to receive the Governor and
staff, the Mayor and Supervisors, army
officers, foreign consuls and managers
of the jubilee celebration. 1t is to be a
