DURRANT TO BE HANGED
WHEN ALL LEGAL QUIBBLES
ARE SETTLED
At the Regular Rate Of Progress the
Millennium Will Precede the
Murderer's Execution

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-The at
torneys for Theodore Durrant today filed
another document with the clerk OF the
supreme court. This time it was petit
tion for q writ of mandate to compel
Judge Bahrs to set date for the trial
of Durrant for the murder Of Minnie
Williams. 1t had been understood that
Acting Attorney General Carter would
today file with the supreme court mo-
ton to vacate the order of probable cause
After a consultation with the chief just
ice he announced that such course
would not be followed, and it is prob
able that other action defining the next
move of the prosecution will soon be
taken. Acting Attorney General Carter
has received word from his chief that
he will advise Warden Hale Of San Quen-
tin prison to carry out the execution Of
Durrant irrespective Of any legal pro-
ceeding that may be instituted by the
prisoners attorneys after the present
legal bubble shall have been decided.
Durrant will be resentenced as soon as
the controversy now pending is settled,
after which the attorney-generalo of the
state believes that no legal step can ac-
complish further delay in the postpon-
ment of the tardy execution Of the
Enamel church murderer.

DAVIS FEELS SURE
ST. PAUL. MIMI, Nov. 26. - Senator
C. X. Davis leaves next Tuesday for
Washington. Senator Davis said to a
reporter today that on the convening Of
congress ne would move for the adoption
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty. He
is very confident that it will be adopted,
although he has not made any canvass
among the senators to learn their senti-
ments in the matter. Mr.. Davis is Of
the opinion that the majority Of the
people favor annexation, and he Is en-
thusiastic over the great Importance Of
such a possession to this country. He
characterizes as absurd the statements
of certain American newspapers which
oppose annexation on the grounds that
only per cent of the people of Hawaii
desire it and that such a move would be
but a perpetuation Of the crime of this
government in deposing the former Ha-
waiian government.
