FOR THE THIRD TIME
DURRANT WILL BE SENTENCED
TO HANG
Judge Bahrs Orders That the Prisoner
Be Produced in His Court
Today

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9-District
Attorney Barnes appeared before Judge
Bahrs today and informed the court
that he had received official notice from
the Supreme Court of the United States
that they had affirmed the decree of the
United States Circuit Court in the Dur
rant case. Judge Bahrs thereupon is
sued an order directing that Theodore
Durrant be brought from San Quentin
penitentiary tomorrow, in order that
new date be set for the carrying out of
the sentence already imposed upon the
condemned murderer. 1t was currently
rumored that Friday next may be Sc
lected as the date for the execution of
Durrant, it being generally understood
that the law requiring that five days
notice be given the defendant does not
apply in this instance.
AT THE PRISON.
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Nov. g.
Theodore Durrant learned today from
his mother that Superior Judge Bahrs
of San Francisco had made an order for
his resentence tomorrow. 1t has been
day of suppressed excitement here
Warden Hale returned from the east
and resumed his duties at noon. Chief
Jailor Sattler of San Francisco served
orders from Judge Bahrs on the warden
early this afternoon, commanding him
to produce the prisoner in court for
resentence. Durrant was not informed
Of the service of the order on them
until his mother called on him. She was
permitted to be the first to give the
news to her son. The interview took
place in Captain Edgar's Office. Durrant
embraced his mother and they con-
versed in low tones for long time.
Chief Jailor Sattler is at the prison
tonight in readiness to take Durrant to
San Francisco early tomorrow morning.
1t is stated that the doomed youth re-
iterates that he places his faith in God
and has no fear of death.
THE LAWS DELAY.
| WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The State
authorities of California have asked the
Department of Justice to hasten the
mandate from the United States Su-
preme Court in the Durrant murder
case, but the matter is one with which
the department is not concerned. Thirty
days are always taken in sending out
mandates, unless the court orders that
they shall be expedited, which is only
done upon motion.
THE LAST APPEAL.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Nov. 9.-Before
the Supreme Court today was argued the
last appeal standing in the way Of the
re-sentencing Of Theodore Durrant for
the murder of Blanche Lamont. The ap-
peal was one brought by Durrant's at
torneys after the second sentence passed
on him. and was based on the claim that
additional punishment was being in
f1icted upon him by the court in ordering
him closely confined in San Quentin
prison pending execution, and in the
warden's having cropped his hair short
and having garbed him in prison stripes
Louis p. Boardman appeared for Dur

ALeER's ORDERS
Cost More Money Than Performance
Is Worth

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a report
which has gained considerable circula-
tion here is to the effect that the delay
in the transfer of the First and Seventh
United States Infantry is due to the
action of the Secretary of War in can
ceiling an order which has been made
by General Miles in his absence. 1t is
said that General Miles decided on the
transfer while General Alger was in
Michigan and telegraphed the Depart
ment Commanders, General Shafter at
San Francisco and General Otis at Den
yer, to prepare their regiments for the
change.
1t is claimed by well informed army
officers that the first information the
Secretary of War had of the transfer
was when on his return he found on
his desk telegram from General Otis
saying that the Seventh could be ready
to leave for Logan within week.
ANOTHER REASON.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 9-The exchange
of stations between the First United
States Infantry, now located at the Pre-
sideo, and the Seventh Infantry at Fort
Logan, has been delayed until the At
torney-General at Washington can pass
on the status of the Union Pacific. Since
the sale Of the Union Pacific last week,
the question has arisen whether the
transaction has been carried to such a
point that the government will have tc
pay cash fare for every soldier who
travels.
If the government troops have to pay
their fare the money will have to be
taken from what is known as the trans
portation fund of the army. Some of the
officials say that in consequence the
drain upon that fund would be so heavy
that the transfer Of the Seventh and
First Regiments of infantry might have
to be abandoned.

STOCKTON, Nov. 9.-Catherine Grant,
the infant daughter Of John and Mary
Grant, died in the city homestead today,
and her death is attributed directly to
infected milk. The direct cause was
pneumonia, but the attending physicians
are of the opinion that death would not
have resulted had 1t not been for the
milk given her, which was from COW

The heads are made separately by q ma
chine which stamps them out of long
strips Of wire, and the two parts are firmly
joined by clamping machine.
No machine has yet been invented that
will stick safety pins into the papers, and
this part Of the work Is done by hand.
Here again experience lends speed, how
ever, and a girl who is an expert can mount
100 gross of safeties in a day.
A branch Of the business to which the
button craze and the recent campaign gave
great impetus Is the manufacture of the
pins used for mounting campaign badges
and motto buttons. Last fall the orders for
these ran as high as 10000 per day, and
they could not be turned out fast enough to
satisfy the demand. Then there are dress
makers pins. bank pins. hooked and bent
and circular pins in bewildering variety.
The statement that 800 workmen and
more than 100 rapid working machines.
capable of turning out 800 or more pins per
minute, are employed in a single factory
gives no adequate impression Of the great
mountain of pins that Is required to supply

different operations and twice that number

there are endless variations on this usual
form. Some of the brass pins are allowed

pin and others which 1t Is desirable to have

the treatment known as japanning. From
the manufacturing room they go to the
basement, where they are placed in re-
volving cylinder half filled with the hot
japanning mixture. When removed from
here they are hung on racks and placed
in big ovens under an intense heat, where
they are allowed to bake for an hour or
more. Then they are removed. cleaned in
sawdust and henceforth treated like the
others.
Odd Varieties.
There are other pins of odd and wonder
full shapes. Simplest of all Is the crimping
pin, which Is made by simply bending a
straight piece of wire so that the two ends
are of equal length. Safety pins require
more hand labor than any other kind, and
are made by a separate process. The point
