The prospects now are that Theodore
Durrant will not be hung for several
months to come, as it will require some
time to ravel the legal snarl IN which
the case has become involved by the
late action of the courts. 1t is now
about three years since Durrant was
convicted by an impartial jury of the
murder of Blanche Lamont. During
all of this time the execution has been
stayed by his attorneys through tech
nicalities. The penal laws of the United
States are among the most liberal in
the world. No man is adjudged guilty
until he has been convicted by a jury
trial. II there are grounds for belief
that the trial was not perfectly fair and
impartial, the convicted man has re-
course to the higher courts. In this
case all of the legal remedies have been
tried, and in every case the verdict of
the lower court has been sustained.
The defense has had three years in
which to prove the innocence of the
accused and yet have failed to weaken a
single link in the chain of evidence on
which he WAS convicted. The object
of these renewed efforts seems to be
merely to defeat justice by ~prolonging
his life and to use the law to defeat the
law. It will DOR be impossible, unless
the laws of California are changed. to

Supreme Court Taken to Task in the
House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O-The house
spent the day in discussion of the
general deficiency bill which was not
finished. There was a warm debate
over an amendment by Mr.. Hopkins
(Rep., Hid to take out the item Of
S12,2OO to pay members of the
Flfty-third congress for amounts
withheld from their salaries for
absences in accordance with q
rule adopted by that congress.
Mr.. Hopkins said that Speaker Crisp
had enforced that rule to hold a
quorum, and Democrats should not ap-
ply to a Republican house for rein-
bursement. Mr.. Hopkins carried his
point-113 to SIS.
When the item for paying to the

He referred to Justice Shiras as q
distinguished individual" and said:
mo man ever attacked the federal
judiciary more strongly than did
Thomas Jefferson, and the American
people made him president When a
president sends veto message to con-
gress, he necessarily criticises a CO.
ordinate branch of the government
What l said of Justice Shiras was that
he was the man who tore down the
federal constitution and who took away
from the American people the right Of
100 years to tax the wealth of this
country, and I repeat it today and
am glad that l have got through his
thick hide at last"
He understood that Mr.. Dalzell in
tended at a future time to make a de-
ferse Of. Justice .Shiras, and at that
time Mr.. McMilllne said he would pre-
sent some facts regarding the circunl-
stances under watch Justice Shiras had
changed his mind. For the present he
would content himself with having read
the dissenting opinion Of Justice Har-
Ian in the income tax case.
This was being read when Mr.. Bart
lett interrupted to ask whether Mr..
McMillin would also have the majority
opinion Of the court read.
"Oh, l don't want such slush read in
my time" Mr.. McMillln exclaimed.
Mr.. Dalzell gave notice that at some
future time he would speak on the part
taken by Justice Shiras in the income
tax case.

LexOw Committee Compelled to Adj
jOurn Until Next Week.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Chairman
Lexow, OF the legislative committee
investigating the alleged existence Of
trusts, was not present when the COM
mittee met today, and, after waiting
for some time, Assemblyman BedelI
assumed the chair. The officers of the
American Tobacco company had been
subpoenaed for the days session, but
when Mr.. Bedell called for James r.
Smith, James B. Duke and Josiah
Brown, one after the other, there was
no response. Mr.. Duke is president
and Mr.. Brown vice president of the
American Tobacco company, and Mr..
Smith is president Of the Wholesale
-Grocers' association. Owing to the
non-appearance of witnesses sum-
moned, Mr.. Bedell announced that the
committee would have to adjourn un-
til Tuesday at 10 a. M.
In speaking Of the non-appearance
of the witnesses, ASsemblyman Bedell
SAID he thought the subpoena serving
was regular in the case Of the three
witnesses called. They will, however.
be given until Tuesday next, at which
time they will be adjudged guilty Of
contempt, in case they do not re-
spond.
Senator McArron was asked if there
would be minority report made by
the Democratic members Of the com
mittee. He said: THAT will be de-
cided after conference of the whole
committee. If the grand jury adopt
our recommendation, there will be but
one report. If not, the minority will
present report of it's own finding. y
Assemblyman Thomas j. Bardy, the
only other Democratic member of the
committee, acquiesced in this state
ment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The bill

in an international conference to Sc
cure "a fixity of relative value between

a common ratio between these metals

his discretion to call such a conference,
was reported to the house favorably
today by q unanimous vote Of ten
members of the house committee on
coinage. The same factions which vot-
ed for the bill in the senate voted for
1t in the house committee today. Eight
of the ten members present were free

can; Allen, of Mississippi; Bankhead

Spencer CMiss.), Cooper (Tex), Demo-

penses be and the same is hereby repealed
The debate in committee was very
brief. The position Of the Democrats
was stated by Mr.. McRae. He said
that they had no faith whatever in
the efficacy of any attempt at an in
ternational agreement to bring out the
free coinage Of silver The Republicans
however, had carried the last cam
paign on a platform declaring for in
ternatiOnal bimetallism and the DEM
ocrats not only had no desire to place
any stumbling block in the way Of car
rying the Republican platform into eff
feet, but were anxious to have the next
administration demonstrate to the
country just what could be done in full
f1llment of it's platform. -'5-'

NEEDS OF RESERVOIRS.
Reports of Government Engineers
Submitted to the House.

Submitted to the House.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-Secretary
Lamont today transmitted to the house
the report of Col. Jones on the survey
of Mile Laos lake with a view to con-
structing dam at the outlet and MAX
ing it a part of the reservoir system
at the headwaters of the Mississippi.
Col. Jones says that about 4,462,-
100000 cubic feet Of water may be col
lected in the lake in an average year,
and there is good dam site short
distance below the lake. He considers
the locality worthy Of improvement
Gen. Wilson, chief Of engineers, how
ever, says that such a dam is not nee
essary to aid the navigation of the
Mississippi river at present, as enough
reservoir dams have been constructed
and authorized for all practical pur-
poses.
Jones report on the preliminary sur
vey of Red lake and Red Lake river
for the purpose of improving the nav
igation of the latter. He reports that
reservoir can be made by construct
ing a short, low dam at the outlet of
Red lake at very small expense, and
recommends the locality as worthy Of
Improvement. A complete survey can
be made for 1000. The effect of this
regulation Of water supply would be
the creation Of a water line Of trans
portion from Thief River Falls to the
head of Red lake, a distance of eighty
four miles on the river and fifty miles
on the lake. The engineer states that a
canal can be cheaply cut through from
the east end Of Red lake to Red river
thus opening a great stretch of country.
including Lake of the Woods. The
regulation of this water supply would
also protect the valley of the lower
Red Lake river from floods. The chief
of engineers state that he is unable

press an opinion as to the amount OF
Improvement to navigation which
would result from the construction Of
the proposed dam and lock, but recon-
mends an appropriation of $4,000 for
