Everything Possible Done for Former
by Counsel But Without Avail.
Appeal to the Governor for the Latter Denied
In Short Order.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Counsel for
Durrant, the condemned California
murderer, today, made an unsuccessful
effort to have Justice Brewer of the
supreme court interfere and stay the
proceedings. Attorney Boardman ar,
rived here from California, today. AMI
made two applications for interference
Justice Brewer went over the case in
detail with him and first considered an
application Mr.. Boardman made TO
sign citation upon the appeal which
was sought to he taken from the judg-
ment of the federal circuit court of
California. denying the issuance Of a
writ of habeas corpus the object be
ing to perfect the appeal.
This application was refused, ana
then Mr.. Boardman presented an APP
pllcation for Il writ of error from the
judgment of the supreme court of Cali
fornia, upon the appeal from the last
order of Judge Bahrs fixing the date of
Durrants execution. the object being
to secure writ of supercedeas which
VIC uld act as a stay of proceedings
In denying the application upon the
habeas corpus proceedings Justice
i'itNti Sdli tLktl ulficl llit NtflStIut-
ton by the court of the constitution
the federal courts had no power Of lin
itation upon the right of appeal in
habeas corpus proceedings the opin-
ion being that such appeals should no.
be allowed where the appeal operates
TO suspend the power Of the state au-
thorlties and especially where the case
has already been heard upon one APP
ped in a habeas corpus proceeding.
With reference to the writ If error
he considered especially the represen-
ton of Mr.. Roardman upon the CLAIM,
that as the constitution of California
grants an appeal. such an appeal be

carefully considered This point. hui
said as he SOuld not accept the court :
Judgment on this point as its final ac-
tion, ne could not therefore see his way
clear Ia interfere on this account.
Mr. Boardman pointed out that the
probable execution Of Durrant. tomor-
row. would have the practical effort %
making the judgment final SO far as t,
should bear upon his fortunes. but the
justice held to his original determined
ton in the matter.
me interview lasted ~ minutes Al
ter its conclusion, Mr.. Boardman stat

Q Failure of Alfred Dodge.

The fai ure. on Ap'il IL, of Alfred
Dodge. of DOlgeville, in central New
York, is greatly regretted because it
cripples a manufacturer who WAS wide
ly known for his forts to bring cap
ital and labor into satisfactory rela-
tions. Mr.. Dolge's scheme of sharing
profits with his employees has been
much written about and udied. 1t
worked well, apparently, so long as
here were profits to share. How far
his failure affects the prscticability Of
the methods of dealing with labor with
which his name was as Ociated, does
not appear. He is quoted as saying,

New York Club Men Show That They
Are No Spring Chickens.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 1.-THE
ranks of Roosevelt's rough riders re-
ceived q novel accession today in the
person of seventeen New York men, all
formerly society leaders, who gladly
abandoned the super refnements of
their luxurious life for the hardships
and dangers that lie before Roosevelt IS
regiment of Arizona and New Mexico
cowboys.
The "Dudes' caused. disappointment
among the cowboys as soon as they
Tung off the train. The cowboys ex-
pected to See Saratoga trunk, but in
stead every man carried his entire
paraphernalia in one hand. AS soon as
the men arrived at the regimental
camp, one of them selected bucking
clay bank horse for ride into towr.
The cowboys expected to see him GO
flying into the air, but after a few
jumps and plunges the bucker had all
he could manage, for his rider was
Craig S. Wadsworth, one of the best
polo players in America.
Among the "Dudes." as the cowboys
insist upon calling the new recruits,
are B sill Ricketts,, son OF the late Ger
eral Ricketts,, who served two years
apprent' hip on a Colorado cattle
raach; Hamilton Fish, Jr., another
noted polo player; Horace Deveraux Of
Colorado Springs, one of Princeton's
foot ball team: William
Tiffany of New York, q social
fsvorite AID a leader ol
cotillions in exclusive circles; Kenneth
Robinson, of the Kuickerbocker club:
Reginald Ronalds, half back of Yale's
foot ball team; and Hollister, tb'
Harvard sprinter. There are about
df'y of these co lege bred clubmen, but
their we-lth and influence will secure
them no special consideration in the
regiment They are all chummy with
the far westerners this morning.
