A FOLK SONG RECITAL.
A Distinguished EDtereoinnent Given by Miss Villa Whit
 ney White.

Miss Villa Whitney White gave the first of series of three lecture reel tals of German folk-song at the Cali fornia Theater last night, before an audience which, in point of size. was ridiculously inadequate to the value of the entertainment. To the very few lovers of music who attended the evening was one of refined and unique charm. Miss White is young woman of delightful personality, good educa- ton and good sense; her voice is full and sympathetic, both in speech and song; and she sings with appreciation. There is something almost repressed in her way of giving the songs-and this seems to intensity and make more delicately evident her understanding of the folk-song, of which music alone can never be more than half. And in this she is splendidly aided by Miss Mary B. Dillingham;, who accompa- nies on the piano with rare insight and elasticity. Miss White gives to the text it's full value; first telling the story Tn

Durrant, for he added in a voice diff ferent from the earnest religious ac- cents of his previous remarks; Il nave had offers of remuneration for talk with me from the East. Have had three or four telegramS.
 His mother interrupted with All of his words are of great value"
 No offer of compensation being made, Durrant was promptly eau toned to talk no more. He was will ing to comply, but his mother being called away a moment he resumed in his former strain.
 "I will make no reference to the past. All will be made clear, if not in this world then in the next. l feel that I am perfect in Christi
 What will you say at the last?" was a rather difficult question to ask, but the answer was quick and in firmer voice than he had been using.
 "I shall only proclaim my innocence loudly-strenuouSly. Make this as strong as you please. I thank God my hands are clean, not stained with blood, but the fair name of California will stand stained with a crime that can never be wiped out-the blood of an innocent man."
 At this point Mrs. Durrant returned to the side of her son, and said rather sharply: There, you have said enough. Theodore; too much already, l am afraid"
 ''I will not falter at the end. I will ! die bravely, knowing I am going to a better world. That's all, mother" sub missively replied the condemned mur- derer, as he said good by and turned | his head away.

BOARDMAN BEFORE COURT
His Application for Wrrits and
 Orders All Denied.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. B. Louis P. Boardman arrived here early this morning from San Francisco to make a last desperate effort to save Durrant's life. He endeavored to con ceal his presence in Washington and registered as a commercial traveller at the Hotel Raleigh under the assumed name of Charles A. Ceare, Chicago" But The Call correspondents had re- ceived information that he would be here to-day and it was not long until they discovered that Ceare of Chicago was the man they wanted.
 MT. Boardman'S talk of an hour with Justice Brewer was fruitless. The Justice declined to interfere with the execution. MT. Boardman appeared to be very much down-cast when the two emerged from the Supreme Court chambers.
 Well, I guess it's all up with Dur rant, boys," said he as he related the story of his interview with Justice Brewer.
 MT. Boardman then said he would, however, make one last effort to save Durrant before the full bench to- morrow. The court does not meet un- he does must be done quickly, for Durrant's execution is set for 10:3O o'clock.
 MT. Boardman has never been ad- mitted to practice before the Supreme Court, and he will not attempt to be, for this would consume a good deal of time, and 1t will be precious to-mor- row morning.
 There is one motion that I can make, however, without being admit ted to the bar. and that is a motion for a writ of habeas corpus" said he | tonight.
 What will be your method of gain ing recognition?" was asked.
 "Why, when the court meets at l. I will simply rise in my place and make i the notion" said he.

If it's up it's not down and if it's down it's not up, according to the Weather Bureaus forecast official, w. H. Hammon. Of course he is speaking of his trustworthy barometer He is of the opinion that if the mercury drops, more rain, which was so badly wanted, will fall. and vice versa For two days rain had been predicted and no rain was in evidence, but the third fair weather was looked for and rain came in plenty. Now the flat map is supposed to be no account
 In northern California there will probably be fresh winds and rain to- day, and it is predicted that the storm is travelling toward the southern DOT ticn of the State. The rainfall in San Francisco up to the present time has been light, but throughout the country surrounding Santa Rosa and Glen FL len a heavy fall is reported.
 Utah, southern Idaho, New Mexico as well as Texas. will come in for a portion of the rain. San Joaquin Val ley and southern California will prob ably receive light fall within the next tWenty-four hours.

English, then singing it in the original tongue She weds the words and the melody so beautifully that you have at once the picture, perfume and spirit the song itself. In these days of ram pant virtuosity and sensationalism 1t is a lovely thing to now and then get back to the modesty of music.
 Lecture sounds so formidable word I dislike associating 1t with Miss Whites little discourses on the devel- opment and significance of folk-song. Say that she talked, not too formally and yet with pretty precision and au- thority, of the vital part the folk-song has played in the music of Western Europe of it's almost extermination at the hands of the contrafuntalists- of it's renascent popularity, due to the Florentine melodists; of how IL crys- tallized song-verse; of its early mar monic structure; of the evolution or it's accompaniment, from Hans Leo Hasler Schubert, to Schumann' 10 Brahms.
 In all Miss White sang nineteen numbers, covering in more or less degree and chronological order the en- tire history of folk-song. The remaln- ing recitals will be of a more special ized nature, tomorrow nights pelns devoted exclusively to the SchuDert cyclus and the Saturday matinee 10 the cyclus of ten by Alexander won Felitz and groups of Welsh, Irlsn' English and Scotch.

New Streetcor Fender.

As soon as they are able Mir. and Mrs. A. J. Tucker will place before the Super visors new life and limb saving device to be attached to the street cars. The lady and gentleman live at 161 San Carlos avenue in the Mission, and for the past two years they have been perfecting their invention. for which a patent has been asked. The new fender consists of an apron with a movable lip. Apron and lip, while operated together, can also be operated separately by the two levers that always stand at the hands of the held by ratchets, So as to keep the con- trivance from striking when going over uneven ground. The inventors claim that any ordinarily active operator car easily scoop up an object or a person and carry 1t along until the car can be stopped. One of the principal advantages structed that no 's one e can W get under ettV. the car to which 1t is attached.

 Webb in his signed statement charged that he was being made the victim of conspiracy in which the League for Better City Government for political reasons, and the friends of Miss Mae Owen, the deposed school teacher, for the purposes of revenge, were taking part. In this connection some significant relationships are be- ing cited among the individuals prom inent in the Webb prosecution w. B. Cline, T. E. Gibbon and w. A. Cheney are the three gentlemen who were most solicitous and active in behalf of Miss Owen. Cline is president of both the Los Angeles Lighting Company and the Los Angeles Electric Company.
 T. E. Gibbon, who is director of the League for Better City Government. is the attorney for the Los Angeles Elec- tric Company, and was, before he went East on other business, the attorney in charge of the prosecution against Webb. He is also vice president of the Los Angeles Terminal Railway Com pany.

Clever Thleves Caught.

Lou Keller and George Abrams were arrested by Captain Callundan and OIn- cers Daws and Allen of the Morse De tective Agency last evening and booked at the California Station for petit lar ceny. The prisoners have been suspected of thieving for some time, and the ofh- cers have been on the watch for them. Abrams works at a hardware store at 113 Battery street and last evening was seen to hand Keller package Whlcn ns to contain three dozen Yale locks.

FINAL ARRANGEMENTS.
What Will Be Done in the Death
 Chamber This MOrninq.

AAcNS W HI oO DOllO III SA4S DSoSAA
 Chamber This Morning.
 SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Jan. eff the arrangements are carried out to the letter tomorrow morning Theodore Durrant will eXpiate the Emmanuel Church crimes.
 If the fears and prediction of his guards are fulfilled the execution will not be wanting in ex6ra sensational features, for they foretell his abject collapse when he faces the hangman. If Durrant carries out his announced intention he will deliver a prayer and protest his innocence while the execu- tioner poises the black cap for his head If he does neither. if he mounts the trap with his old-time nerve and ac- ceptS his fate in silence perhaps not more than a minute will be consumed between his departure from the death chamber and his death fall No one seems to anticipate a confession. It IS expected of him that he will die with sealed lips so far as his crimes are con cerned. He will enact his religious farce to the end, unless the universal opinion here errs.
 It is the present intention of the Warden to enter the death-chamber about o'clock and read the death war rant.
 Before Durrant is led to the gallows by his guards his mother will be all lowed a last interview. Every precau- ton will be taken to prevent the carry ing out of any plan of suicide that may be contemplated, and the parting scene VIII be kept within reasonable bounds as to time.
 few moments before the condemn ed man Is taken to the scaffold those who received permission to witness the closing tragedy of Durrant's career will be admitted to the execution chamber Three men will have preceded them | by another and private entrance and | taken their positions in a booth erected | for them on the scaffold. They will be so placed that they can see the hang man, while the spectators cannot see | them.
 Durrant will mount the scaffold at. | tended by his guards and spiritual ad- | visers. When the black cap and rope l have been adjusted the executionel will point his right hand to heaven This will be the signal for the three men each to sever the strand of rope l over which each stands with a keer l edged knife resting against it.
 One of these three strands, whicf are so cunningly intertwined as tC conceal from every living conscious ness the one which communicates witt the trap trigger. will drop Durrant tC death. The thud of the strained rope will be lost in the awful crash of tht trap as it swings from under the fec of the criminal and is caught by it: | fasteners.
 Thus will Theodore Durrant die.
 The craven attitude of the murderer which is now revealed in the hour O. his desperation and hopelessness, i, in striking contrast with the bravad, which sustained him so long anC which puzzled the analyst. He is nt longer the innocent stoic the fearless religionist. The nature of his kint comes to the surface at last, as tn grim hand of averaging death reaches out to clutch him.

The little ones thought her asleep. but being unable to awake her, sent word to the father, who works in the Danforth warehouse, and he noti- fled Policeman Olsen.

troops in Puerto Rico, on the orders
or requests of several commanders
Colonel Hecker, who has just re-
turned from Cuba, was examined in
detail as to the charters and purchases
Of vessels by the war department.
Colonel Allen, assistant surgeon gen.
eral, was asked why it was that a vol
unteer organization like the Red Cross
could get supplies on the ground ahead
of the medical department, when the
medical department had certainly prior
information of the coming movement
He said it was because the medical
department was dependent on the quar-
termaster's department, the transport
tation department and commissary de-
partment, and it was not supplied with
men enough to carry out the plans it
knew were necessary.
DR.. Connor, who was prosecuting the
examination, became emphatic at this
point, and asked whether Colonel Allen
meant to say that the medical depart
ment was at the mercy of two or three
other departments, and this was the
reason there was such a glaring lack
of medicines, bandageS, field transDor-
tation and other supplies with General
Skaters army in the field.
Il think it would be better to put
that question in the hypothetical
FORM, said Colonel DENLY, you are
assuming that this shortage was an
actual fact"
Il am trying my BEST" said DR.. Con-
nor, with considerable emphasis, ito
find why this condition existed, for that
it did exist am as certain as I am
that we had an army in front of San
tiag0"
James F. Smith, an ex-private of the
cavalry, testified briefly that his regi-
ment had sufficient rations while in
Cuba
