Attempt to Shut Off Debate on the
 Moody Bill in the House.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Opponents of the civil service law had much the best of the debate in the house today, at least in so far as the numbers of those engaged in it were concerned Nine of the eleven speakers were of the opposition.
 Friends of the law are very anxious to shut off further debate on the sub ject, and these will have the co-opera- tion of Speaker Reed and the rules committe. MT. Moody, who has charge of the bill, gave notice that he would test the sense of the house tomorrow on motion to close the debate. The opposition immediately sent word to all in their ranks to be on hand, and it is confidently expected that they will have no difficulty in defeating the motion.

A MURDERER'S BODY
The Remains of DuTrant Lack
 a Resting Place
REFUSED BY CYPRESS LAWN
Plans for IncineratIon and a
 Secret Grave Fail
Obdurate Cemetery Officials Refuse the Fathers PIsadinx Inter- mont will Probably be at Holy Cross-Paren,s' Last Hope Conc.

San Francisco, Jan. 10.-In all prob ability the body of Theodore Durrant will find it's last resting place in Holy Cross cemetery.
 However, nothing definite has yet been determined in the matter and the parents are still in doubt as to what disposition will be made of the re- mains. They have finally given, up all hope of cremation for the body, and this has been the most severe blow Of all. For several days past MT. and Mrs. Durrant have chung to the hope that the directors of Cypress Lawn cemetery would relent of their previ- ous refusal to accept the murderer body for incineration. The officers of the crematory were inclined to be lenient and it cost them an effort to refuse the pleadings of the father. This morning MT. Durrant visited the of- ficers of the company and received their final refusal to his request.
 At first MT. Durrant would not ac- cept the negative answer. He insisted that the body of his son be cremated. He offered to make all sorts of sacri- fees, saying that if necessary the in torment could be held secretly at night, and that the location of the grave of Theodore Durrant might be forever kept a secret. His efforts were una vailing, however, and he has now given I- hot A GHASTLY BANQUET. When Durrant's body was cut down it was placed in the black coffin of the prison. On learning that casket had been provided, it was taken through the furniture building to the room at the other end. Here the parents were waiting.
 The parents kissed the lips of the dead. Mrs. Durrant wept. Her hus- band mingled his tears with hers, ard | tried with her vainly to smooth the visage of their son into it's former likeness. Everybody present turned to the windows to conceal their sym pathetic emotions. When their eyes | were again CdSt upOu Iuo Sceut Dolu parents had taken seats near the coffin. MT and Mrs. Durrant were chatting and she was smiling.
 Thus they had remained quite . while, when Convict Wilson, who is | detailed to care for these rooms, ap- | preached and asked Mrs. Durrant il she would like a cup of tea. ''ThanR you, I would,' was her reply. l Instead of tea tray loaded with al
 abundance of everything the prisor
 dinner afforded was sent to the cofiT
 side. Here a table was spread within
 three feet of the corpse. The parents seated themselves and ate heartily; att
 all unconsciously of every presence
 living and dead; ate till they were
 sated. How they ate may be judget
 from the request overheard by tht
 shocked and disgusted witnesses
 "Papa, give me some more of ta'

 repast had been taken away they sa

JUDGE STREET ENDORSED.
A Strong Expression by the Territorial
 Bar Association

An interesting meeting of the Ter ritorial Bar association was held inI his city yesterday. A matter of un- usual importance was brought before the body for action. It grew out of the Arizona canal receivership matter and was alleged that immediately after the order by Judge Street ap- pointing a receiver a movement was begun by the disappointed bondhold- CTS to prevent the sending of Judge Streets name to the senate or in the event of it's transmission, to prevent confirmation.
 The bar meeting yesterday was un- usually we'll attended and the follow ing resolutions. unanimously adopted, constitute as strong an expression of opinion as 1t is possible to frame:
 Whereas, The bar association Of the territory of Arizona has learned with profound regret that in conse- querce of certain rulings of Hon. Web ster Street, as district judge of the Third judicial district of Arizona. ill proceedings recently had before him. in relation to the Arzona Improve ment company and the Arizona Canal company, an effort is being made by persons who are dissatisfied with such firmation of Hon. Webster Street as chief justice of Arizona. Therefore, Resolved, That this association ap- proves and endorses the judicial acts of Judge Street in the recent proceed Ing before him in relation 10 the Ari- zona Improvement company and the i Arizona Canal company.
 Resolved, That we are deeply sen- sible that the fearlessness and inde- pendence of our judiciary cannot be maintained if the administration of l the judicial department of our govern ment can tolerate the interference of l disappointed litigants, in attempting ng to influence or control the appointm ent or confirmation of our judges; and that we protest against such interference.
 Resolved, That these resolutions 1 be signed by the members of the Ter ritorial Bar association in attendance at this January term of 1898 of our territorial supreme court and that our secretary then shall transmit the same by telegraph to the president, to the attorney-general and to the chairman | of the judiciary committee of tht | United States senate.

NO EXTENSION GIVEN
COMPANIES TOO BASHFUL TO
ASK FOR IT
SPECIAL SESSION NECESSARY
Oil Territory Has New Limit Placed
on It-Wallace Bros. Think the
Circus License Too High

No extension OF the time for the conduit
ordinance to become effective was granted
by the council yesterday. An application
for such a favor was anticipated by the
members and an ordinance granting 1t was
prepared and all ready for passage, but
as no one appeared to make the request,
action was not taken. At first this ap-
parent Indifference of the companies was
attributed to their extreme modesty, a
trait heretofore undiscovered In them, but
after due reflection 1t was decided that it
was clear case of what is everybody s
business is nobodys business" In short,
the companies had not agreed upon con-
certed action in the matter and each had
depended upon the other to make the re-
quest for the desired extension.
None of the companies were over anx-
ious to press their claims for more time
they all rather sought to have the extern
sion granted without appearing and then
they could lay back and say It was all the
other fellows fault. The council fooled
them. The representatives of two COM
panies were about the hall yesterday
morning, but the time for the hearing of
the matter was several days ago set for
go yesterday afternoon and at that time
no one appeared. AS the granted extern
sion expires before next council meeting.
the companies will now have to induce the
council to hold an extra. session the last
of the week for the express purpose of
passing the ordinance prepared yesterday
or the conduit ordinance will become e:
fective and the city must proceed to chop
poles down and cut wires.

ORDINANCES PASSED
Oil Limit Is Fixed With Reference to
Sunset Park

An ordinance passed yesterday fixes the
oil we'll limit with reference to Sunset park.
1t prohibits the drilling of oil wells within
1860 feet OF the park boundaries. This will
act as an additional restriction on the
plans of w. F. De Groot and others who
are making preparations to prospect in the
Knob Hill tract. OF courseSif they decide
to drill there anyway and violate the
Westlake ordinance in order to test 1t, the
ordinance passed yesterday will be tested
as we'll. 1t Is contended that neither one
will stand in the courts.
The following ordinances were passed as
submitted by the city engineer:
For establishing the grade of Cameron
lane from Grand avenue to Figueroa street
and of Jefferson street from Vermont ave-
nue. to near the city boundary; for the i'm
provement Of Leroy street from Main
street to the Los Angeles river: for the
construction OF q cement sidewalk six feet
wide on the north side OF Fourth street
from Olive to Grand avenue; granting per-
mission to the property owners to improve
Kohler street from Eighth to Ninth under
private contract.
Another submitted by the city attorney
and passed granted the Milwaukee oil
company the privilege of erecting certain
wire pumping cables on Bernard street.

PROTEST HEARINGS
Work Of Widening Washington Street
Will Go Right On


Three protestants against the report OF
the commissioners in the widening Of
Washington street for two mikes, related
their woes to the council yesterday. They
alleged Misrepresentation on the part OF
the original petitioners and incidentally
claimed the assessment district was not
equitably distributed. The council did moi
see 1t that way. however. and denied the
protests.
Attorney Mcfarland presented the pro
test Of George w. Frink against certain
sewer construction, but he was also
knocked out and the sewering of Kohler
Eighth, Merchant and Seventh streets and
Gladys and Ceres avenues will therefore
go right ahead.
The protest of H. w. Hellman against the
report of the commissioners in the opening
of Lafayette street and that Of A. w. Fran
cisco against the sewering Of Cottage place
were also denied.
The appeal of Frank Whittier against
acceptance of the work Of the improve
ment of Twenty-third street, because OF
defective maps, was sustained and new
maps ordered made. The protests of H. L.
Rollins and B. H. Mckinley against GER
tain sewers were also sustained.
