pURRANT HANGED.
After Long Legal Delays He Goes to tho
GnllOws

San Quentin, Cal, Jan. S.-When
William Henry Theodore Durrant died
on the gallOws yesterday morning for
the murder of Blanche Lamont, he
gave such an exhibition of coolness
and nerve rs has seldom been seen un-
der similar circumstances. Hopeful
almost to the very last minute that
something or some one would inter
vene to save him, lie walked to the
scaffold this morning and made his lit
tie speech, protesting his innocence, ns
calmly and with as distinct enuncia-
ton as II he had been addressing an
assemblage Of friends upon some ordi-
nary topic of the day. His face was
pale, his eyes We're red, but his voice
was firm and he stood as solid rs n
rock while he proclaimed his innocence
and professed forgiveness to those
who, he said, had bounded him to
death.
There was not hitch or accident to
mar the plans Of Warden Hale In car
rying out the sentence Of the law.
The moose was adjusted, the trap was
sprung, the stout rope held and Dur
rants dead body dangled mt the end.
The neck was broken by the fall OF
over five feet and fifteen minutes later
the murderer's body was cut down and
placed in the coffin.
Consistent to the last Durrant died
processing religion. But he died, ac-
cepting at the last moment the COM
forts of the Catholic Church instead of
those of the Baptist faith, in which he
was reared. Rev. RAIDER, Protestant
minister, had arranged to ascend the
scaffold with Durrant, but the minis
ter would not say that he thought Dur
rant innocent and the condemned man
declined to accept his services unless
RAIDER professed belief In his inno-
cence.
Then 1t was that the once ardent
Baptist turned to the Catholic Church
for consolation and called upon Faith
er Lagan, priest who had frequently
visited him In prison, to attend him.
Father Lagan responded promptly and
performed the last solemn rites Of the
church.

DON'T LIKE THE GAME LAWS.
Denver Hotel Men In Trouble and SVEN
Vengeance.

Denver Hotel Men In Trouble and Sweir
Vengeance.
Denver, Jan. 9.-The Republican this
morning says:
The Hotel Mems Association Of
Colorado will probably try conclusions
with the constltutio ality of the game
law of 1897. Recent prosecutions Of
hotel men in Denver and other cities
have set the hosts thinking to what ex-
tent they are protected, and In how
far they can serve their guests with
game without incurring the displeas-
ure of the law. Fred w. Bailey Of the
st. James hotel was arrested last even
ing on three warrants from Justice
Cranes court. The warrants charged
him with having and serving antelope
meat In the close season. He was re-
leased on his personal recogniZance Of
$500 pending hearing.
Manager Bailey said last night that he
believed 1t was time the hotel men of
the state understood their rights under
the law. "There have been too many
prosecutions of this character" said he,
"and, for my part. l want to know
whether the law is constitutional or
not.
81 have obtained the opinion of one
OF the leading lawyers In the city, ana
he advises me that the law is clearly
against the constitution. I believe that
the hotel men of the state should come
together and determine definitely II the
law contemplates the invasion Of our
business and our persecution by state
official who believes the state will
wither up and die II this new-fangled
game law is not enforced to the last
letter. If I can accomplish it l will
ask our association to take steps to se-
cure ruling from the Supreme Court
upon the constitutionality of the act Of
1897"
The manager of the Brown hotel was
arrested recently for violation Of the
game law in serving wild duck to
guests. Other hotel proprietors outside
Of Denver have been brought into JUS
tice courts, besides sportsmen who
have been accused of killing more than
the prescribed quantity of game with
IN twenty-four hours.

TO DISCUSS THETAx QUESTION
A Unique Convention Has been Called Inv

A Unique Convention Has been Called by
the Governor OF Arizona.
Phoenix. Arlz., Jan. 11.-1n Phoenix,
January 25th, will meet convention
unique in political history. 1t Will
comprise all members of the Boards of
Supervisors of the twelve counties of
the territory, the assessors of all the
counties, the Territorial Board of
Equalization and the territorial Off
cials. The convention has been called
by Governor NJ. III. McCord, who may
himself be the presiding officer.
Before the convention will be only
two questions: The furtherance Of
economy in the management of terri
torial and county affairs, and the pos
sibllity of raising revenue from proper
ty now practically exempt from tax
alton. Arizona is generally considered
primarily mining region; yet her
mines bear an almost inconsiderable
portion of the burdens of government.
The agriculturists, stockmen and rail
roads pay nearly all. The total assess
ment of the territory Is S30000,0 900.
Yet one mine alone within Arizona, the
United Verde, Mt Jerome. is CONNER
chilly rated as worth S3O,OOO,0OO. 1t
pays taxes in Yavapai county on about
100000 in Improvements and machin-
cry. Other large mines, the main ones
only considered, would bring the terri
torial wealth up to fully $150,00O,OO
could they be assessed. 1t is believed
the only way to secure revenue from
the mines is by tax on the bullion
output for the value of ore in place
could not be estimated.
To aid in the work to be done, the
governor has asked that meetings be
called for the same date in Phoenix of
the Arizona Live Stock Association and
the Territorial Agricultural Society. A
special call has also been issued from
the executive office, asking for gen.
eral gathering in Phoenix January 25th
of the miners of Arizona. for the pur-
pose of forming n miners association.

TELLER TALKS BACK.
Defends the Silver Men Against Foolish
Charges.

Defends the Silver Men Against Foolish
Charges.
Washington, Jan. S.-The feature of
the Senate session was a speech deliv-
cred by Mr.. Teller of Colorado, regard
ing press reports that the recent efforts
to make 1t appear that Secretary Gage
had rendered his resignation as a
member of the Cabinet to President
Mckinley were part of n conspiracy
of the silver men to disrupt the Cab
met and create dissensions between
the President and his advisers. Mr..
Teller branded the publication as an
Insult to the advocates of the free
coinage of silver. He was satisfied
that the President and Secretary Gage
were in full accord upon the financial
question. He attacked the Republican
party because it was n party advocat-
ing the gold standard. and expressed
his intention of doing all in his power
to defeat the party in 1900 and. to drag
the present administration from power
because the policy of the party was, in
his opinion, inmical to the best and
highest interests of the people of the
United States.
At the opening of the Senate the re-
ply of the attorney general to the SEN
ate resolution calling upon members
of the Cabinet to inform the Senate
what, If any, changes should be made
in the administration of the civil SER
vice law, was read.
The attorney general recommended
that attorneys employed by the De-
partment of Justice and deputy United
States marshals ought to be excepted
from the operation of the law.
