NATIONAL EDUCATORS
Investigators Coming to Inspect the
City's Convention Facilities

President o. K. Lite of the ma tional board
OF education, Secretary DR.. Irwin w. Shep-
herds, Superintendent ]. M. Greenwood and
Chairman Albert G. Lane Of the trustees
will arrive today by the Santa Fe and will
be welcomed by committee of the cham
ber Of commerce composed Of Messrs.
Story and Siegel and Judge Groff and by
a committee of the local board of educa-
ton composed Of Messrs. Davis and Ennis.
The visitors come to investigate the fa-
cilities which this city offers for the ac-
commodation of the annual session Of the
national board Of education, which is to be
held next July In some large city of the
United States The party has stopped at
Salt Lake City and before returning home
will visit San Francisco and Tacoma before
making a choice at meeting for that pur-
pose to be held in Chicago.
The visitors will be entertained at the
Van Nuys while here and will be shown
about tho city today. They will make
particularly careful investigation of the
various halls and churches, because the
session must have the best facilities for
its work. which embraces lectures upon
educational subjects, conferences, etc. 1t
may be necessary to hold as many as six
teen meetings In one day, at different To-
cations, in order to accommodate the 0000
to 200 people who are expected to be IN
attendance. The attendance will be made
up of teachers only, and only teachers who
Join or have Joined the association. One
large meeting place will be needed. Haz-
ards pavilion may be selected for this pur-
pose, 1t being the largest hall in town.
Despite the pavilion's size, however 1t Is
feared that It may not be regarded by the
visitors as large enough. Upon this event
depends largely the selection Of Los An
geles for the meeting place. There are
other facilities which the association de-
mands. A proper railroad rate between
here and Chicago. the rendezvous Is
wanted. The association desires a rate Of
$50, the same az granted by the railroads
to the Christian Endeavorers last spring.
All these demands the local committees are
confident of supplying, and they feel rea-
sonably assured therefore that Los Ange-
les will secure the plum, beca use the asso-
citation inclines favorably toward Southern
California. Last years meeting was held

NERVE ALL GONE.
Durrnnt May Have to- Be Carried to
the GaIIoV.s.

SAN QUENTIN, Jan. 6.-Theodore
Durrant has broken down completely
When visited by his parents he con-
trolls himself and stimulates calmnesS,
but alone with his guards he gives
way to the most violent hysterical out
breaks, rolling on the floor of his cell,
screaming and crying. His nerves
seems to have completely forsaken him.
and the opinion is expressed by the
prison officials that the condemned
man, whose attitude Of entire self-pos-
session and cool Indifference ever since
his arrest has been so remarkable,
will have to be carried to the gallOws.
In speaking of the Durrant case, Gen.
Dickinson, one of Durrant's counsel,
said:
mo one will have permission to in
tervew the condemned man before he
is hanged, as | have authority in this
matter, and have given strict orders
that no one shall see him. If the un-
fortunate man must die, [ believe in
letting him spend his last hours in
peace, and will not submit to having
him pestered. If anyone does permit
him to be seen, it will not only be con-
trary to my orders, but will also be a
violation of faith and the breaking of
a solemn promise"
Durrant's father has not decided
what disposition he will make of the
body. Friends are trying to induce
him to have the remains cremated.

Legal Objections to Durrant's Ex-
ecutiOn brushed Aside.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Justice
brewer refused both Of Attorney
Boardman's applications for interfer-
ence in the Durrant case. Immediately
after the adjournment of the supreme
court at 4 o'clock, Justice Brewer re-
paired to the attorney generals room,
where he received Mr.. Boardman. and
went over the case in detail with him
He first considered the application to
sign citation upon the appeal which
was sought to be taken from the judg-
ment of the federal court of Calfor-
MIA, denying the issuance of a writ of
habeas corpus, the object being to PEI
feet the appeal. This application was
refused, and then Mr.. Boardman pre-
sented an application TOR a writ of
error from the judgment of the SUI
preme court of California upon the APP
peal from the last order of Judge Bahr.
fixing the date for Durrant's execution,
the object being to secure a writ of
supercedeas, which would act as a stay
of proceedings In this matter Mr..
Boardman sought to have the order
denying this appeal considered as the
final judgment of the supreme court
in the case. In denying the applica-
ton upon the habeaS corpus proceed
lngs, Justice Brewer said that under
the construction by the court of the
constitution the federal courts had no
power of limitation upon the right of
appeal in habeaS corpus proceedings.
the opinion being that such appeals
should not be allowed where the ap-
peal operates to suspend the power of
the state authority, and especially
where the case has already been heard
upon one appeal in the habeas corpus
proceedings. With reference to the
writ of error, he considered especially
the representation by Mr.. Boardman
upon the claim that, as the constitu-
ton of California grants an appeal,
such an appeal becomes a vested right.
The justice considered this point care
fully but said that as he could not ac-
cept the courts judgment on this
point as its final action, he could not,
therefore, see his way clear to inter
fere on this account. Mr.. Boardman
pointed out that the probable eXecu-
ton of Durrant tomorrow would have
the practical effect Of making the judg-
ment final so far as it should bear upon
his fortunes. but the justice held to
his original determination in the mat
ter. In presenting the matter, Mr..
BOardman was armed with a long list
of documents which he used, especially
in his effort to secure the review of the
courts action in the habeas corpus
proceedings. Those related to alleged
errors in denying the prisoner his
rights under the constitution. The in
terview lasted forty minutes.

and that the other colleges have also been

certainly assented, and the probabilities are

EXPRESS COMPANY ROBBED.
Ten Thousand Dollars Taken by a
Trusted Clerk.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The American Elk
press company was robbed today OF S10,562
and Clark Braden Jr., trusted employe. is
missing. Central officers and private detec-
tives are hunting for him. Three days ago
the night manager in charge of the office at
Forty seventh street and Madison avenue
YVES taken i'll and Braden, a clerk of the COM
pany for more than ten years, tempo
rarly substituted. This Office the company
uses as a clearing house for all its matter
sent or received from the Grand Central
station. Among the parcels to be sent on the
$50 o'clock train on the Hudson River road
this morning were several containing cash
to the amount of 1852 and one containing
five $1CG0 Chicago Gas bonds. 1t Bra
den's place to take these packages to the
train return to the office and remain on
duty till Z o'clock. When the day employees
arrived Braden was not in the Office. The
safe was locked. There were receipts for
valuable packages by the morning train, al
though the books showed that several such
parcels had been received at the office. At
first the absence of Braden and the receipts
was set down to carelessness. But q few
minutes later the leather bags which had
contained the packages were found under
come freight. They had been cut open and
the money anG bends taken. That the rob-
berry was hastily carried out is shown by
the fact that $4,000, mostly in cash. left
in the safe and that the bonds were taken.
Notices were sent to every bank and finan-
cial institution in the country warning them
against purchasing the stolen gas bonds.
