ANOTHER VENIRE ORDERED. It Is Confidently Asserted That a Full Box Will Be Secured - Next Week. THE DURRANT CASE IN A MINUTE—BRIEF REVIEW OF THE PROCEEDINGS. Twenty-three veniremen were examined in Judge Murphy’s court yesterday morning as to their qualifications to sit as jurors in the | Durrant case. The venire was exhausted be- fore noon, the united efforts of attorneys on both sides failing to land an additional juror in the box. His Honor ordered another venire of 200, half returnable Monday, the remainder Tues- day, and it is supposed that the three jurors necessary to complete the panel may be found among them. If not, a special venire must be ordered, as onlw thirty names now 1emain in the trial jury box, and the Sheriff will go out into the body of the county for talesmen. There was an absence of incident in the court proceedings in the Durrant case yes- terday to interest the small audience in at- tendance. Only twenty-three veniremen A SCENE IN THE CIPRICO CABE.

ANNUAL UNION BRALLY, Grand Temperance Demonstration to Be Afforded by the League of the Cross Cadets. The various organizations of the League of the Cross in this City will co-pperate in giving their annual union temperance rally this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Mechanics’ Pavilion being occupied by the fair, it has been found necessary to hold the demonstration at the Verein Eintracht Hall on Twelith street, near Howard, which is the next largest hall available. 1t is expected there will be 3000 young men and boys in the audience. A large number of new members from all sections of the €City will be admitted to the society on this occasion and will be pledged to total absfinence until reaching their twenty-first year. A selected programme appropriate to the occasion will be presented, and ad- porting passengers and freight. There will be several stations on the road where freight will be handled and people may take or leave the trains. The best feature of the enterprise will be its inducement for fruit-canneries and other manufactur- ing concerns to locate along the route. Cheap rates will be assured shippers by this new line, which will bring products of Santa Clara within reach of deep-water ships in the harbor of S8an Francisco with- out much trouble and at a trifling cost. GUARDS NEEDED. The Railroad on Harrison Street Is a Menace to Life and Limb. The attention of the Supervisors is again to be ealled to the dangerous, unguardea conuition of the Southern Pacific track on Harrison street from Sixteenth to Twenty- second. James McMenomy, guarded crossings, is of the opinion that the citizens in that vicinity were in favor of demanding a system similar to the one adopted by the New York Central—that is, for the tracks to be laid in uncovered tun- pels, to be bridged over at all street cross- ings, thereby making accidents an impos- sibility. The property-owners are at present pre- paring a list of the deaths and accidents resulting from the condition of the track, and this, with other petitions, will be pre- sented to the Supervisors, asking imme- diate action in the matter before any more deaths result from the negligence of the Southern Pacific Company. an advocate of ————-—— For Ukiah To-Morrow.

Incorporation of a Company | of the railway deposited $10,000 in the | gauge, though it will be used for trans- | were examined, and none of them were proof against the challenges for cause. Three attachments were issued for absent ones, and one was afterward withdrawn. The box was exhausted and 200 names or- dered, one half returnable on Monday morning and the other on Tuesday. These names were drawn from the County Clerk’s trial box at 12 o’clock, making a total of 1250 that have been ordered in this case. There now remain but thirty names in the great box. in which there were originally placed the names of 3600 citi- zens subject to jury duty in the several courts. Judge Murphy took his seat promptly at 10 o'clock and the proceedings, which lasted only an hour, were begun. The tin box delivered three names—A. A. Son, J. Schreiber Jr., E. Emanuel. Mr. Son did not respond, and the name of J. G. Buchanan was called. An attach- | ment was ordered for Mr. Son and the novelty of a §50 bail fixed. The order for the attachment was later withdrawn. J. Schreiber Jr. said be could not convict on circumstantial evidence. E. Emanuel said he had formed and still retained an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. J. G. Buchanan declared that his name was not on the tax assessment roll. So these three were quickly excused and another two quickly called into the box. They were excused, as were the | others that followed until the names in the box were exhausted. S. W. Cowels said he had an opinion which hecould not lay aside. He wa$ ex- cused on the challenge of the State. F. Gerkin said he had formed a very | strong opinion, which counld not be easily removed. He was excused. A. Sinsheimer answered the questions of the State and was acceptable, but the opin- ion he bad formed caused him to be chal- lenged by the defense. He was excused. M. A. Wolf also said he had an opinion, which excused him from service. E. W. Daniel after answering the ques- | tions of the State promptly and satisfac- | torily was dismissed by the defense. He had a strong opinion. J. M. Lyons said be had an opinion for a long time, though not wholly based on the reading of the testimony and news- paper stories. He had used his own judg- ment somewhat in the matter. He was excused. S. Friedman said he would be willing to join in a verdict of guilty where the pen- alty is death, and that he bad no prejudice against circumstantial evidence. l‘!un he had formed an opinion and was excused. P. Fuarst said he was conscientiously op- posed to the death penalty, and that ex- cused him from duty. L. Kahn stated that he had an opinion which must be met with very strong evi- dence. He was excused. C. Fett declared that he could not con- viet on circumstantial evidence. He was chal]en§ed by the State and excused. J. Holland was called, but he had been excused till Monday, owing to the demand for his presence as a party to a civil suit in another court. C. M. Delano was excused by the State because he said that be would not join ina verdict on circumstantial evidence where the penalty might be death. H. Klindt¢ declared that he had no scrn- ples against the death penalty and if the circumstantial evidence was strong enough he could convict. He said he had read part of the testimony and at one time he thought he had anopinion and believed he had it new. He was challenged by the State and gxcused. M. J. Henley said he had a conscientious scruple against the death penalty and was excused by the State. Andrew Forman Jr. said if he thought circumstantial evidence was strong enough he could convict in a case where death was the penalty. He said he had followed the case and had an opinion. He was excused H. A. Taussig objected to the oath and wasaflirmed to do his duty were he chosen, but as he said he was opposed to cavitai punishment he was promptly excused by the State. B. F. Wombold said he could not join in a verdict of guilty where the penalty might be death on circumstantial evidence, and-| he was excused by the State. E. V. Kelly said he could convict on cir- cumstantial evidence where the ‘fenalty might be death. He said he had no ac- quaintance with Durrant or any one con- nected with the case. He appeared to be a satisfactory juror until he said he had formed an opinion, and that excused him. M. Newfield said he would be willing to find a verdict on circumstantial evidence where the penalty might be death, but he had formed an opinion ana could. not become a good juror. He was excused. A. J. Gove said circumstantial evidence woula have to prove to him beyond rea- sonable doubt the guilt of the defendant before he could convict. He said he had formed an opinion which he could not avoid. having read the testimony and the stories of the case. He was allowed to go. At the next turn of the box the names of 8. L. Goldstein and S, Friedman came out. Neither responded and attachments were ordered. The box was empty and the audience was asked if it contained the names of any veniremen who had not been called. O.Y. Shaefer arose and saia he was one. His name was promptly placed in the box, the wheel went round and Mr. Shaefer took one of the vacant chaurs in the jory-box. But he did not re- main long, He declared that he was con- scientiously opposed to' capital punish- ment and he retired on the challenge of the State. Mr. Shaefer was the three hun- dred and seventy-fifth venireman actually exempt from duty.. “Mr. Clerk,” asked Judge Murphy, “how many of thg 3600 names now remain in the list ?” “Something over 200, your Honor.” “Are you sure there are 2002 “Yes, more than that.” “Let an order be entered to the County Clerk to be here at 12 o’clock noon this day with the trial jury-box and proceed to draw therefrom the names of 200 citizens, 100 returnable here on Monday morning and 100 on Tuesday morning. ‘I suppose, gentlemen of counsél, it is understood this division is by consent.” - The silence of counsel gave the consent, and the court admonished the jurors to re- frain from reading and thinking about the case, and to permit their mindsto be blank on the subject. 5 *‘You are excused till Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and you will please to be here promptly,” he concluded, and the trial was ad journed. At 12 o’clock the 200 names ordered were drawn in the presence oi his Honor, leav- ing only thirty names remaining of the 3600 originally placed in the box, and of which 1250 have been drawn in the trial of William Henry Theodore Durrant. Judge Murphy stated that on Monday he would order all the names drawn, those not accepted on this jury to be replaced in the County Clerk’s box of trial jurors. PERJURY THE OHARGE. Judge Low Orders a Defendant Into Custody for ¥alse Swearing. Andrew Berg, a cigar-dealer at the corner of Mission and Fourth streets, was before Judge Low yesterday morning, with half a dozen others, accused of sell- ing cigarettes to minors. They all had agreed to plead guilty and pay a fine of $5, but at the last moment Berg decided to stand trial. \ James Collins, a bov, testified to buying the cigarettes of Berg, and Secretary Kane of the Society tor the Prevention of Vice and Detective Coleman testified to seeing Berg sell them. Notwithstanding this Berg took the stand in his own behalf and swore he had not sold them. Judge Low decided that perjury had been committed, and ordered Berg into custody. Low is the Judge who, on Thursday, ordered Witness Isaacs into custody for giving perjured testimony. Berg is the second to suffer. Immediately after Berg’s arrest a battery case was called, in which the defendant asked for a continuance because, as he said, his witnesses were in Sacramento. The complainant protested that the de- fendant had no witnesses. His Honor re- marking, “I guess this is another perjury case,’” ordered the defendant sworn. He then asked about the alleged witnesses. The defendant hesitated, noticed a war ing shake of the head from a friend who stood by and replied: *‘Well, Judge, I uess I better think a little about this.”” e is thinking of it yet. THE ANTI-JAP AGITATION, People in Los Angeles Starting a Crusade Against Coolies. Trouble Feared When the Aslatics Enter the Field at Vina. Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitzgerald is greatly pleased with the encouragement he 1sconstantly receiving in his anti-Japanese cooly agitation. People in ail parts of the State are writing to him urging him to keep the ball rolling in the interests of white labor. While in Los Angeles re- cently hefound that nearly all of the cheap restaurants are being conducted by Japan- ese, and the publication of this fact in the San Francisco papers has caused the people of Los Angeles to start an anti-Japanese crusade. The papers of that city are taking hold of the question. J. Leo Parke, assist- ant editor of the Record, called upon Mr. Fitzgerald yesterday and stated that the people in bis city will heartily support the Labor Commissioner in pushing through Congress a Japanese exclusion act. Mr. Parke said that the proprietors of the Jap restaurants in order to counteract the feel- ing against them are discharging all of their Japanese cooks «nd other help and are employing white cooks and waiters, Mr. Fitzgerald is not pleased that Mrs. Stanford should ignore the letter written to her relative to hiring Japanese coolies to do the work at the vineyards and ranches of the Stanford estate near Vina. Several weeks ago he received a letter irom John Dunn, stating that Mrs. Stan- ford had caused her superintendent, 0. I. Morse, to discharge the white men and contract for 200 Japanese to harvest the crop of grapes and do other ranch work. Deputy Dam wrote to Mrs. Stanford, for Mr. Fitzgerald was in the south at the time, stating what Dunn had said and offering to furnish all the white help Mrs. Stanford might desire. He also asked if it was true that she had hired 200 Japs, which facts are of interest in compiling the State labor statistics. Yesterday William Fitzgerald said: I can hardly believe that the lady has failed to receive the letter sent to her from this office, ana I feel that we are entitled to an answer. This commission does not dispute Mrs. Stan- ford’s right to emgloy any class of laborers she chooses upon the Stanford estate, but if she is employing coclies the public will, no doubt, think such was not the policy of the late Sena- tor Stanford. When he was running for offfce he was recognized throughout the United States as the friend of the white working men. Mr. Fitzgerald said that he was satisfied that Japaunese had been engaged to work on the Vina ranch, for Superintendent Morse is reported in a Red Bluff paper as having said: “We have contracted for Japanese, and there is no going back on it.” The superintendent 1n the interview said that last year he employed white men at $1 50 a day, but this year the white men want 70 cents a ton for picking grapes be- sides their board. The Japs will work for 85 cents a ton and board themselves. At the time Dunn’s letter was received its contents were published in TrE CALL. Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the article was republished in the Red Bluff News, and the editor of the lattertpaper in comment- ing upon the hiring of Japanese by Mrs. Stanford said: This has grown out of the fact that the con- tract for grape-picking was offered to the low- est bidder, and & Japanese put in the lowest bid by 5 centsa ton. It is supposed that the Jap will get the contract, but if it has been let we have not heard that such is a fact. As Mrs. Stanford doubtless reserved the right to reject bids we hope she will yet see her way clear to give the contract to Judge Wiley, who will em- ploy white men. The Labor Commissioner states that it would not surprise him if trouble resulted from the discharge of white men and the hiring of Japsto take their places, espe- cially where only a matter of a few cents is involved. ——— Bicycles are said to have seriously af- fected the sale of pianos in England.

A GOOD UNIVERSITY DISPLAY. Two-Thirds of the Wc.k In the Art Department by California Talent. The art gallery is one of the most at- tractive places at the -Mechanics’ Fair to many of the visitors. Solly Walters, the superintendent of the art department, has introduced a decided innovation in doing away with the usual stiff grouping of oil paintings in one place, water colors in another, black and white in a third and etchings at some prescribed place. Mr. Walters followed a model of a studio. ‘Water colors are hung beside oils and black and white sketches are in contrast with vivid bits of colgring. The long lines of pictures are broken by an occasional picturesque drapery or a nook filled with pyrographic sketches. The collection of statuary is placed at irregular intervals in the center of the hall. The paintings number 265, the last being received yesterday, and all scem of a high order. There ure nine pieces of statuary, and some handsome tapestry will be ex- hibited on screens to-day. Two-thirds of the work exhibited is that of local artists, and the remainder has been loaned by local owners and dealers. There are paintings by William Keith, Jobn A. Stanton, L. P.” Latimer, A. F.

Among the loaned pictures is a Murillo, the property of Dr. J. M. Sharkey. The art of sculpture is represented b; the works of Rupert Schmid, M. Selig, J. Milo Griffith and Carry D. Terry. Except- ing two bas-reliefs the statuary isrom- posed of busts in plasterand bronze figures. Busts of Governor Downey and Dr. Rich- ter are shown by Rupert Schmidt, and of General Sheridan and Dr. D. McLean by J. Milo Griffith. The department of decorative and indus- trial art of the University of California makes a creditable display, especially con- sidering the fact that the department is only a year old. The work displayed comprises the fol- lowine: Geometrical desizns, based on vertical, horizontal and oblique lines; de- signs in which straight, inclined and curved lines are uvsed; designs based on the circle and its sezments, elementary designs, plants adapted to the square, plants adapted to tKe pentacon, plants adapted to the circle, plantsadapted to the triangle, plant units adapted to borders, plant units adapted to all-over surface dec- oration, plant analysis for use in design, blanket borders, .pen and ink sketches from the object, original designs for stone and wood carving, wall-paper borders (re- produced), original renaissance units for surface decoration, elementary wall-paper designs, design for Nachman’sdining-room decoration, plant formsadapted to geomet- ric spaces, designs for book covers, designs for tile flooring, designs for stained-glass windows, design for wrought-iron girder and design for a wrought-iron gate. Perhaps the most meritorious feature of the display is the wood carving. Another Blythe Claimant. Another claimant has appeared for the millions left by Thomas H. Blythe.
