THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 4 1897. FAVORITES ARE O THE DECLINE The Talent Made a Mess of It Yesterdar at Emeryville. Ostler Joe Was in Rare Fettle and Equalel a Coast | Record. Daylight Won a Gamely Contested Race—Torsida Disposed of Her Field Very Handily. The favorites were in poor form opening at Emeryville, capturing but two of | s events on the card. The attendance was none too large, and it begins to look | as it race-goers really did have a surfeit of the sport. | By far the best performance of the day was that of the black horse Ostler Joe in the mile and a sixteenth purse event. Opening a 3 to 2 choice he receded to 3 to 1,and all from s stiff play which caused | the price | zainst Double Quick to be swiped from twos down to 3 to 2. Ostler laid at the favorite’s side to the stretch, where he drew away and won by three lengths from Satsuma in 1:463, equaling the coast record. Veragua, second choice in the betting, proved the best of the eleven platers that answered the posteall in the opening seven furlong selling race. Bozeman hustled Lim out in front and, maintaining his ad- vantage throughout, passed the wire a length ahead of Mulberry, which came from the rear at the end and took the place from Nervoso. Wm. O'B, the favor- ite, was unplaces | The next race decided was a mile selling dash, for which St. Aignon ruled a2to1 choice, with Daylight next in demand at | 5t02 The barrier was broken in a break- away and Ferguson started the field with | the red bunting. Isom got Daylight | nin in 1:42 After receding in the betting from 7 to 5 to2to 1 Torsida captured the two-year- old scramble at five furlongs very handily. Bergen weited with her until straight- ened for the wire, when he passed Rey Salauzar and beat the colt out by three lengths in 1 Elsmore finished in the she The defeat of Zamar II, the 3 to 5 choice for the fourth event at six furlongs, was not unexpected. Peixotto raced with him to the stretch, when he showed the dis- tress signal. Peixolto now assumed com mand, but was in_tarn passed and eas beaten out by Colonel Wheeler, against | which 5 to 1 was obtainable. | Refugec, the 6 to 5 choice, managed to | win the final seven-furiong run by the | narrowest of margins. Mainstay led him for most of the distance and was only downed & nose the last jump in 1 — NOTES. | Peter Weber, the well-known horse- | man, now a resident of Los Angeles, was | at the track yesterday. \ Wally Weaver left for Denver yesterday | with Cabrillo and Tulare, recently pur- chased from Pat Dunne and the usefnl plater Charlemagne, which formerly ran in Barney Schreiver's colors.

Major Winchell and Editor Millsap of the Salvation Army, with Chaplain Drabms of the prison. visited Theodors Durrant in his cell at San Quentin Sun- day. In the short conversation that was held | witn the condemned man he exoressed him | self to the effect that he expected that his visitors had been imbued with the general opinion of his guilt, Yet, while that might be the case, he assured them he was 1 innocent irrespective of this general be- | lief “'on the outside.” He affirmed his be- lief in religion and that he was still a Bap- | tist, believing in the tenets of his faith. He excused himself to his visitors, saying be was busy writing, but would be glad to see them agair. The Salvation officers say the condemned man looks haggard and fretful, and has lost much of his cheeriulness since he was | removed from the County Jaii. Chaplain Drahms offered no opinion re- garding bim further than that the officers of the jail speak of Durrant as being an obedient inmate. ————— Entertained the Delegates.

Introduces a Resolution to That Effect at the Board Meeting. Dr. Ciinton S:ys the Cut in Water Rates Must B: Mace a Hori- zontal One. Supervisor Smith came within one vote at the meeting of the Board of Super- visors yesterday of getting through a reso- lution that would have settled the vexed question of the payment of teachers’ sal- aries. Near the close of the meeting he introduced the following measure: WHEREAS, In the tax levy of the present fiseni vear allowence was made for the sum of $947,000, to be used in the payment of sal- aries'ench month on demand of teachers and other School Department employes; and where- as, at the same time an allowance of $294.277 wes made for buildings, supplies and otuer incidental expenses of the School Depart- ment for this fiscal year; and whereas, notwith- standing this fact, the hard-working scnool teachers have been deprived of their salaries for the period of fifteen days; and whereas, publications in the daily press indicate that the salary demands of the teachers will be withheld during the month of June by the Board of Education for the purpose of further- ing the payment of demands for supplies pur- chased in excess of the amount allowed in the tax levy by the Board or Supervisors; there- fore be it Resolved, That we deem it the duty of the Bourd of Education to issue each month a salary demand to each teacher and employe of the School Department for the amount due as contemplated by the Board of Supervisors in making up the tax levy for the fiscal year 1896-97. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Board of Education to forthwith pay ail back salaries to teachers in preference to the payment of ex- cessive supply demands. Resolved, That the clerk is hereby instructed to transwit a copy of this resolution to the Board of Eaucation. Dr. Clinton wanted the matter put over a week. He said that previous School Boards had found it necessary to tempor- arily withhold the pay of teachers in or- der to tide over financial difficulties, but that the instructors had always been paid in theend. He questioned the authority of the Board of Supervisors to interfere with the Board of Education. Superyisor Smith declared it was the duty of the Board of Supervisors to see that the teachers were paid. The Super- visors furnished the funds for the School Department and the Supreme Court Lad recently decided that teachers must be paid no matter who else had to wait. Supervisor Britt wanted the matter postponed until the board could consuit with the School Directors. The motion to lay over a week was defeated by a vote of 7t05. A motion by Supervisor Britt to lay the motion on the table was defeated by the same vote. A motion by Suvervisor Clinton to refer the matter to the Finance Committee was carried by a vote of 7 to 5. Supervisor Lackman demanded to know what had become of the water rate ques- tion and woy the Water Committes had not rendered & report. He reminded the board that the matter had been under consideration a long time and that the rate-payers were growing anxions. He called on Supervisor Clinton, chairman of the committee. The iatter stated that the committee was still seek- ing information. That the water com- pany's books were of such a character the expert of the board could make no head nor tail of them, and that it seemed as though the cut in_rates must be made a horizontal one. He thonght the commit- tee would call a meeting within a few days. Bupervisor Rottanzi’s high hat ordi- nance was laid over for four weeks much to tke doctor’s disgust. The matter of transferring the annual Fourth of July appropriation to the boule- vard fund was laid over a week. A com- munication from the Chamber of Com- merce, requesting that the iransfer be made, was placed on file. A resolution introduced by Supervisor Deianey, tbat the positions of James Loney and Thomas Denahy in the Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph be declarea vacant and William Castieman and Jobn Reynolds be appointed to fill them, was | laid over for two weeks, Supervisors De- laney, Britt and Morton voting against the postponement. oAt e STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

An Envelope Containing $650 Handed Him by I M. Scott on Behalf of Many Friends. The First Congregational Church was the scene of a notable little ceremony on Sunday night, when s large congregation had assemblea to celebrate the twenty- fifth anniversary of Samuel D. Mayer as organist and choirmaster of the church. The pulpit and organ-loft were beautifully decorated with flowers, and an elaborate musical service was rendered, the pastor, Dr. Adams, delivering an appropriate dis- course on musical instruments. But it was after the regular service that the particular cercmony of the evening occurred. Organist Sam Mayer was play- ing the postiude in the presence of over 200 people when he was informed that Dr. Adams wanted him. The doctor made & brief address, alluding to Mr. Mayer’slong and faithful work, and was followed by Mr. Brown and Irving M. Scott. The Iatter wound up a felicitous address by presenting Mr. Mayer with a large enve- lope containing $650, one of the constitu- ent checks being from Mrs. Harriet Crocker Alexander of New York for $250. Mrs. Alexander was the donor of the First Church grand organ, which Mr. Mayer handles so well. The pleasant af- fair terminated in an all-around hand- shaking, in which the arm of the popular organist ran serious risk of dislocation. ——————— A Soclety Recital. A dramatic and dialect recital will be given by Miss Hattie Nathan at the Maple Hall of the Palace Hotel on Thursday evening, May 27. The affair will be under the auspices of the Eureka Society for the Protection of Children, which_bas been recently organized by Mrs. Kate Pettee. The programme includes dra- matic, comedy, dislect and Shakespearean roles, to conclude with the charming Eastern noveity of soug reciting. As Miss Nathan is well known in society circies it is expected that a large gathering will greet her appear ance. i 3 i 4 CUSRANT FILES HIS LAST LEGAL PAPER Bill of Exceptions Presented Yesterday in Judge Bahrs’ Court. Attorney Deuprey Says This Will Act as a Stay of Proceedings. District Attorney Barnes Says the Execution Will Take Place on the Date Appointed. The Durrant case was np in Judge Bahrs’ court yesterday, the biil of excep- tions being tiled by Attorneys Eugene N. Deuprey and John H. Dickinson on be- hall of the deferdant, Theodore W. H. Darrant, convicted of the murder of Blanch Lamont. The position taken by the attorneys for Durrant is that Judge Bahrs in passing sentence of death on the prisoner based tizat action on the judgment hitherto en- tered by ex-Judge D. J. Murphy, who at the close of the trial sentenced Durrant to imprisonment in the State prison and to be executed by hanging. At the time of the proceedings in Judge Bahrs' court the words used by ex-Judge Murphy were repeated, 8o far as the order of imprison- ment before execution was' concerned, and the court declined to strike out those words, although Mr. Deuprey at that time moved to have them canceled from the record. In his argument before Judge Bahrs on the 10th of last month Mr. Deuprey char- acterized ex-Judge Murphy’s action as a ‘‘pretended judgment,” alleging that the Court in that matter bad exceeded its authority, and that therefore the entire judgment had been vitiatea and had been made null and void. The objection thus made was overruled by Judge Bahrs and an exception was duly entered. At every stage of the pro- ceedings excepiions to the orders of the court were noted, and particularly there ‘was an exception to the judgment -and sentence of death, to be preceded by im- prisonment in the State Prison. Mr. Deuprey held that there was a nice distinction involved in this point, and he believed that the court had overstepped the mark. He admitted that when the jury returned averdict of murder of the lirstdegree against Darrant, without fix- ing the penalty at imprisonment for life, that fact carried with it the infliction of the death penalty. If stopped then, Mr. Deuprey argued, no error would have been committed in pass- ing sentence, for he thought an error fatal to the legality of the order was made when ex-Judge Murphy added the punishment ofimprisonmentin the Sta‘e penitentiary at San Quentin. He cited authorities in support of this position, but Judge Bahrs thought the decisions quoted were not applicable, so he disregarded them and followed the words of ex-Ju:ge Murphy | in_passing sentence on Durrant. Mr. Deuprey said yesterday that the next thing to be done is to print the bill of exceptions and present the same to the Supreme Court. “In the meantime,” he aided, “our appeal to the Supreme Court acts as a stay of proceedings. I have heard that counsel for the people say tnar this is not so, but I do not regard their opinion as binding. This order made by Judge Bahrs, aside from all other consd- erations, is clearly an appealable order, since it is an order after judgment. Our bill of exceptions will be filed in the Su- preme Court on or before the 10th inst., and there can be no reasonable dispute as to proceedings being stayed until our ap- peal has been heard and determined by the Supreme Court. Of course, there could not possibly be an exccution of Theodore Durrant before that appeal is decided against him, as no one has authority to carry out the order of the Superior Court until that time. The Warden of the State Prison would not dare to do it. He woula not care to incur the responsibility and | take the chances of answering to a charge of murder.” District Attorney W. 8. Barnes said: “I suppoose Mr. Deuprey is doing the last thing that can be done for his client. Of course he is all right, 8o far as that is con- cerned, but I don’t see that this bill of ex- ceptions cuts any material figure in the case. It will not act as a stay df proceed- ings, and wiil not interfere with the ex- ecution of Durrant unless an order to that effect is made by the Supreme Court. A similar course was taken in the Fred- ericks case, but there was no delay in the execution. It was several weeks after Fredericks was hanged before the Su- preme Court handed down an opinion con- firming the judgment against him. “Of course the Supreme Court has the power to issue an order at any time grant- ing a stay of proceedings, and that may be done; but unless it is done the execu- tion will come off at the time provided for in Judge Bahrs’ order.” Lawyers regard this as a very interest- ing point in eriminel jurisprudence, and it is inferred that Durrant is not alto- gether indifferent to the way in which it shall be finally settled. Warden Hale has also some feeling touching the part he is likely to take in the proceedings, and it is thought that an effort will be made to secure an early expression of opinion from the Supreme Court.
