The fate of Durrant, so far as a legal | argument at Washington affects it, is in the hands of Louis P. Boardman, a prom- | 1sing young lawyer from Susanville. Mr. ! Boardman’s brief was sent to the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday, and will be examined by the court on the 15th | of next month. “It1sone of the most thorough and re- markable legal documents I ever read,” said Charles A. Garter yesterday, *“‘and if the Supreme Court can dismis< the appeal as trivial after reading that, I shall lose confidence in the power ¢f argument and | lozical statement.”” Ever since Messrs. Denprey and Dickin- son gave up the actual work of the case, Attorney Boardman has been burning the midaight o1l in the preparation of the argument for Durrant’s life, and the re- suit was the brief sent on yesterday. The main points of the argument are that a trial on information is not due process of law within the meaning of the cons'itution, and that such a trial is not | equal protection of the law as gnaranteed | by the same organic instrument. While these points have been made in other cases there are sad to be some fzcis in the Durrant case that make it stronger. The matter will come up on November the brief being in oprosition to a molion by Attorney-General Fitz:erald 1o dismiss the appeal as fnivolous. Mr. Boardman goes 1o the heart of the old question that arose in the Hutardo case, whnich went up from California, and ar- gues that it is not too late for the highest tribunal to raverse its decision, as it did in the jamous income-tax cases. He pleads that the princivle set_forth in the | California case is wrong and argu:s that | its reversal is tue only safe line for the | country. The reversal uf that case would give Durrant a new trial. e for the Valley Road. At their meeting yesterday the directors of the Valiey road decided to order 100 new box- cars from the Ensign Manufacturing Com- pany of Chicago. These cars will bs com- pleted in December and delivered at Stockton in January.

Fear the Influx of Mon,‘zo]ian. Women Will Increase the Slave Traffic. Strong Efforts Being Made to Secure Investigation of the Evil by Congress. | The decision recently handed down by United States District Judge C. H. Han- ford, that the wives and cnildren of Chi- nese merchants doing business in this country are entitled to admission without certificates from their home government, and the agitation of the question of the annexation of Hawaii, which wouid bring about he =addition of 20,000 more coolies to the Chinese po,ulation of the | country, have awakened uew energy in those who have been interested in the at- tempt to regulate the many evils result- | ing from the Mo lians’ utter disregard | of the laws of the country. i Itis predicted that the wholesale impor- | tation of women will increase in an alarm- ing degree the whole-ale traffic in human lives, which is already carried on here to such a great extent. Itisa well-known fact that slavery in its vilest form is already firmly estab- nsbed in Chinatown, and the history oi its practice as told in Tue CALL at the time the Christian Endeavor convention was I session here opened the eyes of 1hose who were not already aware ol it to the tact tha: the fourteenth amendment of the consutution or the United States was peing openly violated in San Kran- cisco. The missionaries who are engaged in work among the Chinese, and owing to whose efforts some of the thousand or | more girls held 1n bundage here have been rescued irom their cruel masters, re- | gard the decision of Judge Haniord with | considerable alarm, and it has spurred them to take aciive measures to secure an oificial investigaiion of the exisung evils, | with a view to tueir correction. Tue movement starced by the Chinese mission ot the Methodist Episcopul church the first pariof last Augu.ito send a memorial to President McKiniey cali- ing b s attention to the conditions in ex- | isience here and asking him to make a recommendation to Congress in regard to | tue mwatter, has rec-ived very litile attan- | tion iately, but will now bpe taken up again and pushed for ail there is 1n it. The work of getting signatures was in the Lands cf Miss L ke, and before her departure ior Hono.uiuon a trip lor rest from the severe work she Las been doing considerable was done toward nliing up the petition. | Aiss Luke has already hundreds of sig- | natures in her possession, abd there are a numbver of papers being circulatea which | have not as yei been handed in tc her. She desires those who are circulating the petitions to renew their efforts and return the signed petitions to her as soon as pos- sible, in order that an esiimate can be made us to bow much more work is neces- | sarv in the matter. The ministers of thecity have taken considerable interest in the matter and neariy all of the pastors have signed the petition and are securing the signatures of their congregations. The Presbyterian svnod passed a resolution favoring she movement and the secretary of toe con- vention was uuthorized to sign the peti- tion for the synod. No work has been done among the busi- | ness men yet, but they will be seen imme- | diately, and 1t_is hoped that a petition can ve sent to Washington iarge enough to insure some action on the part of the President. | A FLORAL STAR. | Presentation to Chief Lees on the | Forty-Fourth Auniversary of His | 2 ppointment. When Chief Lees entered his office yes- | terday morning he was agreeably sur- prised to see a3 magnificent floral star| avbout five feet high, wh.ch had been placed in a position to meet his eye as soon as he entered. The star was composed of white chrysan- | themums. On top was a circular piece | with the figures “44” in red carnations and at the bottom a bar with the word | “years,” also in red carnations. These | were composed of cut flowers and maiden- | air fern. A card bore the simple inscrip- tion, “From the Office.” The Chier yesterdav celebrated the fortv-fourth anniversary of his appoint- | nent to the police lorce, and that was the | way in which the officer< emploved at | headquarters took to express their con- gratuiations on the auspicious event. g e FEEETETETEETTETTY | READ THE STORY OF “Two Modest Dianas of Mendocino County.” i In next SUNDAY’S CALL.
