Mrs. Nettie Craven is apparently not the least disturbed over the order issued by Judge Slack on Saturday requiring her to bring into court at 7:30 o’clock to-night | all papers and writings in her possession | executed in part or whole by the late James G. Fair. Accompanied by her daughter Mar- garet, Mrs. Craven spent the best portion of yesterday driving abont the Oity, to the Park and other places of interest. It is not by any means certain that the lady of penciled wills ana deeds will re- She claims to have no official knowledge that her presence is desired in court, though if her attorneys think best to ac-| knowledge the order as published in Trr Miss Margaret Craven, Daughter of Mrs. Nettie Craven. The Young Lady Has Already Distinguished Herself by Championing Her Mother’s Cause in the Face of Obtrusive Servers of Subpenas. The Young Lady Has Won Many ¥riends and Histrionic Honors by Her Natural Gifts and Accomplishments. {8 N A i7 Mrs. Nettie Craven, the School Principal, Who Has Created the Laiest Sensation | in the frotracted Fair state Case by Kecording a Deed Giving Her Over a Million Dollars’ Worth of Property Estate. The Lady Is Confident Her Claim Will Stand in Law and Equity. CarL she will do so. She proposes to be guided entirely by them in the matter. ““I have no desire to evade the mandate of the court,’’ said Mrs. Craven last night, “though I do seriously object to the method employed in serving the so-called paper. The fact that 1 was down town attending to my regular business and incidentally returning a few calls, should prove clearly that I was not attempting to avoid any official summons. 1 am told that it was Captain Callunden who tried to serve the paper. Why, I have known him for sixteen years, but when he approached me in such a_rough way, I was so irightened that I did not know him.” Here Miss Margaret Craven, affection- ately given the appellation of “Birdie” by her many friends, took up the recital. *‘Mother and | then started to walk to- ward the elevator, as we had gone to the hotel to make a call on a friend, when this man who bad thrust the paper at mamma started to follow. I stepped between him and mamma, and told him if he did not desist I would send for the police. He went away and we paid our call. noticed this man and another, who was evidently a confederate in the outrageous proceeding, standing in the corridor as we entered from the street, and as we entered one man indicated to tne other that mamma was the person he wanted. I be- lieve they had been following us for some time, for they could not otherwise Have known that we were to be at the Palace Hotel at that particuiar time.” In conclusion Miss Craven ina tone of protest and indignation with the pertest imaginable look exclaimed, “I want vou to say that our address is 310 Guerrero street, that we are not going to leave town and we are not dodging any one—report- ers, recorders and servers of subpenas are always cordially welcome.’’ Mrs. Craven, after gently chiding the facetiousness of her daughter, remarked: *Yes, I can’t understand why they shoula have attempted such a course. There was no need to serve any paper on me in such a public place, and 1 denounce it as an in- sult and outrage. They know my address and cotld have just as readily have served it on me here at my home and avoided all this publicity and notoriety.” Then becoming reminiscent she told in explanation of her more than usually nervous state how a strange man had ap- proached her yesterday morning as she was waiting for a car at the corner of Fif- teenth and Valencia streets near her home, and had offered to advance her money on a percentage of the deeds, and how she had refused his offer, saying the deeds did not require any loan on the basis of a percentage of the value they represented as compensation. “Is it true, Mrs. Craven,” the reporter asked, “‘that you showed these deeds and a marriage contract with Senator Fair to Colonel Trumbo, just before you went to Sacramento to work for the teachers’ pension bill?” “Does Colonel Trumbo say that I did?" was the evasive answer. “I will only say this; ‘That any statement made by him, | 1] | placed on record. concerning myself, is true.” He always knows what he is talking about.” “In addition to the deeds just filed, the statement is made that you hold a deed to the Lick House. Isthat true?” “I cannot answer that. It would be telling tales out of school. I will say, however, that whatever I lay claim tois mine. It is perfectly ridiculous the way the Fair attorneys try to create theim- pression that they never heard of the deeds_filed 1ast Friday until they were | They knew all about them, and =o did Charley Fair. . *‘Isee by the paper that Charley is cred- ited with saying that the deeds are forzed. It was not to be expected, of course, that he would yield such valuable property without a struggle, but he had better have | a care how he talks. I have been his best | friend, and he knows it. If it had not| been forme he would have been cut off | with a penny. i “The matter is not settled yet,” and Mrs. Craven’s bright eyes flashed omin- ously. *‘He may find himself a pauper one of these fine mornings and then he will wonder how it all came about. I have borne a great many things, but I do not | propose to be pressed too far. The deeds are_genuine—Charley Fair knows it, as well as the attorneys on the other side.” Mrs. Craven says that she is watched from morning until night. Attempts have been made to bribe her servants to sllow some one in the house to spy on her move- ments at bome. Yesterday while driving two men foilowed her all the way, ana when she finally left the carriage ana boarded a downtown car one of the men followed suit. She observed the fellow and then led bim a merry chase for an hour or so. Finally she grew tired of the surveillance and invited her shadow to go out to the house with her and spend the evening. ‘The fellow threw back his head and laughed heartily,” said Mrs. Craven in describing the incident. ‘‘Seeing that his purpose was known he dropped off at the next corner.” Charles J. Heggerty, who was the mov- ing spirit in the events of Eaturday, when interviewed relative to the developments of the afternoon, said: “If those deeds are genuine, they are valid and effective from the time of their date, September 8, 1804. The income from these properties is about $6000 a montb, making an aggrepyate to date of $126.000 rentals that the grantee would be entitled to if her claim proves gooa. Tkere is nothing, however, to show that she bad collected or attempted to collect any of these rents at any time. “Fair’s books show that during his life- time, subsequent to the date of these deeds and up to the time of his death, all rents from these properties had been collected by him, and there is nothing to show that Mrs. Craven ever receiv-d a dollar of these moneys. In fact, we know that not a tenant in any of the buildings knows her. “If her deeds stick she wili have no diffi- calty in recovering ail the rents that were | punishment. | filed the pencil will as soon as we became | | aware of its existance.” collected since the date of the documents granting her the properties. *This move will enablo all the Fair Supposed to Have Belonged to the | claimants to see just what she has. Tt wili put her on record. She will either | ve to produce all the documents she has | med to have, comprising deeds to the st valuable portions of the Fair prop- v, including the Lick House, or admit that she has no further claims of auy kind inst the estate. Should she refuse tc appear or produce the documents described she will be in con- tempt of court and liable to arrest and “In my judgment the deeds will not be produc I will be very much surprised if Mrs. Craven produces them in any court or before any ge. The mannerin which they were recoried was a plan to place on record a semblance of deeds, and then to | get rid of them and so put a cloud on the | property and open the way for a compro- mise with the Fair children. “Those deeds should properly have been filed with Judge Slack, the samo as we | In the proceedings before Judge Slack Monday night it is proposed to take the deposition of Mrs. Craven in reference to all matters pertaining to her connection | with Fair and the [air estate. Attorney Heggerty holds that the sub- pena was legaily served and binds Mrs. Craven to apnear. There was a *ramor- anrrent yesterday that John G. Barker, by request of Mrs. Craven, took the Craven deed beiore Notary Public J. J. Cooney. 1t was further hinted that Senator Fair was not presen the time the deed was acknowledged, only Barker being present. Mr. Cooney said last night to a CALL re- porter: ‘I cannot remember whether Mr. Barker was present at the time I attested the deed or not. Itisso long ago that the | circumstances of the matter have passed from my memory. | “Yes, 1 rememper that I attested the | deed,” said he in reply to a question. “Was Mr. Barker present?'” “As to that Icannotsay. Iknow that | he was occupying an office to the rear of | mine at the time.”’ “Was Senator Fair attested the document “] cannot answer that question, but the presumption is strong that Senator Fair was present by the fact that I acknowl- edged the deed.” The entire matter, Mr. Cooney says, has passed from his mind, except the fact that | he attested the deed and the surety in his mind; that be hasa presumption in his | mind that Senator Fair was present at the | time; beyond this he declines to talk | about the matter. John T. Barker was seen at his residence, the Colonial, last night and expressed ex- treme surprise to hear that he wascon- nected with the matter at all. “The first | that I heard of the deed,” said he, “was | when I read of it in the morning papers. | I did occupy an ofiice near Mr. Buuney | about the time when this deed is said | to nave been attested, but I had no con- | nection whatever with it. I, in fact, never | had any dealings with Mrs. Craven. I | know absolutely nothing about it. Had I been present at the time the deed wuas ac- knowledged I would surely remember it.” A e i, WILLIAMS CAUTIOUS. ?V’reuent when you Mrs. Craven’s Attorney Confident * of His Client’s Title to the Deeded Property. OAKLAND, CAvn, June 21.—Attorney George R. Williams was scen at his resi- dence 1n Oakland last night regarding the order of Judge Slack’s, and said he would obey it or any other made by the court, but when his Honor came to getting any- thing he was likely to find it exm:melyI dry picking. ! “The Fair heirs have known of the ex- GCHENIA WAS VISITED, | ized 1n this City.

I bave no idea of the amount of revenue the property brings in monthly, but she is entitled to every bit of it from the date of | the deeds. Why has she not cotlected it? | Idon’t know anything about that; you will have to see her for her reasons.” | “1Will she appear in court Monday?”’ “I am sure I don't know. 1 do not know whether she has been served with a subpena or not. If she is ordercd to no doubt she will.”” “Do you know Mr. Williams, of the ex- istence of, or have you seen the contract of marriage that Mrs. Craven has virtually admitted existed between her and Fair?” *‘Has she admitted such a contract?’’ “leat is my understanding of the situa- tion.” “I couldn’t tell you anvthing about that.” “Will you produce the pencil deeds in court Monday ?” “Why, who has those pencil deeds? I have never said I had them.” “But you bhave them, have you not?” I can’t tell you anything about the deeds.” Aiter some further talk Mr. Williams said the papers in the case had all been copyrighted so as to prevent them from being overhauled by those who onlv had curiosity as a reason for seeing them and to keep the papers from reproducing them. BOY AND PISTOL. The Combination Results Disastrously to Another Small Lad. Lewis Ravani, a twelve-year-old lad who resides at 448 Union street, was made the victim late yesterday afternoon of a toy | pistol in the hands of a companion, whose identity is at paesent unknown. Ravani was playing baseball with a number of | boys 1n a Jot near his home, when, accord- ing to his story, a lad whom he did not know came along and without any provo- cation whatever shot him. The bullet, which is from that kind of weanon used by the small boy, a “twenty- two short,” entered Ravani’s left thigh and vuried itself in the bone. The bo; was; taken to the Receiving Hospital, where his wound was dressed, and he was conveyed to his home. An effort will be made to-day to find the ball. Owing to the insignificant size of the projectile and the lack of force with w! ic{; it was propelled no difficulty is anticipated, and the wound will not be liable to prove | serious. | Five Hundred Ladies and Gen- tlemen Enpjoy an Ideal Sunday Trip. Under the Personal Direction of J E. Locke They -Invade the Red- woods Near Guerneville. The special train to Bohemia Grove yes- terday, chartered by J. E. Locke, took one of the finest excursion parties ever organ- | ladies and gentlemen in the | party, composed mostly of gentlemen and | their wives, while conspicuous among the | number were a number of small private | parties of ladies, who were unaccompenied by gentlemen escorts. Everything ran as smoothly asa private home party, reflect- ing great credit both upon the manager of the excursion as well as on the officers of the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast Railway, over which company’s line tha] excursion was run. At Tiburon the excursionists found a | train of standard coaches, all lettered and | with seats numbered in the same manner as seats are designated at the theaters, headed by two of the company’s best engines. Each coach was in charge ofa gentleman who inspected the tickets and | saw that the excursionists secured the seats in the coaches their tickets desig- | nated, and in a remarkably short space of time the train was out ahead of the regu- lar trains, with a clear track, speeding | along to Bohemia, seventy-eight miles on the Russian_River, below | Guerneville, where the Bohemian Club annually holds 1its high jinks and where | the great redwoods rear their majestic spires skyward and the ferns grow in such prolific quantities that every one of the visitors secured great bunches of them to most pleasant outings which it was their pleastre to experience. It was a model | train, which demonstrated in a practical | manner what the raiiroad company could do when the public demand required. At Bohemia the company took posses- sion of favorable situations for lunch and basket provisions were dispatched in a manner that indicated appetites had been whetted by the delightful ride, the fresh | air and the charming surroundines. After a stay of ncnrliy five hours in the grove the train started on its homeward journey, reaching this City about 7:30 in the evening. Mr. Locke received many congratulations on his success in getting together such a select party, composed as it largely was of puysicians, law- yers and _business men and their families. In fact people marveled that it was possible to get together such alarge party for a Sunday outing that was free from disturbing elements, and there was an urgent inquiry as to when another such event would be offered. The | reserved-seat accommodations came_in | for a large share of praise and what Mr. TLocke calls his “modern excursion” was | voted a pronounced success. Manager Locke announced that he would give a number of similar events in the near future, offering similar attrac- tions, which he would not only personally conduct, but for which. tickets could only be obtained upon personal application at his office in this City, no tickets being sold at the offices of the railroad company.

Is there any- body left who questionsit? TmeCaLL has | earned the right to remodel this that has ; long been a household saying throughont California. It may properly be made to read, “THE CaLL speaks for all and to all.” ‘When big things bappen then the news- paper is put to the test. The week that closed yesterday witnessed the birth and death of the St. Louis convention—one of the most important happenings in the re- cent history of the country. Concurrent with it the Democratic State Convention was holding its sessions and declaring the principles for which the opposing party is tomake its fieht in November. At the same time the city of Santa Cruz was cele- brating its great annual carnival. Either one cof these events occurrin separately would have employed the ful: resources of the ordinary newspaper. ‘With a corps of trained newspaper men at St. Louis and another at Sacramento, an amplification of its mechanical equip- ments to meet the demand on type and presses, with the distributing forces more than doubled, the engagement of special trains north and south, Tie CALL not only | covered all the news, but it met the unex- ampled demand throughout the State which the news created. Nor while these greater things—the making of the history of the time—was being so fully recorded were the minor happenings of the day less fully reported than at any other time. The local depart- ment went about its business as serenely as though St. Louis and Sacramento had no place on the map. All the news of all of these great days was covered like a tent. Not only that, but on Friday, the day following the climax at St. Louis and the finish at Sacramento, THE CALL by special trains leaving the City long ahead of either of its competitors, and traveling at a rate of speed that left them hours behind at the terminus, carried to breakfast tables as far as Sacramento and Santa Cruz an edition that surpassed anything of the kind ever issued west of Chicago. It was a twenty eight page paper telling the story that the event of the day called up, the story of the Republican party. It is one thing to print the routine news and another fo supplement it with proper settings and distribute it to the people while it is hot. The service of THE CALL from St. Lonis has been of the most complete and read- able and comprehensive that has been furnished any paper in the country. There has been no syndicate matter among it. John Paul Cosgrave, one of the best- posted and most graceful writers in the West, was on the ground early, and with C. C. Carleton, Tue CarL’s Washington correspondent, has told the general story with touches of local coloring that gave 1t an unusual interest. The United Press has covered_itself with glory at St. Louis. It has told all there was to tell, told it well and told it quickly—three very im- portant features of newspaper service. The Western Union Telegraph wires en- abled THE CaLL to place on its big bulletin canvas on Market street the running events of the convention within three minutes of the time they happened in the conyention hall. With the advantage of two hours that San Francisco has over St. Louis the big presses in the basement of Tue CALL build- ing began to revolve before midnight every night this week with the complete story of the happenings of the day as well in the big convention as in the smaller convention at Sacramento, together with the briefer record of the day round the world. Within two hours afterward car- loads of papers were on the road to special trains in waiting and these sped away ata rate that in one instance at least broke all records of speed on Western roads. The twelve miles this side of Santa Clara were made in nine and a half minutes. During every day of the convention at Sac- ramento and every day of the carnival at Santa Cruz, Tue CALL was carried to those cities hours aheaa of every competitor and arrived in time for the earliest breakfast table. Tur CALL got the news and placed it before the people quickly. It has tri- umphed unaer the greatest test that might be placed upon it as a newspaper. But it has done more than this, too. It not only got the news, but it illustrated it. A corps of artists pictured both con- ventions. At St. Louis Joseph Kahler, the chief of the art department, told the story of the passing bit of history in black ana white. The picture of McKinley that occupied the full first page of Friday’s special edition was drawn by Kahler from life at the home of the nominee at Canton.
