Public Officials Complimented on Their Recognition of the Needs of the Community. The residents of Sunset district are jubi lant. The Board of Supervisors recently passed an order appropriating $11,000 for | the grading preparatory to paving and sewering the streets embraced within the district bounded by H and D streets and Seventh and Twentieth avenues. As a demonstration of their apprecia- tion, the Sunset District Improvement Club, assisted by the ladies of the district, last evening tendered a reception at Park View Hall to the Mayor and Board of Supervisors and other officials who had assisted them in obtaining the much-de- sired improvegent. A number of the Supervisors were present, and the Mayor and other members of the board sent written expressions of regret at their in- ability to attend. An excellent literary and musical pro- gramme was rendered, & feature of which was the recitation by Miss her Morris of an original poem, “‘Sunset District, {iss Ewald. The committee of we nsisting of fifteen young ladies, dered a song entitled “Give Us Light in Sunset District,” in which the need of electric-lights in the vicinity was poeti cally set forth. Mrs. Emma Harrington, chairman of the reception committee, delivered a b addr in which she thanked the offici for their z curing recognition for the needs e di t. ]‘JH(H)“ suc- ceeded the programme. ‘he improvement club under whose auspices the affair was held is one of the most energetic and active in the com- munity.

Mrs. Craven’s partial story of the two | wills id to have been written in he: home at 2007 California street, on Septem- ber 24, 1894, by Senator Fair—one in pencil and one in ink—has whetted curiosity to know what eventually became of the ink will, which has gone mysteriously out of sight. The mystery is in part cleared away by one who is familiar with the details of Mrs. Craven’s journey to and from New York, and who relatea them yesterday to a CALL reporter. Mrs. Craven New arted for ork on | February 25, 1895, to get the will of Sep- tember 24, 1894, which, with other docu- ments concerning her relations with the dead millionaire, she had sent to her daughter Margaret, who was then on the stage in New Yo 11 these documents were in one package, and no one, outside at the time she left here that there were duplicate wills—on She traveled st under the name of Mrs. J. 8. Cameron p: rrl\'uJ at New Yo id low a grippe. Me nwhile Reuben H. Lloyd, was carrying on the negotiations with Stephen Roberts for possession of the will, was on tenter hooks. Judge Slack had set the hearing for the probating of ember 21, 1894, known as the trust will, March 18, 1895, and had decla; that no further continuance would be conceded. It was therefore of the utmost importance to have the holo- graphic will in court on that day, in oraer to have proper grounds fora contest to the trust wiil. At Mr. Lloyd’s anxious solicita- tion Roberts sent urgent telegrams to Mrs. Craven to bring or send on the will. Against the orders of her Mrs, Craven got up from her sic prepared to m. the westward journ But she feared she would not be able t through on time, so she arranged with friend in New York named Mulholland to have a friend of Mulholland’s, named Tichner, meet her at Chicago and take the will on to San Franci n case she was unable to proceed. The Chicago man was to recognize her by a handkerchief she was to display on her hosom. She as. sumed the name of Mrs. Knox on her westward trip. She forgot the prearranged hner found her and asked her as Mrs. Kno On receiving an rmative reply, he announced he was holland’s friend and asked her pleas. who She intrusted the ink will to him, and together they continued toward San Fran- cisco, she being continually her stateroom. She saw Tichner at_inter- v during the journ but for the last time at Reno. Since then neither she nor her attorneys nor Mr. Roberts have seen the ink will or Mr. Tichner. When Mrs. Craven arrived here and found that the ink will was missing she | produced . the pencil document, and this was the ftirst knowledge ber counsel or others had that there were duplicates of the testament of September 24, 1894, in ex- istence. ow comes & most teresting theory | advanced by the Craven side. They say | [ they have no doubt that in some way the Fair people learned of the transfer of the will to be made at Chicago and arranged to get possession of the will by having a | detective assume the part of Mulholland’ | friend. The proauction of the pencil will, | however, cbviated the necessity of using | the 1k document, so that paper was never | brought to light, th ert. They say further that the Le\\ aordinary course pursued by the Fair | heirs to secure possession of the ink will was that they feared Mrs. Craven weould ask an extravagant price before she would | consent to produce it. Had there been no peneil original the ink will, th say, would have been produced by the other side and its peculiar procurstion treated |as a good joke. As things turned out, however, there was no need, it is claimed, for the Fair side to show their hand in the matter at all. | Such is the son for the history of the duplicate wills, Mrs. Craven’s notable trip to New York and back and of the mysterious dis- | appearance of the ink will. Ll SOME LEGAL PHASE The Status of T}‘lhgs Should Mrs. Craven Prove Her Claim to Be Fair’s Widow. Speculation was rife yesterday as to the exact status of Mrs. Craven and the wills and deeds in relation to the Fair estate should marriage be proved between Mrs. Craven and the late Senator Fair. Many believed that as the widow of the deceased millionaire Mrs. Craven would be entitled to one-third of the estate, in view of the fact that she was not men- tioned in any of the wills of Fair. One of her own counsel is authority for the state- ment, however, that she can claim noth- ing from the estate, as it is all composed of separate property, and Fair had the un questioned right to dispose of it by will as ne saw fit. It was further stated that the gift deeds, though made in favor of Mrs. Craven, car. ried title to that lady even though her real name might be Mrs. Fair. The law simply takes gnizance of the intent of the if Mrs. Fair can prove her y Craven, her tit property conveyed to Mrs. Craven will be unquestioned. One important legal complication ma however, arise in connection with the secrecy maintained relative to the alleged marriage. If Senator Fair conveyed any real estate since the date of the marriage contract and proved genuine, the grantee may find ome difficulty in passing title without securing the a‘ure of Mrs. Fair to the deeds of conveyance. Her signature is not absolutely necessary to such deeds, but the wife’s signature is generally required, even when separate property i ed, in order to prevent any po of the claim bei that the property was a gift, as the hus. band has no right to make a gift of prop erty though it beseparate without the con- sent of his wife. Senator Fa it is stated, desired lo Mr en in the will ptember he objected. In order, however, to provide for her after his death it is claimed he deeded ber the Sansome street and the Mission street propertie: It has been reported that Mrs. Craven has deeds on other 1 estate now - ventoried as part of the Fair estate, but this is denied by one of her attorneys.
