Craven "has made her second appearance in her battle for a red, legally due the petitioner by reason the fact that she was the legal wife and is now the legal widow of James G Fair, deceased. ‘When_ the petition was presented to Judge Belcher yesterday afternoon that jurist was requested to make an order for Service on all parties interested and to set a date upon which those parties could show cause, if so they could legally do, why theprayer of thepetitioner should not Dbe granted. This Judge Belcher refused to do, stating that inasmuch as the Cra- ven-Fair contest had occupied the atten- tion of Department 10 of the Superior Court since its filing he did not feel justi- fied in making the order. In consequence the petition cannot be placed on file until the 28th inst. Judge Troutt, who presides in Department 10, will return from a visit in the country on that date and the case will be formally opened before him. W. W. Foote and Denson, Oatman & Denson, of counsel for Mrs. Craven, are unable to explain the action of Judge Belcher in re- fusing to grant the order requested. Tt was simply a formal matter, they s and Judge Belcher had no more authority, considering the absence of Judge Troutt fo refuse to issue the order than his clerk | would to refuse to file the petition if pre- | sented to him with the proper fee. The petition of Mrs. Craven for a family allowance from the estate of her alleged deceased husband is made under ce in se ons of the code providing for an allowance to a surviving widow for her upport and maintenance during the prog- ress of the settlement of the estate of her husband. > petitioner first s forth that James G.

The document is signed Nettie R. Fair, and she is referred to by that name all through. The filing of the petition for an allow- ed v Mr. Foote, is James G. Fair, dite the ttleent of Mrs. Craven's claims against the estate. When the pe- tition is heard Mrs. Craven's opponents— those interested in the. estate left by the millionaire — will doubtléss vigorously oppose the granting of the allowance. This will give the petitioner an oppor- tunity to present her proofs that she is, as she claims to be, the legal widow of the deceased by virtue of a contract marriage. This Mrs. Craven is confident she can establish, and an interesting as | well as bitter contest is expected. The lengthy legal battle waged over the so-called pencil deeds, conveying proper- | 7 to the claimant, which was decided | gainst Mrs. Craven intheSuperior Court, now under consideration by the Su- preme Court.

She sent for and came jmmediately to this city, where probability, she will remain until E conquered or all hopes of victory have vanished.

WHY ROOSEVELT WON. Gherardi Davis Gives Some Interest- ing Information Concerning the Election in New York. In an interview at the Palace last even- ing Gherardi Davis gave some interesting particulars concerning the recent elec- tion in New York State—of whose Legis- lature he is a member. “For the last few years,” he said, “the Bar Association, organized about the time of the Tweed impeachments, has taken more interest than usual in judicial nomi- nations; and this year it recommended the renomination of Judge Daly, a Demo- crat who had been on the bench for twenty-eight years. The Republicans re- nominated him, but Tammany refused to do so; and the issue was made by the Bar Association that Daly was turned down by Croker, because he would not appoint 'a Tammany man in place of an old and very efficient clerk. The com- mittee of One Hundred was almost en- tirely made up of Democratic lawyers. At a meeting they held in Carnegie Hall Bourke Cochran made a magnificent speech on this issue; and, as a result, Daly ran ahead of all the Republican nominees. & “One very unfortunate thing: We lost every Republican Congressman in New York City and Brooklyn—seven all told— and Tammany carried all its Judges. We elected a- Republican Legislature, how- ever, in both branches. And we elected our ‘entire State ticket in spite of the very large Democratic majorityin Greater New York. That means that we shall elect a Republican Senator in place of Murphy.” 3 “How about the gubernatorial contest? “Roosevelt's integrity and exce!lent char- acter were very strong factors in obtdin- | ing votes for him from all parties. In} our Assembly district he got a very large number of .independent votes from men who had- faith in him on acount of his splendid political record. His absolute honesty is never questioned; and he got every Republican vote in the State—and a good many Democratic ones besides. We certainly made a very active cam- paign all over the State and the results showed, 1 think, that the people of the State af large still have entire confidence | in the Republican party and in the pres-| ent administration.” Mril Davis is a native of California and a nephew of Bx-Congressman Horace Davis, and his visit to the coast 1 for urpose_of settling the estate Pither, George H.

Bennett completed his report on the Fort Baker scandals yesterday, and it will be placed in the possession of General Merriam to-day. The contents of the report is unknown and every avenue of information is being guarded, so it will not become public matter until the general examines it and decides upon its disposition. It is deemed useless to send any more cavalrymen to the Philippines, as they cannot be accompanied by horses and must do regular infantry service. They are useful at home as cavalrymen and can take the place of infantry companies in the work of properiy conducting and policing Government reservations for 1diers. #C0rders were issued from the department headquarters yesterday discharging from the service a number of privates and soldiers of the volunteer troop hese men will be physically examined before they are dismissed. A number of them applied for discharges and did not ac- company their respective companies to Manila. ]’;?ds ‘will be opened on the 29th of this month for work on the new general hos- pital to be erected at the Presidio. Work Is rapidiy progressing on the barracks Which are being built for the New York regiment and_the battalion of engineers now stationed across the Pacific. The disappearing carriage for the large 12- inch rifle at the Presidio will be in place in about a month.

MARY SCHUTTER'S WOES JUMPED IN THE BAY, BUT WAS RESCUED. Deserted by Her Husband, She Made a Determined Attempt to End Her Exist- ence. Penniless and hungry,” Mary Schutter. a middle-aged woman, late yesterday afternoon attempted to end her exist- ence by jumping in the bay at the foot of Buchanan street. She was rescued In the boat at the time was a real estate dealer named Ker- win, who, after listening to her sad story, gave her $2 50. He also gave the unfortunate woman his business ad- dress and told her to call upon him whenever she lacked sufficient money to get something to eat. Kerwin telephoned for the Receiving Hospital ambulance and the woman was removed to the hospital. To the matron theunfortunate woman said she was tired of living and wanted to die. 2 “] wase married some time ago,” she tearfully remarked, “and as my hus- band did not treat me properly 1 deter- mined to leave him. After consider- able trouble I procured work as a do- mestic, but being sick and despondent I resolved to commit suicide. About 2 month ago I jumped in the bay off Howard-street wharf, but was rescued by a policeman, who had been watch- ing me for some time, evidently divin- ing my intention. “About 8 o'clock yesterday morning I went to the foot of Buchanan street, determined that the second attempt at suicide would not be a failure. There were a number of people present, and rather than take a chance on making the second failure I sat down, anxiously waiting an opportunity to jump in the bay. I had not eaten anything since the night previous and was almost famished. After awaiting my chance all day the opportunity arrived shortly after 5 o’clock. As soon as the visitors disappeared I threw off my hat and coat and jumped into the water. “Just as I was losing consciousness I felt somebody grab me by the hair and realized I was being dragged into a boat. In a short time I recovered consciousness, and was surprised to find myself lying on the sandy shore with two men standing over me fran- tically endeavoring to revive me. “The real estate dealer, after I told him I was hungry, gave me $2 50, after kindly offering to do all in his power to assist me in procuring amployment. The water was so cold that I do not think I will again attempt to commit suicide in that way.” Several charitably inclined persons interested themselves in the woman’s behalf and will endeavor to procure employment fcr her. —_————————— This Week’s Wasp.
