SAN JOSE, Oct. 27.—Local heirs of the late Senator Fair will not join the Iowa heirs in reopening the contest for the mil- | lionaire’s fortune. Andrew Fair, a broth- er of the late Senator, who resides near this city and father of Edward Fair of Ireton, Iowa, who.is said to have made the announcement, said: “I cannot believe that there is any truth in the story, becanse my son was here 2 few months ago and he said at that time that he had no intention of ever seeking to reopen the contest.” Fair said there were but two ways to regard the report. One was that the whole thing was a mistake, and the other that his son had said something about the estate which had been twisted into the Btatement that a suit would be filed. r said that o far as he and his fam- were concerned there would be no t. nder the settlement with the heirs,” said Fair, “which followed the disposal of the trust clause in the will I received the legacy left me by the terms of the will. in addition to this there was a further settlement of 325,000 made upon each of the surviving brothers and sisters of the Senator. As ome of these bene- ficiaries 1 r ved that amount, and I was more than satisfied. The legacy was a substantial one, and this money was simply that much more than we had rea- son to expect.” > CLERKS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO CAMPAIGN FUNDS | Secretary Hay Issues Notice for the Guidance of State Department Employes.

THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, TU ALLEGES FRAUD [N MINING DERL Hastern Man Causes Ar- rest of Council City Claim Owner. Pays Thousands for Property That Proves to Be Bar- ren of Goid, ——— Special. Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Oct. 27.—Richard J. McArthur was ‘arrested at Council City early this month and taken to Nome, charged with obtaining money under false preténses by bail and was released from custody. A promising bench claim off No, 8 below, on Anvil Creek, was owned by R. J. Mec- Arthur, J. F. Rae, George Harmon, George T. Howard, F. E. Delezene and D. J. Elliott. It is alleged that McArthur and Rae represented that they had sunk a shaft to bedrock, where they found five feet of pay gravel running from 50 to 60 cents to the pan. Negotiations to sell the property were opgned with Cuthbert J. Gad, an ‘East- ern capitalist. Investigation of the dump showed pans running from 25 cents to $5 8, and Gad bought the property, pay- ing $25,000 down and agreeing to pay $75,000 more. Work in the shaft failed to show any pay. The complaint avers that no gold was found at the bottom of the shaft. The dump was worked up, and yielded $222, which is the full returns that Gad obtained from his investment of $25,000. The rest of the former owners of the Anvil tundral claim are not in Alaska, and, according to facts presented to the Grand Jury, McArthur and Rae are the only ones culpable.

Note His Characteristics in Writing on Poison Package. L G e b NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—The trial of Roland- B. Molineux was continued to- day. John F. Tyrrell, the Milwaukee ex- pert, who believes Molineux wrote all the disputed writings, including the address on the poison package wrapper, was re- called. District Attorfey Jerome sat with the counsel for the State, and now and then prompted Assistant District Attor- ney Osborne. Tyrrell laid particular stress upon the similarity he found in the gisputed writ- ings and in the writing known to have beén made by Molineux before there was any suspicion of him as being concerned in_the death of Mrs. Adams. Jerome ‘asked the court to- permit wit- ness to illustrate his meaning on the blackboard. “I see no occasion for it, ‘otherwise I would allow| it,” ruled the court. Jerome insisted that saved and involved points made clear if Tyrrell was permitted to use his board, and the court granted the application. At Osborne’s request the expert pro- ceeded to point out the peculiarities in handwriting about which he had testified. STUDY OF HANDWRITING. “Do xou consider the study of hgndwrit- ing an exact sciénce?” ex-Governor Black sala in the opening of his cross-examina- tion. - “In some instances, yes; in some, no.” “It is based upon the theory of prob- ability, is it not?” “Yes, I suppose so.” “Did you ever know of any other exact sclence based upon probability?” “No.” Rogers, daughter of the dead woman, was next called and told of go- ing to the theater with her mother on the night of December 27, of her mother’s headache in the morning, of her appeal to Cornishr for a draught of his bromo- seltzer, of giving the poisoned drink to Mrs. Adams and of her almost immediate collapse. To the counsel for the defense Mrs. Rogers said her relationship to Cornish is by marriage and not by blood. She sald she had known Cornish nearly al her life; that the fact of the separation from her husband, occurring a couple of months after Cornish came to New York, was only a coincidence. Mrs. Rogers de- nied absolutely that her mother ever hired a2 letter box from Daniel Callaghan, who said last week that she had, and declared that she and her mother had no secrets from each other. Mrs. Rogers sald she had a private letter box once under 2n assumed name. IDENTIFIES THE.GLASS. After recess Mrs. Rogers said her moth- er agked for the bromo-seltzer. The hold- er was of a beaded pattern and Cornish gave it to her when she told him it matched the silver on her dressing table. She identified the glass from which her mother drank tkhe fatal dose and she said she saw Cornish drink’ from the same glass. The other witnesses were A. R. Pugh of Cincinnati, who identified the Cornish- Von Mohl letter; Alfred. S. Osborne, a handwriting expert, who'said the hand that wrote the poison package address and the other disputed letters was the hand that wrote the conceded writing of the defendant Molineux; and Alfred H. Graham, paying teller in the National Bank of North America,, who testified that in his opinion the same hand.wrote all the disputed and conceded writings used as evidence in the case. There was a rumor about the courthouse after adjournment that Osborne will close the case for the prosecution before the adjournment of court to-morrow.
