dent. The nature of her evidence would
tend to show that she has a few facts up
her sleeve that will knock the props fxcm
beneath the Sylva-Simpton statements.
She claims to be able to show that she
had not visited Sausallto unless accompa
nied by some of her attorneys or their
representatives, who never left her side,
and that as a consequence she could not
have entered into the conspiracy with
Sylva and Simpton without the knowledge
of her counsel. They protest with em
phasis that their client had no occasion
to buy either the Sausalito attorney or the
Marin County Justice of the Peace.
A so called "fishing expedition" by thfl
Craven-Fair forces to locate the account
books and diaries of the dead Senator
failed, but the attorneys still eritertnin
hopes of getting a bite on their hooks.
The Fair aggregation of legal talent, with
out admitting the books existed, contend
ed that Mrs. Craven-Fair wanted them to
fix dates that would dovetail with her
story of the marriage contract and subse
quent developments In her alleged matri
monial alliance with Fair.
Lafe Pence of her counsel denied this
flatly, and as evidence of good faith aske.i
that the documents be sealed and left In
the hands of the court until Mrs. Craven-
Fair had completed her testimony. The
opposition would not entertain the propo
sition, preferring that Pence should pro
ceed with his "fishing.'.'
Asserts That He Has :
Referred Them to;;
the District Attorney,
Who Will Call Them
to the Attention of
the Grand Jury.
Dead Senator's Silken
Nightgown the Only
Sensation Devel
oped Yesterday Dur
ing the Progress of
the Celebrated Trial.
During the. progress of the case yester
day Lafe Pence for Mrs. Craven-Fair and
Garret McEnerney and William A. Pier
son, representing the Fair Interests, were
the principals In most of the Jawbone ex
ercise. Attorney Knight was in evidence
at the start, but as. soon as the Simpton
part of the play was disposed of he left
the courtroom. ¦ •
Mrs. Craven-Fair was accompanied by
her daughter and a mutual .friend, Mrs.
Hilbert. The latter was an Interesting
figure In the courtroom during the morn
ing' session. Rumors were rife that she
was another •of the Important witnesses
to be introduced into" the case; but Mrs.
Craven-Fair asserts that she is only a
friend whose husband handles that par
ticular branch of beer manufactured by
Son-in-law Koehler. . ".'
As soon as the Fair case was called At
torney Lafe Pence, in a tone that gave an
Indication that he was about to call the
court's attention to the sensational Inci
dents of the past week, said that certain
things had. transpired during the adjourn
ment that he deemed it his duty to call
to the court's attention.
Judge Troutt knew all about -It, and he
said so. His Honor stated that he had
read the newspapers, and basing his ac
tion upon the information gleaned from
their columns he had conferred with the
District Attorney.
"With the powers he has," said the
Judge, "he will be able to speedily In
vestigate all of these matters, and I pre
fer to avoid a discussion of them. now."
Pence replied that there had been some
talk of a special session of the Grand
Jury to take up the charges and counter
charges which have become a feature of
the case.
"Pending that, however," said Pence,
"I would suggest that this court reach
out the strong arm of the law for the
guilty, as some court will have to do some
day. It should reach even across the bay,
as it will have to point in the same direc
tion when it gets through with the crim
inals in this case."
Mr. Knight made himself heard at this
point, and In his most dramatic attitude
strove to set his side of the controversy
right. .
"What is before the court that Is so
serious?" he Inquired. "Has any one
charged perjury here? Is there any testi
mony before this court that perjury has
been committed? Mr. Pence will not be
allowed to create the impression 'that he
and his client are taking the initiative in
this matter. Why has not the District
Attorney called both sides Into consulta
tion In this affair?
"I contend that there Is nothing to In
vestigate. No perjury has been commit
ted; even a Justice of the Peace lawyer
should know that much. Let them bring
on their charges. We are ready to meet
them." ~ < -
To ¦ this Mr. Pence retorted: "If the
other side does not think that swearlnjr to
an affidavit one way one day and another
way the day after is not perjury I give
them the advice I did before— go hire a
lawyer."
And there the Simpton matter ended,
without once mentioning by name the
principals in the Sausalito conspiracy.
Mr. Pence then attempted to get the
court to order the stenographer to fur
nish him with copies of the testimony at
the expense of the estate. McEnerney
objected, on the ground that it might be
construed as an acknowledgment that
Mrs. Craven-Fair had some legal claim
against the estate, which contention was
sustained by Judge Troutt.
"Well, then, we'll call Attorney Plerson
to see if we can get those memorandum
books we are after," said Pence.
Plerson, while not admitting that he
had any such books, took refuge behind
Dr. .Parker's Couth.Cun. One done will stop

WHEELS OF JUSTICE
ARE BADLY CLOGGED
Lack of Stenographers Causes Delay
in Criminal Trials and Attor-
neys Are Complaining.
The practice of trying all misdemeanor
cases In | two pf the four Police Courts
and felony cases In the other two courts
is not working well. It was started oe
cause of a lack of stenographers, but the
Police Judges say it Is worse than before.
There are so many felony cases In Judge
Mogan's court that it will be a consid
erable time before they are all reachoi,
and as a result the attorneys of defend
ants are protesting against their clients
being kept in prison an unnecessarily long
time. Some of them threatened yesterday
to apply for writs of habeas corpus In the
Superior courts.
In the case of L. R. Hare, charged with

It will take ten days at least to examine

to urge on behalf of the bar that another

This proposed ordinance was referred to
the license committee and without delay
will take the customary course of legis
lation through the board. On Monday
next Supervisor McCarthy will introduce
his order providing for an amendment to
the charter- by which the telephone mo
nopoly will be forced to submit to super
visorial regulation and restriction. This
will strike at the very root of the evil;
and it goes without saying that it will re
ceive popular as well as official approval.
Lawyers thoroughly Informed In consti
tutional law are preparing the proposed
order, and the City Attorney will be asked
to. give his opinion upon, points in which
there may be the slightest question. It
seems probable now that fifteen per cent
of the electors who voted at the last
municipal election must sign a petition' if
a special election is to be held. As " the
matter is of such vital importance, it is
very likely that prominent citizens will

CITY'S FINANCIAL WOE.
Supervisors Still Struggle With
Perplexing Questions.
The recommendation of the Finance
Committee to shut off the lights of the
city from March 1 to July 1 met with such
a storm of opposition from citizens gen
erally at yesterday'B meeting of the Board
of Supervisors that it was decided to post
pone consideration until the next meet
ing. Many protests had been received
from Improvement clubs aryl private cltl
aens against placing the city in darkness
for four months, and . the board was ad
dressed by A. S. Llllle, president of the
Mission Federated Clubs, who acte-.l as
spokesman for all the protestants. Mr.
Lillie thought that it would be a poor
measure of economy to save $80,000 by
turning off the lights which would cause
a much greater loss to property owners
by driving people away from the city.
"It is a sad commentary on a munici
pality," said Mr. Lillie, "that is about to
issue $11,000,000 in bonds and yet is unable
to keep its streets lighted. There are
other means to meet the deficiency if
the Finance Committee will only look for
them. The Board of Health and other
departments should be inquired into for
raising salaries and creating positions,
and the St. Mary's Park fund might be
utilized."
"Suppose the Finance. Committee." sai<]
Reed, "has found it impossible to find
a- way- out of the difficulty?" ¦
"Well," said Llllle, "we ye elected you
gentlemen and I suppose we've got to
stand the ; consequences." which remark
met with a general laugh. •
Supervisor Tobln stated that very little
could be gained by scaling down salaries,
as they were . provided for In most cases
by the. charter. He .was of .the. opinion
that It was absolutely necessary to shut
THE Supervisors are fixed in their
determination to force the local
telephone monopoly down to the
same equality before the law as
other quasi public corporations of
this city occupy. The telephone people
are now absolutely above the law. Time
after time efforts have vainly been made
to compel them to act^ln Justice toward
their patrons. The charter makers were
deceived and cheated out of a provision
that an overwhelming majority would
have ' adopted. Every ! attempt at local
legislation has met with failure because
of inaccuracies, ambiguities or illegali
ties, but the new board is not discouraged
and with Supervisor McCarthy taking
the Initiative will try again. The first
step was taken yesterday in the Introduc
tion of a new. ordinance and another and
tar more . important one will mark the
proceedings of the board next Monday.
It will be remembered that the Board
Gaopted an ordinance providing for the
licensing of nickel-in-the-slot telephones.
The measure was presented to Mayor
Phelan and has been returned by him as
inadequate and in various respects ille
gral. The Mayor decides that he cannot
approve the ordinance, as It was ambig
uous In several- respects and was ob
viously illegal in discriminating against
certain classes. The Mayor returned it
therefore without his signature, but with
the recommendation that another ordi
nance, meeting the objections and con
forming to the law, be adopted by the
board. ,'¦
The necessity for immediate action in
thie matter Is universally recognized. The
telephone company has made its monop
oly the vehicle for enormous profits. So
secure has the corporation felt its posi
tion to be that it has acted toward the
public with unexampled arrogance and
insolence. It has forced people in thou
sands of Instances to pay for what they
«lld not receive and no endeavor, threat
or entreaty has succeeded in making the
company change or modify its policy.
The immediate need of doing something
therefore has been felt on all sides. So
when Mayor Phelan presented his veto
and his recommendation yesterday Su
pervisor McCarthy was ready with an
other ordinance which it is expected will
meet all objections and prove adequate
as the remedy for the nickel-in-the-slot
telephone evil. The new proposed ordi
nance is modeled very closely upon one
which is now in successful operation In
the city of Ogden. The Dgden ordinance
¦was attacked as vigorously as have been
the proposed ones for this city. The tele
phone people of Ogden fought the legis
lation, and after *>eing defeated carried
the matter into the courts, winning a
victory in the trial court.
The authorities of Ogden were not dis
couraged, however, and carried the fight
to the appellate court of Utah. This
tribunal Bustalned the ordinance which is
now In operation in the town of Ogden.
The ordinance which Supervisor Mc-
Carthy presented yesterday Is modeled
upon that of. Ogden, but adapted to the
local restrictions of the charter. It is as
follows:
Requiring a licence to be paid for operating
and maintaining telephone in the city and
county of Ban Francisco.
Be It ordered by the people of the city and
county of San Francisco a* follows:
Section L It shall be unlawful for any per

taining a license for each i<*lephoa». Instru
ment co operated and maintained.

off the lights to help meet the deficiency.
He suggested that the City Attorney bo
requested for his opinion as to whether
salaries for June could be carried over
under the charter until the next fiscal
year, thus creating an artificial surplus
of J150.000. If a favorable decision la ren
dered the alleged necessity of throwing
the streets In darkness may be avoided.
The appropriation of $35,000 allowed by
the board to the Board of Health until
June 30 is evidently in danger of being r<=
duced, for when the resolutions on that
point came up for final passage Reed
moved that It be cut to $20,000. Tobin
amended by postponing consideration until
the next meeting, when it Is expected the
financial tangle may be unraveled.
The opening of bids for official advertis
ing was also laid over until the opinion
of the City Attorney may be obtained re
garding the validity of the specifications
inviting proposals that the newspaper bid
ding must bear the label of the Allied
Printing Trades Council.
It was resolved to suspend temporarily
the payment of all bills incurred by the
: city during the preceding regime until
such time as a means may be afforded
to pay creditors; and, further, that all
moneys now In the general fund and avail
able for this purpose, be used for the pay
ment of any Indebtedness incurred by this
administration during the balance of this
fiscal year.
The city undertaker was directedito fur
nish, the board with a monthly statement,
giving the name and date of death of all
persons buried by him as indigents, and
also of all persons whose bodies are de
livered by him to medical colleges and
institutions where the remains of indigent
dead are used for scientific investigations.
The demands of Janitors for October
and December, 1899, aggregating $1514 &5,
were ordered approved, subject to a uni
form reduction to meet the money on
hand available to liquidate them, amount
ing to $1235.
An ordinance consenting to the aban
donment by the San Francisco and "San
Mateo Electric Railway Company of a
portion of its franchise on Steuart street
was re-referred to the street committee
to insert a clause requiring the company
to tear up the tracks and put the street in
its original condition.
The Board of Public Works was re
quested to examine into and report upon
the petition of the Hospital Lot-Park Im
provement Club, requesting the clearing
away of rubbish and the planting' with
trees and grass of a lot bounded by Wal
ler. Ridley, Steiner and Scott streets.
The City Attorney was requested to
render an opinion as to the validity of
the order requiring property owners to
place at all street crossings signs bearing
the names of cross streets.'
The request of South San Francisco.lm
provement Club for a slxteen-room brick
Bchoolhouse In that district was referred
to the Board of Education for examina
tion.
The superintendents of the Whittier Re
form School, Boys and Girls' Aid Society,
Preston School of Industry and Magda
len Asylum were requested to file with
each demand on the treasury for the care
of inmates, such Information as will al

ness of the demands; also to Inform the
board when the city will be relieved from
maintaining the Inmates.
. -The bill authorizing the Auditor to em
ploy four extra clerks at $100 per month
to h«^d at the pleasure of the board was
laid over for one week. Reed objected to
assuming any new obligations in the face
of the;citv's financial troubles, and It de
veloped that the clerks are already em
ployed.
The ordinance fixing the wages of la
borers in the street department at $2 50
per day for eight hours was passed to
print.
The street committee recommended that
Gray Brothers abate all nuisances com
plained of in connection with their blast
ing and rock crushing, within ninety
days, or its permit be revoked; also that
the tracks of the Southern • Pacific : Com
pany in the Mission district be declared a
public nuisance and abated. /

railway on Steuart street from the south line
of Market to the. north line of Howard.
The application of the I}ay and Coast Rail

FELL DEAD ON THE
STEPS OF A CHURCH
Miss Mary Ford Expires on Her Way
Home After a Visit to the
Confessional.
Miss Mary J. Ford, who conducted a
variety store at 2572 Market street, died
of heart disease on the steps of St. Igna-
tlus Church yesterday afternoon. The
woman, who was very pious, had just
been to confession and was passing out
of the church on her way to her home
when death overtook her.
Miss Ford has been under the treatment
of Dr. C. C. Mohun for some time. Her
ailment was heart disease, aad she wus
about to have an operation performed.
Yesterday she went to confession, and
after saying a few prayers in the church
passed out of the door. She was about
half-way down the long flight of stone
stairs when she was seen to topple over
and fall. "When help was at the side of
the unfortunate woman she was dead.
Miss Ford was 44 years of age and haa
relatives in this city.
THE most interesting testimony
brought out yesterday at the re
sumption of the hearing before
Judge Troutt of Mrs. Craven-Fair's
petition for a family allowance
from the Fair estate was the state
ment by the petitioner that the late Sen
ator Fair owned a silk nightshirt. The
airing of the dead millionaire's silken
"niphtie" on Judge Troutt's clothesline
created quite a stir among the crowd that
occupied every bit of standing room in
the court.
Contrary to expectations, the promised
tilt between the opposing attorneys over
the Simpton affair did not occur. There
might have been something exciting in
connection with it had not the Judge shut
off the attorneys' wind by announcing
that he had assisted in passing the mat
ter up to District Attorney Byington and

were given him by the executors as their
attorney and were consequently confi
dential communications in the eyes of the
law. Judge Troutt agreed with him, ana
held that the petitioner must first lay a
foundation for the line of questioning by
the testimony of one of the executors.
W. S Goodfellow was sworn, but knew
absolutely nothing about the books In
question. The other executors are be
yond the Jurisdiction of the court, and
until they are located Mr. Pence will
cease to "fish."
Mrs. Craven-Fair was then called and
occupied the attention of the court and
the attorneys during the remainder of
the session. Her demeanor was extreme
ly cool. She was deliberate in all her
testimony, took care that she thoroughly
understood overy question asked her and
was extremely particular as to detail.
Her cross-examination was conducted by
Attorney Pierson. He questioned her as
to her different abodes and trips about
the country from 1893 up to the beginning
of 1900. Then he went back further and
delved Into the alleged billing and cooing
between her and Senator Fair.
Slight reference was made to the mar
riage contract, but there was a searching
examination of the events that immedi
ately followed the consummation of the
alleged matrimonial alliance.
It was during this line of examination
that Attorney Pierson asked if the Sen
ator kept his wardrobe at the Craven
residence. 523 Sutter street.
"Only a silk night robe." was the reply,
and an audible titter arose from the
lobby. '• •."¦•
Pence objected to inquiring Into the
places and persons Mrs. Craven-Fair had
visited, claiming it would disclose. the
names and residences of some of her wit
nesses. The court overruled the objec
tion.
Referring to her career as a pedagogue
Plerson asked Mrs. Craven-Fair If It was
not a fact that she started as a second
grade teacher. • .--¦>'
"Oh. no," was the quick reply; "I was
a first-class teacher of a second grade.
She repeated the old story of how Fair
had taken her one evening to the home of
a minister to get married, and when they
reached the front door she happened to
think that he had no license She ran
away like a coy little girl, going down

John Lerman, clerk for W. W. Foote,
and the last was in company with Charles
