FAIR WILL CASE AT ISSUE
Complainants Aver the Creation of a
Trust
Chances Are That the Case Will Be Tried
by the Court Without
Jury

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s.-The suit
brought by Charles l.. Fair to test the
validity of the trust created by the will of
the late James G. Fair. is now at issue.
Executor ". S. S.Goodfellow filed an answer
10 the complaint today. The attorneys
for the Fair children have been eagerly
expecting this answer since the executors
attorney intimated in court that there
would be no necessity for postponins the
will contest too long. When Fair filed
his suit it was surmised that its object
was to enable the children of James Z.
Fair to eavde the effect of the clause
which provided for their disinheri.ance If
they should contest tho will. The suit
was in the nature of an action to quiet
title to the Lick house property. But it
brought into question the validity of the
trust clause and the supposition was that
this case would be tried in advance of the
will contest. If he should win the first
action Charles FAIRS victory would put
an end to the controversy over the two
wills. In the Goodfellow answer, how
ever, it is contended that the court can
not pass upon the trust clause without
first ascertaining if the will is genuine
dOC.ment. should the superior court
take this view of the case it will either
proceed with the will contest or permit
the wills to be brought into question in
the suit to quiet title. 1t is thought that
the answer places the Fair heirs in an
awkward position. The plans of the heirs
are spoiled by the issues injected in to
the case at this juncture by the executors.
Charles Fair sought to break the will by
attacking the trust in an equity suit
which would be tried by judge without
a jury. If he failed.in that he intended
to contest the will unequivocally before
Jury. This answer OF the executor brings
the validity OF the will directly in question
in the equity proceedings so that its
validity will be passed upon by Judge
alone. If the case is decided in toto with
out jury it is generally believed that
the result will not be SO satisfactory to
the Fair heirs as a jury trial. in whi CHI
sympathy for the heirs would have been
n nov erful factor.

The Venezuelan rIatter

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-Minister An
drade of Venezuela returned today from
Dser Park. The status of the British
Venezuela question remains unchanged.
Recent advices received give the text Of
the officials resolution by which Vene-
zuela confirms to an American company
a vast tract of land south of the Olinoco
and near the scene OF the British conten-
ton. The resolution sets forth that this
grant was originally made to the Manoa
company of the United States, but was
subsequently transferred to the Turnbull
company. in which English interest pre-
dominated, but in view of the fact that
the Turnbull company has not proceeded
with the development of concession, the
resolution reCites that the Turnbull grant
is cancelled and all rights of the original
Manoa company are revived and renewed.
This gives the new American syndicate the
same terms under which the Manoa com.
pany operated.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s.-The United

to allot the Yuma Indian reservation.
This does not mean that the country is to
be thrown open AID that there will be
chance for the whites to scramble over
and grab arabic lands the same as there
was in Oklahoma. This time, as far as
it Is known, the whites are to be kept out
and every piece of land that is worth hav-
ing will be turned over to the Indians
thems selves. 1t is to be allotted in sew
crafty. There are 44.S acres of land
in the reservation. Those who are sup
posed to know estimate that 10000 acres
Will cover what may be called good land.
The rest is rocks. sand, stretches of brush
and desert that grows worse and worse
until it pitches off into the Salton sea.
Surveyoi-General Green is looking
every day for the return OF the surveyors
from the reservation. When their report
is made up he will forward it to Washing
ton and then the government will proceed
to make the allotments, based, of course,
upon the number of Indians on the reser.
vatiOn.
