SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-After
months of slSirinshing and sparring for
position among the army of attorneys
involved, order has been finally secured
in the Fair litigation, and the trial of
one of the greatest will contests in the
history of the United States is now at
hand By an order issued by Judge
Slack yesterday, the merits of the So
called pencil will, the document pro-
duced by Mrs. Nettie Craven as the last
testamentary disposition by Millionaire
j. G.. Fair of his millions of money and
property, is to be decided-at once, and
legal chickering's on the part of the law
yers will give way to n determination of
questions of fact in issue.
Fair has been dead almost two years
but it was not until today that definite
move in the complicated legal fight was
made There have been motions and
counter motions, demurrers and cross
complaints, and all the other endless
tactics for which law and lawyers are
famous. Some twenty millions are in
volved, in this. the biggest lawsuit of
California, and almost as many en-
deavors have been made to postpone the
final trial of the case.
A will has been stolen from under the
very nose of the court clerks and sec
ond will filed. A widow has arisen by
virtue of her assertion that she was
married by contract to the mining king,
to claim million and a half dollars of
his property, and has field deeds to
substantiate her claim. Charles l..
Fair has disputed Mrs Craven's claims.
His sisters, Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Vir-
ginia Fair, have maintained a neutral
position on the ground that they knew
nothing of the facts connected with this
particular phase of the case. And now
Judge Slack is going to pull the chest
nut out of the fire and see what the
meat Is.
If the so-called pencil will is genuine
that is an end to it. The estate will he
distributed according to its provisions
II the pencil will is spurious-well, there
will be more fun for the lawyers. The
trial of the pencil will has been ordered
to proceed at once by jury. There are
some minor legal technicalities to be
cleared away. and Monday next has
been, set for hearing them. Barring ac-
cident or unforeseen delays, the pencil
will contest ought to begin within ten
days. How long it will last is matter Of
doubt. The Blythe case was in court
for years, and it took thirteen months
to hear the evidence, and Senator Fair
left three times as much money as
Thomas H. Blythe.
George A. Knight thinks he can win a
case for his client, Charles l.. Fair, ana
disable Mrs. Craven and her claims in
sixty days. But others doubt Knight S
ability to settle the question SO quickly.
1t was said today that the trial of the
pencil will might consume year. There
are scores of witnesses to be heard and
back of it all is $40, 900, 900 stake.

SINGLE TAX ADVOCATES
Ralph e. hoyt of Los Angeles Speaks at San
Francisco

ETdHClSSO
AT single-tax meeting in Metropol-
itan hall, at San Francisco Monday
night. Ralph e. Hoyt of this city was the
principal speaker Mr.. Hoyt said:
"Single-taxers differ on the subject of
the currency. We do not all believe in
free coinage, but we all believe in free
land. We do not all of us believe in the
gold standard. but we do believe in alb
solute justice by which all legislation
should be governed. We do not care to
discuss the goldbug or the silverbus.
We have bug of our own We are land
bugs. We hate no one. We oppose the
landlord, not because he is a landlord,
but because of the principle he repre-
sents and practices. We feel like the
commercial traveller when he captures
the bedbug. He does not object to it as
a bug, but he objects to it's business. We
are against the land monopoly. When
we destroy it we shall do away with the
man out of work, because he won't be
out of work. No one owns the earth 1t
is natures storehouse and workshop.
1t belongs to no generation; it lends IT,
self to ALL"
The speaker then recounted the history
of the Delaware campaign in the inter
eStS of the single tax. He told how it
began year ago and how the support
ers of the principles had labored seven
days week and had demonstrated
themselves the most philanthropic, the
most charitable workers in these United
States. DR.. Lowe of this city has spent
his money there and done grand work.
Father McGlynn has paid many visits to
Wilmington and delivered some grand
addresses. Tom Sherman, the wealthy
lawyer, and Jerry Simpson, the poor
farmer congressman, have labored to-
gether. There has been one year of sin
gle tax in Delaware, followed by one
year of the old style of taxing. In the
former year Wilmington never built so
many houses and never knew suci1 pros
perity. Then the supreme court knocked
out the single tax law as unconNitu-
tional. and perhaps it was. In the year
that followed under the Old regime the
number OF improvements was two and

lowest priest we want them to know
that the catechism shall never cross the
threshold of the little schoohouse"
The speaker proceeded to quote from
Father McGlynn, Cardinal Satolli Fa-
Their Seaman of San Francisco and w.
d. McKenna of Birds Landing, Solano
county. to show that their church took
a stand adverse to the public schools
The latter, speaking on June Sd of this
year, said that religion and morality
are necessary for the safety OF the re-
public; the church insists upon children
being instructed in religion and moral
ity." Mr. Huddeson contended that
this, by implication. asserted that ire
ligion and immortality were taught in
the public schools.
1T is the only church." said he. that
is sending out circulars urging their
people not to send their children to the
public schools. One of the best things
that could happen in this country would
be If all the children of these United
States should be compelled to attend the
public schools. The A. p. A. believes
law is urgently needed in California
and we are told that we are discrlml-
mating There will be bill presented In
the legislature to the effect that no per-
son shall get certificate to teach in the
public schools who has not attended
those schools. I am willing to see this
discrimination made as strong as pos
sible i'm favor of the school system"
Throughout his address Mr. Huddel-
son was frequently interrupted by APP
plause, the audience being, apparently,
in close sympathy with the utterances
to which he gave voice.

A White Tramp Burned to Death in LOUIS

ST. JOSEPH, Aug. 5.-Some days ago
a respectable white woman employed
as domestic in prominent family on
the border of rankin Parish, was sent
across Tenas river on an errand and
failing to return in proper time, the fam
lily became alarmed and sent parties in
search of her. The sarching party, after
several hours, found the dead and hor-
ribly mutilated body of the woman in
the woods, partially concealed by brush
The most intense excitement followed
the discovery and in short time the
whole section was aroused and in the
saddle.
Suspicion pointed to a white tramp
who had been seen near there He con-
fessed that he had outraged the wo-
man and to cover up the crime had MUIR

the brutal wretch, staked him to the
nearest rree. and after Kidding his be dy
