THE FAIR ESTATE
While Il Lasts the Lawyers Will Live
High

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-The at
torneys in the Fair case assembled in
Judge Slack's court this afternoon. Their
presence was the result of a motion by
D. M. Delmas to take the deposition of
Charles Wheeler. one of the attorneys
for the Fair children. 1t appears that
Wheeler verified the complaint in in
tervention filed yesterday on behalf OF
Virginia Fair. The object of the filing
of that complaint was to raise questions
of equity to be determined by the court
without the aid of jury. 1t is charged
in the complaint that the Craven deeds
are forgeries. and that they were pro-
duced in pursuance of conspiracy to
defraud the Fair estate. 1t was sworn
to upon information and belief by
Wheeler in the absence of his client, and
Delmas expressed a desire to take
Wheeler's deposition with view of as
certaining whether he would repeat un-
der oath what was alleged in the COM
plant. Wheeler objected to having his
deposition taken. Counsel then pro-
ceeded to argue the question as to
whether the deposition could be taken.
The attorneys for Senator Fairs chill
dren are intent upon taking part in the
suit that has been set for trial next week
in Judge Slack's court. The suit is that
of the executors of the Fair will against
Mrs. Nettie Craven to quiet title to the
property at Pine and Sansome streets
The Fair children were not parties to it
until yesterday when Virginia Fair in
terevened by filing a complaint charging
that the Craven deeds are forgeries. The
object of this, the latest move in the
case. is to prevent If possible jury trial.
The attorneys opposed to the Craven in
terests are fearful of jury trial. They
much prefer to have the court determine
the case, but the executors and Mrs.
Craven's attorneys stipulated some time
ago to a jury trial. Now that Virginia
Fairs complaint has been filed, raising
new issues the defendant must answer,
and the questions involved must be de-
termined by the court.

A CROOKED OFFICIAL
Scdthing Rebuke to Be Followed by
Dismissal

Dismissal
WASHINGTON, March 13.-A SEN
sational order repudiating the acts Of
the general land Office in the Chicago
lake front case, which will probably be
followed Immediately by the peremptory
dismissal of Silas w. Lamoreaux, COM
missioner of the general land office. was
signed by Secretary of the Interior
Bliss today. The order directs that all
proceedings subsequent to the fling of
application to locate Mckee scrip on the
lake front be recinded and annulled,
and orders a new trial before a new
commission. not yet appointed, within
thirty days after notice to all parties.
The action is based on a purported
opinion given by Lamoreaux to one of
the parties in interest three days before
the time appointed by himself for a
formal announcement of the decision
and notice to other interested parties.
The land on which 1t was proposed to
locate claims by means of this scrip is

valuable, estimates of its worth ranging
from $15,000,0O0 to $4,000. 000
The decision formulated and promul-
gated by Commissioner Lamoreaux.
which resulted in today's scatching re-
buke, 1t is said at the department is di-
rectly contrary to decision rendered by
him in August last. involving the same
lands and identical except as to parties
with the present case. This decisions was
rendered on application by Martin w.
Cooney and others to locate Mckee
scrip on identically the same ground and
under the same circumsta stances, it Is said,
as the present case. The application Of
Cooney ct al. was rejected, while the
application of Harvey M. Lafollette and
Mattheas Benner was allowed by Com
missioner Lamoreaux in the decision re-
pudiated by Secretary Bliss today
Judge Lamoreaux was taken Ill a
week or more before the change of ad-
ministration, the statement being made
that he was in critical condition from
nervous exhaustion, and before his de-
parture he rendered his resignation to
the president. In view Of today's de-
velopments, it may be that he will be
dismissed.
Inc department tOudy iuduG the lOl-
lowing official statement on the Chicago
lake front matter:
"On the 25th of February Secretary
Francis directed that judgment in the
case be suspended until the further or
der of this department. This order has
been published. The secretary was
tts-eafter informed that no decision had
been rendered; none was found In the
proper office of the land; none appears
in the letter press, where all decisions
are required to be copied prior to pro-
mitigation.
I'm response to telegram from the as
sistant attorney asking Com
missioner Lamoreaux II he had given
out copy of his opinion in the lake
front case? II SO, when and to whom
Mr.. Lamoreaux replied: on the Goth /
signed an opinion and had a number
of copies made the same day to be given
to the press on the 23d, which d6te had
announced that the decision would be
promulgated. One Of the copies Of the
The herald., 1897-03-14

Goth gave to party with permission
for him to use ii after the decision should
be- promulgated, but I'M no case to be
used until promulgated. This was done
on the Goth. On the 22d the secretary
suspended promulgation.'
Although 1t does not appear to whom
the copy was given, yet as Mr.. Lamor-
eaux did not disclose the name Of the
person, although requested to do so,
and reported merely that he gave 1t to
a party, 1t is to be presumed that such
party was not without interest in the
controversy. Moreover. before this de-
partment was advised that any decision
had been signed, counsel for the scrip
holders had requested that such an
opinion ahould be promulgated. Know
ing of the opinion is, therefore, traceable
to them.
"The improperly Of giving out copy
of an unrendered, unpromulgated de-
cislon to one of the parties in the contro-
versy, in advance of its formal an
rouncement, is too obvious to require
comment. Mr.. Lamoreaux states that he
gave copy to a party three days in ad-
vance Of the time appointed by him for
its PRONUNCIATION In the usual and proper
way. Neither faith nor credit can at
tach to an opinion under such circum-
starces.
"Since It was never properly filed. 1t
was deemed best to disregard II and di-
rect a new trial; this was DONE"
TOO SICK TO TALK.
HORIZON, Wis. March 1S.-Commis-
sfoner Lamoreaux was in no mood to be
interviewed when visited by an Asso-
ciated Press representative today and
declined to talk about the Chicago lake
front matter. except to state that he
knew nothing about the decision. and
that the land Office was the only place
to get any news about these matters.
Mr.. Lamoreaux was propped up with
pillows and appeared to be sick man.
During the past few days he has been
very i'll, but the doctor hoped for his re-
covery in a short time.

FREEZING FISHERMEN

ElOeS

BAY CITY. Mich, March 13.-Two
immense ice foes, on which number of
fishermen were carried out into the bay
yesterday. are rapidly breaking up, and
If any men remain on the ice their
chances of rescue are small. OF fifty or
more fishermen from this city, less than
dozen have returned, and their fam
lilies are frantic. Fishermen of Essex
vile who went out on the big foe have
ben struggling home all the morning,
most of them half frozen. OF thirty from

lake, was Joseph Leppeck of Essexvilie.
Only few of the West Bay City fish
ermen have returned. 1t is believed the
others are still on the ice.
