One Of the Attorneys for
the Fair Heirs Takes
the Witness-Stand.
He Disputes the Interpretation
of the Interviews With
Mrs. Craven.
Spends the Whole Day on the Stand
Relating Story That Has Been
Often Heard Before.

ATTORNEY Charles S. Wheeler, who rep
resents one of the Fair heirs as an inter
venor in the Fair-Craven litigation,
occupied the witness-stand throughout
yesterdays session of the great trial.
He told nothing new-that is, nothing
new that could be expected from the hos
tile side. He was called for the purpose
of giving his version of the interviews he
had with Mrs. Craven during those months
in the years OF 1895 and 1896, when the
lawyers who are now fighting the So
called "penciP' will of the late James 6.
Fair were so enthusiastic over that docu-
ment and were so anxious to have it pro-
bated.
Wheeler said that Mrs. Craven told him
that Senator Fair gave her two wills, one
in ink and the other written with lead
pencil. Both were Identical.
II asked Mrs. Craven TO tell me what
she had done with the documents after
Senator Fair had written them" said he,
land she told me that after the two copies
had been revised and found to be alike
she put them in book and laid them
away. They were, she sald, subsequently
removed TO a trunk. | asked her when
she next saw the pencil or pen wills and
she said that after Senator Fairs death a
will was fled and she naturally thought
that it was his last will. 1t was not, how
ever, until she examined the documents
she bad that she found that they were OF
a later date. She examined them, she
SAID, in the presence of Mrs. Elizabeth
Haskins. That lady advised her TO burn
them"
Wheeler declared that Mrs. Craven
never told him anything about SeDator
Fair having given her any deeds to his
property. All she told him, he said, was
that she was sure that the Senator had
provided for her and that some deeds
would be found either in the Senator'S Of
fee or in the possession of Attorney Good
fellow.
when did you next see Mrs Craven?"
was asked.
After the fling of the pencil will I
went to MEs. Haskins' house with Mr..
Lloyd and saw her. l told her that l &C.
cepted her statements as made in good
faith, but that it was only fair to have the
matter thoroughly investigated. asked
her for more particulars, and especially
with regard to the execution of the will
on Septem Der "a 1894, for l told her that
Senator Fair was IN San Rafael on that
day. She said she was positive that the
date was correct, and that she could
prove it by a memorandum she had made
in one of the books"
1t was the old story over again. The
only point on which Wheeler's version
differed from that of Mrs. Craven was in
reference to the deeds, he claiming that
she never spoke of them to him. He also
denied that Mrs. Craven told him that Fair
took the deeds out of his pocket and
handed them 20 her with the remark that
he had provided for her in ''another
way" All she ever told him in that re-
gard, he said, was that the Senator made
the remark that he could" provide for
her in another way"

POLICE AFTER SNUGGERS KAMEHAMEHA DAY RACES.
JOCKEY CLUB ARRANGES FOR
TWO DAYS GOOD SPORT.
William G.. Irwin VIII Probably Offer
Cup to Be Competed for on the
Eleventh--The Irwin unp.

There will be races on Kamehameha
decision was reached at a meeting of
the Jockey Club on Saturday after
noon. At meeting of the executive
committee yesterday a program for
the two days races was agreed upon
and now everything will be pushed to
make the meet Il success. .
The arrival of w. II. Cornwell,- of
Maui, in the city had the effect of
arousing considerable spirit among
the members of the Jockey Club who
feared such an undertaking as even a
meet lasting one day. But Mr.. Corn
well greatly encouraged the members
when he promised to assist them in
every way possible.
There is no question but what a
general lack of interest among horse
men has been occasioned by reason of
there being no cup to compete for.
Col Spaulding, of Kauai. won the Ka-
mehameha cup last year and he has
failed to provide new cup for the
club.
Wm. G. Irwin Will how be waited
upon by a committee and requested
put up cup to be known as "The
/ irwin Cup" which will take the place
of the Kamehameha cup. 1t is quite
likely that Mr.. Irwin will accede to
the committees request. ~
The program as arranged by the
committee is as follows, OF course it
will be subject to any change that
may be required later: -''

First: Bicycle race. Prize-Gold,
medal; half-mile scratch; free for all.

PARTY LEAVES FOR MAUI IN
SEARCH OF OPIUM
The Little Steamer Kaena Left Port
on Saturday Night-Kinau Brings
Important Information.

The steamer Kaena put to sea soon
after dark on Saturday evening, os-
tensibly on her regular run, but, in
point of fact, on a cruise to Maui after
smuggled opium. She was joined out
side four hours later by Marshal
Brown and ten picked men, who put
off in whale boat. The Kaena is
under special cnarter from the Govern
ment and is commanded by Capt. Ma
cauley, the pilot, who knows the
coast of Maui better than almost any
one else.
The authorities doe not deny the
mission Of the Kaena, but refuse to
enter into particulars, beyond thefact
that word was received on the Kinau
that large amount of opium either
has been or will be landed on the
island of Maui, at pace which is al
most inaccessible, except from the
ocean, and then only by craft of light
draught. With Capt, Macauley on the
bridge, it Isl believed that the Kaena
