MRS. CRAVEN'SLAW
HE SCORES A POINT IN HIS
CLIENTS FAVOR
Under the Amended Pleadings the
Case Is Simply an Action to
Quiet Title

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-As the
Fair case was apparently ready to pro-
ceed to trial today another delay was
necessitated by a clever move on the
part of Mrs. Craven's attorneys. Yes
terday the administrators of the Fair
estate, who are co-plaintiffs with the
Fair heirs against Mrs. Craven. asked
! and obtained permission to amend their
complaint to quiet title, as they had
made a mistake in the description, The
Craven attorneys this morning filed
their amended answer to the amended
complaint, but it contained no part of
the former cross-complaint, and all the
equitable issues which had been care
fully raised by the administrators in
their answer to the former cross-com
plant were thus destroyed. Instead of
the Fair case, with its elaborate plead
ings of forgery and fraud, the blunder
in the description gave the Craven at
torneys the opportunity to narrow the
action down to simple action to quiet
title. This could be tried by jury, and
not merely an advisory jury, as In the
trial of equitable issues. The admins
traitors argued that the question of
genuineness or of forgery of the Craven
deeds was the real point at issue and
argument on this point necessitated the
dismissal of the jury for the day.
After listening to argument, Judge
Slack decided that Mrs Craven's cross
complaint and the issues raised by the
answer to it still stood, unless Mrs.
Craven's attorney moved dismissal of
it. He made no announcement Of any
such intention, so the court took re-
cess. Subsequently Attorney Delmas
moved to dismiss his cross-complaint.
MI Wheeler objected and cited law to
show that the cross-complaint could not
be dism Used at this stage.
Argument followed, at the conclusion
of which Judge Slack sustained Mr..
Wheeers position, and ordered the case
to go to trial.
Attorney Pierson, for the executors of
the estate, made the opening address,
and stated that 1t would be proved that
Mrs. Craven's claims to portion of the
estate were illegal. He described Mrs.
Craven as a skillful, adrojt, cool and de-
signing woman.
Mr.. Pierson said that proof would be
presented to show that Senator Fair
was not in San Francisco on the day
he was alleged to have given Mrs.
Craven the deeds to a million dollars
worth of property, and could not have
acknowledged the deeds before Notary
Cooney on that date. 1t would also be
shown that the acknowledgment blanks
used by Cooney, and dated in 1894. were
not in existence until 1896. and experts
would testify that the deeds and the
pencil will and the letter dated Decem-
Der 16, 1894 were forgeries.

MILITARY ATHLETES
The Tournament Closes With Fine
Performances

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-The fea-
ture of the closing day of the military
tournament was the remarkable high
jumping of Trooper Robertsons mag
nificent charger. The horse easily clear
ed the bar at feet inches, and was evil
IDENTIFY able TO do better.
In the mounted tug of war, the artil-
lery men, having rather heavier horses.
seemed to have slight advantage and
F. battery won their first heat and
final without much trouble.
The strong feeling of rivalry between
Light Battery G and F. of the Third
made two events unusually interesting.
The first was called a section contest
1t consists Of harnessing up the guns,
bringing them into action, and firing twa
shots, with other details. With slow
team the operation takes about twenty
minutes, but Battery c. managed 1t ali
in minutes and 10 seconds. Battery F..
got trace tangled in the harvesting,
and so they took minutes seconds.
The other artillery event was the
drivers contest. The object is to drive
four horses and the awkward gun at a
speed through three sets of four poets
The distance between the posts leaves
about five and half inches leeway for
the axles. IT Is not an easy matter to go
zigzagging in figures Of eight through
these obstacles, but both teams did 1t
with few posts down. Every post down
adds five seconds TO the time Of the
teams. because II is a tie contest. Bat
terry F. won, but the victory was chiefly
due to the fall OF one of the horses of
Battery c. The winners time was s 2-5
seconds. In the mounted novelty race
Farrier Millners horse, disgusted at
the unmilitary spectacle of a trooper
with an umbrella open over his head,
took to buck-5umping. The saddle turn
ed and Millner fell off He was not se-
riouely hurt, and was able to finish the
race.

IN THE HOUSE
Some Work Done in Spite of Dis
sensions

WASHINGTON. April 22.-The house
TODAY adopted a special order for the
consideration of the senate amendments
10 the Indian appropriation bill without
reference to a committee. The Demo-
cratic diseensions again came to the
surface. Mr.. Bailey and his followers
Joined with the Republicans on this
proposition, after the special order had
been modified so as not to cover the
appropriation bills. Bland of Missouri
protested vigorously against this course,
bat only had . following of twenty
four-not enough to get a second vote.
Simpson Of Kansas is out of the city,
and the report was not in evidence.
Tie senate amendments of mirlr i'm
portance were concurred in excepting
that removing the Indian supply depot
from Chicago to Omaha. The amend
ment relative to the opening of the
Uncompshgre reservation was not act
ed upon today. While it was being de-
bated the death of Judge Holman was
announced. and, as a mark of respect,
the house adjourned.
Just after the house convened today
Dalzell of Pennsylvania presented a
special order for the consideration of
senate amendments to the Indian ap-
preparation bill The rules provided
that until the final disposition of the
four appropriation bills it should be
in oredr to consider senate amendments
in committee Of the whole, without ref
erence or consideration of any other
committee.
Bailey the nominal Democratic lead
or, said he would agree 70 Dalzell's mo-
tion, provided that it apply only to the
indian bill, thus saving hasty action on
the sundry civil bill. Dalzell accepted
the suggestion, but the Democrats who
opposed Bailey's leadership rose in re-
volt, headed by Bland.
Bailey declared that what he objected
to 10 the special order was its omnibus
character. So far as the Indian appro-
rriAtion bill was concerned, he thought
consideration in the committee of the
Whole was sufficient, but no one could
force what radica, propositions might
come back in the sundry civil and gen.
crs.l deficiency bills.
iJalzell made the modification, but
BlsEf II Missouri. Democrat in an i'm
e.uG. way, voiced the protests of
those opposed to Bailey's leadership.
The hsuse had plenty of time, he said
0n6 there was nc reason why the bill
should not so through the regular chan
ncis. 81, to this time he had sympa-
thizsd ytf the course of the gentleman
from Texas (Bailty), but he could not
support him when he failed to demand
