test became so spirited that & settle
ment was absolutely necessary. SO the
two sides submitted regularly prepared

He decided in favor ofVCollege Spirit
on the ground that it wasQeke older pub

FAIRS PAPERS.
Inquiry Regarding Genuine and Alleged
Fraudulent Documents

SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 19-The liti-
cation over the now famous Fair-Cald-
well letters began today when Charles
Fair told how he had obtained posses
ion Of the documents. This was by pay
ing 500 for the letters to Detective Still
well, who was supposed to pay it in turn
to Jerome Caldwell.
The late Senator Fair wrote lis letters
to his friend Jerome Caldwell during the
last thirty years of his life. In many of
these documents the private affairs of
numerous persons, now we'll known on
the coast. were discussed with remarka-
Bile freedom. Caldwell was ready to sell
the letters for $500. but agreed to take
SlQ0, or a, little less than 81 apiece. for
the lot. According to Mr.. Fairs sworn
statement he paid S1e0 to Detective Still
well, who was negotiating the purchase,
and received the letters, together with a
typewriter copy thereof Suddenly suit
was brought against Fair for the recov-
cry of the letters. and in the complaint
that was filed was copy of every letter
furnished by StillWell to the attorneys
for Fair.
Fair testified that he engaged Stillwell
and that the latter went to Los Angeles
and bought the letters for 500. Fair
gave the money to Stillwell, presuming
the latter in turn paid Caldwell.
At the preliminary examination today
of eX-Notary Public j j. Cooney, charged
with perjury in connection with the Fair
esta te litigation the court declined 70
permit the introduction of photogra phc
copies. of the pencil deeds in evidence,
requiring Mrs. Craven, the grantee un-
der the deeds. to produce the originals,
which her attorneys are unwilling to do
The principal witness was w. e. Stan
ford clerk of the II s. Crocker company
publishers and printers. who testified
that on January s. 1896, he ordered 10000
blank notarial certificates TO be printed
these blanks having numbers and other
Identifying marks. The prosecution will
try to show that one of these certificates
bearing Fairs acknowledgment to the
Craven deeds bears Cooney's notarial
certificate dated September. 1891.

THE CALLERS on M'KINLEY
Hold Very Pleasant and Most Satisfac.
tory Conferences
Just the Same the Cabinet of the Presi-
dent-Elect Is Mostly Specula-
tive

CANTON, O., Jan. 19.-Hon. Edward
Lauterback, president Of the Republ-
can county committee of New York city
and an intimate associate of Hon. 7. C.
Platt, came to Canton today to confer
with Major Mckinley. On the train
with him were Abner Mckinley and W.
j. Arkell and Artist Hamilton of Judge.
Abner Mckinley took the party to the
majors home.
Mr.. Lauterback was seen after his
conference of an hour and a half with
the president-elect and he said the
conference was pleasant and satisfac-
tory. He said he was here represent
ing the organization in New York. He
said the entire situation in New YORK
had been gone over in the conversation.
Mr. Lauterback said Mr.. Platt was sat
lsfied with his prospects of representing
the Empire state in the senate. He said
the names of Benjamin +. Tracy, who
was secretary OF the navy during Pres
ident Harrison's administrati ton: j.
Sloat Fassett, Ex-Governor Woodford,
Sylvus Payne and many others, together
with General Horace Porter, We're men-
toned. Ex-Governor Morton, he said,
was hardly considered as cabinet pos
slbility but may be the representative
to London. Mr.. Lauterbach left at 2:05
for Washington.
George NJ. Francis of Napa, Cal, ac-
companied by his wife, stopped in Cam
ton today to call on Major Mckinley
He was California presidential elector
and was chosen messenger to carry the
result of the ballot TO Washington.
After some correspondence between
the inaugural transportation committee
and the officials Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, it has been decided
to make some changes in the schedule
of the inaugural train. The special train
carrying the president-elect and party,
will leave Canton at p. M, March 1st.
instead of D. m. as heretofore an
nounced. The train will consist OF a
baggage car dining car, two Pulmans

fore the house committee on commerce

report to the house with several amend
ments in the interests of bona fi0e pur-
chasers of tickets.
The conference of the two houses on
the immigration bill reached an afgu-
ment today and the bill as agreed upon
will probably be reported tomorrow.
Many of the provisions of both the sem
