San Francisco. Feb. 17.@There have
been startling developments IN the
suit of Mrs. Nettie Craven, who claims
to be the widow of the late James G..
Fair, and therefore entitled to a
share of the $40, ZOO, 900 estate left by

titled that, in addition to being mar
ried by contract to Senator Fair, a
marriage ceremony had been per-
formed by Justice of the Peace Simp-
ton, of Sausa1ito. Symptom, when in
terviewed, stated that Mrs. Craven's
story was correct, and that he was
prepared to testify to that effect.
Now, however, he has made an affi-
davit in which he says that he never
performed the marriage ceremony be-
tween Senator Fair and Mrs. Craven,
but that Mrs. Craven offered him S1O,-
600 to testify that he had done So
Symptom says that he agreed to do
this, intending to expose Mrs. Craven

OPPOSES THE BILL.
GOV. Stephens Pleads with Missouri Con-
gressznen To Vote Against the Measure
Relating to cOnvict-AEade Goods.

Jefferson City. Mo-. Feb. 17.-Gov.
Stephens has written to each member
of the Missouri congressional delega-
ton, calling attention to the provi-
sions of house bill No. $3.50, which pro-
vides that convict-made goods cannot
be sold outside the state in which they
are manufactured. The governor, in
his letter to the congressman, says:
If this measure becomes a law it would
destroy the contract system now in
vogue at the Missouri state prison, and
might necessitate the calling OF an extra
session of the legislature by me. Our
people, therefore, are more or less
alarmed concerning it, and hope that you
may exert your influence against its pas
sage. We have 1,S00 men employed at
the prison. for which the state receives
50 cents per day, which gives us an income
Of $500 per day, or 81, 900 per month, or
about S325, 900 per annuTn, which, under the
enactment of this proposed law, would be
this law would result disastrouslY to the
contractors at the prison well as place
a heavy burden on the taxpayers of the
state. The great bulk of the output of
the factories at the Missouri prison is
sold outside the state. 1t is the income
derived from the hire of the $500 men to
the contractors that has made the prison
self-sustaining. Nearly all of the con-
tracts have from three to five years yet
to run

Washington Officials Deny Lord ROaebery'a
Statement Regarding Proposed Amer
lean British German Alliance.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Lord Rose
bery's statement in parliament to the
effect that last December the British
government made unsuccessful over
lures to the United States and Ger
many for an alliance, has caused the
greatest surprise among the state de-
partment officials and while they are
not in a position to make an official
denial, they do not hesitate privately
to assert their absolute ignorance of
any overtures of the kind described.
Officials here intimate that from his
position as an opponent of the present
English government, Lord Rosebery
is not in a position to speak by the
card as to what took place in matters
as important as this.

some discussion, it was concluded
that the tw1ne should be sold to the
consumers direct, shutting out the
middle man. Farmers who wish to
get binding Irvine below the prices
fixed by the trust can do so by send
