Charles Fair and Wife Were Killed Instant
ly While Riding in France.
The Chauffeur Was Driven Insane by the Shocking
Accident-Settlement of an Enormous Estate
Will Depend Upon Which Died First.

EvTeaux. France. August 14-Mr and
Airs Charles Fair, Americans. who were
related TO Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt. Jr. Miss
virginia Fair. were returning to Paris
FROM TrouNlle when their AUTOMOBILES
swerved and crushed into tree fifteen
miles from here. Both were killed.
The chauffeur became insane as con-
sequence OF the shock
Mr. and Mrs. Fair had been staying at
Irouvilie during racing week. They had
very fast forty dye-horse power automobile
which attracted considerable attention and
with which they were highly pleased. Mr.
Fair had been from Tronville 10 Paris and
back again In one day on the machine.
The accident occurred at half past 2
O'Clock this afternoon and almost in front
of the Chateau Ruisson du Mai The Fairs
intended to dine and spend the night In
Paris and return to Trouyille for luncheon
tomorrow
The wife of the gatekeeper VI the
chateau was the only witness OF the die
aster. she says she noticed big red Rutv-
mobile coming along the road at tire
mehdous pace. Suddenly something hap.
pened and the heavy machine sid sldewa, $
from the right to the left side OF the roau
Tor about sixty yards, II then dashed mp
on embankment. turned a complete somer-
sault and crashed into a big elm tree In
front Of the gate of the chateau. The auto
mobile was completely wrecked the front
axle was broken and other parts Of the
machine were smas shed, including the stCe. :
ing gear. When the automobile turned over
the wife of the gatekeeper says she saw
Mr.. and Mrs. Fair thrown high in the air
and fan with a heavy thud to the ground.
The chauffeur who was sitting behind the
Fairs. was preciptated into a ditch. He
staggered to his feet calling for nelp. The
gatekeepers wife rushed TO his assistance
and aided him in extricating Mr.. and Mrs.
Fair, who were buried beneath the wrecked
machine, and In the last throes of death.
Both had sustained CHASTITY injuries and
We're almost understandable.

SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE

Mr.. Fairs lawyer. Mr.. Hnggerty, says
the death of Charles Fair viii not upset
the present arrangements for the manage
ment Of the Fair estate. The property is
now managed by Hermann oelrichs. Under
this Arrangement Charles Fair decided GER
tain property to his sisters
There Is now much speculation as TO what
will become of Charles Fairs share. On
this point Mr.. uaggerty SAYS: Under the
law of California. when~a couple are vic
tins of common calamity and both are
between 16 and 10 years Of ~ and there
Is no evidence as to which died hrst, the
man Is presumed to have lived the longer.
lin such case. all the property would
go to Mr.. Fairs relatives. his sisters,
ION the other hand, II there Is evidence
to show that Mrs. Fair lived longer than
Charles Fair her relatives in the East
would inherit the property involved"
Mr.. Haggerty will not discuss the IN stAcr
of the will. From other sources Ii Is
learned that Charles Fair had n Will which
is now supposed to be locked up in his
safe here In San Francisco.
SO little is known here OF Mrs. Fairs
relatives that Mr.. Haggerty says he does
not know where her heirs reside. II Is
thought, however. that,they live in New
Jersey.

! FORMER TROUBLES
Third Time Margin Raid Has Been
Made on Phillips.

Third Time Margin Raid Has Been
Made on Phillips.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Jan. 14.-Phillips has been do
ing large commission trade in all grains
and has operated mainly on the buying
side, as sentiment has been with the
farmer and outside speculator for months.
His present house has been in existence
about four months, and has one Of the
largest country following in the trade.
This is the third time that margin raid
has been made on Phillips house within a
year. Last April, when he had line of
100000 bushels of corn, he was called
upon to put up $295,000, and got it up in
such short time that the trade was sat
isfed. When he ran his May corn deal
last year, he had to put UP 100000 with
in twenty four hours. With his present
holdings Of almost 5000. 600 bushels, the
young man has his interests SO scattered
that 1t Is not easy to concentrate them
Within short time.
Z Phillips career on the board has been
meteoric. He has attracted more at
tention in his few years than most Of the
big operators have in life time. He has
been successful in getting the country
SPECTATORS to follow him and they have
great faith in his judgment. His deal in
November corn in 1900 first brought him
into prominence. His customers made
money and this gave hin. good start.
His next deal was in May corn in 1901;
and while his customers, who went into
his blind pool, made money, he came out
badly owing to plumbers il his office that
cost $250,000. Starting on Sept. 10 with a
new outfit and a lot Of courage, he has
built up business that reaches over
100000 bushels day and forces him to
employ q larger force of clerks than he
had during his famous corn deal.

BABCOCK ACTS
Intr oduces His Bill to Free
List Steel Trust
Products.

Washington, Jan. Represent alive
Babcock of Wisconsin to- day introduced a.
bill placing number of articles of the
iron and steel schedule on the free list
and materially reducing the duties on
other articles throughout the iron and
steel schedule.
The presentation Of this bill has been
waited with much interest on account Of
the discussion aroused by a somewhat
similar bill, and Mr.. Babcock's position
both as republican member of the ways
and means committee and chairman of
the republican congressional committee
The bill is more extended than that of
last year and was drawn after conferences
and correspondence with the steel and iron
interest. the purpose being to place the
rates on a strictly protective basis. The
articles placed on the free list are the
heavy products of the furnace, while the
rates on other articles of the schedule
average about one-half the present rates.

PAPERS BOUGHT

Bribed, Says Whitaker
Wright.

London, Jan. 14.-The bankruptcy court
was engaged yesterday and to-day with
Whitaker Wright with reference to the
affairs to the London & Globe, British
America and other corporations in which
he was managing director To-day Wright
revealed the extraordinary methods Of the
financial press of London. He said:
1t is we'll known in the city that all the
daily financial press and those publishing re-
ports of transactions on the Stock Exchange
and everything Of that kind will not do so,
and will not assist companies until they have
a consideration in some form or other It is
the custom.
Asked if it was the custom in the city
to buy the press to the extent of $4,000
in the case of each company f1oated,
Wright said the price was higher He
named the Financial Times, the Financial
News, the Citizen and other papers as
beneficiaries from the London & Globe
corporation. When questioned as to
whether representatives of Henry Labou-
chmere's Truth had not largely benefited,
Wright replied: mo- the benefciaries
were connected with the Citizen; but one
of the editors of Truth is proprietor of
the Citizen
Spensley as benef1ciaries through the
Citizen, and also referred to others con-
nected with the Financial Times and the
Financial News, including Harry Marks
editor Of the last named paper.

NOT UNAVOIDABLE

Supreme COurt's Action ON Merger
as Viewed by Senator Wilson.
Senator George P. Wilson. associate
counsel for the state in the Northern Sc
curities case, does not consider the SUI
preme court order filed yesterday un-
favorable to the states case. He says.
take it that the order of the court simply
means that it has decided to go into the
question whether the state has, as was alleged
q proprietary interest which would warrant
the supreme court in assuming jurisdiction
To settle that point the order has been made
to give proper notice to the Northern Securi-
ties company, that it may appear before the
court to argue the entire question. In brief
that the order simply means that the cour
will go into the question Of Jurisdiction first
of all, which means speedy conclusion Of
the question.

NEW BUILDING
Fletcher Will Ask Merely for
Enlargement Of Present
Structure.

From The Jo,sr,az Bureou. Room. Is. Post
BHaLdtssg, VushS7s0tosa.
Washington, Jan. 14-Representatiye
vising Architect Taylor to-day relative
to the public building at Minneapolis. The
question under discussion was whether
the passage Of the bill at this session for
the enlargement of the old building would
interfere with the prospect Of getting q
new building in FIVE or six years. Mr.
Taylor has had frequent conferences with
Representative Mercer chairman of the
committee on public buildings and
grounds, and gave it as his opinion that
there would be better prospects for get
ting a new building through Ave. or six
years from now than in this congress, and
that authority for the enlargement of
the present building would not interfere
with the proposition.
AS matter Of fact, the word has all
ready passed along that there must be
no Nextravagent appropriations at this
session. The fact that there is large
surplus does not mean that large expen-
ditures may be authorized. For that rea-
son it is probable that the appropria-
lions for public buildings will be kept
down to the lowest possible limit. A new
building at Minneapolis would cost at
least 100000, although it would not be
appropriated at one session. 1t would
bind the government, however, to an ex-
penditure Of that amount, and that Is
what the leaders of the house are trying
to avoid.
Mr.. Fletcher has therefore decided that
he will ask only for authority to enlarge
the old building, and will press for a new
building in some future congress, If he Il
then member Of the house. The chances
then will be more favorable, and with two
additional stories in the present building
space will be afforded for the transaction
OF federal business for some years.

HEADLESS
Two Naked Torsos Found on
the Beach Near Port
Townsend.

Port Townsend, Wash, Jan. 14.-The
people Of WILDLY island are in high
state of excitement over the d1nding Of
another headless body ON the beach near
Fort Fasey.
Last week body was found there with
the head severed. AS no residents of the
island are missing, the mystery increases
and the authorities are of the opinion
that murders have been committed at
some point up the sound, that the heads
have been severed to prevent identi6ca-
tion, the bodies cast into the water and
that the tides have landed them on Wild
by island.
Another thing which increases the mys-
terry is the fact that the same person
found both headless bodies and says he
found another some ten days ago, but
before he could notify the authorities the
body Disappeared.

Thomas Lipton's next challenger for the
Americas cup. At conference just held
between Sir Thomas and his advisers,
definite arrangements were made for the
construction of the Shamrock III. and an
order for the new yacht was given to and
accepted by Mr.. Fife.
In view OF the probability OF q big re-
vival Of British yachting and the feet
that designing and experimenting cup
challenger necessitates constant work for
at least year, Mr.. Fife was somewhat
disinclined to accept the contract. but
Sir Thomas found means OF overcoming
