FAIR WILL POUND.


San Francisco, Aug. 1s.-Attorney
Charles j. Heggerty announces that
he has found the last will of Mrs.
Charles L. Fair in a safe deposit
vault. He refuses to make known
the contents of the document. The
will was prepared by knight and
Haggerty, in April, 1900. This is
the will of which Mrs. Fair told Mrs.
Joseph Harvey, and by which it is
presumed upon the evidence of her
statements to Mrs. Harvey, she left
legacies to her mother, brothers and
sisters, aggregating the total amount
of her individual fortune, variously
estimated to be worth from $3.50. 900
to $4,000
No other will was found. In knight
and Haggerty's custody, there has
been the will of Charles l.. Fair,
drawn about the same time, April,
1900. This and the will of Mrs. Fair
found in the trust company vault
are documents that will be filed by
the attorneys for the Fair heirs
whenever it becomes necessary in
their opposition to the petition of the
public administrator. If the public
administrator does not interfere, the
wills will not be filed until after the
funeral of Mr.. and Mrs. Fair in this
city.
New York, Aug. 1s.-Thc cause of
the automobile accident in which Mr..
and Mrs: Charles Fair were, killed,
and also of other motor accidents, is

the members of recognized clubs and
owners of automobiles should be inn
pressed with the terrible risk they
run in indulging in outbursts of
high speed, even on the long, broad
and perfect roads of Normandy.

dunn has been delivered to the Ger
man minister in Caracas, Venezuela,
and confdentially to the representa-
tives of al the friendly powers,
cables the Herald correspondent at
Willemstad, Curacao. This memo
randum was an answer to the note
transmitted last December by Am
bassador Won Holleben to the United
States government.
The German note was not officially
known to President Castro until the
present time. The kaiser's govern
ment in that note informed the
United States of it's intention to oc-
cupy Venezuelan port in order to
enforce payment of the German
claims.
President Castro's official answer
to that note is regarded by MEM
bers of his government as strong
document. He contends that Ger
many has not respected Venezuela's
right to legislate both for Vene-
zuelan citizens and for foreigners re-
siding in Venezuela.

the Germans and other foreigners
for damages during the civil wars
should be presented to and decided
only by Venezuelan courts.
Germany maintains that satisfac-
ton cannot be obtained in that way,
owing to the well-known and pc
culiar characteristics of Venezuelan
courts, which are President Castro's
instruments.
The kaiser's government contends
that the claims should be settled by
conferences between German Dip
lomatic agent and the Venezuelan
minister of foreign affairs, and in
case of a disagreement, the matter
should be referred to The Hague in
ternational court Of arbitration.
President Castro's memorandum de-
clares that the German claims have
been exaggerated, and contains
list of references to authorities on
international law; to support the gov
ernment's argument.
1t declares that Germany has not
made legal argument, but simply
a series of demands, to the validity
of which Venezuela objects.
In conclusion the Venezuelan mem
oranduum says that the government
presents to the German empire and
to the friendly powers it's protest
against the ideas, imputations and
purposes of the German note of De-
cember II, and declares that this
protest is necessary.
It asserts that Venezuela, as an
Independent nation, objects to the
motive of Ambassador Holleben's
communication to the United States
government, and considers that the
note, in it's political aspect and gem
eral character, affects the integrity
of the rights of the American hemi-
