warned him repeatedly, but he always
laughed and said there was no danger.
I'm a letter received last week Mr..
Fair said he intended sailing for the
United States on the 10Th of this month.
Mr.. Fair went to Europe to see what
Improvements had been made during the
last year or two In automobiles.
He had purchased a new one, he said,
that could sustain a speed of IS miles
an hour for several hours. 1t was built
along radically new lines, and would be
one of the first machines of its class to
be imported into the United States
Born In Nevada.
Charles Fair was born in Virginia City,
Nevada, on April 21, 1867, and was conse-
quently 35 years old. He was greatly In
terested In photography and constructed
one of the largest cameras ever built in
the United States.
Mr.. Fairs lawyer, Mr.. HaggeIty, says
the death of Charles Fair will not upset
the present arrangements for the man
agement of the Fair estates. The prop
erty Is now managed by Hermann Oel-
richs. Under his arrangement, Charles
Fair decided certain property to his sis
ters.
There is now much speculation as to
what will become of Charles Fairs
share. On this point Mr.. Haggerty says:
''Under the law of California, when
couple are victims of a common calami-
ty and both are between 16 and 10 years
of age, and there is no evidence as to
which died first the man is presumed
to have lived the longer
'In such a case all the property would
go to Mr. Fairs relatives, his sisters
"On the other hand If 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 mat
ter Of the will From other sources 1t
is learned that Charles Fair had 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. 1t is
supposed, however, that they live in New
York

BRYAN SAYS 1T AGAIN.
Writes to an Editor Saying Positively
He Is Not Candidate.

Lincoln, Neb., August 14.-W. J.
Bryan has written a letter to the edi
tor of the New Orleans Times Demo
crat in answer to the question whether
he will be a candidate for President
in the next campaign. Bryan says, in
part:
"I shall not be a candidate for the
Presidency in the next campaign. and
! may add / have no choice beyond
the desire to see some one nominated
who was loyal, not only to the ticket,
but to the platform in 1896 and 1900
and who, If elected, could be trusted
to stand by the people in the struggle
against organized wealth.
while no one can look very far
ahead or foresee the contingencies
that may arise, have no plans look
ing to a denomination at any future
time.
