Application Deferred.
San Francisco, August 16.-The mat
ter Of the application of Public Admin
istrator Farnham for letters of admin
istration over the estate of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles L. Fair came up for hear
ing on Judge Carroll Cookies court to-
day.
After listening TO extended arguments
for and against the application of the
public administrator, Judge Cooke an
nounced that he would give a decision
on Monday and in the meantime would
await further particulars of the acci-
dent as the reports of the deaths of the
millionaire and his wife, while undoubt-
edly true, are in the eyes of the law,
merely heresay and must be substan
tiated by more direct evidence than
has already been presented.
