SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY.
Late Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Fair Rob
bed of Valuable Personal Effects.

San Francisco, Jan. 20.-A sensa-
tional discovery was made, says The
Call, when the personal effects of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair ar
rived from Paris few days ago.
The magnificent Russian sable coat,
valued at $4,000, which Mrs. Fair be-
queathed in her will to Mrs. Joe Har-
vey, was gone and a cheap imitation
affair, not worth $50, had been substi-
tuted In its place. Mrs Fairs famous
pearl necklace of five strings, valued
at $4,000, had been tampered with,
and instead of real pearls in the
necklace, cheap imitation gems had
been set In their places. Numbers
of articles of jewelry which the Fairs
were known to have taken to Europe
were missing, and, their only effects
which were returned through the
American consulate in Paris intact
were Mrs. Fairs chinchilla and mink
coats and Charles Fairs scrafpins.
The changes were made, it is believ-
ed, before the valuables were turnd
over to the American consulate.
Steps have been taken to attempt to
locate the lost articles.

decision declaring the special fran

main point upon which the law is de-

chises, taking that power from the To-
