PARIS PAPER
HAS ITS SAY
Claims That Mrs. Fair
Has Duplicate Neck
lace Made Here.
1t Alleges She Feared Both
Robbery and Custom
house officers.

The New York Herald's European edi-
ton will publish to-day the statement
that the Francais has an explanation of
the Fair jewel mystery.
1t is said that Mrs Charles Fair or
dered either in New York or this city
facsimilies of her most valuable jewels
TO be made. That she left the real stones
in America, fearing that she might be
robbed at any time, and also that she
might have great difficulty in passing
them through the Custom-house in New
York upon her return TO this country.
1t is said that Mrs. Fair told no one
of her secret. and that even her maid
Margaret, now Mrs. Melbourne, was not
informed of the substitution of the real
stones by imitation ones.
The Partisan paper bases its authority
for the story on the fact that the imita-
ton jewels were first detected by a IA
nous dealer in rare gems in Paris the
Avenue de TOpera when he was called
in TO appraise the Fair personal belong
ings which they had with them in France
al the time of their tragic death.
All Of the well known local jewellers de-
MED that they ever had been ordered by
Mrs. Fair to manufacture limitations of
her valuable gems.

though none too soon.
The accident occurred near De Guerre

barrier for $4,000. and the loss will fall
on the contractors. The flood was caused
by the unusually heavy rains all through

MINERS OPPOSE
INJUNCTION LAW
Assert That It Is Con-
trary to Spirit Of
Constitution.
Favor Passage Of the Relief
Measure Pending in the
Senate.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.-The report
of the committee on injunctions at the
miners convention to-day was very de-
tailed. The committee went into the his
tory of the operation of the injunction,
and after showing the great abuses to
which it has contributed, recommended
that President Mitchell appoint a COM
mittee Of two to go to Washington to use
it's influence to secure the passage of the
anti-injunction bill, House bill No. IL $50,
now pending in the Senate, the COM
mittee also to be instructed TO get the rec
ord of every Senator and Representative
on the bill. The report says:
Injunctions in labor disputes are usually
granted against violent and unlawful acts for
ample remedy, and are clear violation of the
right Of trial by jury. They go far beyond the
point of protecting the property interests Of
the plaintiff and deny TO the members Of the
trades union that has been restrained their con-
stitutional right of public assemblage- They
prevent US from going upon our own property
to hold meetings because it may happen TO be
near to or within sight Of the property OF our
imagine how it would be possible for US to own
any property that is not adjacent to some
other property.
They deny to us the right to talk to our fell
low-citizens and endeavor to persuade them
to cease working for the plaintiff, and in
because II is alleged that il the meetings are
held and employees induced to cease work
the properties of the employer will be injured
beyond any legal means of redress. That their
property is entitled TO the same protection that
the property of other citizens receive cannot
be denied. but when injunction is issued re-
strainIng the members of d union from in any
manner interfering with employer IL car
ries with II the assumption on the part Of
the court that the employer seeking the order
has a property interest in his emplOyes-an
assumption absolutely contrary to the letter Of
our constitution and the spirit of laws
The trades unionists OF the country never
have asked and do not ask for any immunity
from the requirements OF the law. We are
now and ever have been defenders of law and
order. We ask no special privileges at the
hands of Government. We seek only TO
secure for ourselves the same rights that are
accorded to other citizens of land.
During consideration of the report of
the committee on initiation and fees Pres
ident Mitchell said:
You have made provision for membership IN
the organization of boys between the ages Of
II and 16 years. 1t seems to me that you
ought to make some provision for boys under
ii years of age who work In our mines. For
my part do not believe that they should be
allowed to work at all.

WOODLAND. Jan. 26.-J. B. Lippincott
resident photographer of the United
States geological survey, on Sunday in
vestigated conditions on both sides of
Cache Creek as far west as Brooks, in
Capay Valley. His object in making the
trip was TO take a personal investigation
and observation of the extent of the area
susceptible of irrigation, so that he can
report intelligently on the resolution re-
Gently passed by the Water and Forest
Association. He was much surprised. He
had been led to believe that the only land
that can be irrigated at a reasonable ex-
pense is situated in Capay Valley. He
found a body of land extending north as
far as the eye can reach and south to
PUtah Creek, to every acre of which wa
ter may be artificially applied.
He incidentally expressed the opinion
that Yolo County people are asleep and
do not seem to realize the possibilities
that are easily within their grasp. For
years they have been sitting idly by, let
ting well enough alone, and permitting to
run to waste water in quantities that can
not be developed in the south except by
the expenditure of millions of dollars.
