remarkably well. Only once she was unable to withhold her tears, and then the court held a five minute recess, in which time she regained her composure. She was smartly costumed in black. She wore a cloth gown built on simple lines and unrelieved but for a touch of filet lace on the cuffs.
 Costumed Looked the Part.
 A collar of real lace was all but hid den by the handsome furs drawn closely over her shoulders. Her hat was a small turban with a touch of burnt goose, and a black veil was thrown back from her face. Frequently she raised her platinum lorgnette and glanced at Judge Sloan as he asked a pitiless question. Two handsome rings and a particularly distinctive wrist watch were the only other jewels worn.
 Although much has been said of the cruel manner in which Mrs. Mckay has been harrassed and her extremely nerv- ous condition. she appears to have her. self in excellent control. When it ap- peared that she had contradicted her. self or when an embarrassing question was put she excused her memory be- cause of her many weeks illness.
 Missed Many VaIuables..
 Mrs. Mckay insisted that she missed the letter only after she discharged the nurse, whom she feared. Then she found, she stated, that Miss Wilkes had taken not only the letter but her per sonal jewels, her husbands diamond studs and scarf pins, her own silk un- derwear and lace handkerchiefs. She said the nurse left her employ on Au- gust IT.
 The witness in reply to a question put by Judge Sloan said that she knew MT. McLain, who represents the Mckay in terests. She said he called upon her in Oakland and the nurse listened to the conversation.
 Don't you know that MT. McLain and myself reached San Francisco on August 23, and on that occasion you had the letter."

 Mrs Mckay was safeguarded by nu- merous attorneys. She is being repre- sented by J. H. Lacey, whom she en- ployed while yet in California, and latel Townsend, Stockton & Drake were as sociated. Recently George Purdy Bull lard entered the case. Mrs Mckay was completely unnerved last evening after 1 her trying day in court, which she stccd i so well.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS IN FRANCE
(From The Spiker. France

(From The Spiker, France.)
 One of the first things American soldiers arriving in France notice are the big cats and the small donkeys It takes only a little stretch of the inn agination and some win blanc to get the biggest cat and the small donkey all mixed up. Under such conditions one is apt fondly to pat some petit ane" standing between the shafts of a great cart and wonder how the cat got such long ears. Or stand in amaze ment on seeing a donkey reposing in the sun on the top of wall or a win dow sill
 The donkey. small as it is. is doing his part in winning the war. And even the big cats, giving comfort and companionship to the family hearth, are doing their part. When the heroes of the war are all recorded, Frances domestic animals will be included

NJ STATE FAIR
 WILL bE HELD |S
 FINAL DECISION
With Most of Arizona In Grip Of Influenza The Big Show Is Called Off. May
 Hold Victory'Fair Later

Positive announcement of the can cellation of the state fair for this year vas made yesterday by Cecil D. Boyce, secretary of the fair commission.
 In reaching the decision to call off fhe 1918 fair, the commission was guided largely by the advice of Dr. O.. H Brown. state health officer who believed that the holding of the big show this year would be inadvisable, owing to the prevalence of influenza throughout the state. In letter to Secretary Boyce. pr. Brown set forth hts views as follows:
 Deemed lnadvisabIe
 My dear Mir. Boyce: Your question about the advisability of postponement or cancellation of the fair at hand.
 While it seems that we are getting better and better control of the influ snza situation in most localities in the state. it is, in my opinion, inadvisable to make definite plans at this time for any enterprise which would be likely to draw large crowds together. For this reason | unhesitatingly recom- mend that the fair be not held this year. Yours respectfully,
 "Orville Harry Brown"
 some time ago the fair commission, acting upon the advice of the health authorities, postponed the date of the fair from November to December, hoping that the influenza epidemic would have run it's course by that time Later, however, it became ap- parent that the disease still held a large part of the state in it's grasp, and after thoroughly considering the situ- alton. it was decided to cancel the fair for this year in the interest of public good.
 Suggest Victory Fair
 That the state of Arizona hold Vic tory fair at the state fair grounds in Phoenix in February or March, if peace is declared by that time, was the suggestion made to the fair com missioners yesterday when definite in formation was received that the an- nual fair was postponed.
 The suggestion received instant re- sponse from all who heard of it, and win be considered seriously by the commissioners. They approve of fair in the spring, which will be an inno- Vafion in Phoenix.
 War Exhibit on Coast
 The great war exhibit which was obtained for the 1918 state fair is now in Los Angeles. where it was shipped nrcparatory to be shown at the Lib- erty fair. This fair was postponed rom october 12 until october 26 and later was entirely cancelled.
 Effort may be made after the in nuenza epidemic has subsided to bring this war exhibit to Phoenix The Ari- -ona state fair commission had guar tntccd the war exhibit a large amount of money to pay for the transportation of the exhibit to this part of the coun- try. Whether they will be asked to pay this money under the circum- stances is not known.
