Joseph F. Kirby Not So CLAD to Meet
Detective Carter as He Was.

I'm very glad to see you," said Joseph F.
Kirby to Detective Carter yesterday, but at the
time he did not know who the detective was
"Are you, sure enough?" asked the officer.
''Yes indeed" was his reply.
'But you are under arrest" said the officer.
'Oh," he said as he released his grasp OH the
officers hand, who are you?"
Il am Detective Carter and you will have to
go with me to headquarters"

"Yes."
why, will fix that all right" but it was
TOO late, and III the afternoon he was arragned
before Judge Miller for passing an alleged
worthless check for $40 on a son of Can't
Walter +. Halleck.
Kirby. 1t appears. met Capt Haileck some
days ago and stated that he interested in
large land transactions in Virginia and wanted
the captain to go in with him. Thursday he
called to see the captain, but he was not i'll and
Kirby saw his son. He asked the bow to cash n
$40 check for him. but as the lad did not have
the money he Endorsed the check and got it
cashed. The meeting between Kirby and the
oihcer took place near 9th and r streets
TESTIMONY IN THE POLICE COURT.
When the case was called for trial yesterday
afternoon W. F. Halleck testified that the $40
check was cashed by Mr.. La Fetra.
7. NJ Hough. teller of the Columbia National
Bank. testified that Kirby had had an account
there, but it was oyerdrawn 20 cents March 4.
Dir. Halleck was recalled and testified that
they made complaint yesterday morning and
went to the bank as soon as it was opened, and
that the arrest followed at once.
Mr.. La Fetra testified to cashing the check
and to going to the bank and finding it was
worthless.
MIR. Kirby testified that he was engaged in
the real estate business; that he had am APP
polntment with Maj Halleck and went there
several times. He admitted giving the check
but said he would make it good He admitted
that he gave the young man bond to hold
but really did not know what bond it was. He
intended to take the check up or make ii good
yesterday
Maj. Halleck testified that he did not remem-
Der the man; that he met him on street and
he talked of going in business with witness
and proposed to show him some maps When
the payment of the check was refused he took
measures to secure the arrest.
Mr.. &. Maurice Smith. for the accused, said
that the fact that Kirby sought out Mai. Hal
Ieck at the National and told him that he had
got the money. coupled with the statement that
he offered to make 1t good, showed that there
was no fraud.

THE DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP
a weii-Nanagec Series OF Games and
n High Grade OF Piaying-Sketches OF
the Leading PIayers-Ciose of the
Contests.

- NE SWALLOW does not make a
~ summer. and on the same principle
il Is difficult from the results of one
~ tennis tournament to pass judg-
ment upon the merits of the differ
snt men who have taken part. Generally speak
ing. however, it may be saiS of the District
tournament that has been held during the
past week that it showed higher grade
of playing than any previous event of
like character There we're individual in
stances where deterioration in the style of
playing rather than progress was noted, while
on the other hand some men displayed such
marked improvement as to cause surprise,
especially among those who were not familiar
with the daily games that have been in progress
since the beginning OF the season. 1t was
found, however as is always the case, that
men who had displayed skill in the prac-
tice games did not do well under
the excitement Of a competitive contest The
men who have taken the leading places in
former years, however. maintained their
ground through the series o. games to the
finals and this fact is only another proof that
excellence in the game requires years of prac-
tice. The tournament brought to the front
several young men who have promising futures
as tennis players If they continue their
present game and improve it. In tennis
player frequently reaches certain degree of
skill and then his mastery of the game comes
to q standstill. Others are constantly lmprOv-
ing and the player who makes 10 progress finds
himself at a disadvantage. The list of winners
this year does not need very much revision to
make it correspond with the list
of last year. The old favorites
still at the front Whether the District men
will be obliged to take the usual second places
in the southern tennis tournament at Balti-
more next month Is question that cannot be
answered now. 1t seems TO be generally the
opinion that Washington ought at least to win
the first prize III doubles. and those who are
familiar with the merits OF the players i'll
the association inclined to take
hopeful view Of the situation. IL is certain
that the representatives from this city will 20
into the contest better equipped than ever be-
fore. and it seems about time that something
better than second prizes should fall to the lot
of the Washington players.
The large number of entries is the result
mainly of the active canvass made by sir. 5. y.
Sheibley, who determined to have the players
of the District well represented. and by per-
sistent effort he succeeded MIR. Sheibley CO.
operated with Mr.. Cram and relieved him of
many of the details OF the management.
So much interest is taken in tennis that
some details are given below OF the leading
tennis player of the city and the accompany
ing cuts will make their faces familiar to a
larger circle of admirers.

WESTINGHOUSE GROWTH.
MIR. Hemphill Says New Laws Are Re-
Quired to Meet 1t.

Mr. Hemphil, in the report submitted to
the House yesterday accompanying the bill
providing for forming trust companies and
other corporation in tho District, the pro-
visions OF which were published in yesterday 8
STAR, said:
Upon examination this committee find that
the remarkable growth of business interests
In the District of Columbia have gone
far beyond the proportions contemplated
Dy existing legislation. Financial insti-
tutlons OF the character authorized in all other
larger and many of the smaller cities of the
country are very much needed. The city of
Washington has entered upon a period where
large enterprises are being undertaken, re-
curing the use Of heavy capital and imply
ing the necessity for the requisite stable tinan-
cial lnstrumentalities to handle it. AT
present all OF these matters have, in a limited
way, to be controlled by foreign Companies
who transact their business by comfy. but who
contribute nothing by way OF license or taxa
ton to the resources Of the District and whose
power TO transact their business is necessarily
limited.
1t is found upon Investigation that the in
corporation law of the District, adopted num-
per OF years since, was so limited in its scope
as not to authorize the incorporation
OF the great body Of business enter
prises which exist in all other parts
OF the country, and your committee,
