BAIL RECEIPTS.
Police Clerk Farren Liable to Get in
Serious Trouble.


Auditor Broderiek was thundeTstruck
yesterday when clerk of Police Court 4.
w. ID. Farren, walked into his Office and
laid bundle on the table.
When opened the bundle was found to
contain the bail and fine receipt book
which. under the new law, had been fur
nished the Police Court clerks.
The books had been delivered to Clerk
Farren on May 20 and yet he had not used
even one receipt. All the other Police
Court clerks had used the receipts and fur
nished reports. They had made an honest
endeavor to carry out the new law. but
Farren, placing himself above the law.
treated 1t with contempt and refused to
issue receipts. His action is very severely
commented on and he is liable to get him.
self into rouble, as the new law makes it a
felony for clerk to refuse to issue re-
ceiDts.
Police Court Clerk GaviRan in his report
holds the new law to be impractlcaDle In
its operation, and says, after giving some
figures:
According to the foregoing there has
been deposited with City and County
Treasurer by me to the amount Of $780,
whereas in fact / have in my possession
receipts from the Treasurer showing that
there has been deposited from this court
bail money amounting to S7734.
1.-THE discrepancy is due to the fact that a
number Of persons have refused to take
their bank receipts, but principally to the
fact that bail was received at the police
stations in the different portions of the
city by the prison-keeper in charge. This
money is In turn handed over to the prop
erty clerk Of the Police Department. who
delivers it to the clerk of the department
to which the case has been assigned. Tho
original deposition. not being present. 1t is
impossible for the clerk to give him q re-
ceipt for the bail.
ION account of this system the depos-
itor of bail does not receive the official re-
ceipt as intended by the law. and the pur-
pose of iden tificatOn, which it would
serve as means of recovering the bail In
the event of its exoneration. is practically
defeated. In eDdeavoring to comply with
the law it Is violated almost daily, and I'M
til some rule of accepting balls and fines
is laid down for the proper guidance of
the clerks in the various departments of
Police Courts. in the future it will be inn
possible to make the accounts between the
amount of bail and fine receipts received
by the clerks and issued by them balance
with the money deposited with the Treas
urarv

GUNCOTTON FACTORY ON FIRE.
Two Men Killed at an Eastern Torpedo
Station.

NEWPORT, r. l., July Sat 2 o'clock
this afternoon smoke was seen issuing
from among the buildings on Goat Island,
occupied by the Government as torpedo
station, which soon grew to lively blaze.
Then fog obscured the scene. and when it
lifted the flames were no longer discern
ible. AS no boats were plying between
the island and this city it was some time
before the facts were ascertained and
then it was learned that the fire was
located in the gun cotton factory on the
site OF the old Fort George. on the west side
of the island.
As soon as the blaze was discovered by
the employees Il the factory the work was
at once begun of removing the large
quantity of guncotton contained in the
building 10 place of safety. Before the
work had been completed. however. the
fire reached part of the guncotton and an
explosion followed. killing two men and

that Oakland was surely going to get the
trophy Now perhaps the people who
talked are sorry. The truth Is Sam Hardy
met with defeat. Allen took three of five
games from him, and now he occupies
quite an exalted position on the tennis
pedestal.
Stetson also suffered a severe shock
when he and Driscoll went at it again, and
when play finally ended his name

tells not OF victory. Score, Sc, 6-3 and

The match in the semi-finals between
Allen and Sumner Hardy was won
by the former after hard tiye-match
contest. In the, Driscoll- Stetson matcn
Driscoll was victorious. winning the
best two out of three sets quite
handily by score of So. 6-3 go.
1t was a most interesting contest from
start to finish, save Driscoll showed his
superior playing in every stroke. To-

which match cannot help but prove most
exciting. and brilliant playing will no
doubt result. as they are two of the finest
cracks of the coast. The winner of the
other match will play Allen of the Calfor-
MIA Club for the coast single championship
and the beautiful silver cup.
To-day the tournament will conclude
and DrlscOl and Sam Hardy will play
semi-final and then the winner will meet
Allen in the deciding game for the trophy.
Already slight disturbance over this
game has arisen. aud it is due to the action
nf the committee on tournament, which
changed the number OF games in each
series to two out of three instead of three
out Of five. The followers of the men
likely to meet in the end each take differ
eBt views of the change and discussions in
favor Of and against it are frequent and
warm.
The claim of those who are opposed to
tits that it has great tendency to lessen
the chances for success for player who
while slow at first finishes well.
Its supporters offer no argument in its
favor save tina; it shortens the matches,
