IS A VICTIM OF RED TAPE
Admiral kirkland'S Troubles Origin.
ate from Trivial Causes.
HE CONGRATULATED MR. FAURE
The Old Sailor Is Accused Of Indiscretion
In Commenting Upon Persons and
Affairs-IIcrOism Mt the Mercy
Of Parvcnu Authority.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Rear Admiral
kirkland. commanding the European
naval station. was detached today on
account of dissatisfaction with him,
arising from a number of causes. Com
modore Thomas o. Selfridge, jr., has
been detailed to succeed him. Admiral
kirkland's troubles arose from congra-
tulating President Faure, OF France,
on his election. which Secretary Her
bert thought improper and unnecessary;
from making uncompllmentary re-
marks about American missionaries in
Syria and Armenia. for an alleged in
suit to naval chaplain at the kiel
festivities and because OF charges Of
general lnd!scretion in commenting on
persons and affairs. Admiral kirkland
sailed today from Gibraltar for Algiers
in his flagship, the San Francisco.
While the recall Is, OF course, uncom-
plimentary to Admiral Kirkland. there
is no disposition at the department to
belittle his record as sailor. He is
looked upon as a man of action and Of
quick perception, and always ready TO
do his duty He was appointed TO the
navy from North Carolina in 1850 and
attained his present rank March l last.
Armiral Kirkland has not long TO
serve on the active list, but 1t is be-
lleved that ne will apply for retirement
without delay. 1t Is said that he had
expressed an Intention of going on the
retired list If relieved of his present
duty.
Through his assignment to the Euro
pean station, Commodore Selfridge be-
comes an acting rear admiral, and this
fact brings about the unprecedented
case al least in the United States navy,
where father and son attained the
highest grade of the naval service dur
ing the life time OF both. Admiral Sell
fridge's father, a hale and hearty old
gentleman, more than four score and
ten, is rear admiral, Thomas O. Sell
fridge. sr. He has been on the retired
list for many years. If Admiral Kirk
land retiras al once Admiral Selfridge
Will change his acting rank for that of

SOMMERS MUST PAY.
Judge Archibald SO Said In an Opinion
Handed ~ WI Yesterday.

Handed ~ wn Yesterday.
Judge Archibald handed down an
opinion yesterday in the case of the
commonwealth against Joseph Som
mers, and he sounds the warning note
that the courts of Lackawanra county
do not propose to let go by default the
matter of forfeited recognizances.
In May, 1893, Bernard Jacobs and Jo-
seph Sommers. both of Old Forge town
ship. were arrested for assault and bat
terry upon the person OF George Schlag-
er. They We're also charged with rob-
berry. The grand jury found true bills
against both for assault and battery,
and against Jacobs for larceny. not
robbery. Sommers secured bail from
some outside parties, and Immediately
became Jacobs bondsman. Justice OF
the Peace Andrew Doles. who gave
them hearing, fixed Jacobs bail at
$500.
They We're not nrled at the succeeding
term OF criminal court. because their
cases could not be reached. but they
We're both ready to stand trial. At the
following term the cases were called,
Sommers was there, but Jacobs was non
est; and his bail was forfeited. A scire
faclas was issued and Sommers applied
for a rule to strike off the forfeiture.
In his opinion Judge Archibald says
that IL bah is not collected when the
defendant evades trial. and betakes
himself to some unknown cline, then
the taking OF bail is nothing more or
less than a meaningless ceremony. He
states that in this case the bail was
excessive, and Nov. Is was fixed as the
date or hearing argument in relation to
making a more equitable approxima-
tion of the sum that SommerS will have
