HAS NO JUSTICE COURT.
A Bad Blunder by Those Who Framed
 Berkeley'S New Charter.

The town of Berkeley is without A Justice Court, says the Supreme Court In a decision handed down yesterday in the case of Miner against Jus tice W. H. H. Gentry and others. He applied for a writ of mandate to compel the Justice to issue an execution on Judgment alleged to have been recovered in case against A. M. Nixon This in- volved the question as to whether tne court or Berkeley was in existence at the time the plaintiff began action July 20 1SSI, or subsequent thereto, as well a s tha eifect Of the adoption of the freehoIders' charter upon the previous charter. The charter under which the town was incoI9 porated specified among the officers two Justices of the Peace. The Supreme Co1Irt holds that under the law the present charter supersedes all other charters. and Is the organic law. The contention of the petitioners was that as the freeholders5 charter did not create a court it could not be considered as destroying one The court held, as in the Sparks case of Sac ramento, that the charter was surpassed to be complete of itself and to provide all that it desired The old Justice Court was created with the old charter and it fell with it. In this the majority of the S1l- preme Justices cOncurred Harrison Hem shaw, Garoutte and Temple signing the denial of the petition. Van Fleet Beatty and Mcfarland dissented, the latter con tending that the part of the act incorpor- ating the town and creating the office of justice was not repealed by the freehold CTS charter, which could not deal with the judiciary. There is possibility that many complications may grow out of this decision

The winner will be called upon to play George Whit ney for the championship of the coast, though it is extremely doubtful if Whit ney will respond to the call The 5o rules of the United States Lawn Tennis Asso- citation will be followed, the regulation Wright & Ditson ball being used. All matches will be three out of five sets. The entrance fee will be s1. The entries close June 29, 1s9S and must be sent with fee to Sam P. Hardy, 961 Broadway, Oak land
 On Monday morning. July f. there will be held an open consolation doubles tour nament for the benefit of those defeated in the first round. Special trains will leave San Rafael at 6:35 p. m. on Satur- day, July 2, and on Monday, July 4.

 There Is also spirit of unrest in the San Rafael tournament party concerning the cup which George Whitney won last year. The law reads that the holder must win three successive years before 1t be- comes his absolute property. If Whitney fails to recognize the legitimacy of the opposing Pacific States Lawn Tennis As sociation trouble will ensue.

TRAP SHOOTING AT
 DIFFERENT POINTS

The Olympic Gun Club will meet at the Ingleside trap grounds tomorrow and will smash blue rocks The South Ends will enjoy the afternoon with the clays at Colma, and the Alerts will burn powder and scatter shot at Birds Point The Cal ifornia Wing Club will meet in live bird shoot at Ingleside July 3.
 Otto Feudner, the crack pigeon shot, was very much incensed last Sunday when, after journey to Suisun, he was debarred by the Suisun Gun Club from competing in the live bird shoot. It is safe to say that if Feudner had taken part he would have carried away all the money. as there was not a clean score made during the day.
 The biggest kind of fighting gun is a 13- inch cannon, of which the battle-ship ln- diana has four. It is 40 feet long, weighs 61 tons. costs $50 900. and cannot be made in less than a year. It requires $50 pounds of powder for each shot, and it can be fired once in five minutes. It throws a steel proiectile weighing HOO pounds a distance of F miles. The gun is worked entirely by hydraulic pressure, and the exertion needed to load, aim and fire 1t is scarcely more than is required to shoot a hammerless Shotgun at fly ing target.

4 4 4 < % 4 4 4 4 4 4 RIFLE BULLETS
 THAT WILL TEAR THE FLESH.
< j. j. j. " ' 4 ' Y ' Y Y Y

Within the past month or so there has been considerable said about the Mauser rifle, used by the Spaniards in Cuba ana Manila. Strange as 1t may seem, there are very few rihemen here who have a distinct idea of this firearm and the cart ridge it uses Recent reports from sur geon who examined the bodies or the marines killed at the first engage ment with the Spaniards at Camp Mo Gala were that the bodies were not mu- tilated, as first stated, but that the ghastly wounds had been made by Mau- ser bullets. This made people wonder what kind of deadly missiles the Span iards shoot ip their rifles. It is very likely that they are shooting deadly mis- siles, not recognized as legitimate by civ ilized nations. The Mauser rifle is not very dissimilar to the rifle adopted by the United States, the rag-Jorgensen. It IS made in Germany and is constructed or three tubes instead of a solid barrel, like most such pieces. It has a bolt action and a magazine similar to that Of the new United States musket, the cartridges, five in number, being carried in small metal boxes like the Lee.
 The bullet used is a trif1e over a .33 cal iber or 3-100 of an inch larger than that of the Krag-Jorgensen, and those adopt, ed for army use are known as the steer jacket-in other words, a steel smell con- taining pure lead to give weight. These bullets have great penetrating powers, but they do not necessarily tear the hesn. The only explanation as to how the pull lets shot by the Spanish soldiers mutilat- ;lL t. ed the bodies of the marines so badly IS that they shot the soft point or soft nose" hunting bullet This style Of mis- sile is intended only for hunting big game. It is of half steel jacket and the point is of pure lead. .
 When the point strikes an -object it mushrooms like a toadstool. stnd while the hole at the entrance is not large, the place where such a bullet coTaes out Is invariably very large and rag9ed. Such cartridges are intended only f1r big and dangerous game. They have been found to be too tearing for game killed for con sumption and lighter cartridges with smaller soft points have come into more general use. If the marines were mutil- ated with Mauser bullets those missiles must have been of the kind used for slaughtering bears and lions.
 The local interest in rifle shooting has not abated in the least because of the war taking so many of the younger men into the ranks Tomorrow half a dozen rife clubs will hold forth at the Shell Mound range and some good scores may be expected. M. J. WHITE.

 PAPE WILL < RACE IN SKIFFS. z
< 4 < 4 4 " 4 <

The oarsmen of San Francisco and Ala meda have two topics of discussion at the present time-the shell and skiff races to take place at Fl Campo tomorrow and the Fourth of July regatta Of these two topics by far the more interesting is the Fl Campo event There will be six races tomorrow. but of these two will be preliminary heats, leaving four conclusive contests on the programme. The list of entries in the junior and senior outraged sl1iff races has already been published in The Call: it is large and representative enough to make 1t certain that all who care for oarsmanship will see an excellent days sport. The seven contestants in the junior outraged skiff race will row in two preliminary heats, four in the first and three in the sec ond heat. All the clubs except the TritonS and Olympics are represented. The Pio- neer and Alameda clubs have two en- tries each, and the Dolphins, South Ends and Ariels one each. The Alameda men, W. Hansen and J. Lewis, are both in fine condition, and are pulling better than ever they did. Their skiffs are not so light as those that will be used by some of their competitors, but Leander Steven son is putting them into thorough order, and Lewis and Hansen are expected to render a very good account of themselves. In rough water Lewis should have a de- cided advantage, as he has been accus- toned to it all his, life. The two pre- llLlllIdty HSdlS III IIS JuIlOr outraged skiff race will be rowed in the morning, the first soon after Il o'clock and the really important event of the day the special match race between Alex Pape of the Dolphins and William McCausland of the Ariels. will start about l D. m. Pape has been training faithfully and practic- ing regularly. and will prove dangerous perience may enable him to keep his championship honors. The senior shell race between H. Wittkopf of the Ariels and J. Lynn of Stockton is next on the programme. and is to be followed by the final heat in the junior outraged skitf race. The last event is the senior out rigged skih race. in which the winner of the Pape-McCausland match race will probably row. and should make things interesting for the other competitors. W. O. Patch of the Dolphins has been train ing assiduously and has much improved his stroke and pace. The Alameda Boat Club has two entries, F. Ayers and Ches- ter Ayers, and entertains great hopes that F. Ayers will prove the winner
 The South End Boat Club, which last year distinguished itself so much at EI Campo, has only one representative in

 The many friends of Robeft Asheton Smyth, official handicapped of the C.: A C. C., will not be surprised to learn that he has left the Examiner and is now on The Call.

A Point on Recording.

The Supreme Court has decided point in law relative to the filing of documents for record. G. Grand executed a mort gage to one Edwards. His wife on the same day executed a declaration to home stead a portion of the same property. Edwards gave the mortgage to one of the deputies in the Recorders office a little after office hours-5 o'clock-with direc- tions to record as soon as the office opened in the morning. Mrs Grand gave the declaration of homestead to one of the deputies a few minutes before the office opened on the following morning, with directions to record at once. Both o clock. Edwards sued on the mortgage and obtained judgment Mrs. Grand con tested, and the point raised was that her document was. really the first filed. The decision that the mortgage was the first executed was affirmed by the higher court, which also held that although both were recorded at the same time the mort gage was filed first. having been placed in the hands of deputy for record on the preceding day The matter of office hours cuts no figure in such cases.

4 < 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 + ANNUAL MEET ON
 JULY 4 AT SACRAMENTO.

Entries for the big State meet at Sacra- mento on July PA close Monday next with the Capital City Wheelmen at Sacramen- to. Interest in cycle racing has been re- vived by the near approach of the meet, and there will likely be large attend ance from this and surrounding cities.
 It seems probable now that Frank G. Peck will not ride the proposed match with J. E. Wing at the Sacramento meet. Peck thinks he can do better in the open events. and as the purse for the match Is only $35 and Wing has an organized corps of pacemakers, while Peck has none, the latter does not like the game. He states, however, that he is willing to race Wing unpaced, or single or tandem paced, but declines to meet him on unlim- tied pacing grounds for the reason that he CPeck) cannot get a team of pacemak- CTS trained and ready in the short time intervening before the meet.
 The semi-annual election of officers of the Pacific Cycling Club was held last Monday evening with the following re- suit: President, Jerome l.. Regner; vice. president, Henry Plagemann; secretary treasurer, Alfred Bach; captain, Ernest E. Erhe; lieutenant, L. Rankin. The club will have run to Bear Valley to-mor- row.
 The Bay City Wheelmen will have a run to Stockton tonight on the o'clock river boat, returning Monday morning. The clubs baseball team viii go up to cross bats tomorrow with the Stocktons Captain Harry Larkin is i'll at his room in the clubhouse with measles
 The membership of the c. A. c. c. has now passed the HOO mark and the officers are jubilant For a long time the roll lowered around 1000, but since the new roadbooks have been issued it has gone up with a jump. Data regarding mem bership may be had from the cycling ed itor of The Call. The roadbook is free to members.
 Commodore Thomas l.. Hill of the San Francisco Yacht Club, accompanied by his wife, intends to make a wheeling trip through the Yellowstone National Park some time in August.
 Jules F. Hancock of the Bay City Wheelmen and treasurer of the c. A. c. c. will leave in a few days for a two weeks wheeling trip over the Sierras in the direction of Tahoe, an old stamping ground of the Hancock boys.
 R. c. Lennie is expected back from his northern trip the first of next week. Joseph A. Ostendorf leaves for the south in day or two.

 The Alameda Boat Club is growing in strength and numbers. At its last meet ing two new members-Charles Hague and George Conrad-were elected five appli- cations for membership will be passed on next Tuesday, and three more are on the board. The club has displayed its patriot ism by naming it's skiffs Dewey and Hob- son, and two yawls Schley and Sampson. c.

WORDS OF ADVICE
 TO LOCAL ANGLERS

The following words of good advice to anglers are from the pen of A. V. La Motte, who is experimenting the fish hatchery at Ukah. True sportsmen will appreciate the article in question, which reads:
 To the Sporting Editor of The CaIl-Dear Sir: It is a general complaint among the fishermen of the State that the trout in the streams get smaller with each succeeding year. Now, this is not altogether correct. The de- nand made on our streams increases year by year the number of fishermen increase, and it is not every one who goes fishing who fs A true disciple of Isaac Walton, or lives up to the ethics of true sportsmanship. A fisher man will not stand on rifle and whip out and rapid to rapid until he finds fish large enough to afford sport and spare the imma- ture troutlets until they grow large enough to catch. It is a poor excuse to say: Well, I cannot find large fish, so l take small ones '' until he says: ''I cannot find fish. 30 I take the eggs If they do not give the trout a chance to grow, how will they ever get large |? Such people should be called 'scavengers' of the streams, not fishermen.
 The only way to improve the present condi- tfons apparent to the writer seems to lie in the judicious stocking of the streams with early spawning fish. It Is a known fact that fish spawn earlier in some parts of the State than in others. For example, the steelhead com nences spawning in Eel River. Mendocino County frequently in December and January. Now, these eggs, if matched in February and March. will attain twelve months growth be- fore the open season for fishing commences, hence will by that time have attained a growth of eight CT nine inches, amply large to afford sport in catching. Whereas. the eggs taken from late spawning localities have shorter length of time for development and are not large enough to catch by April following It is for this reason that the management of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway Com pany constructed. during the last season, a spawning station on one of the tributaries of Eel River for the purpose of furnishing their Ukiah hatchery with early fry. The experi- nent has proved a success, as the fry now in the hatchery amply large enough for dis will sport by next April. Respectfully,
 A. ". LA MOTTE
