In the midst of the hustle and hurry
two squads of police, headed by Chief
Lees, Captain Whitman, of the Central
District, and Captain Gillen of the

into the betting ring. Lawyer Ach ap-

IngIeside's Career of Evil, Under Official Ban, Is
Interrupted by the Police.

am informed that the clerk Of my
court went to the Ingleside race track
yesterday afternoon and accepted and
issued blank bonds in the cases Of a
number of bookmakers and sheet
writer's who were arrested for violat-
ing the betting ordinance passed by
the Board of Supervisors Monday
last.
If the bonds and orders of dis
charge were blank at the time of their
issuance they were clearly and un-
doubtedly illegal, and therefore void.
The clerk is appointed by the Board
of Supervisors, and, unfortunately, is
responsible only to them for such ac-
tions.
I as Judge have absolutely no con-
troll over him or his actions outside of
my courtroom. I did not authorize,
under any circumstances, his pres
ence there to accept such bonds, and
it was without my knowledge that he
was there. Furthermore, particular
Iy do not countenance, and disap-
prove of his actions in signing such
orders of release. am remarkably
surprised, however, that the police
did not realize that clerk had no
right to fix the amount of bail in
such cases. I cannot understand why
the police, knowing the law as they
do, should accept the orders under
the circumstances under which they
were presented.
It also has come to my knowledge
that certain comments have been
made in reference to the probable dis
position of these cases should they
come up in my court. I have not as
yet received copy of the ordinance
nor have 7 perused its contents. In
the event of the cases coming up be-
fore me I will give the accused a fair

trial, fair play and at the same time
see that the law is upheld.
Members of the Board of Supervisors
declare that the action of Rice has
aroused them to the necessity of re-
organizing that part Of the Police
Court system over which they have
control. They appoint the clerks. and
do not intend that their employees shall
abuse their authority to bring into con-
tempt local laws. The Chief of Police
declares that he will not only refuse
to accept bonds as they were given yes
terday, but he will investigate thor
oughly the character of the bonds that
have already been given. The affair
has created widespread Indignation.

to the gamblers to determine how the
final test shall be made.
1t has been the custom of the police
to arrest the clerk in poolrooms who
sold the tickets to the officer making
the complaint, but yesterday it was de-
cided to arrest the proprietors OF the
poolrooms also, and Policemen Esola
and Tyrrell, after obtaining the neces-
sary warrants, arrested Henry
Schwartz, Fourth and Market streets;
John Glynn, of Broyer & Glynn. 216
Stevenson street and Fourth and Mis-
sion street (two charges), and John
Connolly, of Dunn & Co, 2O6 Steven
son street. They each gave 500 cash
bail and were released.

tain Whitman to issue instructions to
that effect At o'clock all the Ingle-
side prisoners had left the police sta
ton. They will appear in Judge Con-
lan's court this morning at 10 o'clock.
The incidents at the racetrack yes
terday afternoon have created wide
spread comment in local official circles.
The presence and obnoxious activity of
Clerk Rice have particularly aroused
indignation. Chief of Police Lees de-
clares that Rice had no right to do as
he did and no such procedure will be
accepted in the future. The arrests
will be made in a proper way and re-
leases will be secured in a legal way.
