OSCAR NJ. Upton BROKE.
Receiver Appointed for His Properties
Spread Out Too Much. Says the Trade.

A petition In bankruptcy was filed yester-
day against Oscar NJ Upton, the saloon
keeper, and Leroy s. Gore was appointed
receiver. The petitioning creditors are
William Lanahan & Son Of Baltimore,
Frank L. Upton and the Wilson Distillery
Company, to which Oscar Upton owes
s9,4SO. They charge that he admitted on
July 10 that he was bankrupt.
The lease and contents Of Liptons Red
Lion Inn, at 70 Cortlandt street, were sold
at auction a few days ago, under fore
closure of q ohattel mortgage Of $4,000,
held by James 8. Kelly. from whom Mr..
Upton purchased the place two years ago.
Kelly got IL back for less than half the orig
inal selling price. II was formerly known
as the Trenton Hotel.
Mr. Lipton's financial affairs were the
subject Of discussion among a number
of those present at this sale. 1t was said
that he had spread out too much in buying
saloons and leasing cafes in Office build
ings Some Of these were not profitable
and some of the places have not yet been
fitted up. The saloon at 90 Nassau street
was sold few days ago.
His liabilities are estimated at $4,000,
and 1t is generally believed in the trade
that if time is given to him he will be able
to pay his debts in full.

DEFICIT FOR POLICE PENSIONS
Likely to BE More Than 81SO.OOO and
u Is Growing Annually.

Chief Examiner John W. Booth of the
Department of Accounts has just finished
a special examination of the Police Pension
Fund. The result shows a probable def
cit for this year of $253,3O3. Mr. Booth
says the monthly pension roll now amounts
to nearly 500 900, and the average increase
from month to month Is more than 81 500
To pay the pensions for 1903. at least
81, 100000 will be required.
In consequence of the deficit which
faces the pension fund, Mr.. Booth says
that the time is at hand for the Police Com
missioner, in making his annual depart
mental estimate, to apply to the Board Of
Estimate for pension fund appropriation
sufficient TO meet all deficiencies.
Examiner Booth has this to say Of the
method Of handling receipts followed in
the License Bureau, which is under the
supervision Of Sergt. Robert Halfpenny
1Sergt. Halfpenny OF the License Blu
reau, audit department, handles about
$4,000 license moneys year OF this
amount probably one-half is cash Sergt.
Halfpenny is not bonded for this
service. He is supposed to make imne-
date returns to the cashier and book
keeper. While we have no reason to sus
pect his integrity or accuracy, the attention
of the Police Commissioner ia hereby invi-
ted TO this rather mbusiness-like practice,
in order that ordinary precautions against
possible. loss may be introduced and
enforced"

roy Is Certain to succeed Croker.
The Civil Service Commission has de-
cided that the examination for Chief of
the Fire Department shall be non com
petitive one. This means that Deputy
Chief Purroy will take the examination
alone and will be approved.
Deputy Chiefs Lally and Purroy were the
only ones to pass the physical examination.
and under the law the commission can hold
a competitive examination where there
are three or less than three candidates.
Commissioner Sturgis has asked that the
rest Of the examination be non-competitive.
Lally has protested on the ground that
the physical examination was but part OF
the whole test In its ruling the commits
sion says:
The commission does not consider il pos
notifled to attend The examination for pro-
motion to the position Of Chief of the Fire
Department. to which but two, persons
didates. We do not agree with your view
that candidate who is subjected to the
physical test enters the examination. and
cred as part of the examination Even
though the examination should be held In
accordance with your request, the Com
missioner would have the privilege OF max
inc = selection
1t was learned yesterday from friends
Of Mr.. Lally that his purpose in seeking
to take the examination Is not to try Tor
Immediate preferment. He recognizes, it
was said that Purroy will be promoted;
but IIally is anxious to get on the eligible
list because of his belief that Tammany
will come back to power at the next election
In that event, Lally's friends asserted
Purroy will be ousted as Croker was, and
Ially would then have no obstacle in his
path to the place of Chief,
The friends of Deputy Chief Duane feel
aggrieved at the published statements
that he was one Of the candidates who took
the examination for the place az Fire Chief
and who failed on the physical tests. Chief
