There are PG HI3 FINE WITH COUPONG Aged Beggar Cuts Gov- ernment Bonds in Court. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug 26. With more than $5000 worth of cash and securities in his pockets Thomas Feeley, the old man who was arrested in this city yesterday for begging, told Police Judge Smith that he guessed he was guilty of both begging and disturbing the peace of Mr. Jeffries vesterday. On the charge of disturbing the peace Judge Smith “gave” the old man $0 or twenty | days, while on the charge of begging he “gave” him sixty days without any monetary alternative. Then the ordinary habitues of the Police Court were astounded. The old man called for his property and cut four ten-dollar coupons off his Government bonds and handed them to Clerk Hennessy in payment of his fine. A Government bond had never found its way into the Police Court before to-day, and most of those who witnessed this act had only eard of these documents as valuable assets that only bankers see. But when it came to settling up the sentence upon the charge of begging, Feeley found that it was a different mat- ter. Judge Smith gave him sixty days in the County Jail without any alternative, and the old man was removed to serve his term. Feeley has been begging around Oak- land for several months and the police have been on his trail several times, but have never been able to put their hands upon him. When they did get him they hardly expected to find a man with a small fortune upon him.

Navy Secretary Instructed Not to Sign Vouchers at Present Time. poL R WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—The Depart- ment of Justice, in an opinion by Acting Attorney General Beck, has advised the Secretary of the Navy that he is justified in withholding his approval of certain vouchers which have been submitted by the Bethlehem Steel Company and the Carnegle Steel Company for royalties which these companies paid to the Har- vey Steel Company for the use of the Harvey process in hardening steel and for | which they claim relmbursement from the | Government under a contract by which | the Government agreed to pay these roy- | alties to the steel companies if the steel companies ‘‘were required to pay them' to the Harvey Steel Company. The lia- bility to pay these royalties has been a matter of dispute for some years, and | while the particular royalties only relate to the hardening of the armor plate for the battieships Iilinois and Wisconsin, yet the decision affects all of the royalties upon the various battleships which have been constructed since 1893 or under process of construction. | The ovinion sets forth that on April 12, | 1893, the United States made a contract with the Harvey Steel Company by whicn the Government acquired the right to use the inventions described as the Haryey patents by paying a royalty of one-half of one per cent a pound upon the finished product. Subsequently Captain Sampson, then chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, ad- | vised the Navy Department that no fur- ther royaltiés should be paid, as the process used by the Government through its contractors in the construction of armor vlate was not the same as that covered by the Harvey patents, and for | the additional reason that the Harvey patents were invalid for want of novelty. On this recommendation Secretary Her- bert in 18% refused to pay further royal- tles. In 1897 the Carnegie Steel Company and the Bethlehem Steel Company took out a license from the Harvey Steel Com- pany to use its process in the face-hard- ening of armor plates, and the contract stipulated that the stéel companies were | under ne obligation to pay any royalties whenever the Harvey Steel Company had previously granted a license which had in The agreement further stipulates that the steel companies should submit to an adverse decree for an alleged infringe- ment of the Harvey patents and the issu- ance of an injunction to restrain them from the use of the process except under this license. i Suit was commenced in the United States Circuit Court for the eastern dls- trict of Pennsylvania and a decree en- tered as stipulated in the agreement. Sub- sequently the two steel companies in 1808 | made contracts with the Government for | the manufacture of the armor plate for the battleships Illinois and Wisconsin, which provided that if the steel compa: nies were required to pay “royalty for the use of the face-hardening process” the Government should reimburse them, and | the Harvey Steel Company then brought suit agains t the Government in the Court ents, and the Government defended on the grounds indicated by Secretary Herbert. The Bethlehem Company and the Carne- | gle Company, having paid the rovalties for hardening the armor plate of the Tlii nois and the Wisconsin to the Harvi Steel Company, presented a voucher for the approval of the Secretary of tne Navy to secure reimbursement, and the Secreta requested the opinion of the Attorney General as to whether he w justified in withholding his approval until the case in the Court of Claims involving The acting Attorney General, in the opinior just sent to the Secretary of the Navy, advised him that he is justified in withholding such approval, to the end that the questions involved may be judi- cially determined.

MARY’S COLLEGE ATHLETES AFTER FULL SHARE OF HONOR Many Promising Candidates for Track Prizes, and Field Day Promises to Be Record Breaker. AKLAND, Aug. 26.—St. Mary's College is going to take a great deal of interest in athletic affairs during the coming term. The col- lege opened last week with an un- usually large attendance, and the first thing that was done by the students was to organize an athletic assoclation to have general control of all track and field ath- letic events for the coming season. St. Mary's College has always been strong on baseball, and the team will be reorganized with but little change from last year. The team last year had the remarkable record of not having lost a single game except the first practice game played. It was victor in every match game. e ULTY THIL MUST BE FAGED Mirror Theft by Two College Men Will Be Investigated. ol garis BERKELEY, Aug. 26.—Two college men must appear this week before the facuity | committee on students’ affairs to explain to that body incidents surrounding the i @ ! i i | Caxland shoestore during the early hours of a morning last week. The case is the | first of its sort to come before the faculty | of recent years, and it iz beiny watched with widespread interest. The young men, B. T. McLean and T. Rowland, both members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. escaped prose- cution after arrest because the proprietor of the store asked for the dismissal of the cases. Now they must face a trial per- haps more serious than the legal one they narrowly missed. The result may be ex- pulsion from. college, or they may only be expelled for a year or so. However the investigation may end, the young men are thoroughly frightened and do not expect great leniency on the part of the faculty. The mirror theft was officially referred to Professor T. R. Bacon, head of the stu- dents' affairs committee, by President Wheeler, who requested that it be inves- tigated. 'Rowland and McLean have been cited to appear before the committee on ‘Wednesday, and that body after the ex- amination will recommend to the presi- dent what shall be done with them. Final action is in the hands of President Wheel- er, Professor Bacon said to-day that as far as he knew the committee would not in- vestigate the rush which occurred Friday at the gymnasium between the sopho- mores on the one hand and the freshmen and juniors on the other. Official report of the act has not been made to the com- mittee, and no notice of the rush will be taken unless it is brought up officially. In all probability the whole thing will be dropped, as the material damage has been paid for and the broken faculty edict agalnst rushing may be overlooked. he students’ affairs committee. reor- ganized this term by President Wheeler, consists of the following named: Professor T, R.
