Its formal opening occurred in the First Congregational Church, where the corps of lecturers engaged for the session will speak daily. Dr. J. K.

These exercises were followed by the first lecture of Dean Frank Knight Sanders of Yale Divinity School on “The Teaching Function of ' the Church.” It is estimated that there will be 100 students in attendance upon the summer school, although only about seventy-five registered to-day.

OAKLAND, July Regular Pa- trolman Carl E. Kentz of the Oakland Police Department was off duty last night. Carl took advanatge of his brief furlough and attended moonlight outing at Shell Mound Park. That is what led to his undoing. After a strenuous encounter with the kind of alcoholic stimulant that hits the fighting bumps Kentz imagined he was a composite photograph of every- body in the fighting game from a Ro- man gladiator down to Jeffries. a 2 borne to the County Jail at 2 o'clock this morning in care of three husky deputy constables. Result- No.. 2—=A bunch of sgeventeen men storming the Chief of Police's of- fice at opening hours to-day with sev- enteen kinds of complaints to lodge against the patrolman who had strayed from the narrow path. Result No. 3—One marred policeman relieved of star and ordered to face his superiors, with every prospect that his term of service, begun only last Octo- ber, will abruptly end. Kentz must also answer to a charge of disturbing the peace, his freedom having been gained by the denos(nng of $20 bail. Kentz has a dim recollection of the events at the picnic. They came so fast that one crowded the other out of | his mind. When he got out of his trance he found his countenance filled with projectjng knobs and contusions, while an eve in colors lurid and a cut here and there in relief gave a realistic touch to the joys of the outing. Deputy Constables Green, Wagner and Asher supply the missing detalls. Kentz, they say, conducted himself en- tirely out of the lines set for good po- licemen to follow. So unconventional was the Oaklander that the officers at the park insisted he should retire. Kentz, bibulously belligerent, declined the invitation to depart. But he must leave, ~declared the constabulary. “Must’” did not strike Carl as quite the word. However, things began to move about that time. Kentz would not go. So they took him. It was a merry mix-up, but as the overwhelmed police- man afterward asserted, “Three men were too many for me after I sprained my knee on the railroad' track.” They landed Kentz in jail after he had been patched up at the Receiving Hospital. Seriously, the deputy constables charge that Kentz acted outrageously in the presence of women and was so insulting that several of their escorts took him in hand. Kentz denies all this and aserts that he did not start ructions until some one hit him in the face. —_—————— Charged With Assault.

Pres- ton’s shop at Fruitvdle. Pistol in hand, the storekeeper awaited the onslaught, but she was not otherwise on war foot- ing. Mrs. Preston made only a technical resistance to the process server. He was there to sell out her stock of goods under an execution on behalf of the Lean Law and Collection Agency. The woman resisted the service of the execution several days ago when the “constable went to the store.

Constable Carroll satisfied the law by tacking the document in front of the store. He waited the legal time and returned to-day to sell out the stock to satisfy the judgment. Mrs. Preston had locked the door, obstructed it with bars and then nailed it down with small spikes. As Carroll splintered the casing by lively blows | and ripped panels out of the securely fastened door ‘it “yielded and he en- tered, only to face Mrs. Preston.

Reis, executor of the es- tate of the late Samuel Davis, is not | satisfled with the value placed upon | the big ranch in Kings County, in which Davis owned a one-third in- terest, and upon a showing made to the court yesterday it was ordered | that Julian Sonntag, Robert Day and T. F. Bonnet, who appraised the San Francisco estate, should go out and appraiss’ the ranch. The property consists of 18,712.12 acres and was originally appraised by George Berk- enhuser, George D. Smith and G. Motheral, who were appointed in Kings County at the request of Reis. George E. Bates and E. O. Miller each own a third interest in the ranch. Since the appraisement the admin- istrator has learned that a short time before the death of Davis he, Miller the tract for $15 an acre. They re- fused to renew the contract when it expired, notwithstanding that the in- tending purchaser was ready and able to renew it. Reis also says that Da- vis declared before his death that he would not sell his interest in the lands for $93,000, The land and improve- ments cost Davis $25,000. It is set forth that 3000 acres of the lands are now under alfalfa cultivation and worth at least $75 an acre, and that a large part of the tract is partly fenced, ditched and levsled. The administrator declares that it would be to the best interests of the estate and those holding interest in common to have the tract appraised by strangers to the county, who are familiar with the value of the prop- erty.

FARE IS PLAINTIFF Liibong. s Invokes the Constitutional Provision That Makes Speculative Contracts Void There is trouble among those that buy and sell stocks on “margin.” J. Fare, well learned as an operator in the wavs of the “margin” dealers, is the latest speculator in the institutions ! on Leidesdorff street to voice a protest ir the courts against the methods that | 1ana; lost him his gold. Fare filed two complaints 39![Qrday| against the quoters of “longs” and | “shorts.” In the first suit he seeks to recover from ‘the Central Stock Exchange $2661 15 lost through | “margin” deals, and in the second he | prays, as assignee of Mrs. C. A. Ste-| phen, for judgment against W. C. Car- penter and W. F. James for $1300 on stock transactions which he claims are not sanctioned by law. H. W. Hutton, Fare's attorney, says that while his client was not ignorant | in the ways of the “margin” dealers, he | was deceived as to the profit that was promised him in the transactions at is- sue in the first suit filed. Taking ad- vantage of a constitutional provision he seeks by means of the court to re- cover the gold he parted with. The| provision referred to is article 4, sec- tion 26, of the State constitution, and is as follows: “All contracts for the sale of shares of the capital stock of any corporation or association on margin or to be de- livered at a future date.shall be null and void, and any money paid on such contracts may be recoveted by the par- ty paying it by suit in any court of competent jurisdiction.” Fare has found the court of compe- tent jurisdiction, and by his testimony and that of the woman who placed in | his hands the material for the second suit he promises to add another chap- ter to the history of the institutions the legitimacy of whose operations he at-| tacks. Regarding the suit Mr. Fare's attorney, said: “My client, although well aware of the nature of the business carried on by the defendants, was deceived as to conditions of the market, hence de- mands his money back. That he can re- cover it there can be no doubt, sion covering the case has been passed upon many times. The defendants in | these cases are proprietors of ‘bucket shops,” and I hardly think they \vlll| have the temerity to deny the truth of | our allegations. All we can do id to re-| cover the money lost by my client and | his assignor. The police have attempt- | ed many times to close these bucket shops, but without success. If all their vietims would follow in the footsteps of my client, however, these illegal insti- tutions would soon cease to exist.” Yesterday afternoon the offices of the defendants were vacant. The crowds that gather each morning to watch the rise and fall of the markets of the world had denarted to ponder on the fortunes of the day. Flgures on the blackboard told of the fluctuations of the market, that meant gain and loss to the specu- lators; the world's visible supply of grain was set forth in imposing figures, and the millions involved in railroad | bond issues were posted to dazzle those that would win their fortunes easily. These are the places J. Fare attacks in his suit. What their defense will be is a nut to erack. RS T MERCHANTS' EXCHANGE ELECTS ITS OFFICERS William Babcock was elected president of the Exchange.
