Stephen Carolls, a Singhalese cook, was
found yesterday afternoon In a room in
the Sunset House, 901 Sacramento street,
with a gaping bullet wound over the right
temple, no doubt self-inflicted, from which
he died at the Central Emergency Hospi
tal several hours later. "W. H. Palmer of
\Zl Second street opened uie door and
found Carolis lying on the lounge uncon
scious, with blood flowing from the
wound in the head. A revolver with one
cartridge discharged was found on the
lounge between the knees of the unfor
tunate man. Dr. Eidenmuller of 1004 Clay
street was summoned and, finding that
Carolls was In a dying condition, ordered
his removal to the hospital, where he died
at 5:30 p.^m. Some facts made the case
appear to be a murder, and it was ru
mored that Carolis had money, but De
tective Charles Taylor ascertained that
Carolis had been a ship's cook. Robert
Lindsay told a deputy Coroner he thought
Carolis had diamonds and might have
been murdered for them, but the Inference
was probably false, for letters In his room

T-JE opening game of Scottish bowl
ing at the new Oakland bowling
jreen was played yesterday by the
San Francisco Scottish Bowling
Club and the Oakland Scottish
Bowling Club.
The new bowling green, at Twenty-sec
ond avenue and East Fourteenth street, is
in splendid condition for a new one, the
ground being dry. whic\ helps the players.
The game opened at 1:30 in the after
noon and was witnessed by several hun
dred spectators, who were attracted by
the novelty of the game, though it has
been played for hundreds of years in Scot
land. The Scottish bowling has no resem
blance to the common bowling game
played on the alleys; it resembles more
the game of shuffle board or the Scottish
game of curling.
The game Is played with four teams to
a side, four players compoatng a team.
At one end of the rink, which is 12$ feet
long by 20 feet wide, a small white ball
called a jack Is placed, and each player
rolls a ball, which is shaped like an
orange, as near as possible to the jack.
When each player has bowled all his balls
those nearest the Jack are counted bo that
if one team has three balls nearer the jack
than the other side the first team makes
three points, whereas if the other team
has one ball nearer than either of the
three of 4he first balls the first three balls
are counted out and the other side gains
one point. Twenty-one points make a
game.
The opening game was won by the San
Francisco club, the visiting team scoring
84 points against 53 points scored by the
Oakland club.
Electric lights will be placed on the new
green, and in the future the game can
be bowled in the evening as well as the

•won't agree to a compromise.
singles was extremely exciting and al
though Alfonso Bell, the challenger, won
in straight sets, it was close from start
to finish. The score was 6-3, 7-5. 10-S.
Bell played a magnificent game and at
the net was invincible. The first set was
won quite hnndlly by the new champion.
In the second and third sets the great
struggle came. It was evident at the out
set that Freeman was not in the best "of
condition. He appeared to be afraid to
let himself out. He did not play his usual
steady, careful game, but seemed inclined
to win a point or lose It on one stroke.
He was not up to his last year's form,
but Bell showed great Improvement over
his work a year ago. The fact that Free
man about half the time failed to follow
in his service showed that he was a little
afraid to exert himself.
In the second set first one led and then
the other, until Bell finally won. 7-6.
Freeman had a fine chance to win the
third set, but Bell made a beautiful stand
and pulled up from 5-6 and 0-40. The ex
champion needed but one point to win the
set and had three chances to do it.
Freeman weakened perceptibly in the
last two games and Bell annexed them
quite handily. The loser deserves great
crdit for making such a plucky fight, con
sidering his condition and the heat.
In the forenoon Miss May Sutton de
fended her title successfully against her
sister. Miss Florence, the tournament
winner. The champion won three straight
sets, but the leser made a better show
ing against her clever sister than ever
before.
This makes Miss May's third win and
the challenge cup becomes hers for good.
Both players stayed in the back court
and consequently many lengthy and in
teresting exchanges occurred. The little
champion drove to perfection and the few
times she played at the net smashed with
great speed and accuracy. The score was
6-1, 6-3, 6-2.
After the Bell-Freeman match a special
match was arranged between Miss May
Sutton and Clarence Griffin, a promising
youngster. Discussion has been rife as to
whether Miss Sutton could beat
one of the best of the second
class men. Many of the south
erners claim that Miss Sutton can
beat all but about ten men on the coast.
The local men do not agree with them.
The match yesterday gives a line on the
champion's game as compared with the
games put up by the second-class men.
The match was won by Miss May Sut
ton only after three very close sets, con
sequently she can hardly be ranked
among the first ten players. The score
was 6-4, 1-6, 6-4.
Prizes were presented at 9 p. m., after
which a dance was held at the hotel,
winding up one of the most successful
tournaments ever held on the coast.
Color Photography Successful-
After more than 4000 experiments Dr.
R. Neuhaus ha3 reached results In color

LOS ANGELES, Sept. fli— Mrs. Chris
tina Griffith haa instituted euit for di
vorce against her husband. Colonel Grif
fith J. Griffith, who is charged with hav
ing attempted her life at Santa Monica
last week. The papers were filed at a
late hour last nlsrht. but the fact was
not made public until to-day. Colonel
Griffith is out on ball and to-day being
a legal holiday no action could be taken,
save to serve a restraining order upon
the defendant to prevent his making any
disposition of his property, pending a set
tlement of the suit.
The complaint charges extreme cruelty
extending over a period of about four
years and culminating in the shooting
affair Thursday, September 3. which
nearly coat Mrs. Griffith her life. The
plaintiff applies for the custody of her
rifteen-year-old son Vandell and prays
that Colonel Griffith be required to pay
her alimony in reasonable amount and a
sufficient sum for the support of her son.
As co-defendants in the suit the State
Bank and Trust Company, the Pacific
Art Tile Company and the Eriswalter
Land and Water Company are named in
the complaint. The reason given by the
attorneys of Mrs. Griffith for this action
is that the defendant Is supposed to have
large deposits with the bank and is a con
trolling stockholder in the two companies
named. By making the corporations co
defendants disposition of Colonel Griffith's
property is estopped.
From present indications Mr*. Griffith,
the victim of the shooting affair, will re
cover.
XEW YORK. Sept. 9.-^The examination
of Joseph Waherman. a dealer Jn leaf to
bacco, to-day before United States Com
missioner Ridgeway on a charge of buy
ir.g smuggled tobacco brought out the
fart, if the confeslsons of two sailors ar
rested Monday are to be believed, that
there are a number of tobacco merchants
In New York engaged in illicit traffic In
tobacco.
For many months the treasury agents
have been investigating what they felt
assured was a -well laid conspiracy to
smuggle into New York leaf tobacco
used for wrappers on expensive cigars
and bearing a very high rate of duty. It
can be purchased in Holland for SO cents
a pound and easily disposed of In the
United States for 52 50 per pound. Much
of it is smuggled, it is declared, from The
