Ferguson Checks Over Books In Clerk's Office and Says He Believes This Money Must Be Given Up. Although John W. Ferguson, who had been checking up the books In County Clerk Field's office, has sub mitted to the County Court a report In which hs say, the wedding "fees re ceived by justices of the peace should be turned over to the County Treas urer, and that there Is a deficit of S80 for this Item. District Attorney Cameron does not agree. He submit ted to County Commissioner LlKhtnor yesterday. Judge Webster being- out of the city on a two-weeks business trip, a report In which he construes the law to mean that Justices are to turn over to the county all fees except those for performing; marriages. His report fol lows: March 11. 1009. to the Honorable County Court. Multnomah County, Or. Gentlemen: I have been requested to render an opinion regarding- the liability of the Justices of the Peace for fees collected by them for performing marriages. Vnder the law previous to 1805. Justices of the Peace received no reg-ular salary, but were paid In fees. Among- these fees was one for performing; a marriage cere mony. In 1885 this law was amended and thereafter a Justice of the Peace was paid a salary and In accordance with section 8003 of the Code he was required to turn over all fees collected to the County Treas urer. I have reached the conclusion that tt was not the Intention of the Legislature to have a Justice of the Peace turn over this 5 fee for performing marriages. Tinder sec tion 5210. any Judicial officer, as well as a minister, may perform a marriage. There Is no provision In the law requiring Judges of other courts or ministers to turn over this fee to the County Troasurer and there would seem to be no reason why they would single out Justices of the Peace. It Is doubtful In my mind If a Justice Is re quired to p-erfotm a marriage. Section 6219 ays that they may perform marriage cere monies. I am aware of the fact that the word may" Is generally Interpreted to mean "must" In such Instances but It is very doubtful If it would be so Interpreted In this case. It would appear then that per forming marriages Is doing something out side of their regular work. The Legislature, when It required these fees to be turned over, stated In soctlon 3003. "said Justices shell perform the duties of their office as now required by law and shall collect in advance from all litigants the fees now al lowed them by law and shall on the first day of each month pay the same over to the County Treasurer of their respective counties." Under this section there Is noth ing requiring them to turn over a fee not received from a litigant. I am aware that section 3001 states 'That the salary of the Justices of the Peace shall he In full compensation for all services or duties performed by said Justices of the Peace and no other feea commissions or compensations whatever shall be allowed to or received by them." Taken with the entire law, I believe that this simply means that they are to no longer be under the fee system but It does not mean that thjy cannot do outside work and performing a marriage I do not con ceive to be a regular duty which they are bound to perform. Respectfully submitted. GEO. J. CAMERON. District Attorney. Mr. Ferguson's report gives the amounts due the county from the Jus- tVllll.m limtJt tValdemar Het'on Fred I.. Olson ... J. W.

J. BOWABB CARROLL. REHEARSAL BIG SUCCESS FRIENDS OF DANCERS MUCH PLEASED WITH KIRMESS. Frequent Practice Has Perfected Various Features of Long Benefit ' Programme. Three blocks of carriages and auto mobiles waiting in line outside the eeoiiisn Rite temple last night gave indication of the interest in the suc cess of the approaching charity Kir mess. For the first time since the strenuous work of rehearsals began, some three weeks, ago, the entire pro gramme to be given at the Armory four nights and one afternoon of next week was danced through by the so ciety folk who have merged forces to make the Klrmess a grand spectac ular success as an entertainment, a brilliant event socially, and a tre mendous boost financially for the Open Air Sanitarium and the Woman's Ex change. Intimate friends and fond relatives of the dainty debuntantes participat ing were admitted for the first time last night that they might note the Terpslchorean marvels achieved by the constant rehearsals which have put out of Joint all the pink teas, bridge soi rees, dancing parties and other forms of gaiety, for a fortnight past. More than 200 of Portland's debu tantes, young matrons and clubmen, fell Into line for the grand march, out of the intricacies of which the individ ual sets which are to give the ten sep arate dances of the programme finally grouped themselves in a great half circle, leaving the center of the stage free for the performance of each dance in turn. Enthusiastic applause from the assembled friends and relatives of the dancers exhilarated the individual sets as they took the floor, and the rehearsal took on the atmosphere of a regular production. Indian maids and braves, two dozen strong, leaped to the front, and circled weirdly, brandishing imaginary tomahawks, emitlng war whoops and leaping and dancing pic turesquely through ingenious figures. to the rhythmic beat of tom-toms. Scotch lads and lassies took the stage, and nimbly executed reel and fling, to the skirl of a bagpipe. Dainty Irish maids and rakish Hibernian gallants followed, and rollicked through lively Jig steps and catchy Celtic song and dance. Specialties were given with each number, and when the Italian Tarantella, with its mad rush and whirl, was well under way. Miss Mil dred Meyer, one of the Terpslchorean discoveries of the Klrmess rehearsals, ran forth with a tambourine and danced a widly graceful specialty. The Marsovian dance, with the specialties by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ladd Corbett, was a revelation of grace and beauty. It was 11 o'clock before the pro gramme rehearsal concluded with a grand finale, but when it was over there was not the shadow of a doubt as to the brilliant success of the big undertaking. "It will be the most brilliant and spectacular thing of the kind ever seen in Portland." said A. L. Mills, who was an interested onlooker. "I tell you, it's going to be a hummer! When all these folks get in costume and go through this programme well. It ought to fairly raise the roof of the Armory!" On Thursday morningr at 10 o'clock the sale of season tickets will open at the Helllg box office. The season ticket sale will continue Friday and individual tickets will be sold Satur day. All the Klrmess boxes. 20 in number, have been sold at $100 each, but some of these, it Is said, will be sold over again, the original pur chasers contributing the box for the re-sale. The season tickets will be for the whole series of Klrmess enter tainments, on the evenings of Tues day and Wednesday. April 13 and 14, and Friday and Saturday, April 16 and 17, with Saturday matinee. The full programme of 10 dances will be given each night, and at the Saturday mat inee the extra dance, that of the Teddy Bears and French Dolls, by 24 little boys and girls, will be added to the programme.

FUND TO BE RAISED Methodists Will Provide for Su perannuated Preachers. CORPORATION IS FORMED Hopes to Furnish Comfortable Liv ing for Men Who Have t Spent Lives in Service, of tlio Church in Oregon. Brighter days are in prospect for the superannuate preachers of the Metho dist Episcopal . Church in the Oregon conference, articles of incorporation of the conference claimants' permanent fund having been filed In the office of the County Clerk yesterday. This means that the pioneer ministers, the worn-outs, are to receive better sup port in- their declining years, and the organization has the full support of the conference. The sole object is the betterment of the financial condi tion of the men and women who pioneered in this field, spreading the gospel wtren the country was first in habited by white people. While the church has always endeav ored prffperly to provide for the finan cial assistance of the superannuate preachers and their widows, the funds for this purpose have always been very short, and it has come to be well known and fully appreciated through out the denomination that something more substantial and certain must be arranged to care for these aged and infirm members of the conference. Therefore, the last session ot the Ore gon conference, in session at Salem, authorized the incorporation of the conference claimants permanent fund, and the organization has Just been perrected. Rev. W. T. Kerr, of Portland. 1 president; A. F. Flegel. of Portland l vice-president; Theodore Fessler, of rorci8.na, is secretary, and Rev. T. L. Jones, of Brownsville, Is treasurer. All of these named are trustees, as are also tev. Hiram Gould, of Forest Grove, and J. I. Jones, of Cottage Grove. The preachers named as trustees are members of the Oregon conference, and the others are members of the laymen's association or the Oregon conference. All the officers and trustees serve witBout pay, and all of their efforts in this work wll be directed toward the accumulation of a fund sufficient to maintain in comfort all of the confer ence claimants, who receive yearly an portionments from the fund set aside for their support. Because of the fact that the money thus received in the past has been sadly inadequate to the needs, it was thought wise by members of the Oregon conference and of the laymen's association to make other ar rangements, and there seems every reason to believe that the plan will worlc out welL The articles of incorporation, filed yesterday, state that the present assets of the corporation aggregate 3500, but from the officers of the organization it was learned yesterday that assur ances of substantial donations have been given already, and it is believed that, in the near future, the fund will be swelled to not less than S15.000. The Canby campmeetlng grounds have been taken over, these alone being va:uea at aDout '4000. They will prob ably be Improved or sold this Summer. All property that is donated to the fund will be held by the trustees and will be managed for the benefit of the permanent fund. The income from property will be divided yearly among the conference claimants. It Is antici pated that, the movement having great sympathy among Methodists and others, it will not be long before there is sufficient Income to support In com fort all those whose lives have been very largely spent in the pioneer mis slon fields of this region, with little financial return, and who, as a result, are dependent upon the conference. Mike Roche Finds His Speech Garbled Kx - President of Traffic Men Is Hardly Able to Recognize Seattle Address From Printed Report. "X" HHl angriest man on Railroad Row I yesterday was Mike Roche.
