CAMERON DECIDES
FOR JUSTICE FEES
Believes They Are Not Re
quired to Turn Over Emolu
ments for Marriages.
EXPERT SAYS $5660 DUE
John W. 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.

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.

Disease Resisted Treatment
BUT CUTICURA CURED
HIM IN THREE WEEKS
"My trouble commenced about two
yt?ar8 ago and consisted, at first, of an
eruption of small
Eustules on my
ands. These
spread later to other
parts of my body,
and the itching at
times was intense, so
much so that 1 liter
ally tore the skin off
in shreds in seeking I
relief. The awful !
itching interfered
with my work con
siderably, and also
kent me a w a k a
night3. I tried several doctors and
used a number of different ointments
and lotions but received practically no
benefit. Finally I settled down to the
use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, with the
result that in a few davs all itching had
ceased and in about three weeks' time
all traces of my eruption had disap
peared. I have had no trouble of this
kind since. H. A. Krutskoff, 5714
