THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, AUGUST 10. 1909. SLY CUPID WORKS WASHINGTON LOSS Couples Going Elsewhere to Evade Marriage Law Cost State Sum of $20,000. PORTLAND GAINS $3500 One Hundred Grooms and Brides Get Licenses Here In Two Months. Economy Sends Others to Various Points. MuchkitU. doctors r.d ministers In the fte of Washington have lost at least JJDflni) In the last two months on account of the new marriage law requiring phy sical examinations. Portland has been the gainer by at least 3i3t). and If prices In British Columbia tally with local de mands wise and lucky grooms still have J13.KX) of the , with which to furnish their homes. At first thought this would hardly seem possible, but when It is known that be tween Tfy and 100 Washington couples have come to Portland to be married lnce June 9. when the Washington law went Into effrct, that Oregon City and neighboring county seat have also had their share, and that couples are flocking over the line to Vancouver. B. C it ceases to be a wonder. Couples; young and old. are coming to Portland to be married, for the ceremony performed here costs only 8 and WS In Washington. Besides, they avoid all the bother at tending a physical examination. Here are the figures: The doctor's certificate of health In Washington costs from V to S5; aver age The license costs Jo. and the preacher or judge asks $5: total, $45. In Oregon the license costs S3, and the minister asks S: total. JS: doctor's cer tificate not required. With the expendi tures for presents, refreshments, and flowers each of the weddings would prob ably have cost 100. in addition to the I4S for fees. Fifty weddings at JlnO each cost 7oO. To be married at all the other 60 would have been obliged to pay making a total of 10.0u0 for the IK) weddings. Allowing for a sitnilar number of couples having gone to Van couver. B. C. to be married, the loss to Washington is just M.O0O. Besides Hood Itiver and The Dallea and other towns on the boundary line have had visits from Washington bridal couples. Harry Mills came to Portland last month from Seattle, bringing with him Parah Smith, bis bride-to-be. He paid Deputy County Clerk -Prasp $3 for a license. Circuit Judge Gaten S3 for per forming the ceremony, went to the ball game with his bride after the ceremony had been performed, and took an auto mobile ride In the evening. "He was In the automobile throe hours, but two other couples had gone with him. so he was called on for but S5 of the 115 charge. The second day he took a "Seeing Portland" trolley ride, which cost him SI. went to The Oaks with his bride in the afternoon, and spent J1.50. taking In the cnutes. the figure 8. the tickler, the old mill and buying refreshments. In the evening they went to Council Crest, took two rides on the scenic railway, tent some time at the Joy wheel and In the dancing pavilion, and paid SI for postcards. They went to The Dalles on the third day. After Mr. Mills had paid his hotel bill of S3 a day he found he had spent tiO in all. besides the S15 for round trip railroad tickets, and thought hlmseir lucky to have spent only SSS. When Dave Taylor, of Spokane, came to Portland with Miss Kewland. to be married, he spent only $52.60. railroad fare, marriage fees and all, while he would have been compelled to pay J4o for the ceremony at home, without any honeymoon trip at all. He spent J1&.60 in Portland, spending one evening boat riding on the Willamette, and a part of the next day at Vancouver Barracks. Besides this he visited the Forestry build ing with his bride, went to Willamette Heights, and to Oregon City. Tiie average groom probably spends about S35 while In Portland. At a low estimate the ICO who have come from Washington In ihe last two months have spent fciViO here. The clauses of the Washington mar riage law compelling physical examina tions are as follows: The County Auditor, before a marriage license is Isuued. shall require each appli can therefor to tile In his ofdee, upon blanks to be provided by th county for that purpose, an affidavit of at least one duly licensed physician other than the per sons seeking the license, showing that the contracting parties are not feeble-minded. Imbeciles, epileptics. Insane persons, com mon drunkards, or persons afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis in Its advanced stapes: Provided, that in addition, the af fidavit as to the male contracting party shall show that such male Is not afflicted with any contagious disease. He shall also require an aftidavlt of somo disinterested creditable person showing that said persons are not habitual criminals; the female is over the age of IS years and the male Is over the age of - 1 years, unless the consent In writing Is obtained of the father, mother or other guardian of the person for whom the license is required In cases where the female Is under the age of IS years and the male Is under the age of 21 years: Provided, that no consent shall be given, nor license Issued, unless such female be over the age of 13 years. Said aftidavlt may be sub scribed and sworn to before aay person authorised to administer oaths. Anyone knowingly swearing falsely to the statements contained In the affidavits men tioned In this act shall be deemed guilty of perjury and punished as provided by the laws of the State of Washington. Any pe-son violating any of the provisions of this act shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than STOOe. or by imprisonment In the state peni tentiary for a period of not more than three years, or by both such Sne and Imprison ment.

ACT EXTENDS TIE Underground Wire System to Be Granted More Grace. ORDINANCE IS PREPARED Power Company Completes Work In Large Territory Measure Adds Periods of Six Months and Two Tears. September 1 Is the date fixed by city or dinance when all electric, telephone and telegraph wires roust be underground, but an ordinance will be presented at the next meeting of the City Council extending the time from six months to two years. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company was delayed nearly a year in commencing this work by the Lane ad ministration, which was figuring on put ting In a municipal conduit for the ac commodation of all such wires. After this scheme had been exploited and aban doned, the electric company proceeded diligently with placing its wires under ground, with the result that the work has been practically completed In the dis trict bounded by Front, Yamhill, Park and Oak streets. Cables have been drawn in the con duits and the work of transferring cus tomers from the overhead to the under ground circuits is being done rapidly by various electrical contractors in the city. The electric company is now ready to take down Its wires In this district, but until Its customers can be connected with the new system, this cannot be done with out working a hardship on the business interests of the city in the territory de scribed. The conduit system Is being built In the remainder of the West Side fire limits, but cannot be completed for some time. For that reason an ordinance will be submitted at the next meeting of the Council granting an extension of six months for customers to make their con nections In the district referred to and an extension of two years in which to com plete the underground system In the re mainder of the fire-limit district. The electric company has begun taking down Its wires and poles wherever It will not work a hardship on the business in terests. Its new machinery for operat ing the underground system is arriving rapidly and most of it is now installed In the Seventh and Alder street sub station. "It has been a tremendous undertaking to Install this new machinery, erect a nine-story office building over it and keep the service running in the meantime," said President Josselyn yesterday. "It Is doubtful If such a condition of circum stances were ever before met with by any other electric company and credit is due the contractors and electricians for the satisfactory manner in which the work Is being carried on under such try ing circumstances. The electric company has expended to date upwards of tSSO.OOO In making these changes in Its system and It will cost approximately $500,000 more to complete the work. "The alternating and 600-volt direct cur rent service in the underground district win be abandoned and the Edison 220-voIt direct current service will be substituted. This is the most modem and up-to-date system in general use in the large cities of the United States. This makes it neces sary for all motors in the underground district to be changed by the consumer, except in a few Isolated cases, where 500 volt direct current Is used for elevators. That service will be continued temporarily until the elevator motors can be changed to the new type. The electric company is assisting the customer In the costly changing of his equipment to meet the new condition by paying him the differ ence in cost between the wholesale and retail price of the motors. All wires must enter the premises underground and through the sidewalk and up to the vari ous floors either on the outside or the inside of the building In iron pipe con duits instead of being served from poles through windows as at present." I and were trained by the wizard. Albert Schumann. A simple and direct state ment of what the marvelous animals do would scarcely be believed. One would think it a physical impossibility for a horse to raise a glass of water to its mouth and drink every drop of the con tents, nevertheless that is what these animals do. They also push each other about in Immense beer barrels; they walk on their hind feet and waltz to music One of them actually smokes a pipe. The trained animal features are one of I the wonders of this year's programme. There is a new elephant act in which ! a half dozen elephants telephone to each , other from one end of the main tent to the other. There are pigs that skip the rope and play on musical instruments, zebras, llamas and camels that do many wonderful things in one big act and a donkey that rides a velocipede. Then for good measure there Is the most ghastly of all thrillers, the automo bile double somersault and the act of the great Spanish wire dancer. Roblidello. The show will come here with an entire new outfit. The two performances will be given exactly as presented at the Madison-Square Garden in New York City. Such a hit did the show make there that In the five weeks of its stay 50.000 people were turned away unable to get seats. DID IE HAVE PLAGUE ? DEATH OF SCAVENGER ALARMS HEALTH OFFICIALS. TOT DIES, FATHER BLAMED Fred W. Metsner, a Barber, Is Ar rested on Murder Charge. That he starved his 5-months-old baby to death Is the charge lodged against Fred W. Mestner. a barber, living at 48S East Grant street- He was arrested yes terday on a charge of murder filed by Deputy Coroner James J. Dunning. This action followed complaints of neighbors after the death of the child three days ago. Neighbors asserted that the child's death was the result of ill-treatment at the hands of the father. A post-mortem examination Saturday showed that the child died from inflam mation of the stomach, which might have been caused by lack of proper food. The arrest of Mestner was due largely to Dr. Clayton Seeman, who attended the In fant. It was stated by a neighbor, stated Dr. Seeman. that the child was left alone In the attic one whole night without food and that the little one cried pite-ously. JIU JITSU EXPERT HERE Eddie Robinson, of Los Angeles, Slops on Way to Seattle. Eddie Robinson, of Los Angeles, box ing and -vrestling instructor and a JIu Jitsu combatant, stopped at the Nortonia Sunday night on his way to Seattle, where he is to meet Japanese jiu Jitsu experts. Mr. Robinson is boxing and wrestling in structor of the Los Angeles Y. M. C. A. He Is said to be one of the few boxers and wrestlers who ihave been successful in matches with Japanese skilled In JIu Jitsu. This success is attributed to the fact that he combines wrestling and boxing tactics and meets his Japanese opponents at their own game. His hard est bout was with Shasha Yokayama In Los Angeles last June. Thla opponent was over six-feet tall and weighed l.o pounds. He was defeated by Robinson who went In the ring at 164 pounds. SCHUMANN HORSES COMING World's Greatest Animal Act Is With Ringllng Brothers' Circus. The wonderful Schumann horses which electrified all Europe are at last being exhibited in America, and it was the en terprise of the Ringling Bros, that lias brought this about. Portland will have an opportunity of seeing thts act Tues day and Wednesday. August 24 and 25, those being the dates of the visit of the world's best show. The Schumann act Is the grandest achievement of all the animal trainers that have ever lived. It has no prece dent in history. The animals are under the direction of Professor Edward Wulff John McCarthy's Body Quickly Cre mated and Guinea Pigs Inocu lated With Germs From Man. City and county health officials expect to know by tonight whether or not John McCarthy died of bubonic plague. Mc Carthy died Sunday morning, and the results of the post-mortem examina tion convinced the authorities that he died either of plague or malignant typhoid fever. If it was the plague, they say the rats of the city must have had it for some time, as these ani mals almost always take it first. It be in? primarily a rat disease. Several guinea pigs have been inoculated with the bactlli. and if these take the disease it will prove conclusively that the plague exists. McCarthy was a scavenger, living on the west side of the Willamette River near the North Bank Railway bridge. He fed to ducks the city garbage he gathered. During several days' illness he was attended by Dr. R. J. Marsh. The symptoms of the disease puzzled the doctor and he called in City Health Officer Wheeler, County Health Officer Geary, State Health Officer Yenney and Marine Hospital Surgeon Magruder. A hasty post-mortem examination caused them some alarm, and they ordered the body cremated at once. Pr. Ralph Matson, who is making the bacteriological test in the laboratory of the State Board of Health, said last night that the organisms submitted to him had all the appearance of plague bactlli. "But It is impossible in every case to make a positive diagnosis on the appearance of the germ," he said. "A lar&e number of germs which might be foviid in the same locality resemble th.s germ very much. The proof will depend on the results of the inoculation. We expect to know positively tonight whether it was a plague case or not. But the inoculation might not take ef fect for 72 hours instead of 48. At the. time of the San Francisco plague scare Portland health officials made a thorough examination of ma,ny rats, and there was no plague then. But the rats have not been examined for nine months. Gophers and squirrels as well as rats will carry the disease." Dr. Wheeler said last night that he found no Indications of plague about McCarthy's premises. But they are be ing thoroughly disinfected, he said, and near-by premises are being cleaned up. Such quarantine measures as are neces sary will be taken.
