PUBLIC MORGUE CERTAIN TWO YEARS' CAMPAIGN' BY DAM MA SCII SUCCESSFUL. DR. Senate Bill Providing for Levy County Passed and Ready for Governor Signature. by With the passage of Senate bill 92, providing for salaries and fees in con nection with the maintenance of the public morgue, the measure is before Governor Withycombe. In all prob ability it will be signed and become law, thus ending successfully the two years fight waged by Coroner Dam masch, of Multnomah County, for an improvement In the conduct of his of fice without extra expense to the tax payers. Under the system formerly In vogue the office of Coroner was largely un der the control of the undertaking pro fession, and the public morgue was maintained In an undertaking estab lishment, while employes received ap pointments as deputy coroners. It was this condition, said Dr. Datnmasch. that first roused him to advocate a public morgue and to seek election to the of fice of Coroner. At that time assurance was given that the establishment of a public morgue would be accom plished without additional expense to the taxpayers. "The new bill makes it possible to carry out in every detail the pledge that I would establish a public morgue without additional taxation," said Cor oner Dammasch yesterday.

JITXEY Decision Acquits Jltmeura of Not Complying With Ordinance Retjrardlnn- Hourly Rate. By a decision of Municipal Judge Langguth yesterday, two Portland pa trolmen must pay drivers of the Chauf feurs' Union for the amounts due ac cording to the posted taxicab rates. If the policemen fall to comply. President Thlelke, of the union, declares that they will be arrested for defrauding. taxicab drivers. The sum involved is 20 cents. Patrolmen Miller and Wellbrook, in plain clothes, arrested W. E. Coovert and F, A. Vaughn, Jitneurs, charging, thm with "operating for a lesser charge." after they had made the round trip in the two machines. The officers testified that vaugnn charged his passengers 15 cents, when the charge, by the rate card, should have been 25 cents. Coovert. with whom they -next rode, had five passen gers. He charged them Za cents in au. when his charge should have been 35 cents, according to the plalnclothes men. Some of their fares boarded the cars at intermediate points, the jitneurs ex plained to the court, making it diffi cult to apportion exactly the expense of the trip. In the Coovert case, for example, three of the passengers rode for eight minutes, while the two offi cers rode the full 10 minutes, which is the minimum. . "Pay the difference," Judge Lang guth briefly Instructed the officers as he discharged the defendants. The pa trolmen refused. Strawberry Fete Dates Set. BOSEBURG. Or.. Feb, 15. (Special.)
