On the last day It was open for business he had $515 placed to his credit, th money having ueen derived from hunters' license fees. In all h had about 12. mm) of such fees In deposit with the Title concern. The county clerk divides his business among the banks, having cash on do-, posit in seven different banks.

Mr. Fielnn is In doubt as to the status of the 2,H00 deposited with the Title concern.

BY TROUBLE Convinced that there Is a grave ques tion as to the legality of proceedings in the police court in state cases where final Judgment is Involved during the legal holidays now being declared by Governor Chamberlain, Deputy District Attorney Dert Haney announced today that only preliminary proceedings would be taken up In the future. "After examining carefully the stat ute covering the matter I believe there Is a doubt as to the legality of sentenc ing defendants convicted in the police court," says Haney. "My interpretation of the law is that we uun without dan ger of reversal by the upper courts deal with preliminary matters where Judge Cameron Hits soil ly as a magistrate, but In cases going to final judgment ho be comes a court, and is to my mind pro hibited from acting during legul holi days. At any rate, there is a question, anjl I do not intend to take any chances." Haney's stand Is believed to be tho result of the announced Intention of an attorney to ask for a writ of habeas corpus in the federal courts in tho case of B. H. Hoekwald the "Rns meter thief" who was sentenced to six months Imprisonment several days ago by Judge Cameron on t he grounds that he is deprived of his liberty without du process of law.

SEARCHERS HAVE CLUE TO HAMANN'S RETREAT Confronted by conflicting opinions from the legal advisors of the stato and county officers, County Clerk Fields has decided to tilnv a safe gumo. For the present at least he will con tinue to refuse to record deeds or other papers involving the title to property. llecuuse of pressure brought to bear within the lust few days irom those who are anxious to transact business with the county clerk's office, the coun ty clerk yesterday requested uilvlee from the attorney-general and the district at torney. Uoth were prompt In reply ing, Attorney-Oeneral Crawford using tho telephone this morning to Inform Mr. Fields there is no impediment to opening hi" office ns usual. Later In the day came a written opinion from District Attorney Manning, containing the contrary advice. A mooting of the bar association to discuss the question has been consid ered, and Secretary Fisher today se cured authorisation from V. M. Cake president of tho association, to call tho meeting. Mr. Cake Is at Uaker City, and along with tho authorization to call th meeting came the expression of opinion that the clerk has no right to open his office for recording Instru ments. Because of the apparent di vision of sentiment among numbers of bur It has been decided to allow the matter to rest for a few duys. and no meeting has been called. Mr Mannings opinion reads as fol lows : "Replying to your favor of Novem ber 6, 1907, as to whether the county lerk should record Instruments at this time, I desire to say that section 100j of iteiilnger and Cotton's code pro vides that the county clerk shall kcop his office open for the transaction of business on every Judicial day from 8 to 12 o'clock In the forenoon, and from 1 to & o clock In the afternoon.

"This section appears to be the last enactment of the legislature on tho sub ject of non-JudlclaJ or holidays. I am, therefore, of the opinion that you aro not authorized toljoeelve or record In struments or do tfusiness as a county clerk on this day."

Miss Jacobs, according to the story she told Deputy District Attorney Ha ney yesterday afternoon, had trouble with the musical director of the com pany In Ban Francisco two weeks ago and was given notice to quit. Hor time expired yesterday and sho went to Hairy Frazee, tho owner, and asked for a ticket to Chicago, as It is the uni versal custom in theatrcdom to furnish transportation home to discharged ac tors. Frazee, according to the story, refused to give the ticket and Miss .iwih told him he would havo to do no; that she would make him do It, whereupon the gentleman Is reported to have said: "How will you make me do it? It Is a legal holiday here and you can't sue me and the company will be oujt of the state tomorrow.'' ' Miss Jacobs then sought out Mr. Ha ney, who was unauie, nowever, iu uu anything because of the hoHday. Con sequently the owner of the show went his way, leaving the lady to sing that pathetic song of tho Royal Chef, "I want to go back, oh please lake me back, to my dear old Chicago home." To make matters worse, Frazee let out the old manager of the company at the same time Miss Jacobs was re leased and W. A. Junker was put in charge. The old manager told Mr. Haney that It was the custom of all road companies to furnish transporta tion to released members, but he was unable to do. .anything for the girl. W. A. Junker, the new manager, told Haney that he had been given strict orders to furnish no transportation to Miss Jacobs, and that he knew nothing of the case and so was not in a position to assist her. Therefore Miss Jacobs Is now stopping at the Antlers, waiting for money from home. It is understood that Frazee did the samw thing with an other member of his company while playing in Denver not long ago. , Tom Doyle Stole Shoes. Tom Doyle was arrested by Detective Hellver this morning at Third and Burn- side streets on a charge of larceny. Tho detective saw Doyle "lift" four pair of shoes from the display-rack in front of tha Hub clothing store and the ar rest followed. The prisoner's record is rlow being investigated. Although a poker game was being conducted openly In a lodging-house at Second and Burnslde streets over Krlck son's saloon, the police were unaware of the existence of the illegal gaming until Robert Carlson, an unsuspecting logger, had been "plucked of 1130 Dy the wily gamesters last night. Then, upon the complaint of the vic tim of the unscrupulous gamblers, De tectives Baty and Maloney wore de tailed to make an Investigation with the result that eight arrests were made in a raid on the place in question. The police had no difficulty in gaining ad mittance, although the way was barred by a lormhiable strong door, similar to those used In the Chlneso quarter. In the municipal court this morning Attorney iogan entered pleas or guilty for the octette, and Judge Cameron im posed 120 sines apiece. Hugo Frltx, proprietor of the resort over which the gambling den was conducted, sublets the upper portion of the building to Sheridan as a lodging-house and was not aware of the existence of the game until the raid. Evidence tending to show that the distributive rates of the O, R. A N. In Oregon have not been materially re duced during the last 10 or 16 years. In spire of the efforts of the Jobbers and wholesale dealers to bring about this ohungo was brought out at this morn- lug hearing ofstlie chamber of com men representatives before the stat rullway commission. Incidentally, there was a lively tilt this morning between W. W. Cotton general counsel for' the railroad com pany. and J. N. Teal, attorney for the plaintiff. Mr. Cotton endeavored to produce tables pertaining to rates out side of the state of Oregon. Mr. Teal objected, on the grounds that the evi dence would have nothing to do with the case. Henry Hahn and L. Allen Lewis, wholesale grocers, and Thomas D. lion eyinun. wholesale hardware merchant. were the witnesses examined before the commission this morning. The testi mony of both Mr. Lewis and Mr. Hshn was practically tno same to tne r feet that the distributive rates were too high and that they had not been reduced materially during the last 15 'ears. All this time the dealers have icon working for a reduction but with out success. Hardship to Consumers. These rates, It was brought out, were considerably higher than prevailed out of many other cities In tho country and worked as a hardship not only to the wholesale dealer but to the con sumer as well. Mr. lloneyman said that he had been familiar with the railroad situation rel ative to freight rates out of Portland for the last lo years. He corroborate! the testimony as given by Mr. Lewis and Mr. Hahn concerning any material reduction in rates und said that the fforts of the Jobbers to tbls purpose had been practically without result". Mr. lloneyman said that what reduc tions in rates had been made did not redound to the benefit of the whole salers of Portland. In a way. he said, they have been almost restrictive in aiding the city shipping Interests. He did not believe the consumer had been benefited In the least. Questioned by Mr. Cotton relative to tne rates in errect out or wpoKane, .Mr. lionevmnn said they were not as low as the people In general Imagined. Basis fot mtg-olatlon. Mr. Honeyman said the Idea of the Jobbers in taking this action against the railroad company was for the pur pose of helping Portland and other coast cities. The desire of these deal ers, he said, was for a basis of rate regulation. This was desired particu larly so that goods could be shipped out of Portland at a rate which would give the wholesaler nnd the consumer the benefit of a lower distributive rato. After the examination of Mr. Honey man, Attorney Teal said to the com mission that he would like to have ta bles produced by the railroad company , which would show tha value of the O. R. A N. property In Oregon, and also the cost or the road. A statement show ing the actual cost of conducting the company's freight business in the state and a separate table relative to the In terstate business was also suggested bv Mr. Teal as possible evidence of throw ing some light on the question. Mr. Cotton objected to furnishing these details on the ground that they were Immaterial and that it would ne cessitate a great deal of extra work, and that the case would necessarily be delayed. Acting upon tho suggestion of Mr. Teal that the commission decide should it desire any of these tables, the matter will be taken under considera tion by the commission members. The oase will be continued tomorrow morning, beginning at 9 o'clock In the New Market building. A Vew Kemedy Wbiofa Quickly dnoes larplus Ties, Rearing th rsrson la JTormal Weight , and Oooft Xealth.
