Rev. John E. H. Simpson Dies
at His Home at Estacada
Upon Retunr From Hospital.
Rev. John E. H. Simpson, for 28 years
rector of St Marks Episcopal church of
Portland, died suddenly at his home at
Estacada Saturday night after a linger
ing illness of many weeks. Removed
fronv Good Samaritan hospital Friday
when he insisted he was sufficiently re
covered to be returned home, the Rev.
Mr. 8impson found the trip too much for
his weakened constitution and he lived
onlv one day.
The Rev. Mr. Simpson ceased active
work at St. Marks September 1, 1918,
wheen his health failed him, and moved
to Estacada to seek health. He came
to Portland tn 1896 to succeed the Rev.
W. L. McEwan at St. Marks, which
was then at Nineteenth and Quimby
streets. He came from Grace Episcopal
church at Council Bluffs. Iowa. Previ
ously he had been rector at Wymore,
T?eb. Ho was educated for the pulpit at
Seabury Hall. Falrbault, Minn- being
graduated in 1891. and was ordained by
Bishop George Worthington of Omaha.
The Rev. Mr. Simpson was a fratlve
ot Ireland and came from a notable
family of churchmen, his father, grand
father and great grandfather being rec
tors in the Episcopal church of Ire
land. He leaves two brothers, also in
the church. He came to America in
1883.
Under the guidance of Rev. Mr. Simp
son St. Marks church in Portland en
Joyed a great growth. While he was its
active rector the church was moved to
Marshall street near Twenty-first, and.
soon became the center of Episcopalian
activity. It was always conducted as a
high church during Rev. Air. Simpson's
rectorship.
Late in 2918 the Rev. Mr. Simpson
gave up active charge of St. Marks; to
his assistant, the Rev. John G. Hattonv
and was named rector emeritus. He re
tained his connection with the Episcopal
school board of the diocese.

DESPITE HIGH COST
PRICES, CITY GETTING
MORE PROFIT ON FINES
Judge Rossman Figures City Is
f Netting; 90 Cents Out of
I Each Dollar Assessed.
, The present sort of 'crime committed
by those who frequent the city of Port
land, or who live within its borders, is
less expensive to handle in the municipal
court than the old sort which occurred
in the days when John Barleycorn lived
unbridled within ; the city limits. At
least Judge Rossman says it is 69 cents
cheaper now, even with the increased
cost of living and other expenses, to
send a msn to Jail or to abstract a
fine from him.
Judge Rossman entered upon his pres
ent duties in August, 1917. During the
year following Jie handled 13.092 cases
and imposed $86,223 in fines.' The
salaries of the Judge, two court clerks,
stenographers and city attorney and
the expenses of the court for the year
totaled $8900. leaving a profit balance of
$77,323. Thia means that out of every
dollar taken in by the court. 90 cents
was profit for the. city andNo cents was
used to defray the court expenses.
Dividing the total court expense, $8900,
by the number of cases, 13,092, the cost
per case to the city during the year
waa 68 cents. Under the administration
preceding, the court says the cost per
case was $1.37.
"Efficiency and economy," saya Judge
Rossman, "are my watchwords."
Rev. Mr. Simpson's death he immedi
ately " cancelled a series of Sunday en
gagements and hastened to the Simp
son home at Estacada.
Funeral. services will be held Tuesday
morning at 10:30 at St. Marks church
and will be the inspiration, for a notable
concourse of churchmen and others. Re
quiems will be sung at 7 and again at
7 :30 Tuesday morning. ' It is expected
that the body will be at the church this
evening-. Buriel will be made at River-
view cemetery. Flans to delay funeral
arrangements for the arrival of the son,
John E., Jr., who 'is with the navy In
the east, were withdrawn.
Californlana will vote July 1 on a
constitutional amendment providing for
$O,0O0.0O9 state highway bond issue.
"Old-Sight"
at 42
"Old-sight," properly speak
in;, is not tn eye defect, but
simply a natural loss of mus
cle power. This change usu
ally begins at about the age
of 42.
There ife many men and
women, in Portland between
40 and 45 ' years old who
would have much less trouble
with nervousness and head
aches if they would get new
glasses adapted to the present
strength of their sight. Glasses
five and ten years old do not
meet the eyes' changed re
quirements. Columbian
