The late City Recorder Edwin Gardner officiated at twenty-four of the wedding ceremonies, although possessing absolute- 1y no authority to join loving couples in the bonds of wedlock. The present City Recorder, J. J. Murray, years drove a bus in San Rafael, has of- ficlated at six weddings and is prepared to carry on the matrimonial business at the same old stand. Murray bases his au- thority to officiate at marriages on a queer interpretation of & recent decision of the Supreme Court of the State and arrogates to himself the fultl powers of a police Judge The opinion given yesterday by distin- shed attorneys was that the marriages solemnized by Gardner and Murray, each in his capacity as City Recorder of San Rafael, are illegal and that thirty couples are unlawfully living together.

Up to date he has performred six wedding ceremonies, which is considered to be a good record. The laws of California relating to the solemnization of marriage are distinct and clear. Section 70 of the Civil Code defines the officlals who are empowered to offici- ate at weddings. The section, amended by the last Legislature, reads as follows: Marriages may be solemnized by either a Justice of the Supreme Court, a Judge of the ey & DRor Twa MErY | 75 e T E sl oveT oy | , \ i > i CITY RECORDER OF SAN RAFAEL, WHO WITH HIS PREDECESSOR.IN OFFICE PERFORMED WITHOUT LE- GAL AUTHORITY THIRTY MARRIAGE CEREMONIES IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS. COUPLES JOINED IN WEDLOCK BY THEM ARE PLACED IN UNENVIABLE POSITIONS. — — Superfor Court, a Justice of the Peace, Police Judge, priest or minister of the gospel of any denomination. The amendment made by the Legisla ture was to add the words “Police Judge’ to the original section of the code. The office of Police Judge is one created by law and the duties of the office are clear- ly_designated. The laws of California also define the duties of a Recorder in cities of the fifth and sixth class, when acting as Judge of a “Recorder’s court.” Scope of Recorder’s Powers. Under the law of 1883, article 6, sections 06 and 807 provide for the creation of a “Recorder’s Court” in cities incorporated in the fifth and sixth classes. The article mentions what civil and criminal cases | may be heard in the Recorder’s Court, | and says: The Recorder shall be the Judge of the Re- corder’s Court and shall have the powers and perform the duties of a magistrate. In other words, the Recorder ‘has the | powers of a Justice of the Peace only as refers to civil and criminal actions and trials. In the marriage certificates issued by Murray this month he signed each one as follows: “J. J. Murray, City Recorder, Ex-Officio Police Judge of the City of San Rafael.” Murray is not a Police Judge of San Rafael or any other place and exists as such only in his own estimation. His ex- planation for arrogating to himself the rights of a Police Judge and to perform wedding ceremonies was given by him yesterday when he was asked for some information as to the right of the Recorder of San Rafael to officlate at a wedding. Murray’s Interpretation of Law. “I feel that T have the right to officiate at marriages,” he said, “but I have al ways believed that the marriages solem: ized by Gardner as Recorder of San of the popu- larity of aur | K glasses,because weknow they deserve it. It took years of study and prac- i f tical experience to pro- duce them, and their ex- tenstve use is a substan- tial proof that those who wear them find them ! beneficial. : STANDARD OPTICAL GO. 27 Keamey St~ San Francisco} fael were illegal. The amended section of the Civil Code gives the power of offi- clating at a mnrriage to Jofice Judges. I am:a Police Judge.” ‘When asked by what authority he claimed the power of a Police Judge, Murray replied: % recent decision of .the Supreme Court of California has settled that point. In a decision written by Chief Justice Beatty the following appears; ‘But a Re- corder’s Court" is none thetless a Police Court because' it happens to have been called by apother name.| The character of a court i§ determined, not by its name, but by the nature of its jurisdiction and functions, in which respect the Record- er’s Courts of cities organized under the general municipal corporation act cannot be distinguished from other Police Courts.” " i The decision quoted by Murray appears in the California Reports, 8, page 624, and refers to a case where a man was con- victed in the Recorder's Court of Po- mona, Cal., for violating a city ordinance and fined ,_or to serve in jail at the rate of $2 per day. An appeal on a writ of habeas corpus was_taken to the Supreme Court, but it was dismissed. It was con- tended by the petitioner that a Recorder did not have the power to apply that sec- tion of the Penal Code by which Police Judges are empowered to impose fines or the alternativé of imprisonment in default of payment. Murray Not Quite Sure. Because the Supreme Court decided that a Recorder’s Court may be looked upon as a Police Court in the matter of imposing alternative imprisonment in de- fault of a fine Murray has jumped to the conclusion that he has all the powers of a Police Judge and for that reason will accept fees and solemnize marriages. He' admitted yesterday, however, that he was a little bit shaky in his beliet, and said he would ask the Attorney General of the State for an opinion in the matter. That the marriages solemnized by the late City Recorder Gardner. were illegal there is no possible doubt. He aid not even have the slim excuse, put forward by Murray, that he was a Police Judge, for it was not until this year that Police Judges were authorized to officiate at nuptials. @ iriviviviieivieinfieieeiriiniedeieiih @ SLAVE GIRLS SMUGGLED IN FROM OLD MEXICO Fifty-Eight Coolie Laborers Landed at Ensenada From Victoria and Cross the Boundary. Customs officials received information yesterday that the steamer Curacao on June 27 landed fifty-elght Chinese immi- grants at Ensenada from Mazatlan. The immigrants had been landed at Vie- toria, B. C., in transit to Mexico. They thus escaped paying the Canadian head tax of $100 each. They were then taken to Mazatlan, thelr ostensible destination, where they boarded.the Curacao and were taken to Ensenada, about forty-five miles south of the American border. From this point it would be easy to cross into the United States. Many similar shipments of Chinere im- migrants have been reported and it fs evi- dent that the smuggling of coolie laborers into the United States has been going on in this way for a long time. Among the fifty-eight mentioned are sev- eral young slave girls destined for San Francisco. By this time they have prob- ably entered the United States. —————— The Crystal Hot Sea Baths.

It’s selling such qualities as this at prices like this that has given our downstairs store such prominence The Magdeburg Fire Insurance Com- pany of Magdeburg has reinsured all its risks in the United States and will with- draw from business ia this country. The Springfleld Fire and Marine Insurance Company has written the reinsurance. This important change in insurance ad- justment was much discussed among un- derwriters yesterday. , Well founded ru- | mors were bruited about in the large of- fices, tut positive information was lack- ing. Late in the afterncon Gutte & Frank, tne managers of the Pacific Coast depart- ment of the Magdeburg Company, re- celved advices from the New York office informing them of the consummation of the negotiations and confirming the ru- mor that the Pacific Coast territory was included in the deal. The reinsurance of the Magdeburg risks is a part of the recent general movement of foreign fire insurance companies to withdraw from the American field. The competition with domestic companies has become so keen and rates have been re- duced to a degree that any unusual losses, by such catastrophes as the Jacksonville fire, have cut disastrously into the profits and foreign companies have lately wi of -the United States, particularly the southeastern. The Magdeburg Company is the first to withdraw from the entire territory where competition with Ameri- can companies is met. Notification From New York. “The Magdeburg Fire Insurance Com- pany of Magdeburg,” sald Commodore Isi- dor Gutte of Gutte & Frank last night, “and its ‘pup,’ the Magdeburg Fire Insur- ance Company 'of New York, are out of it entirely. We were notified this evening. The Springfleld Fire and Marine Insur- ance Company writes reinsurance on all the risks of these two companies, and their business in America will be ter- | minated and all branches and agencies withdrawn. The New York company, which was formed by the German com- pany to write insurance in States where there is discrimination against _foreign companies, wiil, of course, be disincor- porated as soon as its affairs can be closed.” Many changes in local insurance circles will result from the withdrawal of the Magdeburg Company. The territory for Which Gutte & Frank are managers in- cludes _California, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevad Utah, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. The com- pany did a large business on the coast, and this portion of its American territory gave satisfactory returns, so much so that those who knew of the negotiations did not anticipate that it would be in- cluded in the agreement between the companies. The premiums were largely increased last year by Gutte & Frank. and the loss ratio incurred was only 42 per cent. Douglass B. Watson has been the city agent for the Mngdeburg Ccmguy and S. Figel & Son and Y. D. Ehrhardt the local_solicitors. The withdrawal of the Magdeburg agencles and the direction of the efforts of their former managers and agents into new channels will mean a considerable shaking up -in local insur- circles. *eorge D. Dornin s Pacific Coast man- er for the Springfleld Fire and Marine ;gsuunce Company, and George W. Dornin is assistant managor. No definite notification of the reinsurance of _the Magdeburg risks had been received at the local Springfield offices at a late hour esterday afternoon, It was known, Kowever, that negotiations had been pending.
