WIDESPREAD - LLEGALITY OF MARRIAGES City Recorders for Years Have Solemnized Nuptigls. " In Every Part of the State the Petty Officials Thus Officiate. Pl EREY Suprefhe Court Has Never Passed Upon a Vital Point That Might , Disrupt Thousands of Homes. P L8 The exclusive news published in The Call yesterday that thirty illegal mar-| riages had been performed in the city of San Rafael by the present Recorder and his predecessor within the last thirty months has caused a veritable sensation. Members of the legal profession in this city are especia interested in the sub- ject, which was a topic of considerable discussion yesterday. In the course of investigation as to the | power of a City Recorder to solemnize marriages it was learned that officials of that class throughout the State have for wears officiated at nuptials, in consequence of which there are perhaps thousands of couples living together in unlawful rela- belleving that in be- | ing ¥ Recorder they have | fully complied with the law. A prominent attorney said yesterday that for many years claims have been made by City Recorders that they were | in fact Justices of the Peace and conse- quently were authorized to solemnize mar- riages. Judge St. Sure, formerly City Rec- order of Alameda, was asked yesterday if he had ever performed any marriage cere- monies. He said: “During the time I was City Recorder of Alameda I solemnized a few marriages. I know that my predecessors in office had always done so and that it has been the detice with City Recorders in other to officiate at marriages. I have ci always been of opinion ¢nat the law creat- | ing the office of City Recorder clothed the holder with the same powers as possessed | by a Justice of the Peace. A Justice of | the Peate is one of the officials designated | 10 perform the marriage ceremony andf 1 believed that a Recorder had. that| right.” Opinions by Attorneys. Attorney Garret McEnerney was asked for his opinion on Friday as to the right of a City Recorder to officiate at a mar- riage, and the distinguished legal practi- tioner, after ‘an examination of the laws the State, said he did not think a Re- 1 ssed any such power. | t the office of Attorney E. S. Pillsbury it was learned from his associate, Mr. Madison, that the laws of California were c r on the subject. In the opinion of JMr. Madison only those officials desig- | hated to perform the marriage ceremony | could do so, and that mo construction of | Jaw or decisions could clothe a City Re- corder with the full powers of a Police Judge or a Justice of the Peace. The contention of J. J. Murray, City Re- | corder of San Rafael, who is one of those | engaged in the business of marrying lov- | ing couples, is that he is ex-officio_Police Judge of San Rafael and that he officiates at marriages in that capacity and not as City Recorder. Two important questions thus arise for decision_ by the Supreme Court of the State. In the face of that section of the Civil Code designating the officials who | shall solemnize marriages, are City Re-| cord empowered to do so by any con- struing of decisions of the Supreme Court? Duties of Recorder Defined. The municipal corporation act of 1853, in creating cities of the fifth and sixth also provided for Recorders’ and Recorders to preside therein. n 806 of article § of the law says: A Recorder's Court is hereby established in city, to be held by the Recorder of such £a1d Recorder's Court shall have jurisdiction, c with the Justices' Courts, of alf | dings, civil and criminal, | the corp limits of such city, | be tried in such Justices | lusive jurisdiction of | he recovery of any fine, penalty, | ibed for the breach of any founded h cl obligations 3 y created by any ance, and of all prosecutions for any vio- | of any ordinan The rules of practice | &nd mode of proceeding in said Recorder's | Court shall be the same as are or may be pre- | by ecribed cases law in Justices’ Courts in I appeals may be taken to the Supe- rior Court the county in which said city may be situated, from all judgments of said Re- corder's Court, in like manner and with like | effect @as in cases of appeals from Jusuces‘l‘ Coprts ection 807—The Recorder shall be Judge of | the Recorder's Court, and shall have the pow- | e and perform the dutis may administer and cert of a magistrate.

Claims Power of a Justice. Recorder Murray of San Rafael City claimed on Friday that a decision of the Supreme Court gave to his office, not only the full power of a Police Judge, but also of a Justice of the Peace. The decision | meationed by Murray is that in the Cali- fornia Reports, 88, page 417, in the case of Dante R. Prince vs. the City of Fresno. Prince was City Recorder of Fresno and had collected fines in cases where the city | ordinances and State laws had been vio- | lated. He claimed that the fees collected | by him in cases where State laws had been violated belonged to him, as he was 2 Justice of the Peace, and the City of Fresuo brought suit to compel Prince to pay the money into the county treasury. The portion of the decision of the Su- preme Court on which Recorder Murray 2and_others base their claim to be consid- ered Justices of the Peace is as follows: A city Recorder possesses the right to act as & Justice of the Peace, and is, to all intents and purposes, a Justice of the Peace as to all criminal matters coming before him under the Penal Code, as distinct from city ordinances, end when acting under that code he has au- thority 1o charge the county and receive for his services such fees ac are allowed by law to Justices of the Peace in a township of a county Tor itke services. Recorder’s Claims Are Absurd. A well-known attorney was asked for s cpinion last evening as to whether it was possible for this portion of the deci- sion to be construed as giving the full mwer(si of a Justiee of the Peace fo a City rder. “I don't see how it can be done,” he said. “The decision says clearly that the Re- corder has the right to act as a Justice | of the Peace only as to certain criminal | matters. Now, a Justice of the Peace is | authorized to solemnize marriages. This authority is given by special enactment of ihe Legislature. It is absurd to say that because the Supreme Court has decided | that a City Recorder can be looked upon as a Justice of the Peace in certain crim- inal actions he is therefore empow- ered to do all that a Justice of the Peace is authorized to do. “The absurdity of such reasoning can be easily shown. The law creating the of- fice of City Recorder says ‘the Recqrder shall be Judge of the Recorder's Cburt | and shall have the powers and perform the duties of a2 magistrate.” Let us see who are Magistrates under the law and what the duties of a Magistrate are. The Penal Code, section 807, says: ‘A Magis- trate is an officer having power to issue & warrant for the arrest of a person charged with a_public offense.’ Section says that the following persons are ¥ mstratés: ~Justices of the Supreme Judges of the Superior Court, Jus- 0 Hale's. e e e e e e i . i mines an want most. regular pric S Of fine soft flounce and lace and deep $3.

On that Jine of reasoning a City Recorder could assume the powers of a Superior Court Judge, of a Justice of the Supreme Court, and issue writs of habeas corpus or man- damus.”" Just how many marriages have been solemnized throughout the State by City Recorders can only be learned by a care- ful inspection of the marriage records kept in the records of the varfous coun- ties of the State. The office of City Re- corder was established in 1883 and it is safe to assume that many hundreds.of marriages have been solemnized by these ficials since that time. ¢ the Supreme Court should decide that City Recorders have no right to solemnize marriages, the effect will be disastrous to the households whose heads they have joined in wedlock. —_— SAN RAFAEL’S CRANK AGAIN IN EVIDENCE Mysterious Prowler Stops S.

To-night the man was discovered at the home of Albert Boyen. He; was on the ront porch, reclining in a hammock. Vis- itors approaching the house, he sprang off the veranda and jumped over the back Tt the corner of Shafer and Fourth streets he ran into S. Herzog, whom he seized by theilapels of his coat. After peering into his face, he said: “I don’t want you,” and continued running. The officers were notified and a_thor- ough search was made, but the myste- rious person could not be found.

Twenty jtallans who came here cn the Homer sald they were arrested on the slightest pre- text and fined $5 each. The costs of court, which went toward paying Whipple's =al- ary, amounted to $25 and $30 in each case. In his last encounter Whipple ran up against John Bull, and when last heard from he was awaiting with trembling to hear what Washington has to say about thé matter. “It all happened on July 4,” said Captain H. Thwing of the steamship John 8. Kim- ball yesterday. ‘“‘Commissioner Whipple was full of enthusiasm and didn't: care who knew it. ere were a number of vessels in port, among them beirg the British steamer Glenora and the Ameri- can gunboat Concord. In honor of Inde- pendence day the Britisher flew the union Jack and had up some other bunting, while the Concord dressed ship. When ‘Whipple saw the Britisi flag waving in an American port he got very angry, and going aboard the Glenora ordered tne cap- tain to haul it down. The captain refused, and then the Commissioner ordered Dep- uty United States Marshal Sullivan to ar- rest the audacious Britisher and then haul ‘down the flag himself. “Rather than go to jail the captain hauled down the flag, but as soon as ‘Whipple was gone he jumped into the steamer’s dingey and was pulled out to sloop yacht Great Republic, in which Cap- tain Howard Blackburn sailed from loucester, Mass., last month, has arrived |. ere, the passage having ied thirty- eight days. i ‘the Concord. I don't know what Captain Harry Knox said when he heard of Vghl le’s action, but I do know it did not take im very long to act. The British captain was not five minutes aboard the gunboat gunboat for the Glenora. Ae soon as the steamship was reached the officer and two of the men went aboard, and in a few minutes the flag hauled down because of :Vh;npla'a thrzats was at the masthead galn. “By this time everybody in Unalask: was aware of what had happened. wm“z- Ele hag told everybody he met that while e was Commissioner no flag but the Stars and Stripes should fly at\Unalaska on Independence day, and then related how he had made_the Britisher haul down the Union Jack. When the Concord’s men went aboard the steamship the Commis- sloner and everybcdy else knew something was going to happen. Then the British flag was run up again, and everybody knew Whipple had blundered. How bad the blunder was everybody guessed when the Concord ran the British flag up at her fare .and began firing a_ national salute. In this way Captain Knox did everything in his power to make amends for the blunder and there will be no inter- national difficulties in consequence, but everybody up north seems to think that Commissioner Whipple has not heard the last of it.” Captain Higgins of the steamer Ruth is solng to lay his case before the United tates courts on his return, and Whiople may have to come here to defend him- self. He was appointed to his present po- sition by Judge Noyes of Nome, who is tnder orders to explain some high-handed acts of his own to the Circuit Court of Appeals. Vegetables Sent From Idaho.

W., WASHINGTON, July 20.—Trustin | implicitly in Russia’s professions, the | Unitea States is gatisfied that as soon as conditions in Manchuria permit she will | evacuate that country. The officials and diplomats representing { the nations antagonistic to Russia admit that the moment is not auspicious for the | ] | withdrawal of the troops of the Czar from Northern China. The decree said to | have been jssued by the Chinese Emperor, ditecting his plenipotentiaries in Peking tc suggest that Russia should relinquish Manchuria, has not been communicated i to the State Department, but the authori- i ties regard it as a move on the part of | the Chinese Government to ascertain for { its own infermation the purposes of Rus- sla;iwith respect to Manchuria and Mon- golia. | At the time China rejected the Russian | proposals regarding the evacuation of the | territory now occupied, M. de Giers, the | Russian Minister, informed the Chinese | plenipotentiary that Russia would not fur- ther discuss the matter. Authorities here say that it s natural that Russia should desire guarantees for the protection of her railroad and other interests in Man- churia, and they expect that the evacua- tion of the territory will only occur after an agreement of some kind has been ex- ecuted with Chira. The negotiation of this agreement will be a matter which will be of irterest to. the entire world and may result in a re- vival of the strained internationa! rela- | tions of iast spring. Provided Russia does not attempt to seek preferential rights, it is not believed that any objection will be made. Japan, so far as known here, does not contemplate any steps looking to the application of pressure upon Russia to withdraw- until negotiations in Peking are completed. When the questions under dis- moment for bringing the Manchurian question to the front will have arrived. ‘Healer” Schlatter Fined.
