within the provisions Of section 3697.
These fees are exacted for the privi-
lege of exhibiting stock, or entering the
speed ring. with the hope of getting a
premium in return. Hence there Is a
consideration for the exaction OF these
fees. The fees referred to in section
3697 are in the nature of voluntary con-
sideratiOns, or fees exacted simply for
the privilege of being members of the
association. 1t is very questionable
whether or not the membership fee Of
one dollar is fee imposed upon the
members of the association, within the
meaning of this section; for. by the
provisions of rule 1, above quoted. a
person may become a member by pay
ing one dollar to the association. and,
in turn, gets four single admission
tickets.
-Four single admission tickets would.
vidently, cost him dollar, even though
he did not get the membership tickets;
hence, the member has sacrificed moth
ing in order to become SUCH"
Attorney General Sheets stated that
it seemed that society had punched all
their receipts and counted them all as
voluntary subscriptions, or fees, impos-
ed on members, and that his opinion
would tend to curtail the amount of
money the organization would get out
Of the county treasury. Prosecutor
Day is anxious that the controversy be
settled by the courts as soon as pos
sible, IL the society is determined to
follow such plan.

session of the laudanum by strategy but
failed
The cause assigned by the nearly sue
cessful suicide for her deed, when she
came to herself at police headquarters,
was the usual story of a lovers quar-
rel Her companions, however, say
that the real cause was that she had
had trouble at home. Several weeks ago
she left her home and has been living
at the home of the Alley girl. For the
past two or three days she had been
living at a Ninth street house near the
Alley house. Her friends say that the
only cause she gave for wanting to die
was that she had been
DRIVEN AWAY FROM HOME.
After recovering her senses last night
she positively refused to be taken home
and expressed a wish to go to the hos
pttal instead.
Miss Burrell's parents live in COM
Portable home on East Ninth street
near East creek. Several months ago
her mother achieved some local fame
by emulating Carrie Nation and demol-
ishing an east end saloon The mother
said Tuesday morning that her daugh-
ter had fallen in with bad company in
the past few months and that humilia-
ton from the life she had been leading
was probably the cause of her attempt.
The mother visited her daughter at the
hospital Tuesday morning.
The young men who were with the
party disappeared as soon as possible
after the attempt was made. One of
them is said to be Charles Wolf and the
girls say that they do not know the
name of the other as they had just met
him during the evening.
The Burrell girl has, 1t is said, made
several attempts of the same kind in
the past few weeks and has repeatedly
said that she would keep on trying un-
til she was successful. No reason is
given for the Marks girls desire to die
and the fact that she changed her mind
and endeavored to prevent her COM
panion from carrying out her threat
seems to show, as she claims, that she
did not fully realize that she was in
earnest The others of the party, how
ever. say that they had hard time in
persuading her to change her mind.
Both refuse to say who bought the'poi-
son but said that 1t was procured at a
South Market street drug store.
