DR. WALK MAY
NOT RETURN
Rumors That Trinity
Church Will Soon Be
Pastorless.
There Has Been a Little Rift
Within the Lute for Some
Time.
And Now the Rector Is Granted a
Holiday That May Be In
definite.
There is a rumor to the effect that when
Rev. George Edward Walk, rector of Trin
ity Episcopal Chinch, gees East on his
coming vacation he will sever forever his
connection with the oldest Episcopal con
gregation in this City.
The vestrymen and prominent num
bers of the congregation, who have known
for some time that there was a little rift
within the lute, all refuse to discuss tbe
question. The vestrymen say that their
official position seals their lips, and those
members of the congregation who are in
the confidence of the vestry declare that
anything they would say would be un
official, and, therefore, valueless.
"Mr. Walk has been granted a two
months' vacation. Ho intends to go to
Kansas City with his family. Further
than that I can say nothing," said Major
Hooper, the senior warden, when ques
tioned on the subject.
Major Hooper refused either to affirm
or deny the rumor that the two months'
holiday was really a conge of indefinite
intention. "It is a sahject I prefer not to
discuss," be said.
Wulter E. Deane, the junior warden,
was as reticent as his senior in office.
"Ail I ara at liberty to say," he said, "is
tl at Mr, Walk has been granted a two
months' holiday. Regarding the rumor
tbat be will not return I prefer to » ipress
no opinion."
Other members of the vestry were
equally reticent. They felt that their of
ficial position sealed their lips, so they
said.
"As a member of the vestry I can make
no statement whatever," said Grant Boyd.
"Mr. Walk has been granted a two
months' vacation; there my communica
tion on the subject must end."
Montgomery Gad ley, an ex-vestryman
an 1 an active member of the congrega
tion, declared tbat holding no official po
sition na aid not feel at liberty to make
official statements. "Anything concern
ing the rector is a family matter belong
ing to the church and has no interest for
the general public." he said, and several
other members of the congregation spoke
to the same effect.
It is pretty generally understood that
all has not been smooth sailing for Rev.
George Edward Walk for tome time.
Just what the trouble is the vestry and
the members of iho congregation in their
confidence are anxious not to make public.
Mr. Walk i. a genial, jovial man, who
has many friends, both in and out of the
congregation.
He has plenty of intellectuality, so his
pnri-hioners say. preaches' good sermons
and looks every inch a priest; but, in
spite of all these qualifications ior the part
of rector to one of the largest and richest
churches in town, there has been a .row
ing feeling lately that a change wouid be
for the cood of both pastor and flock.
Kumor says that at the lastvestrv meet
ing this change was resolved on. Mr. Walk,
who has labored for five years at Trinity
Church, had applied some time ago for a
two months' holiday. He was given to ■
understand after the last meeting, so the j
story runs, that he might have the vaca
tion, and that if it prolonged itself in
definitely no murmurs would coma from
the vestry of Trinity Church.
In order not to injure the rector's
chances of securing another good living it ■
was to be tacitly understood that Mr. i
Walk was merely going away on a holi
day. While making no affirmations, not
one of the members of the vestry who
was seen yesterday denied that the holi- j
day would be considerably longer than its :
ostensible length.
When Mr. Walk first assumed the cure '
of Trinity Church some objections were j
made to bis having come ir.lo Episco- !
ralianism from another denomination. J
He was formerly one of the sect known as
Christians. The objection does not ap- 1
pear to have been lasting, however, for '
rumor does not in any way couDle Mr. I
Walk's former tenets with his extended
leave of absence.
FOR SWEET CHARITY.
Convention of the Ladies' Aid
Society Now in
Session.
A Very Successful Entertainment
Given in Metropolitan
Temple.
In Loyola Hall. Tenth and Market
streets, the second day's session of the
Grand Council of the Catholic Ladies' Aid
Society was opened yesterday. The ladies
hold their sessions behind closed doors.
The m-eting was presided over by Mrs.
Margaret Dean and the rollcall showed
that twenty-four councils of the society
were represented. A letter was received
from Bishop Montgomery at Los Angeles,
regretting bis inability to attend the con
vention and expressing bis good wishes
and hopes for a successful gathering.
Other communications of a similar nature
were received from the Young Ladies' In
stitute, Rev. Father Lawrence Serda of
Temescal and Rev. Father Cassin of Santa
Rosa.
Much of the forenoon ses«ion was taken
up in discussing an amendment to article
II of section 9of the constitution. The
section as amended provides that hereafter
the executive committee shall prepare and
preseut estimates for tho expenses of the
en«uing year.
The afternoon session was largely taken
up making minor changes in the ritual of
the organization. Tbe matter of found
ing a girls' home, somewhat on the prin
ciples of the Y. M. C. A., was also taken
up, and the plan was entered into heart
ily, tbe sum of $250 being subscribed as a
starter in the work. *
In the evening an entertainment was
given in Metropolitan Temple, which was
highly successful in every detail. The
exercises were opened with an overture
by Grennan's orchestra, after which Dr.
Rottanzi rendered a barytone solo in his
best style. Mayor Phelan then made a
few remarks, in which he complimented
the ladies on the charitable work which
they are so successfully pursuing. He was
fo'lowea by his Grace the Most Rev. P. W.
Riordan, who confined his remarks
mainly to charity, and expressed bis ap
probation of true charity, as exemplified
not only in words and handsome gifts but
in' noble, self-sacrificing works, such as
are carried on each day by the members of
the society. ......
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1597.
CONTRACTORS AT
WAR OVER LUMBER
Another of the Old-Fash
ioned Rows Over Har
bor Supplies,
Harbor Commissioners Ignore
the Protest of the Pacific
Pine Lumber Company.
Wharf Timbers Will Be Paid for at
"Market Bates"— Progress of the
Perry Depot Building.
The old row among the umber-dealers
who for years have fougui for the lucra
tive business of the water front took up
most of yesterday's ess-ion of the Board
of Harbor Com million ers.
The row was a continuation of the one
started at the previous meeting of the
THE SCHOONER DRIFT FROM SEATTLE,
On a voyage around the world, arrived yesterday afternoon after a rather stormy
passage from the Sound. Its owner is its master, Captain Farmer, who has
taken along as passengers on the long pleasure trip his wife and his daugh
ter, Miss Olive Farmer. Some, friends are. expected to accompany the
captain on the further voyaging. Captain Evans was some years ago an
Oakland boatbuilder and since then he has resided in Seattle. He has very
indefinite ideas about the continuation of the voyage in his trim little vessel
and his plans will develop during his stay in this port. The Drift is a hand

board, when the Pacific Pine Lumber
Company first objected to the board pay
ing the bills, amounting to several thou
sand dollars, for July and August, pre
sented by the J. E. Blade Lumber Com
pany, which holds the current contract
for lumber supplies with the board.
The Pacific P-ne Lumber Company had
submit ted one of the four unsuccessful
bids rejected on March 9 last and the mat
ter recurred before the board in the early
reading of the formal protest of the Paci
fic Pine Lumber Company to the auditing
of the pending bills of the J. E. Slade
Lumber Company.
The opinion of Attorney Ford was reaL
It was to the effect that the board was
bound to pay current market prices for
the lumber it bought whatever those
prices might be and that those trices were
to be discovered by the board. «
The Pacitic Pine Lumber Company was
present by both Manager Stewart and its
attorney. W. S. Jordan, ami these eentle
men proceeded to warm things up. When
the farther formal protest of the Pacific
Pine Lumber Company was read Attorney
Jordan made a speech, the gist of which
| was that, the orginal bid of the Pacific
; Pine Lumber Company, though rejected,
was still on file, and until withdrawn was
effective as an offer to supply lumber for
at lea t thirty days at $7 40. The inter
ence was that if the bmrd would assume
that the old offer of March 9 began to
operate on July 1, when the price of lum
ber went up, it would follow tbat tbe
board should not pay more than $7 40 a
thousand until the b d, though rejected
on March 9, was formally withdrawn.
President Coition took a very .active
part in the two hours' debate over the
lumber fight, and as often as could get in
lie asserted tnat the Pacific Pine Lumber
Company was trifling with the board,
that it. protest was simply an attempt to
cinch a successful competitor with whom
I it was at war, and that irrespective of any
j moral or other grounds the board was
[ legally bound to pay "current market
I prices," wnatever they might have been,
j after July 1. ' '
The representative of the Slade Lumber
j Company was asked by Mr. Coin on if he
j could speedily produce competent testi
mony that the ruling prices of lumber
during July and August agreed with his
bills, and nine, minutes alter he put on
his hat be came back with representatives
of five big wholesale lumber firms who
eagerly testified In -ucc.ssion that during
July and August the j.bbing price of
lumber was $10 a thousand, and all of
them asserted thai, they themselves had
i bonght at that price of the Pacific Pine
Lumber Company. ■**»**%,
The upshot of the wrangle was that the
lumber bills were approved, and tbe pro
test was ignored by being "filed," on the
ground that it was insincere and a mere
old-fashioned contractors' row.
The monthly report of Architect E. R.
Swain on the progress of tne ferry build
ing showed that the erection had been
carried on continuously during the month.
The Risdon Iron Works have commenced
and neatly completed the steel work on
the front portion of the southerly wing of
the building. It will take about a week
to finish it. and this will complete the
structural steel work except staircases, etc
The masonry work is proceeding
rapidly. The stone work is almost
finished lon the central bay and granite
oases and sandstone work for the front
portion of the southerly end of the build
ing. The progress of the roofing and gal
vanized work is satisfactory. The rear

slope of the roof over the waiting-rooms is

ARE TROUBLING
OVER BARTLETT
Craven Lawyers Say His
Bondsmen Are Friends
of Charley Fair.
Thereby Hangs an Untold Tale
and an Investigation Will
Be Made,
The Lady Defendant's Attorneys
Will Dig Up a New Point
if It Exists.
Another circumstance said to be preg
nant with meaning to the attorneys rep
resenting Mr-. Nettie Craven in her battle
for a portion of James <*'. Fair's millions
is listed in the repertory of circumstances
surrounding that famous case.
It pertains to tbe release of C. S. M.
Bartlett, who, in an endeavor to please
both plaintiff and defendant, found him
self in the toil.— behind prison-bus with
a charge of perjury resting over nis head.
It was not the release of the prisoner
that astonished the Craven attorneys, it
was tho circumstance of bondsmen appear
ing and giving him his freedom, who, if
the statements ot the attorneys represent
ing the lady defendant are correct, are not
only friends of Charley Fair and Chief of
Police Lees, but are bosom friends; friends
i bound together by a tie that naught can
■■ break. Robert T. Brodek, proprietor of
| the Baldwin barber-shop, and Joseph Har
; vev, well known in the world of sports
are the luckless Bartleti'.t bondsmen.
When Attorney Ruef heard that Bart

street on bonds furnished by Brodek and

tbat fact to Judge Dcnson, who is asso

"Attorney Ruef has more facts regard

WERE GRANTED
FURTHER TIME
Olympic's Nominating Com
mittee Were Unable to
Report.
Will Soon Be Out of Its Pres
ent Very Unpleasant
Position.
A Large and Enthusiastic Gathering
of the Members Take
Action.
If Irs: evening's meeting of the Olym
pic Club is an illustration of the earnest
ness with which the members intend to
take bold of the club'- difficulties,
within a short time this popular athletic
organization will be liftod from its pres
ent rut and raised to the position it occu
pied some years age.
The appeal sent out by the board of di
rectors, reauesting members to attend the
meeting and lend their assistance in de
vising ways and m.ans to formulate a
ticket, was not wasted.
Long before the meeting was called to
order the chairs in tbe gymnasium were
filled, and those unable to find seats re
clined in picturesque attitudes on the
mat?, listening with great interest to the
lively debates.
President George A. Newhali, as chair
man, opened the meeting, and in a few
words explained to the members that it
was called at the request of the nominat
ing committee, who was unable to formu
late a ticket. The committee was then
called on to report, and W. S. Taylor arose
and told the members that everything pos
sible had been done to prepare a suitable
ticket. He stated that they had inter
viewed a great many gentlemen and ten
dered tliem nominations, but were politely
but firmly refused. As t'.e committee was
unable to rejort he asked that it snonid
be given a month's time or discharge it
and appoint another. Mr. Taylor slated
that a great deal of opposition had been
shown the committee, and it would there
fore not report until it was able to prepare
a ticket that would ba satisfactory to the
club. ~^C
Upon motion the nominating commit
tee was granted thirty days' further time
to report ana a vote of confidence was
al*o extended to them.
George T. Folsom, speaking about the
bonds, said lie could not understand why
twenty wealthy men of this City, having
the interest of such a noble organization
at heart, could not write their check for
$2000 each at low interest, but good se
iurity.
Mr. Folsom's remarks about the club's
bonds attracted Mr. Is'ewhall's attention
and he said : "In regard to the financial
situation, this club has met its interest
every time the coupons have been pre
sented. The club's standing to-day is
better than it has been for the last three
years. The greatest hardship the club bas
to deal with is the collecting of dues. AU
the board of directors need to run this
club is $6000 income. They bay«. suc
ceeded in cutting down expenses between
$600 and $300 and have practically put the
club on a good looting."
BARNES WAS ANGRY.
Figel Put on the Stand to Tell
What He Did the Night
of June 1,
His Cross-Examination Brings About
a Heated Argument Between
Counsel.
A slight stir was created in Judge Camp
be Ts court yesterday morning when
Theodore A. Fig?l was called to the stand
to testify in his own'behalf. In compli
ance with the law his Honor notified the
defendant before he was sworn that he
could not be compelled to be a witness
against himself, but that if he cho**e to
testily any evidence he might give could
ie used either for or against him should
the case go to the Superior Court.
The cross-examination was conducted
by Mr. Ach, who Was interrupted hy fre
quent objections from General Barnes.
Ach withdrew several questions to avoid
argument, buton objection to a question
as to who nad charge of the business of
Hoffman, Alexander & Co,, on January 1,
189*3, a lengthy argument ensued. Mr.
Ach, in an earnest speech, claimed that
in the eros-examination he had the right
to find out about the relations existing
between the defendant and Mr. Hoffman,
and stated that he had thought he should
be allowed to question Fi*_el as to the
forgeries and embezzle ments. He said
that he did not believe the statement of
the witness that be had returned to the
store tbat night to get a battle of ink and
that he hoped to prove it ".-J&W-I
General Barnes replied angrily that the
speech of Mr. Ach was lull of egotism and
vanity, and that he had snorted and
puffed about what he proposed to do in a
manner to make tbe stomach of Humanity
boil. Tne fenera! continued saying that
Ach had abused the witness like a dog,
and that all through the case he had used
methods which should not be used in the
prosecution of a cage.
Cooling down somewhat the general
cited cases to show that the cross-examin
ation of a defendant put on as a witness
should be confined to matters in which he
had been examined directly. In speaking
of the embezzlement, the general re
marked that it made no difference in this
case if Fine! had "taken from those inter
esting Hebrews cv rything they had
wrung from the public by the sale of
shoddy pants and rotten clothes."
Judge Murphy said that the prosecu
tion hi-id some cause to ieei indignant at
General Barnes for his sneering remarks
as to Hebrews and shoddy clothing. As
to the statement that there was no evi
dence to hold Figel, be asserted that the
prosecution had something further to say
in regard to Messrs. Manuel, Rice and
.unbull, which might put a different
phase on the value of their testimony. He
c.ted cases in support of his argument
that Figel could be cross-examined as
any oiher witness.
The argument was closed by Mr. Ach.
He referred to what he termed the per
sonal onslaught of General Barnes and
said that the position cf prosecutor was
