A MAYNARD MINISTER
A Dhgraosfd Naptsr In the Career of Rev.
0lb9t r Williams.
Bishop SatterIee's Advisory Commit
Said to Nave Been Substnntinted.

The members of the standing committee
of the Episcopal diocese Of Washington
acting as an advisory council to Bishop
Satterfee. who have been investigating for
several weeks past the scandalous charges
affecting the Rev. Gilbert F. Williams, late
rector Of Christ Church, Navy Yard, have
reached a conclusion in the case which
will be submitted to Bishop Satterlee on
his return from Europe. Owing to the con-
fidential character Of the relations existing
between an advisory council and bishop
the members Of it are compelled to observe
secrecy regarding their deliberations and
the result of them, which would not be the
case II they were acting simply as the
standing committee Consequently nothing
absolutely authoritative can be given out,
save by Bishop Satterlee himself but it is
nevertheless pretty well known that the
committee Will report to the bishop that
the charges are true.
Very Serious Reflections
They embrace reflections upon Mr.. Will
Jams character of a most serious sort
About year ago rumor in Southeast
Washington began to connect the name of
Mr.. Williams with that of a Miss Denham,
the nineteen-year-old daughter of Thomas
8 Denham. who Is a member of the firm of
Denham & Sons. painters, T02 9th street
a
southeast, In a house Immediately adjoining
his place of business. The young woman
was member of Christ Church, of which
Mr.. Williams was the rector. She was
member of the choir and apparently very
much Interested in the church work.
. This brought her constantly in the soci-
ETY. of the minister The gossip alluded to
increased in volume when Miss Denham
became the mother of child.
An investigation Made
The names Of several well-known resi-
dents of the Navy Yard section were men,
toned from time to time as belonging to
those who were responsible for the event.
but at last, after much investigation par
ticipated in by many of the members OF
Christ Church, as we'll as acuuaintances
of the girl and of Mr.. Williams, 1t came to
be generally regarded a fact that Mr.
Williams was responsible for Miss Den
hams condition. While this gossip was at
Its height Mr.. Williams left town. The
father of Miss Denham, 1t is said, deter
mined that the author of his daughters
misfortune should be made to answer for
It, at least to the extent of having his hy-
pocrisy made public. and the matter was
brought to the attention of the Episcopal
clergy of the diocese and of Bishop Satter-
lee. Before the latters departure for Eu-
rope he requested the standing committee
of the diocese to make an impartial in
vestfgation Of the charges against Mr..
Williams, acting, however, as his advisory
counsel In the course Of its duties 1t Is
understood that the advisory council sent
a representative or representatives to see
Miss Denham, and 1t is stated that she
the Rev. Mr.. Williams was the father OF
her child. Mr.. Williams is now said to be
In Santtarium in the north, suffering
from mental disorder.

An attack on Sugar for this cause forced

The railroad list was irregular during
the entire day. Several low-priced issues
which were almost forgotten attracted a
buying demand simply because of the alb

property. This buying, II is needless TO
add, was purely speculative and profess

Routine market developments continue to
be satisfactory. With one exception. the

sustained Improvement.
1t is probable that Washington advices
will again become the chief factor in the
market. The break in Sugar during the af-
ternoon was attributed to advices from
that city.
