WARDEN H VEINS RESIGNS
Tried to Unite the Episcopa
Churches of st. Johns and
st Paul's.
The Schem F lied and st. Johns
Will Rebuild as Soon as
Possible.
OAKLAND OFFICE San Francisco CALL, !
908 Broadway, Feb. %

wv
Senior Warden c. D. Havens, who for
thirty years has been connected with ST.
Johns Episcopal Church, has resigned
because he cannot bring about consoli-
uation between ST. Pau"s and 81. Johns.
For thirty years Trustee Ravens has
been one of the most influential mem bers
of the congregation, and since the deaf h
of General Kirkham has been senior war
den, which i the office of most response
blity on the church board.
His loss to the church will be a great
one, ana although asked 10 recons der his
&C ion he has declined to do so, but he has
animated that he will remain a mem Der
of the congregation.
A circular was is ued to-day to re mem
bers of ST. Johns, stating that all nego-
tieIions tending to a union of the TWO
churches were off, and that. st. Johns will
build hand some editice in a central loca-
ton. Ever since old st. Johns was
burned efforts have been made 20 consoli-
date the Two churches. st. Johns was
first approached with proposition that
both churches should disincorporate and
a new bodv be formed. ST. Johns de-
clined this for several reasons. 1t is the
Oldest Episcopal church In the county
and it has q iund held in trust which
could not be transferred to any other cor
Doration, and wouli revert to the estate
of the donor in case st. Johns as parish
went out of existence.
ST. Paul's required, in case of a consoli-
dation t at the new church, which would
be built, should be erected on their lot at
Fourteenth and Harrison streets, and that
both ve>tries and rector should re ign and
ID new board and pastor be chosen, and
also that as st. PauPs members, by unit
ing with ST. Johns, could not, according
to church law, vote on any question until
sixty days alter enrolment, nothing
houId be done by the new church reQuIr-
ing vote OF the congregation until the
ex piration of that time.
This was considered too much to yield
by st. Jonn's. Last Monday a circular
was issued containing certain PROPOSE
tions. which were to be mailed TO every
member of the respective congregations.
Just when evrrythin. was ready for
taking this postal vote, st. PauPs brought
forward the demand that the new church

Baroness Baroteau, the divorc d wife Of
Baron Baroteau, has been ordered to leave
Oakland, and Il she does not obey term
of Imprisonment in the City Jail awaits
her.
Mrs. Baroeau, who by reason of her
marriage with the romantic gentleman
who is heir 10 the Chateau Baroteau, near
Nice, acquired much notoriety, has fig
ured in many sensational incidents in
this city.
They have finally ended by her being
arrested, and on her promise to go 10
, shasta County she will be released. A
ew months ago she filed a sensational
divorce suit against the Baron and &C
cused him of all kinds of ungalant acts.
She alleged that on their wedding day,
while dining at The Hotel Vendome, in
San Jose, the Baron was guilty OF flirting
with young French lady who was a
guest at the hotel. Many other aIlega-
lions were Included in the complaint,
in which pistols, crockery, cruelty and
whisky figured conspicuously.
The Baron filed a cross complaint, but
did not care TO prosecute II, and the de-
cree was awarded TO the Baroness. The
origin of the trouble between the
used to write poetry and letters TO the
Baroness contrary to the desires OF her hus-
band. 1t ended by the Baron having
Hatch arrested, but on his promise not to
visit the lady any more Hatch was set
free.
After this the Baron apparently helped
his wife to quickly get rio OF her fortune,
for when they were married she had
5000, and when she was divorced she
had little home with a mortgage on it.
Since the divorce Mrs. Baroteau has fire.

months ago she made an attempt to have
it appear that she was the wife OF a young
man named Troy. Mr.. Troy is about one
third the ladv's age, and Indignantly de-
MED that he was the husband OF the Bar
oness.
Last night there was scene of revelry
at the house of the Baroness, the sound of
a pistol was heard, and there was much
shoutin AS the Baroness was the one
least able to explain the matter, she was
taken to the City Prison, and will be re-
leased under the term already stated.

had been sweated 10 the extent of depre-
ciating their commercial value about so
cents. The men were taken before Justice
Cliff, and their case was continued till
next Wednesday, with bail fixed at $4,000.
The house at Fifth and Franklin streets
belongs to D. Hougham, and it was the
owner that gave the officers the informa-
ton leading 10 the arrest.
"When | returned from my work about
two weeks ago, said Hougham, my wife
told me that size had rented the two rooms
upstairs TO two men. Next day when 1
returned she told me that the new lod gers
were cooking something that had bad
odor. l went up>tairs and asked what
they were doing. D ckle sal they were
cooking some stuff that they sold 10 pho
tographers. l paid no more attention to
the matter for a few days, when the stencil
became unbeara BILE, and / notified the
men that they would have TO stop cooking
their stuff in the house, but that they
could use the back porch for the purpose.
Two or three days after that | was
talking to Mrs. Thomas w hite, who keeps
a grocery-store, and she asked me what
kind OF men my boarders were. l said l
didn't know, and she said that one was a
sneakthief, as he had stolen a side of
bacon from her, and every time he bought
any little article he paid for II in gold.
On looking at the coin she had received
from the men l saw at once that it had
be Il eaten with acid. ! communicated
with the chief and later saw Detective
Harris and he put man on the case"
The men have been in Oakland or about
seven weeks and bought all their ACIDS at
Osgood's drugstore. Last week they tried
to sell some of the gold to pawnbroker
on Seventh street. but they wrangled over
the price and the sale was not made.
Detective Harris is satisfied that these
two men have heen engaged in this bust
ness and have succeeded in Guiding arrest
for six years. They were heard from in
San Francisco about six years ago. but
since that time the detectives have lost
track Of them.
