RECTOR LAWS PAY
MAY BE REDUCED
VESTRY DETERMINED THAT HE
SHALL RESIGN.
The --latest Disagreement Is With His
Senior Warden and Friend,
j. J. Valentine.

90S Broadway, June Is.
The existing differences between Rev.
Marshall Law and his vestry. the details
of which were published exclusively by
The CaU one month ago. appear to be
reaching a crisis. The demand made unon
the rector last Tuesday for his resigna-
tion, also published exclusively in this
paper. has been secuted by Rev. Marshall
Law and further trouble is threatened.
The friends Of the rector in the vestry
have gradually left him. and now that
j. J. Valentine. his senior warden. has
hand. Although according TO eCClesiasti-
cal law he cannot be removed from his
parish. except for some gross offense, it
is within the power OF the VeStrymen TO
cut the salary Of their rector TO a nOmi-
nal sum and thus starVe him out of the
pulpit. This threat has even been made
by one of the church officers.
Dr. Law is defiant. He declares that
many small matters have been magnified
and that there is no valid reason why
he should resign from the Church Of the
Advent.
Dr. Law attributes much Of his trouble
10 Mr.. Read. the treasurer. He says Mr.
Read has been disturbing element for
a long time, and pays but 81 month for
q whole pew in the very best portion Of
the church. Mr. Read says that when he
goes TO church he wants to hear ser
mons. and not advertisements for patent
health foods. patent chaliceS and hOmilies
on everything but the gospel. The trou-
now the church is rent entirely asunder,
with those who have supported ii on one
side and the rector on the other.
The most sensational incident in the
whole affair was a suppressed "eXplana-
ton which the rector announced he
would read 10 his flock one Sunday morn
ing several months ago DR.. Law had
heard disquieting Tumors regarding his
habits. and he determined that ii was
time 10 close the mouths of his accusers.
When Sunday morning came he an
n0unced that he had been advised by his
friends not TO read it. Its contents were
known and It was a very positive denial
on the part Of DIR. Law that he had used
i'm any form any drug whatsoever He
offered to supply all kinds Of proofs and
20 give any reasonable reward to any
body who could prove otherwise. His
friends assured the rector that it would

pulpit in answer to what they believed

AS the matter stands, the rectors reslg-

CHIEF FLETCHER'S
IDEA OF CHEESMAN
BELIEVES THE ESCAPE NOW
IN THE EAST.
Nothing to Lead to the Suspicion
That Brooks Murder Was
in Oakland.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

COS Broadway, June IL.
1t is firmly believed by Chief Fletcher
that Cheesman is three thousand miles
from here and that all the talk Of his
being in this neghbOrhOod is baselesS.
The Chief has had long and searching
conversation with Cheesmans father,
and the facts that he learns warrant MIN
no more Of the Belden incident than what
he may have read in the newspapers.
When CheeSeman was visited In the aSY-
lum a few weeks ago by his father the
latter declared that his son appeared to
be perfectly sensible and gave no intima-
ton that he retained any Of his alleged
former insanity Ii is recalled that when
Cheesman was declared insane by a jury
in the Oakland court he remarked as he
was being led away by the Sheriff Il am
as sane as any Of those guys and III get
even with them yet.
"Cheesman never attempted to harm
any one against whom he did not imagine
ne had a valid grievance" said Chief
Fletcher. 1T is true that on many occa-
sons he tried to commit suicide: but this
mania is very different from a homclJal
one The only persons he ever attacked
were Brooks and his stepdaughter. and
might perhaps say that all the facts in
this case We're not made known at the
trial because there was no necessity for
Belden's assailant were Cheesman tho
ak wielder must have been violently in
sane and he would certainly have been
arrested before this. because he would
naturally not give up till he had satisfied
his desire for blood. If it were Chees-
tional periods he IS far too slick n fellow
to come around this neighborhood. where
he is so well known There have been no
Cheeseman's arrested to-day"
