boy is staying with l. A. Lancet and
Mrs. Lancet at their home in Mission
street, San Rafael. AS a consequence
the influential Presbyterian church
circles of Marin are aroused to such a
pitch of feeling that it is reported
the church may be called upon to in
vestigate the action of the deacon, who
heretofore has borne the reputation
of being an active reformers and enemy
of the evils of racetrack gambling,
intemperance and other public vices.
1t is whispered that SO indignant
have the people become over the alleged
treatment of Mrs Kearn by her father
that he may be asked to resign from
the church. To these rumors Steven

Disapproved Match

1t has been also reported that the re-
lations between father and daughter
have been strained ever since the mar
riage of the girl and that Stevenson did
not approve the match. He admitted
that he was opposed to it on the ground
of his daughters youth and the fact
that "tlle young man was not in a posi-
ton to take care of a wife, as he ex-
pressed it. but said that he gave his
consent and had his daughter married
at home.
L. A. Lancet, at whose home Mrs.
Kearn now is, is a prominent San Ra-
fael citizen, secretary of the San Rafael
club and an officer of the Marin county
building and loan association. Mrs.
Lancet, in discussing the case yester-
day, said: mo steps have yet been
taken to bring the matter before the
church authorities, but, she added, sig
nificantly, Mrs. Kearn can have home
with us as long as she needs or wants
one.",
Rev. Lynn White, pastor of the
church, spoke highly Of the integrity
of stevenson. but would otsdeny that a
protest had been made against the dea-
cons treatment of his daughter.
stevenson, discussing the case, said:
About November Mrs. Kearn, at our
request, came to live with US. But
through the malicious interference OF
others she was led to leave my house
unknown to me- The statement made
that / have withheld my daughters
money from her is false

Husband in Sanitarium

The husband of Mrs. Kearn is now
seriously i'll at the sanitarium at ST.
Helena, and is said to be in poor cir
cumstances. His people live at 261S
Hilgard avenue, Berkeley.
Mrs. Kearn was Eva Stevenson until
her marriage to Kearn, young Berke-
ley real estate man. on April 27, 1906.
She is the daughter Of Stevenson's first
wife, the present Mrs. Stevenson being
the stepmother OF the young woman.
Some San Rafaelans acquainted with
the Stevenson family suggest that the
presence of Mrs. Kearn and her child at
the Lancet house can be explained by
an antipathy for small children which
is imputed to Mrs Stevenson. That Mrs.
Stevenson disliked the child or objected
to its presence in the big Stevenson
home is emphatically denied by Stew
enson, who declared that his daughter
left his roof without his knowledge.
