Minister Says Church Salary
Too Small and Lack of Money
Is Root of All Evil
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

lOpecIdl OIspdfch TO ne CdItl
CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Firmly con
vinced that the average businessman
requires less work and pays more
money to his employees than does the
average church. Rev. Ferdinand S.
Rockwell. pastor of the Sheridan Park
Methodist church. has resigned from
the church and will go into the auto
mobile business.
First and last it is question of
salary with Rev. Mr.. Rockwell.
Il only receive $2,5OO year." he
said today, "and it is not enough to
enable me to meet obligations have
assumed. I have not abandoned the
ministry permanently, but simply have
enough money to pay my obligations I
intend to return to the ministry at any
salary that VIII permit me to care
for my family in a proper manner.
THE ministry always has been un-
derpaid and probably always will be.
and 1 long have felt that 1 should be
earning more. With me it is matter
of duty to my wife and family first.
If you saw a chance to benefit your
wife and children, wouldn't you take
it? 1 have been offered the New Eng
land management of a large eastern
company and 1 intend to take it. 1 win
receive $4,000 year in the automobile
business and 1 will need it. 1 would
like to have an automobile of my own.
but never have been able to afford it.
Money is said to be the root of all
evil" the clergyman continued. But
to me lack of money is really the root
of the evil Men with money don't
steal to get it and if footpads had
money they wouldn't be prowling
through the night in search of victims.
1 think you will find that it ever has
been a lack of money rather than a
surfeit of 1t that has been responsible
for crime"
Although the salary of $2.5OO received
by Rev. Mr. Rockwell is said to be one
that the majority of Methodist minis
ters would jump at, it apparently didn't
look good to him when lined up with
the $4,000 offer of the automobile COM
pany At any rate. after a conference
with Bishop William f. Mcdowell he
announced his resignation as definite.

Morris DaIander, on Way to

and Left to Die

Enough to Tell Tale Unbe-

A sensational mystery possessing all
the elements of preconceived and cold
blooded attempt at murder was put into
the hands of the police for investiga-
tion at II o'clock last night when Nor
rls Dalander. member of the Eureka
society. was discovered bound, gagged,
strangled and in a dying condition in
II street near Fourth avenue. The few
clews they possess are misleading in
character and the expectations are that
the solution of the mystery will bring
to light a carefully prepared plot to
kill Dalander. The motive and per-
petrators of the deed are not known.
Dalander was first discovered by W.
C. Seppich of the Hensley- Green real
estate firm. Seppich was automobiling
back to the city from the beach when
he caught sight of Dalander's PROSTATE
form in the shrubbery and alighting
from his machine made an investiga-
tion.
He discovered that the mans hands
and feet had been bound with cords,
his mouth and throat stuffed with rags
and cord drawn tightly around his
throat. Recognizing DaIander's serious
condition Seppich first telephoned for
the police and pending the arrival of
the ambulance gave what relief he
could. Dalander's condition was so
critical when the police arrived that he
was hurried to the Affiliated Colleges

Going to Wit Woman

After working over him for some time
Dalander was brought back to conscious
ness for about Is minutes and then. with
the greatest difficulty succeeded in tell
ing the police his strange tale. According
to him he was on his way to 126 Fourth
avenue to see a woman ar about 1O:15
p. m. when he was lassoed from behind
by five men, who after throwing him to
the ground rushed upon him, bound.
gagged and strangled him and left after
taking his watch and 81 which he had
on his person. His tale had in it such
note of improbability that the police
put little credence In it. There was
little opportunity to question him, as he
lapsed into Inconsistencies soon after
stating these brief facts.
Dalander said he was unable to give
a description of the men and. excent
for the robbery knew of no reason for
the attack. The claim of the police is
that the story does not ring true mas
much as five men, wishing to rob a
single man in lonely part of the city,
would not take the trouble to 1asso
and. bind and gag him. If robbery
alone was the view in end they state
that they could have overpowered him
without the least difficulty.
Woman May Explain
The thory of the police is that the
woman at 1916 Fourth avenue whom
Dalander said he was going to visit
might be able to throw some light on
the matter and they will conduct their
immediate examination in that direc-
ton.
Dslander is about 80 years of age
and has a family in the east. He has
not been in San Francisco very long.
Apart from this the police have learned
nothing more about him. Reports from
the hospital late last night were that
he was in an extremely critical condi-
tion with but little chance for his re-
covery

Fight Over Resolution

The only real display of rancor which
marked the afternoon session grew out
of a paragraph in the resolutions re-
ported to the League of Iroquois Clubs
by it's resolutions committee. The
plank called for the condemnation of
those democratic members of the Iegis-
lature who do not support the prin-
ciples adopted by the democratic party
as enunciated in democratic platforms.
and declared that "the violator of a
party pledge is unworthy of the con-
fdence of the democratic party and un-
worthy of the support of those who be-
lieve in representative government"
Thedore A. Bell pounced upon the
resolution as direct attack on Assem-
blyman ]. w. Preston of Mendocino
county because of the latter's failure
to stand steadfast for all anti-Japa-
ese legislation. and took up the fight in
Preston's behalf to have the paragraph
eliminated from the resolutions. Bell
won his point after heated argument
with C. w. Eastin. a member of the
committee responsible for slipping the
plank into the resolutions.
Favor Anti-AIien Law
The resolutions as adopted declared
in favor of anti-Japanese legislation
