CHURCH INQUIRY on;
EDNA CLARK LEAVES
Denies Trip Planned to Avoid
Connection With Payson
Young Investigation

Edna Clark, the youna art student
whose sudden disappearance from her
home in Alameda last fall led to an
investigation into the relations be-
tween the girl and Rev. Payson Young,
rector of ST. Mary the Virgins church,
has decided to leave California for Bos-
ton, where she is to enter the Boston
art school for a three years course OF
study. There is a strange coincidence
in the fact that Miss Clarks decision
to leave her home comes on the heels
of the publication of the fact that
Bishop William Ford Nichols of the
Episcopal church has called an inves-
tigation into Young's conduct and the
further report that Young has submit
ted a written confession TO the bishop.
Miss Clark will be accompanied on
her eastern trip by her mother, Mrs.
Anita Y. Mack David Clark, grand
father of Miss Clark, with whom she
made her home in Chestnut street near
Santa Clara avenue, Alameda, declared
last evening that the contemplated de-
parture by Miss Clark has nothing to
do with the Young case.
''NoTHING TO Do WITH INQUIRY
The trip of Edna and her mother to
Boston has nothing whatever TO do
with the coming investigation of this
man Young" said David Clark Edna
has planned this trip for some time.
She has shown a talent for art work
and it is upon the advice of former
instructors that she is to enter an art
school in Boston to further perfect her
self in her chosen work Edna and
Afrc h1r rlr mil t-f@ ala% IL,
on their way to Massachusetts, Mrs
Mack will probably remain in the east
until Edna finishes her course"
Rev. Payson Young, when seen at his
home, 624 Sixteenth street, yester-
day, refused to make any statement
concerning the confession which he is
reported TO have made to the ecclesi-
astical court which has convened to try
him. Young also refused to discuss the
presence in Oakland of the IS year old
boy William Lyons, who claims TO be
a son of the Anglican priest.
L have had my fill of notoriety,"
said Young, and l must decline to dis
cuss any Of these matters. If there is
any statement to be made for publica-
tion ii must come from my attorney.
@. NJ. Thomas, whose Office is in the
Pacific building. in San Francisco"
He declined 10 discuss the rumor that
he is to sue his former church for ar
rears IN salary.
wILE BE UNFROCkED
bishop Nichols said last evening:
For the present I have nothing to say
In the Young matter, but before the
week is over l hope that l may be
in a position TO make statement TO
the public
1t is reported that few days ago
Bishop Nichols Informed Payson Young
that it was time for the trial court 10
convene. Young did not show an in
clination TO exercise his privilege and
nominate his representatives on the
council. Instead, he prepared confes-
sion, which he sent to Bishop Nichols
and the court. He will be unfrocked
by the church.

San Francisco found their trip to Palo
Alto to compel the attendance OF Sena-
tor Black at Sacramento fruitless of
results. They have gone north after a
day OF leisure They were refused per-
mission TO see Senator Black last
night, but decided to stay over and try
their luck today At 10 o'clock this
morning they went TO the office of DIR.
Black and inquired whether they could
see the senator The doctor said il
rested with the senator and telephoned
the request to his home, but the an
swer was positive refusal. In expla-
nation of his attitude Senator Black
sent the following telegram:
Hon Warren Il. Porter. Sacramento Cal: I
beg to inform you and through you the senate
adopted Saturday in reference 10 my absence as
discourteous, rejecting on my honor and In
tegrity, and proposing an infringement of
nv privileges and rights as senator and citizen.
I have therefore, declined to see the persons
sent here under this resolution and shall continue
to decline 10 them until my physicians in
form me that / with safety return to Sacra-
mento. Ample evidence of my physical condition
has been presented 70 your Representatives by
physicians have furnished and viii furnish eri-
dence of my condition from time to time
qured by you or by the senate.
MARSHALL BLACK.
As DR. Montgomery was not called in
consultation Senator Blacks physicians
considered there was no reason why he
should see the senator in a profess
sional way, and DR.. Montgomery ac-
cepted this view in a friendly spirit.
He. however. asked 1Nn behalf of Lieu
tenant Governor Porter that DR.. Black
would say definitely when Senator
Black would be able to go to saera-
mento. DR.. Black answered that Mon
day. March %. would be the earliest
date. and even that was not certain.
Senator Blacks temperature is said
to be 100 today and he is still suffering
from bronchial pneumonia, according
to statements made by the doctors who
are permitted to see him.
Martin said:
have no warrants for Senator Blacks arrest
and am not here TO take any aggressive action.
On my former trip found Senator Black a very
sick man and so stated in my report TO the sen
ate. ! understand he is still seriously Ill and
shall so report.

manned here until 4:57 o'clock in the
