TOO MANY RICH MEMBERS.
Pastor Objects to Congregation That
Spends It's Money Travelling.

Inability to attune himself to a con-
Gregation OF millionaires who spend
most of the winter in California, most
Of the summer i'll the Northeast, and
the rest Of the time in Europe, was
given as the reason for Rev. Robert
Hugh Morris resignation from the
First Presbyterian church of Evans
town.
Dr. Morris was described by various
elders OF the church. most of whom
have Offices in the La Sale street fl
nancial district as a brilliant, ener-
get1c young man. deep student and
a man who is much respected by the
congregation. Several Of them said
that his resignation would not be ac-
cepted unless DR.. Morris convinced
them that il was necessary for him to
resign. They declared that he is in
clined to be too cons cientiOuS and
blame himself for conditions that are
inherent in a continuity such as
EvanStown.
Practically all of them admitted
they had been away from the city 50
much that they themselves We're out
Of touch with the current affairs of
the church, but they said the pastor
of the church must make up his mind
to having a congregation which is
largely absentee"
Or. Morris, of course, can not say
that he is ov9rconscientious, but l be
lieVe that will be found to be the true
explanation of his resignation said M.
{. Armour. one of the leading MEM
bers of the congregation.
He probably is not used to pas
torate in such a community as Evans

due in some way to a fault of his

he can not control. There is a gen.
eral exodus for the South in the Win

difrng the summer months, and the

on either side, it was declared, Dr.
Morris had felt himself hampered in

Most Scholarly Actor.

Though Herman Vezin the actor,
whose death in his eighty-second year
is announced from London. was a
Philadelphia by birth and graduate
OF the University OF Pennsylvania, his
name was practically unknown to the
great body of American playgoers. Ac-
counted the most scholarly player on
the English speaking stage. his career
was associated with the higher types
of poetic and romantic drama. He
played the master Shakespearean roles
for many Years. and was associated
with Charles Kean and the other great
English actors of the mid Victorian
period.
AS a renderer of Shakespearean
verse he was probably never excelled
But nature furnished him with a small
and insignificant physique that was
no match to his brain. Perhaps it was
diffidence that prevented his exercis-
ing that indefnable quality of person
al magetism over his audiences. He
was intellectual rather than powerful
in his acting. Yet he had his triumphs

REBATE OF $5.43 COSTS
LUMBER COMPANY $1,000
Illegal Shipping Punished by
Judge Van Fleet

One thousand dollars was the sum
the California pine box and lumber
company was ordered to pay to the
government yesterday for having ac-
cepted rebate of $5.43 from the South
ern Pacific railroad in August, 1906.
The fine was imposed by United States
District Judge Van Fleet, after the de-
fendant company had pleaded guilty to
the charge against it of procuring ship
ment in interstate commerce at less
than the legal published rates.
This case is one of the 19suHon which
the Southern Pacific companys was in
dicted on the charge of having given
rebates, and for which the corpora
ton was fined s1s,5o0. Now the firms
that accepted the rebates are paying
for their share of guilt in the mutual
agreement.
A shipment of Ss.25O pounds of box
shocks from Verdi. New. to San Jose.
made in June, 1905, constituted the
specific count upon which the Cali
fornia pine and lumber company was
prosecuted. Il was showed when the
Southern Pacific was prosecuted that
the lumber firm had paid s67.96 freight
on the shipment and that rebate of
s5.43 had been made on this. AS the
Southern Pacific was found guilty on
this count the lumber firm entered a
plea of guilty at once when charged.

Owing to the fact that Principal

ley. in the matter of Director Payot's
qualification to hear the case against
him, a postponement of the trial was
ordered yesterday until tomorrow
mofning by the high school board.
Attorney Costello. for Bush. in an af-
fidavit asserted that the rules which
his client is charged with having vio-
lated are those referring to primary
and grammar grade teachers and that
the high school board, which alone has
the right to try high school teachers
has never adopted any rules, and for
that reason there are none which the
accused could have violated.
