BERKELEY RECTOR 11' IS II TROUBLE NAME CONNECTED WITH D1S EDNA CLARK HAS HYPOCRITE'S DEFENSE Kissed and Caressed Her, he Admits, But Did so Only in the Course of His "Paatoral Duty" He ia Turn-Cloth. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10The disappearnce of Edna Clark, the Berkeley art student, who dropped from sight of her relatives and friends, has culminated in a request for an investigation of his conduct by Rev. Payson Young, pastor of the Anglka Church, St. Mayr the Vir gin, of this city. Bishop Nicholas has announced his intention of appointing a committee of five parishioners to conduct the investigation. During the past 48 hours Rev. Mr. Yong has secluded himself and refused to be interview ed. While the search for the missing girl has not relaxed, Rev. Mr. Young has become the central figure in the case through the statements made by Miss Edna Reynolds, friend and confidant of Edna Clark. The girl has informed the searchers that Rev. Young received Miss Young in his study and that she was informed that he had been in the babit of kissing and caressing her. This the Rev. Mr. Young admitted, explaining that he deemed it part of bis pastoral duty, but he has denied that any engage ment existed between him and the missing girl COUNCIL CREST GRANT AND A. T. STEWART. Nomination of the Merchant For 8 so litary of the Treasury. It was not unnatural that to the ab solute absence of political experience Preaktent Grant should not onlyrtiave bad much to learn concerning the na ture and conduct of civil governiueut, but that be should also have bad much to unlearn of the mental habits and the ways of thinking be had acquUwl in the exerclxe of laifce Indeed, almost unlimited military command. Tbis was strikingly illustrated by some re markable incidents. As usual, the nominations made by the president for cabinet offices were promptly ratified by the senate with out being referred to ary committee. But after tbis bad been done It was remembered and reported to President Grant that one of the nominees so confirmed, A. T. Stewart of New York, whom President Grant bad selected for the secretaryship of the treasury. as a person engaged in commerce was disqualified by one of the oldest laws on the stutote book In fact the act of Sept 2, 1730. etitablishliig the treas ury depnrtoient That tbis law, which provided that the treasury department baring the administration of the cus torn bouses under Its control, should not have at Its head a merchant or im porter in active business, was entirely proper-lodeed, a necessary one bad ! never been questioned. The next mora, jlng, March 6. I bad occasion to call upon President Grant for the purpose of presenting to him a congratulatory message from certain citizens of St Louis. I found him alone engaged in writing something on a half sheet of note paper. "Mr. President" I said, "I see you are busy, and I do not wish to interrupt yon. My business can wait" "Never mind," be answered, "I am only writing a message to the senate." My business was quickly dis posed of, and I withdrew. In the course of that day's session of the senate a message from the presl dent was brought in in which, after quoting the statute of Sept 2, 1780, the president asked that Mr. Stewart be exempted by joint resolution of the two bouses of congress from the op eration of tbe law which stood in Mr. Stewart's way. There were some signs of surprise among senators when the message was read, and Mr. Sherman at once asked unanimous consent to introduce a bill In accordance with the president's wish. But Mr. Sumner ob jected to th$ Immediate consideration thereof because of Its great importance. This stopped further proceedings, and tbe bill was laid on tbe table, never to be heard of again.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.- Fol lowing the arrival in the city of the Republican members of the ways and means committees of the house for the tariff hearing, and many other Republican congressmen to attend to departmental business postponed until after elction, the selection wf the speaker of the 61t congress was a subject of keen discussion today in Washington. None of the arrivals cared to come out openly in opposi tion to the re-election of Speaker Cannon, while members who have been closely associated with Mr. Cannon during his occupancy of the chair assert positively that there will be no opposition to him by the time the Republicans meet to caucus on the speakership. Mr. Cannon's friends ctaim to be greatly encouraged by the election, Not only did the speaker himself re ceive a handsome plurality in ni NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Struggllng to recover from one of the most in tense national campaigns in its his tory, Gotham is to-day heroically en gaged in getting down to business after the months of political turmoil hich have just ended. Hundreds of the statesmen from every section of the union who have been decorating the lobbies of Broadway about each party, headquarters in town have al ready made a sweeping exodus to their home regions. An army of man agers, clerks, press agents, steno graphers, messengers and office boys are to-day looking for jobs where there is tess excitement and pay than in the offices from which they have been pushing various political propaganda. Real estate agents are sadly surveying the many empty suites from which they reaped rich rentals for short campaign terms. For all its tardy undertaking, the campaign of 1908 has finished with a record outburst here and it will be weeks before the .smoke of battle has cleared away. RUSSIANS AND REFUGE. Little less than a revolution is brewing among the hundreds of thou sands of Russian emigrants over on the East Side to-day, while the au thorities in this land of the free tem porize over the release of Jan Tour en. If the power of the Czar of all the Russian finally avails to clutch and return to Siberia this refugee who has long languished in the Tombs prison here the effect will work serious upheaval among the army of exiles who have come here to feel secure of their lives and liber ties. Already the success of the emis saries of the Czar in further prolong ing the imprisonment of their inten ded victim has sadly shaken the faith of the extensive Russian population in this city. Powerful friends of Rus sian freedom are, however, banding together to-day to aid the trembling fugitive, and Uncle Sam will not be allowed to give him up fight without BEFRIENDNNG BIRDS. For the sake of the feathered tribes of America, delegates from ev ery section of the country have come to this city to further the work of the National Association of Audu bon Societies this week. Of more ul timate importance than any issue of the campaign which raged about them, these experts on bird life de clare,- is the problem of saving the country's crops by preserving their winged protectors. Since it has been proven that ?800,000,000 might be saved to the farmers of the land last year by checking the destruction of the insect-eating birds, the reason for expanding this Audubon work is appealing to people here. Even New Yorkers have a warm spot in their hearts for the birds, of whom they see so few, and the spreading fight district, where a bitter light was waged Aitnlnst him, but they point out that many of the member who had their opposition to his re-election as speaker, met with defeat at the polls. The election of William H. Taft to the'White House is regarded by Mr. Cannon's friends as a harrier to any Ohio congressman being selected to rule over the houne. In addition Congressman Theodore E. Burton and former Speaker J. Warren KeU fer, both of Ohio, rat said to nave scnatoriul ambitious that would in terfere this winter with a campaign on their part for speaker. fhtre's the Rubl Mrs. Dons-It will show that the world has advuuvri wlum mou Id the street cars give their swits to women.

ARISTOCRATIC AGITATORS. After weeks af watching the col lege man and theorist grap the hands of the masses behind kid gloves, the .public here is looking forward with amusement to the out come of this socialistic freak that has enlivened all the campaign over on the East Side. Hunter, Stokes, Stef fens and a score of gentlemen ama teurs have appeared with great reg ularity in the gatherings of the dis ciples of Debs, and to day it is repor ted that they will continue to wave the red rag from time to time among the defenseless poor of the slums. As campaign capers, no one here objects to these activities of the faddish ar istocrats; for nothing more deadly than fireworks has been the outcome of their election exhortations. New York remembers the day not long ago, however, when a hundred police men almost gave their lives to the bomb that was thrown from one of young Mr. Hunter's audiences and these genteel young cranks will here after be kept well within bounds. MISPLACED MEN. With Christy Matthewsaon blos soming out as a campaign orator and Mike Donlin making his debut on the stage, Gotham is today being treated to a wierd warm-over of the baseball enthusiasm of the past sea son. The sight of the blond giant who adorns the pitcher's box, stammering on the stump has proven almost as pitiful as the forensic efforts of the man who has no peer in right field or at bat. Except for the enthusiasm of the irrepressible "fan," the public here has found these giants as much a frost off the diamond as they are a hit in their natural sphere. Colds and Croup in Children.
