DR, LAW STILL SAYS HE Issues a Denial in New York. s “NO RESIGNATION” HIS CRY DR. WILLIAMS MAY BE HIS SUCCESSOR. S Trustees of Church of the Advent Hold a DocumentThat They Assert Is a Resignation, in Spite of All Statements. s Oakland Office San Francisco Cali, 98 Broadway, Aug. 18, All the way from New York comes an- other denial from Rev. Marshall Law, late of the Church of the Advent. The ex- rector had been quoted in a New York paper as having resigned from an Oak- land church: The rector demanded a con- tradiction and stated very forcibly that he had not resigned. This information has reopened the old breach at the Church of the Advent. Ne- gotiations are being carried on wit copalian ministers looking to a suc for the late rector, and they are likely be hampered by the recent denial from Dr. Law that he has resigned. Dr. Wili- iams of New York is one of the rectors with whom the Church of the Advent is in correspondence, and who was surprised to find in the newspaper that there was no vacancy in Oakland. Dean Jackson of Salt Lake City is also considered an avalil- able candidate, but the church cannot pro- ceed according to ecclesiastical law to name a rector until the previous incum- bent has formally resigned. When Dr, Law went East, with three months’ salary In his pocket and his fare pald, he left a written agreement by which, on condition of certain things be- ing done by the church, he would present his resignation some time prior to October 1. This agreement was made in triplicate, the rector, the Bishop and the church trustees each hav a copy. The trustees declare that it is itself a prima facie res- ignation, but it does not comply with the letter of the church law, and in view of Dr. Law's recent statement in New York the trustees are not quite sure e they stand. Evidently Dr. Law does not consider his agreement as a re. gnation or as binding. The church trustees declare that they have fulfilled all the terms imposed upon them by the rector prior to his going East, and should Dr. Law inslst on con- sidering himself rector of the Advent Church an appeal will be made to the Bishop, and altogether new grounds will be taken on which to base a demand for the. rector’s retirement. J. J. Valentine's resignation as vestry: man has not yet been accepted, much hope is expressed that he will reconsider it now that Dr. Law has gone. No effort, however, will be made to induce Mr. Val- entine to return to the church until the bona fide indisputable legal re ation of the late rector is in the hands of the trus- tees. —_———— COURT NOTES.

S B STEINSON LEFT AN ESTATE R s MET DEATH IN THE BAY AT PORT COSTA. B S Had He Lived a Few Weeks Longer He Would Have Married and Scottish Heirs Would Not Be Enriched. Segs RS Ozkland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Aug. 16. Papers just filed In the Superior Court bring to light a story of how been diverted by the drowning last fall of | James Steinson of East Oakland. | Steinson was in the employ of the rail- road company and had acquired a neat| ittle fortune in money and real estate He was engaged to be married to M McClure of East Oakland, bu time fixed for the wedding Port Costa and met with nil drowning. One tragedy led | for three days later nis prospe: er-in-law was o overcome b death that she died suddenly, just an hour before the remains of her daughter's sweetheart were brought into the house from which the funcral was to take place. Steinson left no will or it would have been reasonably certain to suppose that his intended wife would have received a generous share of his estate. The prop- erty eame under the jurisdiction of tne Public Administrator, and heirs were found in Scotland, but none in this coun try. Steinson left Banffshire many years ago, going first to Queensland and late coming to America. He was of a thrifty disposition and accumulated about $6000 in local banks, besides a few pieces of real estate. When it was proved that he left no the estate was probated, and several months were occupied in obtaining all the necessary data from his brother John in Scotland to prove that John and five chil- dren of another brother were the heirs to the estate. It was at first thought that some arrangement might be found by | which a_portion of the estate would pa: to Miss McClure, but as Steinson had ev. dently not anticipated any accident prior to his marrlage, no such proof of his in- tention existed. A petition of the heirs authorized by them from their Scottish home has ju: been received by Attorney Darwin de G lia, and in a few weeks the estate of the unfortunate Steinson will be legally dis- tributed to the heirs.

It is just the dash of sour sauce that should son such a joint. ugh to believe as you read the book that no such beautiful, morbid human warp. as Hedda Gabler could exist, you had best keep away from the play. You will not go through the experience with Miss Bates in the role and come out just as you started. She will never do anything better than the last three acts of the play. In them she is not Miss Bates; she is the puppet of Ibsen, and the creature of his brain moves and plots, a living thing. So fascinating is she that should she play it again we should Then let hope she will not. the mouth when the curtain falls. with the Hickman voice, but soon made us forget it, his grasp of the character of Assessor Brack was so firm.

Mary Van Buren looked Mrs. Elosted, and was good but crude. She intentioned right, but she lacks experience. Mr. Frawley as Lov- borg meant to give the idea of something unusual, intense—that these were the greatest two or three days that God ever created. The idea was a good one and successfully expressed. Yet he was not a good Eilert Lovborg. George Gaston made Jorgan Tesman & thoroughly hon- orable, clean creature. We were thank- ful for his presence and think he must have acted well.
