Rumors circulated thick and fast that the old man had been induced to part with his property for a mere pittance, and that the woman who had agreed to look after him for tne short balance of his life was not giving him the attention that he should have. Stories were told that friends of the old clergyman were denied admission to the house and that he was kept locked up during the day in a small cold room in the rear of the back yard of the prem- es. Until six months ago the Rev. Mr. Simonds was seen- frequently* on the streets near the house he lived in, but for half a year his familiar figure has been missing. Faded From Public Sight. Some of the neighbors who could see into the back yard of 935 Clay street re- cently declared that the aged clergyman was in a _pitiful ‘condition and .though they tried to secure admittance to his | house could not do so. Stranger still, and yet more pitiful, -is the fact that the once brilliant minister of the.Methodist Episcopal church has been allowed to drop out of sight by his brother divines and in the last year none of the men of the cloth has visifed him to cheer his declining vears or to see if he needed any attention. “S8ans eyes, sans teeth, sans taste—sans everything,” in “the last stage that ends | this strange,” eventful history.” with his infirmi age. v of i Rev. Mr. Simonds is, it is said, denied the attention that he bargained for when he | sold his property to Mrs. Helene Hart- wigsen. An investigation of the condition of the aged minister was made yesterday and a GRAPE-NUTS. Machine Type-= Setters. Said to be Hard on Operators.

I e METHODIST, EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND THE WOMAN TO WHOM HE SOLD HIS PROPERTY ON CLAY STREET, startling state of affairs’ was brought to light. When the bell of the three-story build- | Ing at 935 Clay street was rung a Swedish woman, whose name is Mrs, Hilderbrand, opened the door. Mrs. Hilderbrand waits on: Mrs. Hartwigsen, who Is an invalid, and to a query that the callers desired to see the Rev. Mr. Simonds, she replied that he was not in. A request that Mrs. Hartwigsen be called met with the churl- ish reply that she ‘““could not be seen, and you had better get out of this house. Mrs. Hilderbrand was then informed that Mrs. Hartwigsen must be seen, but the woman attempted to shut the door and force the visitors out. Mrs. Hart- wigsen then came out of a room on the first floor, and when she was told that her statement was desired as to the condition of Rev. Mr. Simonds, she con- sented to speak. Bought House for $2000. She claimed that she had treated the aged clergyman with every kindness and that there was no truth in the assertions that he had been locked up in an outhouse in the back vard. “I bought this property from Mr. Si- monds_for $2000,” said Mrs. Hartwigsen, “and T paid him the money. I agreed to board him and look after him for $25 a month. He paid me $500 in advance two years ago, but I have not received any money from him since that time.” Mrs. Hartwigsen admitied that she had taken the old minister to a downtown bank in the past stx months in order that he might draw some money, but denied that she had received any of the coin. When she was requested to produce Rev. Mr. Simonds she left the room and re- mained away about five minutes, return ing with the old man, who was barely able to totter into the room. His white hair and beard were matted and tangled, and over his left eye he wore a dirty bandage, from under which pus oozed. He was dressed in a black coat and trousers and a black Inverness cape, the garments being dirty to a degree. He wore no shirt, and the top of his under- vest presented a grimy appearance. Unable to Answer Clearly. ‘When the Rev. Mr. Simonds was ques- tioned he was unable to answer certain questions, and he would look up at Mrs. Hartwigsen like a child seeking informa- tion. Sometimes he would request the woman to answer for him. “How old are you, Mr. Simonds the first question put to him. “I really don’t know,” he replied, in a thin and_trembling voice. “How old am I, Mrs. Hartwigsen?’ The woman said that he was 90 years old. ‘““Where were you born?" he was asked. “I don’t remember,” he replied. ‘When he was asked if he was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church his mind cleared and he answered: “Yes, I am; and 1 have been for many long years, and I-am in good standing.’ The old gentleman could not remember was ke use of. % could not well change my occupation, but did change the | the date when he had last been out of the house.. Mrs. Hartwigsen claimed that she had taken him out on Christmas day, but the old minister weakly said, “It was longer ago than that—longer ago.' ‘He could not recall how much he had sold his house for nor how much money he had in the bank, nor when he had last drawn any money, but thought that “it was about two weeks ago.” Minister’s Face Begrimed. When Mrs. Hartwigsen was asked to ex- plain the dirty condition of the aged mi ister’s face she stated that she was ill and had -not, had a chance to wash his “ as to the assertions by the neighbors as to being locked up during the day in an outhouse. N He replied: ‘““No; I was never locked up there.” ““Don’t you remember that about two | months ago you were locked up.in the little room back of the vard wand you tried to get out by the window? Don’t you remember knocking on the door and Mrs. Hartwigsen's daughter told you to keep au:g}g} and that it was not time to let you out? Says He Was Locked Up. The details of the question seemed to revive the old man’s failing memory and then he answered sadly: “Yes, I suppose that is right. ber it now.” He was then asked if any of his old friends had called to see him and he an- swered: “I saw Dr. Briggs once, but no one else calls to see me.” “Would you not like to have some of your old friends come to see you?” “Yes, I would like to see them, but no one calls,’” When the old man was asked if he wanted a doctor he replied testily that he knew more than they did. He is suffer- ing from cancer af the left eye and cheek, anG, according to the admission of Mis. Hartwigsen, the only attention he receives is to have the lesion washed. Mrs., Hartwigsen claimed that the clothes of the old man were regularly washed, but that it was impossible to keep the garments clean. Yesterday they awere begrimed and stained. Daughter Contradicts Mother. The 16-year-old daughter of Mrs. Hart- wigeen was seen when she returned to the house from school, and when she was asked if Rev. Mr. Simonds recelved many visitars she replied: “Oh, yes: he frequently has his friends call upon him.” ‘;‘Dg they call every day?’ she was ed. I remem- 2 0, notievery day,” she replied. “They call about three times a week, do they not?” she was asked. ‘'Yes, about that number of times,” she answered. Then Mrs. Hartwigsen broke into the conversation and said: ‘““You know noth- ing of the sort.” Miss thwlgsen corrected herself at her mothér’'s prompting and said she aid not know anything about tihe visits. ‘When she was asked why she had just stated that the old man received fre- quent visitors she replied: “That is what my mother told me. I never saw visitors myself.” Rey. Frank K. Baker, pastor df the First Methodist Episcopal Powell street, was seen He_said: “I have been in charge of this church for eighteen months. I heard rumors about a year ago that there was some- thing suspicious about the manner in which Rev. Mr. Simonds parted- with his property and the treatment he was re- celving. T reported the matter at the ‘ministers’ meeting, and Rev. A. H. Briggs and myself were appointed a committee to investigate. gentleman many times, but whenever I called at his house I was told he was out. The only time I saw him was when I went there with Dr. Briggs. T felt sure that he was not mentally competent, and he seemed to resent our investigation. His appearance was cleanly at the time, and l'leI sald he was well treated by Mrs. Hart- wigsen. 4 “I think that something should have Church, on last . evening. been done then by the Methodist Confer- jence about Mr. Simonds.

The Board of Education held a con- ference last night for‘the purpose of dis- cussing a proposed amended plan for the election of new teachers. The four di- rectors, together with Superintendent of Schools Webster, considered the plan put in operation last year, which provides for | the appointment of teachers in one ot three ways—namely—by oral and written | examinations and training school experi. | | ence—with a view to impktoving it. While | no conclusion was arrived at regarding the adoption of a new plan it was the | consensus . of opinion .that the old one | could be modified in justice to applicants for positions as teachers. 1 As one important result of the confer- ence it was decided that it is absolutely necessary to have an examination in the | near future for the election of at least fifty additional teachers. President Den~ man stated that the eligible lst of fifty formed by the last board was being rapidly decreased owing to the resigna- { tlons of regular teachers and the estab- lishment of new glasses. There have Deen twenty-seven new teachers assigned to classes and the re- maining twenty-three are kept constantly at work as substitutes. In fact it is fre quently necessary to call in-outside tutors to relieve regular teachers. While no date was decided upon it is quite probable that the first examination under the new plan yet to be adopted will be called in one or two months, probably in April. Superintendent Webster made a. plea for the transfer of some twelve teachers now on the evening eligible list to the day eligible list. -Webster was supported by Director Woodward, but the other three directors were not disposed to favor the plan. Webster said that if the transfers were made it would permit of the post- ponement of the examination until next July. In the meantime thesboard could take its time in agreeing on the best’ method of electing teachers. ‘Webster made a plea for a competitive | written examination, which he held is the jonly way to remove political | effectually in, the selection of teachers. influence His plan provides that the papers of the applicants shall be exposed to the vublic gaze for one or two months, so that each applicant could see that he or she was being treated fairly. Five judges or ex- aminers would be selected, two by “the Board of Education, two by the School Superintendent and one by the four so selected, neither to be in any way con- | nected with the school department. Director Denman expressed himself In favor of a combination of the three methods now in effect. When the plan was adopted last year Denman introduced a resolution providing that certain cred- its be allowed for oral and written ex- aminations " and training school experi- ence, but it was voted down. When the matter comes to a vote Denman will re- introduce the same resolution. Director | Mark is in favor of the present plan as | being the best for the purpose, while | Roncovieri wanted more time to consider the various plans presented. Another conference will be held soon, when it is | expected the board will finally agree op | the plan to be adopted. CONNORS CAUGHT AT BAKERSFIELD Absconding Treasurer of the Hod- Carriers’ Union Is Placed o Under Arrest. Timothy Connors, the absconding treas- urer of the Hod-carriers’ Union, was ar- rested yesterday In Bakersfield. Detec- tive Reynolds leaves to-day to bring him back. Connors, while acting as treasurer of the union, ran away, it is alleged, with its | funds, amounting to about $1000. After stealing the money he went to Fresno was arrested. It is the sintention of the officers of the union to vigorously prose- cute him for felony embezzlement. I had tried to see the old | a chance to see him alone. We thought that as he had sothe property and had ar- . M ranged that Mrs. Hartwigsen should care for him that everything might be all right. I have. not seen Mr. Simonds since that time. My treasurer, J. Willis, has told me, however, ‘that in the last six. months he frequently called to see Mr. Si- monés, but was-always informed that he was either out or -asleep. He has not seen him in six-months.” To. Ask for a’ Guardian. . When Rev. Dr. Baker learned last night from the lips of some nelghbors that they had seen Rev. Mr. Simonds Igcked up in an outhouse on' many occasions he was shocked at the news. . He immediately communicated with Brother ministers and arranged to_take legal steps to-day to ‘have a guardian -appointed for the person’ and estate of the aged clergyman. At the Methodist Book Concern’s offices; 1037 Market street, it was stated by Rev. Br. F. D. Bovard, editor of the California Church Advocate, that'the report of the committee appointed a year ago to see as to the condition of Rev. Mr. Simonds had I b | i been received, but no action had been | | taken. “The conference looks after indigent clergy,” he said, “but in this case it was reported that Rev. Mr. Simonds had some property and had made arrangements to be looked after. It was thought at that time that he was being properly ‘treated. We understood that he received $2000 for his property and that a condition of the sale was that the woman who bought the house was to look after-him for the rest of his life. It is a revelation to me to learn that he was to pay $2 a month for his board after receiving but $2000 for his property. This whole" matter 'certainly will be immediately investigated by the proper officers of the church.” Had a Brilliant Carcer. ! The records of the Methodist Hpiscopal church show that Rev. S. D. Simonds was born_on December 1, 1813, at Burlington, Vt. He was educated in iastern colleges and was married to Miss A. Peabody of ‘Wheatland, Monroe, County, New York State, who was considered one of the brightest women of the East. Accompanied by his wife, the minister | came to California in 1843’ and bounded into popularity. He visited the minin; camps, and his superb eloquence an magnetism won for him the respect of the rough population, He was an intimate friend of General Vallejo and his fame was spread throughout the Golden State. He was the first editor of the California Christlan Advocate, serving in that posi- tion from 1851 to 1856. In 1856 he was a, pointed preuldini elder of the Shasta dis- trict of the Methodist Church, a position equivalent to that of a Bishop of a diocese in_the Episcopal denomination.” | For a number of years he was pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, on_Powell street, between Washington and Jackson streets, and his remarkable taleat brought worshipers from all parts of the city. Mind Weakened When Wife Dicd. During his long career he was ably sec- onded in his work by his wife, and when she died, on October 16, 1898, he lost the vigor of mind that had stamped him as one of the gsreat men of his church. Rev. Mr. Simonds has not had charge ! of a church for the last twenty-seven ears, but for some time he was employed n the Custom-house. He was a regular attendant at the Methodist conference at Pacific_Grove up to the time his wife died. TFive vears ago he addressed the ministers assembled at- the conference, | and his speech was declared to be a ro. ! markable one for a man of his years. He attended Retv.
