-A-natleaIt Fallowed Mr. Ferklaa's Charge that th Pas-. tr Had Last Hla Efficiency and Driven Rich. Mem frasa tha Weat shytrlna Chareh. What was it that Trustee E.

H. Perkins, JT-. of th West Presbyterian Church said to th Rev. Dr. John R.

Paxton when ha was sent by the Board of Trustees to ask Dr. Paxton to aigree to a reduction ot salary? Did Trustee Perkins tell Dr. Paxton that he had lost his efficiency, that he waa no longer desired by th congregation, and that th only condition oa which he could remain as pastor was by, humbly requesting some of th rich-men whom he had driven from the church by his plain preaching, as to come back Into the fold? The future of the West- Presbyterian Church Is involved in th settlement of th question ot -veracity between Dr. Paxton and Trustee Perkins, growing out of that private conversation. Incidentally, it is significant that Trustee Edward H.

Perkins. Jr is president of the Importers and Traders' National Bank, (Russell Sage's bank.) and that Mr. Sage, who Is also a Trustee ot the West Presbyterian Church, has been prominent and outspoken during the recent controversies in his opposition to Dr. Paxton. No later than Wednesday night Mr.

Sage showed his antagonism to Dr. Paxton by declaring emphatically that the pastor could not withdraw his resignation. The fact that there was such a conversation between Dr. Paxton and Perkins as that described is known to but very few. probably to.

but four members of th church. It leaked out yesterday that this conversation, which has not heretofore publicly in the recent troubles of the church, was the reel cause of Dr. Pax-ton's sudden and unexplained resignation. To the four members of the West Presbyterian Church above -alluded, to ell of them friends ot Dr. aPaxton the latter has declared since his retirement to Bridge-villa that he was "driven out of New-Tork by Trustee Perkins." They have telegraphed to him to act slowly.

Inasmuch as Wednesday night's meeting did not, in their Judgment, represent the true sentiment of the congregation when all tha facts shall be made known to them. It is charged that Dr. Paxton's resignation was the result of Trustee Perkins's private talk with him. and it ta also charged that Trustee Perkins was not authorised by the Trustees to say a word of what he did say. Dr.

Joseph Finch of 109 West Forty-fourth Street, who was one of the committee that went to Brtdgeville, and prevailed on Dr. Paxton to recall his resignation, acknowledged yesterday to a reporter for The New-York Times that Dr. Paxton had told him of the conversation which Trustee Perkins bad with the pastor Just prior to his resignation. Dr. Finch said, though, that the statements made by Dr.

Pax too were so surprising that he did not feel at liberty to reveal them at pi ant. He would prefer to have the facta com from some member of the Board ot Trustee of the church. W. H. Granbery.

one of th Trustee of the West Presbyterian Church, was found at his home. 29 Wot Fifty-third Street. He at first was reticent, but when conf cooled with the statement of one of Dr. Paxton's friends In relation to the Perkins episode, he consented to tell the whole story to The New-York Timea -This thing baa now gone so far," aald Mr. Granbery.

that in Justice ta all the Pardee concerned I think I am at liberty to tell the whole story. 1 have been a member of the Board of Weat Preabvteriaa Church for four years, and I am thoroughly familiar with the finances of the church. I need wit m.ka the statement that we have re cently passed through a period ot great financial depression. -Fne revenues oi our tuuivu wr dent last year to pay Dr, Paxton's salary of 215.000. and also to provide for certain extraordinary expensea The coming on of a panic, however, led to a discussion ta ourBoerd of Trustees as to the best way In which to trim our sails during the coming Paxton, as is known to aB th congregation, returned to his pnlptt.la the middle of September.

Rafter an enforced vacation, du to the surgical operations which be underwent at th hospital and he nreached regularly until and including Oct 22. A special meeting of the Board of Trustees was called for-Monday. Oct- 2A wis living out of the night was stormy, and only five members of the board attended. The financial stringency and its probable effect on tha church were discussed, and the Chairman of th board directed Trustee E. H- Perkins, to confer wtth Dr.

Paxton. and find out If he was willing to accept a reduction of salary from 2U.000.to 210.000 per year until further ordcrvciV a Trustee Parkins interviewed Dr. Paxton Belly. Brewa. Taylor.

The following Sunday, Oct. 29, Dr. Paxton did not occupy his pulpit. A special meeting of the Board of Trustees was held Monday night, Oct. AX Trustee Perkins reported that he had seen Dr.

Paxton. but had gotten into a talk on other subjects, mainly relating, he said, to the pastor's physical condition, and had not broached the subject of a reduction of salary. Thereupon the Trustees sent Mr. Perkins back to Dr. Paxton to confer with htm about the reduction of hla salary.

Dr. Paxton replied to the Trustees in a short, frank note, accepting th reduction. "A day or two after that Dr. Paxton sent his resignation to the Session of the church. This Is a body composed of the deacons of the church.

The Trustees held a regular meeting Nov. 12. Mr. Perkins reported that Dr. Paxton had agreed to a reduced salary, to take effect Nov.

Mr. Perkins presented the pastor's written agreement to a reduction. At that time we had beard rumors that Dr. Paxton had sent his resignation to th Session. At the congregational meeting on Nor.

IS Robert affray aald that the deacons had voted unanimously to accept Dr. Paxton's resignation. Mr. Perkins made a statement-as a Trustee, and said that he presented, at the request of the Trustees, a resolution recommending th acceptance of Dr. Pax-ton's resignation.

It was represented that Dr. Paxton's disabilities would last for an indefinite period. There was a general Impression In the congregation, after hearing Mr. Perkins, that the Trustees hsd acted unanimously on th subject ot Dr. Paxton's resignation.

"In reality, however, they had not so acted. At that meeting, under an entire misapprehension of the facta I voted to accept Dr. Paxton's resignation. The congregation voted not to accept the resignation, and appointed a committee, consisting of O. Hilton Brown.

B. L. Fairchild, and Dr. Joseph Finch, to go to Brtdgeville, and prevail on Dr. Paxton to withdraw his resignation.

The committee called on me. told me about Mr. Perkins's conversation with Dr. Paxton. and about other facts which I had not known concerning Dr.

Paxton's physical condition and the circumstances of his resignation. I agreed to go with the committee to Brtdgeville. Before we went I learned ti vt Dr. Paxton's physician. Dr.

Dana, had pronounced him to be recovered, and to be as sound, mentally and physically, aa any man in New-York. Now is the time for plain words. We saw Dr. Paxton on his farm, near Brldge-vtlle. We found him apparently in good health and in splendid condition.

We learned from Dr. Paxton the truth about his resignation. We learned that Trustee Perkins had not properly executed his commission from the Board of Trustees. We found out from Dr. Paxton that, instead of conferring with Dr.

Paxton. as instructed, on the subject of a reduction ot salary. Trustee Perkins had gone to him and hsd told him that he had lost his efficiency, that he was no longer acceptable to the congregation, and that If he would remain be must go to the rich men whom he had driven from the church, as alleged, by bis preaching, and personally request them to return. ''Just here I will say that before we PRINCETON'S WINNING TEAM. went to Brtdgeville, and in order that it might not be said that we were preparing for a defense of Dr.

Paxton. we went to a prominent member of the Board of Trustees and also to a prominent deacon, and related to them all we had heard about Trustee Perkins's conversation with the pastor. Although Dr. Paxton was In good health be was somewhat nervous over the affairs of the past month in the West Presbyterian Church. On the first mention of our mission.

Dr. Paxton confirmed all that we had heard In relation to the talk between him and Trustee Perkins. Dr. Paxton told us that Trustee Perkins bad driven him from New-York. We acquainted Dr.

Paxton with the real situation. "It there is any dispute as to why Dr. Paxton really resigned, and aa to the conversation which Mr. Perkins had with him. It will resolve Itself Into a simple question of veracity between Dr.

Paxton and Trustee Perklcs. So far as I know. Mr. Perkins has made no explanation to the Trustees or to th congregation of the part he took la Dr. Paxton's resignation.

At the congregational meeting Wednesday night Mr. Perkins said he ild not see how the church could pay Dr. Paxton'a salary of 215.000. Ha did not ten the congregation that Dr. Paxton had alravdy accepted a reduction to 210.000.

ot the- Westt Presbyterian Church had fallen du per tniUi aiuiuuju waa 111 a pasiuua know that there was no truth In that statement. The sexton's report has Indicated that the rentals ot pews. Ac. already provide for almost our entire prospective expenses, to say nothing of the Increased rentals which are sure to come in the Winter months. "As soon as the report was spread that Dr.

Paxton would not remain as our pastor, we received application for the return of several rentals for pews. Ws have also received notice from several who bad agreed to take pews that they would not take them. There Is a clique In the West Presbyter-Ian Church which has been anxious to get rid of Dr. Paxton. They have not liked his straightforward sermons about riches, and they took his illness and enforced absence as an opportunity to turn him off.

They have used the opportunity to the best of their ability." Trtute Perclns was found last night at his home. East Fortieth Street. He was asked in regard to hla talk with Dr. Paxton prior to the lattere resignation. I do not care to aay anything on that subject now.

Pleas excuse me." said Mr. Perkins. The eatbedral at Marselllee was consecrated yesterday. Tea thoosmnd persons erere present. The corcerstooe was bud by Kapoleoa 1U.

Weather means a lot to the Tbanksglv lrg football crowd. Hence when the morning broke gray and forbidding, why, thing wer said beneath pretty lips and growls came from beneath fierce mustaches. Up to 11 o'clock or so sun and cloud had a series of scrimmages and tackles on their own account.

At length th line of the sullen rain vapor yielded to tha persistent rushes ot the sunbeams behind. The wind. too. which had Joined forces with the mists of the earlier morning, thought better ot it as the day advanced. 4 True it was that when the game was called a few wandering puffs and gusts were still finding their way into the hollow ot the field.

But on tha whole the work of these waa confined to stirring Cags and streamers and the long locks of the players. The wind didn't seriously hamper the game, although, as everybody knows, an absolutely windless day la preferable for the chase of the plgskla. Spectators and players were grateful for the gorgeous sunshine of the afternoon. Msnhsttsn Field on a cloudy, windy day Is not a desirable place to sojourn for five-or six hours at a stretch.
