citation.
Yesterday Judges Lochren, Hooker
and CAVITY heard the petition for the
appointment of a receiver for the Edu-
cational Endowment association. The
petition is signed by AL members, and
sets forth that owing to the decrease in
the number of association members
and the payment out of the fund of
$1S0000, leaving balance of but S62,-
54S. the levying of large assessments
will become necessary. which will prac-
tically defeat the object of the asSocia-
tion,
To the petition are the names of
eighfy-one professors. and their attor-
neyS yesterday argued that the petition
be dismissed because the beneficiaries.
who are the owners of the fund. have
not been brought within the juriSdic-
ton of the court by any process. and
that the court cannot legally dispose of
fund without giving the owners. he
they minors or adults, chance TO be
heard. Judge Lochren denied the mo-
ton to dismiss, as it appears majority
of the stockholders had signed the pc
titiOn. The point as to the rights of
benefieiaries the judge did not think
we'll taken.
The directors then filed an answer
in which they deny the principal points
of the petition. and allege that new
members could have been obtained dur
ing the past year, and can now be OBJ
tanned if proper effort was made by the
manager, Jacob Merritt. The answer
also alleges that the reason Mr.. Merritt

he has organized the Educational Prov
dent association, and desires to trans
fer the business of that association to
the new concern. The answer asks.
therefore, that the prayer for receiver
be denied. The hearing on the facts
will be taken up at 10 O'Clock this morn.
