NO RECEIVER YET.
Thomas Fox Declines to Act for
the Union B. and l.. Association.

A receiver has not vet been appointed
to take charge of the Union Building
and Loan Associations affairs, and The
name of Thomas Fox, who was the
choice of Judge Johnson, before whom
the matter is pending, has been with
drawn.
When the matter was called yester-
day morning Judge Johnson said Mr..
Fox had requested that his name he
withdrawn. He was sorry that such
request had been made as he felt sat-
isfied there was no tangible reason why
Mr.. Fox would not have made an eN
cellent receiver. His name had not
been suggested by any party interested
or involved in the case, but he hao
been appointed because of his peculiar
fitness for the position
Judge Johnson further said that had
not Mr.. Fox voluntarily Withdrawn his
name it would have taken strong rea-
sons 10 induce him to change his mind
and appoint another person, for had he
accepted, no unnecessary suits would
have been brought, and the stockhold-
erS would have received what was due
them
The Judge said if all the attorneys In
terested could agree upon some person
for receiver he might possibly appoint
him, put would not agree to do so until
he had inquired into his abilities and
qualifications to so act
Attorney L. T. Hatfield said the only
suggestion he had to make for the par
ties he represented was that some per-
son familiar With. the business be ap-
pointed, who should know real es-
tate values, not only in this, but in
other counties in the State.
Judge Johnson said the person ap-
pointed must be entirely independent
and not interested in the matter He
was by no means certain that he should
appoint the person agreed on by the
attorneys if such an agreement could
be had, but would continue the matter
until 10 O'Clock this morning in order
to allow interested parties time FOR
consultation.
1t was subsequently learned that Mr.
Fox's reason for Withdrawing was be-
cause his duties as Postmaster take up
SO much of his time that he might not
be able to give the affairs of the asso-
citation the attention they require.
Attorney w. H. Devlin called atten-
ton to the fact that a contract had
been let for pruning the vines in the
Briggs vineyard, near Woodland, and
that The bill-S250-would fall due this
morning. He asked that an order be
made fol the payment of the same.
3. u. Steinman, President of the as
sociation, explained that unless the
vines had been trimmed the vineyard
would have been unproductive this sea-
son, and for that reason the contract in
question had been let
The court will make an order for the
payment of the bill this morning

"pARSTFAL" TONIGHT,
A Dram attic and Musical Lecture

be Parsifal." The lecture is described
| by those who have heard it as dramatic
| in the extreme and as brilliant in the
| highest degree. tParsival," or "Parsi-

Richard Wagner. The poem was com
posed by him in 1877, the music in 1879.
1t was first performed at Beyreuth in
July 1882.
1t has relation to the medieval legend
Of the search for the Holy Grail as
known in the myth of "Percival." This
| first appeared in the form of an epic
poem in the French by Chrestien de
Troyes in the twelfth century. From
this il has passed into the literature of
nearly every European nation The le-
gend. however. is earlier, and appeared
/ il several prose forms. 1t is traced by
some, says the Century book of titles,
to the Welsh "Peredur,' name which
means search for the BASIN Some
writers contend that ii is from the old
Welsh Red Book and is an adaptation of
the French poem mixed with local ira
ditions.
Properly. however. "Parsival." or
/ "PaTz.vaI" is the legendary hero of the
epic poem of that name, written by the
German poet Wolfram Won Esehenbach
after the French originals, between 1908
and 12l5, 1t is OF Wagner's dramatic

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
RIRS. DAVIDSON AND MRS. KEM-
NITZER INJURED.
Both Will Recover, but They Had
a Narrow Escape for
Their Lives.

In a runaway accident at Tenth and
c streets yesterday afternoon Mrs.
George Davidson, who resides at Front
and L streets, and Mrs. Kernnitzer,
whose home is at 1908 Fifth street,
were seriously injured.
The two women, with Mrs. Kemniz-
er's little boy, were riding behind a
spirited animal, which at the point
mentioned took the bit between it's
teeth and started on a wild run south
ward on Tenth street.
In turning a corner sharply the buggy
capsized and Mrs. Davidson was
thrown out, the little boy falling on
her head first. Mrs. Kemnitzer fell
between the horse and the dashboard
and landed on her head. DR.. Simmons
was near when the accident occurred,
and he was soon Joined by DR.. Watt
and City Physician Ogden, all of whom
did their best for the victims Of the
accident.
Mrs. Davidson was injured in the
side and hip, and it was subsequently
learned that one of her ribs had been
broken She was taken to her home
in the city patrol wagon, and was rest
ing easily last night. Dr.. Ogden was
of the opinion that she had received nc
injuries more serious than the broken
rib.
Mrs. Kemnitzer was rendered un-
| conscious by her fall, and remained in
a state of catalepsy for more than an
hour The physicians who attended her
said that beyond doubt there had been
a concussion of the brain, and for a
time they We're uncertain as TO what
the outcome would be. She was taken
to a nearby residence, but after recov-
ering consciousness was removed to
her home on Fifth street. The physi-
clan in charge stated last night that
she was practically out of danger.
Beyond a bump over the eye, Mrs.
Kemnitzer's little boy was not injured.
Shortly after the women were thrown
out the horse broke from the buggy
and continued its run southwark 1t
entered the City Cemetery at Tenth and
Y streets, and in making the circuit
of the inclosure left it's harness hang

to the next board to bind it by making
the election for four years
Director Panabaker said il seemed TO
him that the board was the creature
Of the charter, and should work un-
der it, and could not contract for four
years. If the State law was four years,
however, the board would be powerless
in the matter.
Director Sherburn Withdrew his
amendment, aud Director Elliott's mo-
ton was carried.
ERLEWINE ELECTED.
The roll was called, with the follow
ing result:
Erlewine-Driver, Sherburn, Stack,
Perkins, Johnson and Panabaker.
Dunn-Ranson, Atkinson and Elliott.
Erlewine was declared duly elected
superintendent for the ensuing term
VACANCY FILLED.
The election of a teacher to fill the
vacancy made by the resignation OF
Miss Merwin came next in order.
A communication was read from Miss
Goyan recommending the election OF
Miss Sadie McDermitt to fill the va
cancy, speaking very highly of her
work as a substitute.
Director Panabaker thought the board
should first fill the vacancy by the elec-
ton of the first substitute, and then
elect a substitute.
Director Elliott asked regarding sub
stitutes. and was informed that they
were appointed teachers serving the
six months probationary time neces-
sary.
Director Atkinson said there was no
such thing as substitute teacher.
They We're elected into the departments
and assigned by the Superintendent.
Director Panabaker moved that it be
considered the sense of the board that
the Superintendent fill the vacancy
caused by Miss Merwin's resignation
with Miss McDermitt.
The motion was carried.
Nominations for substitute being
next in order, Director Ransom nomin-
ated Miss Nellie a. Harris.
Director Stack nomina ted Miss Ag-
gle Murphy.
Director Driver nominated Mrs.
Fountain.
Director Sherburn nominated Miss

was discussed at considerable length,
and deferred until the next meeting.
