BUILDING SITE
CAUSES SPLIT

The University Club is in the throes
of discord, all occasioned by the differ
ence of opinion in regard to selecting a
site for a new club building. Follow
ing a heated discussion at the meeting
last night, William Bourne and his
board of directors suddenly resigned
their offices and SO soon as the meeting
adjourned at once left the clubhouse.
The opposing element remained in pos
session of the field. The discussion in
regard to the new building has been
going on for some time and has engen-
dered a great deal of bitter feeling. The
Bourne faction, on one side, wanted
the Castle property, on the corner of
Van Ness avenue and Sutter street,
while the other faction wanted the
property on the northeast corner of
Stockton and Pine streets, known as
the Laws property.
At the last meeting of the club
Bourne appointed a special committee,
composed of F. ]. Symmes, j. A. Mof-
fit. j. A. Wright, w. b. Story Jr. and
A. Stillman, to canvass the subject
They brought in their decision last
night averse to the Bourne contingent.
which that party considered as a
knockout-hence the designations.
Bourne also wanted the dues raised to
$3.50 fiat. This also was a great bone of
contention. The regular annual meet
ing will take place next Tuesday. In
the meantime the club is without any
officers. The board that resigned last
night is composed of w. B. Bourne,
president; ]. S. Tobin, vice president;
Knox Maddox, secretary, and Directors
NJ. F. Michael. George H. Lent, Benja-
min Ide Wheeler and S. B. McNear.
