KOLB AND DILL OPEN
ENGAGEMENT MONDAY
Twelve Weeks of Musical Conn
edy at the Princess

Kolb and Dill. who have been San
Francisco favorites ever since old
Fischer days, are returning to their
home city for a season of II weeks of
musical comedy at the Princess the
ater.
The opening performance will be
given next Monday night, when
Dream City will be presented.
This piece has been serving the fun
makers with starring roles for several
weeks and it has been put through a
short and successful season in Los An
geIes. Considerably improved by the
pruning and additions which have been
effected, Kolb and Dill predict that
they have a play that San Franciscans
will hugely enjoy.
II will be remembered that the last
engagement which Kolb and Dill
PLAYED few months ago at the Prin-
cess was found to be altogether too
short They could have remained at
the Ellis street home of musical COM
edy indefinitely but for the fact that
prior bookings prevented their longer
stay.
An excellent company is said to have
been gathered by Kolb and Dill and
the scenery and costumes which have
been provided will be. it is promised,
elaborate Some special electrical and
mechanical effects are introduced in

EWING RESIGNS FROM
ANDERSON'S OFFICE
Chief Deputy to Bank Superin-
tendent Leaves October 4

Charles Ewing, chief deputy to Alden
Anderson, superintendent of banks,
filed his resignation yesterday morning
to take effect october 4. No reason
was assigned for the resignation, but
ii was intimated that i'll health was
the real cause.
Ewing, when he received the appoint
ment from Anderson, was cashier of
the National Bank of Commerce of Los
Angeles. He was one of the organizers
of the Institution. having gone to Los
Angeles from Chicago, where he was
assistant cashier of the Bankers ma
tional bank.
Since the state banking department
has come under the supervision of An
derson, Ewing has been his chief aid
and his thorough knowledge of the
banking business has been a great he,p
to Anderson. His own health and that
of his family has not been of the best,
however, and he will probably returp
to the southern part of the state.
Anderson left the city yesterday
morning, and il has not been ascer-
tanned who is likely to be the new
chief deputy Several banking men
have been mentioned, but none of them
by Anderson.
The application of the Los Nietos
valley bank of Downey to establish a
branch bank at Watts was filed in the
office of the superintendent yesterday

old Ethel Bevell, who was thrown from
the double whirl September is, was
placed directly upon the Chutes amuse-
ment company yesterday by the verdict
of a coroner,s jury. The passage of
an ordinance providing for inspection
by competent mechanics of all contriv
ances for public amusement was rec
commended by the jury. Defective con-
struction was blamed for the breaking
of the rod on the double whirl which
hurled Ethel Bevell and j. j. Haviside
.Jr. TO the ground, the girl being fatally
injured.
John Behn, engineer of the double
whirl, was the storm center of the in
quest. He testified that he was at his
post when the accident occurred and
brought the machine to an almost inn
mediate stop. Mrs j. j. Haviside Jr.
testified that the machine made com
plete revolution after the accident be-
fore coming TO a stop. Others testified
that Behn was away from the engine.
Behn said he tested every rod and
bolt in the machine daily. and made the
usual tests the morning of September
Is, but found nothing defective.
