explain the standing of its officers and

Judge Sewalls court yesterday.
The suit was brought against the
association by the Wells Fargo Nevada
national bank in an endeavor to find
out who had the right to draw checks
on the S1,450 deposited in the bank,
protests having been made by opposing
factions.
Mrs d. J. Murphy says that she is
the true president of the association,
which was founded in 1886 by Mrs.
Theodore Hittell, and E. M Kirk says
he has the real right toi presidency.
According to Mrs. Murphy's testimony
Kirk called meeting at his home in
Oakland In March, 1908, and had him
self elected president. Meetings were
held with more or less irregularity
each month, teach of which protests
were entered against Kirk. until Au-
gust, 1908. when Mrs. Murphy called a
meeting at Senator Perkins office and
had herself recognized as president.
Meetings were held each month, and
late in 1908 Kinks, resignation, dated
July 8, was accepted with condemnatory
resolutions.
Prior to this, however, he had sold
the society's property in Piedmont, say
ing it was too foggy for worms there
and deposited the money.
Kirk is said to have declared that the
funds of the organization, amounting
to nearly $1,000, should be divided
among the members and to have asked
