And puzzled our weary brains
Over those examinations
And we took particular pains.

We got mixed up in our German
Our Geometry wouldn't come right;
But oh, those English papers
They surely were a sight.

And hope that great honors Wen win

RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR
THEATER FURNITURE FIRM
Too Many Generals and Scarcity Of
PriVates Causes Dissension,
Says Judge

Too many generals and too few pri-
Yates was the reason given by Judge
James yesterday for the dissensions
in the corporation manned by a. j.
Charette, Edwin II. Flagg and Charles
F. Thompson, manufacturers of the
ater furniture and stage decorators,
and who have a contract to supply
stage curtains to a line of playhouses
extending from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, including the Majestic theater in
Los Angeles.
The corporation was formed about
two years ago and shortly afterward.
it is claimed, Thompson and Charette
sought to control its affairs, refusing
to allow Flagg to have any voice in
the business. The latter dropped out
and began business for himself, and
similar step was taken by Thompson.
Later they united their interests and,
it is claimed. endeavored to remove
Charette from his connection with the
old company.
The latter's suit for an injunction
to prevent this and for an accounting
was heard by Judge James yesterday.
The court held there were too many
generals and too few priVates associat-
ed to admit of harmonious relations,
and appointed a receiver with author
ity to dispose of the company's assets,
pay off the debts and divide the re-
manner among the three men.
