Alexandria's reputation for prepar-

Status Of Case Said to be
Unchanged by Court
Decision.
NOT BINDING IN Law.
Attorney Explains Opinions-Estab-
lished Right of Board to Make
Agreement.
Agreement.

Richmond, Sept. 19.-The mistaken
impression that the decision of Judge
lChichester in the controversy be-
tween majority and minority men,
bers of the Randolph Macon board of
trustees makes it legally obligatory
upon the board to submit names to
the Methodist conferences for con-
firmation before filling vacancies on
the board was corrected last night
by A. w. Patterson, attorney for the
majority members "The decision of
Judge Chichester" said Mr.. Patter-
son, merely establishes the right of
the board to enter into such an agree
ment with the conferences of the
Church" An attempt on the part
of the conference to force the board
to abide by that agreement would
hardly hold in law, he thought.
However" said Mr.. Patterson,
"the question is an academic one.
The agreement is binding in honor
and of course neither side will ever
wish to violate it"
The injunction secured by d minor
ity of the members of the board Of
justices restraining the majority
from taking action und.sr this reso-
luton was based on the claim that
such an agreement delegated to the
Inference a portion of their char
ter rights.
Judge Chichester refused to make
the injunction permanent.
"The conferences of the Methodist
Church have no nominating power
whatever in the matter of filing va
cancies on the board of trustees OF
the Randolph Macon school system,
is the statement made by Mr.. Patter-
son. The sole power. under the reso'
luton adopted as full settlement OF
the difficulties between the board
and the conferences, is that of ratifi-
cation. Then filing vacancies which
have occurred on the board, the board
names the men and sends these rec
Jmcndations to the conference,
which approves or disapproves as it
may see fit, but in no case does It
have the power TO name the new men,.
If it disapproves of the selection
made by the board the fact is noted
and other recommendation are made
by the trustees.
The resolution of the board of
trustees is as follows:
"When vacancies Of the board OF
trustees arise there shall be submit
tee one name for each vacancy to
the conference for approval during
the session at which same Is present
ed and when approved we (the board)
will elect.
"This resolution is offered as a
full settlement of the difference be-
tween the conference and the board
of trustees
