gram Has Been Com
pleted.

DR.. John w. Hamilton, President
of the American university at Wash
ington, D. c., will deliver the bacca-
laureate sermon to the Senior class
OF the Fairmont State Normal school

The time for holding the baccalau-
reate exercises was changed from af-
ternoon to morning at recent meet
ing of school officials. Many years
ago the churches Of the city did away
with the morning services on .bacca-
laureate day and attended the Nor
NAL exercises in body. This prac-
tice was abandoned some time ago
for various reasons and the bacca-
laureate sermon was preached in the
afternoon. This year the sermon will
be preached in the morning at the
Normal school auditorium.
Plans are about completed for the
Normal commencement exercises
which begin with the baccalaureate
sermon on June and extend through
June 8.

three Serior classes will take place
on the morning OF June 8 and on that
evening the Alumni banquet will be
served. Monday evening, June 4, tue
Junior Normal class will present a

ment exercises to be held at the new
building unusual interest attaches to
exercises which promise to be of a
high class. One hundred and twen-
ty-eight students will be graduated

Rity of Texas and a former West Vir-
ginIan. will deliver the commence

RECEIVERSHIP
IS VACATED
Penna. Supreme Court Sets
Famous Case Back to
Beginning.
FAYETTE Co. REVERSED
Courts Decision Was Based
Upon Two Appeals From
Court Below.
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE Penn
sylvania Supreme court today revers-
ed the Fayette county court which
some time ago appointed received
for j. v. Thompson and the case stands
the same as prior to the receivedship
proceeding.
The Supreme courts decision was
announced in disposing Of two appeals
coatesting the validity Of the receiver
ship.
In reversing the Fayette county
court the higher tribunal dismissed
the bill and vacated the proceeding.
Three receivers were appointed by
the county court on January 10, 1915,
to handle Thompson's affairs. 1t was
said that the Thompson estates is
valued at $70,0O0,0OO and that his In
debtedness at the time the receiver
was appointed amounted to about $22,-
100000, of which $15,0O0,000 was Sc
cured by mortgages on substantially
the entire property of Thompson which
included coal lands and security In
coal companies and other concerns.
Thompson who was banker consent
cd to the receivership proceedings de-
ilaring IL his resources were consery-
edall creditors, secured and unsecured,
could be paid in full In a reasonable
dime.
Subsequent to the appointment of
the receivers certain attachments were
issued against his property, the ex-
seution Of which was contested. Sew
eral acts of receivers were also op-
posed and an effort to have receiver
ship vacated by the Fayette county
court failed.
The court in its opinion said that
the county court had no jurisdiction
to appoint receivers for the property
of Mr.. Thompson as an individual. "If
the defendant is solvent as is alleged"
the court said, "a court Of equity has
no powers to place his property be-
yond the reach of his creditors or to
enjoin them from resorting to the
remedies which the law has given to
them for the protection of their claims.
"Even in the case Of a corporation
a receiver will not be appointed where
the only effect would be to hinder and
delay the collection of valid claims
and the courts are without authority
to make such appointment" the opin-
ion said.

At THE GUARD CAMP
Major Kalbaugh of the Med.
ical Corps Will Retire

they had asked for 1t or not. This
discharge took Color Sergeant Ray
Arnett and Sergeant Major John Wy
att, Of the headquarters company.
There was a very large crowd at the
camp yesterday considering the
weather. The performance came OF
in excellent style and the spectators
were greatly pleased.
An indication of the manner in
which some of the men eat at camp
may be ascertained from the follow
ing menu which was served to the
crack machine company, of which
Glenn Williams, Of Clarksburg, is
captain: Pickles, radishes, young
onions, lettuce, baked chicken, sage
dressing, mashed potatoes, green
peas, stewed sugar corn, potato salad,

such an office having been ordered
By Major Kalbaugh before his reslg-
nation. DR.. Lorraine L. Painter, a
