Pleasures. —_— Otto Bendix, proprietor of the Cali- fornia Conservatory of Music and one | of the best known pianists and music | teachers in America, died suddenly at | his home, 1329 Sutter street, shortly be- | fore 6 o'clock yesterday morning. He | { had spent Monday afternoon and even- ! | ing with friends, who found him in | high spirits and apparently perfect | health. Shortly after retiring for the night he became seriously ill, and his | { death followed in spite of all that could | | be done for him. His physicians believe death was due to heart failure, but an autopsy will be held. Professor Bendix was a native of Co- penhagen, Denmark, where he was born about fifty-three years ago. His father, a prominent merchant, was a talented amateur musician, and at his house the royal orchestra was accustomed to meet for rehearsals. Thus the lad grew | up in a musical atmosphere, and before he had reached his tenth year was playing*the piano with the orchestra. From that time he devoted himself | to preparation for a musical career, studying first at the Danish capital un- der the celebrated Antoine Ree, later | at Berlin with divers masters and final- ly at Weimar under the supervision and | Instruction of the great Liszt. His first public appearances as a soloist were made at Weimar, with the Grand Duke las a patron of the concerts. Thus completing his studies, he re- ! turned to Copenhagen and was at once | installed as a teacher in the National Conservatory, where he spent the next | thirteen years. In 1380 he determined to | settle in America. His first concert in [ this country was given at Boston and | at once won him enviable reputation as | an interpreter of great music. He be- came an instructor in the New Eng- land Conservatory at Boston, where he was long a popular teacher. His con- certs in all the leading American citles made him known as one of the most | | brilliant instrumentalists of the mod- | | ern school, his rendition of the works of the famous masters combining re- markable technique with a truthfulness |and sympathy of interpretation that never failed to receive the enthusiastic | applause of musie lovers. He was al- | ways singularly successful as a teacher, possessing in a noteworthy degree the | ability to impart knowledge and to en- st the interest of his pupils. Several usical compositions of merit are cred- | ited to his pen, but he will be remem- bered rather as a teacher and an in- terpreter of the music of others than as a composer. Professor Bendix married twice, his | second wife, who survives him, being the accomplished Mi Ellen Gunn of Kansas City, Mo.. who had been one of | | his pupils at Boston. Soon after their. | marriage, which occurred ten years ago, they came to San Francisco, where | his wife aided Professor Bendix greatly | in his professional work. Three years | ago they opened the California Con-| servatory in the large house at 1329 Sut- ter street. It proved a great success | from the start and its pupils have been | | numbered by the hundred. | Professor Bendix had a host of friends among all classes of San Franciscans, !to whom the news of his death will | come as a shock. He was a member of { many clubs and musical organizations. His last afternoon was spent in com- | pany with Harold Bauer. The two great | | pianists had played to and with each ! other, and Bendix returned home say- | ing how much he had enjoyed the day. In the evening he and Mrs. Bendix ac- | companied Nathan Landsberger and his wife to the Tivoli. Almost his last words were, “What a happy day I have | had.” | i i QA Dies After Long Iliness. William Alexander Murison, son of the late John P. Murison, died vester- day after a prolonged illness. De- ceased was widely known in this city, where for a,number of years he was { connected with the Occidental Hotel | as its cashier and later as a book- keeper of the Donohoe-Kelly Banking Company. Ill-health prompted him several months ago to embark; on a trip to India, but he had hardly reached the Far East before his condi- tion took a serious turn and he im- mediately returned to this city, where he began failing rapidly. He was a native of New Orleans and is survived by two sisters, Elizabeth L. and Grace A. Murison. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 11 a. m. from Trinity Episcopal Church. Interment will be private. ~———————— ‘Woman Swimmer Dies. | NEW YORK, March 1.—Ethel | Golding, the champion woman swim- ! mer, died to-day, aged 23. | of the club, presided at the meeting, | Henry Ach, William Shannon, | from Geary street to the present quar- /vor of housing the Union San Francisco in a stvle of comfort | | three cheers for Mr. ' siderable speculation, but it now ap- | will remain here for some time. WILL EXPAND Board of Directors Author- ized to Lease Premises Oc- cupied by Pacifiec-Union TALK AT THE MEETING Report of Committee, Sub- mitted by M. H. de Yowmng, Is Adopted Unanimously The Union League Club at a general meeting of members last evening au- thorized its board of directors to lease for a term of ten years the prem- ises at the northwest corner of Post and Stockton streets, now occupied by the Pacific-Union Club. An extended report was presented by a committee consisting of M. H. de Young, John P. Fraser, Thomas K. Kase, George Stone and Frank Marston. Mr. de Young, as the spokesman of the com- mittee, reviewed the negotiations with W. F. Burbank, the owner of the building. The outcome of the negotia- tions was a written acceptance on the | part of Mr. Burbank of a proposition presented by Mr. de Young. The ren- tal stipulated is $1350 a month for| the first vear, $1400 a month for the second year, $1450 for the third year, and $1500 a month for the remaining | years. The landlord is required to put {in a new electric motor for the ele- vator and to meet the cost of keeping the clubhouse in repair. Colonel George H. Pippy, president Among the members attending were N. P. Chipman, Thomas V. Cator, A P, Wllllams. Wendell Easton, M. H. de Young, .J. Hendy, Thomas K. Kase, John Berk, Albert E. Castle, Charles Bliss, Edmund Tauszky, U. S. Webb, Joseph Spear, Willlam Morris, w. J. Herrin, Edgar Peixotto, Dr. MeNutt, John Rothschild and John P. Fraser. On the discussion of the report thore was a frank interchange of opin- ion. Many references were made to the past struggles of the club and the burden of debt when the league moved ters in the Palace Hotel. Figures were presented showing that the present in- come of the ciub would justify the ac- ceptance of added responsibility. There was a strong sentiment in fa League of and convenience and placing it in line | with the Union Leagues of other lead ing cities of the United States. Mr. adoption of the report of the commit- tee in so manyv words, but he de-' scribed the building now occupied by the Pacific-Union as the finest club- house in the city, surpassing in many respects the new home of the club! now in course of construction. It was | his judgment that the offer of Mr. Burbank was a great opportunity for} the league, such an opportunity as a | club could get but once in a lifetime. After unanimous adoption of the com- mittee’'s report the members gave de Young and thanks to the committee. The league will move to the Union square house about November 1 next. | The membership now is 700. It will| doubtless be increased to 1000 before | the close of this year. It is fancied | that rooms which the league may not use can be subrented to bring in $700 a month. A B e CONSUL MORGAN IS HERE AWAITING New chmml'\lho to Dnlm‘ ‘Will Not | Depart to Orient Until Russia Signifies Willingness. i Edwin V. Morgan of New York, th newly appointed United States Con sul to Dalny, has arrived in this city and is staying at the Palace Hotel. ! His trip westward was made leisurely | } in view of the fact that the Russian Government, which leases the port of Dalny from the Chinese Government, | has not signified to this country its willingness to recognize its represen- | tatives, for reasons which it has yet to explain to Secretary Hay. It was originally intended that Con- sul Morgan should leave here for the Orient on the steamer China, which | sailed four dayvs ago, and his failure to arrive in time to embark caused con- pears that while en route to this city | he received instructions to delay his ! leavetaking until further advices from ‘Washington and it is probable that he Consul Morgan does not regard Russia’s action in his case as an evi- dence of hostile feeling, but rather in the light of a precatitionary measure, in view of the fact that Port Arthur is threatened with a siege and under those conditions Dalny would be a possible sufferer from a food famine. LT AR R R EASTERN STAR CHAPTER GIVES LEAP YEAR PARTY Gentlemen Who Attend Are Subject to Fine for Violating the Pro- mulgated Rules. Steinway Hall was crowded last night with an assemblage of ladies and gentlemen who attended a de- lightful leap year party given by San Francisco Chapter of the Order of the Bastern Star. There was an excellent orchestra to furnish the dance music | and a well arranged programme of dances. ~There were a number of lady police who carried out the orders of the general committee to arrest any of the gentlemen who violated the leap year rules that were promulgated Jjust before the grand march, which was led by the worthy matron, Mrs. Bertha E. Mackrett and Mr. Peter- son. The affair was a social success that was carried out to a happy ter- mination under the supervision of the following committees: Arrangements—Lottie Rothman (chairman), Carrie Robinson, Catherine Wetjen, Vera )uyu-.
