THFODOR VOGT. MUSICAL DIRECTOR OF THH BOHEMIAN CLVR, WHO BKCAME AN AMERICAN fITIZEX YESTERDAY. Theodor Vogt, Musician and Clubman Is Naturalized; OAKLANT). Sept. Emperor William of Germany lost a good subject today, when Theodor Vogt, the director of music of the Bohemian Club, and one of the leaders in the development of music in the West, took the oath of allegiance to the United States of America.

The oath was administered by Superior Judge Henry A. Melvin, one of the directors of the Bohemian Club, In the presence of State Senator G. Russell Lukens and E. Courtney Ford, a well known club-man of San Francisco, who acted as sponsor for Vogt, former State Senator K. Taylor, and several others.

After taking the cath which gave right to the title of American citizen, Vogt declared that his one regret was that he had not become a cltiien years ago. Judge Melvin remarked thatjwhen Emperor William heard of the action of thie well known composer he' would probably send a fleet of warships to take Vogt back to Germany. Theodor Vogt Is one of the best known composers on the Pacific Coast, among the most famous of his productions being "The Quest of the Gorgon." which was written- for the high jinks of the Bohemian Club a year ago; the opera. "Prince Asmodcus," and "The Lily Of Chefu." a Chinese opera which made a great hit at Its first production in San Francisco. The composer Is a native of Hamburg, Germany, and Is 54 years of age.

He is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music at Stuttgart. Germany. He has been a resident of California for twenty-eight years. Twelve years ago Vogt became a member of the Bohemian Club. The home of the composer Is now at 1201 Lafayette street.

Alleged carelessness on the part of the railroad gateman, in not lowering the gates while a freight train was switching In the yards, is given as the cause of an accident last evening In which Miss Agnes Gilligan, a teacher In the public schools sustained injuries that may prove fatal. Miss Gilligan was knocked down by a box car and a large iron rod, pierced her side, tearing a several inches long in her abdomen. When the car was stopped, the wheel had already pinched her flesh and many eye witnesses assert that had the car gone 'a foot further she would have been cut in two. Miss Gilligan was returning home shortly after dark. When, vas both gates the track open, it.

never occurred to -her that there was an engine on the end of the long line of box cars standing on the sidetrack. When she was In- the of the track the engine bumped into the cars with terrific, force. The car only kicked back about five feet and to this fact Miss Gilligan oweY her life. M. J.

Lyons was the first to go to her aid and he attempted to drag her from beneath the car discovered that her dresses were tightly fastened under the wheel and -It became necessary to call to the engineer to move his train before the woman could be released.
