result in disgusting people with every

was received by the people at large with
mingled indignation and amusement; in

it should have been brought to light by

high-handed action of the Turkish au-

Anatolia. The action of the Governor of
Bitlis in expelling Mr.. Knapp was prcb-
ably taken in obedience to orders from

THE PUGIL1STs WILL HAVE A
BOUT WITH CALIFORNIA

And It Is Altogether Probable That
They Will Not Wish to Fight An

San Fracisco. Dec. 3.-The Anglo
California bank. on which the check
for $4,000 was drawn by the National
club at noon today. refused payment of
the check. 1t was presented at 10:3O
this morning by Lynch, Sharkey's back
er. and the bank officials told Lynch
that they must decline to pay the check
until the courts had decided that Shar-
key was entitled to the money. The
bank officials say that they are acting
on legal advice. and that the bank Is in
the position Of being an innocent stake
holder and so temporarily refuses the
payment Of the check for its own pro-
lection.
The check was given to Sharkey after
