Cony Defeats the Alumni
By Score, IS TO 16.
The Game, Although Rough, Is
Decidedly Interesting.
Reds Are the Winners in the Girls
Basketball Game.

Cony won it's first basketball game
of the season, Friday evening, at As
sembly hall. by defeating the Alumni
team with a score of IS to 16. The
game, although roughly played by
both sides, was very interesting, and
at no time did either team have d
very large lead.
The Cony boys showedN up fairly
well, considering that it was their first
game, snd undoubtedly, they will have
a very fast team by the end Of the
season.
The score at the end of the first
period stod to 8, but in the second
half Fitzgerald and Lawrence Morton
We're taken from the game on the
tute Cony men being put in thei"
places. This change worked very well
for short time with the Alumni and
they secured a small lead on The Cony
boys. but Roy Thayer. the star for
Cony, started things going again by
shooting q goal from the floor i'm a
very difficult position. The friendly
rivalry between these two teams was
very high. and at times the applause
of the spectators was dcafcning.
The stars for Cony were Cooper and.

the floor to his credit and Thayer,
three. Fitzgerald. for the Alumni

Teheran, Jan. 12.-The treasury crisis
has taken an extraordinary turn Acting
on the instructions of the cabinet, NJ.
Mornard, the Belgian ex-drector of Per-
sian customs. summariy took possession
of the treasury offices, today, refusing to
recognize the status of r. s. Cairns. the
American who was left in charge of the
treasury by w. Morgan Shuster. the :.
posed treasurer-general, when the latter
left Teheran, yesterday, for the United
States
In acquantng Mr.. Cairns and the 9TH
er American officials with the contents OF
the message NJ Molnard told them that
if there was further delay IN turning
over the treasury they would not only be
dismissed from their positions, but pun
ished.
This procedure is all the more inexpli.
cable because Mr.. Cairns has shown lit
disposition To retard the work OF trans
ferring the Office to the commission APP
pointed 10 take over the duties of tbs
treasury generalship.
It is said that NJ Mornard asked the
Americans whether they We're willing tc
serve under him as Encouragement and
they declined. The appointment of the
Belgian as encouragement appears to
have removed all hope of preserving the
financial organization created by Mr.

GUEST REFUSES
TO LEAVE HOUSE
Woman Gives LandIady and
East Orange Cops a Per-
picking Time.

The East Orange police learned to-
to leave her bed in a boa riding houst
at their earnest request and that of
the persons in the house, and fer
this reason they had a strenuous
morning making an effort to per
suade an aged woman, giving the
name of Mrs. Ashley, to please ieave
A Arlington enu
Last night the woman called ut the
boarding house and asked for a
room, stating she had been all over
the city looking for a room unsuc-
cessfully. She was accommodated
temporarily, but this morning refused
to leave. Pleadings were in vain,
and also the presence of Reserveman
Edward Williams, who was called in.
Mrs. Ashley said she was i'll, but
every once in a while it was noticed
that she took a peep through the key
hole TO see If the watchers were st!ll
around. Reserveman Williams blush
ingly refused to enter the bedroom.
The police received many strange
tales concerning the woman later,
which led Chref O'Neill to have word
passed to her that unless she vacated
the room by 1 p. m, the police would
carry her out. She left fifteen minntes
before the time limit.
She is said to have called at IL Ar
lington avenue yesterday morning and
asked for breakfast. She was refused,
but declared she would camp out in
the place until fed, and she won her
point.
The woman, who said she came from
a seaside resort and appears to be Sc
years old, next turned up at a board
ing house at 80 Arlington avenue and
asked for a room. She was told she
could not be accommodated, and then
asked that a bed be set VI for her in
the hall, but this was refused and she
went away.
