OLIVRT BASKETBALL
 TEAM BEATS CARDINALS

The Cardinal basketball team of St. PauI's church of the East Side were defeated last night for the first time this season. They played the OIivet team and during both halves which were fifteen minutes long, the score was kept tied. The teams were then given ten minutes to play and it was in the ninth minute that the winning basket Of the OIivets was shot
 Both teams worked to their utmost ability which fact made the game more interesting. The Olivet team is 8 much heavier team than the Cardf- nals, but even that fact failed to make them win by a big lead, the final score being 27-25.
 This is the first game that the Cardinals have lost in the series and it is the first game that the OEvets have won, the former may then be called the better team. They displayed some scientific plays and lightning pases A game between the Barnum Independents and the Park Street church team was also played, the for mer being the winners by 17-7.

BRYAN HOLDS UP
GOLD FROM HAITI
Opposes Republics Demand
for Possession Of 100000
Kept IN New York.
MONEY BELONGS T0BANK
May Be Used to Give U. S. Control
of Haytian Finances and
Strategical Harbors.

Secretary of State Bryan yesterday op-
posed demand of the republic OF Haiti
for possession Of $4,000 gold recently de-
livered in New York on the gunboat Ma
chias. The Haitian Minister, Solon Me-
nos, spent two hours in an effort TO per-
suade Mr.. Bryan to turn this gold over
TO his government, but Mr.. Bryan re-
fused.
A remarkable diplomatic situation un-
derlies the fight for possession of this
gold. To eliminate Haitfs European cred
itors and take Haiti and her strategical
harbors out Of danger OF European con-
troll, the United States is endeavoring to
arrange for American control of Haiti's
finances, similar to that in San Domingo
and Nicaragua
Republic Is Bankrupt.
The Haitian government is practically
bankrupt and can only obtain money
from the United States. The State De-
partment has told the Haitian authori-
ties that before they can get a loan from
American bankers they must agree to
American financial supervision. But the
Haitian government is determined to
avoid American control and wants the
$4,000 in New York to prevent yielding
to the United States.
1t was admitted today that the gold
was taken from vaults OF the National
Bank of Haiti at Port au Prince for
fear that the Haitian government would
raid the institution. Mr.. Bryan said the
money was brought to the United States
for safe keeping.
The gold represents payments made by
the Haitian government to the National
Bank of Haiti, its treasurer. to meet fu-
ture interest due on the national debt.
Haiti claims that this gold is govern
ment property until the interest is ac-
1ually due. The bank, and apparently
Mr.. Bryan. think otherwise

DESPITE WILSON'S PROTEST.

Literary Test Feature of Immigra-
tIon Bill May Pass senate.
The President has been advised that the
Senate is likely TO pass the migration bill
containing the literacy test in spite of
the plain intimation from the White
House that the President is opposed to ii
any may veto any bill coming to him with
the test included
The President has encouraged Senator
James Hamilton Lewis in his opposition
to the Hteracy test and the Senator from
Illinois has shown disposition to block
vote on the bill if the amendment he
has offered to strike out the test Is not
adopted.
Senator Kern, leader of the majority
in the Senate, believes that it will be
possible TO modify the test so that 1t
will pass and be unobjectionable to the
White House.

Rabbits ETaded Secretary of State
that's Why,

Ignorant of the fact that the Old
Dominion State forbids. under penalty
of fine, the shooting of rabbits while
snow is on the ground. Secretary OF
State Bryan yesterday left his office,
shouldered his gun, and crossed over
into Virginia in search of cottontails.
He covered a lot of ground and he
got very. very cold, but he didn't even
get a peep at a rabbit. But on his re-
turn he declared it was a fine hunt.
even finer than if he had brought some
thing back. for then he would have
been an offender against the State.

Charges Against Founder
Reduce George Republic
to State of Bankruptcy

NEW YORK. June 19.-The George
nnior Republic, deserted by most of
= supporters, faces financial collapse
Its debts amount to $33, 600 and unless
means are found to meet them the re-
public will be forced into bankruptcy
and abandoned. The number of pupils
has been cut down from 100 to sixty.
according to Joseph Burden, treasurer
of the institution. but the deficit is
steadily increasing.
Mr.. Burden said yesterday that the
agitation against William r. George.
founder of the republic had estranged
most of the former subscribers, and
the unpaid running expenses of the
institution had mounted up to $4,000.
Loans of $4,000 had been made, he
added, but there were no visible
/means to pay them.
IT hope and believe that the men
who lent US this money will not ask
Ii back" said Mr.. Burden yesterday.
81 think they will look on il as a gift
to the work One or two new sub
scribers have come in''-and he drew
a check for $1,000 from under a bun
die of papers. You mustn't mention
this mans name, but as you can see.
he of all the people would not have
contributed TO the republic unless sat
isfed that the charges against George
were false
