The Worlds Greatest Bank.

From the Wall Street Journal.
With its recent acquisition of the
Willis &, Dorset Banking Company,
Lloyds Bank, of London, becomes
probably the greatest financial cor
poratlon of its kind, as it's deposit
and current account now aggregates
more than $500,0O0,0O0.
Lloyds Bank has a history extend
ing over a long period of years. as
the private bank out of which 1t was
formed was established in 1855. and
the present banking corporation was
formed in 1866. Including its latest
acquisition, the bank has absorbed ne
less than forty-eight other banking
houses since 1866, one of these dating
back to 1877. The bank is represented
in forty-five out of the fifty-two
counties in England and Wales, and

Bees Disturbed by College Boys Tie up
Traffic and Business.

+ CINCINNATI. June 5.-Students ut
St. Xavier's College had a joyous
time yesterday when they stirred up
a colony of bees, which had hived
on a window of the institution, but
the bees eventually had their re-
venge by stopping traffic and causing
a number of shoe factories to sus-
pend operations until the feroeious
attack by the insects was over.
When the bees went on the war
path they settled on a street car
and drove motorman, conductor and
passengers hurriedly to places of
refuge. Other indignant bees flew
into shoe factories and stung the
operatives so severely that there was
a quick exodus. In all. the bees
suspended operations in one of the
busiest districts of the city for half
an hour. Where they came from is
a mystery. as there are no hives
within three miles of the college.

Pays One Cent Tax, When Income is One
Cent Over Exemption Limit.

DETROIT, June 5.--A Detroit citi-
zen yesterday paid into the local

come tax of one cent.
If the income of the taxpayer had
been one cent less in the ten months
since the law became operative he
would have had to pay no tax at all
His income for the ten months was
SO, 500.51. OF this sum 81, 800 was eX-
empt from tax. Nothing less than
one dollar is taxed. but whore the
amount exceeds fifty cents it is
counted as one dollar. This mans

New Orleans Invites Californian to
Put on ScrapS-Win Look
Situation Over.

Los ANGELES, Calf, Nov. IL
The city of New Orleans has invited
Promoter T. ]. McCarey to come TO
that one remaining 20-round center
and handle the boxing game. McCarey
is seriously considering the PROPOSE
ton.
Paul p. Tessier, representing the
New Orleans sporting public tele-
graphed:
New orleans will welcome you.
We will build you a new arena build
ing and make everything pleasant.
We want the game handled the same
as it has been handled in California,
what do you say?"
McCarey's answer was as follows:
For the boxing game to be a big
success all must be harmony. Would
suggest that you call meeting of the
New Orleans newspapers owners and
ascertain If my welcome would be
unanimous. Also would want Promo
ter Tortorich to be satisfied"

.A.A.U. ALLOWS WOMEN
!. TO ENTER MEMBERSHIP
Will Hold Games and Contests
Among Themselves as Part
of Club Work.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Women
will be allowed to register with the
Amateur Athletic union and compete
in swimming events confined exclu-
sively to women. The important ques-
ton was decided at the annual con-
Astoria Monday afternoon.
1t is remarkable as being the first
instance where women have been ad-
mitted on the same footing as men in
amateur sport There were those
present who viewed the admission Of
women as a progressive step toward
the recognition of women's rights.
All other proposed amendments to
the constitution we're turned down.
The proposition to admit the army
and navy athletes without registration
went TO the waste basket with a bang
The clauses stipulating that profess
SIGNALS could compete against anna
tours in football and basketball got a
black eye. Neither can professionals
or paid instructors exhibit against
amateurs in any events given by the
A A. L. In a word the old guard
stood solid as a rock and for another
year the expert instructors Will have
to be contented with their rightful
sphere They cannot be pros" and
amateurs at the same time
The report of the secretary
urer showed the sum of $23,6O9.3O to
the credit of The association safe in
the bank. Hardly a loss was sus-
tanned by many of the branches Of
sport, the high water mark being
gained by the boxing championship
with profits OF S2,201.95.

FIVE MEN SUSPENDED
BY N0TRE DAME BOARD
Men Were Accused of Playing on
Silver Edge Team at TT.
Wayne.

At meeting Of the faculty board of
control five Notre Dame students were
forbidden the privilege Of participant
ing in college athletics. The five stu
dents went to Fort Wayne, Ind, where
they played with the Silver Edge"
football team against the Friars Of
Fort Wayne.
In some way the faculty learned Of
the action and promptly suspended the
five men from all participation not
only in inter-collegiate athletics, but
also in all interhall contests on the
university campus. Father Cavanaugh
advised the men as follows: The
faculty objects to any student taking
part in athletics for money. whether
he be a member of the university
squad or not" A game between Sorln
hall and Corby hall in which these
men took part has been annulled. The
faculty thought the penalty heavy
enough and therefore retained the
names of the young men.
