A LONG ILLNESS
Head of Catholic Church in America

more Thursday

Baltimore, Nd, March 24.-James
Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Bal
timore and primate of the American
Catholic hiarchy, died at the achi-

showing pronounced signs of improve
ment in health ever since his return
home about January l last from Un-
ion Mills, Maryland, where ne was
taken seriously i'll early in December
suffered relapse Palm Sunday soon
after returning from an automobile
ride. The sudden change of weather
had depressing effect upon him. His
fainting spells returned and he was
put to bed from which, it was real
led by those closest to him, he prob
ably never again would arise.
Cardinal Gibbons physician said
repeatedly in the earlier stages of his
illness that he was sound organically
as could be expected in person of
his years but that he suffered from
the effects of his age and from fati-
que that resulted from the prodigal
expenditure of his energies in the
performance of his duties as senior
prelate of the Catholic church in this
country.

HAS AMERICA EVER
REPAID FRANCE FOR
ADVANCES OF 1776

Paris, March 24.-The question
whether America had ever paid the
advances made to her by Louis XVI
of France during the American rev.
olution raised recently by a writer

by Senaor Gaudin de Villaine, rep
resenting the department of La
Manche.

trum", the senator declared, "that
Louis XVI in 177s, in the name of
the. French nation and to save the
young American republic, had loan
ed 800,000,000 francs"
Senator Gaudin de Villaine calcu-
lated that at 8 per cent. this sum
would exceed 37,O00,OOO,O0O francs
or sufficient not only to pay what
France owes America, but also what
she owes to England.
"a Washington telegram, reply
ing within the last "a hours to the
point of which you speak, gives the
dates at which these debts were re-
paid" interrupted Senator Bran
gier.
'"This debt never has been paid"
exclaimed Senator Gaudin de Vii

WILL MAKE WINE
OF STRAWBERRIES
Permit to Manufacture is Issued
Alcoholic Content of Product
Must Not Be Increased
Says Government.

Washington, March pa permit
- manufacture wine out of straw
SERIES for non-beverage purposes
WAS issued tonight to the Strawberry
Growers Assoc alton of Louisiana by
DE- bureau. of internal revenue.
Provision is made in the permit that
m sugar shall be added to increase
1ae alcoholic content of the product.
While no explanation of the issu-
anee of the permit was made by the
jureau officials said that the straw
Serry growers had appealed to the
vrohibition authorities for permis-
asn to wet up a winery in order to
ere for their surplus crop which was
estimated to be worth about $4,000
Zee. Under the Volstead act, it was
explained, it is legal to establish
xmeries for the panufacture of non
severage products for sacramental or
nedeinal purposes. The association,
IL was said, plans to erect large
wine manufacturing plant which will
tzke care of the surplus strawber-
nes of the growers.
Whether the principle on which
he permit was issued to the srtaw-
berry men would apply in other
.rases officials could not say but it
wss suggested that should surplus of
berries occur in other states, the
Huducers would be entitled to an
-,pportunity to show whether there
Was danger of heavy loss unless the
establishment of wineries was resort
d 20.
Such procedure, officials intimat-
I'd, would not be confined to straw
Derry producers, but would include
yorducers of other juicy berries
Ai1ckberries, blueberries and the diff
serent shades of raspberries-and
might in the case of necessity cover
vegetables such as beets and pos
lbIy dandelions and elderberries.

TELLS WHY THE NORTH
DAKOTA BANKS FAIL

St. Louis, No., March 23.-Finan-
cial conditions throughout the mid
die west were outlined here today
by delegates at the closing session
of the tenth annual conference of
Prsidents, Vice-Presidents and Sec
retaries of the Central States Bank
ers' Association.
Recent bank suspensions in North
Dakota were caused, in part, by the
diverting of public funds, accord
ing to W. G. McFadden, Of Fargo,
N. D., secretary of the North Dakota
Bankers Association, who addressed
the conference. The heavy decline
in the price Of grain was another
factor, h amplifed.
Mr.. McFadden explained that the
law which created the bank of North
Dakota designated it as a repository
for all public funds.
"This included not only state,
county and municipal funds, but
those of the state university, school
of forestry and other public insti-
tutions, he said.
GAS a result the treasurers of
these had no control over their
funds"
Approximately s3,OOO,OOO of the
public funds was diverted to invest
ment in mortgage loans, and ST.
100000 for a mill and elevator, he
continued, adding, "This upset the
financial and business tructure Of
the state"
