CARDINAL GIBBONS IS DEAD FOLLOWING A LONG ILLNESS Head of Catholic Church in America Succumhi at Home in Balti more Thursday Baltimore, Md., March 24.?James Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Bal timore and primate of the American Catholic hiarchy, died at the achi Episcopal residence here today after a prolonged illness which mainly af fected his heart. He was in his 87th year. The end came peacefully at 11:33 o'clock. / Cardinal Gibbons, who had been showing pronounced signs of improve ment in health ever since his return home about January 1 last from Un ion Mills, Maryland, where he was taken seriously ill early in December suffered a relapse Palm Sunday soon after returning from an automobile ride. The sudden change of weather had a depressing effect upon him. His fainting spells r^urned and he was put to bed from which, it was real ied 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 a person of his years but that he suffered from the effects of his age and from fati gue 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 a ^ l?non/ia /^n*ir*n? A m awiv>Atr anicuvaa ict" olution raised recently by a writer in the newspaper l'Eclair, was brought^ up in the senate during last night's debate on the budget by Senaor Gaudin de Villaine, rep resenting the department of La Manche. "I said last night from this ros trum", the senator declared, "that Louis XVI in 1778, 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 3 per cent, this sum would exceed 37,000,000,000 francs or sufficient not only to pay what France owes America, but also what she owes to England. "A Washington telegram, reply ing ^ithin the last 24 hours to the point of which you speak, gives the dates at which these debts were re paid," interrupted Senator Bran ?ier. "This debt never has been paid,' exclaimed Senator Gaudin de Vil laine." "The telegram in question gives the exact dates of the payments;," replied Senator Brangier. j TELLS WHY THE NORTH DAKOTA BANKS FAIL St. Louis, Mo., March 23.?Finan ;ial conditions throughout the mid ile west were outlined here today k?? of +V*o ? pAoot,' jy ucicgai-to a u uiit vivaiiig scooivit >f 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. C. McFadden, of Fargo, ST. D., secretary of the North Dakota Bankers' Association, who addressed ihe conference. The heavy decline in the price of grain was another factor, h amplified. 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, buti those of the state university, school ~ Df forestry and other public insti- D tutions, he said. "As a result the treasurers of these had no control over their funds." Approximately $3,000,000 of the public funds was diverted to invest ment in mortgage loans, and $1, 000,000 for a mill and elevator, he continued, adding, "This upset the financial and business tructure of the state."
