In the Athletic were defeated tonight at
the club gymnasium In the deciding game
of the basket ball s- ries with Nebraska.
The locals gained a slight lead In the
first half, which ended 16 to 13 In their
favor. This, however, was overcome near
the close of the game, and when there
was less thun one minute to play Moser
threw a pretty goal, putting his team one
point to the good. The Athletics came back
strong, and Cannon connected with the
basket almost Instantly aftr the ball had
been put In play. As there Wjjs then but
a fraction of a minute left for play. It
seemed that the Blue Diamonds would win
after "all. but Just before the whistle P.
Bell dropped the ball through the basket
for the winning points.
The game was one of the closest through
out that has been seen here this winter
and was characterised by hard play on both
sldees. The Curnhuekers won the game
on their merits, however, snd the locals
have no excuses. Though each team made
the same number of field goals, the win
ners excelled through Hagensick's 'ability
to locate the bnsket on free throws, he
landing eight to Buckley s five. The Ath
letics were aided by the awarding of two
points to them on fouls committed by the
Nebraskatis while they were trying for
glials.
The Cornhui-kcrs were Jubl.ant over
their victory, which was won In spite of
the fact that two of their best players
were out o the game on account of injuries.

The committee will report to the state sen
ate the refusal of Mr. Hynlcka to produce
his books and It is suggested today that
he would probably be cited before the sen
ate on a chaige ol contempt.
The payment of gratuities to the county
treasurer by the bankers for deposit have
continued for several years, according to
the tentlmony of Cashier George Schott,
who was the first witness today before the
Drake committee of the state senate. The
payments weie made on a baft of from 2
to fl per cent of the deposits. He had been
cashier fur fourteen years, serving under
four different treasurers.
Money deeded la Baalness.
Charles A. Hlnch. president of the First
National bunk, made a sfnsational state
ment Just before he left the witness stand
In the investigation this afternoon. Sen
ator SchmidVof the committee brought out
the matter by asking Mr. Hinch If he con
sidered it proper for a banker to use county
funds? President Hlnsch then asked per
mission to make a statement, which he did.
In effect, as follows:
Tf the bunks hnd not been thus favored
the ensuing financial condition would have
been disastrous for the community. You
know per cent of the business of the
community is transacted en pui:er or is
represented by puner, this lesves i per cent
of the business done In actual canh. Lock
tip fct.SCl.mo at a time in the county treas
urer a oftiee and the result would be that
every element of business in the city would
be paralyzed. It would flop the loans of
every bank In the city. So bankers feel
that In being permitted to use the public
funds they w.-re doing a good thing for the
public um well Such deposits In the banks
are not profitable to the bankers. We are,
under the law. compelled to reserve 'St per
cent of It under the national banking law.
This raised the coat of the entire deposit to
as high a fisure as we weie able to secure
for it. Those loans were subject to Instant
call for the use of municipalities which
were liable to call any time.
"You know ahere the Interest was
going?" asked Senator Schmidt.
"I did not. I gave that no attention."
"Would you have sent the Interest had
you known It went to the treasurer?" asked
Senator Schmidt.
Interest In f'aiuualaa Panda.
"I suppose he was entitled to it," said
President Hinsch, who further supple
mented his remarks as follows:
It is an open secret of years' duration
that the banks paid Interest on county
funds and this Interest, as the rumor had
It, went to campaign funds, and, gentle
men, let me say that If you tie up the tax
collections In the treasurer's office the
wheels of every industry in Cincinnati will
stop. I feel the banks were doing a public
good In accepting the deposits.
Leopold Kleyholte, for many years presi
dent of the Western German bank, testified
that about sixteen years ago, the Western
German offielnls were Informed by a direc
tor of the bank, himself democrat, that If
the hank desired it could get some of the
county treasury dofinelts from the treas
ured, a democrat. The offer was ac
cepted, Mr. Kleyholte said, and the West
ern German began paying "compensation"
for the favor, a practice which had bevn
continued since during all the administra
tions of the county treasurer's office.
Several other witnesses were heard, but
little additional Information was brought
out. The committee then adjourned until
next Friday.
