WASHINGTON, July B.-Unoficial advices
which the State Department received to- day
from Central America indicate that Sal
vador and Guatemala are taking steps

a despatch from Minister Merry at San
Salvador saying that IL was probable that

discovered. but the Frenchmen talked so
much apd 30 explosively that the sound OF
their voices could be heard some distance.
Weiss arrested the foreman, Paul Folzeider
OF liz West Forty-ninth street. on a charge
OF breaking the Sunday ordinances and
old the other men to go home.
About an hour later Headquarters heard
from the same English voice again. The

kindly come up and stop the noise, as the

height and the people all stopped and looked
In at the house next door, and besides this
annoyance there WINS no telling when the
mob would grow to such proportions that
every one would think that some one had
been murdered or was drunk.

sent over Sergt. Bill Hallahsn with a squad
to stop the noise under any circumstances.

visitors In Bronx Park Zoo.
Texas, the big iguana in the Bronx Zoo
and the last of the lizards TO be suspected
Of breaking the bonds Of captivity, had a
taste Of freedom yesterday. He got his
four feet of body over the fence of his pen
near the reptile house and put to fight
several hundred women and children who
were terrified at the sight Of the uncanny
monster.
Back and forth among the REL tile pens
shot Texas, his appearance everywhere
being greeted with screams End fAnciful
displays of hosiery. Keeper Snyder soon
got on the job and saw that the lizard was
more terrified at the display than the women
were at the sight of him. He gave chase
and the lizard finally scurried away toward
the Bronx River. On the bank Snyder
caught him and wound his arms about the
slippery body. Snyder says Texas WAS 30
terrified at the queer sights he saw in his
brief period Of freedom that he will be
satisfied with his little pen in the future.
