BRYAN TO TAKE HIS
DOVE ACROSS SEAS
Will Preach Peace TO Chan
ceIIeries of Europe, with
Eve on Nobel Prize.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Feb. 4.-The Secretary
of State is contemplating an extensive
European trip to preach his peace
propaganda, and according 10 his
friends, with a view TO obtaining the
Nobel peace prize. Greatly encouraged
bv the diplomatic assurances Of the
British Ambassador that the British
Cabinet is considering his proposition
Of a peace treaty between England and
the United States, the Secretary has
determined that it would be advisable
for him TO go abroad and explain to
the chancelleries OF Europe the as
surance against war which would be
afforded by conventions between all the
great powers along the line OF the
peace treaties which he has already
negotiated with smaller European
countries and with one Asiatic power.
The President has given his cordial
approval to the suggestion of the Sec
retary OF state and has intimated thas
he will view with approval the depart
ure OF Secretary Bryan at any time
that that official may deem it wise 10
start on a worldwide propaganda.
1t Is not the intention of Mr.. Bryan
to speak in more than few OF me
more prominent European countries, as
he is convinced that once the peace
is we'll started 1t will spread
ra apidly. He believes that practically
all of the European countries are al
ready overburdened with their heavy
appropriate for the maintenance Of
navies and armed forces. and that they
will welcome such assurance against
war as would be afforded by the nego-
tiation of peace treaties such as he
proposes.
Nothing has been determined as yet
regarding the date of Mr. Bryan's de
parture. but il is believed that 1T VII
not he long deferred.

BY FLYING EXPRESS
Former Surrogate of West

Disregarding the warning bell and
the lowered gates. Frank Vincent Mil
lard, former Surrogate of Westchester
County. tried TO cross the New York
Central Railroad tracks at Tarrytown
yesterday afternoon, and was instantly
killed by an express train. Though
scores of persons who knew him had
seen him push through the gates, it
was not until several hours later that
his body was identified.
Milard was forty-five years old, was
married and had three children. His
home was in Tarrytovr. He mad
been Surrogate for six years, leaving
Office on January I. He was prominent;
in Republican politics, but on his re-
tirement from office had returned to
the practice of law.
The former Surrogate approached the
o'clock yesterday afternoon, intent on
catching a southbound train. AS he
got to the crossing at Main street A
friend hailed him and asked Millard to
give him details Of a bowling match
they had in prospect. This interested
him so much that consideration of his
train escaped him until he heard an
engine whistle and the rapid tapping
of the crossing bell. Then the gates
started to descend.
II may be Mr.. Millard did not know
that two minutes before the down train

press, north bound, was due to pass
through. and that in ignorance of this
he thought the whistle and bell indi-

the tracks and, with "Goodby' TO his
friend, ran toward the gates, and
squeezing through at the point where
the tapering shafts almost touch-as
late arrivals at the station have been
doing for years-sprinted across the
rails.
Halfway between the rails, the speed
ing express swept upon him, and me
nose of the electric engine threw him
beneath the wheels.
In the roar of the expresses swift pas

lard's cry and his death were unnoticed
bv the passengers on the platform, but
the motorman had heard his scream
and stopped his train within three
blocks. When he got back a crowd
was gathered around the body. No
body in the crowd could say whose 1t

Mr. Milard was born in Tarry ytown
and was son of James S. Millar1.
