Mexicans Hold Up
 Preacher for S2OO
 In Tampico Field

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-James M. Taylor of New York, secretary of the board of foreign missions of the eMthodist Episcopal church, related today the story of his capture by Mexican soldiers to whom his friends paid $2O0 in gold for his release.
 While on a business trip in the vicinity of Tampico some months ago, Dr. Taylor told a special examined of the senate foreign relations sub committee, he was held up by a sol dier after he had taken a picture of some oil properties.
 "The soldier rushed up to me ana placing revolver at my breast or dered me to give him the film" Dr. Taylor said. Later about Is soldiers appeared and I was ordered to sur. render my camera and appear before the general in charge. After a few words the general withdrew to an other room and sent word to me that l could not be released until I had paid $500 in gold. There was no trial, no formal charges preferred and the fine was finally reduced to s20O and paid"

sY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, Jan. BOA 20 per cent call money rate, the highest so far this year, and continued weakness of foreign exchange, were the domi- nant factors of today's extremely dull stock market. These developments exerted only a negative influence, however, gains in several instances of substantial proportions exceeding losses at the markets firm close, de spite renewed pressure upon specu- lative issues.
 The 20 per cent rate did not be. come operative until the final hour, when the belated demands of borrow. CTS to carry over the week end were especially urgent Most of the days money was placed at 12 per cent, a IA per cent quotation ruling at the close.
 In the stock market the net result seemed to establish further proof of a "sold out condition and the tenuous position of the shorts in several of the closely held high-priced industrials.
 United States Steel again fluctuated within fractional limits, but kindred shares and their equipments regis tered gross gains of to points. Sales amounted to 525,000 shares.
 Lower tendencies again prevailed in the bond market underlying is- sues, among rails, industrials and utilities reacting an average of one point.
 Liberty bonds and associated for eign issues also yielded moderately. Total sales, par value, aggregated $15,- 25O,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 While I agree with MT. Price and the Chamber of Commerce, am not prepared to say that we ought to vote lot of new bonds for the pur- poses Of schools until we have gone further into our inquiry to see wheth- CT we can't make a better use of what we have already.
 '1 do say that if it should be de- termined i'' the minds of you gentle men Or any other responsible and able Investigating committee that the situation demands an increased issue of bonds which will carry us literally and actually over the five per cent. limit, I think we had better tackle the situation and endeavor to get have these bonds issued. Let us not be afraid of the shadow, and if the Board of Education makes out a strong case, and the Chamber of Com merce and other bodies back it up. and you gentlemen in the aldermanic body approve, let us not be afraid of the mere arbitrary five per cent. limit"
 D. Fairchild Wheeler endorsed the sentiments of the previous speakers in 0 brief speech. P. T.

 The Board of Education program was explained in detail by Dr. A. c. Zones, who arrived late in response to a. telephone message from the comEnittee, the Board of Education not having any representatives pres ent at the opening of the meeting through a misunderstanding. pr. Tones said:
 Like the homes of Bridgeport. the schools have suffered because there has been no building during the war | period. One or two schools were per mitted to go on, but for four years or l more with the immense increase in population and immense influx of | children here, we have had no addi- | tiona1 schools.
