SEC'Y. HOUSTON ON
EUROPE'S FINANCES
Nothing in International Stu
alton to be Regarded as Ex-
tremeIy Grave, He Says.

Washington.-Co that Eu-
ropes monetary problems will be set
tied satisfactorily was expressed Fri
day by Secretary Houston in a re-
view of the international financial sit
uation.
This country is constantly furnish
ing Europe capital with which to re-
construct the economic life of nations
there" said Mr.. Houston, explaining
that advances are being made in the
same way that Europe aided this
country in time of distress in the past,
not by government loans so much as
by indirect methods, such as private
loans, sale of surplus army equipment
and the absorption of high-grade in
vestment securities offered in mar
kets here by European holders. The
secretary estimated that Europe had
received approximately $4,000000,O00
from this country since the armistice
was signed.
The position of the United States
treasury was said by the secretary to
be very strong and on Monday the last
issue of loan" certificates of indebt-
edness, about $60,000.000, will be re-
deemed, leaving no outstanding float
ing loan in the sense of short-term GER
tificates requiring to be refunded at
maturity. Tax certificates outstanding
amount to $685. 949 900, all of which
will be paid by forthcoming income
taxes profits.
Altogether Secretary Houston de-
clined to agree with the pessimistic
view of some public men, who fore
saw financial crash, and asserted |
that while there are many difficulties /
still to be overcome, there was nothing
in the situation to be regarded as ex-
grave.

Clayton, La. - The number of dead

Clayton, La, when a ST. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern passenger
train plunged through a draw bridge,
Is estimated at from Is to 25. OF
those reported dead two are white,

1t was stated that all of the occu-
pants of the negro coach were
drowned and the estimates of the
number range from 10 to 20.
Survivors Of the accident, arriving
in Natchez, state the railroad draw
bridge, which spans the Tensas river
at Clayton, dividing Concordia from
Catahoula parish, was open at the
time to allow a steamboat with tow
of barges to pass, and that it is sup
posed that on account of the fog the
warning signals could not be seen by
the engineer.
None Of the occupants of the coach
for whitepeople were injured. This
coach was at the rear of the train
and did not go into the river
It was at the same point where the
passenger train plunged into the Ten
sas river that the steamboat Con
cordia was sunk during a high water
of seven or eight years ago with
large life loss, the boat being sunk
by collision with one OF the piers
Of the drawbridge.
Whiteman Bros, a New Orleans
towing and wreckage firm, sent two
divers to the scene of the wreck Tues
day night to search for bodies and to
aid in the recovery Of the coaches.
Two bodies had been recovered. one
the body of a white man, supposed to
be Casteel, and the other that Of

Miss Leitch
Retains Title
On Irish Links
Favorite Keeps British Wom-
ems Golf Crown, Defeat
ing Miss Griffith, Z and 6

NEWCASTLE. County Down, Ireland,
May 14.-Miss Cecil Leitch retained her
title to the British women's golf Cham
pionship here to-day by defeating Miss
Molly Griffiths in the 36-hole final
round of the tournament by Z up and
E to play. Favorable weather condi-
tions marked the playing of the decid-
ing round, which was followed by a
large gallery of spectators.
Miss Leitch opened with steady
game, while her opponent was weak on
the greens, her poor putting being par
TALLY responsible for the loss Of the
first three holes. Miss Griffiths's play
improved somewhat as the match pro-
gressed, but at the turn the champion
was going steadily.
At the close of the first roundMiss
Leitch's stroke was 80 to Miss Crit
iiths's Sc. Miss Leitch maintained her
lead throughout the 4econd round.
Opinion was diviAyi concerning the
result, inasmuch as Miss Griffiths was
playing her first championship tourna-
ment and had not previously played 36
holes in competitive matches. She rep
lresents the Sunningdale Club. The
long experience of Miss Leitch in such
contests counteracted the pluck and
skill OF Miss Grifiths,
