NEW YORK, N. Y, May 19.-After
a tour of the east during which con-
traversies involving modernists, fun
damentalists and evolution burst
forth with renewed vigor. William
Jennings Bryan today is on his way
to Columbus, Ohio, to attend the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church and become, it is reported,
candidate for moderator on strictly
fundamentalst platform.
The eommoner, whose speech at
the Browns university, Providence,
R. l., was followed by kissing and
booing, was accorded somewhat
similar reception at one of the three
addresses on evolution that wound up
the eastern campaign here yesterday.
He was twice interrupted by the
Rev. James M. Williamson, who denied
: Mr.. Bryan's assertion that modern
lists send missionaries TO Africa when
they have no message to send. 7
Mr.. Bryan touched upon his assist
ance in the prosecution of J. T..
Scopes, Dayton, Tenn, science teach
er, on charges of violating the law
against teaching evolution. The dis
grace il not to Tennessee.v he said,

Smuggling Disappears
From Hospital

Matamoros officers, both military and
civil, are conducting a search for Mrs.
Eloisa vda de Rivera. formerly post
mistress of that city, who disappeared
from the city hospital late yesterday.
She was being kept under surveillance
there.
Mrs. Rivera was taken into custody
by federal officers some time ago fol-
lowing an investigation into alleged
smuggling of silk across the river from
this city, officers charging that the SILK
was smuggled across the Rio Grande
from the American side in mail pouches.
The arrest followed, with the appoint
ment of Mariana Reyes as acting post
master. Officers have had the former
postmistress kept in custody in the hos
pital in Matameros as the only other
place Of incarceration is the military
prison.
Late yesterday afternoon it was re-
ported that Mrs. Rivera was gone. A
search has been instituted since that
time, with no clue to her whereabouts

Band TOPLAY
HERE TONIGHT
Concert in Main Plaza of
Matamoros Is Well
Attended

After furnishing an interesting pro-
gram of well chosen numbers in the
Plaza de Toros last night, the Mexico
National Military hand will arrive in
Brownsville early this afternoon for a
dinner to be served here, and will play
concert tonight.
The program as announced this morn
ing by John F. Dervin, secretary of the
Merchants Association, is for the band
to come to this side of the river at 3
o'clock and play in front of the Mex
lean consulate here from 8 to 5. The
band will then be given at the Travel
ers' roof garden at $3.50 this afternoon.
and start the concert at Fort Brown at
6:30.
This concert will be open to the pub
lie. Everyone is invited. The concert
will be given on the open air parade
grounds, as the band pavilion is too
small to accommodate this large aggre-
CATION of players. The concert will last
two hours.
All who nave heard the band are un-
animous in their praise of it. They
point out that the perfect harmony and
time secured in this large number of
players, and the sweet melodies which
are secured especially in the solo mum,
bers are some of the things which have
caused the band to be ranked among
the best in the world.
The program has been dedicated to
Brownsville and the Valley, General
HilariO r. Cervere, commander of mill
tary forces at Matamoros, announced
today. General Cervera was here along
with A. G. Vasquez, Mexican consul at
Brownsville.
"Bandmaster Genaro Nunez informed
me that he would be glad to play any
place here that his services might be
DESIRED" Mr.. Vasquez said, and his
statement was supplemented by a sim
liar one from the general. IF Browns
vile wishes the military band from
Mexico to broadcast over the radio,
am sure they will do so"

THREE NATIONS
MOVE TO FUND
DEBTS TOU..S.
Belgium and Esthonia
M a king Preliminary
Moves to Settlement;
France Orders Audit
fRv The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 19.-The
war debt situation, in apparent repose
until just recently, has resumed lively
activity. with indications that three
European nations are st1iding toward
tions to this country.
Belgium and Esthonia now are dis
closed as in company with France in
preliminary negotiations looking to
funding of their debts.
1t is not evident here however, that
the Belgian and Esthonian action is the
result of this governments recent an.
nouncement that it was expecting offers
from it's nine European debtors.
The Belgian government dispatches
from Brussels said, was interrogated by
American Ambassador Phillips early last
month regarding its funding plan and
lister here had discussed the subject
with Secretary Mellon over a period Of
several weeks.
Baron Cartier De Marchienne, Bel
gian ambassador to Washington will
conduct the negotiations for his coun,
try, dispatches said, first returning
home 20 confer with the Belgian fl.
nance minister. The negotiations it il
understood, are to concern primarily the
American loans made after the armis,
tice. which, with war loans, principal
and interest total about S4S0.000,000. I.
is assumed here however, that discus
sion of the foreign war debt would nat
urally follow any arrangement for re-
paying the postwar loans.
Secretary Mellon, chairman of the
American debt commission. believes the
Esthonian government soon will be in
position to make definite proposal for
settlement of its debt, totalling nearly
$18. 100000.
Meanwhile, France is preparing to
audit her books to determine how much
is owed and owing before beginning ne
gotiations with Washington.

NEW YORK. N. " May 19-The con-
with a new New York bond house was
generally hailed in financial circles to-
day as meaning the manufacturers en-
trance into Wall street. Yet, from De-
troit came a denial that it had any
such significance.
The newly organized company opened
for business yesterday in the Equitable
building on Broadway near Wall street
One of the directors is Ernest Kanzler,
vice president Of the Ford Motor COM
pany. The Guardian Detroit company
is announced as an investment branch
of tie Guardian Trust company of De-
troit of which Edsel Ford, Henry's son.
is a director.
The Guardian Detroit company has
taken over the municipal bonds business
of Kean, Higbie and company Of Detroit
and New York, who will continue in
business as underwriters.
New York headlines describe the de-
velopment as follows:
"Fords open bank in Wall street,
and Ford is in Wall street with trust
company" says the New York Tribune:
Henry Ford has hung out his shingle
in Wall street. The man who denounced.
defied and dispensed with Americas s
most important financiers has opened up
an office in their stronghold"
In denial that the Ford interests are
entering Wall street, Stewart L. Pitt
man. vice president of the Guardiaa
Detroit company, said in Detroit:
''Fhere is no truth in the statement
that Ford interests are backing this
move. Both men (Edsel Ford and Kanz-
ler) held similar positions with the
Kean-H Higbie company before its change
to the new company.

Torn From
Cars as Mad Rush Is
Started by Exploding
Lamp Globes in Train
tBy The Associated Press,


NEW YORK. N. Y, May 19.
At least rs persons were injur-
ed, two of them probably fatal
ly, in a mad panic which swept
a crowded East Side subway
train as it was about to leave
the Grand Central station to-
day. A blown fuse, followed by
a series of electric lamp explo-
sions, was reported to have been
the cause Of the accident.
The train, literally jammed with hu-
manity, came to a sharp stop a block
from the terminal.
A short circuit had occurred, causing
the motorman to halt the long string o:
cars. Every light bulb in the train ex-
ploded when he attempted to start again.
This was the signal for the panic which
sent screaming, fighting men and wo-
men toward exits and seeking to escape
from their cage-like imprisonment by
smashing windows. The confusion was
added to when guards prevented opening
of emergency doors. The lounge and
several salons of the hoyel Vandbilt
were converted into emergency hospi.
tails, where 25 persons received treat
ment.
Thirty others were removed to Belle
vue hospital. Officials of the Inter.
borough Rapid Transit company report
ed that up to 1O:3O clock they had re
co;vad word that IL narsops had haan
treated on station platforms. The
electric current in the third rail Of the
subway was discontinued to permit the
panic stricken thousands to make their
way to emergency exits.

The fact that the Texas G. A. R.
was to meet today did not become
generally known until last night,
when a few of the boys in blue began

About 100 of the men who fought for
the Union are attending their meet

Confederate veterans are at the state
fair park, several miles away. The
