TRANSFERS MONEY
TO ANOTHER CAR

The bandit. meanwhile. had driven
the pay car 10 Second ave. n. w.
and 10th St, where he jumped out
and smashed the paddock on the
money box. He transferred the cash
10 Chevrolet, while two small boys
stood nearby and watched him. He
drove away in the Chevrolet. An
other car across the street drove
away nj the same time and police
believe that there were other ban
dts in the Chevrolet or the other
machine. The abandoned pay car was
found within a few minutes by Roy
Tucker. motorman.
Railway Supt D. w. Henderson
said that the exact loss cannot be
determined, but that he estimates
it at about $1,000. which is fully
covered by insurance.
The record OF receipts was locked
up in the money box stolen by the
bandits, Henderson said.
Miller and Stevenson were held
up a year ago on November II,
at the Fremont carbarns by three
bandits. The robbers at that time
failed TO get any money. because the
pay car had not gone to the vault
and the money bags contained on!,
transfers.

BRYAN CANDIDATE
FOR CHURCH HEAD
Minister Interrupts Last t.Evo-
luton Address to Deny
Statement.
BY the Associated Press.

! By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 1S.-After a tour
of the East during which controversies
involving modernists, funda
and evolution burst forth with re.
newed 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. a candidate for moderator,
on strictly fundamentalist platform.
The Commoner. whose speech at
Brown University, Providence. r. l.,
was broken up by kissing and booins.
was accorded a somewhat similar re-
ceptlon at one of three addresses on
evolution that wound up the Eastern
campaign here yesterday.
Twice Interrupted.
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
Mr.. Bryan touched upon his assist
ance in prosecution of j. T. Scopes,
Dayton, Tenn, science teacher. on
charges of violating the law against
teaching Of evolution.
The disgrace is not the Tennessee
law" he said. 1T is that teachers
paid out Of taxes Of a community
which stamps its dollars in God we
trust should betray the trust reposed
in them by the taxpayers"
Malone and Darrow Accepted.
Dudley Field Malone, lawyer, New
York and Paris, has received from
Judge John Randolph Neal of Knox
Vile, Tenn. an acceptance of offers
by Mr.. Malone and Clarence Darrow
to assist in the defense of Scopes
Mr.. Malone telegraphed Judge Neal
that 1t was unAmerican and uncon-
Stitutional for legislative or ecclesi-
aStical authority to attempt to limit
the human mind in its search after
truth"
While Mr.. Bryan was busy de-
nouncing evolution yesterday, the
Rev. DIR. John Roach Straton, New
York fundamentalist. was defeated in
three attempts to have Baptist
ministerial conference go on record
as reaftirming its belief in the
church's tenet of baptism by i'm.
mersion only.
Another Controversy.
DR.. Straton's thrusts were aimed at
the Rev. DIR. Harry Emerson Fosdick
moderniSt, who has been called to the
Park Avenue Baptist Church, and
has stipulated that the church shall
not insist upon immersion.
Another angle of religious con-
troversy has developed at White
Plains, where taxpayer, Joseph
Lewis, president of the Free Think
ers' Society of New York, obtained a
court order for the Board of Educa-
ton to show cause why an injunc-
ton should not be granted to prevent
the teaching of religion as part of
the curriculum of the Mount Vernon
public schools.

five of the men he had seen jostling
women about before he turned ms
attention to the assistance of the
other women streaming from the
place.
Thomas Hodges, a lumberman from
Akron Ohio, who was in one or the
middle cars, commented bitterly on
the conduct of the men among the
tear -crazed passengers, saying many
of them had trampled women ana
children with no thought for any
thing but their own safety.
A. L. Merritt, traffic superintendent
of the Interborough, credited the mo
torman of the train with the possible
salvation of many lives. For 1t was
he, according to this official, VINO
rushed from his train as he saw the
panic developing in the cars behlEd
him, made his way to an emergency
station ahead and turned off the elec-
trio power that supplied the trains
with motive power through a thlrd
rail. Many of the fugitiveS through
the darkened tunnel stumbled against
the third rail- ordinarily deadly, IN
their rush for safety.
Officials of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Co. reported that up to l0:50
o'clock they had received word that
13 persons had been treated on station
platforms.
While police and subway employees
were telephoning for ambulances hre
alarms were turned in. The arrival OF
the apparatus near the subway exits
caused great crowds to gather, and
police reserves were called out to pre-
serve orcer.
Nearly all of the cars on the train
were packed. When the train came to
a sudden stop many of the passengers
were hurled from their seats. A few
moments later dense clouds of smoke
filled the train. Passengers rushed by
the guards and attempted to force
open the automatic doors, but the
guards prevented. Windows were then
smashed in the wild scramble to es-
cape.
Eyewitnesses reported that two
women were literally hurled through
the windows of one car by the crowds
endeavorinS TO escape.
The last serious subway mishap OF
a similar nature occurred on the East
Side subway December 10, 1928, when
$50 persons were injured in a panic
which started with a fire which sent
choking gases through the cars.
This accident occurred when fuses
in a motorman'S compartment blew
out and a fireman in the car attempted
to extinguish the flames by use of a
fire eXtinguishing chemical.
The authorities later charged that
the use of the chemical had but helped
spread the fire and swelled the acid
fumes.

TRY and do it," the Coast Guard
man replied.
Are you here all the time?" asked
the smuggler
Well" the keeper said. II have to
sleep, and occasionally l have time
off, and sometimes I'm called away
But there's man watching up in
that tower out there "a hours a day
The smuggler displayed a roll of
money.
There's $4,000 here" he said.
How does it look to you?"
1T looks pretty good to me-" said
the keeper, but not as good as the
bars look bad" And so that deal
fell through. He spoke the only
language his tempter understood.
Asked to Turn His Back.
In a third case exactly the same
amount, $4,000, was offered to d
Coast Guard man under approxi-
mately the same conditions. All
that was asked of this man was
that he turn his back while rum
running motor boats from the row
should enter the narrow inlet where
he stood guard. That offer, like the
others, was made shortly before the
present blockade of rum row was
put into effect. 1t was made at a
time when the new picket boats of
ing rapidly on waters around New
York.
Another bootlegger walked boldly
one night into a Coast Guard station
not far from New York City and
laid down $4,000 in bills before the
lone man on duty.
Whats that for?" asked the
Coast Guardsman.
For turning your back" replied
the bootlegger. Now turn it and
keep it turned
A second later the bootlegger was
looking into the wrong end of a
service revolver.
You are going to do the back
turning" announced the Coast
Guardsman. Turn it quick-to me
and keep going"
In still another case. also in New
Jersey, a well dressed man went to
a Coast Guard station early one aft
ernoon and announced that he was
ready to pay $4,000 for the privilege
of landing cargo on the beach
nearby where he could work safe
ly and without interruption"
Displays Large Sums.
He accompanied his offer with a
display of bills, a small roll of 81, 1,OOC
in $500 denominations. Before the
astonished Coast Guard man could
reply the caller hastily whisked the
money from sight and thrust it back
into his pocket.
1T won't do" he explained, ''for
you to get the money in such big
bills. Might excite suspicion when
you took it to the bank or some
thing. Now here and he dove
into the other side of his trousers
ARE some smaller bills. Suppose we
count off $4,000 in twenties and fifties
with a century now and then"
The roll he displayed was so large
that he got it back In his pocket only
after considerable effort.
In the sixth case an offer of $6 ,00C
was made to a Coast Guard employe
who had been injured while on duty
some years previously and had been
carried at full pay for many months
while he was recovering.
THE Government pays you next tC
nothing" was the way the bootlegger
put II. Now here's $6,O00-more than
you'll make in two years. And all I'm
asking is that you go for a walk to
morrow night and don't come back till
after midnight"
The Coast Guard man looked at the
money long before he answered.
mo" he finally said, slowly and de
liberately. "They were good to me
while I was on my back. l can't dc
it. But / sure need the money"

judgment on this question that is a
problem for science to solve?
Whether the theory of evolution is
true is to be decided, not by an act
of the Legislature, but by time and
study. Truth will prevail in the long
run, regardless of what we do.
The question is not concerned with
the truth, for truth can take care of
itself. Rather is it whether science
will continue to enjoy the liberty it
has had since the founding of our
Government. or shall we have to bow
again to superstition and prejudice,
as in its infancy. If through my
trial science can obtain liberty, | will
feel that | have contributed my bit
to science.

HONEYWELL APPEAL
NOT IN BODY'S SCOPE

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, May 19.-The To-
cal contest committee of the National
elimination balloon races decided last
night that neither the local committee
nor Referee A. B. Lambert of ST. Louis
had further jurisdiction over the cases
of Capt. Fl. z. Honeywell of st. Louis
and Herbert V. Thaden of Detroit,
who each were denoted one place in
the race for alleged failure to initiate
their balloons when ordered to do so.
The committee declared it was now a
matter for the national contest COM
mittee of the National Aeronautic AS
sociation to decide.
Maj. Lambert, the referee, recently
sent a letter to the committee here,

suggesting that the penalty be re-
moved. The local committee met las
night to act on the suggestion, after
being informed that Capt. Honeywell
had taken steps to appeal TO the ma
tional committee.
ST. LOUIS, May 19.-Capt. Harry
f. Honeywell, veteran balloonist, de-
clared yesterday that delay in deciding
whether he was to have a place in the
recent National balloon race had ssri
ously impaired his preparations for
the international contest and made it
unlikely that he would enter.
