5 o'clock, was held from the family
residence on st. Charles street, at
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Brief services were held at the
home, after which the funeral cor
tege wended its way to the First
Presbyterian church, where a ser.
mon was preached l'y Rev. E. P. Day,
pastor Of the church, followed by an
eloquent and touching tribute By
DR.. J. ". skinner l., Kingsville
president Of the Texas-Mexican In
stitute for Mexican Boys, for twenty
years a close personal friend Of DR..
Bells.
DR.. Skinner spoke Of DR.. Bell as
the kind Of friend who showed his
friendship ain time Of stress" and
reverted back to the time, a score of
years ago, when DR.. Skinner first
came to Brownsville as pastor Of
the Presbyterian church here.
He said that Or. Bell several years
ago expressed TO him two things
that he hoped 10 see accomplished
before he had passed away. The
first was a new home for the Pres
byterian church, one adequate to the
needs Of a Presbyterian congrega-
tion in a growing city; the other
the establishment OF the Kingsville
institute on a permanent basis.
Both of these he was fortunats
enough to live to see accomplished"
DR.. Skinner said.
DR.. Bell was senior director Of the
Texrs Mexican institute, and until
his health began to fail a few
months ago always attended the
board and other meetings, despite
his advanced age.
Dr.. Skinner paid tribute to DR.,
Bell as man Of high character, who
always thought things out" to see
If he was right. and il he was right
to stick by his opinions.
Attendance at the funeral services
by hundreds of friends and numer-
Gus floral offerings indicated the
wide esteem in which DR.. Bell was
held.

Congressional Race Is
sues To Be Talked
At Los Fresnos

Judge II. L. Yates Of Brownsville
will meet Sid Hardin Of Mission in
joint debate at Los Fresnos Tues
day night on the issues in the con-
gressional race.

"free-for-all" at the Los Fresnos
school house Friday night, upon the
request Of Mr.. Hardin, 70 any sup
porter Of Congressman Garner to
meet Hardin in debate az Los Fresnos
Tuesday night, and the invitation has
been accepted BY Judge Yates.
The debate is expected to center
upon the tariff record Of Congress
man Garner, whom Mr.. Hardin as
serts has consistently opposed pro-
lection for the South Texas farmers.
Garner supporters contend that the
Uvalde congressman has worked
consistently in behalf of the agri-
cultural interests, especially those Of
South Texas, and that il was largely
through his efforts that the present
fight to secure higher tomato and
onion tariff rates was inaugurated.
Judge Yates will be given the open
ing and closing addresses. Support
ers OF both candidates from all parts
of the county are expected TO attend
