Big Battle Looms in Brazil
Government Gathers Forces As Rebels March
Toward Capital; Famine May Follow
RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 8.—<;P>—The federal government, striking back
at the gathering revolution, today developed two strong offensives de
signed to crush the rebellion in the south and to engage the insurgent
armies far from this capital and Sao Paulo, second city of the republic.
The first of these was an advance into the rebel state of Minas
Geraes, principal source of Rio De Janeiro's food and milk supplies.
Troops advanced along the Central railway and re-occupied several
towns, among them Palmyra. Opposition was Inconsiderable. Federal

Theft Ring of South Texas
Believed Broken; Many
Cars Recovered
HOUSTON. Oct. 8 — ^—Seven
automobiles have been returned to
Houston and felony theft charges
filed against six men after an In
vestigation into what police called
an automobile theft -ring" operat
ing between Houston ' and Corpus
Christl.
Lieutenant B W. Payne, head of
the police department's automobile
theft bureau, returned here today
and said he expected to recover
about 14 more automobiles which he
alleged were stolen in Houston and
sold in Corpus Christl.
The men charged are Tom C. Nye.
Richard Moody. A. B. Evans. J.
Garcia, H. J. Bartee and Sanfora
Bartee. Moody and Sanford Bartee
were placed in Jail. Arrest of the
others was expected momentarily.
Payne said the investigation
started with the arrest of Sanford
Bartee In Houston. He alleged Bar
tee was caught while attempting to
sell an automobile here that had
been stolen in Corpus Chrlsti. Two
charges of felony theft were filed
against Bartee. and he was sent
back to Corpus Christl.
Next. Payne said, he got a tele
gram from Deputy Sheriff Jim
Shown of Corpus Chrlsti saying he
had information about a “ring.**
Payne left immediately for Corpus
Christl. Since that time, there has
been a succession of trips between
Houston and Corpus Christl by
Payne and detectives.
“The ring was being operated
through a finance corporation at
Corpus Christi.” Payne said. “The
cars were being picked up In Hous
ton and sold to the finance cor
poration at a flat price of $200
each.
“The finance corporation was
setting $175 and upward for the
same cars. When a prospective
purchaser didn't have the money
they would be financed at a charge
of about 35 per cent interest.”

RIFLE RANGE
SOUGHT FOR
FORTBROWN
Committee to Meet
To Arrange For
Construction
A rifle range near Brownsville,
primarily for the use of Port Brown
soldiers but which will also be open
to civilians, will probably be the
result of a meeting Friday of a
committee of Brownsville citizens
composed of Sam Perl, Arthur Hipp,
C. C. Henderson. Bert Cromack and
H. B. Batsell with Major Grow, of
the local army post.
Agitation for an adequate range
has been under way for some time,
but nothing definite had been done
until the meeting Friday morning
was announced. The estimated cost
is $800.
It has been explained that due
to the absence of a rifle range here
soldiers from Fort Brown have been
forced to go to Fort Ringgold for
practice. This has resulted in an
average of one-third of the local
troops being away at all times. Look
ing at the situation from a commer
cial angle, this means that one-third
of the annual payroll of $260,000
is being spent out of Brownsville.
Announcement has been made
that development in and around
Rio Orande City, and the construc
tion of a highway near the pres
ent site of the rifle range there
will necessitate the abandonment
of the range. This means that If a
range is not constructed hei-e. sol
diers will have to journey to Fort
Mackintosh, and consequently be
gone from Brownsville much longer.
Civilians, Too
Civilians would have the use of
the range for practice if one is
constructed here, according to Ma
jor Grow. A club may be organized
of local citizens, and affiliation ob
tained with the National Rifle as
sociation. If this Is done, arrange
ments can be made whereby rifles
may be borrowed from Fort Brown
free of charge, and ammunition be
purchased at special reduced rates
An army officer will be in charge
and give instructions.
An investigation by the chamber
of commerce here has revealed that
there are any number of suitable
sites around Brownsville for a
range, and the committee named
to meet with Major Grow will prob
ably decide upon a definite loca
tion during the Friday morning
meeting.
A club, the only one in the Val
ley at present, has been organized '
at Mission, and has become affili
ated with the national association
An officer from Fort Ringgold gives
instructions. Major Grow is han
dling this end of the business, hav
ing written to national headquar
ters Wednesday.

RIO THREATENS
TO TAX BANKS
Big Rise Now Coming From
Laredo With San Juan
Flow Unknown
If the San Juan river, a tributary
of the Rio Grande in Mexico, brings
any large amount of water into the
international border stream within
the next two days, this, added to
the amount already in the river and
flowing towards the Rio Grande,
may cause a flood with danger of
the water escaping the banks.
At Laredo Wednesday morning
the river was 9.4 feet, a rise of 5.7
feet since last night. The Rio
Grande is unusually wide at Laredo,
and this amount of water there
will result in the river becoming
two-thirds full in Brownsville and
the Lower Valley, according to
weather chief W. J. Schnurbusch
today.
At Rio Grande City a rise of 5.8
feet has been noticed during the
past 24 hours, Mr. Schnurbusch
said
The present amount of water in
the river will bring it two-thirds
full, but if any water comes from
the San Juan, a powerful tributary
entering the river from Mexico,
there will be danger of a fall flood.
A study of past records shows that
during this time of j-ear. late Sep
tember or durine October, floods
are common in the Valley.
The San Juan drains a portion
of what is known as the watershed
of the Rio Grande.
Caution has been advised. The
rise here is expected to be within
the next one to three days.
Grapefruit Price Is
Blamed on Grapes
<Sneel*l to The ^erald)
HARLINGEN. Oct. 8—The fact
that citrus fruit prices are not quite
up to what they were last year is
blamed by J. C. Powell, in charge of
the state green fruit law enforce
ment in the Valley, on low prices
of other fruits such as grapes and
pears
With prices of such fruit remain
ing low. the higher priced grapefruit
will be passed temporarily at least,
he said. Mr. Powell believes that
the price of citrus fruit will pick up
soon.
Although rains are holding up
maturity of fruit at this time, it
will rebound to the benefit of the
Valley through increased size, he
said.
Florida is shipping a great deal
of citrus fruit, he said, pointing out
that 1.100 carloads have moved from
that state since opening of the new
season.

ATHLETICS WIN
WORLD TITLE
Earnshaw Holds Cards Eating From His Hand
Until Final Frame; Hallahan Fails
To Go Second Time
SHIBE PARK. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 8.—</PV—Behind the wonderfUi
pitching of Big George Earnshaw, Connie Mack's Athletics today won
their second successive world's baseball championship, crushing the St.
Louis Cardinals 7 to 1 in the sixth game. It gave the Athletics the se
ries, four games to two.
The Athletics hammered the offerings of Wild Bill Hallahan, their
previous conqueror, as well as the pitching of his successors, Sylvester
Johnson and Jim Lindsey, with the most sustained and spectacular bat
ung auacK oi me woria s senes. *
T!.e world's champions made
their seven hits count for as many
runs as they went on a rampage
and quickly settled the issue that
had been so hard fought and close
• t*. today.
The Cardinals, ready for a des
perate tght to win today and ex-1
tend the series to the seven game'
limit, decided to make another
switch in their batting order for the
purpose of trying to concentrate a
bigger punch iround the top of the
list. * I
The shakeup resulted in dropping
Sun^y Jim Bottomley. first base
man, who has hit .050 in five
games, from the cleanup position to
sixth place, with Frank Frisch
moved down from third to fourth
and the right fielder George Wat
kins or Ray Blades, from sixth to
third place. *
T<rsnager Gabby Street, in an
i.oun'ing the shift, declared he ?x
pected the shakeup, with Bill Halla
han, Southpaw, to help the Red
Bird again deadlock the series.
"We haven't been hitting up to
our normal stride, with the excep
tion of Wilson and Gelbert,” said
Street, "The boys are due today."
The same thing might have been
s-id by Connie Mack, if he cared to
comment on the situation. The
As hitting has been heavy when
It has amounted to anything but
th Mac raen scored only two of
the 2" .mings played in St. Louis.
It was a shift in the Cardinal
lineup, the substitution of Jimmy
'ilson behind the bat for Gus
Mancuso, that accompanied the
turn of thi series tide in the Na
tionr* leaguers’ favor in the third

JANESVILLE. Wls., Oct. 8.—(iP>—It was a day for witches and wizards.
Rain pelted the windows of the municipal court room in which a mem

sorcery against Henry Dorn. 64-year-old German farmer.
His sister. Mrs. Herman Prey, her family and neighbors whom Dorn
blamed for the tales of sorcery and magic, huddled on a single bench

Harry Fox, assistant district at

These charges were that by the

cows to run dry, apples to rot on
trees and hens to tease laying eggs
He had placed a curse, the charges
said, on growing crops; and long
spells of sickness had come to thr
home of his sister.
In continuing the hearing today
