BRAZIL FEDEHfiLS
SLOWLY CLOSE IN
•; ON REBEL FORCES
RIO DE JANEIRO, July 12.
Brazilian federal troops tonight were
throwing an iron ring around revo
lutionary soldiers who have held the
great interior city of Sao Paulo for
more than a week and deposed tem
porarily the state government head
ed by Carlos De Campos.
The famous mountain highway
between Sao Paulo and Santos, its
seaport, has been cleared of rebels
and federal reinforcements are pro
ceeding along the road to the great
interior plateau on which the fa
mous coffee capital is situated.
Artillery of the government forces
continues to pound away at the
rebel strongholds in thte great Luz
military barracks, near the center
of Sao Paulo city, and the Santa
Ana barracks, which overlooks the
fashionable avenida Paulista, Sao
Paulo's show street, along which
are situated the homes of many of
its coffee millionaires and many
Americans who have made fortunes
in Brazil.
With the situation apparently
■well in hand, and the rebel move
ment confined to Sao Paulo city, the
federal forces are proceeding slowly,
preferring to force surrender of the
rebels rat’uer than make another at
tempt to take their positions bv
storm —an action which, it is feared,
would cause an artillery battle that
would ruin scores of big buildings
k within range of the rebel cannon.
Rebel Position Hopeless
Reports in Rio de Janeiro tonight
Indicated that the rebel position has
become well-nigh hopeless.
The government, according to the
official Jornal do Commercio, is so
confident of victory that it refused
a rebel request for an armistice, de
manding unconditional surrender.
There is a report that Major
Bartholdo Klinger, said to be the
rebel chief of staff, has been cap
tured.
With a federal victory considered
certain, news of th severe fighting
which raged in Sao Paulo streets
and along the Santos-Sao Paulo
highway is gradually leaking
through the strict military censor
ship which was clamped down as
soon as martial law was declared
by the government soon after the
rebel movement started last week.
It is apparent that hundreds have
'6een killed, including many civilians
In the poorer sections of Sao Paulo
City, around the Luz barracks.
The government today gave out
two official communiques bearing
on the situation, in which it revealed
that all units of the army, infantry,
cavalry, airplanes and tanks have
been brought into action against the
rebels.
“Our troops have continued the
progress started yesterday,” the first
communique says. “During the early
morning of the 11th our artillery
bombarded the rebel positions for a
long time.
“At 6:30 a. m. our attacking forces
divided to attain their aims, being
entirely successful and capturing 21
machine guns in the action.”
Accounts Exaggerated
The second communique, which
was telegraphed to all embassies in
foreign capitals, deplores exagger
ated accounts of the rebellion which
have been telegraphed from Buenos
Aires on the strength of garbled
reports reaching the Argentine cap
ital by telephone from southern
Brazil.
“The movement in Sao Paulo,”
this communique says, “is nothing
more than a mutiny which was pro
voked by part of the state’s militarv
police and joined in by part of the
federal garrison in Sao Paulo City.
“This mutiny, because of the en
ergetic measures taken by the fed
eral and state governments, remains
confined strictly to the city of Sao
Paulo and has not spread to the in
terior of the state or other parts of
the country.”
Federal forces penetrated to the
center of the city today, the com
munique says, but does not explain
whether positions there were main
tained.
The federal forces are “not pre
cipitating surrender or arrest of the
rebels, since it is desired to avoid
unnecessary damage to the city.”
Federal cavalry this afternoon
took many prisoners.
Regular passenger service between
Rio and Mogy Das Cruzes (40 kilo
meters from the scene of military
operations) will be resumed on the
Central Do Brasil railway tomorrow.
Central Do Brasil is the principal
line between Rio and Sao Paulo.
Travelers reaching Rio and San
tos report seeing scores of dead and
wounded in the streets. It also is
known that the federal forces, con
sisting largely of marine units, suf
fered heavy losses in fighting their
way to the long forest-covered moun
tain slopes along the Santos-Sao
UPaulo highway.
Causes of the rebellion still are
obscure, owing to the censorship. It
now appears, however, that the out
break was the result of political am
bitions of a handful of military lead
ers of the Sao Paulo state army,
who induced their men to join them
in tfie plot.
Another story is that jealousy be
tween rival military leaders was
partly responsible for the outbreak.
General Abrilio de Naronha, the
Sao Paulo military commander, was
captured by the rebels the night
of July 5, it is reported. He was
succeeded by General Candido Mari
ano Pamplona.

GEORGIA CREDITED
WITH PUTTING OVER
DAVIS NOMINATION
BY RALPH SMITH
NEW YORK, N. Y., July 12
George D. Morris, Albany corre
spondent and political authority for
the New York Telegram and Eve
ning Mail, credits Georgia -with hav
ing nominated John W. Davis. In a
signed story appearing this after
noon, Morris says:
“Although the Smith supporters
are being held responsible for the
nomination of Davis, the supporters
of William G. McAdoo today are de
claring that they were responsible
for his nomination and they are
showing by (..cry act they expect to
make capital of that declaration. As
stated in the New York Telegram
and Evening Mail, it was the fear
of the Smith drive for d
that really caused . ..mpede of
McAdoo delegates.
“After the 102nd ballot had been
taken, John S. Cohen, of Georgia,
went to the lowa delegation and
said to Clyde L. Herring, national
committeeman from Iowa:
“ ‘Withdraw Meredith and throw
your votes to Davis. If you don’t
Underwood will be nominated.’
“On the next ballot Georgia gave
twenty-seven of its twenty-eight
votes to Davis. On that same bal
lot the New York delegation reduced
by half the vote it had previously
given Underwood. Before the ballot,
which proved to be the last one,
was started Franklin D. Roosevelt,
floor leader for Governor Smith, told
the writer: 1
“ ‘We will go to Thomas J. Walsh
on the next ballot, giving him our
ninety votes. If we do it now it will
spoil his chances of being nominated.
But after this ballot we will make
our drive for Walsh.’ ”
Coolidges Solemn as
‘Mayflower’ Puts Out
Without Young Calvin
WASHINGTON, July 12.—Eigh
teen-year-old John Coolidge sat in a
deck chair on the presidential yacht
Mayflower as it drew away from
land today, his face hard and set
and his eyes fixed in a moody stare
straight before him.
Two weeks ago when the Cool
idges last went cruising on the May
flower, young Calvin was in the
party. The two brothers were in
separable comrades. Today John
was alone. Instead of manifesting
his usual interest in the operations
of the yacht in getting away, he
remained hunched in the deck chair
as if oblivious of his surroundings.
A few feet away his mother, Mrs.
Coolidge, dressed entirely in white,
sat in a swing chair conversing
quietly with Mrs. Arthur Capper,
wife of the Kansas senator. John
Coolidge, the president’s father, and
Mr. and Mrs. Stearns drew away to
one side. Th© president himself, a
motionless figure framed in a
cabin doorway, gazed unwaveringly
ashore.
So did the Coolidge family enter
upon one more of its customary pur
suits, a week-end cruise, marked as
will be all the others by the tragic
absence of young Calvin.

DAVIS-BRYAN TICKET WISE
SELECTION, MRS. ALEXANDER
AND MAJOR COHEN AGREE
Georgia’s National Committee Members Pay High Trib
ute to New Standard Bearers of Democracy.
Pleased With Defeat of Reactionaries
BY RALPH SMITH
NEW YORK, July 12. —That a really wise choice was made
by the national convention in the nomination of John W.
Davis, of West Virginia, and Charles W. Bryan, of Ne-
1 braska, as the Democratic standard bearers, is the opinion of
Georgia’s members of the Democratic national committee. Major
John S. Cohen, national committeeman, and Mrs. Edgar Alex
ander, national committeewoman, joined Thursday afternoon in
the issuance of a statement, discussing the outcome of the con
vention, the qualifications of the nominees and the chances for
a Democratic victory in the November election.
Major Cohen and Mrs. Alexander, who were among William
G. McAdoo’s most active and influential supporters throughout
the trying convention which elected them as members of the
national committee, attended the committee meeting yesterday
at the Waldorf, and the issuance of their statement followed the
speeches of Mr. Davis and Governor Bryan.
Previous to the committee meeting, Mrs. Alexander at
tended a breakfast of the national committeewomen, and was
cordially welcomed by other committeewomen, who were re
elected. Mrs. Alexander has made many friends during her visit
to New York, especially among members of the national commit
tee and Democratic leaders from various sections of the country.
Her pleasing personality and charming manner have won for her
a host of political friends who recognize in her many splendid
qualities of leadership.
MR. DAVIS WELL EQUIPPED
FOR HIGHEST U. S. OFFICE
The joint statement of Major Cohen and Mrs. Alexander
follows:
“The outcome of the most eventful political convention in the
history of American politics is now being appraised by the par
ticipants and observers of the stressful and strenuous contest.
The real progressives of the south and west who earnestly advo
cated the cause of William G. McAdoo, because they believed
that he alone could carry their banner to success, were first re
sentful, then bewildered and now believe that perhaps after the
tumult and the shouting has subsided a really wise choice has
been made in the nomination of Davis and Bryan.
“They argue thusly: Surely no man in the history of Amer
ica is better equipped by birth, temperament and training for
the exalted office of president than John W. Davis, of West Vir
ginia.
“The Democratic stripling who carried democracy to a success
in the stronghold of West Virginia Republicanism; a solici
tor general of the United States whose fame still resounds in the
halls of the department of justice; an ambassador to Great
Britain who shed luster upon his native shores, and who cement
ed the friendship of the great Anglo-Saxon nations and without
involving America in entangling alliances; and a great lawyer
who stands at the very peak of American jurisprudence and is
regarded as one of the two best legal minds in America, emerges
from the conflict as the choice of great historic and only truly
national party.
"As his running mate we have Charles W. Bryan, brother of
William Jennings, and a man of his own make and mark, a
Democratic governor of a middle-western Republican state by
fifty thousand majority, and renominated not only by the Demo
crats but by the Farm-Labor party for re-election.
RANK AND FILE OF PROGRESSIVES
SELECTED THE STANDARD BEARERS
"It is much too early to predict success or defeat for this re
markable ticket which emerged from the rancour and hate and
gloom and despair of this most unusual convention. Wise politi
cal writers like David Lawrence and others see great hope for it.
Wise political observers from all sections see great hope for it,
and yet forty-eight hours ago no man was willing to predict
that democracy could have a chance unless William G. McAdoo
was the standard bearer.
“That John W. Davis was the ultimate choice of the progres
sives of America was manifest. When Mr. McAdoo and his man
agers became convinced that the wet and reactionary influences
in the convention, which had been crystallized and solidified by
a fictitious religious issue, had made his nomination impossible
they had to choose between breaking the convention up in a
row or permitting the party to run without rein. And thus the
convention did run without dictation from McAdoo or Smith or
the friends of either, and the net result, after two weeks of
fury and frenzy, was the nomination of a man whose progressive
record appealed to the rank and file of the delegates from all sec
tions of the country.
“There is strong warrant for the bdlief that when Mr. Mc-
Adoo released his delegates there was the fervent hope among the
Democratic ward bosses of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Boston that Underwood’s nomination would be put over. On
the ballot previous to the nomination when New York, Pennsyl
vania and Illinois threw the bulk of their strength to Under
wood, Georgians sensed what was about to occur, and on the next
Georgia voted twenty-seven for Davis and one for Underwood,
thus furnishing the keynote for other McAdoo states. It was
through the influence of the Georgia delegation that Meredith’s
name was withdrawn in lowa and the votes for the Hawkeye
state cast for Davis.
DAVIS’ ABILITY AS CAMPAIGNER
IO SETTLE FATE OF ELECTION
"No political observer, no newspaper writer, no student of
the times can predict with certainty the outcome of the approach
ing election. The shadow of LaFollette crosses a dozen or more
normally Republican states and leaves the issue in grave doubt.
The success or failure of the ticket depends largely upon the
impression that Mr. Davis himself can make upon the voters of
America. That he is a man of unassailable character and superb
mentality and culture is undisputed, but in the final analysis it
will be his ability to convince the American people that he is truly
a progressive as he really is, which will settle the fate of the
election.
"We feel sure that the Democrats of Georgia will give whole
hearted, unstinted support to the candidacy of Davis and Bryan.
We share with all Georgians the disappointment, if not the grief,
that they must feel at the failure of the Democratic convention
to nominate their native son.
“His nomination could not be secured. His fearlessness in
espousing the cause of the plain people of America, in office
and out, was undoubtedly his undoing, but it is a wholesome and
gratifying fact that Mr. Davis was not a party to the conspiracv
which prevented the nomination of William G. McAdoo.
“We feel sure that the Democrats of Georgia will not only be
proud of their candidates but will rally to their support in over
whelming numbers and keep aloft the banner of democracy which
has never been scarred by Republican defeat in the history of the
Empire state of the south.”

VANISHED OFFICER
SEEN WITH WOMEN.
SEARCHERS LEAM
COLUMBIA, S. C., July 13.
Major Samuel H. McLeary, coast
artillery corps officer who disap
peared July 2, at Raleigh, N. C.,
as he was about to leave forth if
city, is believed to have been seen
in Bennettsville, S. C., the. following
day, according to a report reaching
the Columbia State.
The report was from a druggist
at Bennettsville, who said that on
July 3, a man in an army officer’s
uniform, accompanied by two wom
en, drove up in front of his store
in a Dodge automobile bearing a
Kansas license. The druggist said
the man answered the description
of Major McLeary, which have been
broadcast. He said he does not re
member the rank insignia worn by
the officer.
It is pointed out here that Ben
nettsville is only about forty miles
from Fayetteville, N. C., where Fort
Bragg is situated and that it is not
improbable that there ‘are a number
of artillery officers at that post who
recently have been at Fort Leaven
worth or the army riding school at
Fort Riley, Kansas, and have auto
mobiles with Kansas license plates.
RALEIGH, N. C.7 July 12.—The
officer seen at Bennettsville, 8. C-,
on July 2, is believed here to have
ben Lieut. Colonel A. J. O’Leary of
the United States marine corps in
stead of Major Samuel J. McLeary,
of the United States army, who dis
appeared-in Rale?gh on July 2 while
en route from Norfolk, Va., to Fort
Moultrie, S. C.
Garage men here assert Major
McLeary stored his machine here
on the night of July 2 instead of
proceeding to Columbia, S. C., where
he had wired for money to be sent
to him. However, the officer was
registered at no Raleigh hotel and
no definite trace of his movements
has been obtained.
Friends here searching for Major
McLeary tonight asked that a re
quest as to information of Lieuten
ant Colonel O’Leary’s whereabouts
be broadcast. Such information was
requested to be sent to the Raleigh
News and Observer, which is assist
ing in the extensive effort to locate
the lost army officer. It was ex
plained that Major McLeary and
Lieutenant Colonel O’Leary were
thought to have been at Fort Leav
enworth together and to have known
each other personally. In such a
case, the searchers believe that
Lieutenant Colonel O’Leary might
be of assistance in locating Major
McLeary.
A telegram was received at the of
fice of Governor Morrison today
from Governor Pat Neff, of Texas,
asking the North Carolina execu
tive to institute a statewide search
for Major > McLeary.
It was stated at the governor’s
office that county officers through
out the state would be asked to
make a search for the missing offi
cer. Major McLeary is understood
to be a native of Texas.
Major McLeary, while in Raleigh,
telegraphed a bank at Hampton,
Va., instructing that funds be wired
him in care of a Columbia, S. C.,
hotel- The money was returned to
‘he bank several days later when
T a.jor McLeary failed to put in an
appearance at Columbia.
The local post of the American
Legion today offered a reward of
5100 for information leading to the
finding; of the officer. The organi
zation has also appealed to legion
naires in all parts of the state to
make a search for him tomorrow.
The local police today received a
telephone message from Louisburg,
22 miles northwest of here, saying
that a car of the same make as that
in which Major McLeary was trav
eling, and bearing a Kansas itate
license, was seen there last Tuesday
or Wednesday. The car was said
to have been driven by an army of
ficer.
J. E. Wilson, of Newport News, a
friend of the McLeary family, ar
rived in Raleigh today to aid in the
search for the officer. A number
of theories regarding the disappear
ance of the officer have been ad
vanced, but the one most commonly
heard is that Major McLeary is an
amnesia victim.
SALESMAN GIYES CLUE;
SAW OFFICER AM) WOMAN
CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 12.—W.
S. Anderson, Charlotte traveling
salesman, said today that he met a
man fitting the description of Major
Samuel E. McLeary, so far as he
could tell, and driving a Dodge tour
ing car bearing a Fort Leavenworth
license plate, on the state highway
between Charlotte and Gastonia Tate
last Thursday afternoon. A woman
rode beside the driver of the car,
but the rear seat was vacant, said
Mr. Anderson, who said the car at
tracted his attention because of the
Fort Leavenworth plate, not fre
quently seen in this vicinity.
FRIENDS IN OLD DOMINION
ASK GOVERNOR TO ASSIST
NORFOLK, Va., July 12.—Search
for Major Samuel H. McLeary, coast
artillery corps, who disappeared in
Raliegh, N. C., July 2 while en
route from Norfolk to Fort Moultrie,
S. C., shifted tonight to Virginia
upon receipt of a report by friends
here that a man answering the de
scription of the officer had been seen
several days ago at Louisburg, N. C.,
driving an automobile toward the
Virginia line.
Friends here of the officer decided
to call on Governor Trinkle and the
American Legion to institute a com
plete search of the western and
southern parts of Virginia. The
Raleigh and Louisburg reports have
strengthened the belief here that
Major McLeary is an amnesia vic
tim and may be aimlessly driving
about the country.

’Uncle Wess’ Cleveland
Surveyor of Elbert
County for 47 Years
ELBERTON, Ga., July 12.—Elbert
county can boast of one of the oldest
office holders in the state in R. W.
Cleveland, county surveyor,- known
to the people of northeast Georgia
as “Uncle Wess.”
Mr. Cleveland is now in his eighty
second year, and has been official
surveyor of Elbert county for a pe
riod of 47 years. He has had oppo
sition several times in years gone
by, but in recent years has held his
job without the slightest intimation
of opposition.
He is yet active and performing
the duties of his office. He learned
how to survey some fifty years ago
through what he could pick up in the
schools of the county, from observa
tion while watching other surveyors,
and from study of various books on
the subject.
Mr. Cleveland has reared a large
family of children and now has
grandchildren and great-grandchil
dren. He was recently nominated in
the primary election for another
term in office.
There are very few pieces of land
in this county he has not surveyed,
and it is interesting to hear him tell
about the fact that for about twenty
years during his term of office he
had to ride about the county on
horse-back and in buggies, and it
took him nearly as long to get to a
farm, as it. did to survey it. He thinks
the automobile is the greatest inven
tion yet. Also, he can well remem
ber when there was not a wire or
barbed wire fence in Elbert county,
but all fences were plank or the old
fashioned rail fences.
When it is remembered the land
in this section of the state is not in
land lots, but the land lines ar© all
irregular and have to be surveyed
out without reference to land lot
lines, it is easily seen the county
surveyor’s job here is a much more
important one than In the counties
of south Georgia where the land is
in square lots with well defined
courses and distances.
Mr. Cleveland is unable to say just
how many miles he has walked dur
ing his 47 years as county surveyor.

reduction In freight rates, realizes
that useless passenger service would
effectually prevent that reduction,”
Mr. Shealy declared In discussing
the removal of trains between Co
lumbia and Sumter. He pointed out
that where trains arrive shortly after
each other at one city, a substantial
saving can be effected by the elimina
tion of one train and making the
ether a local in certain cases.
The commission recently author
ized the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road company to discontinue trains
Nos. 68 and 69, operating between
Sumter and Columbia, provided the
railroad company will arrange for
train No. 54 to leave Columbia at
6 o’clock in the morning and do local
work between the two cities, and set
up train No. 50 to leave Columbia at
2 p. m., and train No. 52 to do local
work between Columbia and Sumter.
The petition of the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad for authority to discon
tinue operation of one train on the
Prestall-Pregnall branch has fieen
withdrawn by W. H. Newell, general
superintendent of the road, it was
announced at commission headquar
ters.
The commission has been advised
by the Western Union Telegraph
company that its request for estab
lishment of an office at Lodge, S. C-,
will be complied with, it was stated.
Hearing on the petitibn of the
Hampton and Branchville railroad
for a certificate of convenience and
necessity to extend its lines has been
advanced from July 30 to July 16.
Complaint was filed with the com
mission by George W. Clapp, traffic
manager, of Greenville, relative to
alleged discriminatory intrastate
rates on common soap, less than in
carload lots.

TELLS OF HOLD-UP, 11
THEN RUNS ANIUCK.
SHOOTING OFFICER
NEWARK, N. J., July 12.—WIL
liarn Nestor, city detective, and for
mer football star of Rutgers col
lege. was seriously wounded today
by a man who fired two bullets Inta
the detective’s abdomen after walk
ing into police headquarters and an
nouncing that he wanted to report
a hold-up. Pursued through all four
floors of the building, the assailant
was twice wounded by detectives and
patrolmen before he was captured.
Nestor was taken to a hospital
where an operation was resorted, to
as the only possibility of saving his
life. The attacker received a bul
let wound in the left arm and a scalp
laceration.
Scars of the battle marked the
hallways and staircases ot police
headquarters.
The police believe the man Is In
sane. When he entered headquar
ters he spoke incoherently of a “big
man who had followed him from
Scranton, Pa., and robbed him of
$400.” He walked into a corridor, met
Nestor and began shooting.
The assailant fled with detectives
behind him shooting rapidly. He re
turned the fire, fled to the second
floor, emptied his gun at the de
tectives and then fled to the first
floor where he was captured.
It is the belief of the detectives
that the man, still under the delusion
that he was being pursued, thought
Nestor was the Scranton hold-up
man or an accomplice. The de
tectives’ assailant was identified as
Anthony Sarkis, of Newark and De
troit.
