GIRL IS NAMED NEW LOUISIANA CHIEF OF STATE 24-Year-Old Aid Lifted to His Cabinet by Governor Huey Long. BY BARRY J. HOLLOWAY (Jutted Pres* Stall Correspondent BATON ROUGE, La.. Oct. 9. Miss Alice Lee Grosjean, Governor Huey P. Long’s young and pretty private secretary, presided over the department of state today as Louisiana’s first woman to hold that position. Miss Grosjean's elevation to an office in his cabinet was announced by the Governor Wednesday, a few hours after the death of James J. Bailey, who was serving his fourth term. Bailey’s death, following a v cek’s pneumonia, was unexpected. The new secretary is an attractive brunette, 24 years old. She entered the Governor’s service when she was 18, and two years later divorced her liusband, James Terrell of E] Dorado, Ark. During the recent senatorial campaign, which resulted in Long’s nomination, Terrell threatened to sue the Governor for alienation of Miss Grosjean's affections, but the mit never was filed. Won't Run for Office Miss Grosjean. who eight years ago was graduated from a Shreveport high school, said she would not seek the office when her commission expires in 1932. Rather. Miss Grosjean said, she prefers to go to Washington as secretary of Governor Long, United States senator-elect. A slight young woman with wavy chestnut hair, Miss Grosjean tilted back in her big chair at the secretary of state’s office. • I didn’t ever dream I would be a state official.” she laughed, ‘‘although like every child I had aspirations to be President of the United States.” Politics, however, are not new to the attractive young woman. She has been active in four campaigns of Governor Long, when he ran for public service commissioner, two gubernatorial campaigns, and his recent successful campaign for the Democratic nomination to the United States senate. Member of Prominent Family The young Governor's meteoric political career has been a succession of startling incidents, but probably no act of his caused as much surprise as his appointment tof Miss Grosjean. The Governor said, however, that he was following precedent. -Several other Governors have appointed their secretaries to the .office of secretary of state when a vacancy occurred.” Long said. “I feel that Miss Grosjean is comfietent to fill the office.” He added hat she had the indorsement of political leaders. Miss Grosjean is a member of a prominent Louisiana family, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George of Shreveport. Long has been a stormy figure in fctate politics ever since he first ran for public service commissioner. His tenure as Governor has been Jnarked by bitter political feuds and efforts to have him impeached. Recently, however, after his very substantial indorsement by the voters, (opposing factions agreed to a ♦ truce.” MARY STfCKS _ T<rFILMS ♦‘America’s Sweetheart" Abandons Appearance on Stage.

Brazilian Army Is Marching to Stamp Out Rebellion in South

General Da Costa, Leading Troops, Reports Progress in Federal Drive. BY C. A. POWELL United Press Staff Correspondent (Coovrieht. 1930. bv United PresM RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 9—The federal offensive against revolutionaries in the south was started irom the state of Santa Catharine today, under ltadership of General Nepomuceno Da Costa. General Da Costa, commander of the fifth military region at Florianpolis, advised Heitor Penteado, vicepresident of the State of Sao Paulo, that the offensive had been started and “everything continues well.” The recruits responded readily to the government's call to arms. Bulletins issued on the progress of enlistment indicated that the government would be successful in raising the force of 420,00 men it intends to have ready for duty by Oct. 15. Administration of food supplies by the government functioned smoothly. Fines of $24 to $5,000 and thirty days’ imprisonment will be imposed on violators of the food regulations. Export of foodstuffs has been prohibited, except in cases of oversupply. The government took over control of the railways today and began arming vessels of the Lloyd Brasileiro merchant fleet, a subsidized organization. These may be used for troop transports if necessary. Official sources said that disturbances were limited to five states, Rio Grande Do Sul and Parana in the south; Minas Geraes, just north of the capital, and Pernambuco and Parahyba in the north. Rebels Claim Advances BY GEORGE MAYER United Press Staff Correspondent (Copvrieht. 1930. bv United Press' MONTEVIDEO. Uruguay, Oct. 9 —Brazilian rebels claimed possession of four important northern states today and reported that their forces under General Juarez Tovara were marching southward toward Bahia, ancient capital of Brazil. Alagoas was the latest northern state reported in rebel hands. The revolutionists said that 30,000 men were advancing form the south on Sao Paulo, long a federal stronghold and most important industrial city of the nation. They claimed that two federal destroyers sent to Imbuta, state of Santa Catharina. had joined the revolt. They reported the capture of six federal airplanes at Natal, important sea port in northern Brazil. The states of Pernambuco. Piauhy. Rio Grande Do Norte, and Alagoas in the north, now are under rebel control, it was claimed. It appeared the insurrectionists intended to press southward to Bahia and join rebel forces in Minas Geraes. thus spreading the revolt through the majority of the seaboard states on both sides of Rio De Janeiro. Bahia, the reported objective of General Tovara, was the first capital of Brazil and is the present headquarters of the Brazilian church. It has one of the best harbors on the Brazilian coast and would be of considerable strategic importance in the northern campaign. Revolutionary headquarters reported today that insurgent troops had cut the railroad communications between Rio de Janeiro and the strong federal city of Sao Paulo. The rebels claimed to have captured the town of Lorena. on the railroad, between the capital and Sao Paulo. , DRY REPORT MAPPED % Congress to Get Results of Quiz in December.

LEGION HOTEL ] RAIDS FOLLOW BOSTON REVEL Forty U. S. Dry Raiders Peer Into Guests’ Rooms Seeking Booze. REALLY FIND A ’LEGGER Lone Arrest Is Climax of Surprise Swoop as Parley Is Closing. By United Press BOSTON, Oct. 9.—Charges of Massachusetts dry leaders that liquor peddling was widespread in connection with the twelfth annual convention of the American Legion were followed today by surprise visits by federal prohibition agents to several Boston hotels. It was not an organized campaign against bootleggers catering to the legion trade, federal prohibition officials said, but a “tour of inspection.” One suspected bootlegger was arrested. Reports that several others had been ejected from Hotel Statler, legion headquarters, were denied by prohibition authorities. Peer Into Guests’ Rooms The agents peered into several rooms at various hotels, but did not disturb guests. Approximately forty dry. officers, including Dennis T. Lorden, agent in charge of the local prohibition units, participated. Lorden declined to express an opinion as to liquor condition in Boston during the Legion convention. “It’s an embarrassing question for one in my position,” he said. “Os course there has been some drinking. We haye merely been trying to enforce the law.” Comment on Revelry

Referring to wild revelry in Boston streets Tuesday night and to charges of Mrs. Henry W. Peabody of rampant liquor drinking and peddling during the convention. O. L. Bodenhamer, national commander, said the present convention has been “the best conducted” one ever held. He charged that hoodlums—under Legion age—took advantage of the general hilarity. There had been some Legion drinking, but the rowdies were not Legion men, he said. The Rev. George Kettell, national chaplain, admitted there Hhd been some drinking, but added that “Legion conventions are becoming more sober each year.’ ’ Superintendent Arthur J. Davis of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon League, said liquor conditions in Boston during the convention were not ideal, but better than they would have been in the old saloon days. Refuse Repeal Demand The legion today declined to consider the question of repeal of the eighteen amendment. A resolution presented by the department of New York and calling for repeal of the prohibition amendment was ruled out of order by Commander Bodenhamer, who declared the resolution was not in accord with the clause of A he legion’s constitution preventing the body from acting on purely political matters. Ralph T. O’Neil of Topeka, Kan., was expected to be elected at today’s final business session as successor to Commander Bodenhammer. although J. Munroe Johnson of Marion, S. C., had marshaled considerable support.

RALPH CAPONE IS DENIED ‘COURTESY,’ THEN JAILED

By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—Ralph Capone, “Scarface Al’s” younger brother, was denied the “courtesy” his attorneys asked for today, and ordered to jail on a vagrancy charge. Judge John H. Lyle, before whom Ralph appeared in felony court, declared that “you’ll get no courtesy from me.” He ordered Patrolman Tom Connolly to take Ralph to jail until a motion for a change of venue in the vagrancy case is considered at 5 p. m. today. In the meantime, he directed the younger Capone, whose name is second on the list of “public enemies,” to undergo all the routine of “a common criminal.” “Tell Commissioner of Police John Alcock,” Lyle instructed Connolly, “to question this man on anything he deems advisable and ask him where his brother A1 is.”

“There will be no pie bought here for I have things for supper,” were her words. n m n "T WOULD have bought that pie x then If the roof had fallen in,” Larsen told the Judge. “When Carl, my boy, brought the pie home my wife cussed me out and I picked the lady up and set her on the front porch. Judge, I’ve worked hard on the railroad for thirty-four years and I expect my supper to be ready when I come home.

Mrs. T. P. Pumplirey, Gold Star mother; and (left) at the grave of her son in the Oise-Aisne cemetery in France.

BY ARCH STEINEL Mrs. T. P. Pumphrey, 3345 Graceland avenue, is at heme following her pilgrimage to France to the grave of her son. Oliver Edwin Pumphrey. Mrs. Pumphrey’s son was killed by high explosives at Chateau Thiery July 30. 1918. THAT’S the way the society notes would tell of this; and telling, would neglect Mrs. Pumphrey sitting beside her radio today listening to music without a martial swing. The notes would neglect the peach pie in the cupboard. Pie her son liked so well. They would neglect an Unknown Mother who seems to sit beside Mrs. Pumphrey, to be a part of her, who listens, too. at radio music on some tree-lined avenue “somewhere in America.” and looks at a picture of her only boy in a Lord Fauntleroy collar as Mrs. Pumphrey does.

Roses line Mrs. Pumphrey’s siting room; and as she tells of her visit to her boy’s grave, the roses seem to change to dahlias, for it was a wreath of dahlias she put. on her son’s grave and on another grave, too. • Sea Like Mill Pond "The sea was like a mill pond when we went over on the Republic. Evrything was green in France. It was beautiful. The government gave us wreaths to put on our boys’ graves. I’m not much to take on, but the beauty of that cemetery, the marble headstones . The grave next to my son’s was that of an Unknown Soldier. I put a few flowers on it,” she said slowly. The sitting room seemed as if someone else was there. Maybe another mother. The vase of roses were a wreath ot dahlies nov “I’ve been so busy since we ame back Saturday. The first thing I did was cook my husband a good meal. He likes peach pie. All men like pie, don’t they? My son did. He and his father were such buddies. Mr. Pumphrey had these roses for me. Fathers May Go They say they'll send the fathers next. “The battlefields had so m >ny growing things that they hardly looked like battlefields.” Mrs. Pumphrey bade us “good-by." The dahlias, no, they were roses in the wase, bade us “good-by.” And someone else, someone who > glad Mrs. Pumphrey went and who sits “somewhere in America” worshiping at the shrine of all Unknown Soldiers, bade us “good-by” too.

Lyle informed Attorney Miles Devine Capone's SIO,OOO bond was unacceptable, even though it was in SIOO bills. The bond was posted bytwo Capone henchmen before his surrender Wednesday, and when he appeared, he was freed immediately. “This bond has not been signed by a judge.” said Lyle. “It is no good.” Attorney Devine protested that the swanky Capone, to whom the firm reception obviously was a surprise, was entitled to “courtesy.” “Your honor, can’t this man sit in a back room while we check up on this bond?” “Show courtesy to a Capone?” retorted Lyle. “A man who is head of a band of criminals? Whose brother is supposed to be the chief? No, sir, he gets no courtesy from me. "Officer Connolly, treat him like any other criminal. Take him away.”

“The wiif has some rights.” Judge Wetter reflected, “but she should, as a rule, have supper ready. How long since you took your wife to a show?” “Oh, three or four years.” Larsen answered. ’,‘Then life must be a drudgery for her,” Wetter interjected. “And that boy of yours there—he's just ‘a rose between two thorns.’ ’’ Mrs. Larsen ventured to interrupt but was silenced with; “Keep quiet lady; you’re no saint.” “You’re right judge!” she nodded.
