By United, Press SAO PAULO, Brazil, April 29. The Brazilian government crushed a military revolutionary outbreak within a few hours yesterday, and re-established complete calm today in the Sao Paulo region. The uprising against the regime of President Dr. Getulio Vargas, established at Rio De Janeiro bylast November’s revolution, was started by the military and police regiments stationed in Sao Paulo, which was the “back bone’’ of the government of former President Washington Luis, and provided the most bitter opposition to the November revolutionary movement. Leaders of the regiments incited their men to revolt, but loyal troops commanded by General Miguel D'Acosta, the outstanding military hero of the November revolution, quickly surrounded the insurgents and forced them to surrender.

i 15 CHAPTER ONE listen carefully and get this straight. When he comes through the gate, leap, all of you, and leap like you meant it—leap like it was a Leap for Life. Do you understand? And don’t you dare make a sound.” “Yes’m. Sure. You bet. Anything you say,” came in a chorus of dramatically lowered voices. “Pigmy, will you stop that sniffling?” “I can’t help it, Miss Beryl,” came plaintively to Beryl’s ears from the dark of the rose trellis, “the doctor says I’ve got tinny trickgffen.’ A medley of groans. “Another big word! Where does he get them?” “His mother lectures before literary clubs.” “Aw, I know,” spoke up a boy in disgust. “That’s athletic foot. He got it out of a magazine. My dad showed it to me.” “What, the foot?' “Shut up, you kids,” Beryl ordered. “Here he comes. Get ready.” All was quiet instantly, while several pairs of bright eyes peered excitedly through the rose vines.

Across the porch, down two 3teps in a stride, and along the walk straight to the trellis at the gate, came a young man who appeared to be in a hurry. He was carrying’ a gladstone bag and his hat was pulled down over his eyes —for no reason at all except that he thought it was proper for the occasion. When he was quite close, Beryl whispered tensely: "Now r.ien—ready. Go!” Just what hit him certainly puz- | zled Tommy Wilson for the next ten minutes. He thought of gangsters, iof course, but who in the world would want to take him for a ride? And he wasn’t sure even that his captors were human. There wasn’t a sound, at first. Then the gaspy breathing of physical exertion told him that at least he wasn’t at the mercy of disembodied spirits. At one point in the tussle his mind turned to natural history. He thought of an octopus that he had seen in an aquarium. All those legs —or whatever they were called—this was just like getting mixed up with one of those fellows. Down in the tropics they had giant spiders—but spiders didn’t use automobiles. He was dumped in unceremoniously, and the thousands of crea- | tures swarmed in upon him. a tt tt SAY, didn’t he know that motor? He tried to sit up, but was pulled right down again and thoroughly sat on. There was nothing to do but try to remember all the things he’d heard that clever people did in like circumstances. Keep cool—that was first—and count the turns—right—left—aw, thunder—he didn’t even know which way they’d dragged him before they reached the car. That was no good, but he’d try a ruse. He relaxed, hoping to betray his assailants into a lack of viligance, and then surprise them with a dar-

ing break for liberty. But ere he could put his plan into effect a cool voice, coming from the driver’s seat, said commandingly: “Easy, does it, i men.” Tommy started. “Beryl Borden!” he tried to say, but the words were effectually smothered by the zealous followers of an intrepid leader. Beryl heard the sound he made. “Let him speak,” she ordered. “For Pete’s sake, what’s got me?” he implored when his head was freed. “Only the gang,” Beryl told him with admirable nonchalance. “Sturdy little rascals, arent’ they?” “Sturdy, he They’ve nearly killed me,” Tommy complained. “Well, never mind. It’s nothing to what they've spared you. You owe them a vote of thanks, Tommy.” “I don’t get you.” he answered sulkily, but he had an idea what she meant. “Irene told me,” she said simply. “Oh, she did? And this is the way you treat her confidence. A nice sisterly act. You must be proud of it. But what’s the big idea, anyway?” “Nothing, except that you’re not going to elope with Irene tonight.” “Says you!” “Says me and these kids. And you’re a nice one to talk about sisterly acts. How about a nephew’s ! duty to an aunt? Mrs. Hoffman l certainly would be pleased with your

By United Press NICE, France, April 29.—Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, New York society leader, died today at the home of her daughter, Lady Ward, at Saint Jean, Cap Ferrat. It was announced that the body would be taken to New York for burial. Mrs. Reid's son-in-law and daughter, Sir John and Lady Jean Ward, were at the bedside. Death was peaceful. Mrs. Reid, the former Elizabeth Mills, was the daughter of the late Darius Ogden Mills, who left home at an early age and made a fortune in the California gold rush of 1849. Elizabeth married Whitelaw Reid, a newspaperman. Reid advanced to ownership of the Tribune and later was awarded the highest diplomatic post of ti e United States as ambassador to Great Britain.

NATURAL GAS PLAN STUDIED BY CITYGROUP Mayor's Board to Consider Proposition Made by Kentucky Concern. FIRST MEETING FRIDAY Company Cites Financial Savings Possible to Industries. Formulation of a program in regard to study of natural gas propositions is planned at the first meeting of Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan's special committee at 3 Friday in the mayor’s office. The committee composed of city and Citizens Gas Company representatives, was named following petition of the Kentucky Natural Gas Company asking permission to lay mains in the city to serve more than twenty local industrial firms with which it holds contracts for supplying natural gas wholesale. Wants Hearing at Once The company has filed a request with the committee for an immediate hearing. Companies contracting with the Kentucky company have formed the Manufacturers Natural Gas Association of Indianapolis, of which Henry C. Atkins is president. The Kentucky company has Indicated that it will suggest the possibility of selling natural gas to the Citizens Gas Company wholesale to be mixed with artificial gas and dispensed through the company’s mains to local domestic consumers. The Kentucky company, it has been stressed, has no intention of entering the retail field. Saving Is Cited In a letter to Henry L. Dithmer, chairman of the mayor’s committee, attorneys for the company point to financial savings that could be effected by industries using natural gas, and request action by the committee at the earliest possible moment, clearing the way for negotiations directly with the works board. The company expects to complete its pipe lines to Terre Haute from Kentucky by June .1, attorneys said, and private rights of way, with a few exceptions, have been secured between Terre Haute and Indianapolis. County commissioners, who have under consideration request of the Kentucky company to lay mains in the county leading to the city, today conferred with works board members. E. Kirk McKinney, works board president, thanked commissioners for their decision to co-operate with the city in studying the natural gas situation and not to act hastily.

Ulen Made Lebanon Big Spot on Map

BY DEXTER H. TEED NEA Service Writer T EBANON, Ind., April 29.—“1f I should die tomorrow who would be my pallbearers?” Henry C. Ulen, internationallyknown contractor, asked his wife that question. They sat in a luxurious suite in a New York hotel at the time. .They had everything money could buy. But their thoughts were not there. Although neither spoke each knew that the other was visualizing a little town out in Indiana where the sun goes down over cornfields and in the gloaming locusts sing in the sycamore trees. Friends were there, and peace and quiet. That was Lebanon, 'in which both were bom. Ulen answered his own question, answered it quickly because he is a man who makes decisions quickly. “If I should die tomorrow,” he said, “my business associates would be pallbearers. None of the boys we knew as children would be here.” That influenced the decision he then made. He sized up the sit; uation rapidly. It was characteristic of him. During the last thirty years his company has constructed railroads, dams and public works all over the world, valued at $1,000,000,000. And often he has been called upon to determine quickly the expenditure of millions. “We’re going back,” he said decisively. “And when I say ‘we’ I mean everything, our offices, our engineers and their families and you and I." Ulen accomplished what for men with less energy and training would have been impossible. He achieved something highly significant in an age when the movement is from country to city by moving en masse the headquarters of a gigantic corporation back to the town of his birth. tt n tt THE roar and rush of New York was replaced by the easy-going quiet of central Indiana. The raucous shouts of newsboys died to the hum of bees. The rattle and clatter of traffic was left beliind. “Hank” Ulen, who as a youngster was the town “bad boy,” has proved that big business can operate in a small town, and he has started other business men wondering if, after all, it is necessary to work in towering office buildings in hearts of cities to succeed. After he left for Chicago $1,200 in debt with only $125 in cash, Ulen came back to Lebanon at intervals. It was home. Now it's home forever. He has built an addition on the house in which he lived. In it are modem offices!where his men work. Wires connect it with New York and Chicago. Cables are

railroad and former Republican national committeeman from Pennsylvania, who said that, high tariffs were walls which all nations were building against one another and which were the greatest obstacles to commercial recovery. “The Hawley-Smoot tariff has been a tremendous handicap to business.” Gorrell said with emphasis. “It has invited retaliation, which already has taken place on the part of a great number of important foreign markets. Tt has caused many foreign countries to put into effect high tariff rates, discriminatory against American manufacturers, to the benefit of other foreign countries, especially England,” the Indianapolis motor car manufacturer continued. “It has caused even Canada to operate discriminatorily against American manufacturers and put into effect discriminatory tariff rates. This has caused American manufacturers to open plants in Canada and to employ Canadian labor instead of American workers. “The Hawley-Smoot tariff has deprived American manufacturers of that profit necessary to produce better factory and business conditions. The tariff bill must be modified before American business conditions can hope to return to normal.”

received from distant lands everyday. Out in the eastern edge of the town he built a subdivision with boulevards, fine English-type homes. He put in sewerage systems, electric lights, started a nursery to grow shrubbery, built an eighteen-hole golf course and splendid clubhouse and all accessories. The development was started less than three years ago. More than $ LOCO,OOO has been expended. Now on the very cornfields and “hog wallows” where “that Ulen boy” played pranks on unsuspecting farmers the village of Ulen stands. It is incorporated, has a village board and all other officials. It is doubtful if there is a finer village in America. 8 8 tt LEBANON, a city of 7,000 population, “has perked up” since “Hank” Ulen came back. Business is better. The effects of the depression haven’t been felt much. It supports a daily paper—the Lebanon Reporter. The stores are large and flourishing. Business men play golf afternoons. The “bad boy” has turned out to be the finest influence to affect Lebanon in all its history. But Ulen wasn’t really bad anyway. He was just bubbling over with unharnessed energy which found outlet in surprising ways. He and his teacher disagreed when he was in the fifth grade. Out the school house door little “Hank” ran—and didn’t come back. 8 a a T TNTTL he was 18 years old he lived where he desired. He rode freights all* over the country. He made a living by washing dishes, selling papers or at manual labor. Sometimes he would come home, but the wanderlust bug always bit him again and away he dashed for another trip. At 19 he decided to settle down. He acted as correspondent for a paper, worked in a railroad station and studied law. Eventually he was admitted to the bar, his experience then leading to connections with contractors. Soon he decided to start his own firm. Now associated with such national figures as Marshall Field, G. PI. Balch and T. S. Shepperd, he is head of one of the largest contracting firms in the world.

Suit seeking damages aggregating $50,000 is on file in circuit court today against George Deer, former employe of William C. Smith of the Indiana Film Transit Company, the Yorkshire Insurance Company, and the Film Truck Sendee. The complaint, filed by Smith, alleges the defendants are circulating damaging rumors in connection with an accident of one of Smith’s trucks, Feb. 1, for the “purpose of ruining the company.” It is alleged that Deer was driving a truck of the film transit company near Waverly, on road 37, and it was wrecked and burned, the fire destroying films which were in transit to theaters in Indiana. Smith charges that rumors that he had conspired to have the accident occur, have been circulated. Smith is represented in the case by Fred Barrett and L. Russell Newgent, attorneys.

LEGION TO PUSH ‘PATRIOT' PROBE Denial Made That De Pauw Quiz Is Dropped. . Despite refusal of the Indiana department of the American Legion to participate in the proposed probe of patriotic purity at De Pauw university, the Seventh district legion committee will carry on according to its original plan, it appeared today. Mark E. Hamer, chairman of the investigation committee, refused to comment on the matter. But State Senator Joe Rand Beckett (Rep., Indianapolis), one of the committeemen, declared he saw no reason to withdraw. Date and place of the first committee meeting was not announced. The probe plan was brought about by a speech by William P. Evans, Insull attorney and De Pauw alumnus, who charged that “sex, sovietism and Socialism” is being overemphasized in lectures at the Greencastle school under presidency of Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam. The committee was appointed by Dr. Frank E. Long, Seventh district legion commander. Protest against such action was launched by Robert Hoffman, Greencastle, Fifth district legion commander, and the Greencastle American Legion post. Floyd L. Young. Indiana department commander, was appealed to in the case. He announced Tuesday that his department is “taking no part in the present controversy.” RENEW PLOT CHARGES Zeppelin Mechanic, Freed Tuesday, Faces Second Prosecution.

SUICIDE OF KIN HELD KEY TO GIRL’S MURDER Suitor Ends Life as Police Track Clews in Thicket Slaying. ‘INNOCENT/ SAYS NOTE Called for Questioning on Reported Meeting With Victim. By United rress HAMDEN. Conn.. April 29.—William Wetmore, a 25-year-old suitor —and kinsman by marriage—of the slain Emily Kirk, committed suicide with a shotgun and poison today as authorities planned again to question him regarding the girl's death. After his body had been found in the underbrush behind the farmhouse in which he lived with his parents, authorities said they believed his death solved the slaying of the attractive girl, whose body was found after a village social at the fire house Saturday night. Emily, attractive daughter of a well-to-do family which dates back to the founding of the colonial community, was killed Saturday after she hurried gayly from the hall, where she had waited on table at a fire house social, to change her clothing for the later dancing. Body Found in Thicket Her body subsequently was found in a thicket 1.000 feet behind the fire house. She had been slugged with a bottle, assaulted, shot four times with a small bore pistol and her head crushed with a fifty-pound rock. Wetmore. the cousin of Miss Kirk’s brother-in-law, Clement, was summoned early by authorities, who claimed they had learned he stood outside the fire house Saturday night, whistled for Emily, and then took her away. He was released after questioning. County detectives again visited him Tuesday. They told him to appear today for further questioning. “I will be there if I can find the way,” he replied in a seemingly jocular mood. Today just before the questioning was to begin his body was found. Wetmore left a note, which Dr. George H. Joslin, medical examiner, turned dVer to Coroner James J. Corrigan. Met Girl at Social Wetmore did not attend the social Saturday, it was said. At about 9 p. m. county detectives claimed he drove to the building in a sedan automobile and met Emily. He appeared at the Kirk home later Saturday night, detectives said. “Where is Emily?” he was asked. He said he had not seen her. While Emily’s brother Dwight led a searching party of police and townspeople through the rain-beat-en woods, Wetmore went home to bed. When he was first called for questioning he told reporters: “I don’t know anything about it; I didn’t kill her.” Brooded All Night He said he drove to downtown New Haven at about 9 p. m., and | later went to Savin Rock park. West Haven. He brooded all night last night, according to his grief-stricken parents. Mrs. Wetmore told Coroner Cor- ! rigan her son told her last night that he and Emily had an agreement to die together. “Everybody is accusing me of ! this thing and I'm going to die in- ' nocent,” William was reported by | his mother to have said. “Emily and I had an agreement | that if anything happened to her : I'd kill myself.” When a telephone call to the | New Haven county building noti--1 fled county detectives, of Wetmore’s j suicide they jumped up. saying: “That’s the end. That finishes it.’* Police said, however, they would j continue their search for one or ; more accessories.
