BELLO HORIZONTE, State of
Minas Geraes, Brazil. Nov. 11
Arthur Bernardes, president-elect
of Brazil, has secluded himself
behind a strong military and secret
service guard on a fruit plantation
in this, his home state, and near
this city. He is refusing to see
anyone except politicians concerned
;in tho organization of. his new
government.
. With only one -week remaining
Until the- date set for his inaugura
tion his closest advisers are giving
out conflicting and misleading in
formation regarding-his departure
for Eio de Janeiro, while the state
military authorities are distributing
.trusted troops along the railroad
'preparing to protect him on his way
to the national capital.
; Meanwhile the rumor spreads
over Rio de Janeiro that Senor
Bernardes will be smuggled into the
:capital two or three days before
the inauguration because of threats
jtliat he will not be allowed to reach
'Bio at all.
Statement Is Sought.
; ; Because of these rumors and
conflicting reports concerning Senor
Bernardes' whereabouts, the corres
pondent set out to find the president-elect
and try to get a state
ment from him regarding his pro
gramme for the government, espe
cially with regard to foreigners
since it is reported that he is
opposed to foreigners continuing
their strong position in Brazil.
' Nine miles from Bello Horizonte,
the capital of the state of Minas
Geraes, the correspondent found the
plantation where Senor Bernardes
.was staying. He got as far as the
military cordon surrounding the
president-elect, but Senor Bernardes
refused to see the correspondent or
:to reply to a telegram offering the
columns of American newspapers
for an exposition of his views.
Silence Is Maintained.
Senor Bernardes, maintaining his
silence, recently refused to receive
;'the special ambassador whom France
-sent to the centennial, although the
ambassador came all the way to
;Fello Horizonte for a conference.
AH the indications are that the
.rumors and threats are groundless.
The secrecy and precaution with
which Senor Bernardes is surround
ing himself furnish an interesting
sidelight on his attitude towards
"the strong opposition facing his
'Inauguration.
.- Bello Horizonte, which is 16 hours
.by train from the federal capital,
;is the center of the Bernardes
opposition. The plantation is a
; small fruit estate belonging to the
state. The house in which Senor
.Bern:(rdes is living is guarded
Thight and day by 30 soldiers of the
state military forces.
. At no time since the establish
ment of the republic has the polit-
ical situation been so tense, or so
Uncertain as at the present time.
At no time since the republic was
founded has the outside world been
tas interested in Brazil as at present
.and yet the government is maln-
taining the strictest censorship
!tver international cables and is
; trying to prevent any indication of
the situation from getting outside.
Country I'nder Martial Law.
The entire country has been
I under martial law since the middle
; of July and it is admitted that this
; is the only reason that there has
not been any serious trouble since
;the suppression of the -three days'
'revolution, July 5, 6 and 7. The
"censorship attending the martial
. law securely strangles the Brazil
ian newspapers. The managing
.editors of three Brazilian news
' papers have been in jail without
trial since July because they criti
cised the government
: No word indicative of the internal
situation is published in Brazil, but
. the wildest rumors of revolution
' and assassination are becoming
more numerous daily with the ap
. proach of November 15, the date' set
I lor the inauguration of Senor
Bernardes.
Although opinion is practically
I unanimous among the foreign in
terests established here that Senor
Bernardes would probably make a
Rood president and attempt to im
; prove Brazil's present unenviable
I financial situation, rumors are
whispered by scores that he will
; never be allowed" to assume the
presidency, that he will be assassi
p&ted on his way to Rio de Janeiro
Ifrom the interior, that the train
.carrying him will be wrecked, and
r Stat if he arrives and is inaug
i Tirated there will be a real revolu
" tion.
; ; Country Split by Jealousy.
Yet even if Senor Bernardes'
."Ipolitical enemies advance no irnod
4 reason why he should not be made
; president, they generally admit that
. She has made a good president in
;the state of Minas Geraes and they
, admit that he was fairly elected. -:
1 A careful investigation of the
; situation shows that the opposition
, when well sifted down gets down
',to the fact that Senor Bernardes is
not a machine politician and does
-iiot belong to the professional polit
ical cliques of the capital. He won
his election only because he re
ceived an overwhelming majority
Jjn two states, Sao Paulo and Minas
;eraes, which gave him a slender
! majority over his opponent's heavy
majority outside these two states.
Jealousy of Sao Paulo and Minas
!t3eraes on the part of the rest of the
; country appears to be the principal
-ause for the present unrest. This
J Jealousy would be certain to make
tienor Bernardes' administration a
iiiifficult one at least in the be
ginning. J J Brazil has a territory larger than
the United States and a population
equal to that of all the rest of
South America. The scarcity of
. transportation and communication
has prevented the cementing of this
vast territory into a strong federal
union or the creation of a strong
national sentiment.
Selections Intensely Disliked.
Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes,
which produce probably 85 per cent
of the nation's revenue, are in
tensely disliked by the rest of the
country on the ground that they
monopolize 100 per cent of the pork
barrel improvements. Therefore,
the fact that these two states gave
Senor Bernardes a majority suffi
cient to win him the nation's presi
dency against the heavy vote of his
opponent outside these two states
causes the rest of the country, es
pecially the professional politicians,
to oppose him.
Senor Bernardes' appointment of
Felix Pacheco minister of foreign
relations . puts the direction of
Brazil's foreign . policy into the
hands tf a man who is one of the
most enthusiastic friends the United
States has in South America.
One of the two under secretaries
of the foreign office will be Sebas
tian Sampaio, for several years
attached to the Brazilian embassy
at Washington and latterly as a
commercial attache toured the Uni
ted States disseminating propaganda
for the international exposition.
Senor Sampaio Is probably better
known in the United States than
any other Brazilian. The appoint
ment, of these two men to the for
eign ministry are interpreted in
many quarters, including United
States official circles here, as con
stituting a complete reply to Senor
Bernardes" enemies that the in
coming president is anti-American
and is planning to curtail, foreign
activities in Brazil.

IX OKEdON RATE CASE.
Latest Action of Public Service
Commission Regarded as Vital
in Olympia Proceedings.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., Nov. 11. Public officials
throughout the state of Washington,
who have been following with inter
est the course of the telephone rate
controversy in Oregon, are finding
some points that may have im
portant influence on the prepara
tions to resist the increase in tele
phone rates proposed for this state.
Interest in Washington centers
particularly on the demand of the
Oregon public service commission, in
its order of October ' 30, for, the
abandonment of "obsolete code ring
ing facilities and equipment" and its
replacement with modern selective
ringing equipment, and for a com
plete statement of the relations be
tween the telephone companies and
the Western Electric compary.
The intimation that the telephone
company has violated the Clayton
anti-trust act in its dealings with
the Western Electric company has
raised a doubt in the m'nds of some
public officials of this state as to
whether this part of the inquiry is
within the jurisdiction of a state
commission or board. But there is
a keen desire to have the question
aired, since it seems to pertain with
equal force in both states.
Members of the Washington state
board have not commented officially
on the order of the Oregon commis
sion, but they are fully advised of
the text' of the order and of the
statement issued by the Oregon com
missioners in support of their ac
tion. In the absence of any public
comment it is not yet known wheth
er the state board of Washington
recognizes any community of inter
est in the separate controversies be
tween the telephone company and
the two states.

FOUR PLANTS TO RISE
Diversified Industries Planned
by Vancouver Corporation.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 11.
(Special.) Four manufacturing en
terprises will be built here by the
Columbia River Paper Mills, which
will construct a plant on the water
front property formerly owned by
F. W. Leadbetter.
The corporation will operate a
sawmill, paper mill, sulphite plant
and box factory.
Construction of the sawmill will
begin at once and this probably
will be in operation by the first of
the year, according to A. G. Riach,
one of the officials of the corpora
tion.
Rain Aids Gardeners.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 11
(Special.) The present rain is
proving of incalculable value to
vegetable crops of the valley, C. B.
Auker, head o the Walla Walla
Gardeners' association, declared to
day. It has saved the day for cab
bage growers, as they are now able
to start planting fall cabbage, the
season for which is very late. Rains
are also, helping onion and spinach
growers. The cool, frosty mornings
have about' finished the head let
tuce crop for the year. Express
shipments are now being sent to
Montana and other points.
Man's Relatives Sought.
ST. HELENS, Or., Nov. 11. (Spe
cial.) Coroner White is endeavor
ing to locate relatives of Thomas
Rourk, who died at the logging
camp of Porter & Carsten last Mon
day. The coroner was informed that
Rourk had a sister living in Port
land, but has been unable to locate
her. The man was about 65 years
of age and among -his effects there
was nothing to indicate his former
residence or family ties.
Sawmill Payroll $30,000.
GARIBALDI. Or., .Nov. ll.(Spe
cial) Yesterday was payday at
the Whitney company sawmill, and
over $30,000 was distributed among
the employes. There are close to
300 men employed in the mill at the
present time, but this number will
be doubled soon by the addition o
a night shift. It is the intention to
work the big sawmill to capacity,
now that there is no scarcity of logs

ington. The two acts passed by the
last legislature amendatory of the
election laws, requiring citizens to
declare their party affiliations at
the time of registration and provid-
ng for the exclusion from partv
primaries of all who didn't belong,
were overwhelmingly defeated in
the referendum vote of last Tuesday.
Party primaries will continue to be
as wide open aa they always have
been since the system was adopted.
The mobile force of independent
voters can vote wherever it pleases.
With Judge Chadwick offering
himself for nomination for governor
a contest in the democratic party
primaries would be extremely im
probable. This would leave the inde
pendent voters free to exercise their
influence wholly on the republican
nomination; and with four or five
candidates Beeking a : republican
nomination the independent vote
should determine the choice.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., Nov. 11. Democratic rejoic
ings in the defeat of Senator Poin-
dexter well may be moderated by
the frank statements of Senator-
elect Dill that he is not now and
doesn't intend to be a very ardent
democrat.
Cordell Hull, democratic national
chairman, sent word that "the peo
ple of the Pacific coast who adhere
to the democratic doctrines now will
have a spokesman in the senate."
The same day Mr. Dill sent a mes
sage direct to William Randolph
Hearst, giving thanks for aid to the
victory for "progressive principles."
Your newspaper rose above party
lines," wrote Mr. Dill, "and I desire
to express my appreciation for the
services you have rendered to my
candidacy and to the progressive
cause."
All of which does not comport very
well with the notion that Mr. Dill's
election is a victory for the demo
cratic party or that party's princi
ples, whatever they may be.- The
fact is that Mr. Dill merely used the
democratic ticket as a vehicle for
his candidacy. Throughout the cam
paign he never once referred to him
self as a democrat, never once be
trayed the slightest interest in the
democratic party, never once men
tioned either Thomas Jefferson or
Woodrow Wilson. Now that he is
elected he promptly has declared his
purpose to work in absolute inde
pendence of democratic party lines.
This attitude of the next senator
from Washington, coupled with the
re-election of the state's five repub
lican representatives in the lower
house of congress, doesn't give very
accurate definition to claims of a
democratic .party victory.
As is always the case immediately
after an election, the political ob
servers have begun to relate recent
eventsi to future possibilities.
Stephen J. Chadwick, ex-chief jus
tice of the state supreme court, long
has cherished an ambition to be gov
ernor of Washington. He is a demo
crat of the "old school." Earlier in
the year he was urged to become a
candidate for the democratic sena
torial nomination, but he doesn't
care to live in Washington, D. C.
Late in the campaign he was induced
to preside over a single mass meet
ing In behalf of Dill, thereby empha
sizing the matter of his "regularity,"
and now it is generally assumed that
he will seek the governorship in
1924. No one doubts that he can
have the democratic nomination.
In the first flush of their belief
that Dill's election was a party Vic
tory democratic leaders have been
declaring that Chadwick can be
elected governor against any candi
date that the republican party may
name. Just at this time, and antici
pating a good many party complica
tions during the next two years,
republican leaders are not very well
prepared to combat this declaration.
Judge Chadwick would be
strong candidate. His acquaintance
throughout the state equals, if it
does not exceed, that of any other
man. He is popular everywhere and
with all classes. On the republican
side the only announced candidacy
for the gubernatorial nomination is
that of Lieutenant-Governor Coyle.
But it is known that Colonel Roland
H. -Hartley of Everett always is
practically in the) running and that
Colonel George B. Lamping of Se
attle has definite plans for get
ting in.
Naturally, it is assumed that Gov-
ornor Hart will 6eek renomination
and re-election. Acting on this as-
sumption the other republican can
didates are bound to center their
fire on the Hart administration. It
seems useless, in such circumstances.
to look for any degree of harmony
among republicans during the next
two years..
It was in the midst of the recent
campaign that Lieutenant-Governor
Coyle announced his candidacy for
governor. The occasion and the
text of the announcement were
rather peculiar. It was made public
in Spokane, where the lieutenant
governor had paused while on a
speaking tour in behalf of Senator
Poindexter and the republican
ticket.
Spokane happens to be the home
city of, Charles Hebberd. chairman
of the . republican state committee,
under whose auspices and nominal
direction Captain Coyle was making
his tour. In announcing his own
purpose Captain Coyle openly voiced
an earnest wish that Mr. Hebberd
would also seek the gubernatorial
nomination. Just why, no one seems
to know. No such ambition pre
viously had been attributed to Mr.
Hebberd. He was at that time up to
his neck in work for the whole
ticket and the republican party.
Why the lieutenant-governor should
have passed over Governor Hart,
Colonel Hartley and Colonel Lamp
ing to light upon Mr. Hebberd as a
preferred adversary-in the 1924 pri
maries is one of the state'3 most
intriguing political mysteries.
The big vote cast for Colonel
tramping as a candidate for the sen
atorial nomination in the republican
primaries 01 last September was tre
mendously encouraging to his tenta
tive candidacy for governor in 1924.
Lamping's primary vote represented
a very large proportion of that ele
ment within the republican party
whicn still classes itself as "pro
gressive." It also included a large
invasion of the republican primaries
by the "independent voters, who
later went en masse to the support
or Mr. JJ111.
The privilege of "independent

INTERVIEW FASCIST!.
Italian Premier Opposes Woman
Suffrage and Prohibition
of Bone-Dry Vintage.
ROME, Nov. 11. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Premier Mussolini
has gone through the baptism of or
atorical fire from the American cor
respondents in Rome. He received
them, aired his opinions on most of
the supposedly burning problems of
the world and chatted at length upon
prohibition and woman, suffrage.
ine leader of the black-shirt
fascisti stood the ordeal of question
ing with a -patience that belied his
first and severe appearance. Many
of the inquiries, no doubt, seemed
trivial ana irrelevant to him, but he
replied with courtesy and grace.
The interview was launched upon
the topic of reparations. Mussolini
said that in his opinion it was Im
lossible to separate the question of,
reparations from that of inter-allied
debts, even where the latter affect
ed the United States.
He was very cordial in his refer
ences to the relations between Italy
and the United States, and said he
hoped to add .to the good will pre
vailing between the two countries
on economic co-operation that
would be mutually beneficial.
Of woman suffrage Mussolini said
with conviction that he was abso
lutely opposed to it. Then, seem
ing to feel that his remark had not
been properly interpreted, he add
ed that he did not think general
conditions were yet ripe for such a
franchise.
The prohibition question was
popped to him. He said he was not
in favor of complete dryness, but
thought that partly by legislation
and partly by persuasion people
must be taught to drink less.

Statement Shows Result". "
The statement, the first that has
been issued covering a complete pe
riod of operation of the state gov
ernment under the administrative
code, is a narrative of accomplish
ment between April 1. 1921. and Sep
tember 30, 1922 the period in which
estimates of the various depart
ments' of the state government for
the biennial budget to be submitted
to the legislature have been based.
ine administrative code was en
acted by, the 1921 legislature with
an emergency clause attached, so
that it became effective immediate
ly, on April 1 of that year. ,
Government Is Co-Ordinated.
It provided for the co-ordination
of all governmental functions of the
state, combining 71 functions man
aged by 205 official heads into ten
departments managed by ten heads.
These department heads are appoin
tive by the governor and are- re
sponsible to him for their acts.
"Washington was very slow in
adopting common sense business
government, and in a realization
that there was a financial lim't of
endurance even for the state In the
matter of administration costs," Mr.
McArdle's statement says.
States Investigate System.
Twenty-nine states have Investi
gated and reported on the advisabil
ity of co-ordinating administrative
functions so as to effect three es
sential requirements, viz: Greater ef
ficiency, direct responsibility, and
lower costs.
At this time more than half the
states have effected consolidation
of management of charitable, penal
and correctional institutions, many
of the educational institutions, sev
eral of agricultural agencies and
some of labor agencies. Partial code
reorganizations have been made in
New. Jersey, Indiana, California,
Michigan, Utah, Missouri and New
Mexico. One state, Massachusetts,
preceded legislation reorganization
by a constitutional amendment.
Difficult Situation Faced.
April 1, 1921, tho Washington ad
ministration was faced with a most
discouraging financial situation.
While the members were not respon
sible for the condit'on, yet they were
called upon to make a supreme ef
fort to remedy conditions. As the
former administration drew to
close it was piarniy apparent that
many methods of administrative
procedure must be stopped and
changed because the state 'had
reached the point where its revenues
would not nearly cover estimated
costs.
The general fund requirements for
1921-23, as requested by depart
mental heads to the state board of
finance, totaled $13,680,961.58. The
state board, after careful considera
tion, cut this total to $10,775,290.74,
with deficiencies estimated at $1,
200,000, or a total of $11,975,290.74.
Huge Deficit Apparent.
To meet this there was estimated
indirect revenue of $3,405,110 and
direct revenue from taxation ot
$6,363,726, or a total of $9,768,836.
The board was faced, then, with a
lack of revenue totaling $2,206,
454.74. Based on the departmental
estimates before they were reduced
by the state board of finance the
hortage of revenues totaled $3,912,-25.58.
The condition existing forced the
.calling of a special session.
The elimination of overlapping
and duplicating duties resulted in a
reduction in the state payroll of 284
persons in administrative services.
there having been in March. 1921, in
such service 1265 persons, whereas
on September 30 there were in the
same service 981 persons. The
monthly payroll in March, 1921, was
$164,430.96 and in September, 1922,
there was paid for the same service
$152,430.43, a monthly saving of $11,
663.53 or a yearly reduction of $139,
962.36. "A similar co-ordinate system of
government as in vogue by the state
is essential in the reduction of costs
in all other nyinicipal corporations,"
said the statement. "It is absolutely
necessary to have responsible co-operative
and co-ordinative effort in
any administrative cost system, to
promote efficiency and effect re
duced taxation costs. Big savings
must be made from big costs, and
small sav'ngs from small costs will
aid in swelling the total.
"State government is responsible
for one-fourth of the taxation, while
local government is responsible for
the other three-fourths. If an in
telligent, co-operative effort Is
made, costs can be reduced."

Eighteenth Amendment and Vol
stead Act Scheduled to Be
Part of State Law.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 11. (By
the Associated Press.) Further be
lated returns on prohibition enforce
ment, which yesterday's tabulations
revealed had been carried at Tues
day's election, served today to bring
the majority for the measure up to
31,966.
This majority was based on a
total of 422,088 votes for enforce
ment and 390,122 against, from 6192
precincts out of 6680.
Prohibition enforcement will be
come part of the law of California
when the official returns from the
election are canvassed and certified
by the secretary of state. This pro
cedure usually takes about a month,
so between Thanksgiving and
Christmas the new law will become
effective.
The measure provides, in brief,
that the eighteenth amendment to
the federal constitution and the Vol
stead act become part of the law
of California, which prosecuting at
torneys, sheriffs, grand juries, mag
istrates and peace officers, must en
force and :nflict the same penalties
that the national law provides.
If changes are made in the Vol
stead act, or new enforcement meas
ures are passed by congress, these
automatically become the law of
California. Cities and counties are
not prevented from passing "little
Volstead acts" of their own and
collecting fines for violation thereof.
The passage of a prohibition en
forcement measure in California, the
leading wine grape growing state in
the union, is the culmination of ten
years of attempts to pass "dry"
laws, either through the legislature
or by direct vote of the people.
Except for ratification of the
eighteenth amendment by the legis
lature, this is the first occasion

Persian Caravan
Has Unloaded
and it Has Left Many Lasting Endearing
Impressions among the Fortunate
"Caravan", Rug Purchasers.
We wish we could relate all these delightful impressions to
those who contemplate decorating their homes and offices with
Oriental Rugs, but lack of space permits us to mention only a
few of them
Upon our first announcement of
the arrival of our Persian "caravan"
a certain lady musician secured two
lovely "caravan" pieces for her" stu
dio. Her great admiration of them
induced her, a few days ago, to add
a very rich, silky small-size Beluchi
stan as a studio table cover. She
stated that these pieces seem to ex
tend to her a personal greeting and
evidence a touch of friendship and
devotion every time she enters her
studio and that her pupils seem to
notice the rich atmosphere in her
studio, which makes their work more
pleasant.
One customer for "caravan" rugs
remarked that during the last four
teen years she had changed her floor
coverings several times because she
had been using ordinary rugs and
that she received hardly anything
for them when she disposed of them.
Now she feels like a new person, for
she possesses a few properly select
ed, rich colored and durable Persian
"caravan" rugs. She realizes that
their possession insures long wear
and economy as well as endearment,
pride and satisfaction. She only re
grets that we did not approach her
years ago on Jhe rug question, for
her rooms all these years have suf
fered the lack of a real refined, rich .
atmosphere that only properly placed
Persian rugs can supply.
One lady in Eastmoreland, upon
seeing our "caravan" rugs in her
home, remarked that they are like
"rniman."
Many out-of-town people, while
traveling, bought "caravan" rugs.
One lady from Hollywood, Califor
nia, complimented our establishment
with the remark that in all her ex
perience in purchasing oriental rugs,
this was the first place where she
felt entirely satisfied with the choice
ness and completeness of the stock
as well as with the method of doing
business. Our ONE-PRICE policy
appealed to her very much because it
enables even the most inexperienced
person to get valuable rugs and pay
the same price for them that a con
noisseur would pay. Upon her re
turn to Hollywood she sent us a mail
order for an additional large Persian
carpet.
' More New Arrivals
We are still receiving rags that
have been on the road between here
and New York and Persia. Besides
the "caravan" cargo, we have un
folded scores of choice pieces that
are now on display. The moderate
prices are marked plainly and are
within reach of all. Come and see
them. (Additional shipments are on
the way.)
