Oct. 10. (Correspondence Tlio As sociated Press). An Amorlcnn visit ing small towns In Brazil can easily gratify his dcslro for homo sccnory. Whatever tho place, largo or small, ho is suro to find on tho main street at least one moving picturo thentor and novor falls to boo an American production In fact, seldom uny'itinf, elso. Tho Associated I'ress correspond ent had occasion to mnke n trip on a Brazilian coustwlso steamor which mndo stops at tho ports ot Parnna gua, San Francisco do Sul, Florlan opolis and Rio Qrando, tho lattor be ing tho largest, with about 14,000 inhabitants. In these typical towns, ns in the smaller communities of tho United States, tho moving picturo seems to bo the chief source of tho evening entortainment. Adorning tho foyers of tho thea ters nro always to bo soon posters and photographs of woll-known American moving picture stars, sent from tho United States with tho film and with tho captions still In Eng lish. These aro usually supple mented, however, by a brilliant pos ter dono In hand by a local artist, with Portuguese toxt, emphasizing tho thrilling features of the production. Tho North Amorlcan visitor may discover that ho has seen tho film at homo two or three years ago, but evon so, he will And something new In the manner In which jn film Is presented In Brazil. Here, Insmd of a continuous picture, the film ( cut at critical junctures of the plot and there follows a flash on the screen of dos mlnutos do Inter tallo." The lights go up and thus for an interval of two minutes the audience is held, in suspense wondering what will happen, next. , ' Always the theatres are nuoa to capacity and the Brazilians discuss tho merits of American actors' and actresses of the ictoen a familiarly as any mqrn picturo eatnusiast in tho United States. The comedians aro intensely, popular and (hero is one. distinguished for being extra ordinarily fat, to whom the- BrazU- ians have given tne name or -unico-Bola," meaning "Llttlo Bull," The advent of a film showing "Chioc-Bola" combined with that of a Spanish ventriloquist was made the occasion of a gala night at the moving picture theater In the little town of Paranegua. Much of tho family washing in Japan is done by getting into a mov ing boat and, letting tho sheets, shirts, to., trail astern on a' long ropov Stricken suddenly 04 ho appar ently was nngugod In writing nt tho public desk in tho lobby of tho post office last ovenlng, shortly after 7 o'clock, L. K. Wllllts, banker, capi talist and former county JudttO, sank to tho floor nnd oxplrcd bofortj help could roach him. Tho suddenness of his passing cust a gloom ovor tho ontlro community In which, ho has necn an active leador In business and social affairs for more than 25 years. Tho postofllco lobby and corridor ns empty, nut a passerby on tho sidewalk saw Judgo Wllllts fall and rushed In. Ono of tho employes In tho poatofflco heard tho fall and also enmo quickly. A crowd collected nnd medical aid was summoned. Whllo waiting for tho arrival of tho physician, Or. A. A. Soulo, men among the crewel tried by artificial respiratory measures to revlvo the victim, but without avail. When the doctor arrived ho found tho heart movemont absolutely checked and believes that death was instantane ous, probably caused from a lesion of tho heart. Tho Impress of the dead man's life upon the community In thought and action Is too deep to bo reckoned In 11 brief sketch. Since his arrival In Klamath Falls 23 years ago he has boon one of tho foremost build ers of the community. h. F. Wllllts was born in Cedar Haplds, Iowa, Fobruary 27, 1850. Ho was educated In Cornell college and camo to Oregon In 1876. In tho latter part of 1878 ho was mar ried at Ashland to Miss Alice Af ford, tho widow who survives him Their married llfo was congenial and pleasant. No children were over born to bless tho union and tho removal in such unexpected fashion ot hor lifelong companion and stay has left the survivor dazed and nearly prostrated under tho force of tho blow. In 1892 Mr. and Mrs. Wllllts moved to Klamath county, whoro tho former was sub-agent of the fed oral Indian service at the Yninax agency. His duties included the su pervision of tho government school ut Yatnax, in which Both ho and his wife taught. In 189C they moved to this city, where Mr. Wllllts established a gen eral mercantile business on tho spot whoro tho Willlts building now stands. Within a few years he was oloctcd county Judgo, holding the of fice four years. Stop by step he mounted in tho business life of the community and, although retired from active business pursuits tor several years, to the last, as vice president of the First National bank, owner ot a number of pieces ot country realty and the Willlts building in this city, he was engaged in the management of largo finan cial affairs. Ho was a member ot the Masonic fraternity and had taken numerous degrees and held all the chairs in the local lodge ot the order and was identified with the several branches of, the Masonic work and with the women's organization, the Order of tho Eastern Star. Only yesterday the decedent at tended the funefal services of bis old friend, Mrs. O. C. Applegate, paying a last tribute of respect to her memory. There was apparently little thought onKibe part ot anyone who knew him that be was so soon to Join her. Although Jhe had spot en to intimate friends1, ot pains in his chest that' troubled him, he ap peared as usual on the street, and acquaintances saw no indications of physical ailment. , Judge Willlts is survived by four brothers and a sister: Perry, ot Alledo, Iowa; William, ot Persist, Jackson county, Oregon; J. Q., Cot tage Grove, and B, R ot Portland, Ore. The sister, Mrs, J. H. Van Tender, Uvea in the east. Mrs. Will Norrls of Bly and Mrs. Frank Ira White ot Portland are nieces. The brother's from the northern part of the state have been 'sum moned and funeral arrangements will be made on their arrival, .' LH 00 SPECIAL ELECTION VOTES INCREASE WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 8. Characterizing all strikes as "Indus trial barbarism" and delclarlng that "thcro Is no placo In this country or Industrial or labor d.espQtlfjm.," lha floHalB ednilliUlcO, which Investi gated tho steel strike, today pre sented its report. Tho committee's main conclusion Is expressed in tho statement that "tho public has a right to demand that capital shall not abrogate io itself the right to determine in Its own way these industrial questions, and tho samo as to labor, and the duty la upon Congress to provide somo way at adjusting the dlfflcul ties as a permanent preventative of strikes," which the committee con ceded "are apparently tho only way for labor to securo even its just de mands if tho employers rofuso to grant them." It is recommended that Congress authorize the establishment of some such medium agency with well-defined powers, such as were possessed by tho recently-dissolved war labor board. Tho special election to Increase tho school budget for the coming year, hold yesterday afternoon at the Cen tral school, resulted in the proposed Increase carrying by unanlmpus. vote. There was a light voto cn,st, Esti mated expenditures for tho coming year are $48,000, of which $23,000 must bo raised by special tax.
