Some OF the most influential men In
Brazil are the product of this merged
nationality. Or. Lauro Muller, the pres
ent Minister OF Foreign Affairs, and a
prospective President, Is the son OF a
civil engineer from Westphalia, who was
one Of the original colonists. DR.. Muller

affairs since his youth.
HIS political strength originally came
from his own section " the country
but It was not wholly due to his Ger
man surround ings He visited the
United States in the summer OF 1913 to
repay the visit OF Secretary Root and

Brazil in the Panama-PaclhcE Exposition.

few reservists have left Brazil to join

accounted for in Brazil was 5000

but the proportion which Is with the
southern section Is not large. The rea-
son Is that the people of that section
do not raise much for export and are
not heavy buyers OF foreign commod-

State Of Brazil, but its fruits and vege-
tables and other products find Their
markets in the neighboring States.
Germany handles a large part of the
brazilian coffee crop, and the Ham

BRAKEMAN KILLED
UNDER HIS TRAIN
NEAR VERGENNES
J. Il. Carroll of Rutland. &c
Years Old, Is Supposed to
Have Fallen from Roof
of a Car.

Ncrgennes. May 3.-John Richard Car
instantly killed early this morning. his
body, the trunk severed crosswise. being
piciSd up, one mile north OF this city,
or the track of the Rutland railroad.
The only suppositlon is that the young
man. a brakeman on freight number q,
through train nortnpound Saturday
night FELL from the roof OF car as the
tr;dn was moving and he was walking"
the chain of about 90 cars. He evidently
fell forward IN front of some Of the cars.
1t is also practically certain that ex-
press train number 81 also passed over
the body on its way south from Burllng-
ton. before the fatality was discovered.
No member of the freight's crew saw
the youn5 brakeman fall and the train
had reached Charlotte before his absence
was noted.
Carroll, who had oeen employed by the
Rutland railroad for three years, was
one OF crew which included r. j. Row
land, engineer. and *. W. Adams, con-
ductor. When the train left NerGcnnes
Carroll was on the roof of a rear car,
and signalled the engineer to 20 ahead,
after the switch was thrown. No one hap
pcncd to be near him and his lantern
signal was his last living action of which
his mates knew. At Charlotte the freight
was run into siding to let train num-
Der 81 pass by. Carroll was not on hand
to throw the switch. and the fireman did
it, then instituted search for the mis-
sing man, Blood on the wheels told the
story.
