Wounded Reported Brought
to Sac Paulo.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, August s.-The
Santos correspondent of La Nacion
says it is reported that the Brazilian
federal forces pursuing the Sac Paulo
rebels have suffered heavy losses, and
it is asserted that two trafnloads OF
wounded have arrived at Sac Paulo
City.
/. An earlier dispatch from the CORE
spondent said that after capturing
Botucatu, a federal column proceeded
in the direction of Itarare. near the
border of Parana state, again coming
in contact with the rebels Other rebel
forces were said to have taken up
positions near Botucatu.
Fighting on Long Line.
Fighting has been in progress be-
tween federal forces and the rebels at
different points along struggling
line extending from Sac Paulo to
about 800 miles west of that city, ac-
cording to official advices received
here.

appears to have come to the decision
that Washington's efforts to control
traffic are misdirected.
Impressed by the absence in New
York Of center markers at street
crossings, semaphores and arm-wav-
ing cops that form the bane of Wash
ington's motoring public, Capt. Nc
Morris says he is going to recommend
that as few distractions as possible
be placed in the way of moving
traffic in the parks of the District
Furthermore, the Federal traffic
cnie1 Is or the opinion that all park
ing in Washington's downtown finan-
cial and shopping district should be
abolished. and that motorists should
be allowed to park without any re-
strictions whatever outside this dis
trict.
He will recommend, in accordance
with this conviction. that all undue
interference with automobiles parked
in the evening on such lighted thor
oughfares as the Speedway be elimi-
mated.
Capt McMorris praised highly the
manner in which Manhattan police
manage traffic. He finds it difficult
to understand. he says, why Wash

population and less congested condi-
tions. cannot expedite movement of
its street traffic.

A romance of two years standing
between a widow of 80 and a hand
some young organist just turned %
was brought to light today through
the filing of a suit in Raleigh. n. c.,
by the woman's daughter Mrs. w. w.
Wayland of 733 Quebec place, this
city, asking that a guardian be ap-
pointed to handle her. mothers small
fortune OF $4,000.
The-eIderIy woman is Mrs. John j.
Fray, who makes her home with her
daughter at the Quebec place address.
and the young fiance is Jack Griffith,
formerly organist at the York The
ater. on Georgia avenue. half a block
from the Wayland home. Suit was
brought in Raleigh because Mrs. Fray
formerly made her home there and
keeps her securities in a bank in that
city.
News of the suit came to Washing
ton through the Associated Press, and
Mrs. Fray knew nothing about it
until informed by newspaper man.
The court in Raleigh granted Mrs.
Wayland a temporary injunction. pre-
venting her mother from disposing of
any of the securities in the bank
there simultaneously steps have
been taken to have a guardian ap-
pointed.
Sees Move to Get Money.
The complaint filed alleges ac-
cording to The Associated Press dis
patch, that Mrs. Fray is a widow,
80 years old, and that she has become
enamored of a 2s-year-old musician,
and that he, while protesting to love
her, is endeavoring to obtain her
money. The order secured is return
able on August 26 at Louisburg,
N. c."
Mrs. Fray reluctantly supplied the
name of her young finance and ad-
mitted that they would have been
married "long ago" had it not been
that her daughter is in poor health
and needed her help at home. She
said she was introduced to Griffith
at the York Theater and used to visit
the place frequently to hear the
youthful musician play.
Although Griffith has since gone to
Norfolk, Va, where he is now an
organist in a popular moving picture
house, he makes frequent trips to
Washington to see her, Mrs. Fray
said. The. elderly widow denied that
he has ever tried to get control OF
her money and said she would fight
to prevent any one else from assum-
ing dictatorship over her money.
Employees at the York Theater de-
scribed Jack Griffith as tall, immacu-
lately clothed in suits of the latest
cut, and said he could "just make the
house sob with his music"
