MGLAl]N CASE
MAY Be DELAYED
TnLLATER DATE
Third Alleged Wife MUIR
derer Not To Be Tried
Until May, Is Belief

Lander NJ. McGlaum. the third al
legged wife murdered whose trial was
set for the past week probably will
not be tried until some time in May,
Forney W. Brandon, clerk Of criminal
court, said Saturday. He was to have
been tried last Friday, but it was neees-
sary to pass the case to be reset, be-
cause of the trials of Charles Ratliff
and Joe Cushman, also alleged wife
murderers. 80
Solicitor Jim Davis said Saturday he
hoped to have an earlier date set, but
court officials pointed out that this
could not be- done without the consent
of the defendant. The law provides
that capital cases may be tried only
during capital week, except when the
defendant valves special venire. There
will be no capital week in April, and
the docket has already been arranged.
McGlaum is charged with killing his
wife just two days before Christmas
when he returned home in a drunken
frenzy. Like Cushman, who was SEN
fenced to life imprisonment Friday
night he win enter a plea of not guilty
BY reason of insanity, due to bad
whisky. His attorneys are Palmer Bell
and Thomas Roe

reconnoisances for execution of a great operation which is planned"
 Information from other sources re- ceived here from Brazil early today in dicated that the rebels are getting the upper hand in the fighting around Sac Paulo. It is stated that the Federal government has proposed to initiate de cisive operations" but "the military chiefs do not entertain hopes of defini- tive results"
 Fear Extended Warfare
 Unless political compromise is reached, the Brazilian warfare, which has now been waged for nearly two weeks between the Sac PaulO revolu- tionists and the federal troops, prom ises to be long drawn out. This is in- dicated by information getting past the censor which is corroborated by statements from various voyagers ar irving recently from Rio Janefro, San tos and even Sac Paulo.
 Tt is pointed out that the rebels have at their command the resources of the wealthiest city in the country, where large manufactures are centered, includ- ing arms and munition factories, which are now reported working day and

night. The de facto government in pow. CT is said to have the support of prac- tically the entire population of more than O,000, and to be functioniIig in an orderly manner.
 While the insurrection seems to have begun as military revolt, emphasis is placed on. the prevalence of sectionist sentiment in Sac Paulo, where the ob- jection is often voiced that the city and state are paying more than fifty per cent of the national taxation which pro- vides funds for the federal government. It is declared that this district does not receive proportional benefit.
 So far as is known, however, the rebels, in establishing provisional gov ernment, have not advanced the separa- ton idea, confining their demands to the. resignation of President Bernardes and the pardoning of military men in- volved in the 1922 revolt. Certain re- forms are also asked.
 Most of the information. thus far available seems to indicate that the federal bombardment of. Sac Paulo aroused local patriotism and united the population in support of the provisional government and defense of the city.
