BRAZIL LAND OF INTRIGUE
Revolutions Spring Up Suddenly
After Months of Plotting.

From the New York Times
Brazil is Il land of intrigue and

resident of Ceara, who is a guest at
the Hotel Pennsylvania The thirty

gauge the extent of the damage being
done.
THE overthrow of the imperial
dynasty in 1889 was likewise a to-
tally unexpected and quietly carried
out occurrence. The plot to overthrow

Pedro and his family were escorted on
board ship and sent to Portugal
Though the overthrow of the i'm
perial dynasty was totally unexpccted
throughout the rank and file of the
Brazilian population, the new regime
was accepted without question and a
provisional government set up under
the leadership of General Deodoro da
Fousea, who owed his military
success and title to the personal
friendship and assistance of Dom
Pedro.
Despite the fact that the constftu-
ton of Brazil is modelled after that
of the United States. there has always
been powerful and determined as
well as intriguing militaristic faction
that has struggled and plotted to keep
the country under its dominance.

,jEROME'S DEATH
MAY BE FINAL
BLOW FOR SPORT
Two Bills Before S0l0ns
Ask Repeal Boxing
Laws

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-With the
introduction of two bills at Al
bany asking for the repeal of the
boxing law and a third calling for
investigation of the Boxing Com
mission, general uneasiness for tn
future of the game is felt here as q
result of the death of frankie Je
lome.
Even the more optimistic OF those
who have the "intcgcst' &C thr
business ut heart feel that nothing
but a valiant defense of the game
by Senator James j. Walker can
. save it.
From n reliable source it was
learned today that Walker, disgust
ed with the game that he restored
to legal standing in New York. vii
not raise his voice or lift a finger
if the legislature wants to repeal
his bill.
The death of Jerome, following a
boxing contest in Madison Square
Garden last week, is regarded as the
blow that killed all chances to re-
~
groggy and out on its feet.
There has been no disposition here
to hold "Bud' Taylor, the Terre
Haute boxer who appeared against
jerome, responsible for either the
death of his opponent or the immi-
nent demise of the sport.
In Bad Condition
1t was generally known in boxing
circles here that jerome was in bad
condition as a result of an automo-
bile accident several months ago
and punishment in two bouts after
his recovery.
Eddie Long, manager of Taylor,
said today that he knew jerome
was in very bad condition after the
eleventh round and when he saw the
bout was to continue he ordered
Taylor not to lead at his opponent S
head.
Taylor confined his attack to the
body in the twelfth round.
Lou Brix, who succeeded Billy
Gibson as Jerome's manager some
time ago, said he wanted to toss in
the towel after the tenth round but
that Jerome objected violently.
Saying that he was not in such bad
shape, that he could stall through
two more rounds and escape the
blemish of Knockout on his record.
The district attorneys office
was to hold a formal investigation
this afternoon. Taylor, Long and
officials off the commission have
been asked to be present.
