OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS
OF PAST WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Domestic political problems but of In
ternational import have dominated the
news dispatches from foreign sources for
a week. They have ranged from the
peaceful discussions of tariff and similar
subjects by English Conservatives and
Laborites, through agitation against the
Spanish dictatorship to flaming revolt
in Albania.
Running through the web of the pat
tern has been a plainly marked design
of widely scattered governments in re-
sistance to encroachments of radicaliSm
in various forms, but chiefly the COM
munistic doctrines of Soviet Russia.
Sweden has Just passed through cam
paign of that character and now has a
Conservative cabinet in power for the
first time in several years.
British Labor Party's Attitude.
The British Labor party had its in
nings with the annual conference of the
organization at Birmingham. The Con-
servatives already had their gathering at
Great Yarmouth and the Liberals, led
bv LLOYD George, are to wind up the
convention aspects of the English cam
paipn by q conference in London this
week.
The Laborites, with j. Ramsay Mac
Donald, former prime minister, showing
the way, reiterated their socialistic aims.
They devoted some time to banking and
currency reform, and to denouncing the
foreign policies Of the Conservative
cabinet. The secret diplomacy" meth
DDS of the foreign ministry in handling
the Franco British naval accord were
ridiculed, and the reservations which
Great Britain made to the Kellogg pact
renouncing war as a national policy
were given much of the blame for the
lack of progress toward disarmament in
the League of Nations Assembly at
Geneva.

The dockworkers' strike itself gave

CLARENDON, Va, October 8.-The
school board of Arlington County will
hold a special meeting tonight in the
Office of Prof Fletcher Kemp, superin-
tendent, at the courthouse to determine
if the auditoriumS of the county schools
shall be thrown open for political meet
ings
The decision of the board to get to-
gether on the question grew out of an
application made by the Anti-Smith
Democratic Club, of which Frank Lyon
is president. for use of the auditorium
of Washington-L High School for a
political rally tomorrow night at which
it is planned for Bishop James E. Can
non of Richmond to make the principal
address
Thomas ]. De Lasmutt, chairman of
the board, declared today that he would
oppose the application on the ground
that the schools were built for school
purposes only and should be kept free of
political discussions. The school board
was elected to protect the interests of
all of the people in the matter of con-
Quoting schools and caring for the school
property he said, and If the audi
forums are made available for political
discussions, even though all parties are
accorded the same privileges, there is q
strong possibility that some people will
be offended" This is what we must try
to avoid, he added
William L. Bragg, chairman of the
Arlington County Democratic committee
and president of the Smith Robinson
Moore Club, declared today that he had
been informed by the school authorities
that none of the county schools could
be used for political rallies. He said he
would have no objections to the pro-
posed meeting being held in Washing

providing his organization could have 1t

vile, KY, next Saturday night. He
has not disclosed what his text will
be, but now that Herbert Hoover has
made his formal bid for support In the
South. some of the governors sup
porters here believe he will devote at
least a part of his address in the Blue
Grass State to a reply to his Repub-
lican opponents remarks at Elizabeth
ton, Tenn.
Tennessee will have plenty of oppor-
tunity to get its first glimpse of the
New York State executive before he
invades Kentucky. That border State
will be his first destination after leaving
New York, Chattanooga and Nashville
being on the schedule for a full day of
conferences Friday with prominent
Democrats. AS Chattanooga is close to
the southern Tennessee border, some
of those connected with the governors
campaign feel that his visit there may
be made the occasion of big rally and
reception. with not only Tennesseeans,
but well-wishers from adjacent sections
OF neighhortnR States participating.

BRAZIL RECALLS WOMEN
FROM SYRIAN TERRITORY
Wives and Children Left Destitute
by Death Were Enormously Re-
ported as in Bondage.

BY the Associated Press
RIO JANEIRO, October 8.-Although
investigation showed that the report
that Brazilian women were being held
in virtual bondage In Moslem haremS
in Syria and Lebanon was without
foundation, several Brazilian women are
being repatriated from the Levant.
The inquiry was begun several
months ago by the Brazilian Minister
at Cairo and the consuls at Alex
andria and Beirut. The foreign min
lister yesterday said that they had the
full cooperation of the Syrian au-
thorities and found no substantiation
of the report that large numbers of
women were being held against their
will.
Three Brazilian women and seven
minor children, the wives and offspring
of Syrians who had worked In Brazil
and then returned to their native land,
embarked at Beirut on September 81
for Rio Janeiro. These families had
been left destitute by the deaths of
the husbands and fathers.

HALL CHARGES
HUGE FRAUD IN
PRIMARY VOTE
Recount Bares Corruption
in County, Defeated
Candidate Asserts.

Widespread primary frauds have
been proved in the recount OF
Marion County votes, Archibald M
Hall, defeated Republican candidate
for nomination for Congressman,
charged today.
Hall late Monday dropped mis- suit
for a recount. N
He declared that Prosecutor vii
liam H. Remy has been appraised OF
all the fraud uncovered.
The recount has not changed
materially the official tabulation
but it has shown pretty conclusively
that the primary is not the positive
cure-all for political ills.
Charges Fraud Rampant
Fraud and corruption still are
possible and minority groups and
cliques can put over their candi-
dates. Under it every inducement
is offered for excessive and illegiti-
mate expenditures" Hall charged.
In his statement, Hall asserted
that $500 citizens were disfran-
chised by failure of clerks to sign
their initials to tally sheets.
There was evidence OF much
repeating, ne also declared, citing
that the recount showed the names
of eighty-t1ve persons who had not
lived in the precinct within the
year or who had been dead for some
time, listed as voting in the Seventh
precinct, Seventh ward.
Hall Makes Gain
With votes in all but five town
ships outside the city recounted,
Hall showed net gain of 112 votes
Congressman Ralph E. Updike was
declared nominated by majority
Of 1903 votes on the Official returns.
The recount will continue as to
the county surveyor race, Surveyor
Henry Campbell having announced
he will fight the nominee, Paul
Roscoe Brown, to a finish.

today by Secretary E. S. Shumaker
of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League.
Shumaker busted himself Mon
day with wiring Hoosier delegates
at Houston against seeking the
vice presidential nomination on the
same ticket with Smith.
Indiana women, who are I'M

opposition of Smith by votes next

FOR SALARIES
Banks Provide Pay for
County Employees.

County employees will be paid as
usual July as a result of deal
today in which County Auditor
Harry Dunn sold $350,O00 in short
term bonds to Indianapolis banks.
The sale ended a 24-hour period
during which it appeared employees
would have to go until Aug. with
out pay, because no bids we're re-
ceived Monday for the sale of the
six months bonds.
High interest rate OF the money
market was attributed as the cause
of the failure of city firms to bid
Under the new arrangement the
Fletcher American National Bank
bought $250,000 of the bonds and
the Union Trust Company, 100000
The purchases we're looked on as a
great public service by the banks,
since the county securities bear only
4 per cent, and the money market
at present is much higher.
Meeting of the county council to
go into the matter, called Monday
by Dunn for July II, will not be
held.

CITY TO PROBE
FRAUD CHARGES
ON TRAILER BID
Scout Rumor That Board
: Was 0verCharged on
Truck Equipment.

The city sanitary board today
promised a thorough investigation
of a charge by representatives Of
the Freuhauff Trailer Company Of
Detroit that the Highway Trailer
Company of Edgerton, Wis, had
sold the city eight garbage and ash
truck trailers last week at a price
from $500 to $500 higher than of
fered other Middle Western cities.
The board indicated 1t did not be-
lieve the charge would be subs
Stantiated.
Earl Cox and Taylor E. Gron~
ninger, attorneys; A. M. Buchanan
and Fred Boylan represented this
F'reuhauff company. The attorneys
presented a purported copy of bid
for equipment they said was of the
same type bought here which the
Highway company submitted to Coz
lumbus, Ohio, Oct 10, 1927.
This bid offered the trailers to
Columbus for Sits. The Indians
apolis bid last week was $1,670.
The Freuhauff company was one
of the unsuccessful bidders here,
Cox declared he was interested
only in determining whether In
dianapolis was being charged moro
than other cities for the same
equipment.
Board members said they would
write to other cities for specifica-
tons and prices offered by the high
way company, but they believed the
inquiry would disclose that the res
quirements here included a number
of special devices which made the
job more expensive.
They said they awarded the con-
tract to the Highway company be-
cause long use of highway equip
ment here has disclosed its main-
tenance is low enough to make it
cheaper than equipment costing less
originally.
