piled to her clothing. probably from tho effects of drugs given her by the murderer.
 Miss Mary Brown. . niece. who identified the murdered woman, said that on Monday she talked with her aunt q short time after she quit her place with the Gillespie family and that no mention was made of that fact or of a trip to California. Authorities inferred from this that the murderer had induced Mtss Brown to practice this decep- tion on her relatives in order that her sudden disappearance would not be checked up immediately. The man sought is believed to be at least to outward appearances educated as Miss Brown had travelled extensively in Europe and Asia and was said to speak several languages. Her brother, Ferdinand J. Brown said she had never shown any previous interest in men and was frequently heard to remark that her young charges were her sole interest in life.
 The money and bonds are thought to have been her life savings, and police believe the motive for the murder.

WHITE SLAVERY BLAME IS DENIED
Leaders in Brazl's Capital Issue
 Statement

Rio de Janeiro. Feb. 23 (UP)- This capital is not terrible city of vice. and the league of nations re- port on Brazil is plainly exaggerat- ed, said senor Carlos Costa, who was chief of police in Rio at the time the league made its recently published worldwide study of white slavery.
 White slavery derives most of its existence and expansioh from the police immunity in the countries" I" said Senor Bandeiro de Mello, also former chief of police and one time Brazilian delegate to the league of nations referring to the leagues designation of Brazil as one of the chief importing countries of this nefarious trade.
 These emphatic expressions were prompted by publication abroad of details of the league of nations' report in which Brazil was chased with Argentina and Egypt as the principal white slave markets of the world.
 'We have always persecuted pro- curers," said Senor Costa. During my term of office we found relative ly few and these were invariably foreigners. We never permitted the entrance into Brazil of women travelling alone unless they could show bona fide documents of con- nections with a respectable employ CT. But Brazil has more than 4.0oo miles of coastline and individuals sometimes will enter the country somewhere after being rejected at the principal ports What we, need is a highly coordinated marine po- lice, one of whose prime duties would be to prevent the entrance of procurers and white slaves. We should finger print all rejected sus- pects.''
 senor Bandeiro de Mello was more emphatic:
 "The report that Brazil imports white slaves" he declared. lis cor rect. But the responsibility rests with the exporting countries. Fake for employment abroad are permitted and the future vic tins are provided with documents attesting their respectable character and taught precisely how to circum- vent police examination upon ar- rival in Brazil.

 That paved the way for his next assertion. ''If the republicans put over some candidate nominated by the bosses in back room at 2 o'clock in the morning, and the democrats nominate Al Smith, I be- liove Smith will be elected president of the United States.
 Again there were shouts of dis sent and Mir. Fuller without losing his smile. interpolated, Well. if you don't like that one, see what you think of the next" Continuing his address he said, If the democrats do not nominate Al Smith they had better disbane or else organize the party as a free trade council of the Ku Klux Klan. with Tom Heflin as head kleagle."
 The public are better informed and therefore more independent of the old time processes and influences than eyer before," the governor said. "For the future we must have a government that can be loved, not merely supported. We must have candidates of heroic ambition de- voted to the interests of the strug- gling millions. determined to al- leviate the misery of our industrial towns and mining districts.
 "We must have men who because Of their ideals or humble beginnings will be devoted to the interests of the people as opposed to the sinister influences which, operating behind the scenes, have played an alto gether important part in our na- tional government.
 "The next president of the United States will be Herbert Hoover or AL fred Smith. These men possess what is call heroic ambition without which.

flShIONS RACE 10
 NEW YORK ON BOAT
Was M Hours Lats Due to
 Rough Weather

New York, Feb. 2S R@Eastern fashions had a race from Paris to New York on the liners Olympic and Paris both of which arrived today. a hours late on account of rough weather.
 Each steamship carries two hun- fired dress designers and buyers from all over the United States. who had heen attending the spring dress shows of famous Paris houses. So every day was fashion day on both ships in spite of rough seaI Attrac- tive young designers with the latest modes from Chanel and the other celebrated Paris creators have lit- tle fear of rough seas.
 Both ships left France February 15, The Olympic kept in the lead and reached quarantine first. bu' the France wriggled through quar- antine first and docked an hour ahead of the Olympic.
 :. staterooms on both ships were piled with mysterious boxes contain inx Paris most treasured secrets and men and women designers were huxv throughout the voyage design ing gowns which will be hus'ieo through workshops and sent by ar plane throughout America.
 There were fashion shows by day on the decks on both ships and the dinners and balls revealed the ia'- est ideas from Rue De La Paix.
 Not a knee showed beneath any or the late models displayed day ana night. Skirts are decidedly longer and the evening gowns have skirts which are several inches longer. Black evening gowns in silk. satin' velvet and lace were much III e'i- aence. There were also many white evening gowns and generous sprinkling of pale greens ana ouli reds.
 All the buyers had crystal jewelry' Necklaces of all sizes. bracelets' brooches and rings of crystal made inc ballroom of the Olypmic sclnul- ,ate. The women who had real dla- monds were overshado"ed by the oueens of sheba in Paris latest nov e]ty ornaments. There were also or raments ia imitation rubies ana em- .ralds, but the white stones were clearly the most favored.
 Hats continue small in spite oi inc efforts of designers to steer the public away from the cloehe ana various shades of lawn and light browns continue in favor. Furs are also chiefly in browns and reds ana the suits worn by the buyers were largely in various brown shades: with . sprinkling of blues and du'l reds.
 Max Hamburg. pianist, who ls on his wav to Canada for tour whicn will carry him through to the Pa cinc coast, and Nelson Keys, brit- ,sh comedian, who is on his way to Hollywood, were among the pas sengers on the Olympic. But celebri- ties had little chance as the attrac- lively gowned young dress experts and their clothes monopolized the attention of passengers.
