 Red Tape Broken
 In arresting MT. and Mrs. kao federal officials broke through a maze of technicalities. Ting kao's last connection with the consulate here was severed yesterday, how ever, and the arrests followed. Be- cause of the diplomatic status of kao the federal officials previously hesitated to arrest either him or his wife. The trunks had been brought into this country under consular privileges.
 Federal officers declared that the eight Chinese suspects were so pow erful among their own people here that trouble was being encountered in finding Chinese to translate some Of the documentary evidence found in Mrs. kao's baggage.
 Mrs. kao continued to protest ha' innocence when she appeared before 7 United States commissioner She sill insisted that she had not known the contents of the trunks and that she had brought them to this coun- try as favor to friends in China.

 Brazilians are always joking about the Portuguese immigrant who came 70 Rio de Janeiro and was per suaded 10 invest his money in buy .ny street car with it's cash regis tA" which continually registered re- celpts. and never disbursements But whether or not that story is legend ;rv, if you'll come to Rio and visit the 9th district police station you'll 'et .n its records all about a street car sold in A. D. 1929.

Street cars were trailers filed 10 capacity plus the rush hour trap changers, came to a stop, un- loaded, and were quickly loaded again.

 A Thriiing Business
 Yes, it's a thriving business" a hy-stander told him. T happen tc own some street cars, and they make about sl.24o NI. SD a trip They average about 30 trips a day so that it's a thriving business"
 The Mineiro was enthusiastic.
 The only trouble" continued the hy-stander. ''is that I have stree, cars all over town. and it keeps me on the run to handle the busi- ness"
 If only the street cars weren't SC eApenslVe ...." said Jose.
 Why, they're dirt cheap for what they bring in. I'd be able to sell you one for as little as sLSo0.

 How about s1,4o0?"
 That's fine"
