RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil. March 10.
Woman suffrage has arisen to a
status of supreme Importance here as
the approach of the opening OF the
Winter session OF Congress in May
draws nearer. The 20 States OF the
Union and the federal district are rife
with discussion of the topic which only
few years ago occupied the attention
OF legislators in the United States.
The state of Rio Grande do Norte
continues to furnish the leadership in
the movement for woman suffrage, with
President Juvenal Lamartine eXerting
every effort to increase the registration
OF women and thus bring the question
into focus in the entire nation. Many
women have participated in state cleo
tons since they were granted the right
to vote in 1927. but women's votes for
a federal senator were thrown out
when the Senate met In May, 1928.
The state already has woman mayor,
Nine. AlZira TeiXeira Soriano. who is
the ''prefeito" of the town Of Lagos.
Outside of Rio Grsnde do Norte sew
eral women have been able to have
their names enrolled as voters upon
obtaining court order to do so. but the
cases are rather isolated. Women have
succeeded in registering in Minas
Geraes. Rio de Janeiro, Ceara and Ba-
hia but in these same states there have
been instances of refusals. each indi-
vidusl Judge handing down decision
according to his own Interpretation of
the federal constitution.
In the state OF Goyaz there was one
case Of woman being registered. but
her writ was subsequently annulled.
There is no attempt being made by
auffragists to obtain federal law pro-
viding for votes for women. their con-
tention being that the Brazilian consti-
tuition. adopted soon after the empire
was overthrown and the republic pro-
claimed in 1889, gives them the right
to vote. The constitution refers to
citizens of 81 years or more" in pre-
scribing the conditions regulating the
right to vote. and no mention Of sex
is made.

LOS ANGELES. Calf. March 49,
Anxiety prevailed the starry motion pic
ture armament in Hollywood today as
many Aim celebrities wondered how
much they will owe Uncle Sam after
the investigation of their earnings. and
whether they will be held responsible
for any improper acts attributed by
Federal income tax officials to j. Mar
jorie Berger.
Miss Berger, an income tax counselor
of HOLLYWOOD was indicted by Federal
grand jury here yesterday on "a counts
Of alleged criminal aid in preparing
fraudulet income tax returns for many
prominent film perSonages. Government
officials declared she assisted in de-
frauding the Treasury out of more than
81 ,000, 900 In recent years.
The apprehension of the screen
celebrities may not bew holly unfounded
was evidenced by the announcement of
United States Attorney S. W. McNabb
that several idols of the movie fans may

be named in conspiracy indictments.
One thing which may save the film
stars involved from criminal prosecu-
tions may be the difficulty of proving
criminal intent in the submission of the
tax returns. In any event, said the
Federal experts. the actors and actresses
will be gald to pay whatever financial
penalties the Government may assess
rather than face criminal prosecution
Figures Of Rod LarOque.
One of the disclosures in the indict-
ment was that the gross 1927 income
OF Rob Laroque. as approved by Miss
Berger. was $l2l.987. She made deduc-
tions totalling s43,870, leaving net
income of s77,216. upon which tax of
$10,648 was paid. The Government
charged that Laroque's gross income
was SlS2.779. and that deductions
should have totalled only $9,667 leav-
ing a net income of $l73l1l. upon
which a tax Of $34,291 should have
been paid

General Mitchell, the report said the
investigator had gone thoroughly into
all charges made against those handling
the affairs of the Indian and recon-
mended that no indictments be sought
against any one connected with the
matter. Mr.. Mitchell said the recon-
mendations would be followed by the de-
partment
Butler said, however, that suit look
ing to the annulment of the marriage
of the aged Indian to Anna Laura Lowe
may be maintained by the Government
and urged the continuation of prosecu-
ton of suits to recover more than a
million dollars the Indian donated to a
church organization and others.

There were chambers into which this

finally dawned upon them, some

GRAND RAPIDS (By MaiD -
During the last five or six years the
National Association of Furniture
Manufacturers, through their local
organization in the various furniture
centers such as Grand Rapids, Mich;
Chicago and Rockford, Illinois;
jamestown, N. Y, and Cincinnati,
Ohio, have been carrying on an ever
more vicious campaign of driving
down the wages and worsening the
conditions of the 100000 workers in
The industry.
A typical example. of this. cam
paign is to be found in Grand
Rapids, Mich, which is known as
the Furniture Capital. Of the
World" and where $4,000, workers in
the 60 or more furniture factories
produce around $70,000,000 worth of
furniture annually, and set back
i'll the form of wages only 20 per
cent of this vast wealth which they
produce. Here the already insuffi-
cient wages of the men are being
driven still lower and the mothers
and the children yet of school age
are forced to go to work in the fac
tories and stores in. order to bolster
W the family income to meet the
fcost of.-li4ing. This has. the furthef
effect of reducing wages in general
and adding to the unemployment Of
able-bodied men.
Lengthen Working Day.
Along with these reductions in
wages comes an attempt to lengthen
the working day. The 9 hour day
which was won through the 1910

Boys Visit Mission
With Sack and Beg
Old Bread Crusts
Appeals From Destitute
Frequent at Home of
Gospel Mission.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Three small boys appeared before the
doors of the Gospel Mission, John Mar
shall place, last Saturday. A sack hung
from the shoulders of the oldest lad.
Please, man." he said to the woman
in the office, have you any old bread
crustS you can give away?"
The appeal brought forth the same
old story. No father at the home
mother sick in bed-three small, hungry
boys - and ignorance of the usual
method Of seeking assistance from
charitable organizations.
The cheer of Christmas would be un-
known to many such children, were it
not for the help rendered by the kindly
workers at the mission. Many, ignorant
of how or where to appeal, attracted by
the sign Gospel Mission" which ap-
pears above the doors of that institu-
ton, enter with hesitation. later to pour
forth tale of want and distress to the
sympathetic ears of those within
The bread line" of the Gospel Mis-
sion has been unusually long this year.
For what reason, do not know" re-
marked Mrs. Harvey Prentice, wife of
Supt. Prentice of the mission. "I don't
think for over five years have met SO
many men-fathers of families-out of
work and in need of help. There seem
to be so many transient families who
need assistance badly. This year, more
so than any year previously, we are
getting great many families from the
North-from the manufacturing centers.
They have come to Washington and for
several months, perhaps, have secured
work. Then the bad weather came,
they lost their jobs and now Christmas
and there is nothing for either the
grown-ups or the children"
Mrs. Prentice reported that over 1870
families would be provided with Christ
mas dinners this year by the Gospel
Mission, an excess of at least 40 over
the number taken care of last year.
Paper bags filled with toys, fruit, candy
and useful articles will be distributed
to over two hundred of the Mission
Sunday school children
But I'm afraid the toys will not all
be new" regretted Mrs. Prentice, NOR
may we have enough to go around
There are so many children right in
the neighborhood who will go without
Christmas if We do not take care of
them"
Down in the basement of the mission,
little Jim Prentice, 6-year-old son of the
superintendent, has for more than three
weeks been repairing and painting and
fixing up" old toys which he has him
self collected from neighbors and little
friends. Jimmie's work has been purely
voluntary. Its lots of fun" smiled
Jimmie as he dabbed red paint on a
rusty old fire engine and incidentally
on the chubby little hands which ham
died the brush.
