WORLD SERIES SPECIAL, EN-
ROUTE TO PHILADELPHIA, Oct.
TN the days of our youth, when
ball players had just discarded their
mutton chop whiskerS, but still spat
on their hands and wore red fan
mel underwear, there was a popular
song to the effect that: "H-A-
double-R- -I-G-A-N spells Harrigan." ."
1t had quite catchy tune, and
went on to state that this Harrigan
lad was:
proud of all the Irish blood that's in me.
"Divil man can say word agin me-"
Now it may be that before the
current world series, which is about
to enter its sixth phase, passes on to
take it's proper place in baseball
lore, the song birds of st. Louis will
be paraphrasing that ancient paen

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. z. =
Mobilization of army and navy re-
serves totaling 100000 men was an
nounced officially today by the gov
ernment in its drive against revo-
lutionary forces in Rio Grande
Do Sui and other states.
One hundred thousand men will
be put in the field Immediately and
the remainder will be held in re-
serve, the announcement said.
The government announcement
said ten military classes of reserves
would 1e mobiliZed. Each class will
be called from men between 81 and
81 years old and it was estimated
each class would number $4,000
men. A presidential decree calling
out reserves in two categories previ-
ously had been published.
Officials said that reserve corps
already had modified voluntarily
in interior provinces before the
actual orders were dispatched.
Order Partly Restored
Unofficial advices said order
had been restored in the states of
Pernambuco in northeastern Brazil
where the powerful radio stations
are located; Rio Grande Do Norte,
north of Pernambuco; Para, on the
north coast at the mouth of the
Amazon river, and Parana.
The state of Parana, south of Sac
Paulo, has been a center of rebel
concentration in frontier advices.
Federal troops were said to be in
control of the situation in the above
named states.
Meanwhile, the government con-
tinued its intensive campaign
against the insurgent forces. Avia-
tors led the attack, bombing rebel
towns in the interior states. The air
forces were prepared for great
bombing raid through the revolu-
tionary towns to the northward of
the capital
Rebels Are Repulsed
Federal forces were reported vic
torious in fighting in Minas Geraes
Monday, driving the rebels from
several small towns near the i'm
portant city of Bello Horizonte.
which is in rebel hands. Minas
Geraes is a large state just north
and west of Rio de Janeiro.
A detachment of Rio de Janeiro
state police captured sixty state po-
lice of Minas Geraes after a counter
attack of Rio Preto. The town was
taken by the federal police, who
captured rebel machine guns.
Asserts Revolt Success
A cattle buyer, fully acquainted
with the state of Rio Grande Do Sui,
arrived here today from the interior
of the Brazilian state and said the
revolution was a success in that
region.
He said $4,000 troops were reported
converging on the city of Sac Paulo,
intending to make a great mil
itary demonstration on the border as
a manifestation of success of the
revolution.
The buyer said the real object of
the revolutionaries is separation
from Brazil and formation of an
independent state.

STATE ROAD
FUNDS GONE,
DEBTS MOUNT
Huge Increase in Overhead
Is Revealed by Check
of Report.
GOOD WEATHER BLAMED
Department Hard Hit When
Receipts From Gasoline
Tax Decrease.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY

Increase of $1,226,23912 in over
head expenses, due in part to an
orgy Of salary boosts which almost
doubled the pay roll is one of the
items causing the state highway
department to be broke" and in
debt in the first full fiscal year Of
Director John J. Browns operation
. This overhead increase was dis
closed today by check of the an
nual financial report for the fiscal
year ending Sept. 80, on file with
State Auditor Archie Bobbitt. The
fiscal year Of 1929-30 is the first
full year during which Brown has
been in charge.
The report shows that construc-
tion department costs increased
from $16,438 ,992.45 for the fiscal
year 192a-29, to SIT, ,60227 for the
fiscal year just closed, an INCREASE
of $716,609.62.
Maintenance Costs Soar
Maintenance department costs,
including motor transport, scared
for the same period from $4,918,-
06O9O to $5,327, ,932.89, an increase Of
S5O9, ,S71.99.
This makes the total increase for
the two departments 81 ,226, ,481 81.
But Director Brown did decrease the
total for the administration de-
partment. He decreased it $242.69,
or from $73,154.51 in 1928-29 to
7291182 in 1929-30.
The $24269 decrease deducted
from the $1,226, ,481.81 increase, leaves
a total increase in overhead ex-
'pense for 1929-30 of $1,226 ,639.12.
The favorable weather permitted
the paving program to be advanced
and the highway commission bor-
rowed $1,600000 from the cities,
counties and towns gasoline tax
fund at 2 per cent interest to meet
obligations.
This amount would care for the
increased overhead and leave
1878, ,76088 to pay contractors who
completed their paving early.
Going Around with Almanac
Upon the unusually favorable
weather the last summer, which
expedited paving projects. the high
way department has been relying
for explanation of its deficit.
They have been going around
with an almanac making explana-
uons." was the comment of one
state senator.
Another loan was asked, but
denied by the state auditor and
treasurer, although favored by Gov
ernor Harry Ct. Leslie. The trio
compose the state finance board
which must approve loan.
Auditor Bobbitt and Mrs. Grace
Banta Reynolds, state treasurer,
pointed out that a decrease in gaSo-
line tax receipts would make the
loan impossible of repayment when
due.
SO the highway department re-
sorted to certificates of Indebtedness
to pay contractors.
Wisdom of denying further loans
was shown when gasoline tax re-
ceipts did decrease during Septen1-
Der. for the first time since the tax
law was passed in 1925.

sum Of $1,000 for the purpose of

mating a very bad fire hazard.
