One Man Arrested

Boston, Oct. g (P-Federal off cers, who descended on several Bos- ton hotels early today, arrested one man for bootlegging and seized a small amount of liquor.
 The raids were started at the Stat Ter hotel. headquarters of the Amer ican Legion. A search of the lobby and upstairs railways and rooms netted large number of suspects, q larger number of imbibers, but only one bootlegger, the federal officers said. The lone seller was locked up in the Back Bay police station. and the imbibers were left to their de- sires.
 Raiding squads spread from the Statler to other Boston hotels. where no arrests were made. Suspects and imbibers, however, were prevalent all over the city, officers said.
 Police Not Notified
 Without notifying the police of the intended raids and with the ut most secrecy, the federal agents met in the Statler lobby shortly after midnight. The entire project was carried out quietly and it was hard ly apparent that anything out of the ordinary was taking place. The federal agents were reticent to give out information this morn- nig concerning the raids but the Boston police had but one man booked at the feds request and it was learned that very small amount of liquor was taken.
 The agents met Dennis T. Lorden head of the Boston dry squad, in the 1 lobby of the Statler shortly after 1 midnight. Their orders had been se- cret and their presence in the hotel was not known until the first arrest was made about an hour later.
 The agents, dressed in ordinary attire. had not notified the Boston police of their intended raid. and had been ordered by Lorden to make 1 the raids quietly but thoroughly Every prohibition agent in the dis. trict took part in the ''mopping up
 After circulating in the lHdin lob. ty of the hotel the agents went through the railways of the floors above.

 Many Reseryists Along
 The troops were accompanied oy a large number of reserVlsts who had presented themselves ready TOT immediate call. The artillery regi- ment was commanded by Ienleh1e Estenio Lima and the cavalry by Teniente Ribeiro Da Costa.
 Eight hundred volunteers, organ ized into a military brigade and commanded by Arlindo Barboza, left Santa Ana Do Livramento yesteroay morning for the northern front. The nublic bade them goodbye enthu- siastically, shouting Viva Brazll, Viva Iibertad, Viva Rio Grande DO Sul."
 Departure Of the troops for Par ana and Sac Paulo has exhausted the military power of Santa Ana DO Iivramento, and as consequence Colonel Francisco Flores Da Cuhha' in charge of the military area, mas signed a decree calling for volun- teers to police the area. Colonel pa ,Cunha said that there were 300 places vacant.
 The telegram, which was publish ed in the newspaper Fl Nac'onal here, said further that two destroy CTS which had been sent to bom- bard Rio Grande Do Sui had joined the revolution, and that two avia- tors who had fled from Rio De Ja- .,neiro with their planes informed 1n- ,surgent leaders that all avlators there had been imprisoned and that the aerial squadron at Natal had Joined the rebel force with consid- 'erable apparata.

where Pernambuco and Natal have fallen to the insurgents. Pernambuco insurgents, reinforced with compa- triots from Parahyba, have marched southward and were said here to have taken over the small state ot Alagoas, and to be now advancing toward Bahia. or Sac Salvador.
 Rio De Janeiro reports said that Bahia would be made the center of federal operations in the north and that General Santa Cruz had been appointed chief of all loyal forces in the area. He was expected to start an offensive against the north ern insurgents headed by Captain Juarez Tabora from Bahia. Previous reports of the city's having joined the revolution appeared to be incor- rect.
 Air Corps Rebels
 As reported here there is a strong revolutionary following in the Brazilian air corps. Members of the | federal aviation school at Rio De 1 Janeiro are said to be under arrest after attempting subversive move l ment. Four planes sent to bomb | Bello Horizonte, capital of Minas i Geraes, have joined the revolution, and six airplanes at Natal have been 1 handed over to the rebels The Re | De Janeiro government sent five planes to Desterro, or Florianapolis but later ordered that their pilots be arrested because of revolutionary aympathies.
 The navy will be an important factor in operations during the next few weeks. Insurgent headquarters claim some support among the naval leaders. Two destroyers arrived last night at Imbituba, near Desterro Santa Catharine base. flew red flags apparently denoting that they had joined the revolution. Federal off cers in charge at Imbtuba conferred with them to learn their intentions. As the towns in the state of h "a 1 Grande Do Sul are being u2auued of garrisons and police, home guards of the old men and boys too young to go to war are being formed. There is considerable enthusiasm every where for the revolution.

 Meanwhile. Mrs. Wilma Hoyal, of Douglas, Ariz., was elected presi- dent of the women's auxiliary of the Legion at the session of the aux iliary's national convention.
 Five vice presidents nominated yesterday were elected without op- position. They were Mrs. Hazel Dudgeon, Welch, W. Va; Mrs. Ralph s. Heaton, Closter, N. J.; Mrs. Rose Gilmore, Nashville, Tenn; Mrs. F. F. Laughbaugh, Boise, Idaho. and Mrs. A. c. Carlson, Will mar, Minn.
 Two Left in Race
 The fight for the office of na- tional commander of the Legion, to be filled at today's session, had mar rowed down to a contest between Ralph T. O'Neil of Topeka, Kans., and Munroe Johnson of Marion, s. C., when the convention got under way today.
 Three of the five candidates or iginally in the field counted them- selves out of the race before the session convened. They were Em- met O'Neal of Louisville, Ky, who said he would not permit his name to go before the delegates; Frank J. Schneider of Wisconsin, who withdrew to permit support for the eV. Joseph Barnett of Oshkosh for national chaplain; and F.. T. Roz- well of Virginia, who withdrew in favor of Johnson.
 Supporters of O'Neil and John son were working hard to line up the delegations for their respective candidates as the meeting opened.
 Liquor Raids Made
 While interest in the convention session was centered on the cleo tiona and the vote on the demand for prohibition amendment repeal, delegates were still talking about the raids staged by federal officers or hotel rooms occupied by Legion rGires early this morning. Descend ing on the Hotel Statler shortly after midnight a squad of federal dry agents combed the corridors and rooms for bootleggcrs. arrested one man openly selling liquor, and 1 expelled number of men found . drinking on the premises.

IedcraiS Move Forward

Rio De Janeiro, Oct. lP-The day to regain for the administration the northern states of Pernambuco, Rio Grande Do Norte, and Parahy- ba all of which have gone over to the revolution.
 While reports came from Recife, of Pernambuco, that a rebel army was advancing down the coast and had oVer-run the state of Alagoas, the government designated General Santa Cruz as head of all loyal troops in Bahia, between Rio De Janeiro and Pernambuco with or ders 10 conduct an offensive against the northern states from there.
 The insurgent army, it was un- derstood here, is headed by General Captain Juarez Tabora, and is made up of contingents from all three states. including those troops victor ious in the weekend battle which wrested Pernambuco from hands of the garrison there. Estacon Coim- bre, deposed president of the prov ince, was expected to arrive in Bahia shortly aboard the liner Aratimbo.
 Meanwhile, acting to preserve its food supply. government forces con- tinued an advance into the state of Minas Geraes, from where most of the capitals food supply comes. Mountainous character of the coun- try and necessity of repairing burned bridges and destroyed track is slow ing up progress of the administra- tion troops.
 Food Stuff Regulated
 A decree was promulgated today regulating the food stuffs trade in the city and establishing maximum prices. Infractions of the law will be punishable with fines up to s5,000. Certain foodstuffs will be permitted to enter Brazilian ports duty free during the next two months
 Radio messages from Manaos. capital of Amazonas. said the legis- lative assembly of that state had by exclamation condemned the revolu- tion and approved the federal gov ernment.
 Dispatches from Para, said war ships and police loyal to the govern ment, had fired upon that part of the army there which had revolted. Number of casualties was rot stated.
 A government inquiry board found that communists, allegedly, had done S2,00O,00O damages to the prop erty of the subsidiary at Bahia of the Electric Bond &5 Share con- pany. The damage was said to have been inflicted by rioters during a communoct demonstration.

which followed Tuesdays big pa rade in resolution which publicly disassociated the Legion from any connection with the incidents.
 The adoption of the resolutions preceded an address by Brigadier General Frank T. Hines, federal ad- ministrator of veterans affairs and himself Legionnaire with a distin- guished war record, who emphasized that common sense and not econo- my' was the essence of the govern ment's program for veteran relief. Green Thanks Members William R. Green. president of the American Federation of Labor. which is holding the 5Oth annual convention in the city, took time enough from the meetings of his own organization to thank the Le- giannaires for the sympathetic atti- tude toward labor and to ask their cooperation in relieving economic l distress. Green predicted that the coming winter would see widespread distress.
 The convention accorded thunder ous applause to a quartet of repre- sentatives of foreign governments | headed by General Henri Gouraud, military governor of Paris. and to Admiral w. S. Benson, U. s. N., re- tired, chief of wartime naval opera tions.
 l Others who spoke included Major General Sir William Hickie, presi- dent of the Irish Free State area of the British Legion. who recalled pleasant war time relations with General Clarence R. Edwards, com mander of the 18th Yankee diF- sion, who sat with him on the plat form.
 l Five in Election Race
 The choice of successor to Com- mander Bodenhamer seemed to re- volve around five men, whose can- didacies have been vigorously advo- cated by enthusiastic groups of : friends. They were Frank J. Schnel- Ter. Wisconsin,; Ralph T. O'Neil, Kansas: E. T. Rozwell, Virginia; Munroe Johnson. South Carolina, and Emmet O'Neal of Kentucky. 1 Legion tradition has made it man datory that none of the five declare himself a candidate or do anything to further his own advancement but this rule of custom is not binding upon their supporters.
 l Since no national commander can succeed himself, Bodenhamer is not a candidate.
