Capital Gets First
Rain for 6 Weeks;
Forecast Is Colder

The first rain in six weeks, an
intermittent drizzle through which
vehicular traffic skidded this
morning, arrived here last mid
night in advance of a 15-degree
drop in temperature expected to-
night.
A minimum Of 40 degrees IS
predicted, something less than a
cold wave, but well under this
mornings low mark of IS de-
grees. About 0.18 inches of rain
fell, not enough to make much
impression on the drought,
weathermen said.
Partly cloudy skies should pre-
vail here tonight, without much
rain and clearing tomorrow. The
cold is expected to continue.
Today's rain was one of scant
half dozen which have developed
here since last July. The cold Is
coming from the northwest, where
subnormal temperatures were felt
yesterday and last night.

VARGAS GUARDED
CLOSELY IN BRAZIL
Friends of Rebel Leader Fear
Attempts on His Life on Way
to Be President.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO, October 2o-Ex-
IRENE precautions were taken today to
safeguard the life of DR.. Getulio VAR
gas, proceeding to Ciudad Sac Paulo
and Rio de Janeiro to assume control
of the Brazilian government.
Despite the victory of the revolu-
ton, and the popularity of the man,
it was felt by revolutionary leaders that
there still are elements which question
his designation by the military junta
which deposed President Washington
Luis as the logical figure for the presi-
dency.
Expected by Rio Today.
All that is known here of the Rio
Grande do Sui leaders plans is that he
will go to Sac Paulo and thence to Rio
de Janeiro. Reports were that he will
arrive here today, prepared to outline
future policies of the new government,
but there has been no word here of
definite departure from Itarara. He is
expected to bring with him a force of
cowboy rebel cavalry.
Capt. Juarez Tavora, leader of the
victorious revolutionary army of the
north, arrived here yesterday by air.
plane from Bahia, and was given
tumultuous greeting. The youthful mill
tary leader, asking that no military men
enter the new government, has effaced
himself gracefully from situation in
which at least one section of the coun-
try would have considered him as hav-
ing equal rights with DR.. Vargas for
the presidency.
President Still Held.
Pending arrival of DR.. Vargas, Dr.
Osvaldo Aranha, Liberal politician and
President protein of Rio Frande do Sui,
is acting as his representative in nego-
tiations with the junta. DR.. Washing
ton Luis, deposed President, Is still con-
fined in the officers quarters of the Fort
Alveza Copacabana. DR.. Julio Prestes,
President elect, is remaining at the
residence of the British consul general
in Sac Paulo. Heavy guards have been
thrown around the residence.
Business is resuming its normal
aspect. The banks are open, but 30
day moratorium Is in effect and only
the Banco do Brazil can negotiate bills
of foreign exchange No further fight
ing or serious disturbances are expected.

ing the bodies of IS Japanese, slain by
the rebelling aborigines, had been found

Word of the revolt came barely a
fortnight after Formosa officials had
announced the successful conclusion of
Japan's 25-year fight to subdue the
aborigines. Unconfirmed reports said
the savages left a bloody trail in ad-
vancing to Musha, where they attacked
school children. The aborigines were
said to have seized 100 rifles.
Prior to the japanese occupation
airplanes flying over Musha had re-
ported the village deserted.
japanese authorities were unable to
explain the motive for the uprising.
Two infantry companies and police
detachment had been sent from oppo-
site sides of FormoSa to converge on
the savages and quell the uprising. It
was the police detachment which final-
ly reached the town.
Explanations Offered.
Newspapers here, however, offered
several explanations for the revolt.
Among the reasons advanced was the
electric power project at Lake Jitsu-
getsutan. The semi-oficial rormosa
Electric Power Co. is said to be ne
gotiating with the j. p. Morgan Co.
of New York for loan of $4,000 900

HOOVER RAISES
FUNDS TO PAY
COMMISSIONS
SoIicits 100000 to Keep
Groups Operating; No
Public Funds Available.

| BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Presi-
dent Hoover's own little secret
about how he finances the activi-
ties of his unofficial commissions
was disclosed today.
The United Press learned the
President raised $250,000 for the re-
cent child health commission and
is now raising $250,O0O more for the
forthcoming White House confer
ence on home building and home
ownership, the money having al
ready been promised.
These sums together with vari-
Gus smaller amounts make a total
of between 100000 to 100000
which MIR. Hoover has collected by
private subscription for various
commissions not supported by pub
lie funds.
The major portion of the sums
we're contributed by the Carnegie
foundation and the Rockefeller In
stitute, both endowed philan-
thropic organizations. The Rus
sell Sage Foundation also has
made a contribution. The presi-
dent himself has made smaller
contributions.
The White House declined to dis
cuss or comment upon the disclos-
ure.
Mr.. Hoover steadfastly has main
tanned reticence about the methods
by which he has followed the I'M
usual policy Of establishing unoff1-
cial commissions to promote unofh-
cial public welfare work.
