Materials for construction, it was said ‘would be furnished by the Chicago com- pany after, clear titles had been proved. In a formal announcement the board warned the public “to refrain from loose talk and provocative ‘language about either sides of the controversy.” The four big brotherhoods and _the switchmen’s ufion, have reiter- ated their warning to the U. 8. Rail- road Labor Board that “only a satis- factory settlement” can prevent the sallroad strike called for next Sun- day morning, it was learned today. Hopes For S The labor board sxp.muncement said: *“There is great reason to hope that the strike will be,averted. The railroad labor board has settled 700 disputes between the railroads ana their employes in about a year and & half.

Let Public Decide In response to Mr. Stone's state- ment blaming the labor board for the present strained situation Chairman R. M. Barton of the board declared he is “willing to let the public decide who is to blame.” “You may say for me as emphati- cally as you wish” he added, “whether the railroad lgbor board is to be blamed for anything or not these men ecannot justify their action on that ground.

William Curtin, son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Curtin of 175 West Main street, who has arrived home from Brazil after a stay there.of three and one-half years, gives a very in- teresting account of his experiences and impressions while he was in the country. Mr. Curtin, through his connectiohs with the ® Chamber of Commerce of the city of Santos and the National City Bank of New York, has a thorough knowledge of the nancial and business condition of Brazil and the other South Afmerican republics. Depression There Also. Speaking from a business stand- point. Mr. Curtin likens the condi- tion of the country to that of the United States with régard to the de- pression. Brazil derives its trade from the exports of coffee, cocoa and tobacco. During the war, Brazil ex- ported on an average of 15,000,000 bags of coffee per year, which rep- resents its normal yearly export of that article, 12,000,000 pounds of which are raised in the city of San- tos where Mr. Curtin was stationed while in the country. This amounts to 63 per cent of the coffee raised in the world, the rest being raised in Central America. | Other. Large Expons. The exports of rice, beans, cotton and hides and also rubber from the north of the country were also very large, but owing to the fact that the export business is practically at a standstill, and /because the country itself has no means of manufactur- ing. their materials, ‘conditions are very bad. In general, all the coun- tries ®f South America are dependent on foreign trade for their mainte- nance, and a good evample of the clearly out-classed by her bigger rival.

To quiet a rumor to the effect that water rents throughout the city are to be materially increased on account of the olitlay of a large sum of money on the development project, Mayor O. E. Curtis explained this morning that but a part of the work is to be done at this time and no increases in rent- ald 'will be necessary now. Tha mayor’'s statement follows: “Mr. Hazen of New York was en- gaged by the water department some two or three years ago to make a sur- vey of our water resources and make recommendations as to the best meth- od of developing them. ., He recom- mended a system of development in five different stages. The water board of the city has at the present time only been authorized to act on the first rec- ommendation and has started.work— that is a system of wells and a pump- ing station. This is expected to cost somewhere near $200,000 and will be a protection to the city in case of drouth or low 'stat f water at any time in the future. [It is capable of furnishing several illion gallons of water per day at a minimum cost and should be ample for our water devel- opments for several years. “The other recommendations have not been accepted by the board of water commissioners \Or by the city council and it will be b matter to con- sider in the future—maybe five or ten years from now. : ‘‘Some-of the costs which have been published are incorrect and the costs which were estimated at the time were estimatéd on the prevailing prices at that time and were high, just at the conclusion of the war. ,The matter of increasing the water rates has not been acted upon and it is not expected that they will be acted upon-as the small amount of money to be expended on ;the present. development will. not réquire such a raise.

Later the casket of the American warrior was placed in the rotunda of the city hall which was decorated with American flowers and flags. The casket was draped in an American flag, the only flowers on it being the little bouqueb which was used by Sergeant Younger in making the selection. Thousands passed reverently by the casket the Bilence in the rotunda be- ing broken only by the murmurs by many, women and children who knelt and prayed beside the ~colin. The wholé district joined in mourning. Great mases of flowers were brought by country people and many children were carrying little bouquets of wild- flowers. After the stream of mourners had passed, the casket was taken on a gun carriage, escorted by pallbearers, and an American guard of honor of 24 persons, followed by several battalions and French troops, to a special train leaving in the evening.

London, Oct. 24.—An unverified res port that former Emperor Charles of Austria has been assassinated has been received by the Exchange Tele« graph Co. ‘War Clouds Gather. Pagis, Oct. 24.—War clouds seem to be gathering over Hungaria as a result of former Emperor Charles® return to that country and his ate tempt to establish himself upon the Magyar throne. Jugo-Sla and Czecho-Slovakia, member nations of the “little entente” are understood to be mobilizing forces to bring pressure to bear upon Hungary to expel Charles, while there have been re- ports that Rumania, the third mem- ber nation of this Balkin combina- tion, is prepared to join her allies in a military demonstration. Communications Broken. Communication between Budapest and ‘the outside world has been inter- rupted for the last 48 hours and what news has been learned has come by roundabout routes and is taken with reserve in Entente capitals. It is be- lieved, however, that Charles has not as yet entered Budapest, although his forces, marching eastward from Bur- genland on the Austrian frontier are reported to be nearing the Hunga- rian capital. Admiral Horthy, the Hungarian re- gent, is believed to be firm in his de- termination to expel Charles from that country and reports received here indicate that troops under his command have remained loyal to his gover .u:ent. Dispatches state that workingmen’s delegations have called upon the regent and assured him of their support in the fight against the reactionary elements seeking to re- establish the monarchy. Nations allied against the central empires during the world war have notified the Hungarian government that the restoration of a Hapsburg to the throne would endanger peace in Central Europe, and have called for drasti¢ action in defeating the attempt of the monarchists to es- tablish power in Budapest. Allies Are Opposed. At the meeting of the council of ambassadors the influence of the al- lied powers was definitely thrown against the attempted restoration.
