BRAZIL SHOOTS 200 MUT1NEERs
Government Is Once More In Control
of Cobra Island Garrison.

Rio de Janeiro, Dec. 12.-Govern-
ment troops are again in control of the
garrison on Cobra island, and the sec
ond mutiny of the naval forces has
ended with heavy casualty list, but in
a way that probably will prevent
further risings for some time.
The mutineers, who composed a bat
talon of the marine corps, numbered
about 600 men. Of these 200 were
killed or wounded. The others were
taken prisoners by the destroyers while
attempting to escape from the island in
the night.
Two hundred citizens were either
killed or wounded while watching the
bombardment from the streets OF along
the waterfront. Many government
buildings were damaged, including the
treasury, the foreign Office and the de-
partments of public works and tele
graph.
Two land batteries, two warships and
several destroyers took part in the
bombardment, and twice in the engage
ment an armistice was allowed for the
removal of the dead and wounded.

WOULD TAKE STATES LAW.
Forest Service Would Cut OFF Their q
Per Cent of the Receipts.

A movement has been started by the
forest service virtually TO nullify the
law giving to western states 25 per
cent of the receipts from forest re-
serves within their borders for school
and road purposes.
The proposition was brought before
the agricultural committee to amend
this law so as to give the secretary of
agriculture the right to go into every
state and investigate how this money
is being expended by the state and to
shut off payments to states whenever
he is convinced the fund is not being
used for schools or roads.
Funds so taken from states are to
be given to the forest service.
