OY ADD TWO JUDGES
Salem. That the addition of two
supreme Justices to the five now con
nected with the court will be one of
the liveliest topics to be considered
by the next legislature, is the opinion
of several of the members-elect of
both the senate and the house. Un
der the amendment to article VII, no
restrictions are plnced on the number
of ju. tices and the legislature Is given
full sway to muke as uiany additions
as It pleases.
That a move will be placed on foot
to increase the number from five to
seven is certain now, and It Is under
stood plans are already under way for
the lraming of a measure to cover
the Increase. ,
Under the amendment voted upon
favorably by the people, the supreme
court is instructed to go completely
into the record if necessary, and go
beyond the exceptions which counsel
might make to the rulings of the cir
cuit court. It is stated by those who
are favorable to Increasing the num
ber of the supreme bench that this
will practically necessitate the pro
posed additions.
It Is understood that the bill for In
crease of number of justices will be
one of the first to be Introduced at
the coming session. As the additional
justices would come under the ap
pointing power of the governor, and
as the legislature will be thoroughly
Republican, a warm tilt Is looked for
ward to.

BLOODY MUTINY IN BRAZIL
Hundreds of Marines and Citizens
Dead.
Rio Janeiro. Government troops
are again in control of the garrison
on Cobr.a Island, and the second mu
tiny of the naval forces has ended
with a heavy casualty list, but in a
way that probably will prevent fur
ther risings for some time.
The mutineers, who composed a
battalion of the marine corps, num
bered about 600 men. Of these, 200
were killed or wounded. The others
were taken prisoners by 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 or
along the waterfront. Many govern
ment buildings were damaged. Includ
ing the treasury, the foreign office and
the departments of public works and
telegraphs.

stood that Justice Charles II. Hughes
was slated for that honor.
In the last two or three days, bow
ever, it became known that a change
in the head of the Supreme Court
slate might be made.
Some of the President's closest ad
visers argued with him that Justice
Hughes' experience at the bar had
not been sulllclent to. warrant his pro
motion at this time to the highest
judicial position In the country.
Justice White has been on the Su

the oldest jurist in commission whose
age Is less than 70.
