BUENOS AIRES, July 31.—Reports reaching here from southern Brazil state that the Brazilian rebels, ousted from Sao Paulo and fleeing mnorth- west, aim to cut their way through the front of the federal forces and then swing south through thé states of Paran and Santa Catherina into Rio Grande do Sul, the home state of their leader, Gen. Lopez. Sympathy with the revolutionary movement in this state is said to be strong, notwithstanding the fact that Gov. Boorges pledged his support to the federal government. Gen. Lopez is said to count on gathering sufficient forces en route to enable him to take Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul, and es- tablish & government there. The | rebels are reported to have succeed- in getting away from Sao Paulo with artillery, munitions and other war materials. A dispatch from Rio Janeiro to La Nacion says the finance committee of the Brazillan Chamber of Deputies has drawn up a bill which proposes & moratorium for the state of Sao Paulo. Under the provisions of the measure payment of all bills due be- tween July 3 and the date of the | signing of the moratorium decree by the President would be days.

Chief Justice McCoy has dismissed a suit in equity brought by James McDonald, jr., for the construction of a clause in the will of his father, James McDonald, former Standard Oil magnate, who died in 1915. The court held that the clause in question did no injury, as it was plain that the deceased intended to provide for his grandchildren, even though he did so in a pecullar fash- ion. The order of the comrt is in line with a decision rendered by the chief justice some months ago, and which the son sought to have réconsidered.
