ezuela crumbled in day like house
built of cards and not piller has
remained standing. Even his own
brother, Celestino, after turning over
his guns and ammunition to the ap-
pointee of President Gomez, took to
ignominious fight into Columbia.
Mot one member Of Castro's family
has raised up his voice for him, for
it was his custom to treat them more
or less as he did the foreign diplo-
mats and his ministers.
Castro inspired fear and nothing
else in Venezuela. With his absence
the fear disappeared and the reaction
against his rule, which began Sun
day. the 18th, was consummated on
the following Saturday.
1t was not only the most COM
plete political upheaval in Venezuela
but the most popular and most blood

Gomez and his friends imagine that
could they bow to the wishes of the
masses and save the nation from its
industrial ruin, brought about by

HOUSE CROWDS HAVING
READRARE BIT time Of IT

Washington, D. c., Jan. 5.-Drastic
measures were being considered by the
Perkins special committee of the house
appointed to recommend to the house
action in defense of the body in reply to
the criticism made by the president in
his annual message in referring to the
secret service legislation of last year.
After meeting Of that committee to-
day; report spread that the commit
tee would recommend to the house that
that portion of-his annual message re-
ferring to the secret service be ex-
plunged from the record. s.~... -,
Another report was that the recent
message in reply to, the request of the
house for more information on the sub
ject would be returned to the chief ex-
cutive. Neither report could be con-
frmed, as members of the committee
refused to discuss the probable action.
b.. A report probably will be agreed
upon by the committee at meeting to-
morrow, but Chairman Perkins said to-
day that no report would be submitted
to the house tomorrow. =.
1t is believed the house will be called
on to take action Thursday, or by the
end of the week at the most. .,-'.
One of the most interesting debates
of the session is expected when the re-
port of the commission is brought in
to the house. Friends of the president
will resist any drastic action that may
be recommended. -. "a. d,
