nouncement by Speaker Longworth
that he felt the measure deserved its
day in court.
He told a group who called at his

added, however, that he had no au
thority to force the rules committee

Chairman Smith of the irrigation
committee which reported the bill
told the speaker that the recent
withdrawal of Utah from the CONS

why the rules committee had not
granted preferred status. He haG re
ceived a letter from Governor Dern
of Utah yesterday be said, indicat~

Governor Dern was quoted by
Smith as saying that the chief OBJ
lection of his state would be re-
moved by adoption of the Cotton
amendment designed to put water
distribution features under the terms
OF the compact. This amendment
Smith added, would be accepted by
supporters Of the bill.
Mr.. Smith told Mr.. Longworth that
as speaker he was responsible for
the irrigation committee receiving
proper consideration and that in
view of -four years work on the
Boulder dam bill, the committee be-
lieved it was entitled to have it
brought before the house, having
approved it by IL to 3 vote.

LISBON, Portugal, Feb / (P.-Hun-
dreds of thousands of persons thronged
the streets of Lisbon today to see the
scenes of destruction wrought by the
artillery during the insurreetion which
was crushed Wednesday night after Sc
hours of fighting.
Troops are patrolling the capital, and
soldiers and police still are rounding
up rebels here and there. All the
leaders, with the exception of Com
mander Joao De Carvalhof, who led the
beseiged rebel force in the naval ar
senal, have surrendered or have been
captured. De Carvalhof escaped in a
motor boat.
The government has ordered the
streets cleared by G o'clock each eve

bers of the civilian organization, which
supplied with bombs, aided the rebels
All civilians found armed will be shot
Only one warship, the cruiser Car
valhao Araujo, supported the revolu-
tionaries and this was silenced by the
fortress guns after firing nine broad
sides.
Both the army and navy are appar-
emily loyal, and President Carmona, in
an interview, has declared that the
government feels better able to cope
with the problems of reconstruction.
Hope is expressed that the decisive
government victories both at Oportc
and here will end the cycle of revolu-
tionary movements with which Portu-
