LONDON, Feb. 9. (AP) Two
hundred persons were killed in the
fighting! at Oporto, says a Daily
Mall dispatch from Vigo, quoting
a newly) arrived traveler from the
center of the Portuguese revolt.
A bombj fell into the room in
the Grand -hotel, occupied by the
American consul,; who had left? the
room, only fire minutes previously.
The room was wrecked.
Those killed during the course
of the revolt included Lopez Taix
elda, director of Diario de Oporto;
Alvaro Castro, republican leader;
General Norton de Mattos, former
K, Moras, and General Soaaa Dial.
Manyf of the most important
buildings in Oporto, among them
the public library and postofflce,
were destroyed.
Official, silence on the situation
in Portugal waa broken today by
the Portuguese embassy, which
Issued a statement representing
that the Oporto Insurrection s had
been put down and that the Lis
bon outbreak was being dealt with
by loyal troops. No direct Inde
pendent; newt from Lisbon, 'how
ever, reached London all day while
Madrid reported that it also was
without definite news.
Declaring that the uprising at
,porta;iad been organised by trot-
fhicians who wero; involved, in the
HfOrolt pt May, 1928, the embassy
1 5crmmuniqLu,e declared; '
w "Loyal troops suppressed the
Oporto revolt on Monday."
Wlthiregard to the Lisbon out
break, x the ! embassy asserts it is
confined to a lew sailors, three
companies of republican, guards,
and a 'few civilians. The naval
arsenal Is in the hands of the in
surgents, , but is under attack, by
government troops, otherwise, u
is declared,, the country is quiet.
Spain has sent troops to watch
the frontiers In cooperation with
the Portuguese government and is
also sending some naval craft to
Portuguese waters.
News, dispatches from, Spanish
sources report that about 60 trere
killed and several hundred wound
ed in the fighting at Oporto. 1 A
rumor from Madridreached here
by way of Paris that the Portu
guese president, General Carmona,
was under arrest, but this is not
confirmed. General Carmona, it
is known, took part In the engage

"The construction of this pro

r The United States and her sis

..Great Britain and several other
members- of the court have sent

for membership, and their views
were, described at the state: de

closely to the conclusions' of -the
Geneva conference which pro
posed modification of the reser
vations adopted by the United
States, senate.
. The senate itself when it rati
fied the court protocol morja than
a year ago, stipulated that the
other members must accept the
American reservations before Am
erican onembership could become
effective, and President Coolidge
recently announced that if any for
eign nation sought modifications
of the senate program, he would
look upon the whole negotiation as
a closed incident.

; Body Today After Long '
Fight
Senator Norblad of Astoria
gained a signal victory at his hear
ing last night before - the Benate
resolutions -' committee on' the
Charges made against him by Sen
ator Joseph of Portland.
i The committee ruled adversely
on the resolution introduced by
Senator Joseph demanding that
Senator Norblad be removed from
the special committee appointed to
investigate the affairs of the state
ish commission. The report will
be returned to the senate today.
I It was charged by Senator Jos
eph at the time he introduced the
resolution; that Senator Norblad
was affiliated with the fishing in
terests ou the lorer Columbia
river and because of this fact was
not qualified to serve as a mem
ber of the investigating committee.
It also was alleged by Senator
Joseph that Senator Norblad had
refused to subpoena certain wit
nesses to testify at a public hear?
ing on the resolution, and had
used vnigar and course language
in conducting his examination of
persons called .to give testimony
before the committee.
Senator Norblad denied that he
was affiliated with the fishing in
eph, and read from, parts of the
teresta as charged by Senator Jos
testimony given at the public
hearing to show that he had used
neither abusive or course language
wb.il conducting the examination
of witnesses. .
Senator Norblad also denied
that he had lobbied at previous
siaions of the legislature for any
natters concerned in the Investi
gation at issue under the resolu
tion. It was voluntarily admitted
by Senator Norblad that he held
one share of stock in a packing
concern at Astoria and had acted
as attorney for the cooperative
fishermen there. ' His visits to
previous sessions of the legisla
ture, -he said, were in the role of
an attorney and not a paid lob
byist. The ' resolutions committee
found that the charges preferred
against Senator Norblad by Sena
tor Joseph were not substantiated

WASHINGTON. : Feb. 9. (AP)
-The McNary-Haugen equaliza
tlon fee bill, around which the
congressional fight over f arm i ret
lief has centered, waa given right
of way today in the house with
a vote expected next week.
The senate; ' which has been con
sidering -the measure for several
days, has agreed' to vote on it Fri
day. v
In the house, a resolution pro
viding for, immediate considera
tion of the bill, with general de
bate limited to 12 hqurs, was
adopted without' a record vote af
ter three hours of discussion.
Previously on a roll call the house
had rejected, 21 eto 146, a mo
tion designed to put the Curtis
Crisp proposal, which a number of
senators and representatives are
supporting, on an efiual legisla
tive footing. .
, In the senate, as consideration
of farm legislation con tinued, Sen
ator Wheeler, democrat, Montana,
served -notice that he would do
his utmost to prevent .final con
gressional action on the McFadden
branch banking bill until after the
McNary-Haugen measure is signed
by President Coolidge.
There were indications that he
would have the support at a num
ber of senators on both sides of
the chamber who declined to en
ter into a '.combination between
supporters of the farm and bank
ing measures to bring about the
application of the rule limiting
debate on both bills unletes agree
ments, fixing definite' dates for
votes cauid be had. '
Coupling with his. proposal a
warning that he would renew his
demand for an I investigation of
the forces operating to the disad
vantage of agriculture. Senator
Wheeler charged tl tat the chief ob
stacle to succesa fior the McNary
Haugen bill was the unfriendly
attitude ' of . the exjecutive branch
of the goyernmentj and he named
specifically Secretaries Mellon,
Jardine' and Hoover.
I In both the house and senate
t&e agricultural situation was por
trayed a one of the- most serious
problems ever to f alee the country,
a nd the McNary-Haugen bill-was
attacked and defen4od along the
lines which have followed in farm
