A Report ON Gerrymanderiny

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Representative
McComas, OF Maryland, to-day reported to
the House from the committee his bill to
prevent gerrymandering. The report is
long and includes an elaborate review and
discussion of the constitutional questions
involved 1t says, in part, speaking of
gerrymanderiug, at the last election for
congressman in Indiana; "For instance
the majority vote for Congressman elected
Ihree Representatives, but the minority
vote elected ten Representatives Such
seIISHiahderlng is crime against the

whole nation. This bill will at least com.
