THE N'COWiS MEASURE.
Reported to the House from the Come
mittcc by its Author.


WAsHINGToN, May 3.-Representative Nc
Comas of Maryland today reported to the
house from the committee his bill to prevent
gerrymandering. The report is long and inr
cludes an elaborate review and discussion Of
the constitutional questions involved.
II says, in part, speaking of gerrymander.
ing: "At the last election for congressman
in Indiana, for instance-the majority vote
for congressman elected three representatives,
but the minority vote elected ten representa-
tives. Such gerrymandering is crime
against the general government and
the people of tho whole nation This bill
will at least compel the representation of tho
suppressed white minority in white states.
1t will check reckless gerrymandering in the
states of the black belt and make it easier for
representatives elected therein to obtain
certification of election. 1t will respect
equally states rights and the rights of the
United States II permits the states to con-
tinue to make regulations for the election OF
congressman, but warns the states that
national constitution has been adopted estab-
fishing a real and not a shadowy government
sovereignty of the people, rcposed in the
executive and congress, and that congress
will exercise its powers to make
or alter state regulation of the
time, place and manner of holding
elections for representatives in congress, TO
secure districts more compact as to territory,
more stable in duration and to secure greater
equality Of the population behind the rcpre-
sentatives in congress. These things tho
states have failed to do.
Tucker of Virginia submitted the report OF
the minority. After bitter criticism of the
BILL it says in part;
In this day the spirit of reform is restive.
1t would talse from the states the privilege Of
arranging their own congressional districts as
each might think best for its own people and
assign that right to congress against reason
precedent and the constitution itself # would
uproot the laws of sovereign states without
tutional acts of a partisan congress
This spirit of reform must be arrested or
consolidation, despotic and hopeless will be
our destiny. II must be checked, or upon
the mournful ruins Of state preponderance
will arise mammoth empire stretching its
broad arms from the Atlantic to the Pacifcj
an empire whose sway win dwarf imperial
Rome, boundless in its domain and limitless
in its authority: with no guide but its viii,
no restraint but its own discretion, no con.
stituton but its fiat, no law but its own
power, an empire deckcd with all the gor-
geous splcndors of centralized domain and
proudly welding the sceptre of its absolute
sway over the broken and crounching yi6-
Tins Of It's ruthless usurpations.n

New Bowling Game a
Success Baseball
and Sporting.

The unique game provided by the in
genious bowling committee of the Palma
Club for the tournament was rolled last
night and pleased and amused the
bowlers.
The alleys were pounded in a lively
ann and when Superintendent Hop
kins informed the boys who had set up
the pins thai they could 90 home they
fingered not, but went, as they felt inst
like it, for they had had a busy night.
1t was the opening night of the tourney
and the efforts OF the bowiers to make
strikes and spares were closely watched
by a large audience. who regard the new
game as an excellent addition to the list,
Us it develops u bowler's skill or accur-
acy in delivering the ball.
1t is estimated that 200 trials were
made, BIT only twenJy-sfx records were
fifteen was the maximum number OF a
bowling total that would be entered.
This limit will be reduced ere long.
The bowler's aim Is to send down the
pins with the fewest number of balls pos
sible. He begins at alley No. l, and as
soon as he has sentxa all the pins down,
goes to alley No. 2 and so on until he has
dropped the ten pins on alley No. 6.
The best score made last night is to the
credit of j. Rich, who put down the sixty
pins with nine balls. He also made the
lowest total for five games, and thus lead
for the first prize. His total was 56.
Hathaway is second with SO. w. Clarke,
Jr., has u total of A. in -four scores. DR..
Edge started, but reaching the unlucky
thirteen at his first trial. he quit.
