TO STOP LOBBYING.
Circular Letter Sent by Secretary Root
to Each Staff Department.

Secretary Root has undertaken to pre-
vent further opposition to his plan for the
reorganization of the army on the part OF
officers of the staff departments, most of
whom strongly object to the provisions of
the measure relating to their respective de-
partments. He has sent circular letter
to the chief of each staff department call
ing attention to that section of the army
regulations which declares that efforts to
influence legislation affecting the army
should never be made except through regu-
lar military channels" and which also
directs that all communications that officers
de sire sent to Congress shall be forwarded
in accordance with the above provision.
1t is said that all the staff departments,
except the adjutant generals, are opposed
to the provisions of the pending bill, and
that representatives of each have attacked
the bill openly and otherwise. The Secre-
tary's purpose, it is said, is to prevent en-
tirely, if possible. the growing practice of
lobbying on the part of officers of the
army, for against, lo legislation in which
they interested. Similar efforts have
been made in the past, but without success.
as 1t is impossible to interdict intercourse
between officers Of the army and navy and
members Of Congress.

SIZE OF THE NEXT HOUSE.
Preliminary Action by the House
Census Committee.

Census Committee.
The House committee on census began its
consideration OF the reapportionment bill
today, and by vote Of to 5 expressed a
preference for leaving the representation OF
the House of Representatives at 357, as at
present. This vote was not considered a
finality, however, as several members were
not present, but was taken mainly as a pre-
lminary test of The sentiment Of members.
There a number of bills before the
committee, but the main discussion turned
on the Hopkins bill. keeping the total OF
the House as at present, and the Burietgh
bill, increasing the total. the vote was
taken on this issue between leaving the
House as at present or increasing, without
reference to any particular bill
In order to permit absent members to be
present and vote the committee adjourned
until :. o'clock Monday. Chairman Hopkins
says he hopes favorable report will be
agreed upon at that time. in which case he
will report the btll at once and endeavOr to
take 1t up n the House next Tuesday.
The advocates; of increasing the member
ship Of the House do not consider the vote
of today as IN any way decisive, as one Of
the absent members was quoted at the
meeting as favorable to an increase and
the other absent member is sad to be
doubtful, but rather inclined to an increase.
After the. vote had been taken today those
seeking an increase moved an adjournment
in order to postpone final action until the
absenteeS were present. They succeeded in
this, carrying the adjournment against the
wishes of those favorable to leaving the
representation as at present. The change
was caused by the arrival of Mr.. Russell
of Come ct cut who did not, however, eX-
press his views for or against an increase.
