McComas on Rcapportionmcnt,

New York, Nov. Ex-senator McCo-
mas, Of Maryland, Is quoted In a dis
patch TO the Tribune from Washington
as saying Of the approaching short ses-
sion OF Congress:
Il am informed that the House will
pass re-apportionment bill. ! hope
that this measure may increase the
unit Of representation rather than the
number OF members. II is better 10 have
one member for every 10000 people
than TO have large Increase In the
membership Of the House
On the suggested diminution Of repre-
sentation from the Southern states, he
said In part:
1T would seem wise 20 await the de-
cision Of the Supreme court OF the
United States which must pass upon
the grandfather class Of the constitu-
tional amendments adopted In LOuisl-
ana and North Carolina before any ac-
ton is taken il is safe 90 assume that
the Supreme court Will shed some light
on this subject and we viii thus be fur
nished with far more information than

cussion at this time

garding the disposition OF the bill un-

WINGED that American control must be
