HOUSE Is EXPANDING
Apportionment Bill Just Passed
Gives Membership of $50.
Act VIII Not Go Info Eject Until After
the Third Day of March, 1905
Table Showing New APP
portlonment.

Under the terms of the apportion-
ment bill, just passed by the house,
the membership of 1856 goes into eff
feet after the third day OF March,
1903. The congress elected last No.
yember goes into office theore tically
on March 4 next, and expires by linn
itation with the conclusion of the
third day Of March, 1903. That, which
is the Fifty-seventh congress, Of
course. has a membership of $50. The
congress to be chosen under the new
apportionment of $50 will be elected
in November, 1902, and although the
term of Office will begin on March 4,
1903, the meeting will be held the
first Monday in December following.
1t is believed the senate will undoubt-
eddy pass the apportionment bill pro-
viding for 3s6 members of the house
inasmuch as that number prevents
any loss of representation by any sin
gle state, and thus there is scarcely
any chance for combination
against il.
The system of apportionment is un-
thought of the wisdom of increasing
the membership of the house. The
number of 1856 is arrived at by taking
the ratio of one representative to
194,1s2. This gives 36o representatives
on an even division, but it leaves four
states with no representative at all
and p having remainders which are
more than one-ha,f OF the ratio.
These are added so as to make the
total membership 3s6. This is not
the system recommended by the cen
sus Office and used by Mr.. Hopkins
Ii is what is known as the compound
ratio. which recognizes all majority
fractions and which entirely elm
mates all the curious paradoxes seen
in the census Office method.
The official membership of the
house by states under the new appor-
tionment is as follows:

NAVAL STATION APPROVED.
sharp Dispute Between Naval Omcers
Over the Puget sound Plant
Settled.

There has been a row among naval
officers over the equipment of the
torpedo boat Goldsborough, which
was built by Portland (Ore.) firm
Rear Admiral Hichborn. chief con-
structor of the navy, was anxious to
have the boat equipped for service at
the Puget Sound naval station. The
other members of the board of con-
struction, to which board the ques-
tion was submitted. recommended
the boat be sent to San Francisco.
Hichborn took the position that
there was a great deal of work re-
naming at the Mare Island navy
yard, which is near San Francisco,
and that il could not be possible TO
fit the Goldsborough out at that
yard. After some considerable con-
troversy over the matter Secretary
Long directed the Goldsborough to be
sent to Puget Sound station. where
the torpedo boat Rowan has just been
fitted out for service.
Some of the officers who were
beaten in this discussion secured tele-
graphic orders from the navy de-
partment detailing Capt. Henry Glass
to make an inspection of the Rowan
and the facilities at the Puget Sound
station for doing such work The
assignment of Capt. Glass to this duty
was a surprise to the bureau of con-
struction. and the charge is now
made that there has been some I'M
derhanded work on the part of high
naval officers to secure an official re-
port. the tenor of which was expect
ed to show that the Rowan was in a
bad way and the Puget Sound sta
tion in an inadequate condition
Capt. Glass report has been received
in Washington. and it shows not only
that the Rowan was fully and prop
erly equipped. but that the Puget
Sound station is in every way adapted

TOOLE WILL AID VAN SAINT
GOVERNOR OF MONTANA OPPOSED
TO RAILWAY TRUST.
Ready to Use Any Legal Means at His
Command Against

HELENA, Mont, November Ex-Governor
Toole last night replied to the invitation
of Governor Van SAINT to attend the con-
ference of governors of northwestern
states to agree upon concerted measures
to prevent the consolidation of railroads
under the joint ownership of the Northern
Securities Company.
Governor Toole said in part: eff you
have rightly interpreted the purpose of
this organization as it relates to the state
of Minnesota, there would seem to be 10
doubt but that such consolidation is a vio-
latton of the spirit, if not the letter of our
constitution, bnt aside from prohibiting
the consolidat ton of parallel or competing
lines our Aatute provides that every per-
son, corporation, stock company or ,asso-
C0tion of-persons in this state who d.
rectly or indirectly, combine or form what
is known as a ,Tust, or tend to create a
transportation OF any articles is punish
able by imprisonment in the state prison
for not exceeding five years, or by a fine
not exceeding $4,000, or both. Every cor
poration violating the provision of this
section forfeits to the state all it's property
and franchises and in the case of a for
eIgn corporation 1t is prohibited from car
rying on business in the state.
Il am net sufficiently advised at this
time to indicate what remedies are avail
able to defeat this consolida ton and its
in this state, but whatever lawful methods
are available will be employed and to the
extent of our power our co-opera ton may
be relied upon

Captain Diamond Convicted Of Ne
glect Of Duty.
TEE OUTCOME OF A NOTED Case
He Paid $1,000 in Preference to
Going to Prison.
SENTENCE WAS FOR A YEAR

ALBANY, n. Y, November 21.-Police
Captain Thomas J. Diamond of New York,
who was put on trial here on a change of
venue from New York county, was today
found guilty on the charge of neglect of
duty in having failed to suppress disorderly
houses in his precinct
Captain Diamond was sentenced to pay a
nne OF $1,000 or to be imprisoned for one
year in the Albany county penitentiary. The
fine was paid.
The jury was out all night and took twen-
ty ballots, in the first of which there were
eight votes for conviction and four for ac-
qulttal. A decision was reached at .
o'clock am.
Comment of the Judge.
In passing sentence Judge Herrick spoke
of the fact that conviction meant to the
captain that after seventeen years as an
unusually vigilant and intelligent officer
he must now begin his career in life anew.
For the benefit of police officers, and for
the public WELL the judge explained a
seeming distinction between the punish
ment OF Bissert, Captain Diamonds ward
man, who was recently convicted of accept
ing protection money" from keepers Of
disorderly houses and sentenced to five
years and six months in state prison, and
the comparatively mild sentence imposed
on the captain, that while 1t had been sup
posed the latter received a portion of the
money collected by the wardman no evil
ueHce III support OIL tnat SuppoSltlon mad
been adduced.
The judge also spoke of the fact that
disorderly houses by a large portion of
our community are regarded as necessary
evils in large cities, and that police Off
Gals wink at their continuance and allow
them to violate the law as long as they do
not haunt their violations of the law be-
fore the public" Without expressing any
opinion as to whether this tolerance Of this
class of houses Is morally right or wrong
the court said that lit Is something that is
done probably by every police official in
every large city in the state, and that there
is not police captain probably in any pre-
cinct in the city of New York, or in the
city of Albany for that matter, that might
not be convicted for exactly the same
crime that you have been convicted Of.
History of the Case.
NEW YORK, November 27.-Captain Dia-
mond was indicted by the grand jury on
August IL for willful neglect of duty. After
several technical moves by counsel for the
accused motion for a change of venue
was made and granted in October.
1t was stated at police headquarters to-
day that under the law the police commits
sioner was required to take cognizance of
Captain Diamonds conviction for INSIDE
meanor and place him on trial in the de-
partment for his offense. Commissioner
Murphy said he would take no action until
he had been officially notified of the result

BLOW AT TRADES UNIONS.
Judge Mccarthy of Philadelphia
Makes an ImpOrtant Decision

Makes an Important Decision.
PHILADELPHIA, November 27-Judge
Mccarthy of the common pleas court has
issued an injunction in which he denies the
right of the Council of the Allied Building
Trades or it's agents to instigate strikes at
buildings where contractors employ labor
that is not affiliated with that organiza-
ton.
The decision has caused widespread COM
motion in the ranks of local trade union
lists, and it is probable that an appeal VIII
be taken to a higher court
Judge Mccarthy also denied the right of
the defendants to order contractors to dis
charge members of labor organizations that
are not affiliated with the Council of the
Allied Building Trades. Further, and spe-
officially, he ordered them to refrain from
threats, expressed or implied that chi
ployers would suffer loss by hiring the
pla intffs.
The case which resulted in the Injunction
was that of Erdman and others against
the Council of the Allied Building Trades
Until April 22 last the plaintiff had been
employed for many years by the local
plumbing firm of Hoban & DOYLE Under
threat of strike General Contractors Wells
& Wells of Chicago had the plaintiffs re-
moved from large Office building then in
course of erection. The plaintiffs were
members of the Plumbers League, an or
ganization not affiliated with the Building
Trades Council, and their places were taken
by United Association plumbers who
were members of the Building Trades
Council.

BY the order of Prosecuting Attorney
Hunt the police have taken charge of the
boilers at the wreck and will permit no one
to handle them until an inspection OF them
is made by the authorities. 1t is likely
that Prof. Cooley of the University of
Michigan will be called upon to conduct
the examination of the boilers, which will
probably be begun this afternoon. Many
theories are advanced as to the cause of
the explosion. 1t is the most commonly
accepted one that some latent physical de-
feet in the boiler was the cause. The Even
ing News quotes a competent engineer
this afternoon as saying that he is con-
yinced after examining the boiler as 1t
lay in the ruins, that it was burned above
the water line, right under one of the
Ranges and thereby so weakened that a
sudden throwing off of the power in one
of the departments was likely to develop
sufflcient pressure in two or three minutes
to cause a seam to break

Representatives Joy and Bartholdt of
Missouri were in conference a long time

the Missouri political squabble, and when
they left they did not hesitate to say that
Charles II. Smith would not be renominat-
ed by President Roosevelt as collector and
surveyor Of the port Of st. Louis They
have been among the leaders i'm the fight
against Smith and Richard Kerens, and
their conference was so satisfactory as TO
leave nosdoubti in their minds as to the
outcome.
The statement Is further made that Will
liam G.. Boyd, the anti-Kerens Candidate
to succeed Smith. will secure the nomina-
ton. If this turns out to be the fact Sec
rotary Hitchcock and those who stand with
him have succeeded in giving Richard
Kerens the hardest fall he ever had as
there is no evidence Of compromise In the
solution of the difficulty Boyd is the anti
Kerens candidate and a compromise would
have had to be on some other man.
The next fight will come up over the case

revenue. but the anti-Kerens people will
no doubt succeed In, naming his successor
and controlling the patronage from now on
