TO VOTE TOMORROW
Division in the House on the
Reapportionment Bill.
Mr.. CRUMPACKER GIVES HIS VIEWS
Consideration of the Army Bill in
the Senate.
DISCUSSED BY MR.. KENNEY

Speaker Henderson today was again de-
tanned at his home by illness, and Mr..
DalZell (Pa) presided over the House. Be
fcre the debate upon the reapportionment
bill was resumed it was agreed that gen
eral debate upon the bill should close to-
morrow at 3 o'clock and that the final vote
should be taken before the adjournment
tomorrow.
Mr.. Kitchen (NCD. the first speaker to-
day, supported the Hopkins bill, but said
he would vote against the amendment re-
quirng the congressional districts in the
several states to be Contiguous and COM
pact" He said he did not believe Congress
had the power to designate the manner in
which the states should make up congress-
iOral districts. MI. Kitchen then replied at
some length to the speech made by Mr..
Linney tN.CD last Saturday. attacking the
southern democrats for DISTINGUISHING the
negro.
Mr.. Lacey Qowa) who followed Mr..
Kitchen. also supported the Hopkins bill.
Mr.. Crumpacker Qnd.). the member Of
the census committee who presented the
minority report in favor of reducing the
representation in southern states proper
uCnate to the abridgment of the fran
chise, then took the floor for an hour. AS
between the Hopkins and Burlefgh bills. he
pace with the growth of the country. He
argued that during recent years the in
fiuence of the House in legislation had
steadily diminished, a condition due to the
fact that the members Of the lower House
allowed themselves to be dominated by the
Senate and the chief executive. If the
membership was to remain stationary as
the years went on, its influence would con-
tinue to decrease.
He then developed his argument in favor
of reducing representation in certain south
ern states along the line of his report. He
pointed out the voting requirements in
louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and
South Carolina and adduced figures to show
that in Louisiana 43 per cent of her male
citizens over twenty-one years of age were
disfranchised: In Mississippi, AZ per cent;
IL North Carolina. "a per cent and in South
Carolina 43 per cent.
Mr.. Crumpacker was frequently inter-
rGpted by members of the delegations from
Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Mississippi. They besieged him with
questions and denied many of his state
ments.

LOCATED IN CHICAGO.
Harry NJ. Hook Wanted Here to An

Harry NJ. Hook Wanted Here to An
swer to Indictment.
Detective Frank Helan Of the local police
department left this city last evening for
Chicago to take charge of Harry NJ. Hook,
who has just been arrested in the windy

Of Columbia agent OF the knights Templar
and Masonic Life Indemnity Association,
and secured desk room in the Office of Mr..
H. l.. Christman, who is located at the
northwest corner Of 9th street and Penn
sylvania avenue. 1t is alleged that from
time to time he would present to Mr..
Chrtstman what purported to be promis-
sorry notes and dispose of the same to the
latter for amounts less than the face
value. When the notes fell due and Mr..
Chrfstman set about to collect them he
found, it is alleged, that the signature of
Mr.. s. w. Peques attached to one of the
notes was a forgery and that the names
on the other notes were fictitious.
Hook departed from Washington during
the year 1898. About two months ago the
Indictment against him was reported by
the grand jury and the police department
was requested by the United States attor-
ney for the District of Columbia to locate
the man. This. stated the officers have
succeeded in doing.
1t Is declared that Hook gave a number
of similar worthless notes to another party
during 1896 and 1897. but as three years
have elapsed since that occurrence he can
not now be prosecuted therefor.

velope in which he had placed the $40 note
When he failed to return the envelope was
opened, and the cashier learned that the
man had given her an envelope in which
two slips of paper had been substituted for
the money. The police were at once no.
titled.
