TALKING OF APPORTIoNMENr.
Colorado Man Not Satisfied with 357
Member House.

Washington, Jan. 5.-After dispOs-
ing of the Olmsted resolution yester-
day the house took up the apportion
ment bill. Hopkins opened the de-
bate in a careful explanation of his
bill He stated that the majority of
the census committee favored keeping
the membership down TO the present
number, 357, from considerations OF
economy and intelligent legislation.
Shafroth of Colorado wanted Hop
kins to explain how it was that Colo
RADIO would gain one representative
under the system adopted if the total
number was 356 or 35S, but would not
if it were 357.
Hopkins replied that the fact which
Shafroth cited was what was called
years ago the Alabama paradox"
Any system, he said. would not deal
out exact justice to every state. The
membership was arbitrarily fixed at
3j1. which made the basis of repre-
sentation 2OS, ,S6S Dividing the popu-
lation of the states by this division
80 members were assigned. The 9th
er twenty-five were assigned to those
states having the largest major frac-
tions The states which We're oppos-
ing this bill. he said. were those
which lost representatives under its
operation. =
Sbafroth followed. citing the case
of Colorado. which would get an addi-
tional member if the house was to
consist of $50 or 35S. but would lose
the additional member at 357, to show
that the system upon which the bill
was predicated was unjust. He con-
tended also that a larger house was
not a menace to legislation and cited
the popular assemblage of European
parliaments TO show that a larger
house would not be cumbersome.

But One of the Ill-Fated
Crew Known So Far
to Be Saved.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-The steam
er Lauqua, which left this city yester-
day for San Diego with a cargo of
general merchandise, was wrecked
last night on Duxbury reef just out
side of the Golden Gate. ALI on board
with the exception OF Chief Engineer
Burrill, who was washed ashore on an
overturned boat after being in the
water two hours, are believed to have
perished.
Details Are Measre.
Details are meagre, but it is known
that there were thirty or forty persons
on board the vessel.
How the disaster occurred is OF
known. but it is probable the vessel
drifted too near the reef in the haze
that overspread the water and WAS
thrown on the rocks by the swell. She
is total loss.
Position OF Sunken Craft.
The Lauqua lies upright on the
reef. Men are seen on the deck.
Seventeen people were on the vessel
when she left here. two passengers
and Is in the crew.
1t appears now that only one life
was lost, a sailor being killed while
attempting to land in small boat.
Two men were landed safely last
night, leaving but IA people now on
board. They made no attempt to get
ashore, but wait the arrival of the
fe saving crew from San Francisco.
