General Bliss Testifles Against the

 Brigadier.
 washington, Dec. A--when the Senate Committee on Military AffairB resumed it's Investigation of the Wood case to- day more than asi hour was consumed in discussion of some of the evidence sub mitted yesterday and also the question of summoning witnesses asked for by opponents of General Wood.
 Colonel Edgar S. Dudley, professor of law and history at West Point Military Academy who was judge advocate gem eral at Havana during General Woods administration as Governor general had been summoned to appear before the com mittee too-day to supplement testimony given yesterday. He submitted q copy of hts opinion. rendered in Havana at the request of General Wood. concerning the application of the Jai AIai Company for concession to operate an amusement ampitheater. This opinion declared that the concession should not be granted on the ground that 1t would be a violation of the Foralxer amendment.
 The committee decided that Colonel Dud- ley would not be needed again. and Gen. eral Tasker H. Bliss was recalled as the first witness iri to-day's proceedings.
 General Bliss said In reply to dues- tions that he strongly opposed the ad- mission without payment of duty of the silver service purchased in New York by the Jal Alai He received mandatory instructions from General Wood to admit the silver service, however, and obeyed them. Alex Fry. who was commissioner of education in Cuba under General Wood has been summoned to testify before the committee.

Question of Reducing South's Re-

Question of Reducing South's Re-
 presentation Discussed.
 Washington, Dec. 9.-Repubiican Na- tional Committee men are arriving in Washington for the quadrennial meeting which will open Friday at the Arlington. With this vanguard of the men who de- eide the date and location of the next Ma tiOnal Convention come the convention boomers.
 The question of representation in the next convention as expressed in circular letters sent out by General Brayton of Rhode Island, is a topic of no little in- terest to the committeeman. Most of the committeeman who have arrived agree that they have no authority to say what the basis of representation shall be in the call to be issued for the convention. The most the Committee can do. they say, Is to- pass a resolution recommending that a basis which win reduce the number of delegates from the South be adopted.
 This view of the situation in consider able part is shared by Postmaster Gen eral Payne. vice-chairman both of the National Committee and of the Executive Committee. MT. Payne is the father of the idea for reduced representation and urged 1t stoutly at the Philadelphia con- vention
 "I still favor my plan and believe it ought to be adopted" said MT. Payne to- night, ''but l am aware 1t is a matter which the convention must pass upon. The committee cannot take any decisive action.''
 The talk about the date for the conven- tion seems to favor the Tuesday nearest the midle of June. The sentiment in fa- vor of Chicago as the convention city in- creases so that among the delegates now here 1t is regarded as foregone conclu- sion that that city will be selected.
