The Pennsylvania baseball team was
out for a lively practise at Aala Park
yesterday afternoon. The boys thor
oughly enjoyed the land exercise after
being aboard ship so long and are
anxious for a game.
There is some talk of a game be-

local team next Monday or Tuesday,
and the sailors are eager for this to
be arranged. As previously stated,
there will be no official league baseball

HOUSE OUTGROWING
CAPITOL QUARTERS
How to Provide for Lncreas-
ing Membership Is a
Puzzle.

When Congress ordered the construc-
ton OF the two great Office buildings,
one for the Senate and the other for
the House, which are now being COM
pleted, it admitted that 1t has out
grown the Capitol building. Now there
is a revival Of concern lest It has out
grown the CaDitors facilities for ses-
siOns.
The House chamber has long been
crowded uncOmfOrtably in order TO seat
the nearly 400 members OF that body.
Each member has a desk and a chair
on the floor, and the available space Is
all occupied. Oklahoma came in with
i've members recently. and was taken
care OF. The Philippines were given
two commissioners with seats on the
floor. But there isn't any possibility OF
much more expansion.
Now. the census OF 1910 is looming
close in sight. It Is going to indicate
a big increase IN population, and will be
followed by an increase IN the number
OF representatives.. This Is inevitable
for every census thus lar has neces-
STATED this. Reduction OF the number
Of members has always been found ut
terly impossible. Increase Of the ratio
Of representation prevents the growth

try grows.
But some States grow a good deal
in decade. Others grow little or not
at all No state will consent 10 an ap-
portionment which reduces its number
OF Representative. So in order that thu
