.RE-APPORT|ONMENT
 BIGGER CONGRESS
HOUSE WILL HAVE MEMBERSHIP
 OF 435.
That Will Save Any State From
 Loss.

Washington, Dec. 27-The coming congressional reappOrtionment will provide total membership of 435 in the house of representatives, accord ing to present indications. This would mean one member to every 211,7O0 Of population.
 Chairman Crumpacker of the house committee on the census and his as- sociates have been digesting the sta tistical calculations of the census bu- reau to show the effect of various systems of apportionment on the rep resentation of the different states. Of the sixteen members of the commit tee. eleven are from states which would lose one or more representa- tives if the present number of the house is maintained
 It is likely these states will not only be protected. but as MT. Crum- packer and the others believe, an in crease to 435 will solve the problem before the house. that being the least number that will save every state from any loss in its delegation.

 The summary of this alleged manipu- lation follows and the statement con tinues: As a result, when the present investigation began the Title x Guaran- tee company of Rochester, instead of assets consisting of approximately s1SO,OOO and practically no liabilities, now owes s5O.OOO and has against its bonds and stocks in the Robin concerns whose value is approximately S105.000. This is net shrinkage of about $125,- 900. to be reduced. of course, by the ultimate returns from the Robin se- curities.
 Fortunately, the Rochester company is not actively in these and the inter ests of the policyholders are not af- fected. There is undoubtedly a con siderable shrinkage in the assets of the Aetna Indemnity company, whose small surplus is unquestionably wiped out and whose capital is impaired. Whether this company will be rehabili- tated or reinsured has not been de- termined'
 The directors of the Aetna in their statement issued tonight explain that "as soon as knowledge of the manipula- tions by Robin came to their attention they notified the insurance department of Connecticut, which cO-operated with the New York department in making a full and detailed examination of the financial transaction sof the affiliated

him that he possessed no envelope In
Jim's or Betty's handwriting addressed
to Major Cadwallader Hunter. The
fellow would hardly be so mildly In

trumped up claim Of connection.
Cadwallader Hunter could swallow

Major Cadwallader Hunter would
probably have been on one of the in

Undismayed by the chilling silence,
