CONGRESSIONAL APPOR.
TIONMENT.
The Size of the House Under
Varying Bases of Appoint.

ment.
Washington Cor, 10Th, Raleigh News and OBJ
server.
The population of the country
being now officially known, work
will be begun in the lower house
looking to a new congressional
apportionment. The bill will be
put through during the present
winter, beyond a doubt.
Representative Crumpacker, of
Indiana, chairman of the COM
mlttee on the census, has called
upon the Census Bureau for GER
tain tabulations showing the size
OF the House under varying
bases of apportionment from
200, 600 to 100000.
1t the basis is put as low as
215, 900 it will mean increasing
the House membership to 43O. If
it is placed as high as 100000
the House will be reduced to
membership of 1888, whereas it is
now 39l. 1t will require a ratio
of one member to each 235, GOO
population to keep the House at
its present size.
Reduction in the representa-
ton Of State is always fought.
The people of a State are usually
elared over gaining a new con-
gresham. and as bitterly resent
losing a member, for it looks like
going backward, and invariably
brings howl.
If the ratio is made 215,OOO
the following States will gain one
repl esentative each: Alabama,
Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Hi
nois, Louisiana, Michigan, Min
nesota, North Dakota. Oregon,
, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dako-
ia, Montana, Utah and West
: Virginia.
These States would gain two
members each: Massachusetts,
New Jersey. Texas and Wash
7 ington. Three each would be
gained by California and Okla
homa: four by Pennsylvania and
7 five by New York. On the other
hand, Iowa, Maine and Missouri
7 would lose one each. The othe,
r States would retain their presen,
membership.
A strong sentiment has devel.
= oped to keep the House member
ship down to 400, allowing a gair
of only nine members. The
= adoption of 100000 as the basis
= of apportionment would accom-
plish this result.
B.. At this ratio the following
t States would add to the present
: representation: New York, 3
!, California, 2; Washington, 2; Ok
: lahoma, 2; New Jersey, l; Massa
g chusetts, /; North Dakota. l
e Oregon, 1; Pennsylvania, 1; Tex
!. as, /; Utah, /; South Dakota, l
= Montana, l.
O A reduction would occur in thu
S representation of the following
States: Iowa, l; Kansas, 1
Kentucky, l; Maine, 1; Missouri
l; Nebraska, 1; Tennessee, l
Virginia, /; Wisconsin, l.
&c The larger the ratio is fixed
= the greater the gain of the State
west of the Mississippi river an
the greater the loss of New Eng
land. If the ratio was placed a
,e 215, 900 the East would gain 2
IS members and the West 16; q
" 100000 the West would gain l

MILLER IS SHAMMING.
Is the Belief of Those Who Have
Talked to Him.

Wal1a Walla, Wash, March IS
That James Joy Miller, missing quar-
terback on last years University of
Michigan football eleven, who was To-
Gated on a fruit farm near here work
ing as a common laborer. remembers
his past record on the gridiron AS we'll
as all his old experiences, is believed
by those who have interviewed him.
His actions and the fact that he has
received mail regularly from friends in
Michigan, leads the Investigating au-
thorities to believe that his apparent
loss of memory is only feigned.
Pressed with questions by those
working on the case, Miller has per-
sistently denied his identity, asserting
that he is only an acquaintance of the
missing football man.
The first clew that the man was Mil
Ter came through the postal authori-
ties. Miller has called regularly at
the postoffice in Wal1a Walla and ask
ed for mail for Miller. He explained
that his name was Miner and that
addressed to him and hold it.
Miller was in a room with a dozen
common laborers, seated at a long
table and playing cards by lamplight
when found last night.
Responding to several questions Mil
Ter said:
'I prefer not to talk about this mat
ter. It's none of the Iublic's business.
1 have written home and everything is
all right now. If father wants to make
any statement let it come from him."
Miller replied that he had not decided
what he would do.
'It all depends on circumstances"
he concluded

MADISON WAS THERE.
But BaIIinger Committee Adjourned to
Let Him Rest.

Washington, March 1S.-Owing to the
conditions prevailing in the house, It
was impossible to secure a quorum of
the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating
committee this morning and adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow at 10
O'Clock.
With singular devotion to duty that
challenged admiration. Representative
Madison, Of Kansas, the "insurgent"
member, dragged his weary feet from
the house end of the capitol over to the
senate office building and poked his
head into the room where the commit
tee was in conference with the lawyers,
just as both had given up hope of OBJ
tanning a quorum.
81 haven't had any sleep, but I guess
I can stay a little WHILE" announced
Mr.. Madison.
After a further conference it was de-
cided that inasmuch as it would be
practically impossible for Madison to
remain in the hearing an adjournment
until tomorrow would be advisable.
Chairman Nelson called the committee
together, however, and admitted into
evidence several documents which the
committee asked Chief Engineer Davis
of the reclamation service to furnish.

STATE WIDE STRIKE.
VIII Go Into Effect Monday Unless
Philadelphia Situation Ends. 81,

Philadelphia, March 1S.-A1though
yesterdays many conferences were ap-
parently fruitless all hope of an early
settlement of the street car strike has
not been abandoned The principal
hitch in bringing the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit directors and the men
together is over the question of rein
statement of all the strikers including
the 175 men who were discharged be-
fore the strike was declared. If an
agreement can be reached on this ques-
ton it is believed the union will in
struct all it's men to return and then
appoint committees to take up griev-
ances with the company.
From the employers point of view
the general strike situation is a little
better than it was. Men are slowly re-
turning in some industries but the
number still idle is large. President
Greenawalt of the State Federation of
Labor, has announced that the state
wide strike would go into effect on
Monday unless the strike is settled be-
fore that day.

California Congressman Will
Speak for Taft.
EXPECT BIG CROWD.
Marks Beginning of the Con-
gressiOnal Campaign.
Subject VIII Be "a Year of
Taft"

Duncan c. McKinlay, standpat con-
gresham from California. will open
the congressional campaign for the
regulars in the First district of Kansas
with a speech at the Auditorium to-
night. Marshall's band will furnish
the music and a large crowd is ex-
pected to hear the distinguished and
eloquent visitor. McKinlay spoke at
the last banquet of the Kansas Day
party regulars, who predominated at
that function. McKinlay fired the
opening gun for the regulars at Olathe
last night in a tariff speech.
The subject of tonight's address will
be, "A Year of Taft" The admins
tration could hardly have selected a
better ambassador than the eloquent
Californian. A polished gentleman,
dealing in facts and figures set forth
in an interesting way, McKinlay is sure
to present his case in able fashion.

any faction of the Republican party.

fornia to tell the people of Kansas the
position of the national administration
with reference to these great ques-
tions."
The tariff will be the main question
discussed by Mr.. McKinlay in his four
teen Kansas addresses. McKinlay will
speak in the Fifth district next week
and Judge ReeS, who is the inSurgent
candidate in that district will reply to
his arguments.
Mr.. McKinlay will not arrive in To-
peka until $40 this evening. He will be
be met at the Santa Fe station by
members of the county central COM
mittee and taken to supper. He will be
escorted to the Auditorium by this
committee. The meeting will begin at
o'clock sharp. Chairman John CLANCY
of the committee is expecting a large
crowd tonight from all sections of the
First congressional district. He has
heard from many counties who will
deal leaders at the state house have ex-
pressed their intention of hearing the
address tonight.
In defining his position on present
issues, Mr.. McKinlay made the fol-
lowing statement in an interview.
my firm conviction is that an hon
est effort was made by the admins
tration to reach the economic basis of
new conditions that have been
brought about. Conditions. it should
be understood, have changed since
are in an unsettled state. But TAX
ing everything into consideration

possible to meet and adjust matters.

no one ever was able to understand

He said, THAT is not correct nor have

mistake to quote me as being for or
against any mans candidacy. This
whole matter is one that will come

in my Judgment, be great mistake
to permit the senatorial matter to

confronts the Republicans Of Maine is
that of carrying the State at the next
election by a rousing time major
