REAPPoRTIoNMENT PASSED.

Bill Increases Membership 70 433, Lsav-
ing Re-arran9ing to Legislatures.
Washington, April 28.-A bill provid-
Ing for the enlargement of the national
house Of representatives from 391 to
433 members, and the apportionment of
these members to the different states
on the basis OF the population shown by
the recent federal census, passed the
house early last evening after vain ef-
forts OF members OF both political
parties to amend it in important par
ticulars.
The proposed size of the house Is
Identical with that provided for in the
Crumpacker bill. passed by the house
at the last session Of congress- but not
acted upon by the senate. The Houston
bill. passed today, leaves to the legIs-
lature OF the different states the power
to re-arrange the congressional dis
tricta in their respective states, on
the4neW population basis Of one mem
Der for each 211;s77 Of inhabitants.
The two important amendments, pro-
posed today and defeated after long
debate were to put the redistrictinr
power in the hands Of the governors
Of states when the legislature had
failed to act, and to limit the house IN
the future to membership Of 43O or
433 leaving future reappointments to
the secretary of the department Of
commerce and labor.
Each amendment was vigorously
championed by the republicans, and had
somc democratic support. Mr.. Sherley
of Kentucky, first offered the "Crum-
packer amendment" as It Is known. to
restrict the size Of the house to 4so
is the future, and later Mr.. Crumpacker
submitted it again as part Of a formal
motion to recommit the bill to- the com
mittee on census to have the amend
ment put into 1t. In record vote on
this motion the democrat voted 1t
down 178 to 80. D
