HOPE Of Securing Wealth From

Little did the duke Of Medina-Sido-

set sail from the Tagus on May %.
1883, that his great galleon, the Flor
encia. would be sunk of Tobermory,
on the coast Of Scotland, and would
be supplying treasure trove to adven-
turous spirits more than three centu-
ries later in the year Of grace 1919.
The Florencia, which was peculiarly
reported to be filled with gold, jewels
and silver plate. fed northward with
her sister vessels in frantic attempt
to get hack to Spain by rounding the
north Of Scotland after the fateful war
council had decided to abandon the
unequal fight in the narrow seas OF the
English channel. This was the deci-
sion which caused Sir Francis Drake
to write jubilantly to Walsingham on
July 81: There was never anything
pleased me better than the seeing the
) enemy flying with southerly wind to
the northward. We have the Span

The doomed ship had reached To-
bermory when MacLean Of Morven by

resultant explosion scattered the ves-
sci and her contents far and wide over
the sea bed. The immense wealth
which she was believed to have on
board has from that time to this ex-
ercised over many minds as potent a
fascination and spell as ever was
welded by dreams Of discovering the
treasures hidden by the buccaneers
who sailed the southern seas.

pound class, or light middle weight.
Two men are entered in each class,
and Mr.. Shimmon is the second man

TEN STATES TO LOSE
MEMBER OF CONGRESS
After Mex Apportionmen Vermont
VIII Have Only One Member of
the Lower House.

Washington, July 27.-Unless the
membership of the House is increased
from ABS to at least 500 to meet the in
creased population shown by the 1920
census, 10 states will lose one or mere
representatives, according to Repre-.
sentative Siegel, Of New York, chair.
man Of the census committee which
will frame ,he new Apportionment
Bill. Those states are:
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, which
will lose two congressman each: and
Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland
Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia
which VIII lose one congressman
each. H.tu 't
Mr., Siegel explains that if the
House membership is retained at its
present figure, it will be necessary to
increase the population basis in each
congressional district beyond the
2ll,00O or major por lion thereof now
fixed. If this done, he says, the 10
states named will lose one or more
OF the present districts because their
populations have not increased in
proportion to those of other states.
On the basis of the es fmated pop
uiatlon of l06,000,00O for the whole
country in 1920. an increase Of approx
imately 100000 in 10 years. Mr..
Siegel says 65 or 66 new seats in the
House must be created if the 10
states are to re ain their present mum
erical representation. While prece-
den. warrants the increase, Mr.. Siegel
declares there is strong opposition
to it on the part of some of the pres
ent representatives., while others fav
or reduction to as few as 800 mem.
bers.
Mr.. Siegel expects the work of fran
ing the new apportionment bill in ac.
ccrd with the new population to be-
gin with the reconvening of Congress
in December and he anticipates that
the measure will be passed early in
1921
Every decade since 1890, with the
single exception of 1870, the House
membership has been enlarged to
keep pace with Ihe growing popula.
tion. Now the House floor is crowd.
ed when all members are present;
seats nearly fill the chamber; the old
individual desks have been discarded
and an increase in membership prob.
ably will have to be solved by anrrow
ing the width of the seats.
Ten years ago the House member
ship was increased from 391 to 435
on the basis of a population of 1892
266 and the only excep don to such a
procedure occurred in 1S40 when 10
congressman were knocked cut by
the apportionmens the membership
being fixed at 232 after having been
242 for 10 years.
The last apportionment kept intact
the numerical strength of all state
delega ions besides providing for Ger
tain increases, but even then several
congressional districts fell short of
the maximum basis of 211, 900 popu.
lation.
