ASOU|TH AND GEORGE
 DEBATE ON IRELAND
fRepubIlosn A. p, Leased Wirell

LONDON, March 30.-Herbert H. Asquith. former premier and advocate of a one parliament Ireland, took issue in the house of commons today on the home rule question with Premier Lloyd George. whose plan for two par liaments for Ireland MT. Asquith char acterized as absolutely unacceptable.
 MT. Asquith spoke today against the bill but, contrary to expectations, MT. Lloyd George deferred his remarks un- til tomorrow. The arguments take two principal directions. From the opponents of the bill that it is use- less to press the measure, as 1t is certain to be contemptuously rejected by the Irish people, and, from the SUD- porters of the bill that to grant self determination under existing condi- tions would he equivalent to consent ing to the proclamation of an Irish republic, which no sane government could permit

Indications were overwhelming to- night that the decision of the majority of the committee would be upheld by the assembly as whole and that the recommendations in the majority re- port that the socialists seats be de- clared vacant would be adopted. The size of the majority favoring these proposition was the only disputed subject tonight. It was reported that at least 90 votes, and possibly more than 100. would be cast for the expul- sion of the socialists.
 Majority Leader Simon L. Adler and Assemblyman Theodore Roosevelt let it be known today that they would op- pose the unsea ting of the socialists.

 WASHINGTON. March 30.-Concert- ed action to improve the freight car supply. especially coa1-carrying equip ment. has been taken by all railroads The movement. which is fostered by the American Railroad association. is intended primarily to aid in coal pro- duction, but officials said it served also, and in an important way, to re- locate cars on their home lines from which they were diverted and widely scattered during federal control.
 W. C. Kendall, chairman of the car service commission of the railroad as- sociation, sent telegrams tonight to all lines directing them to return coal cars promptly to mines from which they can be loaded for destinations on their home roads, The western systems par ticularly were instructed to rush east ern-owned cars to their home lines be- cause in tlle east the effects of the coal strike Have been most felt.

 A training camp is the household of surprises.
 It is here that some of the old stars first show signs of slipping back into oblivion and the minors and some few or the rockies loom as future Ty Cobbs, Babe Ruths and Christy Mathewsons. Connie Mack was the first to answer the call. He opened the training camp guns at Lake Charles, La, on Febru ary 23. Kid.

Ii might be called the annual spring thaw-fhis exodus of the 16 big league baseball clubs from their homes of the frosty north to the balmy cline meath the Dixie sun.
 Without the preliminaries the main bout would lose its punch
 It affords the music out of which that familiar litt1s ditty Who's going to win the pennant?" is created.
 The southland might be compared to the makic well of sunshine, where those who come and bathe leave there all aches and pains. Each spring the army of athletes treks to Dixie for the purpose of separating itself from sore arms stiff joints and aching muscles.
 It is there the veterans and the rook- ies work side by side in learning anew the hop on the ball and the best angle a. which to crack it out of the lot.

Justice Monroe of the Supreme

that the dawn of brighter era was

with Louisiana's most worthy son at
its helm. was moving on through the
sea of human effort and RESPONSE

greatness and power. His inaugural
address was a masterpiece OF wisdom,
Astounding in common sense. 1t was
short, b 1T comp eheEded the promise
of the full scope of duty. 10 few
paragraphs, unadOrned and unour-
dened by useless language, he ac-
cepted the high trust placed upon
him. and went to work, as matter t
course, TO give Louisiana a pdtrlOtic

SOME DISTRICTS MAY
LOSE REPRESENTATIVES

WASHINGTON. July 27.-Unless
the membership of the house is in
creased from 4S5 to at least 500 to
meet the increased population shown
by the 1920 census. 10 states will lose
one or more representatives, accord
ing to Representative Siegel OF New
York. chairman of the census COM
mittee which will frame the new ap-
pointment bill. Those states are:
Indiana Iowa, and Missouri, which
will lose two congressman each; and
Illinois. Kentucky. Maine. Maryland.
Nebraska. Vermont and Virginia.
which will lose one congressman each.
Mr.. Siegel explains thai If the
house membership is retained at its
present figure. it will be necessary to
increase the population basis in each
district beyond the 21l,-
O00 or major portion thereof now fix
ed. If this is done. he says, the 10
states named will lose one or more Of
the present districts because their
populations have not increased in pro-
portion to those OF other states

Iation of 06,oeO.000 for the whole

Mr.. S.esel expects the work Of
framing the new apportionment bill
in accord with the new population to
begin with. the reconvening of con-
gress In December and he anticipates
that the measure will be passed early
in 1921.
Every decade since 1890, with the
single exception of 1910. the house
membership has been enlarged to
keep pace with the growing popuia-
tion. Now the house floor is crowd
ed when all members are present;
seafS nearly fill the chamber; the old
individual desks have been discarded
and an increase In membership PROB
ably will have to be solved by narrow
ing the width of the seats.
Ten years ago the house member
ship was increased from Ssi to 4S5
on the basis of a population of 91.- |
972. 2.266 and the only exception to
such a procedure occurred in 1870 |
when 10 congressman were knocked (
out by the apportionment, the men,
bership being fixed at 2S2 after hav-
ing been 242 for 10 years.
The last apportionment kept intact
the numerical strength of all state
besides providing for cer-
tain increases. but even then several
districts fell short of tie
maximum basis of 211,U00 population.
