435 IS FIXED
MEMBERSHIP
HOUSE ADOPTS REAPPoRTIoN.
MENT MEASURE AFTER TUR.
BULENT SESSION.
BARBOUR PLAN KILLED
MANN AMeNoMEnre ocreoen
MANY AMENDMENTS OFFERED
AND KILLED IN QUICK
SUCCESSION.
lws..srn Newspaper Union NV. nsr,is,.,

Washington, Jan. 2O.-At the end of
the most. turbulent session of the pres
ent Congress, the House adopted the
reapportionment bill with amendment
limiting Its membership for ten years
to the present total of 435.
The fight to prevent increase to 4S3
ever, when the House In committee Of
the whole refused to postpone cOnsid.
erateiOn of redistricting and then
voted, 10S to Il, to keep the present
maximum. 1t was after long parlla-
mentary wrangling that the bill was
brought before the House itself for n
final showdown. The 435 amendment
finally was agreed to, 267 to 70, and
the measure made ready for the Sen.
ate.
After deciding to go ahead with the
measure, Representative Barbour, Re
publican, California, member of the
census committee, made himself heard
above the din and proposed the 435
maximum amendment, around which
the battle was waged. Other amend
ments were offered, one to cut the
membership to 3O7 and another to
raise 1t to 400. Both were voted
down.
After the real fight had been set
tied, Representative Tinkham, Repub-
lican. Massachusetts,, came up with q
proposal to reduce House seats In
states where negroes are denied the
right of franchise, and the battle
started afresh.
Another wrangle developed over an
amendment by Representative Bar
bour to perfect the bin by providing
that the machinery for redIstricting in
the eleven states which will lose seats
after March 4, 1923. The Barbour
plan and many substitutes finally
were defeated.
As the bill stands the states which
will lose representation are: Mis-
souri,, two seats, and Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky. Louisiana, Maine,
Mississippi. Nebraska. Rhode Island
and Vermont. one each. These twelve
seats will be shifted to eight states !;
California gets three. Michigan two.
Ohio two and Connecticut, New Jer-
sey. North Carolina, Texas and Wash.
ington. one each.

New York, Jan. 10.-An Immediate

Gus indictments, declared he had no
direct legal evidence against the two
problems.
But" he added. "if fraction Of

iieve much Of 1t to be true), such m
Investigation will disclose n series OF

COURT TO CON-
vENE MONDAY
Ladies are Invited to Hear
Charge to Grand Jury

Circuit Court will convene her,
next Monday, and on that day
Judge W. A. Roane will deliver
his charge to the Grand Jury, as
directed by law. This charge is
a general review of the law as il
relates to crime and misdemea-
nors. The charge also gives an
incite into our scheme of govern
ment and in a measure defined
the duties of both citizens and
officers.
At the last session of court,
Judge Roane especially invited
the newly enfranchised ladies to
attend and hear the charge. Be-
cause of weather conditions and
for other reasons, very few
women were present. He now
desires to again extend a special
mutation to the women to be
present and hear the charge.
The law requires all officers to
be present when the charges are
given, and provides for a fine
for any who are not present.
This is well. and it would be
nothing amiss if every person
who has any kind of voice in
and executing the laws
were also present to hear these
charges. This would give the
average citizen a better know
edge of his duties and obliga-
ions to the government and
would help wonderfully in ex-
'cu' e laws. AS matters
