LINES ARE DRAWN ON REAPPOR10NMENT
 BILL IN THE HOUSE
Indications Are That Measure Will Be Voted Down as Reported By a De-
 ciSive Vote

Washington, January 17.--Lines were sharply drawn tonight for fight to- morrow to defeat the reapportionment bership Of the House of Representa- tives from 435 to 4s5.
 After q final check up, leaders an nounced Hat the measure as reported would the voted down decisively and that d substitute plan holding seats to the present total would be adopted by a big majority
 There seemed little sentiment for a larger House Members from states which would lose representation under the shifting Of ? seats from II to eight states declare they would vote against adding IS representatives at a cost of approximately s1.500 900 A year when there is a crying demand from all quarters for governmental economy.
 As mapped cit today the programme. under which the bill will be called up tomorrow, provides for five hours of debate. While there was some objec- lion to so much eratory, it was agreed to permit members to express their views at length and then by a roll call vote let the country know that the Iicuse is big enough as 1t stands.
 The republican steering committee was reported solidly against the in crease. not as a committee, but as in- dlv;duals. Southern democrats, 1t was said were not expected to opose the l3wer total as q body. as the shifting of seats would leave their present num- Der intact
 Under provisions of the bill House leaders expect to be adopted the in- creases will be as follows: California. three, Michigan two; Ohio two. and Nonnecticut, New Jersey, North Caro- ina, Texas and Washington one each To make up this number without changing the 435 total Missouri would lose two seats and the following states one each: Indiana, Iowa, Kan sas, Kentucky.

.LANGDON KILLING WAS UNPROVOKE:D.
 SAY DISPATCHES
Jap Sentry Has Changed His Story and Now Claims That Gun Went Off By
 Accident
By AssoeIated Press

Washington, January lT.-AIieut N H. l.angdon, American naval officer, who
 was shot and killed by Japanese sentry at Nladivostok January S. was the victim of an unprovoked attack dispatches to the state department and to the navy
 department today agreed.
 Both sets of dispatches were based on
 statements eicited from the accused sentry by dhe board of investigation and court of inquiry convened by the Japa-
 nese government. The sentry's state
 ments were described as in agreement with the ante-mortem story of the affair by Lieutenant f.angdon in that the sen try was the fri to fire. The sentry, who previously had maintained that the American officer fired first, also was reported as having told the court of in- quiry that he had discharged his rifle by accident
 The dispatch to the navy department. filed by Admiral Gleaves. commando in-chief of the Asiatic fleet, now en route to Vladivostos with an American naval court of inquiry to investigate the shooting, added that the sentry had been recommended for court-martial by the Japanese authorities.
 While the dispatches received today were more complete than any that had previously reached Washington and while officials expressed qualification that an agreement had been reached to what actually happened no tendency was displayed in official circles to relax the determination to investigate the matter thoroughly and for that reason Admiral Gleaves with his court of in- quiry will continue. on his way to the Siberian port. State department officials also continued to await q reply to the note sent the Japanese government re- questing an explanation of the incident a q rctIr rpa haf xfyrt nt t.or peated.
 The state department was informed in its dispatches that I,angdon. who is de- scribed as "a total abstainer," was re- turning to his ship early on the morn ing of January B. using a flashlight in order to pick his way along the ice-cov- cred street. Tine sentry was on duty before the headquarters of the Japanese Eleventh division. q
 "The final story and full admission of the sentry the summary of the report of the Investigating board as received by the state department added, made Japanese board of investigation and court of inquiry. was that the sentry left his post. ran across the street. three times called out halt and that Lieuten- ant Langdon did not halt The sentry said that he then took position three paces in front of lieutenant Langdon with his rifle held at the position charge bayonet Lieutenant Langdon

GOVERNOR HARDING TALKS ON WORKING, BACK ID NORMAL
Says Whatever Danger of Crisis There May Have Been Is Passed, With the
 Future Bright
By Associated Press

New York, January 17.-Both long term credits and Investments in Euro pean securities are called for the present situation supplement ordinary banking activities in effecting the economic and financial rehabilitation of foreign countries, Governor Hard ing of the federal reserve board de- clared in an address here tonight be- fore a group meeting of the New York state Bankers association.
 Speaking on Working Back to Nor nal" Governor Harding asserted that whatever danger of crisis there may have been is passed and that bright future is ahead to be attained through hard and intelligent work
 Production must continue if the country is to prosper, the governor said, but surplus production must be disposed of by sale to foreign coun- tries. Under present conditions. he continued, many countries cannot pay for goods in the usual manner and
 fit is necessary that we should devise new means of financing our foreign trade"
 Continuance of trade with Europe is vital Governor Harding declared. end the maintenance of the trade relation ships of other countries with Europe is scarcely less important.
 Otherwise there will be constant tendency" the governor explained. toward the accumulation here of goods. principally raw materials from those countries which have beer in The habit of selling to Europe, but which now, on account of Europe's inability to nay and their own inability to ex- tend credit, are shipping to the United States in order to sell for cash.
 Referring to the unsettled exchange situation, he said that in the present circumstances it would be vain to ex- pect to finance our exports to Europe by means of short time bankers cred- it's"
 "The war finance corporation has been revived" he added, land subject to the act creating it, it is authorized to etxend credits in export transac- tions, but it is evident that new agencies must be resorted to in ordeA to furnish Europe with long time credit, whichS is so essential for her rehabilitation and for her contin lance as 3 potential buyer in the worlds markets.''
 Foreign trade financing compa aies incorporated under the Edge act are already in operation under federal su> pervision, Governor Harding said, and should their operations prove succ ass- fuI the formation of others is to be expected.

Hays made it plain that he wished it understood that there re- mained complete harmony among the group of men who managed the repub. lican campaign.
