Re0ppOrfiOnment Fight
Looms As Concerning
OF Congress NearS

BY CHARLES p. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL The
various states ratio Of representa-
tion in Congress needs overhauling,
to put it on an up-to-date popula-
ton basis.
Representatives from states a
REIMBURSEMENT would benefit intend
to attempt in next winter. Thos
from states which would lose by it
will fight it, tooth and nail.
It's the same conflict between
urban and rural communities that
has provoked the revolt of the
cities-Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland,
and doubtless more to be heard
from soon.
A congressional reapportionment
will be harder to stave off, however,
than the demands of the cities are
likely to be.
The cities can win fuller repro
sentation in their respective state
legislatures, or else secede, as indie
pendent states, only by decidedly
revolutionary means, which they
may find exceedingly difficult to
put across. The states congress
sional representation is supposed to
be readjusted after every census
once in ten years-in the regular
way of business-nothing repolu-
tionary about it.
The only irregular part of the
present congressional situation is
that reapportionment has beeu egg
lected so long. The last census was
in 1920, five years back. And there
hash t been a reapportionment yet
Never but once before was there
so long a delay, and that was dur
ing the Civil War and reconstruc-
tion period, when neither a census
nor a reapportionment was possible
The nations congressional repre-
sentation now is on the basis Of the
1910 census. The country has
grown greatly since then, but not
evenly, everywhere.
The cities have grown most,
which means that population has
increased much faster in states
which have large urban centers than.
in those which are predominantly
rural
Consequently, on a redistribu-
ton of congre ssional seats, the in
dustrial states would gain a good
many representatives, while the
far mstates would lose correspond
ingly.
Naturally the rural congressmen
prefer to have representation stay
as it is now. To obviate the difficult
ty one suggestion advanced is to
increase the House of Representa-
tives membership from ABS to 460.
This might save some of the con-
gressmen from farm states from be-
ing reapportioned out Of office, but
it isn't a satisfactory solution of
the problem in other respects.

Neill Using

The strain on the voice of the

coustics of the hall of the house

chair practically every minute, S
beginning to save his voice, it is OBJ
served, for the even more strenuous
days ahead during this and next
ly be long, but perhaps stormy.
More and more he is calling upon
Speaker Protein Russell to take the

member of the house. 1t is observ-
that he speaks of late di-
rectly into the simplifying instru-
ment, speaking distinctly, but no
louder than necessary to be under

Mexican And American
Sn1uggle Aliens Into
q. s. For 5000 A Head

LAREDO, Tex, Aug. 11.-They
were smugglers. Human beings
made up their contraband cargoes,
and they brought them across the
international hne with their lips
sealed by the threat of instant
death.
But the officials of the United
States immigration service are
sharp-eyed. And so these two trad
ers in human beings have reached
the end o ftheir rope at last, and
are being hel din the Laredo jail.
The smugglers are John Galea-
bert, nati7e-born citizen, and
Jose B. Fernandez-Valdez, a Mexi-
can who was naturalized some years
ago.
Their method of operation was
both clever and simple.
As American citizens, each could
get passports easily. Further, each
had three children, all born in the
United States.
So, armed with the birth certifi-
Gates that had been issued for these
children, they would go to Havana,
Cuba, where scores of Europeans
are always waiting for a chance to
slip across the gulf into this coun-
try.
In Havana each would get three
wOuld-be immigrants, whose ages
would correspond with the ages
given the children on the birth GER
tificates. Then, when each "client"
had paid fee ranging from $500
to 5000, the two would bring them
to America.
immigration inspectors would be
shown the passports and birth GER
tificates, and the whole group would
be admitted. Then Gelabert and
Fernandez-Va would go back to
Havana for another group.
But when they tackled Laredo,
coming overland through Mexico.
the inspectors got suspicious. The
two fathers" and their six "chil-
-dren" were put on the grill through
out long summer day. And at eve
ming the immigrants broke down
and confessed.
Five of the children" said they
came from Russia. The sixth was a
Spaniard. All had met Gelabert
and Fernandez-Valdez in Havana.
And each one begged to be put
in cells separated from those of Gel
albert and his accomplice, saying
that they had been threatened with
death if they "peached."
Then Fernandez-Valdez asked 10
be separated from Gelabert, saying
that he, too, had been threatened
with death.
The two admitted making nine
trips from Havana in the last five
months, federal officials say, bring
ing six persons each time.
They are held for trial this fall.

Sure Death
Carbon Monoxide Kills Rat.

ATLANTA, Aug. 1.-THE right
amount of carbon monoxide will
take care Of rat nests, the Atlanta
Journal said in a story recently.
P. c. Bouck, Atlanta fireman,
backed his automobile up to one of
several rat holes in his coal bin, con-
nected the garden hose with the ex
haust pipe and after plugging up all
the holes but two inserted the hose
into one and started the engine.
Soon afterward six rats staggered
forth for fresh air, but they wers
too late and all of them succumbed
to the deadly poison.
Bouck is now concerned with the
question of whether he used too
much poison and if some of the rats
were overcome before scampering
from their hole.

the scene, calls were sent out for
reinforcements.
Members of the state constabularT

called upon to quell the disorders.
The vicinity about the meeting
place was choked with autom obiles

tried to speed away. The meeting,
according to DR.. Carr, was the
largest ever held in the vicinity.
When the attackers surrounded
the house, Libby, police said, tele-
phoned for help. The police dispers-
ed the beseigers after a struggle.
The first police report said that
about fifty klansmen were returning
home when they were set upon by
about a hundred of the anti-klan
faction. The klansmen broke thru
the attacking crowd and made their
way into the home of P. w. Libby,
nearby.

ATLANTA, August ll.-Mem-
bers of the house and senate West
ern and Atlantic committees believe
the tine has come for action in the
dispute of more than 20 years stand
ing between the City of Chatta-
nooga and the State of Georgia
over the W. & A. properties in
Chattanooga.
The property there is in the CEN
ter of the business district of the
city and is one of the most val
liable tracts in the city. Chatta-
nooga wants to extend Broad street.
which heads into the N. C. and st.
l.. railroad station, on through the
station and the w. & A. Terminal
property to connect up with that
portion of the city which has built
up beyond the terminal properties.
For two decades, the state has re-
sisted successfully the efforts of the
city to do this.
1T will not be but two or three
more sessions of the Tennessee lep-
stature, it is pointed out, before
the city will be granted the authori-
ty to condemn the property which
1T does not now possess, and 90
ahead, whether or no. Members of
these committees now feel that if
the state is to make an advantap-
eous trade, it must act now with
decision or run the risk of losing
a great deal of money They be-
believe they are faced with a crucial
situation.
This is the principal reason by
the resolution now being put thru
