"She sinks! She sinks!' screamed
the frightened passengers, and start
ed a rush for the gangplank. The
Rome was flat.bottomed and almost
overturned by the weight on the
nier side of the craft. Men, women
and children were aboard when the
Rome began to settle.
Mgr. Pagani, Bishop OF Como
was the last to leave the Rome and
he sang a soleumn "Te Deum" in
thanks for the deliverance or the
bones. Then the crowd paraded as
further proof of thanks.
While the panic was at its height,
the cranium of the Saint was taken
to a nearby bridge and the devout
kneeled around it, praying for the
safety of the passengers.

BILL INCREASES
REPRESENTATION
1925 Vote Census Is Basis
for New Apportionment.

Marion County will have one more
Representative in the Lower House
of the State, raising the total to
twelve Representatives, and n joint
one, if the new legislative apportion-
ment bill. introduced in the House
Friday, is enacted. The bill was
introduced by Representative Frank

Steuben.
Lake and st. Joseph Counties
would gain most under the new
schedule, with two additional Repre-
sentatives and an additional Senator
each.
The CENSUS of male voters in 1925
formed the basis for the new appor-
tionment made by Republicans of
the elections committee.
Few changes are made in the re-
nlainder of the report. A general
tendency toward grouping Democrat
ic counties in slightly larger groups
and to increase representation in Re
publican central and northern Indi-
aa were recommended.
