REPORT SPEEDED
Results of Efficiency Bureau
Survey Will Be Given to
Senator Capper.

Finishing touches are being added
today to the Bureau of Efficiencys re-
port on the result of its exhaustive in
vestigation of the transit merger plan.
The report said by officials to be
the most important the bureau has
ever made on a subject of local interest,
will be turned over to Senator Cap
per. chairman of the Senate District
committee. when he returns to Wash
ington. At Senator Capper's office, it
was said he is expected either tomor-
row or Sunday
The report will be sent direct to the
Senator, it was said, because it was
at his request that the bureau under
took study of the plan of merger and
the unification agreement of the trans
portation companies. Dr. Milo Maltbie,
New York public utilities expert, also is
making study of the merger plan for
the Senate committee, independent of
the bureaus investigation.
Contents Of the bureaus report are
being guarded with utmost secrecy.
Officials of the bureau, however, indi-
cate that 1t treats comprehensively
every phase of the plan of unification,
including the financial arrangements
involved as well as the proposed rerout-
ing OF the car lines. which traction
officials have pointed out will effect
great economies in operation.
The bureau report, as we'll as the
findings of DR.. Maltbie are expected to
have vital effect on the Senate COM

reapportionment on the 1920 returns
this would probably mean that the
1920 returns would call for an increase
of approximately 100 members above
the present size of the House.
Fem Bill Proposal.
The proposal to pass the Fem bill,
with some slight changes In phraseol-
ogy. is an entirely new departure In re-
apportionment because it. seeks to def
nitely fix size limit upon the house
and makes future eapportlonmenIs an
automatic mathematical proposition 10
be administered by the Department OF
Commerce unless there Is some speclnc
action by Congress. 1t is believed by
Speaker Longworth that In this way
wrangling over reapportionment can pe
prevented for future years.
Speaker Longworth agrees with House
Leader Tilson'S view that outside OF the
passage Of the regular annual appro-
priation bill there is not very heavy
program of major legislation awaiting
the House in the short session.
The cruiser bill and the Boulder Dam
bill have both passed the House and are
awaiting action in the Senate, so tnat
the House will probably have little to
do with these measures. What DISPOSE
ton will be made of Muscle Shoals is
the principal hangover legislation in the
House.
Speaker Longworth has been advised
that the House appropriations commit
tee is making good progress on drafting
the appropriation bills. with the prob
ability that two or three of these meas
ures will be passed before the Christmas
recess.

Dunedin Sunday.

BY Wireless to the New York Times
ON BOARD THE STEAMSHIP CITY
OF NEW YORK, Flagship of the Byrd
Antarctic Expedition. November 23.--
Entering the roaring forties yesterday,
some of us aboard this vessel thought
of those other roaring forties" along
Broadway, on the other side of the
world, and mourned momentarily for
the flesh pots of Gotham.
But before many salty tears could be
shed for such things of the past the
rugged mountains of the promised land
loomed gray three points off the star
board bow. A spontaneous celebration
Immediately spread from quarterback
to fOrecaStle
With one accord, old ballads Of the
sea sprang from score of luSty throatS.
Faster and louder came the comments
and the voicing of long guarded doubts.
Is this really the North Island of New
Zealand or is it the Cook Islands,
which our navigators failed to find? we
asked.
Predictions Doubted
The captain has told us that bright
on Sabbath morning we will hear the
merry church bells ring from the bells
of Dunedin. but on this three months
voyage we have learned to take all pre-
dictions with much salt.
For the past few days Berkner,
Grenlie and Mason have kept the radio
busy with getting orders and questions
and appeals from the white -collared
force of the expedition, already await
ing us, until the rumors that have
arisen concerning immediate plans
would make Army rurnors pale into in
significance.
All that we know at present is that
after spending three or four days in
Dunedin and having a mutton and
kangaroo Thanksgiving dinner we will
proceed Immediately for Little America
the village to be established on the
great ice barrier in the Bay Of Whales
Ross Sea, on the shores of Antarctica
in 80 degrees south latitude.
Bed, Bath and Dinner.
At Dunedin the first business for
each will be bed. bath and a dinner
Then we will read our mail and send
back our last written words before we
enter the ice pack.
The Eleanor Boiling. which is to fol-
low us three weeks later, will bring the
last mail from home, waiting in New
Zealand for the steamship Makura
which will leave San Francisco on Mo-
vember 49,
We all hope that todays air mail
from New York will reach the Makura
in time to bring us our Christmas mail
