Object.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-A bill pro
viding for the enlargement of the national
house of representatives from 391 to 433
members, and the appointment of those
members to the different Flutes on the
basis of the population ptiown by the
recent federal census pa?fd the hoiipe
early this evening after vain efforts of
members of both political parties to amend
It In Important particulars.
The proposed size of the house Is Identi
cal with that provided In the Crumpacker
bill, passed by the house at the last ses
sion of conuress. but not acted upon by
the senate. The Houston bill, passed today,
leaves to the lagislatures of the different
tates the power to re-arrange t'.ie congres
sional dlHtrlcts In their respective states
on the new population basis of one mem
ber for each 211,877 Inhabitants.
The two Important amendments proposed
today and defeated after Ions; debate, were
to put the repatriating power In the hands
of the governors of the states when the
legislature had failed to act, and to limit
the house In the future to a membership
of 430 or 433, leaving future reapportion
ments to the secretary of the department
of vommerce and labor.
Kenabllcans Champion Amendment.
Each amendment was vigorously cham
pioned by the republicans and had some
democratic supporters. Air. Sherley of
Kentucky first offered the "Crumpacker
amendment," aa It was known to restrict
the, slse of the house to 430 in the future
and later Mr. Crumpacker submitted it
gain aa a part of a formal motion to re
commit Ue bill to the committee on cen
sus to have the amendment put into it,
On a erecord vote on this motion the demo
crats voted it down, 178 to 99. (
The amendment offered earlier by Mr.
Crumpacker, formerly the republican
chairman of the committee on census,
has charge of reapportionment, to give the
governors of state power to carry out the
rearrangement of oongreaaionaj districts
was declared by Mr. Hamlin Of Missouri,
democrat, to be a deliberate effort' of re
publican politicians of Missouri to give Ihe
republican governor of that sate power to
make up the new districts so that republi
can districts might be constructed by
"gerrymandering methods." ,
Conditions In Missouri Discussed.
Mr. Hamlin said that wltb the Crum
packer amendment as a part of the bill.
the republican governor of Missouri could
veto the reapportionment made by the
democratic legislature and then could carry
out the reapportionment himself.
Mr. Bartholdt, republican, also from Mis
souri, challenged this statement and as
serted that the last democratic legislature
that reapportioned the congressional dis
tricts of Missouri had violated the federal
satutes by making the dlatrlota of greatly
varying ai.
The Increase In the size of the house was
agreed to by members of both parties, but
many republicans objected to It on the
ground that it would make the house more
unwieldy. Insurgent republicans wer par
ticularly vigorous In opposing the Increase,
declaring that If It were not for the de
mands of those states that would other
wise lose members there would be a gen
eral sentiment In favor of keeping the
raembershlpat the present slie of 41.

SHAFROTH ROASTS BANK BILL
Governor of Colorado Sends Message
to House on Pending Measure.
SENATE IS ACCUSED OF BAD FAITH
Executive Says BUI Passed by Upper
Hoaae la a Direct Betrayal of
Promise Made to the
People. i
vmnver, April 27. In a letter M the
house of representatives Governor Shafroth
sharply criticises the state banking bill
passed yesterday by the senate as a meas
ure "no more resembling the measure
promised the. people than night resembles
day." The letter created a sensitlon.
The bill came before the house today on
first reading. This is believed to be the
first time that a governor of a state has
taken summary action on a measure that
was still before the legislative body.
"When Introduced," said Governor
Shafroth in his letter, "the measure was
Intended to comply with the democratic
pledge relating to 'bank guarantee laws.
It no more resembles the measure promised
the people than night resembles day. Its
author ha? repudiated the bill and had his
name taken .from It,- The Wll contains
no provision whatever for a state guaran
tee fund, as promised in the democratic
platform.'
, "Sfou have, been In session for one hun
dred and thirteen days, twenty-three days
longer than any sessslon for the hut thirty
years, and not a pledge has been redeemed.
Is there any excuse for such a falliye?
Are we to affirm the saying that plat
forms are made to get In on, but not to
stand -on.
"He who thinks such a betrayal can be
made with censure and condemnation little
understands the trend of events now tak
ing place In all parts of the Unltod States
In behalf of the rule of the people. I
warn you now that an avalanche of pub
lic sentiment Is coming as sure as right
Is right attainst those who refuse to ro
deem their contracts of honor."
The governor urged the house to make
the bill conform to the platform pledge.

"Yes; I am charged with dynamiting the V.
plant of the Llewellyn Iron Works."
"Did rou do It?"
"Sure I did."

"Two hundred dollars." responded Mc

"Do you know Bryce," was Brain's next
question. -
"Yes I know him."
"How long have you known him?" ,
"About a year and a half."
Then McManlgal , said he would stop
talking.
"All right, Me," said Brain. "I am not I
trying to coerce you. Do as you like
about It. That's your right."
"When I get out there. 1 11 tell all about
