House Leaders Predict Measure
to Make Number 483
'Will Be Beaten.
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. Jan. IS After five
hours, of argument and oratory, the
house, like a Jury not required to be
locked up went home tonight to delib
erate over the proposal to increase Its
membership from 435 to 483.
Such a storm of protest was raised,
however, to the bill that the house lead
ers predicted the verdict tomorrow would
be against the increase and" for an
amendment holding seats to the present
total. The debate touched on every pos
sible point, although Representative
Clark,, former democratic leader, declared
It was not different from that heard after
the decennial census for the last half
century.
Etch Opposes Bill.
Rising to speak in opposition to the
bill. Representative Esch, republican, of
Wisconsin, who failed for re-election last
year after a continuous service, of 23
years, was greeted by a demonstration
by republicans and democrats alike. Then
when he had the undivided attention.
Mr. Ksch declared the house could not
Justify its action In adding to the mem
bership simply- to save one seat in Maine
and another in Missouri.
"Why can't this house have . the
courage to say it will not do that?" he
aaked. "The people of your state are not
so much concerned with the number of
representatives as they are with the
question of ability and efficiency. It is
not too difficult to remember the time
when Maine, 4 with four members, had
more Influence here than New York with
its thirty."
Nearly everybody had a chance to ex
press his views. Representative Mon
tague, democrat, Virginia, broke Into the
discussion to declare that It was shock
ingly obvious to the house as it was to
the country, that the house was too big
now to legislate effectively. Represen
tative Clark, who goes out of office in
March, endorsed the increase, but an
nounced that he woTiId fight for a con
stitutional amendment which would hold
the total to 500 for all time. Represen
tative Mondcll, of Wyoming, the repub
lican leader. Joined with those opposing
an increase in membership, declaring
that "if this body is to remain what
the fathers intended, a deliberative body,
It must be kept reasonably small."
Losing States Speak.
Some members even from states which
stand to lose representation opposed the
bill and insisted on the amendment pro
posed by Representative Barbour, repub
lican, California, which would keep the
total as it stands today. This was par
ticularly true of Mississippi, slated to
lose a seat, three of its representatives
Slsson, Humphreys and Stephens fight
ing for the smaller number.
There was, however, a plea from Rep
resentative Aswel, democrat, Louisiana,
whose state would lose one member, that
reduction should not be cut down at the
time women were starting to vote, and
a warning by Representative Sims, dem
ocrat, Tennessee, that it' was easier for
big interests to control a small than a
big body. Taking up the latter state
ment, Mr. Sisson Kaid all the world knew
how big cities were bossed, and that the
charge never had been made that there
was such a being as the boss of a vil
lage. NEWSPAPER SAVED

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18. Locked
for nearly six hours in an hermetically

Brenner entered the vault .a room

minutes before closing time .yesterday
hunting for a warrant. Whi-3 he was
there, the big steel doors swung shut.
He shouted for help without attract

tomatically as the doors shut. Bren
ner was on a balcony in the rear. He
felt his way down stairs, Dulled open
every drawer and piled the books on
the floor to get the maximum amount
of air possible and then slept for
awhile, with his face as near the bot
tom of the door as possible on the as
sumption that a slight amount of air
might ,get through at that point.
When he awoke, his hand came in con
tact with a wooden slat and remem
bering that Charles Hockwald, a night
watchman also could telegraph, he
pounded out "in Merse "I . am locked
in."
"Will get help, 'came the answer
from Hockwald, who immediately tel
ephoned for a man who knew the com

johnson seeks
Siberian probe
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. Receipt of
information that Americans were being
virtually excluded fro m trade in Siberia
today caused Senator Johnson, republi
can, California, to introduce a resolu
tion proposing an investigation of the
matter by the senate foreign relations
committee. The resolution also would
provide for inquiry into activities of the
American military expedition In Siberia,
but Senator Johnson said he had no
bearing on the recent shooting of an
American officer by a Japanese sentry.
Americans at Vladivostok, the news
paper says' it fears this would be de
structive of army discipline.
A dispatch to the Nichi Nichi Shim
bun from Tsuriiga today stales that
Toshigoro Ogasawara, the sentry who
shot Lieutenant Langdon, is being
courtmartialed. The message adds
that the reported determination to

KLOOR SILENT
ON FIST FIGHT
j Commander of Balloon Flight
Evades Questions of Board
of Inquiry.
TELLS OF HARDSHIPS
Kloor Says Every Member of
the Party Worked for the
Success of Flight.
-
(By Associated Press) .
ROCKAWAY, N. Y., Jan. 18.
Carefully avoiding any mention of the
fist fight between Lieutenants Hinton
and Farrell, which brought to a sur-
j prising denouement their recent bal
iloon flight in Canadian wilderness
and tramp back to civilization. Lieu
tenant Louis A. Kloor, Jr., who com
manded the party, described their ex
periences in detail today before the
court of inquiry investigating the af
fairs under orders from Secretary of
the Navy Daniels.
"Newspaper accounts have reflected
on the actions of your two compan
ions," the court told Lieutenant Kloor,
"now state wha you know of the
personal conduct of the party from
the time of leaving the air station
until your return." .
Dodges Mentioning Fight.
Picking, his. words with care, Lieu
tenant Kloor paid high praise to the
personal conduct of his companions
until they reached Mattice, where the
altercation occurred. "That's all I
have to say," he declared, but the
court reminded.him his story had not
yet brought thef.airmen back to Rock
away. Then he mentioned that Lieutenant
Hinton liad left the private car in
which the tto of them were seated
shortly after arriving at Mattice to
deliver to Lieutenant Farrell Secre
tary Daniels' order against granting
Interviews.
"Hinton said he would tell Ferrell
and In doing so he had to go to the
Hudson's Bay company store, after1
which he returned to the room we
were occupying in the private car,"
Lieutenant Kloor said.
It was while Hinton was gone on
this mission that the fight occurred
but the witness made no mention" of
it.'
"The conduct of Lieutenants Hinton
and Farrell, on our return from Mat
tice to this station," he continued,
"was in no way questionable."
Smiles at Reporters.
Concluding his testimony, Lieuten
ant Kloor turned to " the press table
and smiled at a, dozen newspaper men,
who were amusing themselves by dis
cussing, his apparent evasion of tho
question on the. aeronauts' conduct
Hex was then excused by--the -:ourt.
: During the. weeks they spent in ice
bearded forests at Moose Factory and
in trudging through the snow back to
civilization, Lieutenant Kloor said
each of the men "made sacrifice after
sacrifice." He did not think there
"was any one particular hero." The
party left Rockaway with food to pro
vide three meals for three men, "he
said. They carried no balloon log,
and the only maps were charts of the
states of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
"How Should We Know."
After explaining that it would have
been" as easy as falling off a log,'
for the party to have landed at Wells,
N. Y., on the evening - they left here,
Lieutenant Kloor said. They failed to
locate Wells on a chart before going
onward. When they asked inhabitants
100 feet below them .how far it was
to Albany, he -added, the only reply
was "How should we know?"
"You've put Wells on the map now,
so you'll know where it is the next
time," remarked Rear Admiral Kline,
head of the court.
Lieutenant Hinton sat near Lieu
tenant Kloor throughout his testi
mony. He probably will be . quizzed
tomorrow, and Lieutenant Farrell
also if the latter recovers sufficiently
from a slight attack of tonsilitia.

mended by Samuel Unjermyer in an ad
dress tonight at a testimonial, ilinner t

with the campaign against rent profi

legal evidence against the two depart
ments. Mortifying Scandals.
"But," he added, "if a fraction of what
comes to me is true (and I believe imx l
of it to be true), such an investigate! it
will disclose to the world a series of tlu
most mortifying scandals that has tvet
befallen our country."
"There has never been a governmental
department, national or state," Mr. Un
termyer said, "so urgently In need of
Immediate and painstaking investigation
as are those of the alien property custo

same careful preparation such as that v
which preceeds the trial of a case.

"Our national honor is involved here.
The vast powers and patronage of thosv
great offices are said to have been used,

were put was none the less sinister. Iw. '
