WON'T INCREASE
NUMBER IN
CONGRESS
But Washington Will Get
Two More—Some States
Will Lose a Few.
(By United Press Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Tho
United States census just an
nounced will not increase the num
bers of the house o r representa
tives, if a plan fathered by Speaker
Cannon and said to have the back
ing of a large majority of the house,
is put through. Instead, some
states will gain congressmen,
while others will lose them.
According to the new plan the
ratio of representation will be in
creased It is now 194481 to one
congressman. Cannon has figured
out that 235,223 to each congress
man would give each state its prop
er representation without making
the house any more unwieldly than
It now is.
' If such an apportionment were
made, the following states would
gain two representatives:
New York, California, Washing
ton and Oklahoma.
The foTTowing would gain one
each:
Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Texas.
These states would lose two con
gressmen each:
Indiana, lowa and Missouri.
The following would lose one
representative:
Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin,
Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, North
Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Vir
ginia.

HUBBY WOULD NOT
SLEEP WITH DOGS
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12 —
Punctures of a hatpin in the hands
of Amanda, his wife, were borne
with smiling fortitude by Jas. A.
Rich, building contractor, of 3114
Railroad avenue, but his long suf
fering martyrdom wavered when
his wife insisted that her pet
poodles be permitted to sleep w&h
them.
Mrs. Rich became annoyed at the
unaccommodating disposition of
her pincushion husband, tore his
picture from its frame and said she
was through with him.
This tale of marital infelicity is
maintained in a complaint for di
vorce filed by Mrs. Rich and a
cross complaint filed by her hus
band.

of the supreme court. White's
selection, the News Bureau
says, should be regarded with
satisfaction by all conserva
tives, because he possesses a
great legal mind and has a
profound knowledge of consti

JOHN MITCHELL TO QUIT
AS LABOR LEADER.
John .Mitchell Is serving his but
term as vice president of tho
American Federation of Labor,
which position he has occupied for
15 years. Under the laws of the
United Mine Workers, representa
tives of that organization are ie
quired to work at the trade or for
the union directly, and, as Mitchell
Is employed by the National Civic
Federation, he Is clearly Ineligible
to hold official positions. The mat
ter will doubtless come before the
national convention of miners next
month.
The annual election is now im
pending In the United Mine Work

followers of President Lewis and
Mitchell for control Is more intensi
fied than ever before. The chances
facor the re-election of Lewis to
guide the destinies of the 300,000
men in the U. M. W. A., although
John P. White of lowa, the Mitchell
candidate, is equally confident that
he will win. Edwin Perry of lowa
Is likely to be re-elected secretary
treasurer, and Frank Hayes of Illi

very strongly identified with any

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Anna
Tanengath, a 14-year-old Harlem
schoolgirl, is dying in an uptown
hospital as the result of eating too
much Christmas candy. She was
taken to the hospital on Saturday
night in an unconscious condition
and all the effort.' of the physicians
to revive her have been futile.
Her coma reslted, tho surgeons
says, from eating several pounds of
gaudy-colored Christmas candy
from the counter of a department
store where she had found employ
ment during the holidays. She was
munching a piece of the candy in
the store on Saturday when she
suddenly fell to the floor in con
vulsions, which ended only when
she lapsed into unconsciousness.
The police have been ordered by
the coroner's office to Investigate
the circumstances of her condition
and obtain for analysis samples of
the candy which made her ill.
