WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The
United States census just an-;
nounced will not Increase the num
bers of the house of 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 194,182 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 followrng 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.

In looks Mrs. Lowther, or "F.

How she happened to start to
Barnard was this. On her trips

as she expressed it herself, she
wanted to know enough "to order

So she started to Barnard with
the expectation of taking a special

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 .Tas. A.
Rich, building contractor, of 834
Railroad avenue, but his long Suf
fering martyrdom wavered when
his wife insisted that her pet
poodles be permitted to sleep with
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.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—The
New York News Bureau, a
Wall Street organ, believes
that the financial world will be
pleased with the selection of
Justice White as chief justice
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
tutional law.

didn't look as a man ready for the
grave in the least I believe he is
going to get well."

Several score of workmen thrown
out of employment by the failure
of the Sibley Contracting com

money owing them by the concern
and no way of collecting the same,
have been making their headquar

trying to secure assistance from
the mayor in the collection of their
accounts.
Mayor Pratt is unable, however,
to assist them in any way, as there
are no available funds of the cor

the work done by the company un
til the completion of the contract.

BY PETER POWER.
JOHN MITCHELL TO QUIT
AS LABOR LEADER.
John Mitchell Is serving his last
term as vice president of the
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 le
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
ers and the struggle between the
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
nois vice president. Neither is
very strongly identified with any
faction. c

(By United Press Leased Wire)
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 efforts of the physicians
to revive her have been futile.
Her coma reslted, the 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.
