The proposed stae of the House Is Hectical with that provided for In the rumparker bill pa'ied bv the Hou at the last session of Congress, but not 'ted upon bjr the Senate. The Houston bill, parsed today, leaves to the Legts latures of the different states the power to rearrance the Conrreseional district In their respective states on the new population basts of one member for each ni. Inhabitants. Mrrubt-riiip Not Kotrlcted. The two Important amendments pro pose and defeated today were to pu the re-dutrlctlnar power In the hands of the Governors of states when th Iirislsture bad failed to act: and to limit the House In the future to a mem bershlp of 43i or 3. leaving future re apportionments to the iecretary of tVmmerce and Labor.

The amendment offered earlier by t'rumpai ker. formerly the Republican chairman of the committee on census. which has charge of the reapportion ment subject, to give the governors of state power to carry out the rearrange ment of Congressional districts was de ciareU by Hamlin of Missouri. Iemo- crat. to be a deliberate effort of Repub lican politicians to give the Republican Governor of Missouri power to make up the new districts, so that Republican districts might be constructed by ger rymanderlng methods." Missouri lears Gerrymander. Hamlin said that with the Crtim paoker amendment as a part of the bill, the Republican Governor of Missouri could veto the reapportionment made by the Democratic Legislature and could then carry out the reapportion ment measure. Rartholdt. Republican, also from Mis souri, challenged this statement and asserted the last Ivmocratle measure t it reapportioned the Congressional districts of Missouri had violated the Federal statutes by making the districts of greatly varying sixr. The Increase of the else of the House was agreed to by members of both parties, but many Republicans attacked 1; on the ground that It would make th House more unwieldy. Insurgent Republicans were particular ly vigorous In opposing the Increase, de riarlng that. If It were not for the Iemocrats of those states that would otherwise lose members, there would be a general sentiment In favor of keeping the membership at tne present ftjure of L PLEDGE TO PEOPLE BROKEN C olorado Governor Vetoes Banking Bill In Savage Message. DENVER. April 27. In a letter sent to the House of Representatives today. tJovemor Fhafroth sharply criticised the state banking bill passed yester day by the Senate as a measure, "no more r sembllng the measure promised t:-.e people than night resembles day." The letter created a sensation. The bill eimt before the House today on first reading. "When introduced." said Governor Shafroth In bis letter, "the measure was Intended to comply with the Demo cratic platform pledge relating to bank guarantee laws. It no more resembles the measure promised the people thsn r.lght resembles day. Its author his repudiated the bill and had his name taken from It. The bill contalna no provision whatever for a State guaran tee fund aa promised In the Democratic platform. "Yon bave been In session for on hundred and thirteen days, twenty three days longer than any session for the last thirty years, and not a pledge has been redeemed. Is there any ex ruse for such a failure? Are we to affirm the saying that platforms are made to get In on, but not to stand on. "He who thinks that such a betrayal can be made without censure and con demnation, little nnderstanda the trend of events now taking place In all parts of the United States In behalf of rule of the people. I warn you now that an avalanrhe of public sentiment Is com ing, as sure aa rlaht Is right, against tiose who refuse to redeem their con traits of honor." The tiovernor concludes by urging the House to make the bill conform to j the platform pledge. i -1 WILLIAM riERCB FRYE. FRANCE TO STEP IN Republic Will Send 10,000 Men to Pacify Morocco.
