RECIPROCITY NOW
IN SENATE, AWAITS
COMMITTEE ACTION
Leaders Must Organize Be-
fore Work Starts-Pen-
rose With Pact.

The reciprocity measure reached the
Senate this afternoon. 1t was sent over
from the House, and without discussion
was referred to the Finance Committee.
That committee cannot take II up until
there is reorganization, which will not
be until the last Of the week.
Contrary to the general impression
the new chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania. will stand with the Administra-
ton on reciprocity. Being head of the
Finance Committee, Senator Penrose
will be In position to do much to further
the ratification of the Canadian agree
ment.
Senator Penrose has told some of his
friends he is for the reciprocity agree
ment. In taking this position. he is at
variance with his colleague, Senator
Oliver. The latter has come out In
strong terms against the agreement.
Considerable wonderment is expressed
how 1t is that Penrose, head of the Re
publican machine In Pennsylvania
should be taking a stand for reciprocity
and his colleague should be opposing It,
This wonderment is In part due to the
fact both have generally lined up for
the highest tariff duties obtainable.
1t is said that one element in the
situation is that Penrose is from Phila-
delphia, which is a great consuming
center, and where the sentiment for
reciprocity is strong. Oliver comes from
Pittsburg. which is the great center for
the protective tariff sentiment in renn-
sylvania.
The best evidence Is that the United
States. Steel Corporation is friendly to
the reciprocity agreement This is not
true of most of the big protected in
terests, but seems to be true of the
Steel Corporation. which is not afraid
of competition. Senator Penrose is gen.
orally found lining up against anything
opposed by the Steel Corporation. On
the other hand. there are big steel and
iron interests in Pennsylvania which do
not want any letting down of the bars
Penrose does not always line up with
the Steel Corporation and the Pennsyl-.
vania railroad. however. 1t Is we'll
known that H. c. Frick. who is promi-
nent in both these corporations, tried
some months ago to get Secretary Knox
nominated for governor. He failed be-
cause Penrose put his foot down on
the project. Had Knox been made gov
ernor ne would have eventually returned
to the Senate.

would never submit to Sullys exam

Serious. conflict which may have far
reaching effects is raging in the board
of directors of the Washington Gas
, Light Company. Evidence of its scope
is offered by the fact that Joseph
Letter, one ofrthe directors, issued a
statensnt denying the announcement
of Richard H;-Goldsborough, another
director, concerning the plans for re-
dUcing the price of gas in Georgetown
and ultimately merging the, two COM
panies.
1t is learned today that notwithstand-

tee from the board of the Washington
company and another from the board
of the Georgetown company are con-
ferring over the details of the plan an
nounced Saturday by Colonel Colds
borough and that they expect to reach
an agreement soon. Mr.. Letter is on
the Washington company's committee
and is, in fact, taking the leading part
in the negotiations.

in the controversy.
The next annual meeting of the Wash

til FehrLASy. If there actually exists a
movement to wrest control from the

that the plans for the Georgetown COM
