HOMES ARE OVERCROWDED
More Children Left Homeless This
Year Than in Any Previous One

The Children S Aid Society has been
called upon to play an important part
in the last six days. For some unex-
plained cause the demand for homes
for unearei for children is greater this
year than any previous time.
In many instances the little ones
have made many homes happy, espe-
cially the homes where they fill the
chairs made vacant by the death of a
former occupant. Now, during the
Christmas season, is apparently the
time to do good and charitable deeds
and as the homes are overcrowded it
is suggested that if some or the famil.
les that have been robbed of their lit
tie ones would adopt one of these
homeless little tots.
Mrs. Elsie V. Middleton, general
secretary of the Children's Aid So
ciety, is hard at work in the associa-
tions rooms, North Market square.

crowded condition of these homes.

BRUMBAUGH PICKED AMBLER
Philadelphians Says Governor-elect Se-

NSpeclal TO the Star-lndependent)
Philadelphia, Dec. 22.-Governor-
elect Brumbaugh is given complete
credit in political circles here for the
stating of Charles A. Amber for the
Speakership of the next House of Rep
resentatives. While DR.. Brumbaugh has
declined to comment upon the action
of the leaders in accepting his choice
for the position, his friends made no
secret of their delight that the school
man has been permitted to have his
own way in starting his administra-
tion.
In the inner circles of the Organiza-
tion, it was stated yesterday that Am.
bier had not been seriously considered
for the Speakership until the middle of
last week. The Wares at the time de.
sired that William H. Wilson be named
for the place, but strong opposition
was aroused against still further fat
tening the list of big jobs held by
Phlladelphians. Senators Penrose and
McNichol favored Richard J. Baldwin
for the position, and with the progress
has candidacy was making with the
country members, his nomination ap-
peared assured.
DIR. Brumbaugh, however, asserted
his own interest in the selection of the
Speaker. Ambler's record was scrutin
lied and met with his approval. Am
bier then called upon the Governor.

for presentation to the leaders. who
then shifted their support from Bald

WAIT FOR ABBOTT Is IN VAIN
Man Who Wants Commission Fired
Didn't Arrive This Morning

Capitol Hill was on tine watch to-

was scheduled to appear here this
morning and request Governor Tener
to investigate the Puoli> Service Com
mission with a view 10 its impeach-
meus and removal from office on
charges to be preferred by Mr.. Abbott
to the effect that the recent decision in
the passenger rate ease was tod to the
railroad companies before it was com
municated to Mr.. Abbott. He is the at
torney for the eomplaiuants in the
case. Mr.. Abbott holds the law has
been violated by the commission.
Governor Tener, who had read in the
papers that Mr.. Abbott was going to
call and make mis- charges, waited for
several hours for the Philadelphia law.
yer to appear with his grievance, but
no Mr.. Abbott appearing by noon, the
Governor returned to the Executive
Mansion for the day
Later il was learned that Mr.. Alb
bolt planned TO hold a conference to-
day in Philadelphia with the com,
plainants. the Business Men 5 League
and the Commuters Association. with
view to arranging campaign
against the commission.
ABBOTT also has another grievance
in that the commission has set January
5. and Harrisburg as the time and
place, for hearing further argument in
the passenger rate ease. Mr.. Abbott
insists that the rehearing ought to be
held in Philadelphia. thus saving the
eomplainants the Inconvenience of
coming to Harrisburg. None of the
commissioners was in Harrisburg to-
day. They will not DE here until Jan.
uary 4, having adjourned until after
