GILLETT MEN SURE
 HE WILL BE NAMED
Massachusetts Congressman May Be Next Speaker Of House

Washington, Feb. 19.-The election of Representative Frederick Gillett tMass) to the speakership of the Bixty-siXth congress virtually is as sured If a report from usually reli- able quarters is to be credited. This report is to the effect that more than 25 of the 28 votes of Pennsylvania have been organized for MT. Gillett and that this will be confirmed at meeting of the Pennsylvania delega- lion tomorrow.
 If Pennsylvania swings into line behind Gillett it is generally expected that Indiana, which has adopted the unAt rule and has taken an anti Mann stand publicly, will follow suit.
 Both Sides Make Claims.
 MT. Gillettes committee declared last night that the combination would elect it's candidates on the first ballot with votes to spare. Mr. Mann's cOm- naittee, on the other hand, declared 1t ,already had enough votes pledged 10 it's candidate to insure his election on the first ballot, without counting any strength in Indiana and not more than six of the 28 Pennsylvania votes.
 Another interesting development centers around the probability thaV one of the four votes in the New 4ork IL, for MT. Mann from the first Will ; swing to MT. GiIlett under pressure o1 public opinion in New York state
 While Senator Penrose (Pa.) re- trained from any public "overt act m HInfuencing the Pennsylvania delega- ti2W, it has been generally known that inc senior Pennsylvania senator, With ss other senate republican leaders, mas believed that MT. Mann's defeat IS a matter of imperative necessity for the
 republican party.
 PenrOse May Take a Hand. While he has been urged to press this view more openly on his col igwgues in the house, Senator Penrose ] has been unwilling to play a proml- |. uent part in the deliberations Of the smdelegation at the other end of the capitol.
 Yesterday, however Senator Pen 2ase was waited upon by delegation from the house and urged strongly 10 take a. hand. It was shown that a number of votes in the delegation have been wavering and that the yensNor's influence would swing the balance of power. Following this con ference it was announced that meet ing of the delegation had been called for today and that it was hoped some definite stand would be taken at the meeting.

TROLLEY FARES TOO ] LOW, MANAGER SAYS
tCortnucd from Fir, Page ,

items, it is virtually a tax of $2,100 per car per annum,' said MT. Punder- ford, and it seems at this time prop CT to call attention to competition which seems to us to be unfair to the street railway and which may lead to ultimate disaster to the residents Of this state, namely, the jitney."
 These vehicles, numbering between QUO and TOO operate in competition with our service. Each vehicle pays 10 the state, in various forms of tax. from $lS to $25 per car per annum, run Wnere and when they please, oft on operated by irresponsible, non- English speaking drivers of very little skill and carrying passengers for Q unit fare a very short distance and without transfer, With 10 respOnsibi1- ltY as rule for accidents they may cause, and running over the pave ments paid for by the state cities and street railway companies, prac- tically without charge. If street rail- ways have to cease operating, it is hardly conceivable what class of serv- ice will be given and what rates of fare will be charged by the iitneys."
 MT. Punderford made reference to the finances of the Connecticut com- pany in the following words: 'I1 these times of financial difficulties of street railways we often hear aSser- tons made that the cause is 'Watered stock Since the acquirem ent of street railway properties in this state by the Nnw York New Haven & Hartford Railroad company and the Connecticut company, $16, 100000 has been expended upon betterments of the lines owned by the Connecticut company and $5,000,000 on lines leas- ed by the Connecticut company, mak- ing a total of $21 100000 which has been taken out of earnings and against which no securities have been issued.
 If the unfortunate financial condi- tion of the Connecticut company were confined to this company alone, it might well be said that this condition has been brought about through in1z proper financing or management But the above is not the case, inasmuch IS practically every street railway in the country finds itself in desperate straits.'
 In concluding his talk MT Pundcr- ford said. The public must realize that every burden placed upon the company by the state must be reflect ed ultimately in the rate charged to the passenger
 MT. Punderford said that the com~ pany has experts at work on a plan to establish d zone system of payment throughout the state.
 John C. Loomis of the Commercial Trust company presided at the meet ing. President E. w. PeltOn of the chamber of commerce announced that he would be pleased to have members suggest topics for discus sion at the monday luncheons. s. W. Davidson suggested that live topics he discussed, such as the encroach- ments made by the factory co-opera- tive stores. He also alleged that the factories were not paying their just share of taxes and recommended that subject for discussion.
