BALLARD IN VIII. SON
 CAMP
King Doesn't Call on Mayor on His Recent Visit and Then Ballard Pays a Visit-Up Stat CTS May Be Leaning Toward Wilson.

Following the act Of Mayor Wilson in putting through the city ordinance in favor of the Connecticut Company and attempting to comply with their wish to drive the jitneys from the city the Mayors chances of the Republi- can nomination for governor have frightened materially and the upstate politicians are now said to look with favor on his candidacy for that exa1t- ed position. County Commissioner Frank Bal lard, the local representative of the upstate machine has been in con- sultation with the mayor several occasions during the past week while the jitney-trolley situation was l under discussion and it is the belief of those who are in a position to know that Ballard has been the go- between who has convinced the mayor that under certain conditions the up- | state leaders would call off the cam paign against Mayor Wilson and would, when the proper time arrived l see that he received his reward in I the shape of the nomination for gov l ernor.
 l Coupled with the fact of the visits l of Commissioner Ballard, the fact vouched for by friends of John T King, that at his recent short stay | in this city King was unable to have 1 a personal conference with Mayor | Wilson, it is claimed that the mayor
 has deserted King. and cast his for. | tunes with the upstate leaders. | Kings reported statement in Chi. i cago that Bridgeport would go Dem. ocratic by 5000 or 5000 at the com. | Ing election has caused considerable I worry to the national and state lead
 CTS of the G. 70. P. and they have
 decided to compel King to live up tc statements that he has made tha
 he was through with politics in thi city.
 The jitney-trolley situation gave tn,
 leaders their chance to enter tn.
 Bridgeport field and they were no slow in taking advantage of it.
 The financial difficulties of tn,
 trolley roads of course interested
 the state Republican leaders. And i
 was up to these leaders to extricat
 the trolley company from the mis
 takes and nismanagement of the rail
 road operators.
 1 With these conditions in view tn
 first thing to do was to tackle tn | jitney situation in Bridgeport, whel
 the jitneurs carried more than one , half of the travelling public. and ge
 laws passed that would crush tn
 jitneys there.

CONTINUE HEARING ON TROLLEY TRAGEDY

, Coroner John Phelan continued the hearing and investigation this morn ing of the death of fourteen year old Samuel Birmingham, who was killed in front of his home on North avenue, Monday afternoon. The motorman, Harry Roberts, is being held on the charge of manslaughter, until the in- vestigation is completed.

He stated that the trolley had passed another trolley, which was go- ing in the opposite direction, about 25 feet from the scene of the acci- dent.

$2,OOO,OOO DUE IN PUBLICUTILITYT TAX

Hartford, July 16-The taxes of public utility corporations operating in Connecticut were due yesterday but the companies have ten days in which to make payments. It was said at the state tax commissioner 8 office that a total of approximately $2,0O0,0OO will be realized this year from the public utility taxes, those assessed against the Connecticut Go. amounting to $40O,000. At the pres ent time, the Connecticut company owes the state about s1,000,o00 in unpaid taxes. With the exception of the Shore Line Railway, now in the hands of a receiver, it is the only large public utility corporation in the state which has had difficulty in meeting it's state tax ol legations.
 Taxes on public utilities vary: railroads are assessed 1-2 per cent; street railways 4 1-2 per cent; express companies per cent; telephone companies f per cent and telegraph companies per cent. The tax rate for other cororations differs accord ing to nature of business. Five steam railways and twelve street railways are on the tax list but the majority of the public utility corporations are engaged in supplying water and cleo tric power. Taxes are based on gross receipts for calendar year. At pres ent the tax commissioners office is getting out the net income tax sheets l which will be ready on August 1.

DEALERS AGREE ON
 HIGH COAL REASON

Hartford, July 16-Unanimity of opinion as to the cause of the high price of coal was developed among dealers in that line of fuel who were canvassed yesterday afternoon, the cause being, according to the sellers, high price at the mines and conges- ton in the coal transportation arter- ies. Anthracite coal is $1140 to $12.50 in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, so the dealers declared. The acute shortage of cars and other elements have pushed freight charges to $3.30 e ton.
 Bituminous coal is selling $17 f. O. b. at South Amboy, Perth Amboy and New York Harbor. Some dealers were able a while ago to buy at $1O a ton at the mines, but now the figure is about SIP to s15. This soft coal is difficult to secure even a,
 these prices. Retail prices of bitu- ! minous are about $15 to SIS. Whole. sale prices vary almost from day tc day. A dealer said yesterday that noth l ing in the coal line could be shipped | by rail on the New Haven" system | except by obtaining a permit from J l o. Halliday of New Haven, superin | tendent of transportation.

Resolute Will. Be In Trim For Second Race

Sandy Hook, N. J., July 16.-Repairs on Resolute, whose throat halyards parted in yesterdays race when vic tory over Shamrock W. seemed well in hand, proceeded rapidly today and there was every prospect that the de- fender would be in readiness for an- other Americas Cup match tomorrow.
 A new metal gaff was put in place. Nat Herreshoff, designer and builder of the Resolute, superintended the re- pairs.
 Sailors on the Resolute declared that the challenger could not lift the cup in a fifteen mile beat to wind ward yesterday in light airs, in which the Upton sloop is supposed to show to best advantage. The American rac- ing machine beat the Englishman, boat for boat, witho considering Resolute's time allowance of six min utes, 40 seconds.
 The Shamrock's crew were happy today aboard their tender Killarney while Sir Thomas Lipton beamed on visitors who called to congratulate
 him on board his steam yacht, the Victoria.
 The accident to Resolute, coming on top of three other major mishaps ear Her in the season-the loss of the mast off New Haven, the breaking of the jaws of the gaf and the carrying away of a topmast off Newport-had a tendency to shake faith in the a,bil- ity of the Herreshoff creation to hold together until the end of the season. In yesterdays race, however, the Resolute exhibited better herly qualities In light airs she appeared several minutes faster up the breeze than Shamrock ", although it was
 on just such a point of sailing and under such conditions that the chal- lenger was supposed to be superior. 1 The two yachts have yet to test their abilities down the breeze or broad off under large reaching sails 1 This is expected to come tom orrow in @ 30-nni1e race over a triangular course It is believed that Designer Nichol- son and Captain Burton of Sha mr0ck W. will endeavor to obtain a rem cas- l urement of the challenger in the hope | of reducing the handicap time allow
 ance since the challenger is using 9 much smaller club topSal than was included in the original measurement
