ACTION BRINGS SURPRISE.
Arms Parley Delegates See Resig-
nation Over Vatican.

By the Associa ted Press
The decision Of the Italian cabinet
to resign. as reported in Rome by the
semi-official Stefanf Agency, came as
considerable surprise to the Italian
arms conference delegation.
Spokesman for the delegation. in the
absence OF more informat ton. were not
inclined to comment to any extent. but
some members of the delegation ex-
pressed the opinion that if the minis
try is obliged to withdraw it may be
on account of its policy in connection
with the Vatican. The attitude of the
government in placing the Italian
flag at half-staff when Pope Benedict
died and preparations for some official
manifestation of sympathy in the
chamber of deputies had brought forth
expressions of disapproval from the
opposition party.
1t is presumed by Italians here that
if the ministry resigns it will result
as is customary. from an adverse vote
in the chamber of deputies. No direct
official Information has been received
by the Italian representatives here.

CHOICE LIES BETWEEN SIX
Opinion Held That Cardinal Gas.
parri Has Best Chance.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON. February c.-The Rome
correspondent of the Times tele-
graphs that when the numerous
opinions as to who will succeed Pope
Benedict are sifted the names which
stand out are those of Cardinals Gas
parri, Ratti. Maffi. La Fontaine
Lualdi and Granite. with the ex-
ception of Cardinal Granite. all of
them have been consistently mention
ed as possible choice. Cardina
Granite is Bishop of Albano, is
seventy years old. and was raised to
the purple in 1850
The Times correspondent adds that
it is probably safer to mention no
names at all, but emphasizes that
no cardinal. with the exception of
Gasparri, stands much chance for
election.
He quotes "a very well informed
quarter as saying that either Mgr
Cerretti. papal nuncio in Paris, or
Mgr Pacelli. nuncio in Berlin, would
succeed Gasparri as secretary of
state. The fact that neither of them
is cardinal will not create prec-
edent, as Merry Del Val was not a
cardinal when Plus Y appointed him
to the position.

ADMITS CAR FARES
YIELD LD1Q26PERCENT
Hamilton Asks 8 Per Cent for
Traction Company-Ham
Opposes Cut ON w. R. & E.

The Capital Traction Company ad-
mitted before the Public Utilities
Commission today that continuation
of the present fare during 1922 would
yield that company more than rea-
sonable return on the value of the
property.
In a statement filed with the COM
mission when the rate hearing was
resumed this morning George E.
Hamilton, president of the Capital
Traction. contended the company
should be allowed to earn per cent
on fair value of the property. The
statement disclosed, however. that the
existing fare of five tokens for S5
cents, if continued throughout this
year, would yield 1926 per cent on the
valuation.
exactly what fare the commission
should fix for his company. but he did
say it should not be lower than
cents cash or four tokens for rs cents.
Discussing the future rate of fare,
Mr.. Hamilton's petition read:
IF the present rate of fare is con-
tinued for the year 1922 we estimate
it will produce an operating income
amounting to 1926 per cent on fair
value.
Five.Cent Cash Fare Opposed.
"A rate of fare of cents cash and
2 cents charge for all transfers.
which, in accordance with the COM
missions order, will go into effect on
and after March 1, 1922, unless other
wise ordered, will yield a.03 per cent
on our fair value, as found by the
commission.
"A rate of fare Of Z cents cash,
with four tickets for 25 cents, would
yield .sre.Ss6" per cent on said fair
value -
I'VE accordingly submit that the
missions order No. 429, 5 cents cash,
with twoscent charge for transfers,
would be entirely unreasonable and
conf1scatory, and that under present
conditions a rate of fare of cents
cash., four tickets for % cents. would
be insufficient to net q ,fa1r return on
the value of the property used>by the
public, and that no fare lower than
that should be considered.
I'VE, furthermore, desire to reiterate
the position taken by us at previous
fare hearings that different rates Of
fare on tho lines OF THIS company anu
those of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company would be extremely
detrimental to the interests of the pub
Ilcaas well as: the interests of this COM
rany." i% 't+-
Maryland Lines Show Dehcit.
Mr.. Hamilton's petition shows that
the two short lines of the Capital Trac-
ton Company running in MARYLAND
showed deficit last year of $s.s36.z6.
The petition states that the company
does not regard this as a. burden upon
the car riders Of the District, for the
reason that without these Maryland
feeders there would be a considerable
reduction in District revenues.
Mr.. Ham, in his testimony yesterday.
figured that the washington Railway

Forecasts had indicated that the
Bonomi ministry's internal and for

parliament assembled today. A sharp
dispute has arisen over the govern

Some sections of parliament were
blaming the government for the fact
that Italy had been left out of the
Pacific pact framed at the Washing

cause she had been excluded from
the arrangement between France and
Great Britain for the protection OF
the former from possible German as-

between the fascist and the COM
