POSSIBLE STARVATION IS
 FACING RUHR RESIDENTS
Official Dispatches Show French Will Have Trouble Feeding Mill
 lions There.

Washington, Jan. 19, (By Associated Press) Economic aspects of the French occupation of the Ruhr valley are attracting increasing attention here and the view is held in some quarters that the economic problem now confronting the French is noth- ing less than a question of how to prevent starvation among the several million inhabitants of the valley.
 Official dispatches indicate that food shortage of serious proportions became evident immediately after the French military authorities moved in and declare that real suffering now exists in many places. Those who have knowledge ( the industrial con- ditions and the topography of the re- zion al it bears on the food supplies view this situation with great alarm.
 The Rukr valley normally imports approximately 75 per cent of all the food it uses, according to government records. The 500.O0e miners and sew eral hundred thousand other indus trial workers there must therefore de- pend almost wholly on outside food sources.

Cut In Rates, Effective All Over State, Will Take Place Either In March Or April, Says Utilities Commission.
Cost of Removing Snow So Great That Lower Rates Cannot Be Put Into Effect During Winter Months.

Hartford. Jan. 19.-The Con- necticut Go. will in March or April put into effect a state wide reduction in trolley fares. This was the announcement made today by Chairman Rich ard T. Higgins of the public utilities commission. The new fare rate will be two rides for 15 cents.
 Bridgeport may not get this new fare rate because of the five cent fare arrangement for city lines. But with this one possi- ble exception Mir. Higgins said, the reduced cost of trolley ride tokens will be effective in the spring on every Connecticut Co. line in the state.
 MT. Higgins said that the cost of snow removal was so great this year it was felt that the three rides for a quarter plan should continue through the winter months. The present rate for three rides became ef- fective last March. Permission to increase flat fare rates from 2 to 10 cents was granted by the public utilities commission in the fall of 1920.
 Not Seen About Tokens.
 New Haven. Jan. 19.-President l.. s. Storrs of the Connecticut Co. this afternoon said he was unable to con- firm the report that trolley fares to be reduced under the token plan. He said the matter had been discussed but he was not prepared to make any announcement.

|DRY AGENTS AND J. 5.
 CUSTOMS MEN CONFER
Mysterious Meeting in New YOrk-Rum Fleet Still
 Off Coast

New York, Jan. 19.-A veil of SC,
 crecy was thrown about conference
 on prohibition enforcement in this vi
 cinity held todsy at the custom house between custom officials and prohibi tion enforcement authorities.
 It was assumed that the chief topic
 for discussion would be how to cope
 with the rum fleet which for more than a week has been camping off the Jersey coast, but acting collector of the port Stuart announced that the session would be executive and that no statement would be forthcoming at the close.
 Accompanying Mr. Stuart in the conference was Deputy Surveyor San ders. The dry forces were reported by E. c. Yellowley acting federal prohibition director for New York state and John D. Appleby in charge of marine activities in this zone.
 Only six casualties have been re- ported in the rum fleet which al- though varying from day to day main tains an average strength of about 20 vessels. Five craft were captured by coast guards the first night of ex- tensive rum running and a trawler be- licved to have been a unit of the feet burned to the waters edge yester- day.
 Dry agents have consistently de- cined to state the strength of their navy in this district, and today even more doubt arose concerning it's strength.
 Several custom officials frankly ad- nitted that the announcement made ast week that the cruiser Lexington had been armed with machine guns was propaganda to throw fear into he smugglers. X vessel bearing the lame Lexington has been lying for . nore than a week at the Battery, | covered with rust and showing no machine guns or other weapons.
 Custom officials admitted that the lnly craft available last Thursday vhen the five prizes were captured If Highlands N. J., was the small aunch Surveyor and that after the fargaret B., and Evelyn w.. alleged tim runners, were caught, she had to e used in making other captures.
 Custom men pointed out that most f their flotilla comprised vessels too ,rge to. chase rum running launches ito shoal water. It was pointed out, or example, that the cutter Manhat- m drew 12 feet and could not be ' close to shore.

France Browns On League Of Nations Mediation Until Re- suit Of Occupation Is Known.
Germany Officially Denies Thought of Sending Mis- sion of Complaint to Treat With England.
(By the Associated Press)

French threats to enforce rep arations payments by confisca- tions were made good today by the seizure of several state mines in the Ruhr valley and various Reichsbank branches.
 Mine managers and directors were arrested in some cases. Miners in some of the seized pits threatened to quit if the French entered, it was reported.
 Additional German resistance to French efforts to ship coal developed in the refusal of the Essen district railway adrninis- tration to dispatch coal trains.
 General Strike Called
 Orders for strike of all the freight railwaymen in the Ruhr were received from Berlin and a general strike of these em- ployes was expected before night.
 Reichsbank branches in vari- ous parts of the Ruhr and the Rhineland were seized by the French who claim the Germans were attempting to remove their funds to unoccupied Ger many.
 The French carried out their intention to take over the customs districts of the Rhineland. They took posses sion of the customs and coal tax funds. The state forests also were seized.
 Reports of possible mediation between the allies and Germany y the league of nations were discounted in Paris where it is aid the French feel they cannot to such a step until the esults of the occupation become

CONN. MAN MENTIONED
 AS NEW FLOOR LEADER
Congressman John Q. TilsOn of New Haven Named as
 Possibility for Position
nr e:rnneE H. MANNING

cwsshinrton Bureau of New Britain Herald) | Washington, D. C., Jan. 19.-The name of Representative John Q. Til son of New Haven, Conn.,, has come quite prominently to the front in the mast few days in the discussion
 around the capitol of candidates Tor
 republican floor leader of the house in the next congress.
 Frank Mondell, the present leader will not be a member of the next con gress He was candidate in Wyo- ming last fall for the senate but was
 defeated by Senator-elect Kendrick,
 democrat. He appears to be the lead
 ing candidate to succeed MT. Fall as
 secretary of the interior.
 Mr. Tilson is one of the most
 prominent and popular members of
 the house of which he has been
 member for IA years except for the two years of the 63d congress, when the New Haven district elected democrat.
 He is a member of the ways and means committee from which the leader is usually chosen. If the re- publicans should abandon for this time the rule of seniority and not elect Representative Nicholas Long, worth as the next leader, MT. Til- sons chances appear as good as those of any of the other candidates for the place.
 Mir. Tilson is not making cam paign for the place. but is a receptive and many of his friends are boosting him. It seems certain that he can get the solid vote of the New England delegations, except for those | who are already pledged to support | Mir. Longworth.
 On the numerous occasions that MT. | rilson has been chosen by Speaker Iillett to preside over the house he nas shown rare qualities of leader ship and tho frankness and fairness ,f his decisions has won him many friends and supporters.
 Mir. Tilson served as speaker of the l. house Of representatives, turing the session of 1907.
 At this moment it appears that Nicholas Longworth of ,hio has commanding lead for the epubican leadership over any of the ther candidates. The most promi- ent opponent of Mir. Longworth at resent is Representative William J. iraham of Illinois. who has strong upport from the west.
 Conceding that there will be no ex- "a session Of congress right after ad- burning of this congress on March th. it is improbable that the new re- ublican leader will be elected until I ne regular session next December or pom the possible convening of an xtra session before then. II
 Connecticut has never had but one ,eaker of the United States house [ representatives. He was Jonathan rumbulI who was speaker Of the 2d ,ngress. and served from October 24, 791 to May s, 17s2.
