The Rapid Transit Co.'s offer to operate the Frankford elevated and pay ." per cent on the city's investment in thnt line was described today as "n fair offer" by Colonel Sheldon Potter, a city representative on the company's board of directors. Colonel Potter pointed out that while the 5 per cent payment would meet the Interest on the city's bond iues,. it would not help in the retirement of the debt. Funds for paying off the debt, which will total $1.1.000,000. must be pro vided either by taxation or from some other source, he declared. "I think it is n perfectly plain offer," commented Colonel Potter. "There is nothing noncommittal about it. Five per cent on the city's investment is a fair offer. "While 3 per cent will pay the in terest on our bonds. It will not amortize them. We must either look to taxation for amortization of the debt or other sources. To pay the city's 5 per cent the company must secure enough from the riders to insure such payment." The .r per cent payment offer was made bv Thomas K. Mitten, president of the Rnnid Transit Co., in reply to n requct from Mayor Moore, who asked on what terms the company would operate the Frankford high-speed line.

Tildcn's defeat of the Japanese In straight sets a week ago in the London championship matches at the Queen's Club makes the American a big favorite, notwithstanding the view of experts that Shlmldzu's play has notably Ira proved during the Wimbledon meeting. Shlmldzu was bothered greatly early in today's mnteh owing to Its being played on the outside court. He was not used to the wind, having played most of his other games here on the protected center court- The Japanese made n wonderful recovery in the sec ond game, however, when Mavrogordato seemed to suffer from over-confidence, which finally was largely responsible for his being eliminated Gnrland fought gamely, but to the spectators it seemed that Tilden only extended himself when necessary to keep from losing n set.

Jeffery follows: "At a special meeting of the Phila delphia nnd Camden advisory board it was concluded by a vote of 20 to 21 to defer cessation of work from 11 n. m. today to a later date, but not later than 11 n. in. Monday, July 5, pending n conference at Pittsburgh Thursday, July 1, at which meeting there will be present representatives from all points, New York, St. Louis. Chicago, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Trenton and Wilmington, that the cessation of work on the Pennsylvania system will be uni form at all points, including the rank nud file of all employes, members of the American Federation of Labor or ganizations. "The officers of System Federation No. P0, which includes "the cities named in the preceding paragraph, affiliated with the American Federation of La bor, met with the Pennsylvania Rail road officials Monday morning, June 2S. and discussed the five poiuts or sub jects as enumerated In the stntement Issued by the I'hiladelphia-Caindeu ad visory board. "Tht; Pennsylvania Railroad was de sirous of knowing whether or not Sys tem rederntion No. 00. which repre sents nil the employes on the Pennsyl vania Railroad, approved and supported the action of the Philndelphla-Camden advisory board. Their answer was In the affirmative. Demand Evidence "Following this declaration on the part of the officers of System Federation No. 00. the Pennsylvania Railroad then demanded that the officers and delegates of the Philadelphia advisory board pro duce documentary evidence that would justify the railroad In dismissing the forftpen in question. However, in view of fo foremen in question having in tiruted criminal libel proceedings nt the direction nnd behest of the fcnnsyivnnia the Pennsylvania Railroad"roffered II. S. Jeffery a ?2.",000 bribe to drop the case against the foremen, it was clear in the minds of the System Federation officers, tlie officers nnd delegates of the Philadelphia and Cam den advisory board, and Mr. Jcffcry's attorneys, that the request on me pan of the Pennsylvania Railroad was not in good faith, merely camouflage, seek ing thi-i information to enable them to strengthen the case If possible. While pretending to secure information to justify the removal of the foremen, they were in reaUty endeavoring to secure information to protect them. "One of the foremen complained of has had great domestic difficulties, sep arated from his wifo and clildren, their complaint being identical with that of the railroad employes. Corrup tion, prostitution nnd vice have been put far nbove honor and virtue by the Pennsvlvania Railroad officials, and when these matters are nlred in court the public will learn fully of the. damnable practices, prostitution and corruption that exist aud which the management of the Pennsylvania Rail road indorses and upholds. Desire Formal Ratification "The action and position of the Philadelphia and Camden advisory board having been indorsed nnd sus tained by System Federation No. 00 executive board, nothing now remains to be done but a formal ratification by the advisory board of said System Fed eration No. 00, following which there will be a general cessation of work by all the employes throughout the en tire Pennsylvania system, Involving 100.000 or more men nnd women, unless the Pennsylvania Railroad recedes from its arbitrary, unjustifiable and unfair position, dismissing the foremen In question and reinstating all employes including gang leaders nnd gang fore men without loss of senlorty and with out prejudice nnd discrimination." In making public this statement, Mr. Jeffery told the newspaper men that he had been called up from Washing ton this morning by the Department of Justice nnd asked to confer tomorrow with I'nlted States railroad administra tion officials and members of the United States Labor Board. He was told, ho said, that the officials wished to de termine what the grievances of the rail road men were, and define which of the grievances dated back before last March, when the railroads were return ed to private ownership. Mr. Jeffery explained that the grievances dating prior to that time would be taken up by the I'nited Stntcs railroad administra tion ; those since then by the labor board. Explains U. S. Part in Probe Mr. Jeffery was asked what the De partment of Justice had to do with the matter, and he' explained thnt it wns the Department of Justice which was back of certain individual charges brought by the workers. Mr. Jeffery stated that on June 22 he issued an ap peal to the railroad men regarding ces sation of work. He quoted from that stntement as follows : "Thero Is, however, to be no cessa tion of work until the voto has been taken, counted and the proposed ac tion approved by the nroner nuthorl. ties. In other words, we aro going to respect and obey our own laws, and if there must be a cessation of work it will not bo Philadelphia and Cam den and vicinity by themselves, but in stead the entire Pennsylvania system. Stand up and ffery man be counted. When that Is .one, there will be but little qucstlbn Ifhat we shall hav. if a H tolt pa iho matter! the ' support of the rank and file of our members of Syscm Federation No. 00." Mr. Jeffery's statement was made to the men direct, as well as given to the, newspapers. There were many men waiting at the headquarters, 210 North Thirty-fourth street, to hca !, result of the leaders' deliberations. A statement issued this morning by the Pennsylvania Railroad on general conditions follows: "Continued improvement was shown in the situation this morning at all points on the Pennsylvania Railroad still affected by the recent partial ces sation of work. At the shops in Phila delphia this moraine there vere.97n" men nt work out of the normal force for the first 'trick of 2041, or 02 per cent. This represents n net gain of fifty-three men over the first trick yes terday. "In the Philadelphia yards 108 crews, out of a normal of 115, were working. In the Baltlmoro district yards there was no change since the last report. Thirty-five crews out of a normal of thirty-nine are, at work. In the Orangcvllle shops, near Baltimore, tweuty-nine men remained off duty on this morning's trick and these with the men still out on the other tricks make a total of sixty-seven men not work ing out of a total normal force for the twenty-four hour period, of 071. so that a 00 per cent force of the regular men arc at work. "On the Schuylkill division the nor mal number of yard crews nre being operated at all points with the excep tion of Pottsville nnd Reading, nt caqh of which there is a shortage of one crew.

Boston, June 20. (By A. P.) Governor Coolldge will go to ver mont for IiIr vacation nfter his confer ence nt Washington tomorrow with Senator Harding. Henry F.

Penrose Sees Need of Strong Cabinet Continued from Tase One is believed to bo voicing the views of the senatorial group who were the principal backers of the Harding can didacy. Their views, it is thought, will be influential in shaping the Harding campaign. "What do "you think of the 'front porch' campaign?" the senntor was asked. "Is not Senator Harding th kind of man who would win more votes by meeting the people face to face over the country?" "The so-called 'front porch' cam paign, systematically carried out, largely is a thing of the past," was tho answer. Modern methods of transporta tion nnd travel nnd progressive politlcnl ideas among the people have changed their attitude in this respect. "I hnve no doubt Senator Harding, so far as it is fair to nppcal to him, will be glad to travel throughout the country meeting the people face to face. In the past he has demonstrated his nbility as an able campaigner on the stump. Believes Middle West Safo "Do you think the stntement that the western states nre apathetic over the results of the Republican convention Is n true reflection of the situntion?" "I believe the middle western country Is sound at the core. When the issues shall be properly presented and the facts duly submitted. I have not tho slightest doubt that this section will be carried along with the general Republi can tidal wave, which I am certain will sweep the country in November." "WJint is your thought as to the kind of campaign needed to stir up the West?" "I am convinced, as the years go bv," the senator replied, "that the onlv kind of campaign with which to stir tho people is nn appeal to their reason nnd Intelligence. In the old days a torch light parade or other crude spectacular methods of the period might have been effective. Now, however, the people de mand cold facts and stroug reasoning." Can't See Third Party "Do you think the suggested third party will amount to anything? Will the farmers of the Northwest take up with it to any extent? "I do not bfilicvo there Is anything In the third party proposition this fall. Unless I am grcntly mistaken, as I have repeatedly stated, the country wants to get rid of the inefficiency nnd incompetency of the Wilson regime. The people believe this can be best ac complished by the restoration of old fashioned Republicanism. "Senator Harding represents true Republicanism. Pre-eminently he cm- bod es the well recognized Ohio Renub- licanism typified in Willinm McKlnley. . McKlnlcy'n sterling Americanism Is part of the country's history. Ills snnity nnd probity arc uencon uguts niong the pnrty's pathway. He had a kindliness of heart nnd n peculiar sentimentality which inspired him to many noble nets. From every point of view he wns n su perior man, I knew him well, ns I did other public men of the generation., "I have not been nccustomed to flntter, nor to Indulge in iidulntion. The hard nnd rough school of politics breaks one of this habit, but I believe Mc Klnlev. with his unfailing American ism, his sterling patriotism, nnd his earnest belief In the tariff nnd every thing thnt promoted American ideals, is approached about as near by Sena tor Harding as any one of' whom I know. Hasn't Heard from Johnson "Have you heard nnvthlng from Senator Johnson nnd La Follctto on the third party Idea?" "I have not heard from Senator La Follctto nor Senator Johnson during the campaign. These gentlemen nrn strong men, nnd I nm confident, in this emergency in the country's develop ment, they will be found in the Re publican column nt tho approaching election." "What kind of men do$m think the people look for In the Harding cabinet?" "I think the people are looking for hard-working men who will accomplish something. They certainly ought to abhor the Chautauqua lecturer or the misguided advocate of government own ershlp. For Instance, they nro not in sympathy with the proposed expendi ture of more thnn $5,000,000,000 on impracticable schemes of public land ownership, such ns have been advocated by a former secretary of the interior. "Moreover, I always have considered the unspeakable Daniels about as ut terly incompetent as any official could be. Ills treatment recently of General Barnett illustrates his method of deal, ing with the personnel of the navy. It is a long jump from the editorship of a North Carolina newspaperio tho con .structlon nud malntenantfPof a fleet Jn a world war.

Incompetency Incredlblo "Such inexpressible confusion and in competency is incredible In n country supposed, to be the most progressive In the world. As this state of affairs also obtained In the War Department, nnd in so many other branches of tho Amer icau government, from the President down, it can be said that -it was the American people only who fought the war and brought it to a successful con clusion. This they did notwithstanding the distracted and indescribable incom petence of the very Inferior officials in charge." "Will you have important confer ences here in Philadelphia on the na tional campaign, or do you expect to go to Washington or 'some place else?" "I doubtless shall go to Washington during the campaign, but I intend to mako my headquarters nt mv Phlladel. phla office. However, I shall be on' hand nt both places."
