London, Nov s-The Liberals are
jubilant and the Unlonists are proper
tionately disgruntled over the results
OF the by elections In the Cleveland
and East Toxteth divisions, The large
increase in the Liberal majority in the
Cleveland division is generally admitted
even by the Conservative organs to be
due to dissatisfaction with the educa-
ton bill, which is stll vending its way
through the house Of commons. In the
East Toxteth division the reduction OF
the unlonist majority by over 1900 was
greatly due TO curious feature unas-
scciated with public political controver-
sizes. Austin Taylor who Just managed TO
win the seat, had taken prominent

A PUBLIC NEWS CENSORSHIP"
One Was Established at Police HEADQUARTERS Today and Woe
Betide the Officer Who Dares Break FReporters
Ruled Out and Shut Out

news censorship was established

ter has been under contemplation and
partial enforcement for some time. To-
day It was made complete. The word
was given by Chief Of Police Paul that
reporters are to be hereafter entirely
bsrred out Of the sergeants Office
where news Items were once obtained,
and that They are not only ruled out
but shut out"
The only fair thing about II Is the
fact that all Of the newspapers are
placed on the same footing. The ex-
cuse for the new rule Is. that the news
papers have been publishing too much
about the operations OF criminals and
the compromises that have been
brought about between them and the
police. The news, 1t appears, must now
be suppressed at all hazards. The

His father, step-mother and MISS
Coates we're present at the proceedings
today, and, during the arguments. the
women gave vent to their feelings by
shedding tears at frequent intervals,
GROUNDS FOR TRIAL.
The grounds for new trial urged by
the defense are, that the verdict was
contrary to law; that 1t was contrary 10
the evidence introduced at the trial;
and that the verdict was rendered by
other than the fair expression OF opin-
ion on the part OF all the jurors sena'
tor Brown and Atty. Frank HOFFMAN
argued on behalf of defendant. Judge
King was present but did not argue on
the motion at all. District Atty. Eichnor
made very brief argument In oppos'
ing the motion.
The principal contention Of the attor-
neys for the defense was that the YER
Dict was rendered by other than the fair
expression OF opinion on the part Of the
Jurors. They areped that nine OF the
Jurors had been sworn and ac-
cepted TO try the case. and
were IN the custody Of the
balliffs in their rooms at the Harmon
block on Sunday, Sept. II, when Miles
Romney shot Harry Strong in a saloon
below their rooms, and that at least
three OF the Jurors saw Strong come
out of the saloon and fall to the walk
with blood squirting from his wounds,
and saw Deputy Sheriff Pratt arrest
Romney, and discussed the shooting
among themselves, and hence the at
torneys contended that they allowed
