BALF0UR BEATEN
CHURCHILL WINS
brm:r Premier Of Great Britain S
DOwned By An Obscure Lawy.r.
SOME LARGE GAINS BY THE LIBERALS.
Winston Churchill Wins ia Another Division
Of Manehester-Th Liberals Gain IS Seats
Ia Elections Held In 80 Constituencies 10
Important ceniers--Lsborltes Secure -Four
New Seats

London (By Cable) Former Premier
Balfour was beaten for reelection in
Manchester, his opponent, an obscure
lawyer named Horridge turning a con-
servative plurality of 1880 into a liberal
of 2453.
Winston Churchill, running in con-
servative district, was elected by a plur-
ali,y OF I24I turning over a tory dis
trict majority of I47I.
The outcome was the most astonish-
ing ever known in England The defeat
of the tories has been overwhelming
extraordinary. As the great liberal sue
cess is bound to have a mighty influence
on the other elections 10 be held in the
next few days, the indications are that
the liberals will sweep the entire country
and probably have a good working ma
jority in the House OF Commons
The scope Of the liberal victory is well
illustrated in the returns. In the thirty
five constituencies representing seats in
Parliament the liberals have captured
thirty-four seats and the tories six For
merly the conservatives held twenty
six of these seats and the liberals four
teen, clear gain OF twenty votes in the
House for the liberals
Six OF the thirty-four candidates elect
ed by the liberals arc labor candidates.
Their success indicates that the labor
candidates in various constituencies must
be given consideration in the future cleo
tions, and they will probably be force
TO be reckoned with in the House. 1t
has been the aim Of the labor leaders to
hold the balance of power in the next
House, and while it is still too early to
predict the ultimate composition OF that
body, the success OF the party has en-
couraged the leaders to believe they will
achieve their ambition.
Saturdays elections have given heavy
blow to Mr.. Chamberlain's fiscal policy
program. The voters have spoken in no
uncertain tone on the subject Of protec-
tion, showing in the enormous majori-
ties given the liberal candidates their
favor for free trade
Lancashire, according to the returns,
has gone solid for free trade, and York
shire is following its lead In the two
elections held in London likewise the
voters spoke their preference for free
trade. The liberals carried both cleo
tions. One seat they formerly held, but
there the majority lcaped upward, and
in the second division. a conservative
stronghold, the liberal candidate was sue
cessful.

Secretary of War Taft, the first witness,
was interrogated with view to acqur-
ing information needed as a guidance
for an intelligent investigation. He gave
a list of department chiefs and told some
thing of the duties of each, so that the
committee is now in possession of knowl-
edge that is to be used in calling the
proper witness to bring out whatever
facts may be desired
The meeting chiefly was for the pur-
pose of formulating a programme for
