RUSSIA PARLIAMENT
MEMBERS OF LOWER HOUSE ARE
 ELECTED.
The Elections show An Increase or the Conservative Party and of a More Educated Class
 Of Statesmen.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 2s--Up to noon today, twenty-four additional members of the lower house Of the third Rus sian Parliament had been elected. Of tn ese fourteen were conservatives, six Octoberists, two Constitutional Demo- crats and two members of the Left party bringing the total elected up to 2sO, and increasing the big corserva- tive lead in the coming parliament.
 On account Of the large number of big land owners elected, the new Par liament already has been christened the Masters Parliament" Very few peasants have been chosen. Usually one is required by law in each prov ince. The successful candidates em- brace a higher percentage of men have ing had a collegiate or higher school education than in the case of the for mer Parliaments, and the number of illiterates is the smallest of three Par iiaments. The titled members elected include seven princes, seven counts and seven barons. The elections every where are proceeding with perfect or der.
 The only noteworthy incident was at Minsk, where the Liberal electors with drew after q reactionary majority had elected as their first candidate man charged, was connected several years ago with selling military secrets to foreign power and was sentenced to im- prisonment in Siberia and to depriva- tion of all civil rights and who later was pardoned. General Maisenseff, of the police service, was chosen as Schmidt's colleague. HI Lashkaroff, an Octoberist, was elected unanimously. but refused to take the seat in such company.
 Most of the old reactionaries from the second Parliament. including N. Puriskevich, Shulgin, Krupensky and Sassononvich, who were suspended for disorderly conduct, and M. Sinado Kel- pofsky and De Mionivich have been elected.

 Bessemer vicinity. Ensley. the stees suburb fin the Birmingham district. was a busy place from the start to the finish of the voting. Up to 2 o'clock more than 500 votes had been east. and it was evident at that time that al- most the entire vote of the place If not all of 1t would be brought out in this contest.
 In the shrisvalty election several months back, the vote at Ensley went LID to 712.
 At Pratt city, the mining suburb, the women and children worked around the polls and the same conditions were noted at WyIafn, another mining town. Woodiawn, Avondale and East Lake, all connected to Birmingham by cleo trio lines. witnessed the scenes of wo- men around the polls serving coffee and sandwiches to the voters and call ing on them to vote against the sa- looms.
 Early this morning the women's cen tral campaign committee heceived teis- grams from Selma. Montsomery ana Anniston announcing that the women in those places were offering prayers for tie success ~ the prohibition cause in Birmingham and Jefferson county.
 Women are Criticised
 Considerable comment was indulged in during the day over the fact that women got mixed up in the election and were around the polls. The wo- men. however, did not seem to care for the remarks that were made though no insults were made as far as can be learned.
 Chief of Police Wier was busy all day and had his entire force out. His hardest work was in keeping the side walks cleared. The sheriff and his entire force with a number of special deputies were working like bes Sefs- Colonel Eigdon gave special instruc- tions to his men to use every precau- ton and not allow anything to happen. The absence of liquor was noticeable.
 AS early as o'siGsk if tsae aftsruaan reports were current that prohibition would carry overwhelmingly. These reports were pushed forward and the women worked with renewed energy. In the city there was jostiing crowd around the four polls constantly. Many boys wore red feathers and red FibDons dabatine their opposition to the white ribbons and white bows, the insignia of tha prohititionists. The newspaper offices were peseised with requests for 
 A number of outsiders were here to watch the proceedings preparatory to sih,iIar contests in their counties. Well known citizens from Mobile. Mont Cullman. Morgan, Hale and other counties were here today and mingled freely with both sides in the contest and watched the proceedings.

 ltors wished to withdraw an amount greater than S1Oo The rule was elas. tic, however and the banks imposed hardship upon no one. Money desired for the payment of rent. insurance po1fcies, or for necessary travelling twas paid out promptly.
 The only semi mblance of e run during the day was at the Hibernian Savings Bank, where many depositors gave no- tice during the day of their intention to withdraw. These notices in the az gregate however. were not of sum- cient amount to constitute a run. At one time the Hibernian Bank became so crowded that it was found neces- sary to call upon police reserves for additional aid in controlling the lines of the depositors who were intent upon giving notices to the bank. but there was no confusion worthy of the name nor excitement at any time. At the close of business for the day. all the banks declared themselves as satisfied with the business of the day and that they were greatly pleased with the manner in which the business men of the city had met the change h the con- oitions.
 The belief is expressed here that the method used in handling the business ! of today will continue but for a short time.
