LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES
 TIED IN COUNT
Latest Election Figures In dicate Premier Asquith's s Party, Joined With Lab orite, Will Have Majority of 40.
Special from United Press.

London, Jan. 29.-The tie between the Liberals and Conservatives is still un- broken. each side having 2e7 seats to it's credit, according to the latest count. According to this count. also the Nationalists already have S2 seats within one of their representation in the last parliament. and the Laborites 40, a big falling off from their previ- ous representation.
 Leaving out of account three dis tricts in which the result is admitted by both sides to be in doubt, political forecasters today estimated the final strength of the parties as follows:
 Conservatives, 273; Liberals, 271; Na- tionaiists, S3; Laborites. 40. Regardless of what the doubtful con- stituencies do. the Liberals and Labor ite majority over the Conservatives will be approximately 40. the figure which week ago the Liberals decid- ed to be necessary to insure an effec- tive working majority.
 The report that Conservative Leader Balfour would make a bid for the Ma tionalist vote by proposing a home rule bill of more liberal terms than that offered by the Liberals. is thoroughly
 discredited by the Conservative press today.
 The Unionist mind, despite a less violent attitude on the part of a few leaders, is still unalterably opposed tC home rule and it is inconceivable that the Unionist leaders should champion this cause with the faintest hope ot winning the support of their party. Premier Asuuith's temporary sojourr in southern France has checked for the time being the preparation for the re- assembling of parliament, which is
 now set for February 21. instead ot February 15.

TROLLEY MEN TO
 REQUEST FLAT RATE
Official of Conference Board Discusses Situation In
 Connecticut

Chairman c. W. Minnix of the New England Conference Board of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Enployes stated in an inter view at New Haven yesterday that the organization would include in it's demand upon the New York, New ment of a fiat rate of pay for all en- ployes irrespective of their length of service upon the road.
 In this city trOlleyman starts in with 20 cents an hour and after work ing four years he is given 24 cents an hour in his fifth year and there after. In New Haven the men are started at 21 cents and the maxim um wage is 25 cents an hour.
 The article published in connection with the interview with Chairman MinniX stated that there is a general feeling aniong trolleymen that once they are given employment on a troll ley road they should be paid the same money as other men performing the st'n1e service irrespective of the term of service.
 Chairman Minnix did not discuss the proposition that the flat rate should be 30 cents an hour, although he admitted there would be a de- mand for increase in wages.
 All of the divisions of the Anal gamated connected with the lines of the company in Rhode Island, Massa = ohusetts, and Connecticut have been boiled and the men have voted in favor of making the demand Wa terbury is the only city where the trolleynlen are without an organiza- tiOn at present.
 The result of the polling of the men will be officially announced to the Conference Board at New Haven next Monday when the officials of the road will be asked for a conference.

ARRESTED AFTER DRAMATIC ATTEMPT TO ABANDON BABE Mother Thrusts Infant to Characterization and
 Turns to Flee
She In Turn Is Held Captive While Police Investigate Pitiable Plight of Their Little Home.

Heartbroken because her husband had forsaken her, perhaps for another, and Respondent because she had no funds to provide for herself or her little one,, Mrs. Mary Litvinick, a
 comedy young Austrian, walked over
 from the spectators bench in the city court room to the prisoners pen, and
 extending her 15 months old daughter to the accused parent, exclaimed dram- atically:
 Here Take your child She's as much yours as mine."
 She deposited the infant on a bench
 in front of the pen. Then she turned husband looked at her, too surprised for utterance, and the court officials
 regained their composure just in time for one of the court officers to see the anguished mother as she walked
 out of the court room.
 Judge Wilder had just sentenced the husband and father to jail for five days for assaulting the woman. He had accused his wife of not giving at tention to her home, and spending so
 much time with neighbors that their little fireside at 15 Hallett street was
 much neglected. This he told in ex- tepuation of his having attacked the
 woman yesterday.
 The baby, golden haired, light eyed
 child, gazed about her surroundings in wonderment, then extended her doll like hands to her father. He took a step towards the child then apparently
 realizing his disgrace, retreated to the
 rear of the prisoners pen while the spectat ors looked on as if at the cli-
 max of a fascinating drama
 The court was in Quandary. The father must go to jail, yet the mother refused to take care of the infant, leaving her for the fathers care. He could not take the child to jail with
 him, for there is no place for infants in the county institution.
 Matron Hills appeared on the scene
 at this critical juncture and through
 her influence the mother was persuad- ed once more to take the child in her arms But she persisted that she
 would not support the baby unless her husband assisted her. In order to prevent abandonment of the child by the mother, she was led intosreonny corridor in one of the cell tiers, and placed upon chair where she was given the baby for a companion. She was detained later in the quarters of
 Matron Hills in police headquarters, and provided with ample comforts. Patrolman Simons, who is familiar
 with the domestic troubles of the fam | fly, was instructed to investigate, and report to Assistant Prosecutor Kedden the conditions, that some steps may be taken to provide mother and child with adequate comforts.
 The mother became hysterical when she realized that she too was a pri- soner, and was violent in her tirade upon her husband. They were married about two years ago, went to Europe for several months. and she returned | to this country before her husband. When he came here, an estrangement occurred, and since their reconciliation their have been frequent outbreaks.

She hastened to the mother, reaching her just in time to dash the bottle from her lips. A quantity of the con- tents spilled over her clothing. The two fought for possession of the bottle until the mother succeeded in turning her back to the young matron and swallowing most of the iodine. Some of the burning stuff was scattered on her face. She sank upon her bed in agony as the fiery poison began it's deadly work.
 Screaming for help, the daughter with rare presence of mind forced eggs, milk and other antidotes upon the mother, while a youngster living in another flat of the same tenement ran to No. Engine House from which telephone message was sent for the automobile ambulance
 When Dr. Krause arrived he found the woman able to walk about her room, but she was in extreme agony He applied stomach pump to re- move the remnants of the poison and used a solution of corn starch The woman was left to the care of her family physician.

LIFE IN THE UNDERWORLD
 THE BATTLE OF THE SLUM

Bishop Potter said, Some men are torn into the world and some are damned into it.'' This seems to be the thought of all those men who have had any real opportunity to look at the bottom. Melville B. Trotter, who was raised from the lowest depths has a way of saying that he used to be down so low that he had to reach up to touch bottom. To let those know of the terrible condition in the slums, who can help to relieve the awful situation of some of the unfortunate is the purpose of the lec- ture, ''Thc Problems of the Poor" which Lieut.-Col. Parker will give to men only at the Young Mems Chris tian Association Sunday afternoon, at 3:3O. He will use a large number of beautifully colored slides which he took himself in his many years work in the slums of the various cities of cur country. Captain Darby, of New York, will sing illustrated songs. All men are cordially invited. The song service will begin at 3:15.
