ENGLAND TO HAVE
ANOTHER ELECTION
Fight Against the House of Lords
Will Continue UntiI-No One
Knows.

LONDON, Dec. flowing to the
fact that the liberals will have to
depend on the Irish nationalists for
majority in the coming parliament,
they will have to pass a home rule
measure which will be rejected by the
lords. At an early date parliament
will again be dissolved and another
general election called. Should the
king create the 400 new peers re-
quired to make the lords a liberal
power, the home rule and veto bills
would go through.
Early in the election there was talk
of a compromise on the question of
curtailing the powers of the house Of
lords. The lords were willing to cut
their number down to 200 but the
liberals figured it OF that this would
make them more powerful than ever.

SMOKING is
NOT INJURIOUS
College Athletics Prove That Tobac-
CO Does Not Ruin the
Body.

NEW YORK, Dec 16.-That smok-
ing is injurious to the mind, but not
to the body, is the conclusion drawn
by DIR. George l.. Meylan, director of
Columbia University gymnasium, as
result of extensive Investigation.
The tests show that in general col
lege smokers make better athletes,
while non-snokers stand higher in
classes. DR.. Meylan took as the sub
jects for his tests 293 Columbia stu
dents, 115 of whom smoked habitually.
Sixty-six smokers gained an average
of s pounds in weight and IL cent?
meters, as against 6 pounds and IL
centimeters for those who did not
smoke; the non-smokers gained 20 per
cent in lung capacity, as against 8
per cent for the smokers, but The
smokers surpassed them in total
strength by having an increase Of
100.

To the Errors Which Are Made

WASHINTON, Dec 16.-Represen-

written a reply for those who op-

representative James McLachlin OF
California gave out the following ar
ticle written for the United Press:
The charge OF Representative
Tawney that spirit exists to stam-
pede congress for larger military
appropriation, is too childish to be
taken seriously. Yet there is too dan
gerous situation for the people to
overlook. Tawney says it is coward
ly to make known our weakness eth
er to our own people or the world
at large
Our apalling pension roll bears
witness to the fact that there have
been Tawneys in the consuls of our
nation before. Alleged patriots have
kept us in utter ignorance of our
condition until war has come and
then sent unframed, unarmed men
into the fields to perish The Fill
pinos were better armed in 1898 than
our volunteers.
The great Washington pleaded
against I'aWney in our fight for in
dependence. He pleaded for trained
troops. The disgrace of the war
of 1872 are chargeable to the same
unwarranted legislation which would
deny our soldiers needed equipment
and sacrific our countrys honor. !

OCEAN GROVE JOINS in
DEMOCRATIC PROCESSION.

OCEAN GROVE, Nov. 9.-For the
second time in its history of upwards
of forty years, Ocean Grove went
Democratic yesterday, giving Wilson a
majority of 145 out of a total of 553
votes poiled. The result was due to
the herculean efforts of ,she supporters
of the borough movement. They had
carriages and automobiles in commits
gsion to carry the voters to the polls,
land were active from the time the
ballot box was ready to receive votes
In the early morning until the polls
&vere closed last evening. 1t was late
when the result was tabulated owing to
the large number of split tickets voted.

1t was a great surprise to learn that
the ~boroughites refused at the last
minute to support Assembly Candidate
Vredenburgh, of Freehold. VINO had
made a trip or two to Ocean Grove and
had beer in conference with the lead
ers of the borough movement. II was
generally known that Mr.. Vreden-
burgh was credited with having been
won over to the side of the boroushites
and that he had promised them his
support when their bill came up in
the Legislature this winter in case he
was elected. The boroughites, how
ever. fought shy of Mr.. ~Vredenburgh.
They said lie flirted with them and
passed them up twice before, and he
would have to make good before they
would stand for him.

his usual good humor when he reached
the executive offices shortly after 10
O'Clock today. At IL o'clock there was
a session of the cabinet. Most of the
members of the Presidents official
family were decidedly sober in theit
expressions. They were heartily greet
ed by the President, however, who
urged them to take an optimistic view
of the future.
The President will leave late this
afternoon for Charleston, s. c., where
tomorrow he will board the armored
cruiser Tennessee for the trip to Pana-
ma. Mr.. Taft will be away about two
weeks. It's trip Is n strictly OF bus1-

WOMEN AND MEN AT STATE
HEADQUARTERS CHEER,

Wild enthusiasm marked the demon
tration at the Democratic State Com
mittee headquarters last night when
it became known that tho Democrats
had so a complete q victory.
1t was impossible TO curb the Ell
thusiasm of the multitude which had
gathered to hear the result of the
election. The hall, taxed to its utmost
was strikingly alive with many women,
who cheered as Justify as the men.
When the first report was read stat
ing that the East Orange districts had
given a majority for Wilson, cheers
rem the building.
Returns from everywhere for the re-
mainder of the evening had the same
effect.
Things were entirely different at Re-

we're clear and direct and given witt
a decision that carried weight.
Pressed by Mr.. Hood as to her rela-
tons with Mrs. Martin the witness
for the first time showed a trace Of
Irritation. The question asked con-
cerned a small loan made to Miss
Wardlaw, the sister who diet in the
House of Detention on August IL, 1909
1.-THE Ioan was made to Miss Ward
law, but l understand 1t was for Mrs.
Martins benefit"
"Were you friendly with Mrs. Mar
tin and Miss Wardlaw at the timer"
Very quickly Mrs. Spindle replied:
II have always beer friendly with my
sisters. 1t is hard to have to say such
things as 1 am compelled to, but 1t is
necessary now"
Sister Totters on Leaving Stand.
When Mrs. Spindle left the stand and
walked toward the rear of the impro-
vised courtroom, she tottered and
seemed about to fall. She recovered
herself rapidly, and, assisted by her
son, left the courtroom, only to return
in a few minutes. She remained
throughout the morning hearing.
Mamie Ransom, a negress, who for
a year during 1904 and 1905 was en-
ployed by Mrs. Martin as her personal
maid in the Street cottage at Soule Col
lege, Murfreesboro. Tenn, was the next
witness called.
This witness went over the identical
line of testimony that Rita Sublit, an
other negress, gave last Wednesday.
She told of how Mrs. Martin would re-
main in bed for DAYS at q time. how
she would not change her clothes or
allow the living room used by Mrs.
Martin and Miss Ransom to be cleaned
and of the litter of papers and clippings
that were strewed all over the floor.
