LIBERALS AHEAD.
British UniOniStS Cannot
Get a Majority.
LORD CHARLES BERESFORDWINS
Asquith and His Allies May Have
Working Plurality Without
the Irish Nationalist
Members.
LORD CHARLES BERESFORDWINS

London, Jan. 1S.-The result of the
parliamentary elections thus far make
1t clear that, despite the Unionist
gains of twenty-nine seats, the Lib
erals, with their allies, will certainly
have a majority of 100 or more.
The result tends also to show that
the Liberals may secure a small work
ing majority with the aid of their La
Dor and Socialist allies while disre-
garding the Nationalists.
The strength of the rival parties In
the new parliament thus far is as fol
lows: Liberals, &C; Laborites, 16; Ma
tionalists, 13. This gives the govern
ment coalition a total of 105 as op-
posed to 90 for the Unionists. AS one
third of the members are now chosen,
ministerial majority of fully 100
seems assured.
The popular vote again shows the
unfortunate position of the Unionists
The latter polled a total of 60S,00C

THEATER MAN ON TRIAL.
Pleads That He Killed Wife While
MomenTariIy Insane

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Jan. 1S.-George
L. Marion of New York, a theatrical
man. is on trial here before Judge
Lynch charged with the murder of his
wife in the Office of the chief of pO-
lice
Marion's wife ran away from Blairs-
town, ~ J., where they were living,
with James L. Brooks and came to
this city, where Brooks deserted her.
Marion traced her to th4s city, and
the two met in the Office of Chief of
Police Grant Long.
They greeted each other affectionate-
ly, and then Marion asked the chief
to leave them alone for a few min
utes. The chief left the office, and
Marion killed his wife. He said he
also intended to kill himself, but lost
his courage.
The defense is that he was jealous
and that when his wife refused to re-
turn with him he became momentarily
insane.
Theatrical friends all over the coun-
try have subscribed to a fund for his
defense

to Clifford pinchot, who was recently
removed by President Taft as govern
ment forester for INSTRUMENTATION

PinchOt controversy.
When introduced by Judge Parker,
Mr.. Pinchot was vigorously applaud
ed, and those delegates sitting along
the aisles arose and warmly shook his
hand. When he ascended the plat
form the delegates left their seats and
crowded around him, shaking his hand
and cheering him. 1t was some time
before order was restored and before
Mr.. pinchOt was able to proceed.
Mr.. Pinchot spoke on conservation.
lie stated that il was the plain duty
Of all the friends of conservation to
sink their differences. He said in part:
1.-THE policies now grouped under tie
name of conservation are of various
ages. Some, like forest preservation,
| have been advocated by Americans for
more than a hundred years. Some,
] like the control of water power mo-
nopoly in the common interest, are
/ younger than the present century. All
of them today are in the valley of de-
cision We have come at last to the
point of action. And we must either
go forward or fall back. Here is a
mighty field for uniform action and
for cooperation between the states
themselves and between them and the
nation.
The president urges that the meas
ures he recommends shall be taken up
and disposed of promptly without
awaiting the investigation which has
been determined upon. | echo his de-
sire"

Tax / Unconstitutional.

to be void as far as the Western
Union Telegraph company was con-
cerned.
The bench was divided in this opin-
ion, however, the majority, consisting
of Justices Harlan, Brewer, DGy and
Moody, holding that the tax violated
the constitution in that it placed a
burden on interstate commerce by
taxing property outside its borders.
In this result Justice White also
concurred on the ground that the law
was confiscatory, while Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Holmes and Nc
Kenna disSented, because they held
the law came within the power of the
state to name the conditions under
which a foreign corporation might do

The most notable Unionist gain was
at Portsmouth, where Lord Charles

MEAT TRUST
New York Legislature Seeks
to Dissolve Combine.
FEDERAL COOPERATION ASKED
Cardinal Gibbons Declares That
Food Prices Have Risen Be-
yond Reason, and Condi-
tions Cannot Continue.
FEDERAL COOPERATION ASKED

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 1S.-Two resolu-
tions which aim to bring about a re-
duction in the cost of food supplies
have been introduced in the assembly.
One by Assemblyman Murray Of New
York requests the attorney general Of
the United States and the attorney
general of New York to institute pro-
ceedings dissolving the meat trust and
putting an end to that monopoly. The
other, offered by Democratic Leader
Frisbie, provides for a legislative com
mittee to investigate the reasons for
the increased cost of living and to rec
ommend remedial legislation.
The Murray bill, which seeks to
bring about the criminal prosecution
of the men responsible for the monop-
oily in meat, follows:
Whereas, The retail prices of meats are
higher than at any time in the history of
the United States, which prices do not
result from economic laws and are out Of
all proportion to the ability of the great
mass of wage earners in the city of New
York to pay said excessive prices for this
necessity of life; and
Whereas. The recent statement of Swift
& Co for the year 1909 shows a net profit
of II per cent on sGOOOO,0OO of stocks and
its assets were increased nearly S12OOO,00C
after paying interest on bonds; and,
Whereas, 1t appears in the public press
/ that Swift q Co. and the National Pack
ing company by agreement are about u
control all the supply, packing, provision
and beef companies engaged in the sale
Of meats to the retail trade in the city
Of New York and that the National Pack.
/ tail butcher store in the city of New York
desired by such trust; and,
Whereas Said monopoly is in restraint
of trade and in violation of the antitrust
laws of the United States and the state
OF New YORK and against the general wei
fare Of the people of the city of New
/ York; therefore, be il
/ Resolved, That the legislature of the state
of New York requests the attorney gener
/ al of the United States and the attorney
! general of the state of New York to in
/ quire into the existence of such monopoly
| or contemplated monopoly and to brinG
/ such actions or proceedings as may b'
/ necessary to dissolve, restrain and pre-
vent said monopoly and to prosecute
I criminally all those concerned in suci
/ conspiracy as in such cases made anC
/ provided by federal and state statutes.

on the floor. Undersheriff Hornbeck
picked her up, and then while nurses
cared for her Hornbeck wrote down
the prisoners statement, which Scher-
merhorn signed.
The confession was given to District
Attorney Mack, who gave out the sub
stance as follows:
"Schermefhorn pleaded intoxication
for his crime. He declared at the
outset that he had no intention to kill
or injure Miss Brymer. He told OF
taking the maids, Alice butcher and
Mary Farrell. for a sleigh ride the
evening before the murder. He drank
considerable beer and whisky and says
he was so drunk that he remembers
indistinctly the subsequent events.

Cardinal Gibbons Welcomes Movement

Cardinal Gibbons Welcomes Movement
Baltimore. Jan. 1S.-Cardinal Glib
bons in an interview here said he
would heartily welcome any move
ment which would tend to reduce the
cost of living and predicted that cor
rective steps would have to be taken
in regard to the soaring prices of COM
modities. He declared that his own
experience has demonstrated to him
that prices of food products have ad-
vanced to figures that are beyond all
reason"
For long time | have noticed that
prices of supplies of all kinds seemed
gradually to be getting higher and
higher" the cardinal said, but l do
not know Just what causes the ad-
vance in prices. OF one thing l am
certain, prices of necessaries have
gone beyond wages-that is, wages
have not increased in proportion to
the increased cost of living.
Something must be wrong with the
economic conditions in the country
when wages and salaries remain un-
changed while food continues to in
crease in price"
"Do you believe the trusts are re-
sponsible for the increase?" was asked.
"As to that / am not prepared to
say" replied the cardinal. Some
thing evidently is wrong when many
/ OF the commonest necessaries in foods
are priced at such enormous figures"
! The cardinal was asked if he in
| dorsed the movement started in Wash
/ ington by the Antifood Trust league
4 to boycott throughout the United
/ States any article of food which is too
I high in price.
II haven't gone far enough into the
: subject to express an opinion on the
new organization" he replied, "but
/ something Of the kind, it seems to me,
would have the result which the con
sumers seek to accomplish.
"Most OF the prices for food prod
ucts are clearly out OF all reason, and
one thing is certain, the people cannot
go on paying such prices when they
are not earning any larger incomes.
IL heartily indOrse any movement
which will tend to reduce the cost OF
living for most OF the people OF this
country.
There is no doubt that some kind
of corrective steps will have to be
taken in regard to the present high
prices"
