IRISH NATIONALISTS IN POSITION TO DICTATE
 TERMS TO LIBERALS
unless Home Rule Pledge Is Strictly Kept They Will Join With Unionists-Certain to Hold Balance of Power, No Matter How Election Goes

voted and a further Conservative gain of 113 seats would be required to give them a majority. Two-thirds of the remaining constituencies are always considered fully Liberal and a decrease in the usual Conservative gain Is ex- pected rather than an increase.
 The Conservatives are now credited with total of 143 seats and for them to wint out in the end they would have to gain 1S3 of the remaining 323 seats to he voted for.
 Voting is taking place today in 47 districts, 36 of which are in the coun- try and the result will not be known until tomorrow.
 Timothy Healy, the Irish Nationalist a candidate for reelection today. His seat is safe.
 The prospect of the Liberals being forced to rely on the Irish National ists for majority in the next parfa- ment has caused rejoicing among the liquor interests as in the last par1fa- ment the Nationalists voted against the increased whiskey tax in the bud get. It is believed that they will do so again, unless the government makes greater concessions to the matter of home rule than have yet been indi- cated. The whiskey tax is one of the chief features of the budget and the Liberals will not abandon it without a hard struggle.
 Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey. Liberal, and Arthur Henderson. the leader of the Labor party, were both reelected yesterday.

FLOOD SWEEPING FRANCE DEALING DEATH AND RUIN
 IN EVERY DIRECTION

Switzerland, and all efforts to learn their fate have failed.
 Rheims, France, Jan. 20.-Hundreds of people are in imminent danger to- day from a flood which is sweeping a large part of eastern and southern France. At Avenay, near here, the entire population has been cut off by the overflow of the river Marne. The village is surrounded by water and un- less boats effect rescue of the popu- lation, it is feared many will be drown- ed.
 In the neighborhood of Macy, the people are being picked off the roofs of their houses by boats. The work of rescue is at present wholly inadequate and as the heavy rains which have caused the Marne and it's tributaries to break their banks are still continu- ing, the need of a more heroic work of rescue is imperative.
 The property loss is already enor- nous. much live stock has been killed and cattle and other stock are being herded in the villages. Scores of bridges have been destroyed. roads have been washed away and such gen. eral damage wrought that it is inn possible to learn the extent, of the loss.
 The sufferers are applying to the government to furnish immediate aid. There is no prospect of a cessation of the rain and the swollen streams are still rising.

MkROCK ABANDONED ONE
 WIFE TO WE'D HIS VICTIM
Startling Discovery of Authorities Running Down His History-May Have Left String of Wives Whom He Robbed of Savings Strange Tale of Luring One Wife Aboard Ship, Robbing Her of $1,Oo0 and Abandoning Her.

With these new developments in the investigation, there has been a change in the theories of the authorities From the fact that Laski had worked in Fairfield, on the very well into which the young matron was thrown and left for dead, they had taken it for granted that Laski was the prin- cipal and Marock had been led into marrying the woman on his advice. With the unearthing of the other wife and the reputed abandonment of still another wife when he had gotten all her savings, the authorities are now inclined to believe Marock the greater scoundrel, and Laski the dupe.
 Attorney John F. Gray, counsel for the two men, spent several hours with them in the county jail yesterday. He said he was not at liberty to disclose all the information he obtained from his clients, but would admit that Ma rock is not the real name of his pris- oner. With the disclosure of the mans name and further information of his history, it is expected that the authorities of other cities will be able to help in running down his history.
 If the authorities decide to press charge of bigamy against Marock, il is not likely such a step will be taken before his arraignment in the Fairfield justice court on Saturday. Attorney Gray has prepared to enter a. IOrmdl demurrer, legal step by which a pro- tracted preliminary hearing is avoided and the case will be tried out for the first time in the Superior court, where it must eventually reach it's final dis position.
 Bartoni and Laski. both of whom the Springfield people say can speak fairly good English, have feigned to under stand very little since they have reach ed this city Whenever they have been questioned the use of an interpreter has been necessary. This is true even in the case of Attorney Gray, who was retained for the men by the two broth CTS of Laski, who live in Fairfield and WestpOrt.
 Mrs. Marock continues to rest com fortably at the hospital. suffering only from the condition of her feet. Her health is splendid, and her robust con- dition will go far towards assisting the doctors in their efforts to save her frost bitten feet from amputation. She may be able to appear in court Sat urday if she is needed. but it is not likely that such an action will be nec- essary in view of the plan of the de- fense to enter a demurrer.

 London, Jan. 20.-Not until the Lib eral party has made good it's pledge of home rule for Ireland will the Irish Nationalists, who with their 83 assured Seats in the next parliament are cer- tain to hold the balance of power, SUD- port the Liberal legislative program Unless the home rule pledge is ful- filled, the Nationalist leaders declared today that they would support the Conservatives, the union. of the two having a far greater voting strength than the Liberal and Laborites.
 If the Liberals make good their promises, the Nationalists say they will join unanimously with them in all the other program with the DOS slbie exception of the increased liquor tax in the forthcoming budget.
 It is now believed that the combined Liberal and Laborite vote in the next parliament will not exceed the Con- servative vote by more than 40 This shows what a hold the Nationalists will have on the Liberals
 Further returns today from the ru- ral districts that voted yesterday. ma- terially increase the Conservatives victory for the day and bring their total net gan up to 5 seats.

the diversity of the young mans life since he grew large enough to stay out after the curfew rang.
 Brinnier will in all likelihood be re- leased from police headquarters before night. There is only one bad check transaction against him, and this was beyond the jurisdiction of the local au- thorities. There is no disposition to prosecute him on the part of his vic- tim, and he promises to hook his over- coat to pay a board bill of $3 pending against him. So in the face of such an apparent disposition to do the right thing it is not at all probable that he will have to sleep in a cell to- night.
 Brinnier came to this city early in December, and held forth for several days at The Brunswick, a billiard par Tor at 2S-30 Fairfield avenue. He ap- peared to have plenty of funds was well dressed. and was generally &C.,

 Paris, Jan. 20.-The militia was called out today to assist the life savers and salvage corps at the Paris Quays in rescuing property and endangered lives resulting from the flood that is cover ing Q part of Paris.
 Wine warehouses along the docks have been flooded and thousands of casks of wine carried into the river.
 The salvage steamer Tonkin was sunk off the Tuilleries by being caught between masses of floating wreckage.
 Reports from the eastern part of France show the flood there the most serious in years. Many villages are wholly deserted, the people having to flee for their lives. Belfort and Mo- selle are under water.
 A landslide has occurred near Le- mans, dashing a train into a, deep ra- vine. Two of the passengers were killed and many injured. All other trains on this line are tied up by the landslide and it is impossible to get relief to the wrecked trains.

More blood curdling than the fanci- full nursery tales of Bluebeard and his bloody closets stored with the corpses of his wives are the latest develop ments in the investigation by the county authorities into the attempt upon the life of Annie Moskil, the Chicopee, Mass, domestic, who was thrown into a Fairfield well by two men, one of them her supposed hus- band, Saturday afternoon.
 That Joseph Marock, the husband already had wife living in Indian Orchard, suburb of Springfield when he married Annie Moskil, in ing discovery made yesterday by Dep uty Sheriff Burr who accompanied by August Brill, an interpreter, spent hours in the Polish colony of mill hands gathering information about Marock and Laski.
 Marocks wife in Ludlow is now in delicate health She expects the ar rival within a short time of her first born. She was overwhelmed yester- day when the whereabouts of her hus- band and the reason for his arrest were made known to her. Yesterday marked her first wedding anniversary and the absence of her husband had brought her sorrow. when tOlQ OI Ills duplicity, she at first refused to cre- dit the story, and later gave way to a storm of grief.
 That still further back Marock had lured another wife aboard a vessel bound for Europe, obtained $1,000 in cash representing all her sayings, then fled the ship leaving her aboard to sail back penni!ess, is another story the authorities are running down This tale has gained wide circulation among the Polish residents in Indian Orchard, and it had reached certain Polish quarters here yesterday.
 Sheriff Burr and Interpreter Brill with Officers Melaney and Huot of the Indian Orchard police station secured the Ludlow mills yesterday in search of information about Marock. Through the assistance of the interpreter they gleaned fact after fact that finally led to them Mrs. Marock, herself a mill hand. She told them she was married, her husband had been away for several days, and she didn't know what had become of him. She and Marock lived in a little home in Par ker street, said to belong to her peo- ple

Mir Baillie then became cognizant of the fact that he was not a citizen, and that ehas voted illegally for years. through no fault of his own. Ills fa- ther before him was a citizen, but at the time he swore off alliegance to the crown of England, younger BaiIlie was a resident of England. If he had been on this side at the time the papers were taken out, he would now be an American citizen.
 This morning MT. Baillie presented himself at the office of the Superior court. presenting his first papers, which were taken out In 1884, and made application for second papers. His declaration will have to be posted for 90 days, after which his appiica- tfon will be heard before the Superior court. When he becomes a citizen of the U. S. MT Baillie intends to take that trip abroad.

West Mountain, a sparsely settled community ten miles from Danbury, Conn.,, just across the New York state line. can add another to it's lone list of lawbreakers, now that there is no longer any doubt that Clara Fish CT Sprague was implicated in the staying of James H. Mullen in this city on Wednesday night, Jan. 12
 West Mountain has long been avoid ed by people whose callings bring them into the remote country dis tricts of this section. It is known as the rendezvous of horse thieves, pol try foragers, and those who prey up- on the crops of farmers, and the re- fuge of many who are fleeing from the hand of the law.
 Clara Sprague is one of the products of West Mountain. Married at an early age, she soonabandoned her husband an industrious, thrifty labor CT whose chief ambition in life was to provide a home of comfort for his wife and little son. She took up a life of vice in Danbury, and when she had barely attained her majority she was a familiar figure about the low resorts of the town.
 Now, at 38, she is reputed to be @ murderess, not perhaps because she intended to kill Mullen, but because she was determined to secure his mon ey at any cost. Her alleged accom- PllCC, T TGQ TkdyIlOI, lldS IlOW lUTuGQ OH her. No doubt in the hope that he may escape drastic punishment, he says the woman has made practice for weeks of turing men into her room and robbing them. Tn fact, he admits he himself arranged the room that she might more readily practice her thievery.
 She's from West Mount ain-one of that West Mountain crowd,'' say the Danbury police. To them that eX- plains everything from petty thievery to the worst forms of degeneracy. For in West Mountain they think nothing of making a quiet raid upon desert cd railroad siding, carrying away wagon load after wagon load of freight; they steal horses with impun- ity: taking them from Connecticut and Massachusetts cities over into New York towns, and vice versa, only re- gently they made off with most of the contents of car half filled with whiskey. Easy morals, lonely sec- tion rarely penetrated by officers of the. law, and long immunity from pun ishnent, have resulted in crime com mensurate with the percentage of op- portunity to commit it.
 In the opinion of the police Raynor is a weakling as compared to the Sprague woman. He comes of Cana dian parentage and as child lived in Boston. Then he removed to Greenfield, Mass, where most of his life has been spent. He is a painter, but when he can't secure work at

He is d mechanical draughts- man. but so far has not been caught working at his trade. One attempt at suicide after a tiff with a chorus girl in Philadelphia, several ventures in the show business on his own account re- peated rows with his family, followed by reconciliatiOns when he went home broke-are said to have contributed to
