.UN|ON|ST DAY !. IN ELECTIONS The Government LOsF More
 of its Margin
 IN UNEXPECTED PLACES But There is No Probability That Ministry Will Be Unhorsed Though it's Fate At All Times Will Depend Upon Laborites and Irish
|N UNEXPECTED PLACES

London, Jan. 1S.-The elections to- day resulted in returning the follow ing: Unionists, 21; liberals. 19; labor
 ties. 3; nationalists. 1. Unionist gains.
 12; liberal gain. 1. The standing of
 the parties at the conclusion of today's
 polling follows: Unionists. 120: liber- als. 9s; laborites. 20; nationaIists. 2s.
 Total gains: Unionists. 51; liberals. 9;
 laborites, 1.
 The unionists had decidely the better of the election today Of the forty four seats contested they have twen- ty-one, of which twelve were repre- scented by ministerialists in the last parliament. With the exception of the north of England. Scotland and the big manufacturing towns, the results of the polls show a steady trend toward the fiscal policy of the union- ists, but calculating the returns thus far announced, political oracles main- tain that this will not be sufficient to overcome the big liberal majority ob- tained in 1906.
 Conservative estimates now place the liberal and labor majority over the unionists at between so and 9O- This, with a compact party would be a working majority, but with the unre- liable laborites backed up by the Irish when it suited them the government would have to go warily to avid pit falls. The only consolation today for the liberals was in their success in the Bern1ondsey division of Southwark, where the government candidate. H. J. GlanvilIe. recaptured the seat. which went over to the unionists in the by election last November. J. Hum phreys, who was elected tonight. had but one opportunity to pass the bar of tffe house. that being the day of his introduction.
 Fourteen of the London boroughs returned eight liberals and six union- ists as compared with eleven liberals and three unionists in the last parlia- ment Three members of the cabinet, Winston Spencer Churchill, president of the board of trade: Charles Buxton. postmaster general. and Walter, Run ciman. president of the board of edu- cation. retained their seats.
 T. P. O'Connor's grip on the Scot land division of Liverpool, was proved by an increase of 500 which he received over his big majority of four years ago. Augustine Birrell. chief secre- tary for Ireland. at liberal demon stration at Bridgewater. said he thought he knew enough of elections to be able to say with confidence that the budget is going through.
 Lord Charles Beresford. in an inter view. declared that as it was his be- lief that the naval question was re- sponsible for the turnover of votes. he would demand an inquiry into the last four years administration of the ad- 
 Chancellor Lloyd-George in a speech tonight. said it must be made perfect ly clear that if the lords twice rejected the budget sent up by the house of commons. the measure will be sent straight to the throne$

 ADOPTED BY HOUSE ON BALLINGER-PINcHoT IN- ouIRy RESOLUTION. An Attack Upon Col. Roosevelt and
 Defense of Him.

Washington. D.. C.. Jan. 1S.-Without debate and by a viva voce vote, the house adopted today the conference report on the Ballinger- -Pinchot in- quiry resolution. Consideration of the urgent deficiency bill was enlivened by a criticism of former President Roose- welt by Representative Harrison. who denounced him for appointing repre- sentatives to the third maritime con gress at Brussels next. April without due authority of law. and for alleged numerous violations of the civil service law.
 Then Representative Fitzgerald call ed attention to a letter from the sec retary of the treasury requesting that government employees appointed tenn porarily and by executive order be placed on the permanent roll under the civil service law, Mir. Harrison of New York declared that President Roose- welt had violated the spirit of the civil service law 16S times or fifteen more times than any of his predecessors.
 Mir. Tawney who was in charge of the bill resented MT. Harrison's charges Defending the former pres ident Representative Gillett of Massa- chusetts. declared that President Roosevelt had appointed a small num- Der of persons compared with Presi- dent Cleveland.
 The increased cost of living was brought into the debate by Represent ative Fitzgerald when the provision for additional appropriation for army rations, because of the advance in price was discussed
 Because of nal administration. the party has caused these in creased prices" MI Fitzgerald declar- ed. amid laughter on the republican side. You may as well make con- fession now" he added, and be turned out of office instead of attempting to offer pretenses and hypocrisy as an excuse for your guilt" These taunts did not draw a response from the members of the nlajirity.
 The senate today adopted resolu- ton requesting the secretary of the treasury to advise the senate if the reports are true that the customs house at Newport News. Va, is to be closed tomorrow in observance of the birthday anniversary of General Robert F.. Lee.

As to The Re c0gdtln Q 1The Democratic Caucus
 "REGU!AR' ORGANIZATION
In Trying to Displace Mi nority Selections of Mem bers of Ballinger- -Pinchot Investigating Committee Have Insurgent Support

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The efforts of the republican house organization to displace the democratic caucus nom- inees for places on the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation committee. now well under way. promises to precipi- tate a warm fight. either in the repub- lican caucus called for Wednesday night, or on the floor when the mat ter comes to a final vote.
 The democrats say they will resent any attempt to turn down their se- lections and large number of insur- gent republicans say they will support them on the ground that the minority has a right to name it's own commit tee members. The insurgents are badly divided on the proposition and the indications are that many insur- gents wili refrain from attending the republican caucus as they do not wish to be bound by the result
 Representative Dwight, the repub- liCan whip. put in large part of to- day circulating a petition for cau- GUS among the members, and obtained q large list of signatures, which in cluded about half dozen insurgents. including representatives Hayes, Vol stead. SteenersOn and Picket.
 It is generally understood on all sides that the language of the caucus call. which provides for the Selection of house members of the committee, '' means that the majority would attempt to displaee Representatives James and Rainey. the democratic selections. in addition to choosing four republican members. Three of the latter are said to be Mccall of Massachusetts. Olmstead of Pennsylvania and Madi- son of Kansas. The fourth mepber will be some representative from the middle west not decided upon.
 Several democrats declared today that if the republican caucus chooses them instead of James and Rainey they would decline to serve.
 Several leading insurgents like Len root of Wisconsin, Poindexter of Washington and Norris of Nebraska say they will not attend the republi- can caucus unless the democratic mil nority is accorded the right to name whomsoever it chooses for it's repre- sentation. On tine other hand the strongest objection to democratic se- Iections is voiced by insurgents like Hayes of California and Madison of Kansas.
 Apparently content to let the in- surgents take the lead in stirring up opposition to the minority selections. the republican organization is silent. Privately. some of the leaders quotfd President Taft as having said that he wanted a committee that would for get politics and delve to the bottom of the Ballinger- Pinchot controversy.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-In welcoming the conference of governors at the White House today President Taft in dulged in a little good natured specu- latiOn as to how the English system of executive authority might work in this country, especially with respect to giving the executive department the right to argue matters out with the legislative branch and go before the people if necessary.

Sanborn of the federal district court had been summoned from Madison, Wis. and that James Hamilton Lewis would endeavor to obtain a writ from him. The ground on which the writ might be asked was not revealed, but it was reported that an allegation would be made that other than members of the grand jury were in the jury room when Walsh was indicted.
 Judge Sanborn arrived in Chicago tonight. He said he had heard that writ of habeas corpus might he asked for. but he had not been asked to issue it.
 The scene in the courtroom when Judge Landis ordered Walsh to be present at the formal entering Of the commitment was dramatic

FOR THE RETIREMENT
 OF SOCIETY N GENERAL AND OF AMERICAN WORKING
 MEN IN PARTICULAR. The Labor Leaders and Employers
 Join in Civic Federation.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Two distinct features marked the sessions of the Civic Federation today-the unexpect- ed speech of Senator EIihu Root and the deep interest displayed by the leaders in the labor world and rep resentatives of those who hire, labor in the matter of compensation to employees for injuries.
 Senator Root. who was not on the program. astonished the conference when he suggested the creation of a commissioners court to draft uniform laws a-y----
 ''If the proposition is one of sound merit" said Senator Root, it will win its way into the minds of the people. Some things advocated by this body have already taken. their places in the serious consideration of the nation
 Compensation for accidents brought into the field of speakers Samuel Gompers, John Hays Hammond, John Mitchell. August Belmont and George M. Gillett. MT. Gompers declared that European mine owners had a better conception of the care of their employees and the operation of their plants than American mine owners. He said the United States was the most backward of all countries in protecting those who by accident are deprived of their earning capacity.
 John Mitchell followed in much the same stIain. John Hays Hammond voiced his belief that the number of fatalities in mines could be reduced over B per cent by raising the stand ards of safety. He said that in the United States in 1908 OO.OO0, 900 tons of coal were mined and cost 2,450 human lives.
 August Belmont of New York de- clared that Tabor will be attracted to states affording it the~ fairest treatment, safety and protection. and the employer will hail this. too, as an advantage to himself" He advocated the passage by states of laws com polling corporations to make adequate provisions for the health and safety of employees and their care when the rmen reach old age and are incapaci- tated. In his opinion. this was the greatest question of the day

 PAULHAM's. LONG FLIGHT TO BALDWIN RANCH

Los Angeles. Jan. 1S.-Louis Paulham In a Farnum bi-pIane. today made what aviation ex- perts here consider the most remarkable cross-country flight in history. On the wings of the wind that other aviators hesitated long to face, the lit- tie Frenchman rode from Avia- tion Field to Lucky" Baldwin's ranch, twenty-three miles away and circled the old Santa Anita race track and bucked his way back to his tent.
 In all he covered an esti- mated distance of 471s miles in l hour ? minutes 42 4-5 sec onds. He went down with the wind in- thirty minutes and came back against it in s minutes. leaving off odd sec onds. The country over which he travelled was the valley lands of the San Gabriel river and the plateau leading to the ocean. He. could have landed almost any place. but he did not. When he climbed out of his car he said his motor was as cool as when he started and that he could do the trip over again at once
 In sheer beauty and contempt of danger the flight rivals that seen on any of the aviation fields of the old world. The only test approaching it in this country was made by one Sof the Wrights last fall, flying with an army officer from Washington to Alexandria and back. Bleriot. Latham. Far man and Cody have made flights nearly as long. perhaps. but they have not come back. Cody flew forty miles at Ander- shot in 63 minutes last fall. Farman took a 20 mile run to spend a day shooting with a friend. but he landed at one end of the journey.
 President Courtland r. Bishop of the Aero Club of America, said tonight that he did not know of flight equal to Paul.. hams. It is probable that the prize of $10.o00 will go to him. His highest altitude was 2,100 feet.
 Curtiss in an exhibition flight reached speed of SO miles an hour. with the wind at his back. The big gasi balloon New York" landed on Aviation Field after a flight of thirteen miles.
 ,Curtiss and Hamilton both failed in attempts to lower the short starting record.
