.FORCEFUL DENIAL
 BY AUGUST BELMONT
HE INSISTS THAT HIS SKIRTS
 ARE CLEAN.
Says He Has No Knowledge of I'm
 proper Influence on Legislature.

New York, Dec. 5.-I cannot make too emphatic the statement that I never di- rectly or indirectly to any person or through any incorporation or individu als. contributed, authorized or advised the expenditure of a single dollar i'm. properly to influence legislative action. nor have I been asked to do so.''
 August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey club. makes this statement in a letter to M. Lynn Bruce. chief counsel of the legislative committee. before which he was a witness last week
 The letter was made public tonight with a brief letter from F. K. Sturgis treasurer of the Jockey club. saying that he was himself in error when he testified recently that James w Wadsworth. Jr.. speaker of the state assembly, recommended as counsel for the racing interests. E. T. Coyne of Liv- ingstOn county. This recommendation, he adds. came from the elder Wads- worth. state commissioner of racing.
 Belmont's letter says. in part: The great bulk of my time is devoted to the management of my banking and railroad interests, and l now repeat what I stated to your committee. that the sweeping allegation of the corrupt use of money to influence legislation is a matter of which it ought to be pre- stunned l was ignorant"

 SALT LAKE RAILROAD
MANY WERE INJURED, BUT NONE
 OF THEM FATALLY.
Passenger Train Ran Into Freight at
 Victorville.

San Bernardino. Dec. 5.-Westbound train No. on the Salt Lake road was wrecked this afternoon at curve d short distance east of Victorville, when it crashed into a freight while running twenty miles an hour. The diner and sleeper were completely wrecked. while the engine was badly damagedt

Roland of New York was severely bruised about the head and face. A dozen others were more or less seriously injured That none was more seriously injured is attributed by railroad men to the fact that the sleeper had a steel frame.
 The freight for some reason failed to clear the main track for the limited. The conductor heard the limited app sent a flagman and at the same time started the freight backwards for a switch. The flagman failed to catch the limited before it got around the curve. when it crashed into the freight. The injured were all taken to Los An geles.

GOVERNMENT WINS
 BRITISH ELECTIONS
NEW PARLIAMENT WILL DIFFER
 POLITICALLY BUT VERY LITTLE.
Opposing Groups Are Running Close in
 the Present Canvass.

London. Dec. 5.-The position of the parties tonight after the second days polling in the general election, are: Government coalition-Liberals, S7: la bor. 14: natiOnalists, 16; total IT. pposition-Unionists. 116.
 The results merely confirm the Opin- ion formed that as the result of Satur days contests. The uniOnists now have no possible hope of replacing the liberal government in power The only ques- ton remaining is whether the liberals will return with a larger or smaller majority. To gain a bare majority in the new parliament. the uniOnists must make a net gain of 62 seats. Thus far out of 13O pollings. the net gain is only 3 seats
 The gain of the unionists on Satur- day was [, while the liberals gained 4. Today the unionists gained and the liberals ?. A continuation at this ratio would fulfill the unionist prediction that the Asquith cabinet will be more than ever dependent on its I-ish and labor allies.
 It is to be remembered, however. that the liberals in the January cleo tions lost many seats through three cornered contests.
 On the whole it seems likely the new house of commons will meet with the position of the parties practically un- changed. The question will then arise whether the king will feel justified in giving guarantees and by the creation of liberal peers force veto bill through the house of lords.

Washington, Dec 5.-The closing session of the sixty-first congress opened at noon today. No business was transacted, but both branches held a meeting merely to appoint a joint com mittee to formally apprise the president that the legislative branch of the gov ernment was ready to proceed and to call the rolls and adjourn after adopt ing resolutions to the memory of mem bers who have died since congress last met.
 The usual animation marked the opening of both the senate and house, but the reunion of old friends was tinged with sadness because of the heavy toll death has taken in the last few months. In consequence. the sen ate was in session only a quarter of an hour, while the house was in ses- sion fifty minutes.
 More than usual interest was mani fested in the opening because of the passing of the balance of political power with this session. The galleries were crowded. On the floor secretaries and clerks lined the walls. Since ad- journment last June there have been four deaths in the senatorial ranks.
 Vice president Sherman was prompt in entering the senate chamber and bringing the senate to order just as the hands of the clock indicated the noon hour. Immediately sfterward came the opening prayer by pr. Ulysses Grant Pierce, who referred to the un- usual number of deaths within con gress. The roll call that followed dis closed eighty senators present. only eight failing to respond. Resolutions

 Senator CullOm and Mir Money of Mississippi were appointed to wait up- on the president. The secretary of the senate was instructed to carry the necessary information to the house.
 The death announcements were made in the order of seniority and in each case by the colleague of the deceased member. All spoke in feeling terms of the departed. but the tribute in each case was confined to a few words as later the senate will listen to extended eulogies of each.
 In the house the entrance of Repre- sentative Champ Clark of Missouri elicited as much applause as did that of Speaker Cannon. Clark's face as he walked down the aisle to his seat on the democratic side was as rosy as the bright pink carnation he wore in his but tonhOle. Clark did not appear on the floor until after the chaplain had con- cluded the opening prayer.
 The house was called to order by Speaker Cannon promptly at F o'clock and remained in session long enough only tO hear the prayer and roll call and to adopt resolutions of sympathy on the death of Representatives Brown low of Tennessee.

MOVEMENT TO "RREAK UP"
Some of the Democrats Fearful of the
 Recall.

There is another thing troubling the members of the convention-the recall proposition. There is growing dis position to back up' again. Hardly any man in his right mind believes that the president will approve the constitution so long as it contains that socialistic proposition which has gone farther than even Oklahoma dared to go.
 Within the last two days a move ment was started to cut it out of the constitution and submit it as a separ- ate proposition. But that has been given up. Less than half the demo- cratic members could be enlisted in that scheme and the republicans would be sOlidly against it.
 Yesterday the movement took a new form. that of throwing the recall proposition out altogether. The pro- jectors believe that they can muster nearly as many democrats for that as they could for separate submission and they argue that the republicans could not consistently oppose it. The republican members however are said to be. at least. indifferent.
 Last of the Propositions.
 The last day of rounding propositions into shape, or what was supposed to be the last day devoted to that business, began yesterday morning in the consti- tutional convention, though 1t Is not certain that some committee will not submit a proposition at the last mo- ment.
 The convention took Up proposition No. &. validating those territorial statutes not repugnant to the proposed constitution. There was more or less debate though not a great difference of opinion over the method of transfer enee of powers and especially over merging the business of the district courts into the superior courts, as are provided for by the constitution.
 All actions now pending and all recognizances are to be continued and the territorial officers are to remain un- til their successors have been elected or appointed.
 MT Jones of Yavapai offered an amendment to the proposition relating to the courts. MT. Kingan believed that it was going too far into the minutiae and he jocularly offered still another amendment requiring courts to open at @ o'clock in the morning and not adjourn until in the afternoon. Both these amendments were voted down and the proposition was passed.
 Constitutional Amendments.
 The next proposition related to the amending of the constitution. Amend ments may be proposed in either house of the legislature or may be initiated by a petition signed by 15 per cent of the total vote cast for all the candi- dates for governor at the next preced- ing election. Any proposed amendment shall he approved by majority of each house. This having been done or a proposed amendment having been ini-

The resolution was received at first as 2 joke and president Hunt was has been more consistently mentioned than any other man in connection with the of- ficial list of the new state sent it to the committee on militia and defense
 From a strategic point of view that was a mistake. There was not in the whole list of committees a less secure one for its permanent immurement The chairman of it is Dr. Tuthill who is said to have no ambition to hold any office and from the outset it was predicted that the resolution would be reported.
 Yesterday the resolution came out of sition Though it was received with some ridicule there was visible con sternation which was not allayed by the earnest advocacy of the proposi- tion by Messrs. Webb and Franklin. Some of the members were scared for they had no assurance that it would not go through with whoop. In fact they rather suspected it would. Oth- CTS who had no official aspirations did not want to go on record.
 Messrs. Webb and Franklin repeat edly demanded a vote but the presi- dent would not permit it. It was un- derstood that the matter would be forced up again last night and Messrs. Franklin and Webb believed that if it did not carry it would fall far short of it. But the subject was not re- stunned and in private the advocates of the proposition were implored to cease their activities

 But there was a warm fight over the next measure, which emerged from it in a mangled shape. It was the em- ployers' liability proposition. In the form in which it was presented it wars provided that the employe should re- ceive damages unless the accident was the result wholly of his own negligence.
 The second section was the objec- tionable one. It provided that no law should be enacted under which the em- ploye could assume a risk. In case of a trial of a suit for damages the jury might consider in arriving at the amount of the damages the extent of the plaintiffs contributory negligence. The burden of proof of contributory negligence should rest upon the defend ant
