YOUTH OF 10 WHILE INSANE SUICIDES AT
 HOME OF HIS MOTHER
Lad Had Been Mentally De icient for Long Time and Figured In Escapades for Which He Was Not
 Mentally Responsible.

Benjamin Whyland, a youth of 16 years, residing with his widowed mother, Mrs. Theresa Whyland, and his brothers and sisters, at GA Engle- wood avenue, committed suicide some time, during last evening, by taking chloroform. The body was not found till late hour, after the return of his mother and sister from a visit He was mentally unbalanced.
 Yesterday afternoon, after dinner was served, the other members of the family left the house, but Benjamin went to his room. A brother with a friend, returned to the house at. 6 o'clock, but they did not go to the room of their brother, nor near him there. They left the house soon aft erwards. About midnight the mother and daughter returned home. The mother going to her youngest sons room, saw him, as if asleep, in. bed. There was a peculiar odor about the room. She went to his bed side and shook him, as if to arouse him. To her horror she realized that he was dead. On table beside the bed was found a tumbler, half full of water, and a small bottle, which smelled of Chloroform. The family realized at once that the boy had committed sui eide during their absence. The med ical examiner was notified and issued a certificate of death by chloroform poisoning. The boy had been dead some time when the body was found
 A number of we'll known people who knew the boys family stated this

morning that they had their atten- ton called to the boys actions of late In their opinion the boy was not re- sponsible for his deed. Rev Hubert Dahme stated that he had known the boy for some time, and that he had observed in his talks with him that he was not mentally responsible Rev. Dahme said: "Whyland was not in his right mind when he took the poison"
 Young WhyIand, it will be remern- bered, has been before the public quite recently. At home the boy had become quite unmanageable, though every effort was made by his mother and his brothers to correct him. They had tried to educate him, but he seemed unwilling to learn.
 One afternoon, while his brother, Joseph slept in bed, he entered his room and administered chloroform to him, taking a gold watch and a roll of bills, which his sleeping brother kept under his pillow. The youth then left town and went to New York. where he pawned the watch and spent the money. He returned to this city and was arrested. He was bound over from the city court to the Superior court on the charge of robbery, and was released on bail. When his case came up before the court, the states attorney, realizing the condition of the youth, recom- mended that he be given a jail sent ence, but that the sentence be sus- pended and he be placed in charge of the probation officer, to which the court acceded.

London, Jan. dissatisfaction il
 the Liberals ranks, still ray of hope | among the Conservatives and actua | jubilation among the Irish National ists, is the political situation in Eng. land today. As result of Saturday. voting and the apparent trend ol events today. the Irish Nationalist seem assured of holding the balance of power in the next parliament anC
 of yielding greater influence thar before. @@
 The Irish Nationalists are holding
 their own, which means thaA they will have about the same representa- ton in the next parliament as in the last, 83. ..I With the whittling down of the
 Liberal majc-ity, by at least 100, the Irish members will be in position to enforce their demands.
 The Irish nomination without op- position of Nationalists, which
 means their immediate election, while it was interpreted, aroused the en- thusiasm of the party leaders. It is
 expected that the Nationalists will work in harmony with the Liberals
 but as the latter will have to have the votes of the Nationalists in the
 next parliament to gain a majority which was not the case in the last
 parliament, the Nationalists will be far more independent than ever be- fore.
 The restricted home rule, which the Liberals have promised, is ap- parently assured by the way the elec- <tion is going.
 In addition to the eight unappoint- ed Irish NationaIists' elections today Cnncarxya fiun rQfJ1rno6 without opposition.
 London, Jan. 17.-With the knowl- edge that today's voting in 15 London and 49 provincial constituencies, en- titled to total representation of 104 members of parliament, would decide beyond question the control of the next parliament, Liberals and Con- moment the polls opened.
 Seven Irish Nationalist, including John Redmond, were today nominated without opposition and immediately declared elected.
 Liberal leaders allege that $15 900, 00O is now af1oat in England to bring about a Conservative victory, the organizations, including some from the United States Steel corporation. The corruption of voters is now declared to be so fragrant that sufficient grounds will be found for the contest of at least 25 Conservative seats.
 One days reflection over Saturdays results has had a far more inspiriting effect upon the Liberals than upon the Conservatives and the former went into today's battle confident of not losing as large a percentage of their seats as on Saturday,. In the "A con- stituencies that voted Saturday, the Liberals lostsa total of 15 seats, count ing the 2 seats lost by their allies, the Laborites. If this percentage of loss is maintained the total Liberal loss will be approximately 135 seats which, deducted from the total Liberal and Laborite membership in the last par

New York, Jan. 1.-(Opening)-Th stock market at the opening today failed to hold the improvement in the late dealings of Saturday. Price movements were generally downward. American Smelting and Interborough Metropolitan were strongest at the start.
 Il a. srn.-The downward movement after the opening was due largely to the execution of selling orders re- ceived over Sunday and soon ceased, a strong tone development with the news of the government suit against the Union Pacific being Indefinitely postponed.

lowed a flood of light to escapes which
 made the gruesome corpse just as visible to them from above as it was to the cook below They left the clothes on the landing and hurriedly made ready for their escape, forget ting the blue, black felt hat that still lay on the floor in their room.
 Where the Raynores were when the police were searching the building IS not known. They might have been huddled in their darkened apartments waiting for chance to leave, or they few minutes that elapsed between the time the body was found and the time of the finding of the clothes
 If the RaynoreS do not know who did the killing they could undoubted- ly tell who was in their scantily fur nished rooms.
 The Warner block has long been a entrance from the rear alley besides the steps leading up to the several porches
 Opening into Gilbert street is an- other stairway leading up to the Cp- per f7oorss and on the Main street side is the main entrance. The doors lead- ing to Main street and those leading onto the rear porch are the most used. At sometime or other there must have been two or three buildings joined to- gether to create the block, for there is maze of hal'ways on the several floors of the building. One not fam'l- far with the huilding would readily mistake the Gilbert street stairs for those leading out onto Main street Tha- the police missed the room con- taining the bloody evidence was un- doubtedly due to the maze of hallwavs and many doors leading into the same. They looked into the apartment sev- eraI days ago but missed the. room containing the bed. and F. c. Null ms yesterday in Conversation with several of the neighhors began to recall in their minds the several tenants the block had had within the past few months.
 Suddenly it dawned, upon him that a tall woman with brown hair. and short dark man had not been seen ahout the building. The first thing this morning he asked the janitor. Ed ward Allen, to open the apartments of the couple. He did and disclosed the grueson1e evidence.
 On Wednesday night a young man named Plumley told Capt Arnold that he had seen Mullen with a dark haired woman The police showed two wo- men to him and he failed to identify either enc. The description of the Raynore woman compares very favor ably with that given by young Plum ley of the woman seen with Mullen

MAY HOLD BALANCE OF POWER IN
 ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
Outlook for Home Rule for Ireland Never Has Been Brighter Than Now = But Liberals Must Keep
 Their Platfcr Pledged

l liament of 419, will leave them a mem bership, of 284 out of a total mem bership in parliament of 670.
 A corresponding gain for the Con- servatlves WoulN give them repre- Sentatlon of 303 in the next parlia- ment. It looks therefore, as though the Nationalists will hold the balance of power as they had representation of 83 in the last parliament and are hopeful of retaining practically all of their seats in> the present election. Owing to the Liberals promise of home rule to the Irish in the event o ftheir control of parliament, it is certain the Irish Nationalists will be found lined up with the Liberals so long as the latter stick to their plat form pledges. The closer the election result the more powerful will the Irish Nationalists find themselves and they are the ones who are in particularly high feather today over the way the election is going.
 Conservatives are still hopeful of reducing the ministerial majority be- low 10O,which is necessarily if the Con- servatives are to exercise any check at all in the next Parliament. In consequence of the prize still ahead of the Conservatives, they will fight their hardest in the voting of the next fortnight
 The constituencies which are voting today were represented in the last Parliament by 53 Liberals, 36sConser- vativeS and 6 Laborites. Ex-Pre- mier Arthur Balfour of London, John Burns of Battersea, president of the local government board, and Irish Secretary Berrell, of North Bristol, are the three members who are up for reelection today. William Thorne and William Crooks, two of the most prominent of the Laborites, are also being voted on today.
 From present indications the Lib- erals will win a majority of the leg's- lators and the Conservatives a ma- jority of the popular vote.
 The ba1loting thus far gives the Liberals 352.192 votes and the Con- servatives 345,755. The remaining voting promises to result in small ib- eral majorities in about 338 constitu- encies and large Conservative majori- ties in 341 constituencies.
 Tbe voting of Saturday showed con- clns'velv that the anti-House of Lords platform of the Liberels was respon- sible for most of their losses. Tn the Lancashire district, for instance, the Liberal majorities were cut down at a surnrising rate. despite the fact that this is the strongest free trade sec- ton of England and under normal conditions would have given the Lib erals an enormous majority.
 The dissa ffection here is attributed almost solely to the peoples dislike of the idea of ove~tn~,.ino the second chamber. The English fear of any cha that would radically affect the nobility has been conclusive1y shown to he more deep-seated than antici- pated.
 Reeinnine with today's voting. it will he necessearv for the Conserva- tives- th oein .153 seats to be insu~ed of majority fin the newt Parliament S11oh again. added to Saturdays gain of I : and their mem bershin in the last Parliament of 168. would rive them total of 336. or a majority of one.
