London, January 19.-All the returns of today's elections likely to be received tonight show that the unionsts gained five seats and the liberals one, leaving the present position of the parties as follows:
 Unionists, 129; liberals, 1l9; laborites, p; nationalists, A.
 Thus far, therefore, the unionists have a net gain of 45 seats. They are required to obtain at least 16S net gains to wipe out the liberal majority in the last par lament.
 Of the elections for S1 members of the new parliament held in Great Britain today the result of less than half was announced tonight, the others being in widely scattered districts where it takes considerable time to collect the ballot boxes.
 In London where four boroughs boiled, two remained to the liberals and one to the laborites, while the fourth went over from the liberal side to the unionists.
 In northern England the liberals gen. orally hold the seats won in 1906. This also is true of Scotland but the mid lands continue to go over to the party of tariff reform. The London seats the government lost was Hackney, north, where Raymond E. Greene, the unionist candidate, defeated T. Hart Davies, c. w. Bowerman, prominent liberal, re- tains his Deptford seat, and Sir A. Spi- cer, president of the London chamber of commerce, and H. Bottemley was re- elected for central and south Hackney, respectively.
 How closely the unionists are fighting their opponents is shown by the follows ing figures of the aggregate polling to date:

 Chachkin was injured. one of his daugh- ters is dead, and another dying. Chach- lxin's force of operators was greatly re- duced owing to the shirtwaist strike. Otherwise the number of fatalities prob ably would have been greater, 1t is said.
 Many of the employees jumped from windows. Men on the street spread blank cts and an awning to break the falls of the jumpers. but In the dense smoke which filled the narrow street many of the victims hit the pavement before the im- provised fire nets could be extended for them.

 We bring in upon ourselves the old canonical laws. the ecclesticial restric- tions and hedge them about with every sort of hindrance that is detrimental to true public policy and human happi- ness"
 It was her judgment, she said. that if the men in attendance upon the confer ence wanted to enact the proper legisla tion as set forth in the resolutions, they had better give the women chance to vote with them on these questions.
 Frederick L. Hoffman of New Jersey. speaking on the subject of uniform vital statitstics. startled the conference. After a running comment on the birth and death rate of the country he declared that tue historical nation was dying out and added that when the blood which made the revolution possible had become mixed with foreign blood, there is but one result and that was decadence. Stephen H. Allen of Arkansas aroused the enthusiasm of the delegates by a strong plea for uniformity in legal pro- cedure.

Leavenworth, Kan., January 19.-On a little iron cot in cell of the federal prison here, John R. Walsh today began serving 8 fve-year sentence for misap- plying the funds of the Chicago National bank
 MT. Walsh acknowledged the situation with good grace, and is outspoken of the kindly manner in which he has been treated since his arrival at noon today. Behind his grave front there is believed to be a secret belief in his own mind that he will never live out his sentence.
 Tonight 1t became known that while MT. Walsh was talking in private with an old friend who Is said to be a man like him. self with white hair, whom he has known for half century, he remarked: 'I don't believe shall ever live out my sentence if am not pardoned"
 The sad remark and new surroundings did not make MT. Walsh, or convict 6S1, nervous. He sat calmly in cell tonight and read until the big gong sounded lights out' at g o'clock.
 The guard passed the cell a few minutes later and found the former banker and railroad magnate sleeping In peace.

COOKS ORIGINAL
 NOTES EXAMINED

Copenhagen, January 19.-The comittee of the University of Copenhagen has completed its examination of Dr. breder- ick A. Cooks original notes and today confirmed it's previous conclusions that not the slightest proof that the explorer reached the north pole had been sub mitted.
 The report was submitted to the con- sistory of tho university today. The committee finds that the copy of Cook data. upon which It's previous decision was based conforms in the main to the original note book now in It's posses sion.
 The latter, the examiners say, con- tains various alterations. but there IS nothinx to show whether the changes were made with the purpose of deceiv- ing.
 While the consistory was unanimous in declaring that Cooks claims were absolutely untrue, there are still some of it's members who urge that Cook IS an honest man, though not scientist
 No immediate steps will be taken to rescind the honorary degree conferred upon Cook as the verdict is merely one of "case unproven'' su far as the de- cision of the university is concerned. However Rector Solomensen and Profess sor sti omgen, the chairman of the ex- aminfnr committee, have been delegated to consider further evidence at their dis posal after which final action concern ing the universitys honoring of the ex- plorer may be taken.

MINE WORKERS ARE tPLAYING POLITICS

Indianapolis. January 19.-The most powerful unified labor organization in the world, the Mine Workers of North Amer ica, played politics bitterly all of tc- day in its convention in this city and finally rebuffed it's international admins tration. The 'filibusters," so called, by President T. l.. Lewis. succeeded in car rying a motion to suspend during the convention the salaries of the interna- tional organizers that are in attend ance as representatives of lacol unions and to put upon the unions the ex- pense of their support as delegates.
 The leaders of the insurgents were Frank J. Hayes, who probably has been elected international vice president, and who now is secretary of the Illinois dis trict; William Greene of Ohio, Lewis opponent in the election for the presi- dency; John H. Walker, president-elect of the Illinois miners, and Lewis de- feated rival for the international presi- dency last year; Duncan McDonald, now the president of the Illinois district and Francis Feehan. president of the Pitts burg district.
 The anti-administration speakers charged that about 50 international or ganzers, being under the control of President Lewis, had been called into the convention in the expectation that they could further the interests of tho administration; that some of them had solicited delegates credentials from local 6hionis supposed to be unable to send delegates and that they should have re- mained in their districts attending to tho duties for which they were paid
 After President Lewis had closed his speech there was further argument un- til a motion to end the debate was car ried by a vote of 53S ayes and 467 noes. The original motion was then put and carried.
 The reports of President Lewis. Sec retary-Treasurer Edwin Perry. and Vice President Mccullough were read and the convention adjourned for the day.

MEMORY OF ROBERT E. LEE
 HONORED AT THE CAPITAL

Washington. January 1s.-In an unpre- cedented manner was the memory of Rob- ert E. Lee honored at the capitol today, despite the opposition which developed in the Senate yesterday against any action of the United States government toward honoring the Confederate general.

 Attaches of the capitol declared that the placing of the flowers on statue In the hall of fame in honor of the birthday of the man thus commemorated marked a precedent.

have heard, upon the behavior of
let's say, the teachers.
Last Saturday afternoon the foot
ball boys played the return game
with Benson and succeeded in securing
score of 5 to 5 against their heavier
opponents. The line up was as follows !:
LEM, left end; Torrey, left tackle;
Hammond, left guard; Tomlin. cen
ter; Stinson. right guard; Dohlen,
right tackle; Trieschel, right end !;
Bicknell, quarter back; Satter, right
half back; Ortman. left half back;
Nelson, full back; Maughn, substi-
tute. The team was in better shape
than it had been for any previous
game. On defense, the line always
held and the ends and backs did good
tackling. On offence, off tackle plays
and forward passes enabled the team
to make first down repeatedly. FIRE.
quently. however. the ball was lost on
long passes and fumbles. Olaf, Jack
and Captain "Jimmie' were sure
ground gamers. The touch down was
made in the first five minutes of play.
Ben got the ball on a tumble and
made thirty yard run, to plant the
ball between Benson's goal posts.
The try for goal failed. Benson Sc
cured their score as a result of a
series of long punts, which gave them
possession of the ball on our five
yard line. On third down their full
back carried the ball across, but it
was so near the side line that they
tried punt OUT, but were unsuc-
cessful. When time was called at the
end of the first half, we had the ball
on Benson's ten-yard line, and were
ploughing thru their team at everv
play, but the time keeper proved more
effective than their 'stonewall" and
stopped our progress. Neither side
scored in the second half. Benson
made two unsuccessful drop kicks and
the game ended to in our favor.
That is, it was just as good as a vic
tory because Benson had been so con-
fdent of winning. After the game
the team were given an supper by Cy
