Despite the assertions of political and
racial enemies ireland continues far in
advance Of the rest OF the United Kingdom
in freedom from crime. Statistics compiled
by the Howard association, a non-political
organization for the treatment and pre-
vention Of crime. show that Ireland so far
from being in the state of lawlessness in
which It is often represented, is, In fact
more free from crime than England or
Scotland. The averages OF committals to
prison during Tho year 1909. a fair enough
test Of the crime OF the respective coun-
tries is given per 1O0o OF the population
The figures are: Scotland. 1894; England
and Wales, 6S; Ireland 81 ITO Scotland
then, belongs the unenviable distinction of
having twice the average OF the other parts
Of Great Britain and Ireland" And the
report shows that IN ireland, while there
was a small increase In the number OF
persons, committed 10 prison. the Increase
was so small that the average remained
the same as in the previous year But in
England and Wales there was a positive
increase OF 10000 prisoners Of All categorles.

WEAKER THAN IN
LAST PARLIAMENT
Liberals Ts1D Had Majority Over
All Oihar Parties.

London, Jan. 31.-The general cleo
tions for members of the new parlia-
ment are at an end, with the excep-
tion of seven constituencies, the re-
turns from which can easily be fore
casted. The tripartite coalition of
Liberals, Laborites and Irish Nation
alists find themselves in the majority
with an advantage of 122 seats.
The combination, however, includes
ten O'Brienites and Sealeyites, who
are sworn opponents to the budget
and of any trucking to either Saxon
party.
From the viewpoint of the politicians
the chief practical result is the
marked weakening of the position of
the ministry, which at the time of the
dissolution of the last parliament COM
manded a clear majority of fifty-eight
over all other parties combined.
In the new house of commons the
Liberals will be unable to legislate
without Laborite or Nationalist sup
port. The Irish members will be in a
position to throw the government out
at any time they see fit unless the
Unionists come to the rescue, as it is
conceivable they might do under GER
tain circumstances.
For the first time since the elec-
tions for parliament were begun the
returns showed the Liberals as a
party to be in the lead, independent
of the Laborites and Irish National
lists. They have an advantage of one
over the Unionists.
The position of the parties at pres.
ent is: Liberals, 271; Unionists, 270;
Irish Nationalists, 80; Laborites, 40

Drawn Into the Hearing for First
Time Since the Probe Began.
Washington, Jan. 31-When L. r.
CLAWS resumed the stand in the Bal
linger-Pinchot inquiry he was ques-
toned particularly with reference to
several conversations he had with
Commissioner bennett in 1908. Very
few spectators were in the hearing
room when the committee began it's
work. Price and Shaw were late in
arriving and two members of the
committee. Senator Paynter and Rep
resentatiye Olmsted, were not in their
seats.
'At any OF the conversati rs which
you had with bennett was there any
attempt to hinder you in your work
in Alaskan cases?" asked Chairman
Knute Nelson
WELL" began witness, certainly,

Answer the question:" commanded
senator Nelson
IL will have to explain matters a
little more -" said CLAWS.
"Oh, answer the question yes or
no." reiterated Mr.. Nelson.
"Well-yes,' finally answered Glav-
is, there was.'
There were several minor clashes
between the witness and Chairman
Nelson as the hearing progressed,
CLAWS showing a tendency to wander
into long, rambling replies. He be-
came so involved several times that
Nelson stopped him abruptly and had
tions.
Claws Attorney Cautioned.
Senator Nelson also cautioned At
torney Brandeis against asking lead
ing questions of the witness.
For the first time since the inquiry
started Clifford Pinchot was not in
the first row of spectators Mr.. Pin
chot's namo, eddy enough, was drawn
into the hearing on the first day of
his absence. CLAWS had get to that
point in his story of the Cunningham
claims where the land Office placed
Special Agent Sheridan in charge of
the case to conduct the hearings.
Sheridan was lawyer and had
wide experience ?" inquired Senator
Nelson.
Eyes, SIR replied CLAWS.
"Was the government interest
placed in jeopardy by his assign
ment?"
"No, sir; not by that action. He
took the same view of the case that
did"
Wasn't IT the fact that Sheridan
superseded you that made you think
1t necessary to apply to Pinchot to
introduce you to the president and
that so alarmed you as to the status
OF these cases?"
