IRISH WILL HAVE
BALANCE OF POWER
British Election Returns Give Fore.
cast of Final 0utcome-Lords APP
peal To King George.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-There is every
prospect today that the conservatives
will not make net gain Of more
than four or Ave seats In the present
general election. But they are already
seeking TO influence King George
against the creation of Liberal peers
by arguing that even this small gain
Will show that the country is not
ready for the radical measure pro-
posed by the ministry, particularly
the abolition of the lords veto.
On account Of his well-known Tory
sympathies, the fear is increasing that
the king will heed the Unionists de-
mand, disregarding what is consider
ed by many "a virtual promise to the
Liberals, thus making imminent a
parliamentary deadlock.
At present. the returns show III
Conservatives elected, and 81 Liber
ais, l6 Irish Nationalist and IA Lab
orites, or coalition OF III. AS the
voting from now on will see the Con
servatives on the defensive more
than in the polling so far conducted
the Liberals are expected to throw
the balance much more largely in
their favor.
Accepting the most sweeping claims
OF the Conservatives the resuN will
still give the Liberals and Laborites
majority OF about 20.
This means that the Irish will again
WELD the balance OF power.
If the Irish continue their present
bellicose attitude toward the lords
there is the widest conjecture as
to what they will do in the event Of
the kings weakening on the proposal
to change the complexion or the upper
house by swapping IT with Liberal
peers. They have 1t in their power to
force another early election and to
involve the crown ia the most serious
political controversy that has engaged
the crown in years.
II Is the knowledge of this fact by
the king that gives rise to the belief
in the minds of many Liberals that
George will grant the demands Of the
ministry, make the house OF lords
q Liberal body and thus insure the
speedy grant OF home rule in Ire
land.

BOARD OF CONTROL WOULD
ABANDON JACKSON PRISON
vii! Make Recommendation to Legis.
iature That New institution Be
Erected Outside City.

JACKSON. Mich, Dec. 6.-The
abandonment Of the present Jackson
prison and the erection of a modern
institution outside the ely, Is a plan
that Will be submitted at the coming
session of the legislature by the pris
on board OF control. The board il
unanimous in the opinion that a new
prison should be erected to take the
place OF the one that has done ser
vice for so many years. The board
will ask for an appropriation for the
purchase of 500-acre farm where the
convicts can be put at work II will
be impossible. without an amendment
is made by the next Legislature, for
the state TO let any prison contracts
after Dec. IL, 1911.
There are many objections to the
present prison buildings and IL they
continue in use many hundreds of
thousands of dollars in improvements
must be made. Al least $225,00O must
be expended In the near future for a
new cell block In the east wing. An
other drawback TO the present build
ings Is the easy manner in which an
escape may be affected. II convict
can make his escape through any of
the windows of the cell blocks, which
face In the streets, and has Ave or
ten minutes start, he Is practically
lost as far as discovery Is concerned
The city shelters hundreds OF ex-con-
victs who are. as rule, willing 10
help man after he has made his es-
cape.
The unions are rapidly forcing pris-
on contract labor out OF existence. II
Is believed that the institution could
be made practically selfsupporting il
the inmates were put TO work raising
the materials they consume. The mill
bill alone at the prison for the past
year amounted to the sum of $4,000
and the cost OF farm produce attains
"a very high figure. An appropriation
OF $4,000, for repair work during the
next two years. will be asked of the
Legislature providing the proposition
for new institution is voted down

JOHN J. BELL IS
REELECTED MAYOR
Port Huron Also Picks Four Com
missiorers Under New Plan of
Government.

PORT HURON, Mich, Dec. g.
Port Huron's first election under the
commission plan of government was
held yesterday and the results are al
most the same as those OF the pri-
maries one week ago, with the ex-
ception that Charles f.. Mudford was
the fourth man chosen as commits
sioner in the place OF Harrison w.
Names, who was among the leading
candidates one week ago.
John j. Bell was elected mayor OF
the city. his majority being 720,
which is better than he received at
the primaries. His opponent, David
Goodwillie, did not make as strong a
run as was anticipated by his friends
and the fact that Bells majority is
even greater than week ago is one
of the surprises OF the election.
The four men who will, With Mayor
Bell, guide the affairs OF this NUM-
cipality for the next two years are
Sam O. Altman, Andrew j. Smith,
f. J. Dixon and Charles f. Mudford.
That unusual interest was taken in
the election yesterday is shown by
the fact that the entire strength OF
the city vote was polled. This, In
spite of the frlgid weather which
prevailed, shows that Port Huron
citizens generally have taken re-
markable interest in the new COM
mission plan OF government
The men elected yesterday will
take office on New Years day. The
new government will be divided into
Ave departments, as follows: Public
affairs. accounts and finances, public
safety, streets and public improve
ments, parks and public property.
Just who will be the executive
heads OF the various departments is
not known at present, and will not
be known until the first meeting OF
the commission Is held Then the
work Will be cut out for each mem
Der, and by the terms of the new
charter, they must devote their en-.
tire time to the office.

lzation. Ii Is at present being moved
from a factory built for It only two
years ago at Lieb and Larned-sts. to
an immense new plant on the United
States Motor Cos tract ON Oakland
ave.
A chronological record OF the growth
OF this young concern Is interesting.
In 1906, the corporation was organ
lied, and commenced the manufacture
OF motors in part of a building on
Guoin-st. A liberal policy of adver-
Using was adopted. and as soon as the
motors began to be shipped, the de.
mand for them was phenomenal. At
that time il was almost impossible
TO rent factory buildings, and the
firm managed TO get one floor OF an.
other building on Guoin-st.. at the
corner OF Lieb. and commenced the
construction of the factory It is just
leaving. A two-story building was
erected in 1907, followed in 1908 by
fve-story building beside it, This
in turn was rendered too small by
the growth of the business. The new
plant will be 1000 feet long by 100
wide. and will be so situated as TO
give room for expansion
Last spring, the Gray Motor Co
was absorbed by the United States
Motor Co, which includes the Max

Dayton, Brush Runabout, Alden-Samp'
son and the Brlscoe Manufacturing
companies.
The officers OF the Gray Motor Co
are: President: o. j. milford; vice

tary.treasurer. Il. G. Hoyt. The line

down his own time spent at work and

by the government conditions OF the
race. The use Of horses, too, must
be reckoned by the hour as a cost,
and the government sets a selling
price of one dollar a bushel Though
the boys usually get much more than
this for their prize corn, selling it
for seed.
The congressman from the south
will take the IL champion boys
around the capitol and introduce
them to Uncle Joe Cannon, Senator
LaFollette, Champ Clark and the
other statesmen, who, before, have
