TAKES FATAL PLUNGE FROM
HOTEL WINDOW.
BELIEVED TO BE AN ACCIDENT
Victim Was Head OF the Family Who
Figured In Smuggling Case
He Was Worth
$12,oo0,o0o.

chicago, Sept. 23.-Charles w. AL.
len, millionaire father of the leather
trust and head of the Kenosha family
that attained nationwide notoriety
through alleged wholesale smuggling
operations, met death in the Palmer
Louse under such circumstances that
the coroner must decide whether or
not he carried out carefully laid
suicide plan.
Aliens body was found at the bot
tom of a light shaft in the north wing
Of the hotel few minutes after
guests throughout the building had
been alarmed by the crash as it struck
and smashed through the wooden
floor.
Looking up at the window of Aliens
room, four stories above, the hotel
attaches saw that it was open. When
they lifted up the body to carry it to
a nearby room, they found beneath 1t
the broken pieces of chair. This
evidently had made the plunge with
Allen, for the floor under the body
was caved in and the fragments could
not have been lying there.
The room was the same that had
been occupied internationally by Allen
since April 1. All the officers found
in it, besides the furniture, was AL.
lens hat and coat, a brass baggage
check and crumpled telegram. The
dispatch read

Says Death Was Accidental.
Dewitt G. Dregier, city custodian,
said:
"Mr. Aliens death was due to an
accidental fall from the window. The
assertion that he may have committed
suicide is absurd He had plenty OF
money, and his health was good
though lately he has not been feeling
as we'll as usual"

OppOSlLlOn majority, oU.
The Liberals lost ground practically
in every province of the Dominion.
Where they won, their majorities were
small. Where the Conservatives won,
their majorities were tremendous.
Ontario, the leading province of Can
ada, declared almost unanimously
against the administration and reci-
procity.
Robert L. Borden, leader of the Con-
sentative party, shortly will become
the prime minister of Canada. He
will be supported in parliament by
working majority of members far
more than ample for his purposes.
Past Not to Be Introduced.
The government defeat means that
the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agree
ment, ratified by the American con-
gress in extra session. will not be in
troduced when the twelfth parliament
assemblies next month, and that re-
vised basis of trade with the United
States, looking to closer commercial
relations, will not be possible in the
immediate future. The Conservatives
are committed to policy of trade
expansion within the empire and a
closed door against the United States.
Although reelected in two constit-
uencies in Quebec, the defeat of the
Liberal party also means the retire
ment from public life of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, who for nearly two decades
has directed the destinies of the
S,,;> l.
bitter campaign the venerable pre-
mier said that defeat of his party at
the polls meant the end of his career;
that he never would consent to lead
a minority in opposition to Con-
sentative government
A Liberal membership of SO from
Quebec was cut down to Sc, which,
taken alone, seriously threatened the
supremacy of the party. But it was
in Ontario that the Conservatives won
their greatest victories.
Opposition Sweeps All Before.
Spurred on by appeals to patriotism
and the cry that reciprocity was the
entering wedge for annexation, the
Conservatives swept nearly every
thing before them. Ontario, which in
the last parliament was represented
by IS Liberals and 81 Conservatives.
will send a delegation to the next
composed of 10 Liberals and IS Con-
servatives. A notable feature of the
defeat was the opposition's capture
Of two hitherto Liberal seats in Sas-
katchewan.
Landslide Is Unexpected.
The landslide was not expected by
either side. The Liberals were con-
fident that they would be returned by
the people with an increased ma
jority, for they believed that reci-
procity would be most acceptable to
the Canadian electors. While the
Conservatives claimed that they would
have a majority, they did not expect
that it would be so large or that the
general verdict of the country would
be given so decisively against the
government.
They feared that reciprocity would
prove popular with the farmers of
Ontario and the farmers and fisher
men of the maritime provinces, and,
while confident that they would win
the cities, they were dubious as to the
result in rural constituencies. How
ever, in Ontario especially, the agri-
cultural vote went almost solidly
against reciprocity, and in the mari
time provinces it did not prove to be
the popular issue expected.
