More Strength.

London. March THE municipal re.
formers secured yesterday for the third
time a majority in the London county

improved their position, however, over
1910, when their majority was two.

81 are reformers and 81 progressives.

the two by the progressives are widely

of 27 to Ia

Washington, d. c., March The
Democratic senator's to-day chose Sem
ator James p. Clarke Of Arkansas for
president pro tempore OF the Senate over
Senator Augustus c. Bacon Of Georgia.
by vote of 27 to IA. The outcome was
a great surprise as it was considered
that Senator Bacon would be elected.
The choice of the Democratic caucus
is equivalent to an election in the Sen.

pEsTITUTI0N REVEALED.
In Burlington Family Has Stirred Official
Circles There.

Burlington. March 7.-The death yes.
terday OF three weeks old baby boy in
shack on Battery street brought ia
light a story OF a struggle with hunger
and poverty which created something OF
sensation in certain city departments
when the facts were learned. The death
of the infant was caused by pneumonia
following measles, and the surroundings
in which the child lived its short span OF
life undoubtedly had much to do with
its death.
The family in question is composed OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Everlith, two small
children, and, until yesterday, the infant
boy. They live In two small rooms at
lll Battery street near the corner of
Main street. Everlith il confined to his
bed with an abseess on one leg and, ac-
cording TO the statement made yester-
day by his mother. who lives upstairs,
the family has had no fael for nearly
three weeks except what she has been
able to pick up about the railroad tracks,
and efforts 10 obtain provisions from the
poor department were in vain until We'd
desday. when certain charitably inclined
persons heard OF the case and Immediate
ly telephoned the poor department,
whereupon provisions were sent TO the
family. In the meantime Police Officer
Christopher Miles, whose beat is on Bat
terry street. together with Alderman
Walker and Arthur Laduke, succeeded in
obtaining small quantity of wood from
the Champlain shops for the family's
immediate need.
Overseer of the poor killam when
asked about the case yesterday, said that
when his department was first asked for
aid he sent DR. Coutu, city physician, to
the house to investigate Everlith's condi-
tion. According to Mr.. Killam, DIR.
Coutu found Everlith sitting up by the
window when he passed the house and
on his return Everlith had jumped into
bed with his clothes on. This was veri-
fed yesterday by DIR. Coutu, who said
that Everlith told him he had a headache
and he left him some powders and Ever
18th told him he thought he would be all
right in day or two. DIR. Coutu went
10 see the family again few days later
md found Everlith confined to the bed
with an abseess on his leg.
Everlith's mother stated that after DIR. |
,outu had called the first time she tele-
,honed Mr.. killam to come down and
zee for himself what the conditions We're
ind that Mr.. Killam replied that he
would have Everlith arrested.
