This declaration was wildly Gheered.
Th., Star said this afternoon that q
number Of radicals have decided to
sit with the opposition in commons II
a national coalition cabinet Is formed.
Such action If taken, would wipe out
the time honored seating arrangement
by which parties are grouped IN COM
mons and emphasize the union OF all
parties behind the new ministry.
Liberal leaders were engaged in
,sersas OF conferences before commons
convened. Despit their objection the
formation of a new cabinet was deem
ed inevitable.
The Times today stated that the
government has asked support from
the opposition in forming new min
istry. The union1st leaders have ten
tatively given their consent, the Times
said, but are insisting that they De
given an equal share of important
portfolios in the new cabinet.
A. Bonar Law, leader Of the oppo-
sition and slated for portfolio in the
new cabinet called upon all parties to
forget their differences and to unite
for the successful prosecution of the
war in speech at patriotic drama
tization in Gulldhall, shortly before
commons convened. His remarks were
considered predatory to formal an
nouncement by the government OF the
plan for a coalition cabinet.

LECTURES ON SIBERIA.

w. 3. Moore, Travsisr. Lecturer, Tells
Of Prisons and Exilss.
About one hundred members Of the
Searchlight Club Of the Y. NJ. G. A.
were taken on Journey In Siberia to
visit the prisons. cx.les and penal
colonies Of Russia by w. Blanchard
Moore, OF Chicago, traveller and lee
turer who spoke before the Club Mon
day night on Siberia. The lecture.
which was illustrated with still and
motion pictures. was interesting. The
speaker appeared In the sarb Of a
prisoner, shackled with chains.
The speaker had some things of in
terest to tell regarding the penal sys-
tenn of Russia that he was describing.
This system banishes to the penal
colonies and prisons OF Siberia the
political offenders, law breakers Of all
kinds, and murderers Of Russia. Some
Of these colonies and prisons Moore
told about in detail. He described the
systems Of punishm ant, and of govern
ment of the colonies and prisons and
Of the barbarous practices for enforc-
ing discipline and order In prisons and
penal colonies. Most cruel of all was
the system Of enforced silence and soli-
tude Of far northern Siberia penal
colony, maintained especially for the
political prisoners Of the worst type in
the eyes Of the government.
The speaker told much Of the GUS
toms and habits of the natives and
showed many scenes Of the country.
especially along the route Of the ST.
berian railroad. He ended his lecture
with a brief description Of a journey
to the home Of Count Tolstoi. Motion
pictures Of Siberian fish industry and
q Russian wolf hunt were shown.

A,MUSE rs.
AZ tho Lyric,

The first appearance Of William HI.
Crane, the well-known star of the
legitimate stage, in moving pictures,
was presented Monday evening at the
Lyric in the shape of a five-reel pro-
duction of David Harum," with Mr..
Crane in the title role. AS might be
expected, the droll and characteristic
remarks Of David can not be portrayed
on the screen as they were printed in
the book, and in that way, the picture
does not give the spectator as much
as did the story. But Mr.. Crane has
succeeded in putting a great deal Of
very good acting into his portrayal Of
the principal character, and this, to-
gether with many good scenic effects,
makes the picture worth while.
Harold Lockwood and May Allison
as the young hero and heroine, neces-
sary to all stories, are very acceptable
in their parts, as are the other charac-
ters Kate Meeks as AUNT Polly is
especially good. There is a well-de-
fined plot running thru the story which
keeps the interest UP to a certain
point. Two Of the best incidents are
the selling of the gray horse to the
"Deakin," and Davids visit to the city.
Despite the star, the whole picture
seemed hardly to come up to the ex-
pectations of the audience, which was

AUSTIN STARTS 70
R[ORGAN|Z[ FORGE
NEW SUPERINTENDENT AIMS FOR
GREATER EFFICIENCY IN
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WILL RETAIN LACE As
OFFICER OF THE FORCE
Former Chief Back to Old Beat in the
Depot District-offieer DeIaheyds to
Be Transferred UP Town May
Adopt Sets Of Rules For Government
Of Officers.

A fairly complete reorganization OF
the police department, including the
transfer Of some of the officers and the
enforcement of stricter discipline, Is
contained in the plans for the depart
ment that Councilman Ed T. Austin Is
formulating. The first steps in the re-
organization were taken Monday when
OFFICER Charles F. Breckel was ap-
pointed chief Of police to succeed VIII
Lage.
Breckel is the oldest Of the officers
Of the force. In years Of service he an
tedates any of the others excepting
Lage, who is temporarily off the force:
Lage to Walk Beat.
Lage has been offered and will ac-
cept a place on the force Before he
does so he is going to take vacation
of a month, and when he goes to work
he will be given place in the depot
district, where he was employed when
he was made chief two years ago.
Officer Charles Delahoyde is to be
transferred from the depot district up
town, so that the permanent makeup
of the force, when Lage Is on the force
will be Delahoyde and Starn in the
uptown district and Lage and Sandvig
in the depot district.
May Enforce Rules.
Councilman Austin is expecting to
have prepared a set Of rules and or
ders for the guidance and control OF
the members of the force. This is but
one Of the details for the better discip-
line and management Of the depart
ment that he hopes to put into force.
Years ago the department had code
of rules for the government Of the men
when on duty. These rules have fall
len into disuse, and their existence is
now scarcely more than a memory to
the Oldest men Of the force.

EFFECTS OF EXPLOSION.

London. March. 3.-One of the curl
GUS effects of shell explosion reported
at the military hospitals, Is the loss
of the senses of taste and smell. DR..
Charles Myers states that he has met
three cases of this in his own expert
ence. The men received no flesh
wounds at all, but because of their
loss of senses they could not dis.
tinguish by taste between sugar, qui.
nine, acid and salt, which felt alike to
the tongue.
These cases appear to constitute
definite class among shell shock ef-
fects," Gays DR.. Myers. "The shells

considerable noise, scattering much
dust, but this was not accompanied by
the production of odor. 1t is, there

SAYS POL YCAMY
IMPROVES THE RACE

Cincinnati, March 3. - George II.
Brimhall, president of the Brigham
Young Co-educational University of
Utah, delegate to the National Edu
cational Association, in session here
today, came out in favor of polygamy
for the advancement of the race.
In an address he declared that
"Strict neutrality" in the family, as
promoted by plurality of wives,
maintains peace in the family of a
many-wived husband while q singular
ity of wives more often causes family
discord and divorce.
President Brimhall says that while
polygamy is practically dead there
are many of the older members of the
Mormon Church who continue to have
plural wives and asserts the sons and
daughters of polygamous marriages
are more progressive and capable than
the children of homogeneous mar
riages.

MULES FOR CAVALRY,

Lcndon, March 3.-The latest ship
ment of mules to England is composed
If such clean l!mbed active beasts
that certain army experts have pro
nosed to the war department to use
them for cavalry or mounted infantry
In the British army the mule is used
only for transport and the mountain
battery work, not being regarded as
suitable for other branches of the
service: But Britain's stock of cay
airy horses is exhausted, and the
heavy draught animals left on the
farms are decidedly less active tha'
the latest arrival of mules. Spanish
and Mexican cavalry have always
made liberal use of mules and found
them more servicable than horses 70
