For First Time in History
Premier is Not Member s
Of Either House.

Paris,SJan. 12.--Most Of the outgo-
ing senator's who were candidates
We're reelected yesterday, one OUT
standing exception being Charles
Humbert. who was acquitted last May
BY a courtmartial Of a charge OF hRv-
ing had dealings with the enemy.
One unified socialist candidate was
elected. Hitherto that party had
boycotted the senate, advocating its
Baron d'Estournelles de Constant
was reelected senator from the de-
partment of Sarthe, while Canon COL
lin. newspaper proprietor, and
General Hirschauer were elected
from Lorraine. 5.
For the first time in the history Of
France the premier is not member
Of deputies. This was result Of M
Clemenceau's refusal to be a candi-
date in the Var constituency, Rene
Renoult being elected to the pre-
mier's seat in the senate. M. Clem-
enceau will thus be unable to take
part in the election Of a president.
Today's newspapers unite in felici-
tating President Poincare on his elec-'
ton to the senate from the depart
ment Of the Meuse.
President Poincare has written to
the electors accepting the senator
ship. He was not a candidate, but
received few votes on the first ball
lot and was chosen almost unAni-
mously on the second.
II am profoundly touched by the
mark of faithful affection you have
spontaneously given me-" he wrote.
"At the end of the magistracy en-.
trusted to me by the national assem-
bly,, l. shall be proud again to repre-
sent the patriotic populations of the
Meuse, some Of whom have been dur
ing four years the victims Of invasion,
while others have had their homes
destroyed, and all of whom have
borne unheard of sacrifices with the.
noblest courage. 1 shall work with
them for the rebirth of our unfortu-
nate country. They can count upon
my entire, Devotion

was no damage. The total number
of traffic accidents last month was
400. an increase of eleven over the
corresponding month of last year.
'The number looks large" re-
marked Maj. Gessford. superintendent
of police. to Star reporter last
night, "but when it is taken into con-
sideration that every accident the
police learn of, no matter how in
significant. was reported, it is not
SO large"
Maj. Gessford explained that in
many instances the accident involves
nothing more than an automobile
striking a curb or tree box.
'If motorists would obey the reg
ulation giving the driver to the right
the right of way at street intersec
TONS" said Maj. Gessford. there
would be fewer accidents Failure to
observe that regulation causes many
of the accidents"
