Governor Small Acquitted of Charges
Tre0tyites Areh Majority In New
 Irish Parliament

DUBLIN, June 24.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-Complete returns in the elections for a new parliament in southern Ireland show that the body will be made up of 5S pro-treaty rep resentatives; S6 anti-treaty represen- tatives: IT Laborites; 2 farmers can didates; independents, and 4 mem- bers from Trinity College.
 Although the meeting of parliament is only a week off, and though the need for a combination to resist dis order is still urgent, both factions point out that nothing has been done toward forming the proposed coalition cabinet. The republicans say the first move is with the treatyites and are waiting a request to nominate their agreed four ministers in the joint cab inet. after which they could discuss conditions of acceptance. But the treatyites, apparently, are in no hurry to ask their help.
 On the republican side, while some of the more practical men like Harry Roland still are desirous of peace, much bitternessi has been caused by the defeats of republicans on the pan- el ticket, due to the refusal of treaty men to vote the whole panel ticket. On the other side, it is suggested that even such successes as the republi- cans obtained were due to wholesale impersonation of absent voters.

Groups of Scotland yard men in every manner of disgliise were deployed in doorways. alleys, and ob- scure corners. and fully 300 special de- tectives patrolled the streets for a radius of several blocks of the Har- vey residence. almost as much an ob- feet of interest as the Wilson home nearby.
 Hundreds of curious waited outside to catch glimpse of the distinguish ed guests. Detectives were on all sides when Premier Lloyd George alighted from his automobile, and the other members of the cabinet were similarly safeguarded
 The gathering lasted until after midnight. the king and queen remain ing until tho end. which is unusual as the sovereigns were never known to remain to such late hour at previ. ous dinners.
