NEWFOUNDLAND
CABINET WILL
RESIGN POSTS
To Remain in Office Few
Days, However, to Clear up
Department Matters
TORY VICTORY GROWS
Conservatives to Have Over
400 Members of the New
Parliament

London, Oct. 31.-(By the A. P)--
The Laborite cabinet, headed by
Premier Macdonald. after a two
hour session this morning is under
stood to have decided to remain in
office few days and then resign be-
fore the assembling of the new par
lament.
1t is expected that the cabinet will
resign next week rather than meet
the new parliament and be turned
out upon the Kings address. The
desire on the part Of the government
to remain in office few days long
er is due to the necessity of clearing
up departmental business.
Another cabinet meeting is set for
Tuesday but it is understood the
members have left the Premier free
to decide upon their designations be-
fore then, if he desires.
Result Of Victory
This action was taken in the face
Of the overwhelming conservative
SlCtOIy III luc pdAlIdHSuldiy SiSS-
tions Wednesday. With the excep-
tion Of few outstanding returns
from the Universities and Scotland
the results of the election now are
complete showing the composition Of
the new Commons to be:
Conservatives 1898; Labor 149; Ii
berals 40; Independents 4; Coopera-
tives s; Constitutionalists 3; Com
munists /. Total 500.
The full membership of the House
is 615, and it is expected when the
returns from the Universities are re-
ceived the Conservatives will muster
400 or more seats.
The returns to date show that the
Conservatives made q net gain of
1853; the Liberals net loss was Ill;
and the Laborites Al.
The sensational reduction in the
Liberal representation is the sub
ject of much remark and commenta-
tors point out that the entire Liberal
parliamentary party will now be able
to 60 to the Commons in a single
London omnibus.
To Disappear
The assumption by some that the
historical party, successor of the
18th century Wings, is bound to dis
appear permanently is not taken for
granted everywhere, however. Its
elimination would be welcomed by
those of its opponents who desire a
return to the two-party system.
since the third party, Labor, has evil
dently come to stay, but many believe
the eclipse of the Liberals is only
temporary.
4 Former Premier Lloyd George last
evening laughingly refuted the sug-
gestion that his party was dead.
"What-dead" he exclaimed. "Why
it has just polled 100000 votes"
The Times, which is among those
encouraging the belief in the party's
vitality says: "The election was
fought under circumstances particu-
larly unfavorable to the Liberals
and nobody acquainted with the sit
uation imagines for moment that
the 2,817,0O0 votes they polled re-
presents anything approaching their
permanent strength in the country"

Topping suddenly before the

Rev. Charles c. Boone, professor
Of philosophy at st. Mary's Sem
mary, Baltimore, Md, was decapi-
tated shortly after 9 o'clock this
morning at the entrance of an un

At precisely the minute Father
Boone's body reached the ground, q
train bound for New York passed
by, severing his head from his
body.
Only T. c. Mattingly, a car in.

accident. Mattingly said he was

Father Boone's body was remov.

inquest will be held this afternoon
by Coroner J. Ramsay hewitt.
Had Long Been Ill.
Father Boone suffered constantly
from i'll health, according to mem.
bers of the Washington branch

he was affiliated. For several
years he had been confined in hos.
pitals for various ailments.
About 9 o'clock this morning

TWO SENATORS
PROMINENT IN
OIL PROBE
Walsh and La Toilette Seen
As Gaining Favor for
White House Jobs.
TIMEa sJAEE eHoTo
By GLADSTONE WILLIAMS,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

When the tempest of Teapot
Dome subsidies long enough ia
measure the political consequences,
two members Of the Senate are ex.
pected to stand out as most promi.
nent figures on the political horizon.
They are Thomas ]. Walsh,
Democrat, Of Montana, and Robert
M. La Toilette, progressive Repub-
lican Of Wisconsin. La Toilette
brought about the investigation of
the naval oil reserve leases. and
Walsh, more than anyone else, is
responsible for the spectacular reve-
lations that have been made.
AS a result of his energy and
success. Senator Walsh is already
enjoying quiet boom for the
Democratic Vice Presidential nomi.
nation. In some quarters he is
even mentioned as a Presidential
possibility, CT the dark horse va.
rfety. His chances will depend on
the importance which Teapot Dome
assumes as an issue in the cam
paign. Just now it promises to
over-shadow everything else.
Prestige Gains.
Senator La Toilette is admitted
to have gained additional prestige
because of the part he played in
initiating the oil Investigation.
Already suggested as a possible
leader Of third party movement,
this increased prestige. many Re.
publicans fear, may be an added
temptation for La Toilette to en-
bark on an Independent enterprise.
With a considerable share Of the
Teapot Dome investigation TO his
credit, La Follete would be expected
to make a clean sweep Of several
States in the disaffected area. If
he could not be elected, he could
possibly throw the election into Con.
gress thereby. insuring himself a
unique place in history. Speculation
over the course he will pursue Is
causing Republicans no little con.
cern.
That the Democrats will play the
oil scandal for all it is worth no
one doubts, Metaphorically, the
country will be plastered with tea
pots, and no amount of Republican
Oil, in the way of criminal and
civil proceedings, will quiet the
troubled political waters. from
all present Indications the tempest
of Teapot Dome will rage unabated
until after the November elections.
1t only remains to Le seen how
far political repercussions will ex-
tend.
Moves Awaited.
Those back of the Walsh boom
point out that he would fit better
under the arrangement than any
one else the Democrats might name
for second place. AS the Democratic
Vice Presidential candidate the
Montana Senator would serve to
keep the oil questions to the front
as a burning issue, they say.
Senator La Toilette, silent over
the naval oil reserves for q long
time, is preparing to bring his
big guns into play. When he does
real light will probably be thrown
on his intentions.
