Bureau.

Record cold for the winter was
established early this morning when
the mercury sank to GA degrees
above zero. 1t was the coolest wea-
ther since 1918.
The coldest previous weather or
the winter was early this month
when the thermometer fell to 9 de-
grees above zero.
Readings on the Government
kiosk showed that the previous cold
record was broken at midnight,
when the thermometer registered a
fraction under 9 degrees above.
The coldest weathered registered
throughout yesterday was at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, when II
was 20 degrees above zero.
Skating was possible on all ponds
and streams in the District early to-
day. The opportunity, however, will
not last long, according to the pre-
| dictions OF the Weather Bureau.
The weather will moderate some
late this afternoon and grow con-
tinually warmer until the end of the

Futile, They Retort.

Edward w. Box, originator and
promoter of the. $100y y900-Peace

Senatorial inquisitors today with
a startling offer.
In a letter to Senator Moses

offered to turn over to the Sen

of the 22,164 peace plans sub
mitted in the recent contest and
allow the Senators to select the
plan which they believed to be
the best.

winner they selected the sum OF

expenses of a nationwide referen.

Bok's new offer was received
with scorn by members of the
Senate investigating committee
Senator Caraway Dem.) of Arkan

friendly to Box, termed it futile
"I have no concern about the
merits of Mr.. Bok's peace plan

FORMING
CABINET
Macdonald Promises That He
Will Take No Radical
Steps.
BY DAVID M. CHURCH.



LONDON, Jan. 22.-Premier
Stanley Baldwin, chief Of the
Tory government Of Great Brit
ain for nearly eight months, re-
signed today after the House of
Commons had adopted q resolu-
tion last night expressing lack of
confidence in his cabinet. The
Labor party was summoned into
power for the first time in Eng.
lish history.
Premier Resigns.
Baldwin Iaconically announced the
resignation of his government in
the House Of Commons this after
noon amidst wild and tumultuous
demonstration by the Laborites.
"The government which I had
the honor to head has resigned, -
said the premier.
After Baldwin had visited Buck.
ingham Palace, where he rendered
the resignation Of his government,
]. Ramsay Macdonald. leader of the
Labor party and chief of the op.
position in the House of Commons,
was invited to the palace to receive
the designation of premier.
The retiring premier started to
walk to Buckingham Palace to
hand in the designations, but a
squall Of rain blew up compelling
him to summon a taxicab.
Although Baldwin is Tory and
| a representative of the Kingdoms g
mobiles his method of travel was
more democratic than that of the
Laborites. When Macdonald set
out for the palace he travelled in
a private motor car, accompanied
by John Robert Clines, a Laborite
and former member of the cabinet.
King George summoned a privy
council making Macdonald q mem.
ber of it.
| Crowd Is JubiIant.
Both Baldwin and Macdonald
entered the palace through a side
gate, avoiding huge crowd which
had gathered at the front entrance
This crowd set up a cheer every
time a motor car hove into sight
thinking 1t might contain the new
prime minister.
Macdonald spent an hour with
the King. AS he departed from
the palace he encountered a CROWD
of laborers and unemployed men
at the gates.
Good Old Mac" cried the crowd
amidst cheers.
An aged laboring man, dressed In
overalls cried:
MAC, is it true you are pre-
mier?"
Macdonald smiled and nodded ir
the affirmative.
The crowd rushed up to shake
hands. Macdonald looked like 4
leader Of labor. He was attired ir
O. silk frock coat and wore a sill
hat. His companions wore business
suits.
Labor comes into power at a tim,
when the entire nation is torn will
labor strife, the railway locomotive
engineers and firemen and some n
the coal miners being on strike.
MacDonald's followers said h,
would set his face at once toward
settling these disputes:
Liberals Back Labor.
Many of the Liberals voted foi
the Laborite resolution of "no con
fidence," the result being 32s ir
favor of II and 256 in opposition.
The final meeting Of the old cab
met was held this morning iust
