: (Bv Cable to The Times.) .
London. Jan. 21 Sensation was
caused today by the announcement
from the liberal headquarters that the
liberals will' not accept the ministerial
control if their majority over the union
ists is not at least 40, includin? the
labor members but without the Irish
nationalists. The Indications this af
ternoon were that the liberal and labor
majority would not reach 40.
London, Jan. 21 The jubilation which
liud marked liberal headquarters dur
ing the early days of the election,
turned to gloom today as the first re
sults of yesterday's ballotting come In,
showing that the unionists had made
still further gains. The liberals aon t
fear that the unionists will hold the
power in the coming parliment but
they are gradually losing hope of be
ing able to control It themselves with
out a coalition, according the aid of
the nationalists. . ,
The first three districts to report to
day all showed unionist gains. These
were Saffron, Walden and Essex. All
night long London was filled with
crowds cheering for the unionist vic
tories and It was not until dawn that
they dispersed to their homes or to
work.
While the present election is scarce
ly past the crisis, the conservative
forces have already begun lying their
plans for the overthrow of the liberal
' government and another general elec
tion within a, year. The continued
unionist encroachments on the liberal
majority which is being slowly sliced
down, have brought Joy to the oppo
sition leaders. The liberals profess
confidence bill unbiased politicians say
that in the now .parliment,' their
majority Including the enlhi; govern-'
nienl block will scarcely be more than
100 while It Was expected before the
election to be 170 without the Irish.
When the polling In 66 provincial
constituencies opened today, the re
sults of 34 of the- districts that bat
lotted yesterday had not been an
nounced. They began to come soon
after balloting started.
Tho weather today, fair and cold, was
conducive to the maintenance of the
high percentage of franchise holders
voting. .
The'stock market reflected the union
ist gains, opening cheerful.
The sacking of the suffrage head
quarters at Carnarvonshire was today
followed by a resumption of activity by
the militant women throughout the
country. A ' delegation at Carnarvon
shire attempted to heckle Lloyd-George
and the sympathizers of the chancellor
became so incensed that they attempt,
ed to deck the women.
Seizing the wagon on which the wo
men stood the crowd rushed toward
the fountain, and- the police hud a
hard fight In saving the suffragettes.
Then an attack on the women's head
quarters was made, and while the po
lice fought oft the manifestants in
front, the place was attacked from tho
the rear and rifled.
Disorder was rife at many points.
Victorious liberals were attacked by a
mob at Buckingham, and forced to take
refuge 1n houses. Stones and brick
bats flew freely, one smashing the
glass wind shield of an automobile In
which were Lady Verney and Miss
Verney, mother and sister of the win-'
' ning liberal, F. W. Verney.
' Not only has one woman cast her
ballot in the election, but two fourteen-year-old
boys and several Amerl
' cans. Anyone whose name Is on the
register may vote unchallenged, and
errors have been numerous. ,

lowing resolution:
"Resolved, That all members of

GREEK BOYS TO
BE DEPORTED
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Galveston, Texas, Jan. 21 After an
investigation extending over several
months, the immigration department
has ordered 200 Greek boys, ranging
in age from 9 to 15 years, deported
to their native country. This action
was taken upon -the ground of viola
tion of the alien contract labor law;
also In violation of child labor act.
These boys are in Galveston, Hous
ton, San Antonio, Fort Worth and
other cities, and are employed princi
pally in shoe shining establishments
operated by their own countrymen.
They will be herded here for depor
tation.. The men charged with hav
ing imported the boys will be prose
cuted. They claim the boys were Bent
out by their parents and guardians
without contract or agreement on
the part of the men employing them.
Government secret service operatives,
however, claim to- possess evidence
showing that the boys were under
contract When they left Greece and
that many of the contracts practical
ly- amount to the sale of boys who
are hired by parents at trilling sums
to be paid, to parents, while the boy
under the terms of the contract is
supposed to be given his schooling
and board. In reality ho gets no
schooling,- hut hard work ; and in
many instances miserable board and
shelter. . ' ' '

explosion in the gas generating plant,

of the Erie Railroad in JerseyVCity,
threatening the destruction ofthe
entire plant and the passenger depot

The New York Central and the
Lackawanna railways were called on
for aid and lent their fire tugs, which,
with those of the Erie, put up a hard
battle from the river, while the land
engines were handicapped by lack of
hydrants.
A two-story office building in which
were favorable freight records was in
the path of the fire and the force of
clerks that tried to save the docu

was at its height.
The gas storage-tank, in danger of
exploding at every moment, was
saved by a daring fight, the firemen
risking their lives time and again in
their work.

The Passion Play.
On reading the estimate of the
New York Times that bet wen forty
and fifty thousand people would
probably attend the presentation of
the great Passion Play In Oberam
mergau in 1910, we wrote Rev. Mr.
Pratt, who saw the play in 1800, and
asked him to tell The Times' readers
something about thlR religious
drama. This Mr. Pratt readily con
sented to do.

report to Prosecutor Mott, of the Es
sex county, N. J., In which he stated
that the stomach of Mrs. Ocey W. M.
Snead contained morphine at the
time of her death. Dr. Hicks was
chosen by Prosecutor Molt to make
a chemical analysis of the stomach
and his finding bears out the suspic
ions of Mr. Mott that the young wife
was drugged.
Snead, it was declared today, is an
gry at the accused women and will
take the stand for the state. For
some weeks he has been correspond
ing with County Prosecutor Mott.

will probably be the contention of
the defendants Mrs. - Caroline B
Martin, her mother, Mrs. Mary W.
Snead, her aunt and mother-in-law,
and Miss Virginia Wardlad, her
aunt, who alone was in the "house
of mystery" when the young woman
died.
The examination of Mrs. Ocey
Snead's stomach had not been com
pleted when the first report was filed,
but the analysis has gone so far that
taere is no doubt of the presence ot
morphine.
In connection with this, the testi
mony of Dr. Cornelius Love, ot
Brooklyn, who attended Ocey Knead
when she was there, some weeks be
fore her removal to East Orange,
was recalled today.

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Jan. 21 If the dem
ocrats do not change their program
before adjournment of the house late
this afternoon, they will hold another
caucus this evening to try fix up their
differences over the minority repre
sentation on the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigation committee, selected by
the house yesterday. At the caucus
held just after the house adjourned
yesterday the democrats instructed
Representative James, of Kentucky,
who had previously been selected for
service on the Ballinger-Pinchot
committee to accept, but in the mat
ter of Representative Lloyd's selec
tion by the house in place of Repre
sentative Rainey, : of Illinois, the
choice of the democratic caucus, no
conclusion was reached. It is this
question that will come np In the
caucus tonight.
Representative Lloyd, of Missouri,
before the house adjourned yester
day tendered his resignation as a
member of the investigating commit
tee, but did not have an opportunity
to make an explanation because of a
point of order raised by Representa
tive Tawney. of Minnesota. It is said
today that Mr. Lloyd's reason for not
wanting to serve, apart from the fact
that he was not a candidate for the
honor before the caucus, is that as
chairman of the democratic congres
sional committee his time is taken up
by that work and the choice of the
democrats as expressed by caucus ac
tion was Representative Rainey, of
Illinois.
Representative Rainey has accept
ed (lie action of the house and waiv
ed his claim. He wishes his party to
make anol her selection. It is be
lieved this will, be done. The demo
crats this evening may decide to is
