RECIPROCITY DEFEATED BY CANADIANS

Policy for Which President Taft Has Labored is Reacted across the Border. SIR WILFRID LAURIER FALLS WITH LIBERALS Opposition Completely Turns Tables Upon Him and Will Have 43 Majority in Parliament-«-Nation-alists Cut but Poor Figure—Ottawa Goes Wild with Joy,

Ottawa, Sept 22.—The Laurier government and reciprocity are beaten decisively. The opposition has completely turned the tables on Laurier, whose majority in the house of commons at dissolution was 43. The combined opposition majority will be probably 43. The figures in the twelfth parliament will probably be 132 Conservatives and Nationalists and 89 Liberals. The Nationalists cut a poor figure, electing only two. R. L. Borden, the next prime minister, will therefore have a big majority of his own kind of straight back of him and all the speculation about the ac-

SIR WILFRID LAURIER.

ti vities of the Nationalists in the next parliament goes for naught. The Liberals lost practically all along the line Even the west provides its disappointments. Returns from the west are incomplete, but returns from the east are practically complete. The line up in the next parliament by provinces, as indicated by latest reports, will be as follows: British Columbia —Five Conservatives, two Liberals. • Alberta —Two Conservatives; five Liberals? Saskatchewan —Three Conservatives, seven Liberals. Manitoba Seven Conservatives, three Liberals'. Ontario Seventy-four Conservatives; twelve Liberals. Quebe't —Twenty-four Conservatives, including two Nationalists, and fortyone Liberals. New Brunswick —Six Conservatives, seven Liberals. Nova Scotia —Nine Conservatives, nine Liberals. Prince Edward Island —Two Conservatives, two Liberals. Yukon, wita its one member, where the election is deferred to January and has been considered safely Liberal, will probably follow' the crowd. Eight ministers have been defeated. They are Fieldng and Paterson, authors of reciprocity agreement; Sir Frederick Borden, minister of militia; Graham, minister of railroads; King, minister of labor; Bureau, solicitor general; Fisher, minister of agriculture, and Templeman, minister of the interior. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was elected in Soulanges, having already been Chosen by acclamation in Quebec East. Ottawa is wild. The Conservatives won both Ottawa seats from the Liberals. After having been out in the cold for fifteen years they are in a delirium of joy. Cabinet making will be the favorite pastime for weeks to come. - No one is more surprised than the Tories themselves. The defeat ends Sir Wilfrid Laurier's career. He is in Quebec and there is much speculation here among his lieutenants as to what he will do. The concensus of opinion is that he will not assume the leadership of the opposition, but will retire to private life. He has said that when the time came for him’to retire from parliament he wrould like to have a place on the, Ottawa improvement commission.

the Laurier government in Canada, came to President Taft while he was attending a banquet here. Secretary Hilles vyanted to keep the returns from the president until he has made his speech, but Mr. Taft saw the telegrams pouring into the dining room to the newsp|rper correspondents, and called one of them to him. He was told that the defeat was practically a certainty. “I am very much disappointed," he said, “that the scattering returns which have reached here indicate that reciprocity has been defeated." R. L. Borden Is Elected. St John, N. 8., Sept. 22. —The latest reports from Halifax indicate that R. L. Borden, who will be the next prime minister, has been elected by 100 majority, but that his running mate has been defeated.

KILLED BY LEAKING GAS

Fatal Mishap in Big Cleveland Chemical Works. Three Men Are Dead, Two Almost Suffocated and Several Others Overcome by Noxious Fumes. Cleveland, 0., Sept. 22. —Three men were killed, two were almost suffocated and several others were overcome when gas leaked into a room at the Grasselli Chemical company’s plant, where they were employed. The two men who were overcome risked their lives to drag out the three others, but their efforts were in vain, as the three were dead before they could be taken to a hospital. The three victims, Joseph Waparenski, Paul Josefek and John Mazurek, were laborers employed in the ammonia room of the plant, which is one of the largest chemical works in the country. They were working near a large quantity of boiling vitriol, the gas from which was being conveyed! to another retort. In some manner the pipe burst and the gas spread into the room, the three men dropping to the floor. The five or six other men in the room saw them fall, but only two of these had the nerve to attempt a rescue.

WALSH NOT YET PAROLED

Government Attorneys Say Action Must Be Taken by Roads. A. ' Washington, Sept. 22. —The positive statement is authorized at the department of justice that John R. Walsh has not been granted a parole. That the prisoner will soon be given his liberty—probably soon after the .meeting of the board of parole next Tuesday—is the prediction of the officials of the department, but they insist no such action has vet been taken. The government attorneys say Walsh will be entitled to parole at the end of this mbnth. Before he can get this, however, he will have to petition the parole board for it, and his petition will have to be passed upon. No such petition has been presented and therefore no action could'have been taken.

OLD GLORY IS HAULED DOWN

Mayor Speer of Denver Issues the Order. ( —■ * i■■ . CITY ORDINANCE IS VIOLATED Authorities in Washington Are to Take Up Matter—ls Stars and Stripes Amenable to Regula* tion by Cities? Denver, Colo., Sept 22. Captain Hayes of the United States marine corps recruiting station has been compelled by Mayor Speer to haul down his Hags. The captain has been flying two of them from the second floor window of the block in which the recruiting station is located. This is a violation of a city ordinance and the mayor courteously called the attention of the captain to the matter, when it was reported to him. Captain Hayes replied that the United States flag was not amenable to city ordinances. The mayor then notified him that unless he hauled in his flags the police would do it and would then arrest and. arraign him in the police court. The captained hauled in the flags and appealed to Washington to deal witht he mayor. An interesting incident along the same line occurred at the First National bank when the headquarters of the department of the Colorado leased offices in the bank building. The bank flew “old glory” on a high staff and when the commanding general saw it he ordered it down, saying but one flag, and that of the headquarters, could fly from the builddng while occupied by the headquarters.

Woman at Niles, Mich., Does Not Yet Recognize His Claim. Niles, Mich., Sept. 22. —Only more puzzling circumstances resulted from a conference which Mrs. Estella Kimmel had with the man who represents himself to be George A. Kimmel, her son, who Mrs. Kimmel says died years ago. After carefully questioning the man the aged woman said she was as much in doubt as ever. The newcomer’s eyes, hands and facial expression were not only not like those of her son, but were radically different, she said. Yet, she could not account for many early incidents in Niles which he recounted.
