MONTREAL. Sept- II The Laurier
government and reciprocity .offered an
overwhelming defeat In th. Canadian
lections totUJT. - .
Vr . political landslide the Liberal
majority of 41 w. swept away and the
Conservative partr secured one of the
heaviest majorities, upward of SO. that
any Canadian party haa ever had.
Beven Cabinet Ministers who have
eerred with Premier Laurier were
amon the defeated candidates.
The Liberal lot ground In practl
eally eTery province of the dominion.
Where the Coneervatlvee won their ma
jorities were tremendous. Ontario, the
leading- province of Canada, declared
almost unanimously against the admin
istration and reciprocity.
Hardest to Be Premier.
B. L Ilorden. leader of the Conserva
tive party, will shortly become the
Prime Minister of Canada. He will be
supported In Parliament by a working
majority of members far more than am
ple for his purposes.
The government defeat means that
the Fleldtng-Knox reciprocity agree
ment, ratltled by the American Con
gress In extra session, will not be In
troduced when the Twelfth Parliament
assembles next month, and that re
vised basis of trade with the United
Plates, looking- to closer commercial re
lation?, will not be possible In the Im
mediate future.
The Conservative are committed to
a policy of trade expansion within the
empire and a closed door against the
I'nited States.
Mr Wilfrid Retiree.
Although re-elected In two constitu
encies In Quebec, the defeat of the
Liberal party also means the retirement
from public life of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
who for nearly two decades has di
rected the destinies of the dominion.
Several times during the bitter cam
paign which preceded today's election
the venerable premier said that defeat
of his party at the rolls meant the end
of his career: that he never could con
sent to lead minority' In opposition
to a Conservative government.
A Liberal membership of SI from
Quebec was cut down to 3. which,
taken alone, seriously threatened the
supremacy of the party. But It was
In Ontario that the Conservatives won
their greatest victories.
Anslha Talk r.STeeflve.
Spurred on by the cry that reciprocity
was the entering wedge for annexa
tion, the Conservatives swept nearly
everything before them. That province,
which In the last Parliament was rep
resented by J IJberals and 51 Con
servatives, will send a dclecatlon to
trie next composed of 11 IJberals and
7 Conservatives. A notable feature of
the defeat was the Opposition's cap
ture of two hitherto IJberal seats In
Faskatrhewan.

Wall Street Is In Vplx-aval.
NEW YOTTK. Sept SI. It was re
ported today on excellent authority that
the matter of dissolving and reorganis
ing the United States Steel Corpora
tion Is receiving earnest attention from
the Department of Justice and the legal
representatives of the so-called "Bil
lion dollar trust."
There Is ground also for the assert
tlon that the steel corporation Is mak
ing strenuous efforts to meet the de
mands of the Government, but because
of the complexity of the situation, lit
tle has been accomplished.
The work of disintegration and re
organisation of the largest Industrial
combination ever formed represents a
task of Titanic proportions. Many of
the subsidiaries which helped to make
up the corporation have lost virtually
all semblance of their original selves
and It Is considered almost Impossible
to restore their original equities.
Wasted Stock Replaced.
It Is a matter of common knowledge
that a large part of the $600,000,000
common stock originally represented
little more than bonuses or water. On
the other hand. It haa been admitted
by Government Investigators that much
of this Inflated value has been replaced
In rectnUtaars b moneys taken out of
earnings.
In fact, the report of the Department
of Commerce and Labor has virtually
fixed upon a value of 150 for the com
mon shares because of the millions put
Into new construction, betterment, de
preciation and so forth.
Quite spart from the legal obstacle
In the path of the corporation, trade
conditions are distinctly adverse- For
the last tftree months, new business
received by the company has been at
marked price concessions. This course
Is true also of the many independent

THEATER CONVICTS' HOST
Colorado Prisoners Cheer Hero in
Moving Picture Play.
DEWER, Colo., Sept. 21. Fifty-six
convicts from the Colorado State Peni
tentiary, among them several life
termers, this afternoon, sat in the gal
lery of a Denver theater and watched
a play In which the star portrayed a
character suggesting his own life to
each member of the grim group that
leaned In tense Interest over the gal
lery rail.
They saw the make-believe convict
In the cell with which they are so
tragically familiar, watched him at the
work that Is so fearfully real to them,
held their breath when the pardon, for
which, perhaps, more than one of them
Is hoping, opened the prison gates, and
burst Into thunders of applause when
they saw wealth and honor and happi
ness come to their hero.
The men are members of the convict
road gang constructing a 'highway to

on Departure for Oregon.
SAN DIEGO, CaL, Sept. 21. (Spe

for Portland, where he will face trial
In the Oregon court on charges of em
bezzlement. Wilde said he expected the
case to be long drawn out.
"I was dragged from home, wife.
babies and friends and all business
commitments, hastily taken out of the
state for spite work, political capital
and shakedown, on a false indictment,"
he declared, "only to secure my person
that civil service and other fake
charges could be set up.
"Thus was I taken from this state
under false representations, and my
happy home and business pleasures
snapped oft without warning, or an
attempted character-murder In the
golden state of California for what?
God only knows."

ALLEGED AFFINITY NAMED
Wife of Scion of Wealthy Oregon

Intolerable Division of Com

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. Pearl Gilman Alisky, a sis
ter of Mabelle Gilman Corey, wife of
the ex-president of the United States
Steel Corporation, yesterday filed suit
for divorce from Charles W. Allsky,
well known in theatrical circles In this
state and a son of C. A. Allsky, a
wealthy retired confectioner of Port
land. Mrs. Alisky's complaint cites both
cruelty and infidelity as grounds for
the desired separation, the name of her
husband's alleged affinity being given
as Theo Willis.
Allsky Is the owner of theaters In
Stocktou and Sacramento and is well
known in this city. His wife, like
her now famous sister, was an actress
before her marriage, which took plaow
In San Diego. October 14, 1907.
Conple Have No Children.
There are no children to the union,
but Mrs. Alisky alleges there Is com
munity property in the form of a large
sum of money which her husband ha3
on deposit In the Wells-Fargo-Nevada
National Bank. Incidentally she asked
the court to award her all of this com
munity property. Judge Mogan Is
sued an injunction tying up Alisky's
deposits In the Wells-Fargo-Nevada
Bank pending the trial of the suit.
According to the complaint, the
marital troubles of the couple began
shortly after their marriage. Her
husband, says Mrs. Alisky, wrote her
that he no longer had any love or af
fection for her and he hoped never to
see her again In all his life.
Married Life Unhappy.
Sho also charges him with calling
her offensive names and says his whole
course of conduct was carried out sole
ly with the Intent to make her marital
life Intolerable.
The complainant's references to Alis
ky's alleged affinity are brief. It states
simply that the defendant has on many
occasions been guilty of improper con
duct with "a certain female person,
whom plaintiff Is Informed and believes
to be one Theo Willis."
Mrs. Alisky asks that she be allowed
$1000 counsel fees and a sum of $250
a month as alimony. It is alleged
that Alisky's Income is $750 a month.

much younger than the Constable he
escaped. But he had left his machine

The Constable went down and sat in
it. A chauffeur then came up and de

Patrolman McReavy told the Constable
he couldn't hold the car without pa
pers of some kind and the Constable
flashed his summons for Blakeslee.
He was finally persuaded to leave the
car. "
