Hayes Fisher, the un- fonist candidate, 8 majority of 2,000 in this borqugh. In the last election the seat went to\a liberal by 600, Devonport, where the big navy lssue was predominant, wiped out the liberal majority of 1,500 and returned two union- ists by ‘600, Sir J. Jackson and Sir C. Kinloch Cooke. ~Sir Henry Norman, the Iberal journafist, who 1s well known in America and who recently was appointed assistant postmaster general, was beaten at Wolverhampton South by a small ma- jority. 1In order to retaln his place In the cabinet he will be nominated for another borough, Astor and Durand Beaten. Waldorf Astor and Sir H.

Attack on Chaneellor. The most exciting scenes of the campalgn octurred at Grimsby, where & menacing crowd ‘threatened David Lioyd George, chiancellor of the exchequer, compelling him to flee from & hall where he had been speaking, under police protection, much as he was driven from a pro-Boer meeting «t Bifmingham during the South African war, when he made his escape disguised in a policeman’s uniform, Part of the provocation for the hostility shown towards him was caused by the chancellor's unusual course in addressing the voters on polling day, which has never obtained before in England, and which 18 considered by many to be uncoustitutional The chancellor's speech iucluded a predic- tion of disaster to the German fleet It it fought the British. Referring to the in- | vineibility of the British navy, he de- clared: “It the German fleet In a moment of madness ever attacked Great Britain it would be at the bottom of the German ocean in a very few hours.” A big erowd walted outside the hall, and when the chancelior of the exchequer al peared raised shouts of ‘“Traitor!” “Pro Boer!"” The chancellor retreated within the bufld- Ing and a cordon of police was drawn up keep back the crowd. The chlef con- stable, with an escort of police, conducted | Mr. Lloyd-George out of the back door and the party retreated a along the rallroad, where a small station was used as a refuge. An automobile was telephoned for, and in the meantime the | chancellor busted himself In writing letters. When the motor arrived he drove Into town by a cireuitous route. noat to unionist, G. to Surp e at Grimsby. Grimsby furnished a great surprise, for it shifted 2,000 votes and a seat for the union- ist to the liberal column, T. E. Ewing de- feating Sir G. Doughty, one of the fore- most unionist orators. The streets in the center of London were almost impassable after the dinner hour from cheerful throngs swarming in from the suburbs to get the election returns. The newspaper offices on Fleet street were the popular magnets. Many screens were erected on street corners on which the re- sults were bulletined. Reports were read at the theaters and musle halls to big audiences, but compared with_election night in Ameriean cities the occasion was tame and subducd. A land- slide In either direction, bowever, would have provoked lively scenes and many tights. Voters Hauled to Polls. The polling during the day was note- worthy from the thousands of automobiles employed in the London districts to carry the voters to the polls. Unlonists, being the party of the rich, had by far the greater number of motors at thelr com- mand. They were decorated gaudily with flags and posters. Several of the members of the cabinet | spoke before their constituénts tonight. Promier Asquith, Forelgn Secretary Sir Edward Grey and Chancellor Lloyd-George devoted thelr spoeches mainly to upholding the government's management of the navy. Winston Spencer Churchill, president of the Board of Trade, at Dundee denounced “The Party of privilege and class." Richard Jebb, a vigorous tariff reform candidate, furnished one of the most inter- esting events of the day. He visited the headquarters of his rival to denounce charges against him. A fight followed and Jebb wi thrown into the street. Liberals Win at Manches MANCHESTER, Jan, 15.—Of the six dis- tricts In this city, five remained loyal to free trade, liberal and laber candidates Dbelng returned by large majorities, al- though these were somewhat smaller than In 1906, 3 The Sixth district was lost to the free traders through a trlangular fight, the unionist nominee being returned, although he recelved 1,000 votes less than the com- bined poll for the liberal and labor can- aidates. In the north division of Salford, W. P. Byles, liberal, won over his unionist oppo- nent, . Malcolm; G. Toulmin, liberal, was returned to Parliament from the Lan- cashler division of Bury, beating B.

URGED BY MEETING OF FRIENDS Trade Excursionists Retarn from Trip Throughout Western States— Swedish Home Prospering by Investments. P. J. Tralnor coneonted to file for the norwination for the office of mayor last night at a meeting held by thirty or more men of this city who have been most prom!- nent in politieal circles during past cam- paigns. Mr. Trainor was not present a the meeting untll a delegation consisting of H. C. Murphy, Lew Btter and J. B. Watkins was appointed to go after and bring him in. Previous to this the meeting organized by electing Senator L. C. Gibson chairman A motion was made by George Johnson that “it he the mense of this meeting that P. J. Trainor be requested to become a candidate for the office of mayor and that he have the hearty and undivided support of all present. In discussion of the motion nearly every man of the thirty or more present- spoke in favor of the proposition Speeches were made by Jay Laverty, 1. B Watkins, L. C. Gibson, W. P. Adkins, Fred Smith, George Johnson, Swan Larson, H C. Murphy, Tew Etter, John Urbaneki, George Roberts, J. C. Trouton, B. L Gustafson and many others. All speeches were of the same tenor, namely, that Mr. Trainor had the qualities which would get votes. Cognizance was taken of the fact that normally South Omaha s democratic by 600 majority and it is only when a man can be found who will be able to exceed the vote of his own party that there is hope for victory. This has been done in several campaigns in South Omaha. None of the speakers fafled to express the warmest friendship and re- spect for the announced ocandidate, Otto Leptin, but all declared It was their bellot Trainor had a better chance to win. Trainor Accepts. In the midst of this discussion P. J. Tr#nor was sent for, and arrived in time for the chalrman to state the question before the house with a_speech full of addi- tloral compliments to Mr. ‘Trainor, and put the motion by calling a rising vote. The vote was unanimous and Mr. Trainor made a short speech In acceptance of the request and promised to file for the office at the beginning of the week. He made a request that the men assembled see to it that a ®ood strong list of candidates for the other offices be induced to tile, This work the assembly agreed to under- take at an early date. The meeting held was Impromptu in character and most ot the number were seen last evening by the prime movers and invited to come In and express an opinion. Trade Excursionists Return. Twenty-two South Omaha stockmen and commission men returned Friday from a trip through the west in the interests of the South Omahs market. In the tour the Wyoming Wool Growers' assoclation at Cheyenne was visited. From that point the tour was extended to Utah where the National Wool Growers were in session at Ogden. Suncay, January 9, was spent at Salt Lake City. The early part of last week was spent at Denver at the American Natlonal Stock Breeders' association and the National Stock show. The trip was largely among friends of the South Omaha market and themes of Interest and good teeling were the point of discussion. The great cause of anxiety in the west this winter is the severity of the season and the deep snows over = large portion of the slieep and cattle ranges. The con- ditions wére worst in Wyoming, but far botter in Utah and the great basin country. Secretary A. F. Stryker of the Livestock exchange headed the South Omaha dele- gation and he declared the trip was likely to. bear more fruit in the Increased triendly relations in the west than. any previous excursion. Swedish Home Galning Favor. The Swedish Bullding association, an assoclation of the Swedish residents of Omaha and vicinity for the purpose of bullding a “Swedish Home," held its an- nual stockholders' meeting January 6.

OMAHA, MOND AY, JANUARY {y 1 1910, Patent May Not Be Patent if Not an Invention Willard Eddy Draws Distinotion in Talk to Bar Association—New Officers Named, President—Frank L. Secretary—Frederick R. Treasurer—Jacob L. Kaley. Executive Council-M. A. Hall, John A. Hyan, Charles E. Foster, C. G. MeDonald and Flenry Maxwell. These were elected officers of the Omaha Bar assoclation at its annual meeting held at the Commercial club rooms last night, attended by about fifty members of the Omaha bar and presided over by President Arthur Wakeley. The report of the treasurer showed the receipts during the year to have been $324.74, expenditures $162.45, leaving a balance on hand of $162.29. Members in good standing number forty-nine. The feature of the evening was an ad- dress by Willard Eddy upon the subject of “Patent Laws.” At the outset he said that while the trusts were a bad thing in their ay, and that it began to look as if their claws were to be somewhat clipped, there was one form of monopoly not thoroughly undefstood—the patent laws, a subject of Interest to every lawyer. “There Is a pat- ent issued to some Nebraskan for every working day of the year,” sald Mr. Eddy, “but one hundred times more than that number of patents are issued elsewhere throughout the country. It frequently occurs that great interests are involved in some patents, while many others are worth- less.” He spoke of the enormous value of some patents, notably the cotton gin, the reaper, and the telephone and teiegraph. All pat- ents, he held, were subject to more or less litigation, and clted as one instance an automobile patent, the record of litigation of which comprised thirty-six large octavo volumes. He then went Into the early his- tory of patents and patent laws, showing that the first formal patent law enacted in the United States was in 17%. He showed also that 6,000 practitioners were registered to practice before the United States patent office. He deprecated the red tape that is woven about all patent procedure. He showed the distinction between an inven- tion and a patent, the latter being the legal grant and right to recelve a benefit from an Invention. He told that a patent issued for a thing not an invention was void, and went into some length describing the real and legal meaning of an Invention. Thanks were extended to Mr. Eddy for his address, following which the meeting adjourned to enjoy a light luncheon pre- pared by the entertainment committee.
