NEW PARLIAMENT CONVENES TODAY LONDON, Jan. 8.—Great Britain's new parliament convened today for a session which is expected to see the early downfall of the Tory government. Lady Terrington, wife of Baron Terrington, who was elected to commons on the liberal ticket, was the first of the eight women members to put in an appearance. Former premier H. H. Asquith, suffering from a chill, was unable to attend. There was a scramble for seats among the men, but Lady Terrington contented herself with a place in the back row. The program for the day was as follows: Reelection of Speaker James Whitley; speeches of campaign by Premier Stanley Baldwin, former premier Lloyd George and Ramsay Macdonald, leader of the labor party; brief adjournment to allow King George to confirm former president, to be read at dinners and political gatherings, resulted only in acknowledgments by his secretary. But now these requests are more and more receiving the personal attention of Mr. Wilson. One personal reply was received at Pittsburgh. Others will be read tonight at Jackson day dinners in other parts of the country. In his message to the Jackson day dinner at Pittsburgh, the former president indicated "he would be glad to take part" in the approaching campaign, provided that it has for its purpose the attainment of the ideals for which he fought. Those attending the Pittsburgh dinner, Mr. Wilson said, "are to be congratulated on representing the party to which must be entrusted the redemption of the nation from the degradation of purpose into which recent days it has been drawn. Mr. Wilson is a follower of current events, and the trend of public thought. He believes implicitly, according to those with whom he has talked recently, that the movement against his policies so apparent in the 1920 campaign has had its inevitable reaction and that the trend of public thought today is toward PLACENTIA. J. LACENTIA, Jan. 8. (Spl.)—Dan New is at his home here for a few days preparatory to moving his family to Banning. Mrs. H. P. Bender is suffering considerably from severe bruises received on Tuesday evening when she fell while turning on the light in the dining room at her home. She received several bruises that will take some time to heal. Mrs. Bender stepped on a chair to turn on a light and in some manner slipped. The chair lessened the fall, but she also struck the table, but luckily missed the heater which was burning nearby. Mr. Bender was in the house and came to her aid and at first they thought that her limb was fractured. An explosion in the air tank of the Mission garage in Placentia occurring at 10 p.m. Wednesday night damaged the building and machinery to the extent of $1000. J. Huebner has the garage leased from Mrs. Anna Lemke. He has been in Placentia but one month. There is enough insurance on the building and machinery to cover the loss. William Record, mechanic, was working at the lathe under the air tank at the time it exploded. He was knocked down but not injured. It is supposed that the safety valve, which shuts off the air when the 200 pound mark is reached, failed to work. The end of the tank flew out through the plate-glass window, completely shattering it. The tank flew in in opposite direction landing five feet from Huebner and a truck driver standing within the garage. The receiver shot through the east outside wall and penetrating the new wall was diverted and smashed out through the window cf S. E. Bendes' Shoe Shop, breaking the window panes.
