CAILLAUX IS ARRESTED. Former Prerater of Framer Charged With Treason. PARIS. Jap. 15 --Former Pro - miler Joseph Ca111ucx, who has been under Investigation by the authori- ties in connectlou with the German propaganda :a France, was placed under arrest this morning. When Police Commissary Priolet reached M. Milieux's apartment, the forme- Premier, who already had risen from bed. said. "My people would not believe that I would be ted. but 1 myself expected it from such a government as we have." Caillaux's apartment was searched, but without any results. Only the portfolio which Calllauz was carry- ing was seized. Clothes, linen. and blankets were sent to the prison trove Calllauz's apartment. The arrest of M. Caillauz was only decided on Sunday afternoon. The warrant was placed in Commissary Priblel's bands at 7 o'clock le the evening, and Afterwards a careful watch was maintained all night over Calllaur's house. The news of the arrest of Centime created a sensation. Unprecedentedly large numbers of the Paris afternoon newspapers containing the announce- ment of the t were sold, al- thougb the newsboys, who are pro- hibited by law from shouting out the news, were able only to display the headlines of the newspapers to pass- ersby. The Temps says the arrest of Call - tau: was due to documents recently produced against him before the In- vestigating judge. It says there also is a report concerning a document which soon may be published in the foreign press. This document is un- derstood to have placed Captain Bouchardon in the same position as when, on the receipt of American despatches, he decided to order the arrest of Bolo Pasha. HARMONY IN IRELAND. Convention Marks Epoch in irisb H (story, DUBLIN. Jan. 15. - The irlsh Home Rule convention will hold its thirty-first sitting to day. All the proceedings of the Grand Committee of Twenty are ,now before the con- vention and a definite. conclusive agreement should, ;1t Is believed, be ached. and Its announcement may expected almost at once. hether or not the convention sure do in bringing the Ulster Un- ionistinto an Irish Parliament. Irishm think the proceedings have accompl .bed a great good in bring - Ing toget r the Nationalists and Unionists • the South and West and determining he principles ,on which Irishmen of a 1 sections could come together In a rge scheme of auto- nomy. It 1■ well knowthat a substantial agreement has been reached by the representatives of Nationalist Ire- land and the Unionists outside Ul- ster, and Labor. Sir Mortice Plunkett, chairman of the convent)n, has pub- licly declared his belief th the work of the convention, howeve it ends, will mark an epoch In the h tory of the Home Rule question, an that any Government In future legis tion must profit by its labors. Tbere is a rumor of an impress majority report by the delegates o all creeds and polities outside of Ul- ster. The press of Belfast remains steadfast as ever In opaositlon- to any compromise with Home Rule. COUNTING SOLDIERS' VOTES Remit of Election 11'111 Be Knbwn About February 15. OTTAWA. Jan. 15. -'Abe alloca- tion of votes cast by soldiers and sailors In Canada at the general elec- tion to the constituencies to which they belong will occupy the special returning officers engaged In the work until February 1. Each ballot Is enclosed In an envelope bearing the name of the riding to which it Is to be applied. It is taken from the bag in which it came from tbe polls ing booth and placed in the box pro- vided for the riding named on tbe envelope. The actual counting of the ballots will take about nine days. The counting of votes cast overseas Is now going on In London and Paris, and the reaulf will be cabled to Canada. it Is believed, therefore, that the final result of the general election will be known about Feb- ruary 15. Their were some 40,000 ballots cast In Canada by soldiers and 'sail- ors. These have been sent to Ottawa In 206 bags. W. F. O'Connor, K.C., the general returning omcer, asserts that re- ports of names of Opposition candi- dates having been omitted from the official lists sent overseas are erron- e0us. Some voters, he says, may have seen incomplete newspaper lists of candidates and hake not con- sulted the omclal Ilse at the poll- ing placer. Million -dollar Fire.
