JS^ IMPENDING
Special, fo Tl e Nugget l»y The Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 13—As a result of the bye elections in Lancaster
yesterday which resulted in the election of Labor Loader Henderson to
membership in the House of Commons, it is believed that a shake-up in the1
present cabinet is imminent.
All grades of politicians admit that ,tho election of Henderson is a!
severe blow to the coalition government and will probably result in the lull
ing of a general election in the near future.
in labor circles it is coiflended that cabinet reconstruction is already
long overdue in view of the fact that the coalition cabinet was created pri
marily as a war cabinet.
Another factor which inclines to the view that? a general upheaval
may soon occur in the government is that the coalition cabinet seems totally
unable to solve the Irish question. Tin* claim is also made in certain quar
ters that sentiment is running the coalition.

sp> • to the Nugget By the Associated I'ress.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13—Five fire alarms were turned in today from the
Aging plant of the Standard Oil Company located on Newton Creek, Long
Island, and resulted in the calling out or a large portion of the Brooklyn tire
forces to prevent a great conflagration.
Piovidentially each of the five fires were discovered before they had
attained great headway and were subdued in the majority of instances without
resulting in extensive damage.
The -plant, which covers a considerable acreage, is the center of a
small city the residents of which are mainly employees of the company. The
fires started in the residential sections in each instance and under circum
stances which load to the view that they were of incendiary origin and prob
ably intended to wipe out the great oil plant.
