HEAVY WEST WALES FAILURE. — ♦ BAD HOTEL AND MOTOR SPECULATION. Mr. William Rees, licensee of the Emlyn Arms Hotel, Kewoastle-Emlyn, and of the Biaok Lion Hotel, Lampeter, underwent ids public examination in bankruptcy at Carmar- then on Wednesday, before the deputy-regis- trar (Mr. Thomas Walters), the examination being conducted by the official receiver (Mr. II. w. Thomas).—Debtor, who attributed his failure to an action taken against him in the High Court, and through loss in a motor-car business, presented a statement giving his gross liabilities a* £ 5,651 18s. 6d., and his defi- ciency as £ 3,990 Os. 7d. He added that he used to keep the Bunch of Grapes Inn, Newcastle- Emlyn, which he took ov-er in 1891, without any capital. He went to the Emlyn Arms Hotel in 1899 with P,400 capital, and shortly afterwards borrowed JE500 from hie brother. He took over the Black Lion Hotel, Lampeter, in 1905 and engaged a lady to manue the busi- ness. The respective yearly rents vm>e C174 and £155 9s. 4d. He had run a service of motor- cars between Newcastle-Ecmlyn and Cardigan. The High Court aotion brought against him had been preferred by a Cardigan tradesman to recover £104 for repairs to a motor-omni- bus, detaiLs of which have been published in these columns. Debtor only seemed to become aware of his insolvency when he lost this action. His wife claimed furniture, and also put in a claim as owner of Sycamore House, Newcastle-Emlyn, as well as a house at inlandyfriog. Mr. D. T. George, solicitor, Newoastle-Emlyn, appeared for debtor, and there were several creditors present. Further questioned by the official receiver (Mr. H. W. Thomas), debtor said that he paid £ 1,000 for the stock and effects when he took over the Black Lion Hotel, Lampeter. He estimated that he lost about JS100 a year at the Black Lion, out he could not give it up when he found himself insolvent years ago because he held it under an unexpired leasfe He engaged eleven pereons at the hotel. The Official Receiver explained that a com- position of 7s. 6d. in the £ had been aooepted by the creditors. Mr. D. T. James, a creditor, strongly objected to the composition. Debtor, he said, would not have been advised to proceed with the High Court action if he had laid a true statement before his counsel. "He made a false statement, upon which counsel advised him to defend the action," said Mr. James. "If he had made a true statement, he would not have defended the action, and I would not have lost Z700, There is something radically wrong somewhere. Is it not a punishable offence for debtor to make a false statement and involve me in a loss of £ 700?" It was stated that the question was outside the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, and «sunillat*0n of debtor was provisionally ciosou.

He was born at Bl-unsdezi. Wiltshire, and came to uardiff about sixty years ago. He was sworn in as a constable some three years afterwards, amd the force at the time was so much in its infancy that for years he was the only sergeant in the service. Deceased in his official career was complimented on three occasions by the judge of aseize-once for capturing a burglar who had forced himself into three houses in Charles-street, and the sergeant, though without a staff, gave "Sikes" his quietus after a terrific struggle, in which Hornblow emerged with a nasty wound over the eye, inflicted by the desperado with his jemmy.

CARMARTHEN SCHOOLS. A LOSS OF 2D. IN THE 2 TO RATEPAYERS. At the monthly meeting of the Carmarthen Town Council the Mayor (Alderman Walter Lloyd) referred to the poor attendance at the schools which he had been told meant to the town a loss of between L200 and f,300 a year, which was equivalent to about a 2id. rate. He would like to see the education committee exercising more care over the attendance of children at school. Whose fault was it that the people were not summoned ? Mr. Walter Spurrell, J.P., as a member of the attendance committee, contended that the magistrates were too lenient. Recently a woman who had been reported on 27 previous occasions for not sending her children to school was given another trial. Mr. John Crossman, J.P., as a member of the education committee, said that the school non-attendance was partly due to the lack of sympathy shown to the attendance officer when he brought cases before the magis- trates. He had heard the officer say that it was no encouragement for hJm to summon people, because the sympathy of the 'bench seemed to be running away with their common sense. Mr. William Isaac pointed out that there were five magistrates present at that meeting. Mr. James Da vies, J.P.: Do I understand that the people do not appreciate the cheap education given to children? The Mayor: I don't think they do. Mr. Davies: Then the sooner the better we do away with the law. It was decided to draw the attention of the attendance committee to the matter. Messrs. L. D. Thomas. William Isaac, William Thomas, and Evan Jones were re-appointed as overseers for the borough

— "j INSANITARY DWELLINGS AT CWMTILLERY, The Lancaster Steam Coal Company, of Cwmtillery, were summoned at Abertillery on Wednesday at the instance of the urban district council for permitting certain nuisances to exist at 36 cottages known as Old Rows, East Side, Cwmtillery. Mr. H. A. Dolman, Abertillery, prosecuted, and Mr. W. J. Everett, Pontypool, defended. Mr. Everett contended that inasmuch as the district council had not adopted the Public Health Act of 19C7, the cage against the com- pany with regard to part of the alleged nuisance was bpund to fail. Then, again, the Act of 1875, under which the proceedings --eœ taken, enabled the council to themselves remedy the remaining part of the alleged nuisance and charge the company with the cost. The Bench considered, in the interest of both parties, that it was advisable to adjourn the case for a month to enable the district council to consider their legal position.

"RUINED HIS HOME." + MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A I BANKER. NEW YORK. Monday. Telegrams from Kansas City state that Mr. J. P. Cudahy, a well-known and wealthy packer, has been arrested in connection with a sensational affair whioh occurred at his home in the early hours of yesterday morn- ing. The charge against him is one of murderous assault upon Mr. J. F. Lillis, a. millionaire banker, whose recovery is said to be a matter of some uncertainty; but the magistrate before whom he was taken, in view of the statements made to him and of Mr. Cudahy's social position, has released him upon bail in the sum of L20. It is indicated by the police reports of the case that Mr. Cudahy, for his part, will bring allegations of a serious character against Mr. Lillis, and that he accuses him of "ruining his home." Mr. Cudahy, it is stated, arrived unex- pectedly at his residence by motor-car not long after midnight, and on entering the house found the banker there. The latter failed to explain his presence to his ques- tioner's satisfaction, whereupon, to quote the police statement, Mr. Cudahy, calling hi8 chauffeur to his aid, grappled with him, and, binding his arms and legs, got him down helpless on the floor. A terrible scene must have followed, for Mr. Lillis was afterwards found to have been cut about in a merciless fashion. Apparently, his captors had deliberately slashed him about the face and body with their knives. for he lost blood freely from a number of cross cuts. Even if he recovers, which, as before stated, is doubtful, he will be disfigured for the rest of his life.—Central News.

PRUDENTIAL CO.'S RECORD. The Prudential Assurance Company consti- tutes an assurance world of its own. In the whole history of British life assurance there is nothing to compare even remotely with the evolution of this great undertaking from small beginnings and its irresistible advance in popularity and importance year by year. The figures published by the company in their annual reports olaim a triumph of administrative efficiency and a perfect organisation, and indicate the attractive powers of the best kind of life cilice. In commenting upon the report for the year ending December 31, 19C9, we need not go very closely into the figures. These are given elsewhere, and to a great extent tell their tale plainly and effectively, but a docu- ment so remarkable as this 61st report of the Prudential Company cannot be put before our readers without some passing observa- tions. In the ordinary branch over 76,000 new policies were issued last year, assuring more than £ 7,000,000, the premium income was in- creased by X93,770, and reached a total of £ 4,710,107. The claims of the year were over £ 3,000,000. In the industrial branch the increase in premiums was nearly a quarter of a million, and the total income from this source was 17,171,770. The claims amounted to £ 2,877,578, including £ 176,401 bonus additions. In point of magnitude the Prudential claims to be without a rival in any part ot the world. The reversionary bonne just declared in the ordinary branch has been raised to £1 14s. per cent., and policy holders in the industrial branch will also receive "inClreased bonus allotments, whilst the superintendents and agents had distributed among thecm in cash last year 1465,WO The deputy-ehairman- (Mr. T. C. Dewey) at the shareholders' meeting recently said he had felt for some time that there was a numerous class to whom the payment of monthly would appeal, and to them the new tables were offered. The annual premiums already deriTed from these monthly tables exceeded 1153, and the sums assured amounted to a millions ster- ling. The scope of the company may be summarised in the following points:— (1) The total policies in force number upwards of 191 millions. (2) The aggregate sums assured amount to upwards of £ 233,000,OCX). (3) The total annual premium income ex- ceeds £ 12,140,000, while the accounts furtiier show that the collected income from all sources, including interest earned upon the investments, exceeds £ 14,500,000. (4) The combined assurance funds exceed £ 71,328,000. (5) The additional protection afforded by capital and reserve funds amount to £ 2,625,030. (6) The aggregate surplus at the end of I the year as shown by the valuation (subject to the transfer of £ 515,000 to investment reserves) was over three millions Notwithstanding the Adverse conditions to which the trade of the district has so long been subject the Cardiff area of the company's operations under the manage-, ment of Mr. J. Morcom and Mr, J. Randi?:l, aicwd by an able staff of assistants and agents, secured a larger amount of new bufine^s in both branches during 1939 than h been accomplished for several years pre- viously, and another successful year is anti- cipated by the Cardiff staff.

I "NOTHING BUT A SHUFFLEH." STRONG LANGUAGE IN LLANDILO BANKRUPTCY CASE. Evan Thomas, Greyhound Inn, Penybank, Llandilo, again underwent his public examination at Carmarthen Bankruptcy- court on Wednesday, before the registrar íMr. Thomas Walters). There was only one creditor, Messrs. D. Jones and Co., Old Bank. Llandilo, for £1,267 17s. 5d., of which C500 was partly secured. He attributed his failure to loss incurred in mineral water business, bank charges, and law costs. Mr. Powell, solicitor, Llandila, appeared for debtor, who was examined by Mr. T. G. Williams, solicitor, Llandilo, who appeared for the petitioning creditor. Debtor, who is president of the Llandilo Licensed Victuallers' Association, now denied, that he had paid £ 100 to his mother, as stated at the last hearing. Mr. Williams: So on the last occasion you said what was untrue? Mr. Powell: No; he made a misstatement. .Mr. Williams: I call it a lie. He is nothing but a shuffler. The Deputy-registrar said the debtor's answers were very unsatisfactory, and his examination was again, adjourned for further particulars. SEQUEL TO LLANDYSSUL BREACH OF PROMISE. Miss Mary Ann Rees, who ha.d kept the Union Inn, Llandyssul, filed her petition because she could not meet the costs in a breach of promise action which her sister, Frances Rees, brought against Dr. Tom Evans, of that town, at the Carmarthen Assizes. Debtor also alleged that her inability to pay her gross liabilities ( £ 928 13?. 7d) was also due to shortness of capital and the heavy liabilities which she assumed when she took over the business from her father towards the end of 1903. Her examination was provisionally closed. GLAMORGAN: MR. W. J. PERCY PLAYER. Breconshire: Captain, J J. WATKLNS. [Photo, Elliott and Fry. Monmouthshire: Mr. ISAAC BUTLER, J.P. j [Photo, J.

NEW THEATRE CARDIFF. RETURN VISITWOF A WHITE MAN." A return visit of that truly great American play, A White Man," by Edwin Milton Royle, to the New Theatre next week will surely be welcomed by all theatre-goers. Mr. Herhart Sleath, who also controls the suo- cessful production of A Woman in the Case," is sending a most excellent company of forty English and American artistes, largely drawn fro-m the c,astlof the original English production at the Lyric a.nd New Theatres, London. Special attention is given to the scenic parts of the play, and adds much to the realism, and the costumes and accoutre- ments are the real thing, and not the usual doubtful output of the theatrical costumier. Though a drama,, there is an absolute absence of the conventional characteristics generally associated with that name, and instead A White Man" presents a well- thought-out and exceedingly interesting story. The production is under the personal direction of Mr. Sleath, who has personally selected and rehearsed the company.

Cwynir hefyd i ieuenctyd ddiorseddu'r bregeth, a bod oedfa gyran yn cael ei threulio i g>anu emynau. Wei, ychydig o rym sydd yn y gwyn hon, oblegid rhywbeth yn debyg yw pethau yn y dyddiau gauafol hyn; yn wir, cyn i'r Diwygiad dori allan ac wedi iddo gilio, fel yn y dyddiau hyn, oanu ydoedd tri chwarter bywyd llawer eglwys, ac yr oedd yn rhaid hyd yn oed i'r bregeth yr adeg hono, fel heddyw, fod yn dda-rostyngedig i wyr y gan." Rhaid i'r bregeith a phobpeth arall heddyw fynd wrth ffurf a rheol, a rhaid cyflawni pob- peth o fewn amser rhag-osodedig, am fod y cor nen'r pwyllgor yn ysu am fynd ymlaen a'u gorchwylion; ac fel moddion i dynu min pregeth nu i droi difrifoldeb meddwl y greohwen buasain anhawdd taro ar ei hafal. Ac eto owynir fod y Diwygiad wedi diorseddu'r bregeth dros dymhor, tora y gadewir yn ddisylw yr hyn wna gaethwas o'r pregethwr ac a wna ei bregeth yn ddifudd. Pe na buasai'r Diwygiad wedi gwneud dim ond dangos i'r byd y gall yr Eglwys fyw ar ei had- noddau ei hun am dymhor ni fuasai yn hollol ddifudd, a'ctymwynas a chrefydd, ar lawer ystyr, fuasai dysgu gwers gyffelyb heddyw. Ond a oes galw am Ddiwygiad a chroesaw i'r Diwygiwr ? Y mae un peth yn sicr—buasai bywyd yr Eglwys yn elwa llawer oddiwrthio, ac hyd yn oed collai ami beth sydd yn denu ei bryd yn ormodol heddyw buasai ei hoedl yn fwy diogel a llewyrch ei llus- ern yn cyrhaedd oilfachau sydd yn dys- gwyl iddi roddi prawf o'i chrediniaeth yn yr hyn broffesa. BETH AM GOLEGAU CYMRU? Pan fo'r pleidiau gwleidyddol bron yn gyfartal yw'r adeg fwyaf cyfaddas yn fynych iawn i ofyn i'r Llywodraeth am gydnabyddiaeth, ac y mae'n amlwg fod ein cymydogion y Saeson yn ymwybodol o'r ffaith, a'u bod hefyd yn benderfynol o wneud y defnydd goreu o honi. Yr wythnos ddiweddaf bu dirprwyaeth gref ar ran y colegau Seisnig ar ymweliad a Changhellydd y Trysorlys, a gwnaethant gais hollol wyneb-agored, heb fradychu un math o yswildod, am ychwaneg o arian c goffrau'r Trysorlys tuag at ysgafnhau beichiau'r sefydliadau addysgol yn Lloegr. I'r sawl sy'n meddwl mwy am fuddiaJLnau plaid neu'n hyderu yn ormodol ar haelfrydedd dosbarth o wleid- yddwyr, ymddengys cynllun y ddirprwy- aeth hon braidd yn feiddgar, neu, o'r oohr arall, yn angharedig; ond i'r cyfar- wydd a'r sawl wyr am y dyrus lwybrau sy'n arwain i'r Trysorlys y mae'n gyn- llun hollol ymarferol. Er fod coffrau'r Trysorlys yn wacach heddyw nag y buont er's blynyddau, a nemor olwg ar hyn o bryd am fodd i'w llanw. yr oedd atebiad y Canghellydd ymhell o tod yn un digalon, ac awgrymodd y priodoldeb i'r ddirprwy- aeth ffurfio pwyllgor bychan i ddadrys gwahanol fanyjion a rhoddi iddi wybod- aeth fwy pendant am y modd y dos- berthid yr arian a geisient. Cynllun cvffelyb, fel y gwyddis, fabwysiadwyd pan wnaeth Cymru ei chais dro yn ol, ao ystyrir fod atebiad y Canghellydd yng ngoleu'r ffaith hon yn un tra boddhaol. Cydnebydd pawb yn ddiwahaniaeth erbyn hyn fod gan y celogeu hawliau arbenig ar nawddogaeth y Trysorlys, ac nad yw'r sawl a'u gedy yn ddiymgeledd yn effro i fuddiannau uchaf yr Ymherodraeth; a gwnaefth y ddirprwyaeth Seisnig ddefn- ydd deheuig o'r ddadl hon. Ond beth am golegau Cymru, tybed? Y mae'n wir iddynt dderbyn rhyw gymaint o gydna- byddiaeth yn ddiweddar o law'r awdur- dodau, ond eto y maent ym mhell o fod yn gyfartal a cholegau'n cymydogion parthed arian o'r Trysorlys, a chyfyng ar y goreu yw cylch nawddogwyr ein colegau ni, tra mae colegau'n cymydog- ion yn wrthrychau edmygedd pendefigion y wlad gyfoethocaf yn y byd. Gwerin ddarllengar fu asgwrn cefn ein sefydl- iadau addysgol ni o'r cyohwyn, ond cyf- oethogion fu cefnogwyr eiddo'n cymydog" ion; ac eto gofynant am ychwaneg 0 gefnogaeth o'r Trysorlys. Rhwydd hynt iddynt; ond gwybydded yr awdurdod nad yw Cymru am foddloni ar gyfran 1301 na hwythau, a'n bod yn dechreu dihuno i'r ffaith nad yw'n un rhinwedd ynoDl gario beichiau'r Trysorlys. COLLED YR EGLWYS SEFYDLEDlG- Ym marwolaeth yr Archddiaoon David Evans, Llanelwy, yr hyn a gymerodd 14t yr wythnos ddiweddaf, cyll yr Eglwys ydledig un o'i haddurniadau penaf wlad yn gyffredinol gymeriad hvnod ddi- wenwyn a eharuaidd.

Penodwyd ef yn Archddiacon yJ1 1897, ac ychydig lanwodd y swydd gyč1& mwy o urddas a manylder. Yr oedd yø bregethwr campus yn Gymraeg, a? yn llenor a bardd hefyd o gryn (n.

GRAPHOPHONE NOTES. NEW DISCS. Continuing our notes on the Columbia pany's March issue of records, we find pleasing and varied selections which a 8 worthy of a place in the collection of t talking-machine owner. Wa.gner's great opera, The stands high in the estimation of all milSl. lovers, and the Prize Song," which in the last act, is universally conceded to outside the range of critical praise. It p ically stands alone—the masterpiece of cpera. The Prize Song is, of course, the used by Walther in the contest among singers of Nuremberg—a kind of eisteddfo*' which gains him the hand of Eva, heroine. The record of this piece is by Prince's Orchestra, and is full and balanced. A dear old song is "Hands o' Dee," and}10 is well rendered by Mr. Edgar Ooyle, invests it with a wondrous charm and IoV1}10 sympathy that will surprise even those I think they know him well. f Herr Kandt is well known in Sputh W^ in fact, he and his band are now fulfilling engagement in Cardiff Park-hall—a,nd*\j waltz, A Dream of Cleopatra," is inreS^ with a peculiar local interest thereby._ 0 is the day of waltzes, and this record is °jt) to make one's feet tingle in a manner irresistible. One of the driest and quaintest of °°^ songs sung lately is For Months and Q( and Months." Remine»cent in its "John Willie, coom on," it goes well j reason of its dry humour. Hear it, you will say so. » tjj# In our notes on the records by Majesty's Scots Guards Band for Columbia Company we omited an impor^^ set—Peer Gynt Suites 1 to 4, a performa f_ of an extraordinarily powerful chara'O*^ "Morning," "The Death of Ase," Dance," and Dance of the Imps," the of the four suites, portray the most 'Va'}Ø' of music, and the name of the CuitØ Ibrated band making the records is enough to recommend them. We undeitøJ this is the only performance of these .10 by the Scots Guards on records. a, Quite of another class are A Fallen ^4 recitation and My Old Dutch" coster ^0 recorded by Mr. Arthur Leslie, who t' remembered as the eternal Same smoker in the Cardiff New Theatre mime. Mr. Leslie's virile rendering Is 1 pathos and drama, most intense.
