The Studio Mystery. I REPORTED NEW DEVELOPMENT. I Great activity is still being displayed by Scotland Yard in connection with the studio crime. Yesterday they were engaged in an effort to discover a gentleman believed to reside in Hammersmith, who exchanged remarks with a. policeman at Victoria Gate, Hyde Park, about five minutes past twelve on the night of the murder. The constable, it is said, allowed a Horse Guardsman to pass through the gate at the eoldier's request. If this statement be con- firmed the detectives have good ground for the belief that a man could scale the wall of the barracks and get to his quarters with- out reporting himself. The statement, however, presents features which make it not altogether acceptable. It 'is well-nigh impossible for a man to "break Into barracks" without being seen. The Vail is not high, and though it has a rail on top would not offer any difficulty to a. climber, but, as a member of many years' Bervice in the regiment told a Daily News representative last night, the man would meet sentries ere reaching his quarters, and the probability of his getting there unnoticed Was as remote as I am likely to command 'the Guards." UNRAVELLED MYSTERIES. I The Berlin Lokalanzeiger," discussing the ftudio murder in London, sharply criticises the English police, and declares that the inability of the authorities to throw any light on the mystery has done much to shaire public confidence in the efficiency of the London detectives. Many other recent events, it adds, have also contributed to shake public confidence in the efficiency, of the police. The perpetrators of sensational capital crimes during the last few months remain undiscovered. Nobody knows who murdered Miss Money in the Merstha.m Tunnel or Elizabeth Schriefer in Clapha-m Park-road. In both cases the police advanced the theory of suicide, which was obviously incompatible with the facte revealed at the inquestfi. The journal holds that the police pLayed la discreditable part in the Wadhumt murder case by throwing suspicion on an innocent workwon, Jamea Stevens. The police have also failed to unravel the mystery of the four great jewel robberies perpe-rated last year at London railway stations. Altogether the detectives have been unable to discover the perpetrators of sixteen recent murders.

Fell Upon a Scythe. I WHITCHURCH BOY INJURED. <" little boy named George Simmons, of JRThitchurch, has been detained in Cardiff Infirmary, suffering from injuries sustained in a fall on a scythe. George, who is only six years old, received a severe wound in the abdomen, and, despite an operation which was performed, he is in a critical Otate.

A little boy, named John Mogg, son of a collier, of 40, High-street, Mountain Ash, was missing from his hcme since nine o'clock yes- terday morning until this morning. The boy, who was twelve years of age. had been playing in the street, when all at once he dis- appeared, and no trace of him could be found. Information was given to the police, and search parties turned out, but after Searching all night failed to find him until this morning, when he was found at Pentre.

Sir E. Clarke Retires. I ANOTHER CITY OF LONDON SURPRISE I Sir Edward Clarke has applied for the 'Chiltern Hundreds, and has, consequently, Vacated his seat for the City of London. Sir ^Edward has addressed the following letter ito the liverymen and other electors of the City of london:- Gentlemen,—I regret to have to inform you that I have taken the necessary steps to vacate the seat to which you did me the great honour of electing me by an unprece- dented vote in January last. Nothing could have induced me to take this course in the present circumstances but the fact that I am advised by the best medical authorities that I can only continue my political career at the risk of an early and serious failure of mental or physical health. I do not think tha-t either the gratification of personal ambition or the uncertain hope of doing Public service entitles me to disregard such a warming, and I have, therefore, come to the reluctant, but definite, determination to retire altogether from the arena of politics. "You will never find a representative more sincerely devoted than I am to the interests of the City of London, but I trust you will And one who will be able more effectively to represent those interests in the present House of Commons. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your grateful and obedient servant, (Signed) EDWARD CLARKE. I Royal Courte of Justice, Strand, June 7, 1906." MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE I A meeting of the executive committee of tie City of London Conservative Association fras held this morning under the presidency tf Sir John Pules ton. There was a large vttendance of members. At the termination M the meeting, which lasted a-bont an hour and a half, it was officially stated that no "deoision had been come to as to the adop- tion of a candidate. The committee decided to accept Sir Edward Clarke's resignation, and to ask the general meeting of members this afternoon to give them power to select ft candidate to contest the vacancy. The writ for the City will not be moved in the House until Monday. It is understood that amongst the names which h-ave been under discussion this morning is that of Mr. A. C. Cole, a director of the Bank of lin gland. Alderman Sir Alfred Newton, who, when fiord Mayor of London, raised the City 'Imperial Volunteers, is mentioned as an illdernia-aic candidate for the City.

J61,800 Per Family I COST OF SETTLING SOUTH AFRICA. Supply was the business of the House of Commons to-day, and with Mr. Emmott in the chair, the House, in Committee, pro-, ceeded to consider the vote which included the salary of the Colonial Secretary. Sir J. Dickson Poynder raised the question of British land settlement in South Africa, and pressed the Government to pursue a vigorous policy in consolidating and develop- ing British territory. A well considered and adequate scheme of land settlement would do much to solve economic problems, and would relieve the racial difficulty, and he com- plained that the Colonial Office had appeared of set purpose to avoid the trouble and responsibility of undertaking this work. At present British emigration was at a stand- still, and many Boers were so dissatisfied with the existing conditions that they were emigrating from the Tra/nsvaaal into Ger- man territory. Sir Gilbert Parker warned the Government against leaving the question of land settle- ment undefined. When the new constitution was granted it was possible to impose con- ditions which would avoid future dangers. The Government was strong, and it should press for the payment of the ..L Ten Millions InstalmentI uy LLif3 i-ratisvaai, or, li necessary, with them for five millions, and also armuge that a portion of the 20,000 square miles of Crown land in the Transvaal should be handed over with the millions obtained to an independent land commission, who would undertake the work of settling white British subjects on the land. Mr. Winston Churchill agreed that a large white agricultural population in the Trans- vaal would be desirable, both from the economic and racial points of view. It wae found that the British settler got on very well with his Boer neighbours. The Govern- ment could not be indifferent to the prospect of land settlement, but they were bound to take stock of the difficulties. S-etrtlers would not face the hardships and perils which the pioneere bore in former days, and settle- ment cost more in South Africa.. Up to the present 1,300 families had been settled, at a. cost of £ 2,400,000, or at the rate of LI,800 per family. „ Mr. Arnold Forster said the country bad arrived at a 4ronelusioil as to the insincerity of the Government on this question. Chinese labour was a dead issue. The small number present proved Vh-aot- A Ministerialist: T'hera are oll,ly six on your side; the resit are playing golf. Mr. Arnold Forster: We think it better to play golf than discuss a dead issue- (Laughter.)

A Horrible Story. I TERRIBLE CHARGE AGAINST AN I EX-PENTRE COLLIER. A story terrible in its details was told to the Cardiff magistrates to-day by Mr. George David (Mofsrs. George David and Evans) in a case in which George Elliott, 47, a. collier, late of Pentre, was charged on a warrant with a certain offence. Mr. David eaid there was a, further charge of attempting to commit a similar offence on another occa- sion. Prisoner and his wife were living apart. Some time ago—the particular time was not material—his girl Elsie Maud, who had been living with her mother, was taken by prisoner into his home. At that time the parties were living at Merthyr. Prisoner on last Boxing Day brought the child to Car- diff. Prisoner went to the Gordon Coffee Tavern about five o'clock, and paid for a room for himself and the child. About half- past nine they came in and proceeded to the bedroom which ha.d been allotted to them. They were seen to come from it, and that there were signs of occupation by two persons. The next day prisoner was questioned by a woman. The girl subsequently went to service. The suspicion of her mistress having been aroused, she was sent home, and examined by Dr. Ward, who would tell them of her condition. The girl would tell them what took place in conver- sation when she was alone with her father. The latter, evidently seeing the position in which she was placed, tried to persuade the child, having a very strong influence over her, to lay the blame on somebody else. had lodged at the house. The matter came to the knowledge of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren investigations were set on foot, and it was found that the charge, so far as the young man was concerned, was not true, a,nd the girl herself would tell them it was not true, and that the reason was because she had been persuaded by her father. Coming to the second charge, Mr. David said that on a subsequent occasion, when the girl was sleeping with Mrs. Williams (the landlady), the girl stayed in bed after the woman bad gone down, and on that Sunday morning prisoner, who had been sleeping with Fudge, went to the room where his daughter was. Fudge heard the girl call out, and made a communication to the people of the house. I THE EVIDENCE. I Inspector John Thomas, National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children at Pontypridd, was in charge of the case, assisted by Inspector New, National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Cardiff. Mr. Harold Lloyd was for the dfence. The first witness was the child's mother, Mrs. Eleanor Annie Elliott, of Oilfynydd- road, Pontyprdidd, who produced the cer- tifica/te of the girl's birth at Bedminster on October 6, 1891. She and her husband were now living apart. The girl, who was dressed in black, gave evidence fully, and was examined minutely. She said that latterly she had been in the workhou&e at Merthyr. When they came to Cardiff and were outside the coffee tavern her father said there were two beds in the room he had taken. Finding only one, she said, "I thought you had taken two bed- rooms?" and he replied that he had not, as he could not afford it. Witness also gave evidence in connection with the second charge, and repeated certain conversation with her father, in which he advised her "to stick by John Fudge," or she would "finish herself in the court"; also, "Don't say what has happened, or there will be awful trouble." Mr. Harold Lloyd cross-examined the girl at great length. Dr. Ward, emdical officer of Merthyr Union, eaid he examined the girl on May 27, and found a certain condition. Winifride Pogler, of Atlas-road, an attendant at the Gordon Temperance Hotel, said she booked the room for prisoner, who said it was for himself and his daughter, Who accompanied him. She didn't see any harm in it. Theresa Kinsey, Clare-road, waitress, gave similar evidence, as did Emily Matthews, widow, employed about the place as a cln. Cl John Fudge, collier. Yst, said he had lodged in the house about nine monthe. Elliott was there when he went, and they occupied the same room. Witness described what happened in the bedroom on Sunday morning shortly after Christmas, when prisoner, without dressing, got out of bed and went into the girl's bedroom. In three or four minutes the girl cried out, and in two minutes prisoner returned. The same day he made a statement to Afro. Davies. Mrs. Ann Davies, wife of Thomas Davies, collier, Ystrad, gave evidence of the com- munication. I Arrested at Merthyr.

CHURCH BAZAAR AT SKEWEN. A four-days' bazaar was opened on Thurs- day in connection with the Church at Skewen. It had been announced that tb. Lord Mayor of Cardiff would open the bazaar on the first day, but he was unavoid- ably absent, and the opening ceremony was performed by Mr. J. H. Moore. The pro- ceeds were in aid of St. Mary's Church, recently erected at Skewen, at a cost of £ 1)700. Within two years the whole of the debt has been paid off, with the exception of £ 500, which it is hoped the profit made on the bazaar will clear. The excellent condi- tion of the Church at Skewen is due to the untiring activity of the vicar (the Rev. T. C. Phillips), who, with the loyal assistance of the Churchworkers. has been responsible for the great progress made.

EBBW VALE INSURANCE CLAIM I At Ebbw Vale Police-court on Thursday I the Royal Co-operative Societv, Birmingham, was summoned by Annie Basbam, a married woman, Ebbw Vale, who claimed E18 16s. under an insurance policy affected on the life of her deceased mother. A fortnight ago the case was adjourned for the society to produce their books, as it was denied that any policy had been taken out. Mr. T. Hughes, Ebbw Vale. who appeared for the plaintiff, said that terms had been arranged during the adjournment, and the company had agreed to meet the claim. The case was adjourned to allow this to be done.

Man's Economic Value, I INTERESTING THEORY PROPOUNDED In a paper read before the American Medi- cal Association, Dr. Holt, of Portland, M ?d*, who is a great authority on physical econo- mics, gave his estimate of man's worth in money, compiled from American statistics, Dr. Holt showed (says the Daily Tele- graph ") that at ten years of age, on a 3J per cent. discount basis, a boy was worth X520, at fifteen £ 352, and at 25 £ 1,087. From that time on in the case of a labourer a man's value decreases, until at 70 he la worth only X3 9s., while at 80 he is a poei- tive drawback to the community to the extent of £ 174 10s. A professional man of 25 has an economic value of zC5,179, and he reaches his highest value, statistically speak- ing, at 40, when he is worth £ 5,870. To this extent, it is argued. Professor Osier's theory regarding the age 1 of 40 is somewhat substantiated, if we agree with Dr. Holt.

Big Colliery Deal I GLYN-NEATH MAN'S PURCHASE IN I AMERICA. One of the largest deals in the purchase of collieries and tracts of coal lands has been negotiated by Messrs. Jenkin Jones and Isaac T. Mann, extensive coal operators in the Pocahontas coal region. The amount paid will be over 8,000,000dols. Mr. Jenkin Jones is a native of Glyn-Neath, where he has two brothers at present. He was a cousin to the late bard Hywel Cynon, of Aberdare.

Mr. Jones spends his winters on his planta.tion. t Florida, and takes his summer trip to his native Wales. He is one of Nature's gentle- men, and is an apt Welsh poet. His partner, Mr. Isaac T. Mann, is an Englishman. Mr. Jones when in Wales and after he emigrated to the United States worked as a collier.

ALLEGED BRUTALITY TO A MOTHER Apparently in pa.in, and plainly in great mental distress, Mrs. Catherine Lock. a frail- looking woman from Canton, entered the witness-box at Cardiff Polioe-oourt to-day in support of the charge against her son Wil- liam, aged 25, of assaulting her on May 21. Compllaiuantsaid that between nine and ten on the night in question she was in the kitchen when defendant knocked her down, and hit her under the ear with his fist. She did not wish to punish her eon, but only wanted him to clear out and contribute regu- larly to her maintenance, he being her chief support. The case was adjourned for three months to enable the parties to come to terms.

SALVAGE OPERATIONS. I According to information received at Pem- brolte Dockyard on Thursday evening the reports which have appeared in some journals, by which the battleship Montagu is represented as brc-sking up, are ground- less exaggerations. The ship has, of course, suffered considerable damage, but the main portions of her structure remain intact, and little doufbt is officially entertained as to the ultimate success of the salvage operations, should reasonably fair weather continue I

World's Richest Man. I MR. ROCKEFELLER PLAYS SHUFFLE I BOARD. Mr. John D. Rockefeller's journey across the Atlantic is described in the Daily Express to-day. Mr. Rockefeller arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday, and went on to Cherbourg. The special correspondent, in the course of a pen picture of Mr. Rockefeller, says: —" The chief characteristic of this world's richest man is his expression of shrewdness. His face is wrinkled and weather- beaten, and around the small, deep-set blue eyes are numberless little lines. His jaw is long and determined, and his nose unusually long. But his hands are his most remark- able characteristic. They are large, broad, and knotted, with ridged nails. They arc strong, determined hands, and Mr. Rocke- feller has a habit of nervonsly clasping and unclasping them which makes one thankful that he has never turned his attention to garrotting. I The characteristics of the man were app,m-rent during the shuffleboarding on the voyage. He played with the keenest interest j and concentration, at the same time keeping up a running fire of backwoods humour.' For example, he stood up once flourishing the shuffle rake, and said: The man behind the gun.' And another time he said: The man with the hoe! Watch me hoe the other man out" Among the passengers is a Kansas City man, to whom Mr. Rockefeller took a great fancy, calling him Kansas City.' This man umpired one celebrated shuffleboard game, which Mr. Rockefeller lost after strenuous efforts to win. Mr. Rocke- feller ruefully felt in his pockets, like a man ,utt,orly 'broke, 'Kansas City' said, slyly: Can I lend you a little money, Mr. Rocke- feller?' The latter replied, quizzically: 'Thanks! I think I can manage,' 'Kansas City. Then he laughed heartily, as though amused at the idea of his borrowing from anyone. Mr. Rockefeller neither drinks nor smokes, but he chews gum. All day long he is roiling the cud of this American delicacy."

Tenby Burglary Story POLICEMAN'S INTERESTING FOOT- PRINT CLUE. At Tenby on Thursday Thomas George Rogers, of Waters Hill, East Wil- liamston, was brought up on remand cha.rged with feloniously entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Robert Barlow, Hey- wood Cottage, Tenby, with intent to oommit a felony on the morning of Sunday, May 27. Mr. G. Lort Stokes, solicitor, appeared to prosecute. At the previous hearing Mr. Barlow gave evidence that he was awakened by his wife shortly before three o'clock in the morning, she having hea-rd noises in the room. On making an examination. Mr. Barlow found the blind of the window drawn up and the sash unfastened, while a ladder was stand- ing against the wall below the window. Nothing was missing from the houee. Mr. Barlow thought that he saw a man's figure near a shrubbery in the grounds. Police-sergeant Thomas, Tenby, stated that he found footprints on a flower-bed in the grounds. He afterwards took plaster casts of a right bootprint, which had no heel plate, and of a, left bootprint, which had a horse-Shoe shaped plate attached. On the I evening of the same day he examined foot- prints in the garden of Rose Cottage, New Hedges, near Tenby. The heel of the right boot that made those prints had no plate, while the left boot had a plate. On May 29 he arrested Rogers at his house at East Williamston, and found a pair of boots, which the prisoner admitted to be his, the left boot only having a plate. The boots corresponded exactly with the casts of the footprints at Heywood Cottage and New Hedges. Evidence was given that the prisoner was seen in Tenby by the police at 11.30 on the night of May 26, and the following morning at 3.30 o'clock he was met on the road about three-quarters of a mile from the scene of the attempted burglary by a farmer named Benjamin Lawrence. Lawrence denied that he was drunk, or that the prisoner pulled him cut of the ditch by the roadside and helped him home. It was further stated that about four o'clock in the morning Rogers entered the garden of Rose Cottage, New Hedges, and Mrs. Evans went a.fter him with a poker, and ordered him out of the garden. He then went into the road, and Mrs. Evans went into the house to fetch a revolver. Rogers then cleared off. The prisoner objected to this evidence, gs it would prejudice his case. When formally charged Rogers said he was not in Heywood-lane that morning. He pleaded "Not guilty," and reserved his defence. Rogers was committed for trial at the Pembrokeshire Quarter Sessions. The magis- trates stated that bail could not be allowed.

A Risky Occupation FURNACEMAN KILLED AT DOWLAIS- I CARDIFF WORKS. At the Town-hall. Cardiff, on Thursday Mr. E. B. Reece held an inquiry as to the death of John Foley, aged 36, who died from burns sustained by the blowing off of the top of a furnace at the Dowlais Works. Mr. Lewis Morgan (solicitor) was for the relatives, and Mr. Wolfe, his Majesty's inspector of factories, was also in attendance. Deceased was engaged as a top filler," and after the accident on May 31 was taken to the infirmary, where he died on Monday. Mr. R. K. Reese (manager of the works; explained the circumstances in detail. Deceased was in charge at the top of one of the blast furnaces. and he had with him another man, named Osborne. On the morning in question the pair were tipping coke, lime, and ore into the hopper at the top of the furnace—75ft. from the ground. They reached their position by a hoist, and they could also do so by ladders. The hopper and surrounding plates were thrown out of place, and a quantity of coke, lime, and ore was emitted. This might have been caused by an explosion of gas inside the furnace. Scientists were not agreed as to whether these accidents could accurately be described as explosions, and such accidents, he explained, were not uncommon. Witness had himself nearly lost his own life through them twice. When the hanging" was formed in the furnace the men knew of it by the increased pressure of the blast. Witness, in answer to Mr. Lewis Morgan, said that hanging" furnaces were one of the greatest difficulties they had to deal with, and no method had yet been devised for preventing them or protecting workmen at the top more than they were at present protected. Deceased and his companion would know an arch had formed, but they could not tell it was such a heavy one as to cause the top of the furnace to be blown off. Cornelius Sullivan, the foreman in charge. said the gong was sounded by the men at the top to warn those below that the furnace was hanging. By Mr. Lewis Morgan: There had been similar accidents, but nothing so serious, and nobody had been injured. The Coroner said the work seemed to be risky, and those engaged in it should be careful and cautious. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

SUSSEX V. HAMPSHIRE. I [Result of corresponding match in 1905Sussex, 491; I Hampshire, 297 and 114. Sussex won by u insists and 87 runs.) In delightful weather and before a fairly numerous company, play was resumed at Chichester this morning. About 11.30 Sussex resumed with considerably the worst of the I position, having six wickets down for 120, and 'being still 117 behind, but Cox and Leach (not out respectively 55 and 22) set about I pavlling the game round in resolute style. Mead amd Badoock, and later Greig, bowled, I but Jjeaeh hit brilliantly, and completed his 00 as a result of an hour's batting, whilst Cox also hit well. liangford was tried at 176, but, though the change kept the runs down, it did not bring about the desired result. During the first tixee-Quartiers of an hour 70 runs were added. Alto.-ther the partnership produced 147 before Leach was ca-ught at the wicket, at 211. He had hit eight 4's, and batted just over an hour and a half. Simms and Dwyer threw their .wieket8 away, but Butt rendered useful assistance. Cox com- pleted his 100 in two hours and thirty-five minutes, and later the Hampshire total was beaded with a wicket m hand. The last partnership proved extremely useful, and it I was still unbroken at luncheon, having thus I far yielded 112 rune. Cox played superb | cricket. Score!— I HAMFSHrSE. First imntn?. Second iM?f.

CARDIFF-PENARTH TRAMS. [ The proposed tramway between Cardiff and Penarth was discussed at a meeting of the Penarth District Council on Thursday, Mr. Ivor Purnell presiding. Mr. J. W. Morris, the clerk, laid before the council correspondence which had passed between him and Messrs. Lewis and Fletcher with reference to the matter. Mr. Morris had written asking for the scheme the council were asked to sanction, and also inquiring who the syndicate were. Messrs. Lewis and Fletcher replied that it was pro- posed to construct a tramway between Windsor-terrace and Cardiff, and to widen Cogan Hill at their own expense. The Chairman pointed out that the particular information asked for had not been sent. Mr. Hanoox proposed that the council dis- cuss the matter in committee, since he was not in a position to vote upon the applica- tion. Mr. Morris moved an amendment that the last letter be acknowledged, and that Messrs- Lewis and Fletcher be told that the information desired had not been sent, aDd that the council could not discuss the subject until the information came to hand. Two voted for the resolution and eight for the amendment, the latter being adopted.

NERVOUSNESS AT PEMBROKE Discharge of 700 More Men Talked About. An alarming rumour is again current at Pembroke that 700 men are to be discharged. Inquiring at the dockyard on Thursdey, our representative was told that no orders had been received to that effoct. It is, however, evident that unless a fcreen ship is allotted at an early date more discharges must fol- low. A defect iu the onilft of the Defenee will delay her launching for some consider- able time. When the Warrior is completed, at the end of the year, only the Defence will be in hand, and it is clear tha-t 2,000 men cannot find employment on her. Mr. Owen Philippe, M.P., says Uiat as eqpn as Pa-rhainent meets he will ask a question whether any more dischargee are to follow. The deputation to London is delayed until an answer i6 given.

MINING EDUCATION BOARD A well-attended meeting of the Mining Education Board was held at the University College, Cardiff, on Thursday evening, when Principal Griffiths presided. It wae reported that. ai-rangemcuts had been completed for the formal opening of the summer mining school, and that there were no fewer than 143 candidates for admission to the special course from Glamorgan. It wag decided that the secretary (Mr. Henry Daviee) be asked to make a report on rescue stations and their work in this and other countries. A sub-committee, consenting of Principal Griffiths, Meeers. Martin and Gray, inspec- tors of mines, H. V. Martin, N. Phillips, W. O'Connor, Taliessn Richards, W. Harries, and others, was appointed to consider the recom- mendations of the conference on the estab- lishment of a rescue brigade. The beet tha.nks of the board were acoorded Sir Wil- liam Thomas Lewis for his generosity in offering a Bute Shield for competition amongst the brigades formed for rescue i work.

CLAIMS OF THE LABOUR PARTY SpeaJMHK at a temperance gathering at the We; ;?eynagu Chapel, Treherbert, on TUUN- day evening, Mr. T. Eichards, M.P., stated that the present Government would deal with the temperance question, ajid urged tha.t in this connection Wales had str<mg claims upon the Government for separate treatment. Whatever they did in regard to England, Wales had a right to expect from the Government a measure of local option on the lines of Lord Peel's report, and all the representatives of Wales in Parliament would make a unanimous demand for this concession. There were maaiy in the Labour party who expected the Government to reform all the accumulative anomalies of past generations, but he maintained that Be Government oould effectively deal with such a question as that of the unemployed until they had solved the problem of how to deal with the drink traffic, for at too bottom of the unemployed question lay that of tem- perance reform. (Applause.)
