I THE CUA^ANS DR. COMER LEWIS CO-OPTED ON THE WAriEf, BOARS. I NEW CHAIRMEN. The annual meeting of the Swansea Board oi Guardians was held on Thurs- day, Sir J. T. D. Llewelyn occupying tne chair pro. tern. The Rev. E. O. Evans at once rose to move "That the Guardians, in the exer- cise of their power of co-optation, do elect the Rev. J. Gomer Lew is, D.D.— who for twenty years has served as Guardian, and for six of these as Chairman or the Board—n~ii additional Guardian or tne poor for the Parish of owansea." There was, he said, a little irony of fate in that he should move the co- option of Dr. Gomer Lewis, because seven years ago he had done his utmost to convert the chair from a "freehold" into an annual tenure. He believed the Doctor had now himseif come to the opinion that the right thing was then done, and that the last snred of lli-feeling had dis- appeared. lie (the speaker; was not a great believer in the principle of co- option. Co-option should be reserved for exceptional men, in exceptional cir- cumstances, and after exceptional ser- vices. (Loud applause.) lie thought that Dr. Gomer Lewis filled the bill. He thought that had he stood, Dr. Gomer Lewis would have been returned. Distinguished Services. Dr. Gomer Lewis had rendered distin- guished services to the community, to Wales and to Swansea. Some of them might have heard him on a held-day of his denomination, swaying by his elo- quence the multitude. They all knew him as the most popular Welsh lecturer of modern times. He had placed his undoubted abilities at the disposal of the poor, and those who wished to make their way in life. Hundreds of young people of both sexes in Swansea had found in Dr. Gomer Lewis their best, friend. On the matter being put to. the vote it Was carried by a krfge majority. The Mew Chairman. I Alr. E. H. Seidle was unanimously elected Chairman for the year, and the Rev. D. J. Harris first Vice-chairman. Air. G. S. -I was elected second Vice-chairman.

PEBUVIAN ATHOGITIES I CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC SITTINGS Sir THE CSMMiTTEE. 9 *"——— The Parliamentary Committee in- quiry into the Putumayo atrocities met again today, Mr. Astbury, K.C., continuing his address for the Britisn directors of the Peruvian Amazon Co., the owners of the concession on which the outrages were committed. •He declared that they were honour- able men, with an honourable business reputation, and that they had never been known to be guilty of any impro- priety, cruelty, fraud, or wrong. The Committee could not help believing them unless it was found they had cri aunail.v eauspired together. The record of the directors' positive acts compared unfavourably with the action of our Foreign Oilice. A great deal of criticism of the direct-ors ivii; -ii had taken place outside of the Parlia- mentary Committee room was un- founded. They might have been un- wise in jumping to conclusions, but that could be no more than an error of judgment. The directors made no charge against Mr. Hardenburg or Captain WhiHen. The public sittings of the Committee then closed.

"THE SIMPLE LIFE" I L. OPENINC ST. HELENS CON- CKECrtUONALiSTS' BAZAAR. There was a large attendance at the opening ceremony m connection with St. Heien's Congregational Church bazaar, which took place on Thursday after- noon. The list of stallholders and officials has already be^n published in the Leader." The Rev. T. Sinclair Evans, before asking Mrs. John Williams, of Dulais House, to declare the sale open, thanked all those piesent for their kindness and sympathy. Functions, of that kind, he said, had become really necessary in Swansea, a town which was possessed of so much wealth, and where there were so many large and generous hearts. (Laughter). Proceeding, the rev. gentleman said that as a church they were in con- ?iur,etion and co-operation with other churches of the town, doing their best to fulfil their duty in that populous dis- trict. Their removal from Castle-street brought them into closer contact with the larger population of Swansea.. I The Simple Life. Their expenditure was on a very moderate scaie, and down there tiiey lived the simple life, but occasionally they found themselves living a little be- yond their income. They had a slight deficit on their current account, and the sale of work was an effort to relieve it. They yere very glad to have with them Mrs. John V\ lliiams, who was well known in the town, and connected with nearly every society and organisa- tion that had for its object the welfare of the people and the promotion of all that was best and highest in the town. (Applause.) Mrs. John Williams expressed the great pleasure it gave her to be pre- sent, and appealed to the ladies to make a clearance of the stalls. She de- clared the sale open. Mr. J. C. Gorvin moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Williams, and this was seconded by Mr. E. Jenkins and sup- ported by the Rev. Evan Jenkins and carried. Mrs. Williams briefly replied, and the business of the sale then commenced.

LLMELLY GUARDIANS. CHAIRMAN m VICE-CHAIRMAN RE-iLsCTcD: The annual meeting of the Llaneiiy Board of Guardians was held on Thurs- day, when Mr. W. Lieweiyn was elected chairman pro tem. Mr. W. 1. iNevill proposed the re- election of Mr. R. C. Jenkins as chair- man for the ensuing year, and lin doing so said he did not think a better chair- man could be found throughout the whole of Wales. The motion having been seconded, Dr. J. L. Davies sa.d ne was very sorry to raise a dissentient voiice and hoped the Board would not tiunk he was animated by any personal motives. He moved, as an amendment tuat Mr. W. illoviNedeN, -i]A be the chairman for the en- suing twelve months. Mr. Hy. Davies seconded the amend- ment. Mr. Novill: I am so contented with our cha-rman that I think we ought to stick to him. Mr. Jenkins has done so vveii that 1 hope the mover and seconder of the amendment will not press it. Dr. Davies said that having regard to the attitude taken up by Mr. JSeviii he had no option but to withdraw his amendment although he was against the principle of re-electing chairmen. I Mr. Jenkins Ke-e.ected. The motion that Mr. R. C. Jenkins' be elected chairman was then carried unanimously. ivir. Jeiiiiins, on taking the chair, thanked the members for the honour conferred upon him, and in extending a welcome to the new members, said he was exceedingly sorry to find that Mr. Thomas Jones, who had been a member of the Hoard lor a quarter of a century, had not sought re-election. Mr. Jones had been a very useful member particularly on the Assessment Com- mittee. It was thought at one time that Mr. Jones had shown indifference in not contesting the seat, but it had since transpired that Mr. Jones as High Sheriff of Carmarthenshire could not enter into contentious matters such as elections, and he (the chairman) therefore moved that Mr. Jones be co- opted as a member of the Board. I High Sheriff Co-opted. Mr. W. Llewelyn seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. W. B. Jones, and carried unanimously. Mr. W Y. JNevill was re-elected senior vice-chairman, and Mr. Thomas Jones was re-elected junior vice-chair- man. Later, Mr. Jones, who had been tele- phoned for, put in an appearance at the meeting, and was accorded an en- thusiastic reception. He thanked the Board for the honour that had been conferred upon him, and expressed the hope that he would be able to work I harmoniously with the Board as he had done for 26 years.

RACING STEWARDS AS I PLAINTIFFS. The stewards of Ascot race meeting were plaintiffs in an action heard iiii the Chancery Division to-day, the de- fendants being the trustees of an in- denture of April. 1839. The plaintiffs claimed that under the indenture thev were entitled to the sum of £ 30,000 now in the hands of the defendant trus- Ii tees. Plaintiffs' counsel said the sum re- presented a clear surplus of monies and profits from time to time received at the grand stand at Ascot. He con- tened that the stewards ought to have the money. They could then pay off j the debt on th.3 5s. at-and, and the whole income of the stand could be devoted to the benefit of the meeting.
