MAESTEG TRAGEDY. | ————— ——— Sensational Shooting Affair. Woman Dead: Alleged Assailant in Hospital. A sensational affair occurred at Mace- i teg at 9.30 on Wednesday morning. Mrs. Harriet Williams (10), the wife of 3Mr. W. II. Willisiris, of (5, TurberviH- •troet, was shot dead, the alleged assail- ant heinjj; George Ellis. a lodger in the Louse, who afterwards attempted euk-ide, Jbut only inflicted wounds on his face. Thoxilas Lllis, tic brother of Goorge Ellis (who also lodged in the house), Hieard two shots, and rushing into the loom whence the sound came saw Mrs. .Williams, on the couch and his brother holding a shot-gun. Mrs. Williams, it van found, had fweii shot through the right breast, and medi- cal opinion is that death mutt have been instaataufious. I It is not quite clear at present, whether the fatal shot was tired intentionally, or 1 -whether it was an accident, as at the time of the tragedy the deceased woman < and the miner, George Ellis, who is al- leged to have fired the shot, were in the middle room a lone. HUSBAND'S STATEMENT. The husband of the deceased woman, llr. William HMiryWHiiama. who is a laasoa employed at the coke ovens of the IacteK Decp Colliery, made the follow- iii,, sieteitietit to a Press representative:— We had lodging with us two miners. "who were brothers, Geo. Ellis and Tlios. ( Ellis, the former being nearly 0(1 years oi age. and the latter about 56. I The.v were in the house this morning when I left for work. At 20 minutes to 7, just before J left, end alOJ was having breakfast, George Ellis came downstairs and had a cupful of water in the back kitchell. JIe did not say anytll i ng to me, and I made no re- mark to him, but this wu6 not unusual (because lie WI: ratlH:r fkaf. and did not always hear A-h,-dt wc, to bii)i. He eeemed in his usual frame of mind and then left the btic- lifelien, and I under- stand that he had gone upstairs to bed again. His brother Tom was still up- ■taiii George Ellis and my w ife were al- ways on good terms. There was nothing against him except that some tune ago lie was rather given to drink, hut f the last six weeks he had given up drink al- together. George Ellis was rather fond of sport and shooting, and "t hero were £ hree gutl in the house. "I was called from my work about 10 o'clock, and on reaching home found jGeOrtre Ellis lying on his back in the back kitchen, and the police were there." George Ellis is now in hospital at Mae steg, so that his version of the affair is unavailable. Jt appears that Mrs. W illiams and George Ellis were in the middle room, a Jittle «itting-room. and the maidservant, Dorothv Jones, who was in the baek kitehon. heard a shot and ran out and rajse-d an alarm. Thomas Lllis alsr? heard the shot and rushed into thf' middle sitting-room. It is Moged that he there found his brother George with a gun in bis hands. BROTHER'S STORY. Further light has been thrown on the affair in a statement made by 1 horn as Ellis. He says that he and his brother George worked together at the International Colliery, [ilaenganv. They were at work on Tuesday and returned tfo heir lodgings about 3 o'clock and remained indoors that night, going to bed about A5 p.m. tig evening, Mrs. iWilliams told him that he and his brother would have to leave as her health would not permit her to keep lodgers any longer. .About midnight his brother got up and went downstairs. He followed Ilim 80me time aiM: as he did not return, and they sat together by the tire tot- about an hour. George had recently been morose. They again went to bed. but George got up and went down&iairs about 7 o'clock. Thomas Ellis got up about nine and went into the back kitchen. While1 lie was there lie HEARD A SHOT in the middle room and, rushing in. he found Mrs. Williams in a sitting possum on the couch, apparently dead. His brother George said, I have done ror her." He was standing with the gun in hand and seemed to be making iiis flioilgii to shoot Thomas.rushed at him and struggled with him to get the gun, but in the course of the struggle the gun went off and George was woudned in the face, and a number of small shot, evi- dently from a sporting cartridge, bored holes tlirough the ceiling, bringing down a piece of tiie plastering of the size of a -plate. The struggle continued, and some neighbours came in to help Thomas Ellis. DESPERATE STRUGGLE. The gun was got away from George, but the struggle continued in the pass- age, and out to the back kitchen before George could be overpowered. George then become unconscious. Thomas Ellis summoned the police, and Inspector Timothy Canton, who is in charge of the Maestog division .went to the house. He found Mrs. Williams still sitting upright, op the couch, hut dead, and George Ellis was lying uncouscious in the back kitchen. He had George Kllis removed to the Cottage Hospital, where he is being attended to by Dr. Sinclair, who states that the wounds in the head are only superficial, and that the -nan should Ke all right. In ahoilt a fortnight George and Thomas Ellis have ooen living at Maesteg for about 2(1 years, and lodging with Mr. and frs. Williams for about 15 years. They are both bachelors and have the reputation of being rjuiet. well-behaved men. They are natives oi Cole ford, in Gloucester*)) ire.

I CIVILIAN DOLE. ' I -
I CIVILIAN DOLE. I [ Cessation Condemned in I Commons. The of Commons last night con- j fchiered the uppJemetltary Vote for ior an extension of out-of-work donation to ex-Service men and women ¡ to March 31st next. An important .speech was made by Sir Robert Home, Minister of Labour, on the future of the donation. He said that (ho Government mean to continue the out-of- work donation to demobilised and out- of-wprk sailors and soldiers—at a lower: rate, however—and to cut off all supplies from unemployed civilians, jaen and women. T STRIKES SWELL NUMBERS. j Whereas in May last 1.100,00°, persons were receiving the donation, I)' v, iti(, end of September the number had fallen to 44)3,000, of whom 302,000 were ox-soldier*. The rapid absorption of millions of men into industry testifies to tbo vitality of our trade. To-day the persons receiving out-of-work pay humber 179,000, the figure having been swollen by the latgc number of soldiers demobilised recently, and also enlarged owing to the effect of the pro- tracted strike of ironmoulders..Nearly II ,W.flHO engineers hate lwen thrown out of work by that strike. INSURANCE PROBLEMS. t The Labour Minister spoke with wis- dom on the subject of unemployment. He j rc-illises (tays the "Daily News"), that if a margin of unemployment is necessary I to the functioning of industry then in- dustry must bear the tvurden of uneiii ployment, with some help from the State. Ho was disrespectful of the old laissez- faire system and spoke of the incongruity of Labour unequally yoking itself to the doctrinaires of the Manchester school. This was all very tine, but Sir Robert Home is not ready with his unemploy- ment insurance scheme. He promises it for the early future. Mean lime the civi- lian recipient* of the out-of-work dona- tions are to be sent packing at the least favourable time of the year, with no pro- vision whatever either of work or insur- ance or financial help. CHORUS OF CRITICISM. I Mr. C'lyncs fastened unerringly on this I defect, and made a telling point by draw- ing attention to the fact that no ,SIngle word had been said by (he Labour Minis- ter about: th high cost of living, which has » peculiar bearing on the position of the ex-soldiers, with their reduced allow- ance, and the deserving civilian out-of- works, who are now to be sent empty away. After Mr. Clynes the chorus of criti- cism became loud and louder, and Sir Edward Carson strongly advised the con- tinuance of the donation until March 31 next, both to ex-soldiers aDd civilians un- employed. The stream of debate flowed strongly against, the Government. Lord Hugh Cecil was the only speaker who ventured to say a word about that unattractive virtue economy. Member after member got up to expostulate against a policy of cutting off the donation without anything to put in its place. That wes Sir Donald Maclean's point, and two Labour mem- bers, Mr. J. E. Davison and Mr. John Jones, rammed the argument borne with great energy, not 10 say vehemence oi expression. HUMAN FACTOR. I It was refreshing to hear a Lancashire employer, Mr. Thomas Robinson, insist- ing on the neorl for paying more regard to the human factor of industry. The dread of unemployment is a menace to the harmonious working of industry. He wants unemployment to he extirpated. Mr. Clynes moved a reduction of the vote, and urged the Government t-o con- tinue the donation to civilians until the spring. Mr. Bonar Law left the decision to the free vote of the House.

SECOND DAY. | Diocesan Confer- ence at Swansea. GENERAL BUSINESS. The Diocesan Conference at the Albert Hall, Swansea, resumed on Thursday, when the business was to consider the report of the Executive Committee. The Bishol) of St. Davids, following prayer by the secretary of the Confer- ence, called upon Canon Joyce, principal of iiftaipeter College, to move the adop- tion of the report. and the secretary to second th< report. Thpy proposed to per- use the report paragraph by paragraph, when it was open for the conference to make whatever amendments thev thought, fit. VERY IMPORTANT REPORT. It was a very important report, and should be considered very carefully, for the conference, in adopting this report, laid the foundation of the future ionstitu. tiou as far as regardeci application to 1 parishes, etc. He would impress up-on the conference the great importance of the ?i&cussic?.

That ap to January 1st, 1923, subject to any further regulations the Diocesan Con- I ference may take, the Vestry shall deter- mine the number of elected members of the raror-hial Church .Council and the method of appointment. WOMEN ON COUNCIL. I That in appointing members of flit, ¡ Parochial Church Council, care should lie ta-ken that women should form part of the Council. Then win-re there arc more churches than one in a parish, it is ad- vised that the representation on the Parochial Church Council should be as far as possible in proportion t.o the num- ber of coinmunicautti belonging to each church and mission room in the parish. That in all parishes where the number of communicants and other qualified ejectors shall he under 100. the number of lay representatives elected to the Ruri- deaconal Conference shall be three, with one additional lay representative for every additional 1W qualified electors or part; thereof, provided that; in no casqffthe total number of lay representatives fioin any parish exceeds 8. That in electing lay representatives to the Rurideaconal Conference care should b.> taken in every parish that women should be represented on the Rurideaconal Conference.

That on March 31st, 1920. the existing Diocesan Conference be dissolved. ftnd that forthwith after that date a new Dio- cesan Conference be elected in accordance with the new regulations. RIG H T TO VOTE. Canon Joyce, in a long statement ex- planatory of -the Executive Committee's resolutions, said it was recommended that everyone confirmed had a right to vote on the Electoral Roll. But everyone before voting wolil4i have to sign n declaration. He advised them to pjoceed ahollt the matter of preparing the electoral roll in a businesslike manner, as slovenliness in the matter would lead to slovenliness in the church business, and this would spell nothing short of disaster. WANTED LARGE PARISH COUNCIL, I The secretary, Rev. D. A. Jenkins, in seconding, said that he was not agreeable Oil one point He thought the parochial Council should be a fairly large body, tully representative of all classes of the church people in the parish, and of all ectivities of the church work. Canon j Joyce had said that the Parish Church | Council should be a small body like most Town Councils. He did not think a great (le-al of these bodies; they were very j largely out of touch uith the towns- people. Speaking oil the rj nest ion of the Ruri- dcacouaJ. Coulcrcnccs, the Bishop said it tb?, c-,reatLst? honour for a church re- preseiitative to be sent to the conferences. They should SN that the best, men ?crc sent as rep tiT4- Mr. T. W. GiibMt-.or. sp?Hn? on the 1 "(Jrd -best, said that it was aii aston?Ling fsct that o',I the hig Labour INdcrs -i in the country were church men. 1 YOUNG MEN IGNORIED. I The church in the past had not given a big enough place to the go-aliead young men. licju'csentaticcs of labour were going to take a large hand in the dircc- tifm of affairs of the State than they ever had before. They nvanted some of the Labour leaders to be some of Ifrst-rate cJiuxchmen. Perhaps they would now hare an opportunity in their self-govern- ing church in giving rope to young men to find positions ot responsibility in which they could exercise their brains. It was necessary that the young nitii of promise artd pTugTfssh? i-dfa& should gd 3?il llil)9i-?ortunit v Hn? that he should hav? his share in work of real imj»rtance. h was most important that the incumbent should see that the work of the I'arochial Church Council was made interesting, lie shouJd not -distatp. hut guide wisely. The Chancellor of the I)iooese (Mr, Marlay Samson) explained supplementary paragraphs on a resolution pad the previous day, to defer the election of members of the Patronage Board of the Diocese and of the College of Episcopal Electors, and suggested the scrutineering of the ballot ]japers tak« place on Decem- ber 6th. This was decided upon, and the report was adopted. I THURSDAY AFTERNOON. j Reports of Diocesan Organisations. The principal business before the Dio- cesan Conference when they resumed on Thursday afternoon, at the Albert Hall. Swansea, was the consideration of reports of diocesan committees and organisations. The report, of the Church Lads' Bri- I gade was adopted. It sttid that it was satisfactory to learn from the 28th annual report of the governing body that the Brigade was now more than holding its own as a distinct religious body in the diocese, which to-day has 25 companies o4 the C.L.H. and 12 companies of the junior branch of the C.L.B. Training Corps to its credit. The first battalion (Swansea and district) was 12 strong; and the second battalion (Llanelly, Carmar- then and district) is 12 strong, while un- attnehed companies number 7. Mr. Frederick Warren (Haverfordwest) presented the report -cit live Diocesan As- sociation of Lay Readers, which was adopted. Several readers were admitted during the past year, and the good work of assisting the parochial clergy had been carried on as hitherto. cirl-1(4i oTi ;)s report of the White Cross League was moved by the Bishop of Swansai, who gave details of a ten tour for the secretary in the diocese. I'ricudly Society report I stated that tlie G.F.S. was at work in 58 bandls. The returns for 1910 have not yet come in. hut now the war was over there were, as was anticipated, very en- couraging signs of renewed life and activity. It was regretted that Miss Pari- ridge has resigned the superintendence of Tredawel. Llandrindod. but she kept np her connection with the Lodges Depart- ment, so the Home will still be under her wing. (Proceeding).
