K WOMEN'S PLEA. ^CARDIFF LODGING-HOUSE NEE.R Safe Home 'Mid City Perils; •• CONVINCING EVIDENCE. i lb accordance with the direction ofthe-j f Cardiff City Council, upon a resolution^ moved by Councillor Sydney Jenkins, thO'Car-* I dif? Public Health Committee on W-ediiesdayJ I conducted an inquiry for the purpose-of aseei, taining whether there is need for a municipal j .lodging-house for women at Cardiff. Councillor Dr. J. Robinson presided, and amongst othersfj t; present were Aldermen F. J. Beavan and VV. r H. Remvick, Councillors Ed. Thomas, Morgan*? Thomas, Sydney tonkins. Dr. Riggs, W. I Gray, and J. Mander, Dr. Walford (medi y officer). Dr. Erie Evans, Mrs Principa j* Bdwards, Miss Janet Price, Sirs Howe,.Miss| "Howell, and Mrs Tydvil Thomas. The inquiry^ \fi. marked a real advance in the agitation for 114 municipal lodging-house for .omen, nd '/Dr. Erie Evans (who knows her subject* | hvell), Mrs Edwards, and the other ladies^ | bad the satisfaction of securing Alderman?' I Beavan. as a convert, although the alderman; was careful to observe that he thought there,, were few girls in Cardiff who needed the pro-" vision suggested. However, he would not. oppose a small experiment. Councillor Sydney Jenkins, who made an eloquent and forcible j speech when the matter was first brought be- fore the Council, was more than pleased with the inquiry. "The ladies," he said subse- quently, made out an excellent case, and l they more than held their own in debate with the members of the Corporation." The evidence submitted was written, and the following are brief extracts — A Safe Lodging-house. Dr. Erie Evans: We should as a munici- i pality make ourselves responsible for a safe lodging-house for women to which policemen i and others should direct girls asking for lodg- ings. It is not fair to the police force to leave the responsibility of selecting a lodging to the individual policeman. Miss Price and I in- quired of two policemen where they would direct a woman asking for a lodging, and possessing no more than 6d. One said he would take her to the policestation or the Salvation Army. The other said he would take her to the home in Newport-rond, and was surprised when we asked him if he would think of the police station Having been over the Salvation Army Hotel I should like to Make it clear that I regard it as a splendid pioneer effort, and even after the municipal } lodging-house is started I think it will remain more congenial to some as the latter would be more congenial to others." A committee of ladies appointed at a public meeting wrote :—" Twenty of the girls re- reived into the Kingswood Home stated that-- had there been a municipal lodging-house they never would have gone astray. There4lare many girls and worn en who, through the small wages earned, are now obliged to live in places which are not conducive to clean living, and who would be glad to take advantage of a lodging-house controlled by the municipality, as it would not have the taint of a philan- thopic institution, and would be free from- all eects." Pathetic Testimony. The superintendent and matron of Kings- \Wood Treborth Home, Cardiff :—" Out of 40 oung women in our rescue home, 20 declared hey felt sure they would not have lived im- ?-mioraj fives if there had been a cheap and well- conducted lodging-house in a central part of, the city." Mrs Howell, secretary Cardiff and Distriet Association of University Women, forwarded a resolution that we regard the accommoda- tion as now existing inadequate, and a lodg- ing-house for women (as proposed) is demanded by the needs and size of the population." A letter was read from the Chief Constable that the police did not wish to give evidence. Letters on the subject were also read from Mrs Hughes (The Palace, Llandaff), Edith E. Jackson, 14, Pembroke-terrace. CardilI,and the Roath Ratepayers' Association, the last- named being in favour of an experiment be ing tried in a small way by the renting of a i house." Mrs Howe (matron, Kingswood, Cowbridge- road, Cardiff) said that she had nfot the htest doubt that, properly ikanaged, a. f municipal lodging-house would at least be -self-supporting. The Chairman said that Nottingham had jpelosed their lodging-house for women because [they could not keep out undesirable women. fSow were they going to manage at Cardiff ? j Mrs Principal Edwards How do other Iplaees manage with undesirable men ? Mr Griffiths (Caroline-street) said it was | desirable to discriminate, but he reminded them that, as a rule, it would be respectable women -would seek such lodgings as they i proposed, although they should be careful J not to shut the door to women who had "Amended their ways .and were anxious to lead e..fives. (Hear, hear.) Start on a Srr-W I Scale. Councillor Morgan Thomas said they had Stettfificient evidence to warrant them in making itome such provision. (Hear, hear.) They tsboum start on a small scale. Miss Janet Price said the best safeguard for !fthe»proper conduct of the house would'be in tbe fact thatit would be under the gaze of the fammicipality, and that ladies who took an Inactive part in social1 work wpnid render all the Assistance necessary. (Hear, hear.) 'i Alderman P. J. Beavan said he thought fthere were few girls in Cardiff who needed to Ebe catered for in the way indicated. Still, I £ he<did not object to an experiment-on a small (JBeale being made. (Hear, hear.) Dr. Smith said it should be the ambition of ^Cardiff to set an example to other towns. ) The Chairman said they would meet again lj»t an early date, and he was sure they would Mo something in the matter.

One was |the class for litters—which not only estab- lished a record for South Wales, but beat that Of the.Crystal Palace show another was the hciaes for Welsh springers—a breed rarely Pshown—and the third was a, litterof the new r"^elsh breed, S«alyham terriers, shown (for {inhibition only) by Mr Davies. of Llanmaes |Warm, 'St. Pagans, which attracted a great {'deal of attention. Collies were a-strong class, Ijand bulldogs, all guaranteed by the Welsh \-Rulldoc Club, filled well. Smooth fox terriers, i^eire haired. Irish, Welsh and Scottich terriers 1*31 made good classes, and Airedales, Bekilirtg- ftons, and toys made a capital display Many -known winners the country over were resent, and. the amount of work the judges |5iad to do'may be gauged from the fact that j*their labours lasted from 11 in the morning ptmtil six in the evening. ( The arrangements were admirably carried ut hy the committee, of which Mr Walter fcNicol was chairman and Mr R. C. Davies .^secretary. Messrs J. Morgan and G.

WELSH UNDL0RD TALKS OF RESORT TO SWORD. Tory M.P.'s Mock Heroics. Mr Ormsby Grore, M.P., addressing a meet- ing at Portmadoc Conservative Club on Tues- day night, asked what good was it to pass Acts of Parliament to govern factories, quarries, and other industries if foreign blacklegs were allowed to send their goods duty free to our country ? If landlords were compelled to suffer much longer owing-to the imposition on them by the Radical Government of extra taxes the time might arise when they would have to fight for-their rights, and he would not hesitate, when that time came, to use once more the sword presented to Sir John Owen, an ancestor of his, for risking his life for prin- ciples.

Memory and Reason. SCHOOL METHODS CRITICISED, --L Opening of Cardiff Boys' Intermediate ji Schools. An interesting stage in the history of the Cardiff Intermediate School for Boys was I reached on Thursdaywhen possession was taken of the new school buildings erected behind the old school fronting Newport-road at Roath. Under the headmaster (Mr F. Reynolds) and the teachers the lads were drawn up in the; playground, and gave a hearty reception to* the Lord Mayor and party on their arrival.; In the presence of a laxge and representative j gathering Alderman J. Chappell was presend; with a gold key. with which he opened the fi'ont'. door of the building. The meeting took placey in the large airy central hall, Alderman Lewiss Morgan presiding. The Chairman extended congratulations to the architect and builder on the completion^ of their work, and mentioned some details andS features of the work of the Intermediate SchooEl since its inception in 1898% Speaking of some-' of the criticisms passed on the Central Welsh Board, Alderman Morgan stated that no. education authority was entirely perfect, but1 he thought the (Central Board was as perfect1 as it possibly could be. He might aay that in., some respects he entirely agreed with some of the criticisms passed on the Welsh CentraK Board. The serious criticisms, however, did-not- apply to the Cardiff schools. One of the criticisms was that they were spending too* much time in teaching their children to com- m it things to memory rather than showing them how to reason out subjects which they can study. They burdened the memories when the reason ought -to be developed. That was not an unfair criticism. They wanted the children to reason rather than commit to memory. The men who reasoned would get some benefit as the result of their reasoning. The Chairman concluded by stating that the modest sum which they had spent on the seliool was something on which they could congratulate themselves when theyknew that a halfpenny rate would cover the expen- diture. The Lord Mayor's Loss. The Lord Mayor stated that many people asked him why they were always spending money on schools. He had felt the loss of his education, and he knew the ga.p that had been left in his life. He thereforecould only tell those people that whatever money was spent in education, or in making for the higher de- velopment of the people, there was-no cause for complaint. H", would like to see all their boys and girls getting the best education pos- sible. He hoped the education in that school would make the boys gentlemen, wicfhoutifoeing snobbish. (Applause.) Alderman W. J. Trounce, J.P., Councillor J. Lovat Fraser, and Headmaster Reynolds also spoke, the gathering e o rpc hid ing with the singing of the National Anthem. Schools Described. The newschool buildings take thepla-ce of the temporary timber structure which for some years occupied the site. The plans were approved by the Board of Education without alteration, and the tender of Mr W. T. Morgan, of Cardiff, was accepted for the erec- tion of the buildings. The school provides ac- commodation for 300 boys-and comprises 13 class rooms grouped round a large assembly hall which has a balcony round three sides and a gallery. The office, headmaster's room, wait- ing room, and library-are near the-visitors' entrance, and there is a large common room for assistant masters. The science-department is very complete, and includes- advanced and elementary chemical and physical labora- tories, mathematical laboratory, lecture theatre with provision for lantern, optical balance and preparation rooms,.all fitted with the most up-to-date appliances. There is a very large art room lighted from the North-by studio lights. The manual instruction roomis commodious and well lighted. There is a large and weIl- fitted gymnasium, with champing room attached, while ample cloak rooms, changing rooms, lavatories, and bicycle house are pro- vided. A large covered playshed issituatedin the playground for use in wet weather, and there are also two substantialfiv-es-courts. The playground surrounding the school »s very large, and there are entrances from Newport- road and Southey-street. The buildings are heated throughout by low pressure hot water, supplemented by open Teale fires, and the ventilation and drainage has received careful attention. The lighting is by electricity. The cost was fixed by the com- mittee at iCI2,000, and this sum has not been exceeded. The architects of the building are Messrs Teather and Wilson, of Cardiff, whose design was accepted in open competition.

A Cardiff Betting Baid. I £80. The story Otf a rmdupon,'sshop was told heforethe Deputy Stipendiary (Mr Raymund Allen) at Cardiff on Thursday, when Waite, liorwood f29) was summoned for 'usmg his premises in Co for-the, purpose of betting. Mr F, W. Ensor^proaecuted and Mr Morgan liees defended. Detective William Dayies stated that he had kept the shop under observation Jot several days. During that time a large number of persons entered, but many only remained for about hsjif a minute or .a minute. He had-also seen Horwood take what appeared to be slips of paper "from rupn at the door. When the police entered the shop Horwood wass fOiWld tomer. Some betting newspapers were found in the shop, but no betting slips. Detective Lucas gave <;victence as to finding 'hooks said to relate to bettmg oa She premises, whiie it was also stated that bettit^ slips were found (lJl men who visted the shop. Every facility was gi ven; for searching the premises. Further evidence was given 'by the police that one letting slip was found near a man sitting in the shop. While the police were there a man cntereiKfcbe premises, but Hor- wooded towards the door and waived him back. He was stopped, however,.and a book relating to .hetting was found on- Horwood,. on oath, denied that he had ever used his premises, for the purposes of betting during the whole of the,, eight yearsiie had carried on business. Evidence was given by witnesses--as to the excellence of Mr Horwood's character. They also stated that they had never seen any betting carried on in Jhs shop. The Stipendiary held that' the, offence had been proved, and said that it was a class of case in which there was no use imposing a small fine, as tt wasone which in itself profitable,, and should be made unprofitable. A fine of Z30 or one month was imposed, a month being allowed for payment. James Marsh, William Jones, and George Moses were also summoned for being found, upon Horwood's premises.

J Coalfield Positwn, >4,000 MEN IDLE. The situation in the coalfield is regarded, by' those who stady the men's movemaentsasex- ceedingly perflocs. Par reasons there are- already nearly 14.GOO men idle, and strong fears .are entertained.lest this mamber be aug- menterl on November Lst (Tiext Tuesday) by over 12^000, thus hringiitg tbe tofcal to 26,000 raen. The workmen at the Ely, Pandy, and Nant- gwyn Pits have been out-since the 1st of Octo- ber, upon w-hich date 700 comers at the Geili Pits also ceased work owing to a similar' dispute regarding a price list. The Abergwynfi Colliery, employing atoufe 900 men, has been idle for some months and- the troubles at the Powell DufEryn Pits in the Aberdare Valley, together with the stoppage j at the Rose-Heyworth and Cwmtiilery Collierie.s., in Monmouthshire, added nearly 10,000 men to the .number of strikers. The failure to arrive at a settlement relative- to the Bute Seam of the Ely I^it autonraitfcally puts into-operation theresomtion carried oirt at the last miners" conference that all the<)azrr- brian Combine workmen who tendered notices on the 30th of September., and who number about 9,800, should cease^work on the 51st of October. To these mnist be added 3^000 em- ployed at Maesteg and Coegnant. Here 60 traffic men have refused to withdrew their notices, which also terminate on Mondsty UExt,' a,nd in the event of their sfcoppdng work all the^ men in the two pits wili be rendered idle. Subjoined is a table showing the men at the- pits now idle, amd-the, nuniber cngaged-at "the, :w 1tere-.notices.-are now -running-- Now, kHo.

It was urged, lor defendants that the paxar graph was published quite innocently, and without-appreciation of the fact that it can- veyed an imputation against Mr Muir, and re- gret was, expressed >and an apok^jy teadered. The-Solicitor-General said he wished, on be- half of the Director of Public Prosecutions, to can attention to the view the Crown took of this particulw-eaw- Mr had -treabedone--opec",it, a good deal more Ughtlythan it mightto betreated- Sopposing. the defendauts had published asfcafcement say- ing -1 We are informed by a correspondent that Belle FAwomAs alrvTe,would not that have ofEended against justice ?—He said it wouhlbave been-a grow breach of the rules -otiair play and of the common law. Itwoubd be a palpable interference in the>rCp2estkgx which the judge and jury had to try. Thetinna groSffper- vErsion as the real object of a criminal proee^. cntaonJtt was a vulgar error"to«uppoae tha>t an Engfeh barrister, when he appealed to parowe- cute, desinxi to secure a conviction. Thatisa9 not the case. All he desired was touaarive at the truth, and the vulgar idea was aO&stibaA oughtrto-ijeesetrnlyrepiieKaed. J.udgment The Lord Cfcfef JuKtice, in ment, said he^uitei^cogmsed tbatsttie publir cation of the paper involved great stress off work, but.a.fter all it-was donetx>eell the paper*. In order that more-<Autaanjihould be exercised in future he raust point out that theyvpere net-. at all satisfied in these cases that, a fine vzab sufficient punishment. In thecase-of a successful paper- the money fine was a meaft nothing vit was paid readily possiblyihe pa more than thatcnA of the increased profitearising ont44 the pubt- lication. It was not to be supposed that tbe, tine inflicted came oot of the pockets of tlas sub-editors responsible.

It was said by respondente that the publication was bona fide and made on the information of a trusted con*, tributor, but there was no evidence of any inquiry having been made as to itsacotrracy. SGrcly some inquiry could been between nine o'clock and four onlock. The way in wbicbt.he-parngmpbJmd beenjne-edit«e4 showed that it was the sdbjectof consjdera^ tion during the day. He agreed with the Solicitor-General that many people who thought the object ,of..the--aotyin ofcftain convictions would think the faoseaji- tion was being unueted when the# read the pwagmph. As he had in«S- cated, it did not mneb nraftter wtafe fine was inflicted, but becaase they did iiot T>roprwe to inflict an erEoeasrve fine or to go beyond the figures named by the Court in recent cases, it must not lie-supposed tha £ they did not regard this as a serkxssmafcter properly brought before the court. \TO no object in this case in singling oat arV jiarticulai individual, as it wasa.crtirtimw ins teansaction, and therefore the order ofthe court would be that a fine of EM and costs be paid by Rvans, Ward, Bennett, and HichoQ, and that tbeyrernain in custody of the-ooart tintd-the money was paid.
