WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE. Mr S. T. Evans Interviewed. Mr S. T. Evans, K.C., member for Mid- Glamorgan, received a deputation of Maesteg electors on Monday afternoon in favour of woman suffrage. The deputation consisted of the Rev. W. H. Thomas, Rev. lorwerth Jones, Rev. W. R. Bo wen, Rev. John Llewellyn, and Mr Evan Williams. The deputation placed their views before Mr Evans, who afterwards explained his reasons for opposing the exten- sion of the franchise to women. On Tuesday morning, at the Dunraven Hotel, Bridgend, Mr S. T. Evans granted an interview to Miss Watson, organiser for the Central Society for Woman Suffrage, an organ- isation of which Lady Frances Balfour is the president, and which strongly repudiates the methods of the Women's Social and Political Union. Miss Watson placed before Mr Evans the claims of women to the vote, in reply to which the hon. member gave the reasons for his opposition, one of the chief being that the sphere of women was the home and not politics. Mr S. T. Evans, accompanied by Mrs Evans, continued his tour through Mid-Glamorgan on Tuesday, and at night held two most en- tliusiastic and harmonious meetings in the Ogmore Valley. Mr Evans on rising to speak received an ovation. He said it was not necessary for him to put forward his confession of faith because they knew perfectly weil what his views were during the 16 years be had represented the constituency. It was not like Wales and Mid- Glamorgan to disturb meetings. The workmen in this constituency were people who had re- spect for themselves and for one another, and had been in the habit of hearing him discuss political topics with perfect fairness. (Loud applause.) He believed that on political questions his views were in agreement with those of the vast majority of his constituents, and it was, he thought, no doubt for that reason that the difficulty, trouble, and expense of a contest had been avoided. He endeavoured to fairly represent not only one class but the whole of the constituency. (Cheers.) He had been told that morning by a woman who be- lieved in women's suffrage, but knew how to behave herself, that during her stay in the constituency she bad spoken to some of the I.LP. men and bad asked them why if they had any complaint to make against Mr Evans they had not run a candi- date against him, and these Independent Labour Pary men bad replied that the worst of it was they could not point out anything against him regarding his Parliamentary ser- vices. (Cheers ) It had been said that he was willing to give uphis Parliamentary represents- tion. Yvell, he was going to fight until he was turned out. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) He had heaid that there were two definitions of Socialism—one was Christian Socialism and the other poliiical Socialism, and he had heard that the motto of the one was Everything that 1& mice is yours," but the motto of the other one was." Everything that is yours is mine, and I will take it." (Loud laughter and applause.) A great deai was now being said about, independence. He was as independent of pressure from the present Liberal Government as anybody, lie was responsible only to his constitueote and his political conscience. In the beginning of the Session he took a step with which every- body did not agree. Ho had taken steps to introduce a Suspensory Bill which would pre- pare the way for Disestalishment, and Disen- dowment. There was some misunderstanding over that Bill. What it would have done would not have been the creation of any ecciesiasticai preferment, but it would have prevented any vested interest being created that could not be taken away without giving a money payment. He was asked by the Prime Minister to postpone that measure. He did so, receiving from the Prime Minister a pledge that the Government would deal with Dis- establishment. and Disendowment. He did not 's pretend to like the Education Bill in toto, but half a loaf was better than no bread. In con. clusion Mr Evans sad he believed Mid- Glamorgan desired to have a representative of its own kith and kin. He hud seen a list of names," hicli had been sent down, the owners hailing from London, Glasgow, Leeds, Belfast, Liverpool, and Westminster. (Loud laughter,) Well, not one was selected, and he was not surprised. (Loud laugnter.)

School of Mining. SOUTH WALES PROJECT. Practical Help by Lord Tredegar. The first of a series of meetings to advance the movement for the development of a school of mining in connection with the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire, Cardiff, was held on Tuesday night, at the Workman's Hall, Ton Pentre. The gathering was attended by Viscount Tredegar, the Lord Mayor of Cardiff (Alder- man Hughes), Mr W. Abraham, M.P. (Mabon), Sir Alfred Thomas, M.P., Mr William Jones, M.P., Mr Tom Richards, M.P., Principal Griffiths (Cardiff), Mr Henry Davies (county mining director), Mr Evan Owen, J.P. (Car- diff), Mr Tom John (ex-president N.U.T.), Mr Ben Davies (miners' agent), and Captain R. A. Lewis, who were met on arrival at Ystrad Station by Cory's Prize Band, which headed a procession to the ball. Mabon, M-P-, pre- sided. Letters of regret for non-attendance and expressing complete sympathy with the movement were read from Mr D. A. Thomas, M.P., and Mr William Brace, M.P. The Chairman said they were indebted to Principal Griffiths for the idea of inaugurating the movement, and for the energy displayed by him in carrying the matter thus far. Principal Griffiths's Appeal. Principal Griffiths, who was given a hearty reception, said they were united upon the question. What they wanted in this district was more scientific knowledge—more trained scientific work to be given to the industries. He would give them a few facts, taken from the admirable lectures of their friend, Mr Henry Davies. (Hear, hear.) Sixty years ago the fatalities in mines was 5 per 1,000 workmen, while in 1905 it was 1*34 per 1.000. In 1851 they purchased one million tons of mineral at the expenses of the lives of 19 labourers. To-day they could purchase the same amount for 4'6 lives. These were great reductions, but there was still much room for improvement. From 1892 to 1897 for every ex- plosion 10'7 per 1,000 were either killed or in- jured, but for the period between 1898 and 1903 it was 2 46. They had been making investiga- tions into explosives at Woolwich, and this scientific research bad reduced the deaths and injured by nearly 70 per cent. This reduction represented a saving of 2,800 lives per annum. Still, while they were losing 1,110 lives per annum, did they consider that all that was necessary had been done ? They had 1,400 maimed and wounded per annum in their coal mines, and he asked them to think of the misery which th*t represented. He absolutely believed that it was within the resources of science, if not to abolish, to diminish the explosions to vanishing point. The business of mining was becoming more complicated, and the knowledge pos- sessed by the last generation would not suffice for the future generation. The technical education (f the county of Glamorgan was one of the most promising institutions in the history of the coalfield, and the wise liberality of the Glamorgan County Council and the extraordinary ability of their director of mining (Mr Henry Davies) was pro- aucing a system of mining education whIch was going to be the first in the kingdom. The system of the County Council should be crowned by a school of mining at the University College. They had it in their power to establish the first mining college in the king- dom. He could assure them that too employers would not be backward, but they reasonably expected tbe workmen, who would be the most benefited, should bear their share, and he (Principal Griffiths) undertook for every jEl given him by the workmen to raise £2 in other directions. (Applause.) He advocated establishing a centre in every dis- trict, where every colliery official and worker could pour into it the wealth of bis knowledge. The Chairman tliea moved the following resolution :— That tbismeetiEg. consisting of the inhabi- tants of Ton Pentre. Ystrad. and Gelli, in- cluding members of the Miners' Federation of South Wales and Monmouthshire, is of opinion that the development of a fully- equipped school of mines in connection with the University College of Soulh Wales and Monmouthshire, would be of great service to all connected with the mining industry of South Wales that the object of such a school should be to afford opportunities not only for the higher education of those en- gaged in mining, but also for tho promotion of research into the causes and prevention of explosions and other accidents in the mines. Co-operation of the Miners. Mabon gave the originators of the movement his assurauce of the active co. operation of the miners' leaders, and then made a forcible appeal in Welsh to the workmen" to go with the learned gentlemen who were showing such practical sympathy with their dangerous calling. Mr T. Richards, M.P., seconded and thanked Principal Griffiths heartily for his scheme of lifesivinjr. They had been assured that the colliery and royalty owners would give their support, but whatever they would do he (Mr Ricbards) felt that the sacrifice made by Lord Tredegar to be present that night would far eclipse anything that could be dona by them. (Hear, hear.) And when saying that he believed he was expressing: the sentiments of the 160,000 miners in South Wales. (Applause ) They had a leader in the person of Principal Griffiths, who would no doubt do his utmost to bring the movement to a successful issue. (Applause.) Speech by Lord Tredegar. Viseouttt Tcedegar. who came in for a rous- ing reception, the whole audience rising and cheering iusiily, said that he could not understand why a great meeting of that description was necessary for an object which it seemed to him must be agree- able to every single individual in the country who knew anything about mining. (Hear, hear.) It hardly required to be argued. Everybody must think it was a necessity. (Hear, hear.) Here they had a college at Cardiff right on the edge ottba greatest coallield in the world, and if there wag a spot In the universe where there ought to be a mining school it was at Cardiff. (Applause.) Already they had great schools of science in England. They had the great Royal Society, which presented annually medals for scientific discoveries and inventions.. Out of every six medals given he had been told that three went to the Continent. Personally he would like lo see all the medals being won in England, and wa9 it too much to hope that some day a student at Cardiff Uni- hope that some day a student at Cardiff Uni. vcisity College would receive a medal for bemg the inventor of a great work for the prevention of accidents, or the lesseinng of them ? (Ap- plause.) He had entire sympathy with the great cause, and not only would he give ¡t his moraljsupport but he hoped shortly his finan- cial assistance. (Applause.) Mr W, Jones, M.P., in a stirring Welsh speech, said Viscount Tredegar upheld the traditions of his iamily in bis Draetical sym. pathy with all good movements." They wanted more Lords of his stamp—men who moved among the people and assisted them. (Ap- plause.) He urged the minors not to dream about this mining school, but to work it out in reality. (Applause.) The Lord Mayor of Cardiff (Alderman Robert Haghes) moved a resolution pledging themeet- mg to raise the funds necessary for the develop- ment of the school of mines. He was perfectly certain that the funds necessary foe this roove-\ ment would be forthcoming, and that Welsh genius would heat creation if only given the opportunity. (Applause.) Mr David Thomas, checkweigher, of Ton, seconded. Sir A. Thomas, M.P., said it was safe to prophesy that vhis movement was going to achieve the success which it deserved. (Ap. plause.) The county of Glamorgan had shown public spirit unequalled by any county in the world. He earnestly invited the meeting to assist in establishing at Cardiff a school of mining worthy of the county of Glamorgan and the South Wales coalfield. (Applause.) Mr Tom John (ex-presidenfc of the N.U.T.) also spoke in support of the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. Principal Griffiths announced that Coun- cillor John Morgan, of Merthyr, would act as secretary to the movement. and all communi. cations should be addressed to him. Councillor Fleming and Alderman Morgan Williams also spoke.

GOVERNMENT AND CLUBS. Deputation to Mr Herbert Samuel. Mr Herbert Samuel, 1\1 P.. the Under-Secre tary for Home Affairs, received at Middles Drouth on Tuesday night a deputation from Middlesbrough and District Licensed Vic. tuallers' Association on the subject of the ex. pected Licensing Bill next Session. The presi- dent of the association (Councillor Wycherlev), who was the chief spokesman, drew Mr Samuel's attention particularly to the ques- tion of clubs, which he said were a very great evil. They paid no licence and were not under I pohce supervision. The deputation asked the Government to deal with clubs as public- houses were dealt with. They should be under police control and not allowed to be simply drinking and gambling dens. Mr Samuel, in reply, said he fully shared the views of the deputation concerning clubs which were established for ihe purpose of drinking. It was useless to secure the closing of licensed houses if the result was simply that wherevor a house was closed a drinking club arose to take its place. These clubs were neither more nor less than public-houses on the co-operative principle. He had read the Bill drafted by the Licensed Victuallers' organisat on on the sub- ject of clubs, and he could assure the deputa- tion that the matter would receive the careful attention ot the Government.

MEETINGS AT BARRY DOCK &NEWPORT Mr J. Havelock Wilson M.P., addressed a crowded meeting at Barry Dock on Tuesday evening at St. Mary's Hall, on the action taken in reference to his recent bankruptcy. Mr W. Brace, M.P. for South Glamorgan. who presided, briefly touched upon the great services which Mr Wilson rendered in Parlia- ment. Mr Haveloek Wilson, M P., who was well received, dealt with the action against him in 1893, and the present attempt to sell him up. The only difference between that and the present was that now they could get no "sticks" to sell. (Lighter.) Personally be advised all agitators never to own any furniture. (Much laughter.) In the strike at Glasgow in 1893. from which tho present action arose. Mr James Henson, the delegate of the Seamen's and Firemen's Union at Barry Dock, was his co-defendant in the libel case. which was a fight for freedom, in which they both took part. As soon as he opened his mouth in the present House of Commons—and that sUCCessfully-they served the writ for the damages six years afterwards. In the House of Commons he bad been able to support a good case with extreme moderation. There was one thing they would not tolerate there-that was extremist or high fa!utin' statements. If a man could tell his story in a truthful and modest manner, the House of Commons would pay attention to him. He had been successful up to now in being effec- tive in that direction, and that was the reason certain people were determined to keep him out of Parliament (Hear hear, and They have not done it yet.") The cause which he pleaded was neither personal nor political. It was a fight in the interests of the right of combination among seamen and of representation in the House of Commons, in order to make the sea-faring life possible to follow. Personally, he never bad a single debt of his own, and what debts he had in- curred had been always on behalf of the sea- faring men. At the present time there were 22 actions at iaw, and this meant a strain upon their resources. Mr Wilson, in conclusion, re- ferred to the many tributes paid him even by Tariff Reformers and Conservatives, and after having shownjaome difficulty in overcoming his emotion, Mr Wilson at length quite broke down. The Chairman, referring to this pathetic scene, said it was one of those incidents which really wrung a man's innermost soul. Mr Wilson having recovered his composure, subsequently left the meeting to address a gathering at Newport, and a resolution in favour of organising a local fund was cordially approved, after having been supported by Councillor C. F. Sixsmith. A resolution wa.s enthusiastically endorsed on the motion of Mr J. Henson in favour of the right of seamen being represented in the Shipping Office, and regretting the prejudiced and unfair attitude ol Local Marine Boards against this concession made by the Pi esident of the Board of Trade.

CARDIFF DOCKS AND RAILWAYS Suggested Absorption of Rhymney and Bute Undertakings. In the Financial News on Tuesday a correspondent discusses the question of the absorption of the Rhymney an'l the Cardiff Railway Companies by the Taff Vale Railway Company. It refers to the probable adverse influence of the new Cardiff Railway on Taff traffic, but states, after dealing with the average earnings of the Taff Vale. Rhymney, and Cardiff Railway Companies over a series of years, that the Taff Vale occupies the strongest position, and that it is therefore better able to dictate terms. The article con- tinuea :—" It might therefore be possible to effect some arrangement whereby the Taff Company could absorb the other two com, panies. This could be done by the issue of debenture stock to provide funds for the com- pletion of the new dock, while payment for the i Rhymney line could be made by an issue of Taff ordinary stock to ordinary shareholders and new Taff preference and debenlu-es for existing Rhymney preference and debentures. The ordinary stock of the Cardiff Uailway Company, and advances already made for the purpose of building the new dock and railway, i would be exchanged for Taff deferred stock, ranking for dividend after payment of 5 per cent. on the TaG ordinary stock. At first sight it may appear that such an arrangement gives undue preference to Tflff Vale share- holders; but it must be remembered that the Taff Vale Company has become the most pro. gressive line in the district, as evidenced by (1) dividend distributions and reserves (2) im- provements in dock accommodation and quick loading at Penarth (3) up-to-date catering for passengers, as shown by the introduction of steam motor cars at popular prices and (4) traffic returns for the current half-year «how- ing an increase of nearly JB).,000 per week over the corresponding period of last year."

BRIDGEND LUNATIC'S ESCAPE. JOB MATTHEWS CAPTURED AT RISCA. A brief message was received by the police at Bridgend on Tuesday morning that Job Matthews, the escaped lunatic, had just been captured at Risca, near Newport. Matthews, it seems, was found bv Constabl* Lewis walking about the streets, He took him to the station. Matthews wa3 well clothed and in very good condition. Further particulars show that the ncliee at Risca had been keeping a look-out for Matthews on the chance of his appearing in that district, he having been known to have visited Newport during the last few days. When accosted by the officer he went quietly, as requested, to the police statioa. lie was wearing an ordinary; dark-coloured jacket, vest, and corduroy trou- sers, and judging by the manner in which they fitted him it is believed that they are his own property, although it is somewhat of a mysterv as to how he became possessed of them. It is not thought that lie has been to his own home at all. lIe had also a little money about him— a few coppers and a small amount or silver. He will be conveyed back to the authorities at Bridgend. 1 rorn statements made by himself he seems to have been making use of his few days of liberty by having a look round the place," and wandered to Risca without any lixed object, as he ha.d no friends ur relatives there.

I Bristol's Loss by Fire. I MERCHANT VENTURERS' COLLEGE DESTROYED. £60,000 Damage. Bristol sustained a great loss on Tuesday by fire, the Merchant Venturers' Technical Col- lege being completely destroyed. I It was a handsome stone and brick structure several storeys high, adjoining College Green, and was erected in 1885 by the Society of Mer- I chant Venturers at a cost of £45,000, being equipped with modern machinery and appli- ances at considerable further expense. The fire, the cause of which is not known, broke out between 1 and 2 o'clock on Taesday morning in the chemical laboratory on the top floor, and despite the efforts of the Fire Brigade soon obtained a good hold. The flames descended from storey to storey and floor after floor fell in with a terrible crash. The firemen, finding it imposssible to save the college, directed their efforts to protecting adjoining premises, including the Lord Mayor's j Chapel, a building of great historic interest I and architectural beauty, and the ancient Red Maids' School, containing about 100 inmates. These, as well as the residents in the houses near, were prepared to leave their quarters if necessary, but fortunately these were not affected. The college, however, vraa gutted, and the damage, which is covered by insurance, is estimated at from £50,000 to £60.000. Many of the students have been accommodated in the branch school and workshops belonging to thecoilege, and for others an offer has been accepted. At the City Council meeting on Tuesday the Lord Mayor referred to the great educational loss to the city, and expressed sympathy with the Society of Merchant Venturers as well as with Professor Wertheimer and the staff. Mr J. A. Jones, the president of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce, on Tuesday afternoon sent a telegram to the Master of the Society of Merchant Venturers sympathising with the society. It may be recalled that the recent meetings of the Associated Chambers of Com- merce of the United Kingdom were held in the building destroyed.

The inspector replied he was not a scavenger, and that it was the stall- holders' duty to clear it, moreover be had not Leard any complaints about; it. Mr Pearce, the inspector, here interrupted. Mr Jeokin Morgan I can substantiate what the chairman has said. Complaint was also made to me about the stench The Inspector I am noc going to be condemned wrongfully by the chairman.

PONTYPRIDD WATER SUPPLY. Medical Officer's Strong Indict- ment. The medical officer of PontvpricJd (Dr. Howard Davies) has further complaints to make of the quality of water supplied to the town. In his report to the Health Committee, which was presented to a meeting of the Council on Tuesday, Dr. Davies says :1 regret to state that, the water supply of your district has been very unsatisfactory during the past four weeks. The water has presented the usual characteristics associated with the want of filtration. Samples of the water had been submitted for analysis at tho Cardiff and County Public Health Laboratory..According to the report of the analyst sample No.l showed lead to be present to the extent of one-sixth of a grain per gallon, and the amount of lead in the second sample was 1-30 of agrainperpalloa. As re- gards reaction, the water in both samples was stated to he neutral. The analyst. Dr. Sugden, states in his remarks anent the water that it is a very solt water containing dissolved lead. The amount ot organic matter and also the nature ot' suspended matter are less satisfae- tory than in previous samples. The analysis indicates that the sample is not of a high degree of organic purity." Dr. Davies adds that tho fact of the presence I of lead in the water was pointed out by him in his annual report of 1905. The water supplied by the Pontypridd Water Works Co. possessed strong plumbo-solvent properties, which act upon the leaden service pipes by dissolving ^tne ieai, and had a prejudicial effect on the health of the persons drinking the water. Dr. Davies states tsat daring the intervening 15 months from the time lead was founi in the water no steps whatever had been taken by the water company to remedy the condition or quality of the water that led to such dele- terious results. Through all these months," the report further states, the company have treated the public with utter indifference, amounting almost to contempt, anù have shown a lack of enterprise in remedial measures to rectify tbe existing state of the water supplied by them. The heedlessness and apathy of the Pontypridd Water Works isnstoundmg." Dr. Davies was empowered to attend the j County Council conference at Neath to con- sider the water question as affecting the county, and it was further decided that a special meeting of the Health Committee be held as early as possible after the conference to consider the question of the water supply of the district.

OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS. Canton Problem Again. At a meeting of Cardiff Schools Manage- ment Committee on Tuesday, Alderman ¡ David Jones presiding, a recent report of Mr T egard. H-M. inspector, on overcrowding in Hovern-road infant school was discussed. Mr Jackson (director of education) said l.e had gone into the figures for the year, and found that-taking the whole of Canton there was a surplus accommodation of 346 places. Mr H. 1\-1. Thompson did not tlnnk it was fair to take the average-for the whole year, for if they did that they would have certain pedods when there would be overcrowding. He dId not think a case had been made out for the building of a new school, but he suggested the committee should provide temporary accommodation for 100 children somewhere betw jn Severn-road and Wood street from the Easter to the summer holidays, between which times there was usually overcrowding in Iho infants' depart- ments. They might have the Severn-road Public Hall. Councillor Chappell asked if the money ¡ spent for the hire of a hall would not be sufficient to pay interest on money they might borrow to build an additional class-room at Severn-road 7 Mr Jackson said if the mistress of Severn- road Infants had not admitted above her accommodation the children Would have gone into Lansdowne-road School, where there was plenty of accommodation. On the motion of Alderman David Jones it was decided to obtain a ground plan of Severn- road school showing whether there was room for buiiaing an additional class-room, and to instruct the headmistress of Severn-road Infants not to admit more children at present.

Cardiff "City Hall." I THE OPENING CEREMONY. Lady Mayoress Arranging for a Charity Bail. A meeting of the Cardiff New Town flaB Sub-Committee was held on Tuesday, when the Lord Mayor presided. The town clerk, chief constable, and city engineer were called in conference, and a rough draft of the pro- cession and opening ceremony on October 29th was prepared. The mayors and town clerks of all the boroughs in Wales and Monmouthshire will be invited, and the members of Parliament. The school children will be given holiday, but no special provision has been made for their witnessing the procession or the ceremony. The sub-committee propose that the new municipal administration building shall be called the City Hall." It is likely that Lord Bute will join the procession at the old Town Hall. The Lord Mayor will give a luncheon at 12.30, and in the evening will bold a reception, followed by a dance in the new buildings. Ball in Aid of Jubilee Nurses' Fund. The Lord Mayor presided over a very large and influential meeting of la Jies and gentle- men who had been invited by the Lady Mayoress at the Town Ha'l yesterday after- noon. The object of the meeting was to make the prelixninaiy arrangements for a bail to be held in the new Town Hall on November 2nd in aid of the Jubilee Nurses' Fund, and to form part of the festivities which will take place during the opening week. At the initial meeting details were not discussed, but thero is little dcubt from the enthusiasm mani- fested tha.t the ball is likely to prove a great success, seeing that it will be the first function of the kind held in the magnificent City Hall. The ladies and gentlemen present were con- stituted as the general committee, with power to add to their number. and it was decided I that at the next meeting an executive com- mittee should be formed. In addressing the committee the Lord Mayor stated that he thought the success of the ball was assured by sucti a large and representa- tive gathering, and he felt sure that there, would be an attendance of between 700 and 800. He appealed for the assistance of all present, but he had no doubt that that would be readily given for such a noble cause. Several subscriptions were promised, and it was agreed that the committee should en- deavour to get assistance from all friends of the inst itution to prevent any charge being made on the receipts. Mr E. C. Willmott. is the secretary of the movement, cd he was requested to call a second meeting to perfect the arrangamenta at an early date.

NEWPORT AND CAMPBELLS. PROPOSED CORPORATION STEAMERS. At a meeting of the Newport Corporation on Tuesday Mr Chas. Thomas moved that aspecial committee be appointed to consider the ad- visibility oA)btaiiairig the necessary powers for the Corporation to provide steamers for the purpose of accommodating the pleasure traffic from Newport to the Bristol Channel watering places. Mr Greenland What do you mean by vratering places ? (Laughter.) Proceeding, Mr Thomas said that the pleasure traffic from Newport had not been well catered for in the past. He did not blame the company for it, for it was just impossible for them to give special attention to any one particular port. That was why New- port had been neglected. If the Corporation ran the pleasure steamers it would, he thought, be lo the aivantage of the town. The Corpora- tion catered for the pieasuies of the people by way of parks, swimming, etc. He thought thilt municipalities should cater for the pleasure of the public. It was better than continually preaching at the people. Mr John Twoomey, who seconded, said that Messrs Campbell had neglected Newport. This was because there wa:; no competition as was the case at Cardiff, where fares for cross- ing the Channel were 25 per cent .:e s than at Newport. If the Corporation did not take the Newport. If the Corporation did not take the matter up, he knew there were public-spirited men who would form a company and run other botts. Mr John Moxon said be had never heard a moi e crack-brained proposition than this. They knew the experience or running pleasure steamers on the Thames. »vhere there was a large population, and i:i Scotland, where they lo=>t a lot of money. They knew that one-half of the people who sailed with the steamers from Newport came from tbe valleys, and they had no right to sink—for sinking it would be- the money of the Newport ratepayers for peop'e who lived outside. Alderman Mordey said he could not support the scheme, which would mean a heavy finan- cial loss. Mr Wilkinson defended Messrs Campbell's boats, and said that only on 29 days during the season did the average number of passengers reach 300. Only six voted fortbemotion.which was con- sequently lost.

The meeting of creditors had already been held and closed, debtor attributing his failure before the Official Ueceiver to uepre- ci'dtion of Cardill property held by him, and to Qnancing building operations. Debtor stated that the bulk of his debts had been contracted while he was living at Penarth. He owed about £11,000 to about 30 creditors. The building speculations referred to comprised the taking over of buildings. These depreciated in value, and he had to resort to borrowing money at high rates of interest. He had no effects, and the whoir of the equity of the leasehold and freehold properties at Cardiff were settled on hia wife by an anti- nuptial settlement, but they were worth- less. He was trustee, jointJy with two others, in a small estate, but he had taken no active interest, in it.

Mortuary Post-Mortems. HELPING THE DOCTORS. AN OVER-ZEALOUS CARETAKER. At a meeting on Tuesday of the Cardiff Health Committee—Alderman T, W. Jacobs in tile cha.ir- Dr. Walford, medical officer of health, said that at the last meeting he was instructed to investigate the question as to whether the caretaker at the Trade-street Mortuary had ex- ceeded his duties. He (Dr. Walford) wrote to ail the medical men who had made post-mortem examinations at the mortuary, and thev all gave the caretaker a good character, stating that be had not exceeded his duties or done anything out of the way. One medical man. however, called on him at his office and said that his assistant, who had made a post- mortem, complained that the caretaker' removed the lungs from the body before he (the assistant) arrived. Tuat was a. wrong thing for the caretaker to do, said Dr. Walford, "and he admits that on one or two occasions he opened bodies before the medical practitioners arrived. I explained to him that he must not in any way touch the bodies before the arrival of the medical practitioner." No doubt (continued Dr. Walford) the care. taker. who appeared to be a very obliging man* and kept the premises extremely clean, would carry out these instructions in future. The Chairman said the report was a very c satisfactory one, and they were indebted to Councillor Stanheid for having brought the matter forward. The Caretaker had done work he ought not to have done. Councillor Staufieid said he was perfectly' satisfied with having brought the matter for- ward. He believed the caretaker to be a most excellent servant, but possibly he was a little over-zealous. The only thing he blamed him for now was in immediately rushing into print and repudiating everything. The statement he (Councillor Stanfield) had made was correct. as Dr. Walford now told them. He did not like some of the statements which appeared in the Press from some medical men calling people "liars," However, those laughed best who laughed last. He had not made any statement which ha.j not been fully proved, and he was perfectly satisfied with the result of the in. quiry. He hoped the doctors would not be quite so ready to again use the terms. which had been used, as some of U3 are big enough and strong enough to strike back." Dr. Smith said that only one medical man made the statement complained of by Councillor Stanfield. Councillor Stanfield said he meant to cast no reflection whatever upon any medical man. The only tbing that he aimed at was that if the caretaker was actually doing what he was stated to be doirz, then he was doing wrong. The Medical OSScer's report was adopted.

PEMBROKESHIRE POLICE COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Standing Joint Committee was held at the Shirehall, Haverfordwest, on Tuesdav, when it was decided to apply for sanction to borrcw £1,850 to provide a Sessions house at Mil ford Haven and a lock-up Hakin. The Clerk reported that under a new Act coming into force in March, 1907, it would no longer be legal to hold a court in any room which lormed part of licensed premises. He had inquired what rooms were so used by the magistrates of tbe county at present. Ho found that at Mafchrv the Sessions were held ia licensed premises also at Jsewchapel and at -Eglwyswrw. A committee was appointed to see what other arrangements could be made. Dr. Griffith said it was necessary to make some further police provision at Goodwick owing to the great increase of the population there. The chief constable (Mr T. Ince Webb Bowen) said Good wick was two miles from the existing police station at Fishguard, and with tho popu lation rapidly increasing at Goodwick more police accommodation was absolutely neces- sary, and if he did not bring the matter before the committee the Government inspector would bring it forcibly to his notice. The Great Western Railway alone now employed at the harbour station 1,171 persons, and there were a large number of passengers arriving by boat, which would be very much increased next spring by other companies running vessels to and from the port. Under those circumstances more police accommodation was absolutely m-eessary. Mr J. C. Yorke con- curred. He and the chief constable with the r-ounty surveyor were empowered to select »ites. The chief constables report showed a Jet rease of crime 0uring the quarter of eleven indictable offences and lSij non-indictable -> Hences.
