liVELY COUNCIL SCENESjg
liVELY COUNCIL SCENESjg CARNARVON" AND THE PIROPOSi^ NEW SCHOOL. .LOAN OF £60(;0 TO BE APPLIED FOR. .\tiat-t?rs relating to the proposed higher standard schooj for Carnarvon > were dis- cusr-ed at length at Thursday's meetings of the Education Author n-y 'and the County Council. The Building Coirmnrtee- of the Education Authority recommended that the area to be acquired for tihe purpose of erecting the school be as near as possible to 15 acres, and that tihe County Council be asked to sanction an aiplication to the Local Govern- ment Boa.rd for permission to borrow a total eum not exceeding J5t)000 or thereabout. It was also recommended that all possible information, be obtained with regard to the sites: (a) South road (left); (b) South road aright): (c) opposite QueMyn; (d) Vicarage field; Ie) Cae Hampton; (I;) Bethel road; (n) top of Victoria road. Mr J. Evan Roberts failed to see how the sro-commiltitee coad apiply for a loan when the ia-nd had not been obtained. He sug- gfstco that the matter should be left in abeyance until the price of the land had been. settled upon. Mr D. P. Williams (chairman) explained that the Town Council of Carnarvon was anxious that tlhe building should be pro- ceeded with as soon as possible so .as to miligate unemployment. Mr Issiard Davies said that not a single irapresenitaltive from the surrounding dis- irIctswbtønded the inquiry, and yet those districts wouild be called uipon to contri- Lute. People were apt to think that since the locale of the school was at Carnarvon it belonged entirely to the town. In select- ing the saites the commitroee should take into consideration the price. The Bfthel road site was in bis offer, and this was 3s 6d per square yard under thie next offer. Eie thought it was only fair that the price of the land should be appended to each offer. The school was going to be a training scihool for 'the Bangor Normal College. Tne Secretary explained tlhat it would be rather unwise to publish the price of the land in view of the fact that negotiations were taking pliace already. At the recent •inquiry the representatives were given to luncierstand that the probable cost- would b* £6COO, including the site. Mr Issard Davies: That calculation has been based on the price at which my land is offered. How wild that work out on the basis of 5s or 6s per square yapd, the prices asked for in respect of other sates ? It would make a difference of albout £1000. Mr' J. R. Pritchard maintained that a central site Should be secured. Tlhe school sfibjiild licit, be eredted near the (County School, as would be the case if the Bethel Ttoad slite iwere selected. There was no doubt as to the necessity of the school for the chilidinen who were educated at the ■DriT Hall were suffering great hardships, «6reciiall(\" during we winter months. The sub-committee's recommendation was adopted.. AT THE COUNTY COUNCIL. At a meeting of the County Council, Mir T W. Griffith, chairman of the Finance ■Committee, reported that at a meeting of that committee that day it was resolved to recommend the Council to apply for a loan ();f £6000. [t, was stated that accommodation would be provided for 350 children, and the land requeued would be 1! acres offered at 2s per souare yard. Mr Richard Davies explained that "a" Site would be offered at that price. Other s-iies were offered at more than 2s per square vard, and some at a smaller figure. Mr Griffith.: My information was other- wise. Mr D. P. Williams seconded the com- mittee's recommendation. Mr Richard Thomas, Carnarvon, opposed. He said that the Council were asked to borrow j36000 for the erection of a. sc'iool which. was not required, there being more than enough accommodation, in Carnarvon already. Mr J. R. Hughes said the question be- fore the Council was one of (mailed and not accommodation. Mr Richard Thorn a? proceeded to five figures a6 to accommodation, arguing 1.h:lt there was a surplus accommodation for 439 children. The education kat would be im- parted in the proposed h'giber standard school would be the same as that im- p.-rted to the higher standards m the ele- menitairtv schools, and he moved that the Education Committee be requested not to jpToteed with the erection of tibia extra school before holding a D'iblic inquiry, as the people of the town wou'd have to bear half the co-<t of the school. Mr J. R. Pritchard It has been de- eded that the school sihall be built. M> D. P. WTivIiams said that the Educa- tion Committee had consuk"d the people of Carnarvon, and they unanimously approved of the scheme. Mr Richard Thomas: Those were repre- sentatives of the Town Comic* and tho only question placed beu-5 them wss that ot site. L FLAT CONTRADICTION. Mr Richard Daws faid t; -at an inquiry was held some time ago, when the whole town was invited to attend. .\1: Richard Thcnos: I say tliat no pub- lic inquiry was held. It Lloyd Carter near, hear Mr D. P. Williams said that the Educa- tion Authority was bound to carry this scheme out. Mr Richard Thomas I should like to see that request from the Board of Education. Where is it? It has never been produced. I eum here to tell you that those people I re- present are anxious for a public inquiry. In- stead of a policy of peace, retrenchment, and reform, it seems to me that the Education Authority has adopted a policy of tyranny, oppression, and plunder (laughter)..Let- there be an inquiry and a public inquiry. Mr D. P. Williams A public inquiry has been held. Mr Richard Thomas It has not been held. Mr W. J. Parry, Bethesda We are sim- ply wasting time, Mr 'Chairman. Mr Lloyd Carter: You think so, we don't. Mr Richard Thomas We have freedom of speech. Mr W. J. Parry The matter has been settled. Mr Richard Thomas By whom? Mr Parry At a public inquiry. Mr Thomas: Mr Parry lives at Bethesda. and he knows nothing at all about Carnar- von affair*. OBJECT LESSON IN LANB VALUES. Mr J. R. Hughes I am very pleased that Mr Thomas has brought this matter forward. The Chairman: Are you going to second Mr Thomas? Mr J. R. Hughes: I will second him so that I may be allowed to go on (laughter). Five sites were offered (he continued), and he understood that his Carnarvon friends, had decided on the South Road site. That site measured 1 j acres, and belong to the L. and N.W.R. Co. Mr Evan R. Daviet said that no price had been given in respect of that offer. Mr J. R. Hughes It ia rated at 50& as agricultural land. Proceeding, Mr Hughes said the Caemawr site was rated at £7 15s per three acres as agricultural land, or acres at TIs 6d. The Cae Hampton site was rated at 54s and I5 acres of this would ost £ 1452. He was very pleased, to find Mr Issard Davies had offered 1 j acres at a fair and reasonable price—(hear, hear)—half ;i.n acre being a free gift for gardening. This land was onlv rated at 75s; for 1^ acre, for which Jie, would get £ 726 less the half acre, which he wou d present to the town. Mr J. R. I: "ches proceeded to discuss the last site whc" Mr H. C. Vincent rose '4} a point of on:' Mr Vincent [s Mr J. R. Hughe* giving us an expo?:! ■ n on land values, or is he, discussing t. t ration? Dr Wyr.no n^ffith, Pwllheli: It is \oryi timely (laught!1':). Mr J. R. IT •' 'l'ee: Are you, Mr Vincent, interested in 'his site? The Chairman: You are not speaking to the point Mr Hughes What point do you wish? The Chairman The £ 6,000 item. Mr Hughes: That is exactly my point (laughter). Dr Wynne Griffith: I don't see why Mr Hughes should be interrupted. Mr Vincent: The only site before this Committee is the site offered by Mr Issard Davies. ("No, no.") Mr J. R. Hughes maintained that ibe Council should have some idea what was to become of the £ 6,000. Was the money to be thrown away on a particular site, when an- other site could be obtained at a. much more reasonable price? "OH! INDEED!" Mr Issard Davies said it must be borne in mind that a moiety of the £ 6,000 will be contributed by the surrounding districts of Bethel, Llanddeiniolen, etc. Mr Henry Parry: Oh, indeed I The Rev William Morgan said that a. serious allegation had been made by a Car- narvon member that no public inquiry was held in respect of the proposed school. If that was the case, then the proceedings that day were invalid, and it was illegal to bor- row money until a public inquiry had been held. They were bound to hold an inquiry in everv district that would be affected by the scheme. J ill- Richard Davies replied that, an inquiry was held about, two years ago. Mr Richard Thomas Two years ago Mr Richard Davies: Yes. A notice was sent to the managers, but no attention was paid to it. The Rev William Morgan: Surely that is not a public inquiry. Mr AJincent: Can the Secretary tell us when and where the inquiry was held and wbere was it advertised? Mr Evan R. Davies (education secretary) replied that it was not necessary to hold a public inquiry as there was no legal re- quirement. Notices of this particular in- quiry, however, were published in a news- paper, and were also sent to all school man- agers in the immediate vicinity. Notices were also sent to the Town Council, and also managers of the Church of England School. Mr Richard Thomas: The National Sch-ool. The Secretary The official designation is the Church of England School. Mr J. R. Hughe." Are they ashamed of the name? (laughter). Proceeding, the Secretary said that the managers of the Church of England School sent a. protect to the Board of Education against the proposed new school, who then forwarded a copy to the local Education Authority, and a reply was sent in. Hav- ing considered the protest and the reply <1 the Education Authority, the Board of Edu- cation decided that it was necessary to pro- vide a new school at Carnarvon with accom- modation for 320. That wa.s about two years ago. and in the meantime no further protest had been received. The inquiry was held at the Education Offices on the after- noon of a County Council meeting. Vr Vincent: Is iit not a fact that no in- quiry was held to consider the vital ques tIc.n"whetheT Carnarvon peopie were anxious to have this school or not? Are you not fo, cms upon Carnarvon a school which costs the county J36000, and that, too, knout consulting the people who apie veaiiy interested ? Ivir Heniy Parry Mr Is&rd Davies said tha* Llanddeiniolen was included in this. If that is the case we mu&t have an inquiry at Llanddeiniolen also. Mr Jones Morris: You are not bound to p<Vid your children to this scihool. Mr Parry: Then we cannot be called upon to pay. Mr Jones Morris and others No. RATEPAYERS' WISHES. Mr LJovd Carter associated himself en- tirely with what Mr Richard Thomas had said" Xo puiblic inquiry was held in the in roper sense of the word, yet the ratepayers wcuic be asked to contribute towards tne cost of tihe school1. The wishes, of the rate- payers had been entirely ignored, and they were never consulted by anybody. Mr Charles A. Jones said that the Carnar- von 'Ratepayers' Association had passed a strong resolution condemning this scheme. He would like to know why there had oceTt no acknowledgment of tho receipt of that refol ution. The Secretary explained that a notice was sent to the Ratepayers' Association with reference to the recent inquiry. Mr Charles A. Jones Is it not a fact 'that the n-otice. was sent after the alleged in- onirv was held? '=' M J. R. Pritchard The association was not in existence then. Mr Charles A. Jones The whole affair is an utter fairc.e. When representatives at- tended the last inquiry they were simply told that the whole thing had been, passed. Mr Evan R. Dairies There is no legal (necessity to hold an inouiry at all. Mr dharles Jones: The ratepayers had no opportunity to express their opinions. The whole thing has been done in a, hole- a no corner, it is nothing short of a scandal, ar.d I strongly protest most emphatically against this expenditure. M" D. P. Williams: I must protest against the remarks made by Mr Charles Jones. Tihe whole affa-ir has been carried out legally and openly, and not in a hole- iaxd-corner. Mr J. R. Pritchard; said, that members would n'olt ha-ve spoken as they had done if they had the interest of the children at heart (hear, hear,. There were people in thai meeting very similar to members of ftiiotih>er body in London..They were anxious to have the voice of the people, but the only thing they had in view was the destruction of the scheme. The Board, of Education insisted upon having more school accommodation in Carnarvon. He had re- presented the ratetpayers on this Council for a long time, amd he would see that their interests were attended, to. Mr J. R. Hughes You are an honoured rep resentative. Mr J. R. Pritchard I have been placed higher than other members at the poll when I fought mv battles. Mr Lloyd Carter Do it again if you can. SCHOOLS OVERCROWDED. Mr J. R- Pritchard Are we going to crowd the children into schools which are already overcrowded? I think they deserve better treatment, and I am quite sure that the ratepayers will not grumble when called u;bon to pay an exltra penny or two in rates. I am surprised to see Mr Vincent opposing rhe erection of this new school. He adopts different tactics at Bangor. I ara certain if this proposal came before the County Coun- cil. and hadi not been made a political question, Mr Vincent would support the scheme. LAJbout 360 'boys are crowded into the boys school, and I noticed a few days ago the foetid atmosphere of the school was not fit for children to breathe. I am sure that members of this Council would not think of sordini theirr children there. The girls' school is in the same condition. "Ytou say ttha.t the Ghufcih Schools can take those chil- di er in. Are you willing for the children of Carnarvon to be behind tlhe children of otter pllaoes? Take the National Boys* School—the boys mustt be taken to the Coun- cil School for manual instruction. The gills of the National School also have to be ia-ken to the Council School for cookery. We have been toM tha.t the represientaltiives of the town are sioealaing agjffinsb the school. T sum not surprised. That has been the history of Carnarvon whenever any public improvement has been proposed,. When Dr iWjlliams' StAool was offered to the town the boieev of the rates was raised, and the :schol'1 went to Doligellev. When we fought tc. fpvt t,hie college the same .spirit was shown, am we lost. Thev are public spirited in iBn-ngor. with Mr Vincent marching on in tfio^t. and thtflt is why the town 41, flourish- ing. As fo the fiisnrres read bv Mr Richard T.IV"T-n,,q fhiefv are 50 years old. TTe should brr:- in mind that each child detmiands Kt-ir.^h space (lanr'hit.eir). I mean 10 square wri' fm^re lia/mfjhfter). Mir P'^itrih^rd snid tihene were three chances for a Welshman, and corrected the finiTPi to three cubic feet. The Chairman: This discussion is 90 ex- c'.t/eJ that no good will come out of iit. Mr Richard Thomas You must let me fpeak. The Chairman: You have a night to re- piy. Mr Richard Thomas put 111is amendiment to the meeting, 'but the clerk observed that 't. was no amendment, as it did not refer to the JE6000 (loud laughter). Mr Lloyd Ca-ittefr Move that it be not borrowed then. The Chairman: We have come here to transact serious businesisi, atnd you behave liKe a pack of children. Mr J. R. Hughes I think I will with- draw my seconding. It was decided to apply for a loan of aON, only five members voting to the contrary.

CROPS DAMAGED BY RAIN
CROPS DAMAGED BY RAIN SERIOUS LOSSES FOR NORTH WALES FARMERS. According to 'the subjoined reports. con- tributed to the "Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald" by prominent North Wales agri- culturists, it will be seen that the wet wea- ther experienced during the autumn has caused serious damage to the corn crops. The early districts have not suffered to any great extent, but many of the upland far- mers have little or nothing to show for the year's labour. Anglesey seems 'to have suf- fered most severely, and it is estimated in some districts that, only a third of the corn crop has been gathered in good condition, while a great deal of the remainder is only fit for use as .nanure. The following re- ports have been received Mr. John Parry, Sarxufadog, Llaner-chy- medd --The corn crops :tn this neighbour- hood have been very good, and good wea- ther was experienced tiU about the end of the harvest. What was out than was much damaged. About 100 acres in the Llanerch- ymedd district was damaged. Mr. Thomas Pritchard, Llwydiarth Es- gob, Llanerchymedd —The crops were ex- cellent, though late. About one-third was got in good condition, one-third was spoilt by carrying too soon-full of green weed— and one-th.Td was spoilt by being out too Ion-some being out two months. Much ha.s been since carried out of the stacks. Threshing has been. difficult; the yield and weight were good where crops were saved in good condition, but fully one-third of the oat crop is unmarketable. Green crops and potatoes are excellent, and grass has been plentiful. Beef, a fair market, but mutton a drug, and butter very low. Hay hardly up to average, grazed too late by sheep, which were unsaleable. Mr William Lloyd, Bryndyfrydog. Llan- erchymedd -The corn harvest m and around this district has been most dJsas- itirou9. Those who had corn on light and loamy soils juet managed to get their har- vest i!n good condition before the weather broke, but thoee whose crops were on clayey soils were unable to cut, bind or carry, aA the rains were so heavy and continuous, that the corn had in most cases to be aban- doned until dry weather set un. Even then we did not experience two continuous fine dayvs, and 'the corn wa-i carried in a most unfit condition. Heat was naturally gen- erated in 'the stacks, and om the lowest cal- culatlion, I consider that fairly two-th rd^ of the corn grown on clayey soils was un- saleable. My corn only yielded one-fourth dr- and tbree-fourth, damp, which is only fit to be given with chopped hay and straw with turnips to the cattle. Some people blame farmers for not making greater pro- gress with the harvest, but we had not suf- ficient warmth from the sun to ripen the corn dur'lig September. We had certainly many fine days,, but it was either hazy or cloudy, and the sun' rays scarcely did more tham. penetraite through the gloom. I can- not form a guess as to the extent of the money vaiue of the loss to farmers in corn alone, but the sheddinsj was at least 10 per cent and the straw for fedder is of very little value. Therefore, the less must have reach- ed many thousands of pounds. Mr. Robert Parry, Llangybi :—In this neighbourhood the crops were better than usual. Th^ farmers, oa the whole, man- aged to gather in the harvest, before the wet weather set in. Some Joss was caused by the heavy rains penetrating the stacks. Mr. A. M'Killop, Ty Mawr, Lianerchy- medd Several farmers in th's d tetricb suf- fered severely owing to the long ispell of wet weather n the latter part of the har- vest t'me; otherwise, the crops were good. Mr. 0. M. Owen, Penymynydd, Valley: —The crops in .this district were gathered in good cond .Bori;, although the oat crop was not uniformly ripe for cutting. After stacking the excessively wet weather caused extensive damage to the unthatched stacks, and in most catses fuJily one-fourth of the grain .has been rendered unmarketable. Mr. R. Lloyd, Ty Mawr, Holyhead.— Corn is not very extensively grown ib that locality, but what was grown this year was harvested in the best weather. The crop is excellent and of good weight. Mr. R. Rowlands, Trewyn, Llamerchy- medd —Many farmers have sustained very heavy losses owing to bad weather. Those who were able to sow early in the spr ing had splendid harvesting weather, and the yield was remarkably good, but on wet, cold ground, that could not be sown until May, and was not sufficiently manured, the harvest was late. The wet weather set :m and late crop? were very much damaged. About one-third of the crops has almost been a total loss- Mr. Robert Gardner, VaH!ey: —In this immediate neighbourhood we had very good cropn of corn, and were able to stack it before the wet weather set in, but owing to the stacks in many places being badly made, water got into them, and did a large amount of damage. Some s"x or eight miles awav a considerable number of acres of oats were out when the wet weather set in, a.nd no opportunity could be had to carry it until iit rotted on the fields. In consequence farmer4 suffered losses amount- ing to many hundreds of pounds. Forty years ago there was greait rivalry amongst farm-workers as to who could make the neatest and best stack, and to finish it in such a w.ay a& to keep out the rain, without, thatching if it came on suddenly. Many could boast that they could finish the top so as to keep out the rain for three, months w thout thatch. Now there are few who can make a stack to turn the rain for a dayL-hence so much damage. Bovs who are tauscht iin rural school* "hould have a.B;r:ulture a< one of the-'r subjects, and this should be Started when thev pr- verv young, to g Ve them an ncliination for farming when they get older. '=' Mr. J. Parry Jones, Cae Mawr, Llan- erchymedd: The early part of the harvest '\va<s rather wet, but we had a very good fortnight from the middle of September, and those who were fortunate enough to get the corn i'n then had it in very good con- dition. After threshing, I think that the loss is not so great as was feared at first. Mr. J. R. Jones, Bodeilio, Talwrn, Llan- gefni This neighbourhood was very lucky to harvest the corn during the fine weather in good condition, but great damage (wa. done to the stacks during heavy rain. I should think that 10 per cent. was spoiled in stack. I Mr. Robert Pughe, Ysguboriau, Towyn -Very littlie corn was damaged by the weather in this valley (Dysyni'). Most of ui? had finished reaping about the 10th of [September, and after that we ha^J, a fort- night of dry weather, during wh:ch the bulk of the com was carted_ in a dry- condition. Some complan that the ears had not filled well, but we had heavy crops—a big quantity, though the quality was not so good as usual. The same may be also said of the hay crop. We, in this neigh- bourhood depend quite as much on the hay as we do on the corn.. 1\0 corn is sold; it '8\ all used for feediing purposes; many of us buy tons of foreign corn, and caket; as iwejl. Over ten tons of feeding stuffs were carted from Towyn Railway Station l^t Saturday by the Farmers' Club. In thle locality we complain more of the low prices of sheep than we do of the harvest. Mr. Morris Jones, Uwchlawycoed, Llan- bedr :—No severe loss was experienced in the Vale of Ardudwy. but the crop was ismaller 'than usual, especially the barley. Mr. J. R. Jones, Pentremawr. Dyffryn: The majority of the farmers of th s district secured their crops in good condition, the exceptions beng a few upland farmers. whose corn did not r'lpen early enough to be harvested before the wet weather set in. Even in the*e cases very little was actually spoilt. Mr. Henry J. Evans, Escua.n Hall, Towyn:—The crops generally have not been damaged in the least by the weather on the lowlands, near the seashore; but on the highlands the crops have suffered grratlv on account of very bad weather. Mr Edward Williams, Cae'rddaniel, Bar- mouth, report-- that good crops of hay and corn were garnered in the Barmouth and Harlech d'istrict. Mr. David White, Rhyd-y-Glaves, Cor- wen: In the Vale of Edeyrn bn. at, the be- ginning of the summer, it was dry and cold, but iin July prospects improved, to- pecially for corn, but 'the weather became changeable and very wet towards the latter part of September, and scores of acres of corn had been exposed in the -hooks for five to six weeks and badly weather-beaten, Mos't of the oats was not fit' for marketing. Mr. John Owen, Llwyn-vr-Eryr, Llanys- tumdwy: With a few except ons the crops in th15 district were good, and, were gar- nered in fine weather. Mr. J. H. Parry, Peril!wyn, Pwllheli: — The ears were numerous and well-filled, but the ;,iralw yield was not so good as usual. As the district is an earlv one, most of the harvest was gathered i'n before the bad weather. Mr. Griffith Jones, County School, Bot- twnog.—The great majority of the farmers in Llej n had their corn 3n before 'the wea- ther changed, but there were a few here and there who failed, especially in the late districts, towards the southern end the pen,insula. The corn which was out was practically worthless. More than half the grain had been beaten off by the weather, or ea'ten by pe^ts, and what remained on the straw is worth next to nothing, even the straw was beginning to rot. n A few I farmers suffered terribly. I should say that 75 per cent, of the farmers had all their corn in before the weather changed 20 per cent, had \3n0re or lest* their corn destroyed 5 per cent, had all their corn destroyed. destroyed. Mr. Robert Griffith, Cre%ir Goch. Aber- foch: Good crops were gathered in this locality before the wet weather set in. Mr. Daniel Jones, Brynodol, Tydweiiliog J Most of the corn iin t-hw district was under roof before wet weather was experienced, ? but serious loss was caused owing to the j deficient finifehing of the top,, of stacks. A liititJe corn which was out during the I rincilement weather was practically de- etroyed. Mr J. R. Jones, Ty Engan, Sarn.: -The hay crop was, a little under the average, but corn was plentiful, a.nd most of it was garnered before the bad weather. 'Good crops of vegetables were also got, with the exception of mangolds, wh:lCh were rather small. Mr Griffith Evanr- Bryn Ethin, Llan- llechid: Sat isfactory crops were garnered in this district, espe^iallv barley. With two or three exceptions all the farmers had good crops. What loe* there was. was due mainly to the lack of suffic ient hands and effort during the fine weather. Mr. Richarl Evams, Tyddyn Llan, Hen Eglwys: The harvest was one of the best for those who had sown early, but. con- • siderable lo s was caused to others, owhg to the unfavourable weather which set ''n.

& SUFFRAGETTES ROUTED
& SUFFRAGETTES ROUTED DISORDERLY SCENES AT CAR- NARVON. MAYOR ACTS AS PEACEMAKER. The Suffragette meeting at the Guild Hali, Carnarvon, on Saturday night was a memorable one. The meeting was adver- tised to start at 8 o'clock, the speakers being M te Rroladhurst, M.A., and Miss Farquharson. M.A., represent.ug ihe Wo- men's Freedom League. The ladies were well-known to the townspeople, as during I the summer months both addressed a scries of meetings in the square. Those meetings ha.d passed off uneventfully, save for a. littia heckling, and they were only poorly attended. Saturday's proceedings were quite a contrast, for the Guild Hall was packed to overflow-kig.. To be correct, there was plenty of breathing space on the p!latiform, whVh was occupied by the speakers- orfly. ilie audjence was partly hostile and partly friendly but the hostile element wa., by far predominant. The hos- tile party had its. stronghold in the gallery at. the rear of the hall, and it was further strengthened by small sections placed here and there. The opposition had been well or- ganised, and did its work so effectively that neither of the speakers v< ?.*e allowed to utter half a, dozen sentences. "Tli?y are getting what they deserve," said a, leader of the opposition, and another tenant of the gallery, who brandished a big horse- wh.fp, ejaculated the remark tlung at Mr. Churchill at Bristol. "Take that, you brute." This more than pleased h!s com- panions, some of whom laughed and some yelled. Miss Farquharson now e-sayed to address the meeting, but her utterances were drowned 11 the strains of the COLLEGE DITTY, "Si la B: ba, si la si ba;a," and the now famous election song, "LIoydi-George yd- yw r goreu," Miss Broadhurst, who had r.een to her feet, and had taken her posi- tion alongside of her fellow-speaker, regard- ed the affair gravely, but M -s Farquharson appeared to be taking everything :'n lighter vein. The hostile section continued to en- liven the proceedings by giving three cheers to Mr Lloyd George. Til s over, a person in the body qf the ha'il got up on his chair, denounced the actions of the Wo- men's Freedom League at the Bsrmondsey election, and exhorted the occupiers of the gallery to battle. They needed no exhor- tation, for they were coiitliiually keeping up tha attack in one way or the other. "Ju't life tan now, you havei had your say," said AI Farquharson, but the only response to her appeal was the colloquialism Has anybody seen Kelly?" No reply was fortheomJng, land the question was once more repeated. There followed grave sil- ence, and subsequently someone, with more courage than the rest exclaimed: "KoEilly is here." The disorder was new renewed with INCREASED VIGOUR. and the l-ioyd George election song was agaia renaerea, one of the ringleaders vio- iieniiiy be,rutd.16 the ra-il of the gallery as a fcort of accompaniment. At tnis stage" a policeman arr.ued en the scene, and °lis« •i/arqunaiscini made another luutie. attempt to address the meeting, but her remarks wera drowned iUi the uproar. 6he .was un- derstood to say that sue was very pleased to iind :"o much enthusiasm in the meeting, and that eulogistic remarks were beAig made ot Mr. Lloyd George. She was gLad to state that i\i.i-. Li.ioyd George was _n favour of woman s suffrage. Us tlfarqu- harson was now obliged to pau-e as her enemies neld sway witn the mus fc '"For he's a jotly good fallow," and "Lloyd George ydyw r goreu." fhree cheers hav- ing btj'. n accorc.ed to "KcUy." siience pre- vailed, and Mr. W illiam Jones, Crugan, took advantage ot the Q^portunAy to at- tempt to quieten, the rowdue. The very moment he raised hi* hand for silence, the pandemonium ''tureas.od. Volunteering ins serv bee as peacemaker, the Mayor Uiiderman J. T. Roberts), pro- ceeded to the storm centre. He was greeted w,'[.h "For he's a jolly good fellow," but, h(s appeals for quietness were in vain. He evenouaiiiy took hts position on the ■platform, but lils appearance did. not pro- duce the desired etiect. The Majors ex- ample was followed by Alderman R. Parry and othem, v. ho went to the back of 'the gallery, and returned am.dst the strains of the famous "Scspan bach." In response to appeals from the better-behaved se-ction of the audience, the Mayor took h 13 stand a second tine on the platform, and though he plucky stuck to his po-t If or several minutes, all that) he w.as permitted to say was: "I disapprove of your conduct, ill creating a disturbance—.(more singing) none ot you have done more for Mr. Lloyd George than I. To-night you are supplying these women with a good argument, for breaking up meetings elsewhere." (A Vioce: "It is they who have begun," and cheers). Willie this short remonstrance was being delivered by the Mayor, he was the on!y accupant of the. plat/form, the lad fes having retired to an adjacent ante- room at the request of some of their sup- porters, although MjKts Farquharson was very rdluctant over -It. The ladies, how- ever. soon reappeared, and were joined by a man from the audience, whose presence thay sommvhat resented, though it pro- vided a fra h source of amusement to the audience. Miss Farquharson left the plat- form, and on the new-comer taking hie seat at the, table. Miss Broadhurst also quit-ted the platform. Before finally leav- mg the platform one of the Ladies announced that they hoped again to visit Carnarvon to hear more Welsh singing. The proceedings whilch la, ted one hour and threequarters, closed with the, rendering of "Hen WTlad fy Nhadau," and one or two ditt «es. The meeting over, the speakers were un- abla to leave the Hall for some t im"v being afraid of a sect.on of the crowd which awaited outside. They were eventually es- 1 oorted to their hotel by a posse of police accompanied by a large crowd. THE BERMONBSEY ELEOITON. In the course of a chat with a "Herald" representative, Miss Broadhurst saVi this was the worst reception they \lad ever had, and it reflected badly on Welshmen. It had been stated to her that the audience was under the. impression that the Women's Freedom League was respons ible for cer- tain misdemeanours at the Bermoncteey election. Sha admitted that that was the case, but the action of the League was nothing more than a polittal protest. She altso stated 'that it was neither the policy of the Women's Freedom League to inter- rupt meetings nor to follow Cabinet Mitnils- t'erIs- The League was, nevertheless, a militant organisation. The League has a large number of supporters in Carnarvon,
