INFANT LIFE PROTECTION ACT.
INFANT LIFE PROTECTION ACT. A LOCAL CASE. A prosecution instituted by the police was concluded at Conway on Monday, in which Mrs C. Mi. Evans, T'refriw Cottage, James-street, Llandudno, was charged with havdng under her charge two infants without notifying the fact to the clerk of the Conway Board of Guardians. Sergeant Edward Williams said that on Wednesday. March 12th, he called upon Mrs Evans and found two infants there, one two years old and the other four weeks. She informed him that she re- ceived 5s. a week for the maintenance of each. Previously she had had at different times four children to nurse. One had died and the others had been taken away. She stated that she did! not know she should have obtained the consent of the guardians. In cross-examination by Mr Marks, the officer s:ated that Mrs Evans was a. very respectable person, the wife of an em- ploye of the Council, and that she had no children of her own. The two children were, J: the first hearing of the case, brought into the court a*id were shown to be in excellent condition. Mr J. W. Post the deputy clerk to the Conway Guardrians, Avas called, and stated that be tore the date of the summons Mrs Evaps Lai not reported the fact that she had tw infants in her charge as nurse, but she had done so since. She ha.d, how- ever, since written to say that one of them had been taken away. It was not now, therefore, necessary to have the consent of the Guardians. Mr Marks, who appeared for the de- fence, submitted that the Guardians, if they liti adopted the Act, should have prepar-d and published an abstract. As they h Dot done so, he submitted that there m! I be no conviction. Mr James Porter said that Mir Marks was quite right as to the duty of the Guardians, but there was no authority to show that it must be proved in a. prosecu- tion that this duty had been discharged. The c-ae was- adjourned at a former hear- ing because the court thought that it was one th •: the Guardians ought to be familiar with. It was obviously a case for the Guardians. The clerk to the Guard! would be able to say whether the statute had been complied with or not. The police had done all that it was neces- j i I .j* _1ft.ù_cu:J. sary to do in bringing forward the case. The Guardians might have intimated their view in a letter. Superintendent Rees said that. the police considered it their duty, having learnt of the case, to bring it forward. The Chairman (Mr Kneeshaw) said that as the case was the first to come before them under the Act it would be dismissed upon payment of costs. At the same time the Bench approved of the action of the police.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING DEMONSTRATION.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING DEMON- STRATION. An interesting demonstration in fire extinguishing was given on Friday after- ;o noon (3rd inst) in the Council Field, Llan- dudno, by Mr Richard Royle, representa- tive of Henry Simonis and Co., Norfolk House, Norfolk Street, London, W.C, Inventors and Patentees of the Phoenix Fire Extinguisher. For the purpose of the exhibition a number of boxes packed with timber and shavings, over which was thrown two gallons of petrol and one gallon of paraffin oil was set blading. :1 c After the flames had been allowed to get a thorough hold, Supt. Owen of the local Fire Brigade, gave the order to attack, when the demonstrator brought his Patent Phoenix Fire Extinguisher into operation and completely extinguished the fire with the contents of one two-gallon machine much to the satisfaction of everyone pre- sent. We are informed that this machine differs in every respect from any other I, machine on the market, as the makers absolutely dispense with bicarb on of soda, I which tends to corrode the vessel, stop- cocks, and outlets; it also deteriorates by standing, and therefore does not maintain the right fire fighting strength. There is I, no bottle containing sulphuric acid which is dangerous to handle. The Phoenix is discharged by means of a steel cartridge containing liquid car- bonic gas whch is hermetically sealed, and yet at any time controllable, and it does therefore not rely on a chemical proces's for action as all other apparatus wtithout exception do. It has no perisha,ble or ¡ easily breakable part's anywhere, no ho-se, I no rubber or leather washes, no pistons, etc., but all is solid metal. It wll throw I a, jet 45 feet, and over 30' feet high. The Phoenix is very simple to work. I only a turn of a valve being required to j bring the apparatus into action. It is a, ZD splendid first aid appliance, and no Man- sion, Hotel, Boarding-House, Garage, etc. should 'be without same. There is also a special type of machine suitable for carrying on Motor Cars, Motor Buses, etc. We~are informed that the prices are moderate, and that the first outlay is the only cost, as the steel cartridge maintain their chemical strength for any number of years, and when used on actual fires the Company supply recharges free of cost. Mr Royle informs us that in addition to their large Chemical Fire Engines on wheels the small size extinguishers are being carried out for small fires by the London, Liverpool, and Birmingham Fire Brigades. Mr H. Willoughby Lance, Engineering n Contractor and Merchant, 67, Mostyn Street, is agent for this district for the ZD Phoenix. a

I A CARNEGIE ANECDOTE.—Speak- ing at an election meeting at Llandudno on Friday night, Mr William Arnold one I of the candidates, said that whether the I free library which Mr Carnegie was offer- ing to the people of Llandudno was the free library which they wanted, or not, he could not say, but he had been told that Mr Carnegie would not allow billiards or cards to be played inside any litbrary built with his money. But Mr Carnegie him- self was a, good card player. Some year ago, said Mr Arnold, he was crossing the Atlantic, and: on the vessel was ai Mr Car- negie who was stated to be very fond of playing. Mr Arnold himself was a whist player, and a pretty good hand at it, hav- ing been taught to play by a Turkish Jew. —(Laughter.) The Mr Carnegie in ques- tion, through a mutual friend, got to hear of his proficiency, and he was asked to join a party. He did so, and with this Mr Carnegie he played many a friendly j hand, but not a, cent or a farthing was there upon the games. The Mr Carnegie with whom he played was the Mr Car- negie to whom Llandudno would owe its free library.—(Applause.) The great ironmaster was small beer in those days, as he had not then won the millions which he now possessed.—(Applause.) <•> i

'IANGLESEY QUARTER\ SESSIONS.!
'I ANGLESEY QUARTER SESSIONS. The Quarter Sessions for Anglesey were held at Holyhead on Wednesday, Sir Richard Bulkeley presiding. LICENSING BILL. Alderman M'Killopi proposed the fol- lowing resolution:-—"That this Court warmly welcomes the Licensing Bill of the Government as a, comprehensive and just measure of temperance reform; rejoices that it will' bring about a reduction of licences, and secure to the State after the time-limit the -monopoly value conferred upon the licences by the State; that it confers upon the people the power of local veto as to new licences, with large dis- cretionary powers in the hands of the Licensing justices." He said he did not I bring this forward from any political feel- ing it was a question on which they could be unanimous, whatever their politics were. He was led to believe tha,t, there was an overwhelming consensus of opinion iii-i favour of the bill among the bench and the clergy and laity of all de- nominations. After conversation with the Chairman, however, he wished to withdraw the re- solution. On the motion of Mr Hugh Thomas, seconded by Mr S. T'. Chadwick, the scale of charges under the Licensing Act of 1904 was again fixed at the maximum. JUVENILE; OFFENDERS. T'he Chalirman drew the attention of the justices to the merits of the Borstal system for juvenile offenders. Until this system was' established it was the custom to give as short sentences as possible to juveniles, but now it would be of practically no use giving short sentences. He would like the justices to bear in mind this excellent system, and to impose such terms as I would give it an opportunity of changing the character of the young offenders. Mr J. Matthews What should be the minimum 1 The Chairman: I think ssx months should be the shortest. THREE: YEARS" SENTENCE. James Clarke, 49, brass finisher, plead- ed guilty to a charge of stealing a silver watch at Talwrn. Mr S. R. Dew appear- ed to prosecute, and Mr Cyril Jones de- fended. The prisoner had stolen the watch from a farmhouse while the occu- pants were outside. The wateh had not been found. Mr Cyril Jones urged the poverty of the prisoner in extenuation of his offence. The Chairman said that since 1895 there were numerous convic- tions for felony against the prisoner, and a sentence of five years for pocket picking in 1904 was still unexpired. He had a very bad record, and the least they could do was to send him to penal servitude for three years.
ABERYSTWYTH COUNCIL.
ABERYSTWYTH COUNCIL. ANOTIHER RIOTOUS DEBATE. Matters were very lively at a meeting of the Aberystwyth Town Council, held on Tuesday, presided over by the Mayor (Mir C. M. Williams). The question of the appeals again came up on a report of a meeting of a finance committee, at which the treasurer was. authorised to pass certain cheques which the Mayor had declined to sign. The Mayor now maintained that the passing of these cheques was illegal, as they had not been signed by him a,s pre- siding chairman. Alderman Peter Jones said the Mayor was like the Tsar of All the Russias. He seemed to think there was greater authority vested in him than in all the Council put together. The Clerk, in reply to questions, said that in his opinion the meeting was, quite legal. The Mayor, amid great uproar, said he wanted to explain his position. Mr J. Gibson: Let's have the report; we don't want a, speech. The Mayor: You sit clown. Mr J. Gibson And you sit down too, and stop your eternal jawing. The Mayor: Of course you must be offensive. You can't help it. While Mr Samuel was presenting the Committee's report the Mayor interjected a remark. Mr J. Gibson Don't interrupt him. The Mayor There are three, men at the othe end of the table who interrupt more than all the others put together. Alderman Peter Jones: And there is one man at the other end of the table who talks more than a dozen. He is inces- santly twaddling. In the course of further discussion the Mayor said Mr Gibson would not ruffle him. Mr J. Gibson': No, we can't either ruffle or raffle you. Mr F. Morgan Can't we get up a sweep-stake? The Mayor Order, please.—(Loud laughter from Mr Morgan.) M Daniel Thomas intervened at another point when Mr Gibson interrupted the Mayor, and asked him to observe order. Mr J. Gibson (to Mr Thomas): You would be a bully if you could. But you can't. The Mayor: Why should you use language of that kind towards a fellow- member? Mr J.- Gibson: He has called me a black-guard before to-day. He is a milk and water bully. The Mayor said with three members at the end of the table laughing and jeering it was impossible to conduct the business. properly. M!r F. Morgan: It is good for you. to know that someone can stand up to you:, and make you, sit down. Mr J. Gibson, who had left his seat at the table to stand by the fire, kept up a, running attack of interjections. The Mayor said he should resume his seat. Mr J. Gibson I can stand up. if I like. The Mayor: Very well, I don't mind. Mr J. Gibson And we don't want- your damned interference everywhere.—(Sensa- tion.) T'he Mayor: Really, this language is disgraceful. y I'll0 Mr J. Gibson (excitedly) You have no business to interfere. We will have to ask you to breathe belore long. The discussion was continued in this stra,in for a long time, and when the last item but one on the agenda, was reached, and the Council had sat for three hours, one half the members left.
A BELATED, ARREST1.
A BELATED, ARREST1. Samuel Williams was put in the dock at the Conway Police Court on Monday charged on a warrant issued on July 3rd, 1889. The warrant was issued owing to, his non-appearance in response to a, sum- mons for having: been drunk and disorder- ly. Since the commission of the offence the young man had joined the Cheshire Regiment. He went abroad, and had re- cently returned. Four days ago he was given the sum of £ 9, every penny of which, Superintendent Rees said, had been spent before last Sa,turday night. The Superintendent thought it the best thing to bring him up on the old warrant to save him getting into further trouble. The man had got a good discharge from the army. The Chairman (Mr Kneeshaw) said it was very distressing to see that a man who had evidently done his duty in the army should have been so foolish, and the Bench hoped he would' take warning. Williams was then discharged on payment of the costs.
