LOSS TO THE FORCE
LOSS TO THE FORCE MAGISTRATES' REFERENCES TO RETiREiNC I.C. lONSTAsLE, At the Swansea Police Court to-day, Mr. A. H. Thomas, the chairman of the Bench, stated that he had read with great interest in the local Press the kind remarks of the borough justices on the retirement of ex-Superintendent Giil. On behalf of the County justices he had therefore great pleasure in stating that he had always known Mr. Gill as an ex- cellent officer and a gentleman. It was rather a pity that Mr. Gill should have retired, as he was a great loss to the Swansea Police Force. However," said Mr. Thomas, "I wish him the hest I 1 of health, and may he live many years to enjoy his well earned retirement." Mr. J. H. Rosser, in endorsing his brother justice's statement, said that he had very much pleasure in doing :?o. He had always known Mr. Gill as al thorough gentleman. He used to tell me that he had seen me courting," said Mr. Rosssr, and that must be at least thirty-five years ago." Major Morris and Mr. S. L. Gregot also spoke. Referring to the departure of Sister Spencer, Mr. A. H. Thomas said that he did not know really whether to be pleased or sorry at her retirement. She had been, during her stay at the court, a help to parents, children, women and j girls, giving them the best possible ad- vice. He wished her much happiness in her married life. The other magistrates endorsed these expressions.

I HOUSEHOLDERS BEWARE.
I HOUSEHOLDERS BEWARE. II MORE MODERN ASH BUCKETS REpREI U SWANSEI. I (Special to the Leader.") The ash-buckets of the past and of the present-—decrepit buckets, broken-down cheese-boxes, superannuated bath tubs, filled with ashes, bones, potatoes, peel and cabbage stumps, have had their day. Soon they will cease to be. The point is this, said Dr. Evans, the Swansea Memcal Officer of Health, that under Section 80 of the Swansea Cor- poration ?et, 1912: the l^iporaiion may, by notice in writing, require,? owners and occupiers of any dwelling house, warehouse, or shop to provide galvanised iron or enamelled dust pans, in lieu of ashpits and ash tubs or other receptacles for refuse and such pans shall be of such size and construction as may be approved by the Corporation. Corporation's Pswer. ) W e have the power, therefore, to! I decide what sort of receptacles shall 00" I employed for the deposit of refuse. Now, in my ppinion, it is advisable that some better means should be used than is at present The importance of this was, he pointed out, evident net so much in the streets, as in the back yards. It is, he said, very im- portant that all refuse should be covered, because of the smell, and especi- ally because of the rapid day when exposed to the atmosphere. There wa.s a greater nuisance from the storage of refuse than anything else. Back Yard Dangers. If the refuse remains uncovered, it gives opportunity for flies to deposit there and then travel from there on to the meat in the cupboards, or the milk. and carry germs from refuse to the food that people eat. If we insist on a proper covering, that could not happen," said the Medical Officer. It is most important in summer; but important at all times of the year." he added. The doctor, who has. been instructed by th" Health Committee to think the thing out, and report to the next meeting, proceeded to lay down the essentials of a well-regulated ash bucket. It must be covered it mu-st be of such strength that it cannot easily be turned over; and it must not be of a very large size. It is important that the covering should be securely attached, and that the receptable should have a handle. The above may give the householders an idea of the kind of ash-bucket which I it is dead certain will be shortly insisted on by bye-laws of the Swansea Corpora- tion. Forewarned is forearmed.

Of the two clubs, the former have had a harder struggle to l'eh. this stage, and great import- ance was laid upon that feat, for it proved to the supporters that the club has strong cup lighting powers. Both sides were strongly represented to-day, but Jn the home side Nicholas (the captain) had to stand-down. This gave place to Gleverley, while in the forward lino Messer was dhosen before Mayo. The right wing man had not been sbow- ing good form in the la.st two matches, and a section of the supporters were of the opinion th-at Mayo would have been a better selection. Excitement ruled high in Swansea early this morning over the Swansea Town and Merthyr Town match. Colours were seen flying in all directions, and at 10.30 the first excursion from Ierthvr arrived at High-street Station. Theye were about 500 passengers, all of whom were wearing red and green rosettes, with the words "Play up, Merthyr." Even ladies were alive to the mfoment, and ties representing both clubs were to be seen. Over 1,000 Ilerthyr supporters came into the town via the East Dock Sta- tion. The first train came in about 12.30. whilst others followed at 1.20. Nothing, not even the weather, could damp the ardour of the crowd. The first shout heard when the trains drew up at the platform was "Play up the Town. Red and Green rosetteis, etc., were to be seen on every man. One or two enthusiasts wore two or three vards of ribbon flying from the button-holes, whilst another wore a rosette at the side of his felt hat which covered the hat from view on that side. A large number of ladies were also in the train. When going along Fabian-street, snatches of football songs were to be heard, and an amateur hawker was heard to be calling out "Mourning cards for Swansea." Altogether the crowd was in a very cheerful and good tempered mood, which promised well for the afternoon. The Ground. Despite the heavy rains experienced this week, the ground was in surpris- ingly good condition, although natur- ally, on the soft side. There was every indication at ope o'clock that there would be a record gate, and by 1.45 the banks and stand were filling rapidly. A message had been received from Sir JohnT Dillwyn-Llewellyn, Bart., ex- pressing regret at his inability to ate tend. Songs were freely indulged in on the cheap side, and 'colours and rattles were vew much in evidence. The teams were Swansea Town. Storey Allman Cleverley Duffy, Bassett, Cubberlev Mssser Greer Andersen Weir ■ o Holt McKie I Taylor Kirby Lawrence Gates Metcalf l Churehul McCormack Ruseell Barrows. Merthyr Town. pefcree_„Mr. A. H. Oakley, of Wol- verhampton. The crowd continued to flock in in large numbers, :and excitement was ruling exceedingly high. At 2.15 there were about 7,000 present, and it was evident by the rush that there would be a record gate. When Duffy led hIS men out at 2.20 they were received well ,and had to face the camera. Merthyr. followed a minute later, -and they also came in for an ovation. At the start there were about 13,000 pre- sent. THE CAME. Merthyr won the toss and decided to kick towards the t-o"n end. From the start Swansea pressed and through Duffy, Anderson got possession. ho passed to Weir, who headed to Ball, j The inside man fed his partner, and centred, but .i.ormaiok cleared in fine style j From the clearance in fact the visitors right wing sailed away, and Cleverley had his wor k cut out to (Send to touch. Still pressing, Merthyr forced a corner off Cubberley, and from the maite which resulted Gates .shot wide. The goal kick ,saw work being carried on on Swansea's right. It was not evciting, but enthusiasm ruled high when Duffy started what proved to bo a bombardment on Merthyr's goal.; Weir came into much prominence by sending a. flying pass to Greer. The wing man si-ict, Burrows saving with Ball hotly on his track. Still Swansea attacked, and Burrows cleared another hot shot. The home forwards were adapting themselves wl to circum- stances, although Cubberley mad e a mis- take. The error wa.s roon righted, and from another attack Ball APPEALED FRUITLESSLY for a foul near the penalty area. Mid-I field play, and then Merthyr through Churchill mis-kicking, had to fall back again. Weir sent to Greer, but the latter' shpt at long range was not hard enough. Turning defence into at-, tack, Merthyr oame into the picture' with brilliant football. Holt put his forward a well on the line, and a melee resulted,, in which Storey kicked out. Metcalf got hold, and put in a light- ning shot, which hit the cross-bar and bounced out. Swansea's goal was now in danger, and shots were constantly being put in, but ultimately Lawrence ended all by .shooting over the-goal line. The game v.as being fought -c at a remarkable pace, and within the next few minutes Swansea were working hard at the other end. Messer put across a beautiful centre, but there were no forwards there to meet it. After this end.* were visited frequently, and cnce, more Holt ran Cleverley for a eonner.1 The kick vyi-s cleared by "borim. aadj < Greer, getting pc&seio-n, paesed to the, centre. The leather went too far. Burrows ran out and cleared while J MoC-ormack held Weir. Holt was proving a dangerous man for Merthyr, and constantly it was Tie who was | putting Merthyr to such advantage.] .Excitement continued to rule at fever, height, and the usual CUP-TIE FOOTBALL ¡was freely indulged in. Kick and rush i poiic\ was ahead of combination. Merthyr were having quite a& much of the game ae t heir opponents, and it was they who had the most chances. i Travelling dewn on the left wing, Greer tricked two of his Opponents and touched to Bail. The leather, however, went over, and the referee gave a goal kick, although a corner was asked for. At the other end Allman cleared from the feet of two opponents, and Messer was made to run for the pass. Russell got there first, and sent to touch. Pretty work by Duffr and Anderson in j mid-field was appreciated, but Messer failed in his attempt to utilise the pass. Gradually Merthyr were working their way to the Swansea, goal. AUman cleared partially and a foul Was given against Churchill. From the kick the side presed and forced a corner. Greer PLACED NICELY, I and Bassett forced Burrows to save with his hands. A fruitless attack by Swan- sea, and then Merthyr got away. Cleverley was easily beaten, and the ball rolled dangerously towards Storey. Holt and McKie raced for possession with Duffv with them. The Swansea! man happened to get there first, and; cleared what would otherwise have been a goal. Playing the one-back game, Merthyr handicapped the home .side considerably, en Ball was pulled up for being offsid?, when scarcely out of his line. Another attack by Swansea saw Messer put in a swinging centre across the goalmouth. Greer, however. could not recover before the leather went out of touch. Mid-field play, in which Swansea were at a disadvantage, was indulged in, and when the visitors attacked Kirby shot wide. Swansea's defence was standing the strain well, and at three o'clock it seemed ds though a score would be opened. Greer pro- vided a beautiful opportunity by send- ing to Weir, who let go to Anderson, The sido man ran through and shot, but 1 the ball hit the npright and went over. It was A GLOROUS EFFORT and' created some remarkable scenes of excitement. Merthyr kept up the pressure, and forced a cornei*, i but nothing resulted. Although the ground was. on ths heavy 8ide, the game was being fought out at a veryi fast pace. Both « ideF wera evenly matched, and once again Swansea, pfo- vided spick play. Greoc, from a run down, sent to Weir, who headed, and made Burrows tip over the bar. Fromj the corn?T Ball headed a glorious goal 3.5 Excitement proved remarkable, and upon the resumption Merthyr all but I equa lised when Lawrence shot wide by inches. The crowd ya-s simply yelling, and Greer ran Burrows easily for the] leather. He brought the leather in well i from his centre. Billie Ball headed the second goal. This happened within three minutes of the first goal, and Give it Bailie!" was simply filling the ground from the spectators. Merthyr tfied hard to re- duce the lead and Lawrence was proving dangerous with h's shots. McKie, too, shot into Storey's arms. The swinging passes of the home forwards were glorious to watch, and really proved too hot for the Merthyr defence. Once aga.in Merthyr got going through Met- calfe, who touched to McKie. The centre forwards transferroo to Law- rence, who breaking through leaked. all the way a scorer. Half-time— Swansea Town-2 goals. Merthyr Town-Nil. I "SPORTING NEWS." I The gan^t will be fully described and illustrated in the "Sporting News" to- night. LLANELLY v. SWANSEA. Stradey was the venue of the tussle between "Llanelly and Swansea, to-day. [For about twelve years the latter have not only defeated the Scarlet* re- peatedly, but. have escaped defeat at their hands. This is a remarkable achievement, and with such a sequence Iloï successes it is not surprising to find the vast majority having alrat?' aban- doned all hope of Llanelly winning. Among a section, however, a feeling of optimism springs up continually, their motto presumably being 'Nil Desperan- idum. ■ Such faith has not been, alto- gether unwarranted, because instances could easily be recalled when the Scar- lets deserved victory even though they failed to secure it.. Notwithstanding all Llanelly's reverses and their inability to register a. win, Swansea- have ever been, and continue to be, welcome visi- tors to the tinplat.e town. Time was when feeling was roused to such a pitch that the rivalry bordered on something worse, hut of late friendly rivalry has manifested itself, and the games have in consequence been more intei-e,ting to true lovers of sport. Last ,sea,son they met on two occasions, one game resulting in a. draw and the other in a victory for Swansea. The former was played at Swansea, and it is interesting to recall that in it Harold Thomas, the Llanelly custodian, only found touch on four occasions, but in fairness to him it should be explained that he injured his ankle early in the game. These teams did not meet again until April 23rd—the very end of the1 season. They were to have tried con- clusions at St. Helens in January, but i owing to the flooding of the ground the game- was postponed. As already indh cated, it was eventually played on April 23rd, but the weather was so tem- pestuous that only from 300 to 400 per-j sons braved the elements. Swansea's tries en that occasion were scored by George Hayward and D. Williams, one of which was converted by Bancroft. i For this season three fixture.s have; been arranged, and the Llanelly C-OM-1 mittee hope that by next season the number will be int-rea.sed to four. The teams have already met once this season. The game which wa-s played at St. Helens resulted in the All Whites winning by the narrow margin of ten points to six. Bancroft on i-his occa- ion did some wonderful kicking, scor- ing for his side one dropped goal, one pehalty goal and one goal from a mark. By the way there was such a revival of interest is the contest between these two teams that the atendance numbered 16,000 on hat occasion. Unfortunately for to-day's encounter the rain that fell on the preceding days made the ground soft, and in parts muddy. The injury sustained by Dai Lewis in the match against Cardiff rendered a change neces- sary on Llantjlly's wing, and Dai Thomas, of Hendy, who earlier in the seasou played at outside-half for the Scarlets, was selected for the position.

THE BASUTO IRISING.. *
THE BASUTO RISING. I PANDEMONIUM. NAT VE ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN I KICKED TO DEATH. I DESPERATE FIGHT. Further details of the rising of "hoyoS," or native miners, at Jagers- fontein, which is reported on Page 1, are contained in the following tele- gram :— J agersfontein, Saturday.—Boys at Jagersiontein Mine refused to go to work yesterday, and, arming them^ves with ail manner of implements, at- tacked all the Whites within reach. The trouble arose through the death of one Basuto, the result, it is alleged, of a, kick by a white man. The Basutos j demanded the arrest of the white man. Mr. Nesbit, the company manager, en- i deavoured to allay the teeiings of the Basutos, saying the matter was in hands of the police, and witnesses would be summoned, but his efforts were unavailing. The Basutos rushed the Tunnel House forcing all the whites to take refuge in the tunnel. The Basutos then wrecked everything within reach, in- cluding the compound, and took money intended for their wages, and also for ¡ the wages of the white employes. Whites Arm Themselves. Meanwhile the alarm was raised. All the whites armed themselves with rifles, shot-guns, and every available .weapon. Mr. Vebel1, the general manager, and II other officials, at great personal risk, entered the compound unarmed, and endeavoured to pacify the Basutos. At one time the natives seemed disposed to cease rioting, and the armed whites were instructed to disperse, but the order had to be quickly countermanded, for the Basutos broke out again, and pandemonium reigned. i They tore down the fences of the com- pound and rushed out, with the evident intention of storming the town. The armed whites, however, were able, by making a circuit, to intercept them, and then fighting began. Meanwhile a section of the whites re- lieved those who were besieged in the old building near the compound. I Frenzied Natives. The Basutos appeared to have become frenzied, and persistenly endeavoured to rush down to the town, where the women and children would have been at their mercy, and the whites were com- pelled to fire each *time an attempt v as made. Tho Basutos were eventually driven hack, with difficulty, to the compounds and huts, and doctors attended the wounded—-whites and blacks.
