A MOTOR SENSATION The Maxwell Motor Car Co. luive Ja<:ed upon the market an 18-22 h.p. ihe seater car which is v. revelation to the motor world, For design, finish and reliability it is equal to any car at double its price, The price of the Mas- Well Oar fully equipped is £185, and that such a car should win a test like the Mount Falcon Hill climb is an ac- hievement worthy of note. The Max- well entered for this ooaitest was a stan- dard 1914 five seater touring car, and accomplished tho climb in 11 minutes, 32 2-6 seconds, beating the second by it minutes, 10 seconds, and the third by (j ma mites, 10 seconds. Mount Falcon Donv-er is one of America's most famous trial hills, and is considered the hardest and most hazard- ous as well as the finest test hall in the, world. The road over which the con- test ran is 3,000 foet above Mount Mor- rison. It is built zigzag up thie moun- tain, and when one readies the top the road can bo seen in six places. It is of interest to note that the contest was attended by a very exciting incident. The fallowing extract from the "Denver Post" clescribee the aqventnre "After a narrow escape from a dash to death while halfway up the accent, W. B, Turner, of New York, a noted auto- nroiale driver, covered the three an/1 ono half mile Mou-ni FaJcon Hill climb comae yesterday with an 18-22 h.p. Maxwell in 11 minutes, 32 and 2-5 seconds, winning first prize in the con- test and practically cutting in halt the s, best time nreriaiisiy recorded for the Mount Falcon course- -22 lllinU. The elimbane; contest w:M held by the Denver Motor C'htb, under the sanction oi the American Automobile Association. Th.c course is one of the most difficult to negotiate that can be found in the UnAed States, the o^rade from tJK- b?<ao to the summit orf Mount Falcon rea?i- ing at some points as high as 20 per pout. The near accident, which startled the many observers at the club- bouse, occurred at a sharp right hand turn about halfway to the summit of the mountain. At thas point Turner put on such a burst of speed that the hind wheels of the car skidded off tli., road, one of the wheels dropping over the edge of the declivity, thrJ bottom of which was more than 1,500 foet below. Instinctively K W. Swivnborough, of Denver, who rode with Turner, throv his weight tofward the bill, thus balan- cing the machine for the fraction of a ct the car took it far enongh round, to regain the road, the car not stopping an instant, ft was an exciting moment for the on- lookers a-, well as for the rccupa-uts of j tho automobile. Turner himself said it was the nearest approach to a violent doath that ii,, had ever encountered in kbe course of his career."

I HOUSES FOR THE POOR. II SHOULD WORKING MEN BE PROVIDED WITH GARDENS. I HOUSING CONFERENCE. When the Housing 3.11d Town Plan- ning Conference was resumed at Llan- elly on Tuesday afternoon, a memoaan- dwn by Mr. Haralcl J.P., r upon the designing and construction of workmen's cotages in urban area under Town Planning Schemes was introduced for discussion. The suggestion of the writer was that 110/ more than twelve houses should be built to the acre. The secretary (Mr. Aldridge) drew attention to tins. Mr. J. H. Mon%omjery (deputy sur- veyor to the Llanelly Corporation) said that to lay down a maximum of twelve houses to the urea was unwise. The number was too small. The Llanelly authority had two schemes no« in hind and each allowed for IS houses to the acre. This number was better in urban districts where big gardens were not cultivated as they were in rural districts. Mr. Thos. Jones, of the Stepney Estate, Llanelly, had submitted plans for 100 houses in Llanelly. giving only nine houses to the acre, but the clase of house would be one of zC400 each. People taking them, therefore, would be able to employ a man to look after the garden. He did not think, however, they could get working men to look after gardens softer a hard day's work. I nor easing Death Rate. I Dr. Cunningham Bowie, Cardiff, said bhat lic-i-e the number of houses to the acre was increased, the death rate had also increased. During the last six months at Cardiff there had been 275 oollsumptivoo notified; more than half of them were living in houses not only where the cottages were 50 and 60 to the acre, but where there were also two and three families living in each cottage. He would deprecate any schump which would allow more than twelve or four- teen houses to the acre. If people did not choose to cultivate the gardens then they should leave them as open spaces for their children Mr. Thomas Jones, said it was useless to give the tinpTater a large garden because it would be really dangerous for him after perspiring all day to work in the garden in the even- ing. Therefore he was of the opinion that 5t would bo better to give the t-inplater a smaller garden and then grve a joint open upace for the children of the neighbourhood in every district. A Small Maximum. I Councillor J. L. Jones, LlanelJv, was also of the opinion that twelve houses to the acre was a small maximum. The Llanelly Council had lately built 18 houses to the acre, and were letting them at 5s. 8d. per week -rent. TbQ Chairman said that at Swansea there %is a .scheme in hand for erect- ing 500 houses, giving 15 to the acre. Rev. J. D. Hughes (St. Dogmaeis) referred to the necessity of educating people to leave off the custom of living in the smaller rooms of the house. In Glamorganshire, for instance, especially up the Rhoodda and Aberdare Valleys, the people kept what they called a "room porch" -a respected room"—which they seldom entered all the year round except for cleaning pur- poses. and generally.speaking that room was the bet-t room in the house. At a Loss. I A memorandum by Mr. Henry R. Aldridge, the seeretirrv upon the fixing I of r entt, for cottages ej ected by local authorities under tho Housing Acts, 1390-1909, was then discussed. During the di»cua«4ori, Mr. Aldridge remarked that they had long since t recognised that they could only deal ,i-t.b tila housing, ox the koot. a lo&a..

OE8T DECREASING. DEBT DECREASINC. I GRATIFYING RESPONSE TO SWANSEA HOSPITAL APPEALS. FINANCIAL POSITION. I The monthly meeting of the SAv I sI c. iI Hospital Hoard of Management was held to-day, Col. W. LL Morgan presid- mg. The House Committee reported that the Clerk or the Works It an submitted j an estimate oi £ 17 10s. for a new coal house to be erected in the area behind the nurses' home. The Board decided to invite tenders for the work, and that the House Com- mittee use their discretion as to whether a tender was accepted or not. The Reception Committee reported that during the week ended March l/th,)( 50 patients had been admitted and dis- charged, the total remaining being 157. The applications on waiting list numbered 130, and there were 19 patients in the Convalescent Home. Debt Reduced. Mr. H. Goldberg, in moving the adop- ) tion of the Finance Committee' & report said he was very pleased to say the debt on the hospital had been very ap-, preeiablv reduced. The building debt; had been reduced to £ 7,265, and on general account the debit was about the Sallie as a year ago. The receipts of 1;1,068 for February on account of building fund included £ 600 from Miss Talbot, £ 300 from Mr. Aeron Thomas and family, £ 131 5s. from the Gas Co., 25 guineas from Mr. J. Williams, and tlOdonatioll previously promised. H4 hoped within the next few months there would be a much more appreciable reduction. He thought it would be interesting to the Board if he gave a few comparative figures. There had been an increase in I revenue to date in subscriptions and donations of £ 811 as compared with the corresponding period of last year, and under the heading of employes contri- butions an increase of £ 701, making an increase up-to-date on the current year of (Applause.) When. how- ever, they remembered this included the generous donation of £ 500 from Mr. Kccles, the actual increase was only £ 1.000. Then on the other side they had increased expenditure to-day of £ £ 00, and last year there had been an increase of £ 800 on the expenditure of the preceding -ear, and that notwith- standing tho immense benefit they re- ceived from the Linen Guild, so that they had to be cautious in their expendi- ture or they would yet find themselves on the wrong side at the end of the year. Generous Kilian Colliers. I Mr. W. W. Holmes said, as one of the proprietors of the Killan Collieries, he had approached the workmen and told them that if they would contribute £ 50 yearly, the owners of the colliery would contribute another £ 25 to maintain a bed in the Ho:;pitaL He was pleased to inform them that not eo. tily had the men fallen in with the proposal, but they had suggested that they would contri- but one penny per week each, and a half-penny for each boy. (Applause.) This meant that they would subscribe the full amount to maintain a bed, and they suggested, as a sort of a condition, that the bed should be identified as a Killan Colliery bed. He hoped this example would be followed at othetl work". (Applause.) The Chairman said they were much obliged for the kind offer, which they fully appreciated The report of the Finance Committee was adopted.

WHY DOCTORS NO LONGER CLAIM TO CURE PEOPLT. A few years ago it was a common. thincr for the family doctor to say "I will cure you in a few days." This rf it], prophecy often gave the patient new hope and courage, but it is no longer good form. Doctors still "cure" malaria and a few other troubles in which their medicines have a direct or "specific" action on the virus of the disease. In other cases they simply give supporting medicine and keep up the strength of the patient until nature effects a cure. Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills cure anaynia, chlorosis, and other troubles due to thin blood, because these pills have a specific action on the blood, building it up, purifying and enriching it. The direct action on the blood ako makes them the best supporting and strengthening medicine. If you are thin and weak, breathless after slight exertion, if yon have palpitation of the heart, gas on the stomach, cold hands and feet, if you are nervous and easily irritated, and s how other signs of weakened vitality, try these strengthening Pills at once and let the rich. red blood cure you.

SWANSEA'S QUOTA. I SPIRITED EFFORT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR I NATIONAL LIBRARY. t The new Welsh National Library at Aberystwyth is to cost for building £ 106,000, and the Treasury have pro- mised a grant of £ 1 for every £ 1 con- tributed up to April 5. Towards that sum -of L.50,000, over £ 30,000 have been contributed, leaving a balance of £ 15,000 to find if the full benefit of the grant is to be obtained. That is what local committees are now everywhere combining to realise. The Swansea Committee metl act even- ing under the presidency of Mr. James, and Mr. Roderick reported progress. A sum of £12.t is in h.1nd. Newspapers had opened funds, but the response had not been great. The Swaxisea Labour Association unanimously en- dorsed the idea of a shilling fund, and suggested tha.t a general appeal be issued to trades unionists. Favourable replies had been received from officials of various trades unions. Mr. Alf James and Mr. Rd. Martin were appointed as deputation to the Chamber of Commerce next Friday, as the Mayor and Town Clerk will bf away. It. wofi reisolved that Mr. Lleufer Thomas be asked for a full report of the results of his recent itinerary among local people, and the promises I secured, with a viey to carrying out tho object in view. Personal Appeals. I A long list of local people was made out, eac h of wh om it was believed were ,i lD a position a<nd atem had the desire to help materially. It was decided that there should be submitted to the Mayor, who will be a&ked to select suitable per- sons to privately interview these differ- ent persons. Mr. Morgan Tutton had strongly urged that if in each instance there was the correct link of sympathy between the- applicant and tlx.* oxpect-ed donor, the results would lIe very much Tletter.

PATHETIC LETTERS. 1 LLAHELLY CLERK'S FEARS OF INSANTTY LEADS TO SUICIDE. A CLOUDED LIFE. I Pathetic- farewell messages were read at the inquest held at Llanelly on Tues- day evening on the body of Jack 1/ewis. Coldstream-street, Llanelly, who ii a, employed as an invoicing clerk at the Swansea offices of the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway Company. His body was founed on the previous day in the Old Castle Pond. Detective-sergeant Hodge Lewis sa i<l he dragged the Old Castle Pond with grappling irons and discovered the body about 2.30 p.m. There were no marks of violence. Deceased was fully dressed with the exception of his cap. At the fcpot where deceased WHS found the water was nine feet deep. On the bank witness found cleeeaæd's overcoat rnd cap. In the overcoat wc"c n bottle of medicine and a number of pieces of paper with \HJhng on them. Farewell Letters, I The Coroner then rest-d I cations. The first- one was to deeoajaed's sitter. The fin-t few words in the first message were not legible, but the mes- sage continued "That is wlwt has driven me tuii<l, I know the rv»u lt would he confinemeffc in a lunatic asylum, as I cannot x x x x x oi my mind: Better death than to have a half lunatic brother and a motlier to have a half mad non Miiy nod forgive mo for what ) am doing but I believe it is for the best. The intense agonv of mind- ] have had diiring the last. thrN." months hai driven me mad. The £ 50 is few mother and yourself. Do as you think host with the clothes and other things. God bless you, from your broken- hearted Jack." The Coroner: A very pathetic docu- ment, gentlemen. In the second letter, also addressed to the sister, docea-sed wrote: "There is a kink in my brain which will never come cut. The agony during the last few months has been indescribable. Good-bye." Glancing over the third letter, the Coroner said lie could not make any- thing of it. It, however, closed with the words. "God may forgive me what I am about to do. The worry and aguny in my brain is driving me mad." Another message ran: "I do not want to he incarcerated in a lunatic asylum, for that would be the end of it. I have something which won't part in the. brain. It is a sort of kink, which is driving me in- sane. That is why I must end it." There were other messages to the same effect addressed to his mother and sister, in one of which deceased wrote, "Good bye, God bless you." A Nervous Breakdown. I Dr. ]). J. Williams said the cause of I death was asphyxia, due to drowning. He had attended deceased for the greater part of nine months, and last saw him alive on Sunday at about eleven o'clock. Deceased had been suffering from middle-ear disease. About six weeks ago he had had an attack of influenza. Deceased was suffering from a nervous breakdown, and had complained of want of sleep. Witness prescribed for him, the bottle of medicine was from his surgery. From his last examination of deceased, witness thought there was a, nervous and mental addition which threatened to unhinge deceased's mind. There was no doubt that that addition had become aggravated, and had resulted in this act. On Sunday witness had spoken seriously to the deceased, and told him not to give way to his nervous attacks. The jury returned a verdict of "death from drowning, and that deceased not being of sound mind, did kill himself."

The execution took place at Cardiff Prison this morning, of Edgar Lewis Bindon, who was sentenced to death at the Glamorgan Assizes for the murder of his sweetheart, Matid Mulholland, hy shooting her in C»nton-lane5 on I\nvonib,,t- d. To avoid as much a-s possible any reason for a crowd collecting outside the prison, there wu* no black flag hoisted nor bell tolled, and it was ab- solutely impossible to see the execu- tion from any point outside the walls. James Hany Rindoll, ihe elder brother, accompanied bv hi." cousin and a friend, went to the prison on Tuesday to have a final interview- and to say "Good-oye," but received a message that the condemned man did not wish to see anybody. On the stinc, (lily the Rev. G. O. Roberts, who confirmed Edgar Lewis Bindon, went at the request of Mrs. Bindon, the mother to convey a message from her to the prisoner, but he also failed to obtain an interview., receiving a similar reply. Yesterday it was said that Bindon was in a state bordering on collapse, and had been weakened by a series of epileptic fits. fjlli.s a.nd IVKS assistant Willis, who curried out a death sentence at Durban yesterday morning, travelled down tç Cardiff latej- in the day, and were the executioners tins morning.

WOUNDS ON THE HEAD. GORSEINON LODGER'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN BEDROOM. A tragic discovery was made by two men at Goraeinon this morning, the dead body of a companion named Harry Davies, aged 39 years, who lodged at Û, Glanrhvd-terraee, Gorseinon, being found uuder remarkable and mysterious circumstances. At about a quarter to twelve last night, Davies went to bed m company with another lodger. He was then apparently in his usual health. On rising, prior to going to work this morning, at about five o'clock, the other lodger, Samuel Roberts, found Davies in a kneeling position against the bed. On the lfoor was a pool of blood, and there were wounds on his head. There was a cut over the eye, and an injury to the temple. Dr. MacPherson. tho assistant of Dr. Mitchell, of Gorseinon, was called to the house, but he could do nothing as life was extinct The County Coroner has been notified of the occurrence, and an inquest will be held to-morrow. Fnurtured Skull, Later inquiries slio". that Davies* had fractured his skull, and it is presumed tha.t he sustained his injury by falling out of bed and striiiijig an article of furniture.

TEMPLE-ST CORNER. ————— LIKELIHOOD OF ARRANGEMENT WITH BANK DIREGIORS. As. exclusively announced in tlie earlier editions of the Leader" on Tuesday, a conference took place in London on Tuesday between a deputa- tion representing the Swansea Corpora- tion and directors of the Capital and Counties Hank on the question of the Temple-street improvement scheme. The Corporation deputation consisted of the Mayor (Alderman T. T. Corker, J.P.), Aldermau T. Merrells, J.P., and Councillor D. J. Davies, J.P. (chairman and vice-chairman of the Highways Committee), Alderman David Matthews, J.P. (Chairman of tho Parliamentary and General Purposes Committee), and the Town Clerk ("[r. H. Lang Coath). Pending the special meeting of the Council, which has been summoned for Thursday afternoon, to discuss the ques- tion, it is naturally difficult to get in- formation regard ing what- took place at the conference, as on a matter which is fraught with such importance both as regards finance and the progress of the town, it is obvious that the negotiations should not lie imperilled by any pre- mature disclosure. The Deader" is, however, in a position to state authoritatively, that iresh proposals have been made by the baflk directors, and that, is a result of the meeting yesterday, there is every reason to hope that the negotiations will terminate successfully. At any rate, we understand that the deputation will be able to submit to the Council re- commendations to which the Council can listen sympathetically, and with a reasonable hope of them proving the basis of a satisfactory agreement.

Among those who have promised to take part in the annnal meetings of the Home Counties Liberal Federation at Worthing on Friday arc Mr. Walter Runcimano, tho Marquis of Lincoln- shire, K.G., Lord Saye and Sele, Mr. F. Kellawav, M.P., Mr. Cecil Beck, M.P., Mr. Hector Morison, M.P.. and a number of the Liberal candidates in the Home Counties.

The officers are' of the unanimous opinion that further information is essential before they are called upon at such short notice to take decisions so vitally affecting theill VI-liole ctiture, and especially that -a clear defi- nition be given of the terms "duty as ordered 'and active operations in Ulster. If such duty consists of the preservation of propertyv all the officers in this brigade, including myself, would he prepared to carry out that duty, but if the duty involves the iiiitia-tion of active operations against Ulster, the following numbers of officers (by regi- ments) would respect-fully and under protest prefer to be dismissed:— Brigade Staff.-2 officer, 4th HUd- sars 17 out of 19 doing duty. 5th laucers.-17 out of 20 doing duty. 3rd Brigade Royal Tiorse Artillery.— 6 out of 13 doing duty, including R.M. 4th Field Troop R.E.-Noiae out of 1 doing duty.

I The following is a copy of a letter from Brig^Sier-General H. P. Gbugh, C.B., to the Adjutant-General 23rd March, 1914. Dear General,—On thinking over the points raised by the Secretary of State this morning, a question has aximln in ray mind—and it will undoubtedly be one of the first questions asked me by my officers when I see them—nameJy ] n the event of the present Home Rule Bill becoming law, can we be called upon to enforce it on* Ulster under the expression of maintaining law and order? Thi-s. pqint should be made quite clear in jour draft letter, other- wise there will be renewed misconcep- tions. Yours sincerely, (Signed), H. P. Cough. To Brigadier-General H. de la P. Cough, C.B. You i Ate authorised by the Army Council to inform the otiicers of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade that the Army Council are eatishod that the incident which has arisen in regard to their resignations has been duo to a mis- understanding. It is the duty of all soldiers to obey lawful commands given to them through the proper channels by the Army Council, either for the protec- tion of public property and the support of the Civil Power in the event of dis- turbances, or for the protection of the iives and property of the inhabitants. This is the only point it was intended to put to tilf officers in the questions of the General Officer Commanding and the Army Council have been glad to learn from you that there never has been, and never will be in the Brigade any question of disobeying such lawful orders. His Majesty's Government must retain their right to use all the I forces of the Crown in Ireland, or olse- where, to maintain law and order, and to support the Civil Power in the ordinary execution of its duty, but they have no intention whatever of taking advantage of this right to crush political opposition to the policy of the principles of the Home Rule Bill.
