I SAD SWANSEA DEATH. I YOUNG LADY DiES SUDDENLY ATI SCHOOL TREAT. At the Coroner's Court, Swansea, on Saturday morning, the Deputy Borough I Coroner, Mr. Glynn Morris, held an in-I quest on the body of Miss Doris Marie Pering, aged 19, the young lady who met j with a fatal accident in Oxford-street School-yard while playing at a school j treat- Quarter-Master Sergt.. Rott, of the 3rd 6th Welsh, 10, Garden-terrace, uncle of I deceased, said he last saw his niece alive on Wednesday, when she appeared to be quite well. She was a student at the Swansea Training College and the National Schools. Dr. Howe-lls said he was callled about, 8 p.m. He found deceased lying prostrate ¡ on the ground of the schoolyard. She l had expired. There were no external marks. Afterwards he conducted a post- mortem. Then lie found a mark on the I elbow. The conclusion he came to was that death was due to syncope Sidney Gerram, Toal merchant, who was present, said they were playing at "Two's and three's," and that the girl fell for- ward very lightly, not by any means heavily. Coroner: Did she say anything? Witness: Nothing at all; after she fell there was no movement. The jury returned a verdict of death from syncope, following over-exertion at the game. The jury and Coroner expressed sym- pathy with the relatives. The Funeral. The funeral took place Monday, leaving her parents' residence, Williams-terrace, Swansea, for St. Mary's Parish Church at 3 o'clock. The cortege was met at the church by the vicar, the Rev. the Hon.

PIRATES OUT A AIN. After a week of inactivity, the pirates are busy again, news coming to hand on Monday of two steamers being sunk, one of which is an Aemican vsesel. A Lloyds .message from Kirkwall says the American steamer Lee- lanau, Archangel for Belfast, with a cargo of flax, was sunk by a German sub- marine on Sunday. The crew were landed there on Monday1 morning.. A Lloyd's Lerwick message, dated Mon- day, states that the steamer Grangewood, of London; Archangel to Havre, was sunk by an enemy submarine in the North Sea. The crew of 24 men were landed there at midnight. The Grangewood was a steel screw steamer of 3,422 tons, and was built at Sunderland in 1902. She was owned by | the Gratitude S.S. Company, Ltd. The following is the week-end haul of the pirates:- The trading steamer Firth (406 tons), of Aberdeen, which was hound from a French port to the Firth of Forth, was torpedoed on Sunday off Orfordness, Suffolk, four of the crew being killed. The submarine was not seen by the crew, and no warning was given. The vessel was struck and the engineer, Lie son, a steward, and a fireman were killed. The survivors clung to the head of the vessel until a patrol boat came on the scene and took them on board. They were landed at Lowestoft. Lloyd's Cape Wrath agent telegraphs: Trawler Yokohama picked up crew of French steamer Danae sunk by two Ger- man submarines 8H miles north-east of Cape Wrath on Friday at eleven p.m., bringing them to Stornowav. The Danae was bound from Liverpool for Archangel. The Danae was a steamer of 1,505 tons, registered at Caen, France. On Saturday night the trawlers Kathleen, Henry Charles, Activity, and Prosper were stopped by a small submarine, whose ciew bombed' the vessels after ordering t.h" crews to take to their boats. Two of the crews were brought into Lowestoft by a patrol boat and the remainder of the men were landed from a local trawler. It is stated that the, submarine carried no gun.

LIGHT NOT OBSCURED. I Mr. Alfred Maries, described as a master builder, was summoned at Swansea on Friday for failing, on July 14th, to obscure all lights visible from the sea, in his house iNo. 24, Chaddeeley-terrace. P.C. (45) Thomas said it he light was a very powerful electric one in the hall, and could be seen through the glass door. Mr. Maries: Is it a stained glass door?— Yes. Doesn't the door face Constitution Hill?— Yes, but the light wae visible for miles around. In his defence Mr. Marles denied that the light was visible from the sea. Mr. Gwilym Morgan: Have you done any- thing to obscure the light? I am not find- ing fault, but I have had to obscure my light, as they say it can be seen over Black- pill.—No answer was made. The Chairman pointed out, the heavy penalty to which defendant was liable. We quite believe in your bona fides," he remarked, and we will therefore give you the opportunity of paying the D<)Oto on con- dition that you itake steps to hinder any lights which the police complain about."

| A KHAKI WEDDING. iTED MITCHELL WEARS TATTERED UNIFORM AT THE ALTAR. A wedding in which more than local interest was taken was cele- brated at the Parish Church, Llan- dilo. The bridegroom was Corporal Ted Mitchell, 116th Battery R.F.A., formerly a well-known player in the Swansea Town F.C., and the bride Miss Dolly Jones, youngest daughter of the late Mr. John Jones, of the Farmers' Arms and the Phoenix Vaults, Llandilo. The bridegroom was granted special leave for the occasion. He has been serving at the front since the commencement of hostili- ties, and is certainly looking fit in spite of the thrilling and strenuous experiences lie has gone through. The bride was given away by her eldest sister, Mrs. M. E. Morris, Ehosmaen- street, Llandilo, and Corpl. P. J. Potter, A.P .C., acted as best man. The bridegroom was attended by Sister Mitchell (sister of the bridegroom) and Miss Maisie and Master Roy Morris. She was charmingly Corpl. Ted Mitchell, R.F.A. attired in embroidered voile with tulle hat and veil, and carried a lieautiful bouquet of lillies of the valley and carnations, the pretty costumes of the ladies being in striking contrast to the stained and tattered uniform of the bridegroom, which he had worn in most of the im- portant-engagements he had gone through. The bridesmaids carried beautiful bou- quets, the gifts of the bridegroom. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. Arthur Jones. Mr. Willie Griffiths pre- sided at the organ, and played the wed- ding march. Amongst those present were Mr. and 1 Mrs. Mitchell (father and mother of the bridegroom), who came from Yorkshire for the ceremony; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert, Farmers' Arms, Llandilo; Mr. and Mrs. T. P.

I. HELD UP. I SHIP,OWNERS'- CHARGES AGAINST LOCAL COALTRIMMERS. A monthly meeting of the Swansea Chamber of Commerce was held on Fri- day, the president, Mr. T. P. Cook. in the chair. There was no reply from the railway companies to the protest. made against paying the war bonus on tipping charges, and the meeting decided to continue to resist the charges Arising out of the complaints regarding traffic delays on the Gwendraeth Railway a letter was read from the G.W.R. stating that arrangements wuuld he made by which it was hoped to remove the causes of the comply mm. The Chairman stated that the applica- tions for a trimming inspector had boon numerous, and the sub-committee had now reduced them to seven. It had been de- cided to work the office in connection with the Insurance scheme. Mr. Wynne asked if anything had been heard officially as to the men repudiating the tariff. The President: No. Mr. W<ynne said he had a case where a steamer came into the port and the men instead of charging 9d., insisted on receiv- ing Is. 3d. plus the war bonus, making practically 100 per cent. The President said that was a strong reason why an inspector should be ap- pointed It was common knowledge that the men were making charges which were not reasonable or justifiable. Mr. Wynne gave instances of owners keeping their steamers away from Swan- sea on account of the excessive charges. Mr. Turpm said it put shipbrokers in a very awkward position, as they could form no idea at all as to what they were going to be charge for trimming. He suggested (that the secretary of the Union should be written to on the subject. Mr. Owen Harris said he was the owner of fourteen boats, and for months he had decided to keep them away from Swansea. They were now trading from the East Coast. Mr. Cleeves asked if extra charges were not made at other ports. Mr. Owen Harries said there were, but not to the extent they were made in Swan- sea. Mr. Cleeves said that was not his ex- perience. The charges were being put up all round. Mr. Owen Harris said outside the war bonus there were many extra charges on the trimmisig at Swansea, which were not charged at other up-Channel ports. Mr. Montgomery Williams said the crux of the whole question was whether a tariff existed. The men denied the exist- ence of a tariff. The Chamber decided to communicate with the men's Union on the matter, pointing out how therir action was seriously affecting the trade of the port. The Secretary (Mr. II. J. Marshall) read communications he had received from Newcastle and other places regard- ing the applications that must be made I for bunkering neutral ships to foreign ports. In every ease separate applies tion must be made to the Customs by shipers for each steamer, and full par- ticulars given. It was hoped that 95 per cent. of the applications would be passed. The President said that only applied to neutral ships, but seeing the bulk of the steamers coming to Swansea were neutral ) the matter was affecting the bunkering trade very considerably. They would have to wait until they got a reply from the Custom House, London, before they could carry the matter further. The President mentioned the recent de- plorable strike, and said though they were not directly concerned in the dispute, the port would be considerably affected. One of the members said he had been told that the trin^mers were declining to cap out to-night or to work on any of the boats. The reason they alleged was short- age of coal, but, he, said, now the coal was coming forward, it was a great pity and a shame the men should not 1)(1 will- ing to work at night when there was coal to go out. Mr. Turpin mentioned the cose of the crew of a Norwegian vessel which had just been presented with the equivalent of a month's wages, whilst the captain was made the recipient of a purse of gold and a gold watch for a remarkably coura- geous attempt to save a Welsh vessel after she had been torpedoed by a German sub* marine. That vessel, proceeded Mr. Turpin, had now had, to wait six days in port at a cost of £50 a day, owing to the "loyal" Welsh brethren being On strike. Surely this was a case which might be brought before the notice of the Munitions Board. Another member mentioned the case of a txmt requiring 2,000 tons of bunkers and 300 tons of cargo coal, which was un- able to proceed owing to the men's re- fusal to work at night, and the vessel was obliged to leave Swansea, and go to another port to get its bunkers. A small committee was appointed to go into the matter and communicate with the men's union on the point.

PAYMENTS TO CHEMISTS. I Mr. Llewellyn Jones presided over a meeting of the Glamorgan Insurance. Com- mittee held at the offices at Cardiff. It will be remembered that on the last year's working there was a serious defici- ency in the accounts with the chemists, there being no money available in the fund to pay them. It was alleged that this deficiency was at least partly brought about by over-prescribing on the part of the doctors. Alderman IT. II. Williams now cited figures from a report showing that there was a great deal of difference in the cost of the prescriptions given by doctors in the same localities where they were catering for the same class of patients. It was, however, stated that investigations had not been concluded, and that it would take another fortnight for this to be done. Councillor D. Arnott (Pontypridd) urged that the matter should be expe- ditiously dealt with. It was, he said, a shame that tradesmen should be made to suffer in the way they had been in not having their accounts paid. It was agreed that the matter should be referred to the drug committee, and that afterwards the panel committee should take the matter in band with the view of endeavouring to remedy the grievance of the chemists.

PRESENTATION TO LADY DOCTOR. I There was a pleasurable gathering at the offices of the Swansea Public Health Department, when, on lhalf of the Public Health Staff, a presentation was made to Dr. Edith Jones, who is shortly to be married to Dr. Trevor Evans. The presentation, which took the form of a conibinedsoul) turin and entree dish, was made by Mr. H. it. Boyle, school dental surgeon, who referred, in the eourse of a happy speech, to the recipient's many qualifications. Others who spoke included Nurse Grier and Messrs. W. J. Lambert and T. L James. Dr. Jones suitably responded, and Dr. Ap Thomas, who represented Dr. Trevor Evans, also returned thanks.

At an inquest held on Saturday on Dd. Taylor Arnott, of independent means, residing at Binstead, Isle of Wight, it vais stated that he had suffered from severe war depression. On Thursday morning, after reading the, paper, he said, The Russians are cone. God help us all." The same wetiing his lifeless body was found in the summer houf-e in the pardon with a bullet wound through the head. A verdict of Suicide while temporarily insane" was Detuned,

A BEN TILLETT COMPANY. I Mr. Ben Tillett on Sunday afternoon I delivered a rousing recruiting speech at the Park Hall, Cardiff, to a large audi- ence, mainly composed of working men. Major Lucas presided, and was supported on the platform by, among others, Colonel Henry Lewis (Greenmeadow). Captain the Rev. J. R. McLean, Mr E. Bevin, national organiser of the Dockers' Union; and Mr. W. T. Beavan. Mr. Ben Tillett described his recent visit to the trenches, and said he would have no doubt whatever of the ultimate result of the war if the people at home I were as honest and honourable and truly loyal as the officers and men at the front. He was for his own class, right or wrong in a strike, and for his own country, right or. wrong, in war. Ninety-six per cent. of the men at the front belonged to the class they belonged to, and for them to be let down would be murderous. Mr. Tillett, referring to the coal strike, said he was glad beyond measure the strike was settled. They ought to have exhausted every resource before allowing a stoppage to take place, and he hoped the Government would see to it that no other such conflict should take place. Captain J. R. Maclean said it was the intention of the Welsh Army Corps to raise, in connection with the Pioneer Bat- talion, a company which should be asso- ciated with the name of Mr. Ben Tillett, and he hoped they would be able to raise the Ben Tillett Company of 250 men in the course of a fortnight.

It w.M decided to carry increased stocks of new cars at both branches in order to supply customers 38 expeditiously as possible. It was resolved to pay an interim divi- dend at tin rate of 1 per cent. per annum, less tax, on the 7 per cent. Cumulative Pre- ference shares for the half year to 30th June, 915.

-1 CHARGE DISMISSED. Alleged Permitting Drunkenness. .bdgar Horsgood. licensee of the Cam- brian Hotel, Somerset-place, Swansea, was summoned at SwaAsea Police Court oiL Monday for permitting drunkenness. Mr. Willie Smith appeared for the pro- secution, and Mr. Trevor Hunter (in- structed by Mr. Verley I'rice) defended. As Mr. Jenkin Jones, the magistrates' clerk, is an executor and trustee of the will of the owner of the premises, although he has no pecuniary interest, he inci- mated that lie preferred that neither himself nor Mr. J W. Thorpe should act as clerk during the hearing. Accordingly Mr. L. J. Kempthorne, clerk to the County Justices at Neath, took his place. Mr. Hunter pleaded not guilty. Company rgt.-Major Winter caid that at 9.15 on the night 01 June 2fith he was passing the Cambrian Hotel, when he "w a number of soldiers inside. Among them was the corporal of the guard and another private who should have been on guard. Witness ordered the men outside. He had no doubt that the men were drunk. Company Q.M.S. Street corroborated. Corporal Spence was under the influence of drink, he said, and Private Richards was very drunk, staggering." Lieutenant Griffiths said that at 11.15 p.m. he went to the guardroom and found Corporal Spence asleep. Private Richards was hopelessly drunk." Spence was under the influence of drink, not dead drunk, but stupid drunk." Mr. Hunter: Richards didn't have a leg under him?—Hardly, sir; he was better and safer down than up. (Laughter). Private Jones corroborated. For the defence, Mr. Hunter said defen- dant had been licensee of the Cambrian Hotel for a few months, and previously had lield the license of the Pantygwydr Hotel for two years, prior to which he, for many years, assisted his father in the business. During the whole of this time there was no suggestion of a complaint against him. Mr. Hunter sugge-,ted that there was a pretty strong presumption that the man with his experience was not likely to commit the offence. Dealing with the evidence, the solicitor pointed out that the men, Spence and Richards, had left the Cambrian Hotel at 9 o'clock, and according to Lieutenant Griffiths, Were\still drunk two .hours later. It had not been denied that there was a possibility of the men getting drink between 9 and 11 o'clock in the guard- room. Defendant gave evidence on his own be- half, and denied that the soldiers were drunk. Annie Stephens, barmaid, said that neither Spence nor Richards was drunk. Richards was giving a ventriloquial entertainment, and was in a stooping atti- tude when the sergeant-major entered the bar. Lance-Corporal Lloyd, of the same regi- ment as Spence and Richards, said that both the men were sober. Private Money, in the same regiment, corroborated. Thomas Beynon, Thomas John, Mark Pedlar, Henry Lee Davies, and P.S. (12) Jones also gave evidence, the latter as to the way in which the defendant had con- ducted the business. Sergt. Jones do. scribed the conduct of defendant as a credit to himself, the trade, and the town." After some deliberation the magistrates announced that the case would be dis- missed. There was'some applause in court, which was instantly suppressed.
