Petition Against M.P. I CORRUPT PRACTICES ALLEGED. t To-day at the Town-hall, Great- Yarmouth, Mr. Justice Grantham and Mr. Justice Chan- nell began the hearing of a petition pre- sented against Mr. Arthur Fell, who at the general election was returned to Parliament a* Unionist member for the borough. The petitioner is the unsuccessful Liberal candi- j date, Mr. S. Martin White, and there are uumerous allegations of contravention of Section 7 of 46 and 47 Vict. One of these is a specific charge against the sitting mem- bev personally. It alleges that before, during, a.nd after the election the respondent was by himuelf and his agents guilty of corrupt practices, of bribery, and cheating. The peti- tioner also affirms general treating and irregularities in respect of contracts and payments incidental to the contest. Mr. Dickens, K.C., is leading counsel for peti- tioner, and Mr. Gill, K.C., for respondent. I d a v4.atel-idTl brief ?r. Harvey Murphy hotds a T?tchdng brief for the PubHo Prosecutor. ) Thdr lordships took their seats shortly before eleven o'clock, and Mr. Gili made a preliminary obic-otioil that the additional particulars which petitioner had been given notice to file were iuadm.issiole by reason of informality, as certain special allegations of bribery and treating had not been set out. Their lordships held that the particulars filed ware sufficient under the order made, and Mr. Dickens then opened for the petitioner. Counsel submitted that from July, 1904, 1 when Mr, Fell threw his giove into the arena, he persistently carried on a public-house, campaign, which terminated in an orgie at I the To-wn-hall three months before the fight, and at a time when everybody knew what was going to happen. Newspaper reliortl were quoted to prove ths time of Mr. Fell's! adoption as a very material point in this inquiry. Counsel de?rribed proceedings at many public-house a'2Sml);ies, ca?ed. it was alleged, to promote Mr. r<?r'A candidature, and compl?t?d the general Instory of the case, from petitioner's point of view, by con- tending that the Town-hall "at-home" of; October last year was sufficient to unseat the Bitting member. One guest got too "f realty," walked into the river, and was drowned. Mr. Pell magnanimously paid the funeral ex- penses. (Proceeding.)

Illegal =- Trawling. SWANSEA CAPTAIN HEAVILY FINED At D tin gar van Petty Sessions to-day William Orr, residing magistrate, presiding, the fri-?h Department otf Agriculture and Technical Infraction prosecuted Henry New- mail, skipper of the Welsh steam trawler Points Castle, belonging to the Castle Steam Trawlers Company, of Swansea., for illegal trawling off Dungarvan Bay. Mr. Tweedy, solicitor, Dungarvian, appeared for the pro- secution, and Mrs Williamls, solicitor, d-e- fended. Captain Thompson, of the Irish Depart- ment's Protection Duty etea.mcr Helga, proved the offence. He deposed having boarded the trawler off Dungarvan Bay ■whilst inside the prescribed limits and in cc niravention of the bye-la.w. Of course, skippers of these trawlers were paid according to the quantity of fish they caught, and naturally there was consider- able enticement to skippers to trespass Within the limits allowed by the law. After some discussion the Bench held the offence proved, and decided to convict. A penalty of JElCO would be imposed on the defendant, and an order would be made that half of this fine would be inflicted on the Castle Steam Trawlers Company, Swansea. If Newman did not pay the amount. imposed the Bench would further order that all nets and fishing gear seized on defendants' traw- lers should be forfeited. Mr. Williams, on behia-lf of the defemdaTxt, admitted the facta. He would not tJhink it fair that in case of conviction bbif the fine should be imposed on the Swarnsea company owners of the trawier in default of Skipper Newman pay ins it- He (Mr. Williams) appeared for the Castle Steam Trawlers Com- pamy as well as for Newman, and lie would produoe letters from the Irish department to prove that this company had corresponded with the prosecutorB amd with the Board of Trade to endeavour to get the certificates of ekippens ivILo tuctod contrary to express direc- tions from their employers by trawling inside prescribed limits off the Irislx t should ibe oanoelied.

HIS LAST GOOD-BYE I CARDIFF LODGING-HOUSE TRAGEDY. I Abercynon Man Cuts His Throat I A man, whose name is believed to be J 1 Joseph Hartnan, a, tradesman, who had carried on business at Abercynon, was found with his throat cut at the Workmen's Hotel, Bute-street, Cardiff, this morning. The discovery was made about ten o'clock. The police and Dr. Buist, the police divi- sional surgeon, were immediately summoned, but nothing could be done to save the maji's life. The deceased left behind a letter. On the envelope was written: Enclosed is my last good-bye." The letter, which was headed, Whoever n,a<lf> this please forward to my step-sister, 11, Arcade, Pontypridd," was as follows:- To Dear Min and Magg. I must say farewell to you both for ever. I shall never get over that breakdown of influenza, financial loss in business, and now practically ruined. Farewell also to one I have dearly loved of Coity, Bridgend. I never thought, dear, that we were singing and playing together I for the last time, but fate has, however, willed it. May the Great Creator forgive me for this tragic end. P.S.—I wish, Min, you would please get my box from Herbert-street, A'xrcynon, where I used to lodge when in. fcusine?3 there, as there are some valuable letters, album, Ac., in it. Also get irty, \?(1X from Great Western Railway Station, Cardiff, and also pay the only little bill I owe, which you will see, among my letters—four shillings and something. This will be a great shock to you, no doubt, but I have tried to avoid it by talk- ing to ministers of churchaa, but I find they are not in touch with down-trodden humanity, bodily, a work to be accom- plished. Farewell, far,-well to you .-From J. H. H. On another sheet was written, I am worried to death, out of a situation." It appears that the deceased had relatives in Pontypridd, Bridgend, and Cowbridge. Latterly he has been out of work, staying at the hotel named, and earnestly seeking employment. "I AM DYING." It ia.ppe.ars that about 9.20 o'clock John Co roan, a lodger, beard some one snouting •froan the adioning cubicle, No. 68, I have cut my throat a.nd am dying. Corran ran in, and the superintendent of the hotel was at once informed. In company with Pol ice-const,able Phipps, who bad also been summoned, they went into the cubicle and found Joseph 11. Hamham lying on the floor with his throat cut, and shouting moot pitifully for assistance. The bed-olothes. were covered with blood, and the floor was in the same condition, whilst a razor was I found close by. Three cuta, which were not I of a. deep character, were found in the throat, and the man muat have been bleed- ing for some time before th-c Shouted for assistance, because there was a pool of blood on the bed, and the quantity of blood in au I utensil alongside the bed was very large. The body was conveyed to the mortuary. He was a quiet man of middle age, and was, respectably, but not well, dressed. On Wed- j nesday evening he went to his cubicle about! nine o'clock, and no more was heard of him until Corran wa.s startled by his shouts and groans, as already stated. The contents of the deceased's pockets have I placed his identity beyond dispute, and give an inkling to a long mental struggle against I adverse circumstances. Amongst his papers was a notice of burial, dated May 11, 1903, addressed to the Rev. T. Lloyd Williams, which had reference to the death of Aban Hanham, aged 79 years, of the parish of Mumbles, and there were also found in his pockets a prayer book and hymn I book, a pawn-ticket, a bundle of letters, and ¡ a receipt for a box left a.t the Great Western j Railway Station, Cardiff, on April 2. j INQUIRIES AT PONT.YPRIDD I Our Pontypridu representative, on making inquiries at the address given in the Aread0: at Pontypridd, was informed that. Miss j Hahham was iu London, and not likely to return for some time. If the deceased was connected with the family indicated, the efca/tenuept that he had been in business at Abercynon is correct. It is also stated that about three years ago he was left a fairly large sum by bis father. The deceased had a passion for roving about, and frequently his movements were unknown. The deceased was at one time a master butcher carrying on business in London. Some time ago his father left him a con- siderable sum of money. Bocecitly be was I employed as an odd man by Mr. Lcughor, Llandaff.

NEWPORT DOCKS SCHEME. t An import-ant coafcren-ce between repre- sent actives of the Newport Corporation, the j Newport Harbour Board, and the direc- ] torsute and management of the Alexandra > Docks Company was held at the Town-hall, Newport, on Wednesday, with a view to amooth?ig a.wa.y, if pc?iMa, the opp<MitM.n which had been raised to the Alexandra Docks Company's Bill, which is expected to come before a Parliaanentary Committee on May 8.

THE COAL EXPORT TAX. I The feeling of confidence that the coal- tax will be removed in the Budget announce- ment to be made next Monday is eo strong that foreign buyers of coal are withholding orders for the present with the view of avoiding the payment of the duty. if its abolition dat-es from May 1. Since the holi- days new business in the steam coal trade at Cardiff has been rather slow, and the I reason given is that buyers are holding their hands pending the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement. Although prices arc slightly easier, there has been no marked failing off, as colliery owners, holding, as they do, very heavy order bocks, are not inclined to make concessions unless obliged I to. Sellers are anticipating that directly the Budget has been introduced, whether the tax is removed or not. the business held back will come on the market, and probably result in prices again stiffening very materially.

A letter was reall from Sir James DTum- mond, lord-lieutenant, endor.2Iing tho remarks of the secretary, and expressing the earnest hope that the council would arrange to pay the promised contribution. The Chairman ruled that the matter could not be re-openod until the October meeting of the council.

I COAL-TRltviMING TARIFF.

Lewis) held a lengthened inquiry at Cardiff Poiice-oourt to-day in a case in which Xr. i Thomas King, licensee of t.he Garrick Hotel, St. Mary-street, was summoned for allowing his premises to be frequented by ladies of a certain class. Mr. F. W. Ensor (from the tow.n-clerk's office) appeared for the prosecu- tion; Mr. St. John Francis-Williams (in. etnacted by Mr. Morgan Bees) defended. Mr. E,nsor, in ope-ming the case, said he had evidence of 31 women of the unfortunate olase frequenting the house, where nothing but liquid refreshment were served. Inspector William Burke said ihat on Tuesday, March 20, he watched the Garriek from 8.10 till ten p.m., and s-vw several women. of loose character going in and OUt of the bouse with and without men in their company. He knew tha-t they were unfor- tuina.tQ6 because of the company they usually kept. On the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of Ma.it-h he watched t.he no use, a.nd he now described a similar state of things which took place during each evening. One cus- tomer came out and offered him some cigars,1- spaying, "I know which place you are watch- ing. It is a warm shop." The witness refused the proffered cigars, and the ¡1, then returned to the hotel. On the 24th he went into the Garriek Hotel, and in the bar he found twelve unfortunates. He also found 001118 unfortunate in the jug and bottle department, one in the passage, and one in the men's urinal in company with a. man. He caJJed the landlady's attention to the presence of fifteen unfortunates in the hoUiJe thje -landJord aot being on the premises— •Riod told her he would have to report her 'haaband. She said, "I don't allow tbem to stop more than Ave minutes." Examined by Mr. St. John Fra-ncis-Wil- liams, Inspector Burke denied that Mrs. King said to him, "Mr. King keeps them (the women in question) On the Walk. He won't allow them to have a second rink." The Theatre Royal was separated only 4ft.. or 5ft. from the Garriek, but he had never m&,&, a, mistake and confounded visitors to ,the Theatre Royal with those who ,enter,ed the GarHok. Women of this class visited the Cambrian, at the corner, and the Theatre Royail, next door, but in very much les3 niumber-s comparatively. aeKed the inspector why he had not mcnuoiied olue entry in his note-book "that from 8.23 to 9.50 on the night of the 21at the landlord was in and out. the wJlole time, and when, several women came to the dooI" he would allow them in."

He adirn it ted to the stipendiary that be made an omission in not ascertaining the aiaHieb of the women tifae landlord refused admission, as well as of those who were admitted. "Wlly." asiked his Worafcip, "have you given the names of those who entered, and not a sdmgle name of any of the women, whom the landlord re-fused admission?—I didn't know the names.

He didn't, admit all tfhe women?—No. Then why suppress it?-It was an error. Obviously It was an Error, but what was your reason?—-I omitted it. Why omit it?—I overlooked it. no, no. You were giving particulars of what- had taken place. You gave the Thames of the women who entered a.nd Left, but you omitted to give the names of tb.e women who were prevented from entering. What is your reason?—i I p -ul the names dov-n. I didn't take much notice. Witness, in answer to further questions, could give no explanation as to why he with- held the information, and said there was •nothing else, he had supposed, that told in King's favour. Said his Worship: Just try aird think, before you leave the box, if there is not something else you may hare forgotten?— No, sir, there is not. Is there any evidence against him you Slave forgotten?—No. Police-constable John Pugsley stepped into tN! bos to corroborate, and his first action w,a,s to detach the elastic band and open his packet-book. His Worship: What have yon got there? Witney Only my The Stipendiary You know you are not entitled to use it unless your memory fails. Witness then put his book in his pocket, and gave his evidence from memory, adding that he had not inserted anything after- w ax clE. I The Stipendiary Quite rig-ht. Witness went on to say that the landlord was "in and out" all the time. He "stood in the door" for a few minutes, amd then went inside, and in a few minutes was out again. He prevented some women fronl entering—not a great number. He did not keep account. By the Stipendiary: One could reach with cnc's arm from the door of the Garriek to the adjoining door of the Theatre Royal. He was certain that he did not make a mistake as to the door through which the women entered. (PBOCBEPIXO.)

SCENE IN THE HOUSE 'Ladies' Gallery Cleared ) _°_ I DEBATE ENDS IN NOiSE AND j TUMULT. An extraordinary and unparalleled scene tock place in the Ho-cse of Commons on Wednesday night while Mr. S. T. Evans, the Radical member for Mid-Glamorgan, was I speaking in opposition to the female suffrage l molio a. Shortly before eleven o'clock, at which hour the debate would close under the new rules, the House had become very full, and the Ladies' Gallery was crowded to hear the discussion. Mr. Evans was cheerily proceeding with his criticism, amid manifes- tationy of impatience from some quarters ¡ of the House, wheu loud cries of No. no," P,??oc&e?ied from the Ladies' Gallery. Everybody immediately looked up at the gr?lle, and for a short time the proceedings were interraptad. Mr. rivans, however, pro- ceeded with his opposition. lie said he had I seen no sign of agitation in favour of women's suffrage, and he was a careful rsader of the newspapers. This statement was met with ironical cries of Hear, hear. News of the scene rea.ching the social quarters of the House, members rushed in until the place became crowded. Mr. Evans, manifestly enjoying the excitement, and paying special attention to the occupants of the gallery, proceeded to declare that :n no country in the world, excepting gome of our Coloni-ss, had women enjoyed the rights and privileges of citizenship. (Loud cries from the Ladies' Gallery, ".New Zea- i land" and "Australia. ) Many eyeo were ca»t at the grille, and one member cried, "Order, order," but Mr. Evans proceeded with his argument, and contended that if women were entitled to tbe privileges of citizenship they ought to share its responsibilities, and did they desire that they should go out to battle? „ The hon. member was proceeding to propose to himself the question, Is it i proposed also that every woman should be entitled t-o the îra.nct..ü3c ?, when more voices were heard from the ladies, now shrill and h;Y\7,5:rn1.. crying, ''Divide! Divide! Divide I For the moment amazement prevented tbB House from proceeding with the debate, but the interruption proved to be more than a momentary outburst from over-escited auditors. Again they clamoured, "Divide! Divide!" and no calls to "Order" from the floor were now capable of checking the commotion., in which apparently close upon a dozen ladies were taking part. At the same time a large calico Cag was thract oat by one of the manifestants in front of the grating, bearing the legend in large black letters, "Votes for women." Other ladies continued to scout at the top of their voices, and a clenched fist was forced through the grille to emphasise the admonition. The officials of the House were now seen to be ejecting the disturbing element in the gallery, but never iH continued their refrain, "Divide! Divide!" and "Go on; there is time yet." | Mr. G. Whiteley, the Chief Whip of the ) Government forces, rose and put. a que.3tion to the Speaker, which amid the din was jutt audible in the Press Gal- lery. "Is it not desirable. he said, "thai i the gallery should be cleared?" The voices cf the ladies, however, were even yet not silenced. They still maintained their cries of "Vote, vote," and "Justice for women, while even the last of them was being helped out of the gallery by policemen and officials. The treatment of the ladiee, however, caused s? leadt one member so?p feeling of ) indignation, and Mr. Win. BediDond inquired, i with pain in 'his v?c-e, wtctber it wa? in i accordance w:jh d?ecmcy that policemen ,s,vheuld be cilied into the gallery to turn (out fbo ladies. The potC3t, however, did ? Dot meat \yi¡;h great sympathy in fhe Houiie, so?e members calling out "Certainly," and j "Why not ? The Speaker, thus appca.?ed to, replied, 'w'ith characteristic qniat hnn?nr. that, unfortunately, he was the only pereon in | the House who could not eee what was going on. But he then added, gravely, "When the first in terruption took pla.ce I gave inctrue-i t-iocs to the attendants that, the Ladies' 1 Gallery should be cleared," and the announcement was received apparently with u n,4,ve-?rLl tpproml by the House. Mr. Evam exclaimcd, C"n there be any tetter argument against the motion than | the scene we have .F1:st witneS6eù' i Mr. W. E-edmond: Have the men never inter- rupted? j I Mr. Evans: We have ne,er had ench an i exhibition in the Ladies' GaUo,-y as that we have just witne?ed. Does the House suppose that such an exhibition is approved of by the mass cf the people of this country? In the meantime the pclicemon had guc- o&edcd in removing the unruly champions of women's suffrage from the gallery and escorting them off the premkes, Mr. Evsuna carrying on the debate v. hi '-ut furtfc'v ill- terruption until eleven o'elk, when byth?e? te? ru pt.;c further discussion ended, the 13 ew riile, furi.'rer CLisci- .1cu ended, the Almost immediately -?he Hous? wao deserted, and after the Orders were gone through the motion for adjournment wae moved at ten minutes past eleven and agreed to. Preconcerted and Planned. The demonstration in the Ladies' Gallery, says the Central Xev/s, was preconcerted and carefully planned. In all. about a d<Y¿.e.n women were concerned in je, and the officials of the were totally unpre- pared for it. When Mr. Low the-r gave tha order for the gallery to 1>3 cleared a most amusing soene took place. Mr. Erskine, jun., the Assistant Deputy-Serjeant, accorn-1 panied. by Inspector Saantlebury snd a num. ber of polios, proceeded to the gallery. At fit. the ladies refused to budge, in spite of the courteous mvital-ion of the ov-arwheim- ing ior<?a of police. une o' t'?o of ?he r,-irwtory females, however, were taken by the arm and removed with as little force as possible. i Outo:ao the gallery ma-ny of t-h-em found that they had left their hats and C,c3 I behind. For a while they pleaded in vain to be allowed to return, the police, suspeot- ing it was only a feminine manoeuvre to repeat the demonstration, refusing to listen to the repeal. Amid cries of Wove 0" ladies; the lift is waiting," the suffragettes I were hurried to the ladies' liE and taken into Palace Yard. Chief-inspector Scfintlebury took the names of some of the deinon-trators. Miss Millington, <5, Park-walk, was! noted down. Immediately her friends recog.iised that mere was a jj< vv f<!j:lU of martyrdom they surrounded the inspector and implored him to take their names down also. ML&s Kenny, Miss Miller, Miss Pankhurst, and a few others were accommodated, but the inspector's go-od nature at length became E'xlHtTIst2d, and to the ui^anriciniment of most of the demon- strators he announced that he had enough," and refused to take any snore names, The nest incident was a demand for the | hats and coats. One or two daring females endeavoured to find their way back by th.? staircase, on the pretext tnat they wiehed to get those articles of apparel, but eventually t,) got tbope ai'tic es C)f one of the at-te ndan* emerged irom the Ladies' Gallery with a bundle of hats and cloaks and distributed them to the best of his ability to their rightful owners. Amusement, Alarm, and Disgust. Not the least entertaining pa.rt of the incident was the mingled amusement, alarm, and disgust oi a few ladies in evening dress, who, although they took no liart whatever in the demonstration, were removed from the gallery by the police, and, until their friends from the House came up and rescued them, were in danger of being ignominioosly ejected from the House with the disturbing E suffragettes.
