Mr. Martin's Protest I SCENE AT THE CHURCH COMMISSION The Welsh Church Commission resumed to. day. Mr. Richard Martin, of uwansea, gave paa-tioulars as to Nonconformists in the county borough of Swansea. The estimated population viaa 107,420. There were 114 Non- conformist places of worship, giving accom- modation for 62,216, which was equal to 83.3 of the population. In 1901 the accommoda- tion was so distributed that it could not be said there was any part of the borough with- out aanple provision. Soon after Mr. Marten commenced his evi- dence a lively scene occurred. lie had put in returns showing the extension, of chapels from time tj> time. Lord Justice Williams said they would not go into the history of every Church. They were quite satisfied as to the fina.nc.ial posi- tion of the Nonconformist chapels. Air. Martin warnny protected, and said he did not see how the Commission cou-u. report properly unless they took his evidence, on which he had spent much time. The Chairman: It its not the provision that has been made, but what is being made, that we iia/ve to report upon. Mr. Martin said that if they would not accept that part of his evidence he had better close up and go. The Chairman: Not at all. We E-hall decide the point when we come to that pa<rt of your evidence. Mr. Martin: I must know now. If you reject this part you reject all my evidence. The Chairman: We do not reject it. We shall decide when we come to the question of putting in that evidence. Sir John Williams: -but when? The Chairman: I mean in the course of witness's evidence to-day. Now out of cour- tesy to the witness I mentioned the matter to him, but I am beginning to regret my courtesy. Witness: I submit that if my evidence is not accepted in the way I have prepared it then I am wasting your time by coming here. The Chairman: I assure you that you are not wasting our time. The Rev. Morgan Giibbon: We have not actually come to that evidence yet. Mr. Martin 'then proceeded with his figures. Sir John Williams Leaves Room Later, when the Qhairman came to the objected table, he said they had not to report on the property oi the Nonconformists, and, as they had arrived at the conclusion that their financial position, was sound, more evi- dence was unnecessary. Later Noncon- formist witnesses had accepted the view. The witness bowed his assent, and said that as the facts were at hand he ha.d put them in. When the Chairman was asking for a definition of pioneer work of missions mpom which there is evidently staae dirierence of opiuion among lue commiE-I sioners, he remarked that the witu?-,L?sCL?ndmi,,t seeau to agree with the Rev. Morgan Gibbon. Sir John Williams said it was the arch- deacon who held the other view. The Chairman: I prefer to take the defini- tion from the witness and not from my col- leagues. Sir John then left the room, remarking: It is time we ceased talking like this."

Aged Pastor's Troubles WIFE BOUND OVER FOR ASSAULT Remarkable statements concerning the domestic affairs of a Baptist minister were made in the Dunmow (Essex) Police-court yesterday, when the Rev. Charles Price, pastor of the Strict Baptist Community in that town, summoned his wife, Emma Price, for assaulting him on May 7. The prosecu- tor was a little grey-bearded man of seventy years, and his wife was ten years younger. The ooupie were married ten years a.go, each haYULg- beeiQ previously married. In the witness-box the pastor sta,ted that his wife had pushed him about the house "on and off" for soiine years, and had called him a.n old humbug. On May 7 she knocked him over with a blow from behind, and called him an old devil. The pastor said he could not stand this latter rebuke, and, as he had become afraid of his wife, he decided to summon her, and ask that she should be bound over to keep the peace towards him- In cross-examination by Mr. Keith Frith, who defended, the pastor said his church was caLed the Ark." The cong-regation there had been greatly lessened through the un- pleasantness between hun and nis wife. For the defence, the wife stated that her husband had starved her by keeping her without food or money. She declared she would have died had not neighbours given her food. Members of the Dunmow Baptist Chapel said frequent compaain4,6 ha-d been- -made there of the pastors treatment of his wife, and a lot of people had left in consequence of the soa,nda,l. The members had also sent food for Mrs. Price, who was described by ,ing a 'very good woman. the neighbours as being a very good woman. The Bench found that an assault was com- mitted, and they bound Mrs. Price over to keep the peace towards her husband for six months, and ordered her to pay the costs. As she left the dock the pastor's wife exclaimed that she would on no account live with her husband again.

THE PAY OF POLICE At to-day's meeting of the Newport Watoh Committee the application of the senior con- stables for an advance in pay, which had been adjourned on one or two occasions, was acceded to. A comparison of the conditions prevailing in Newport and neighbouring towns showed that constablea got into the "merit" class easier in most towns than Newport, where the "merit" badge was given not in respect of long servitude at all, but only in respect of some specially outstanding act of bravery or distinction. To-day the watch committee decided to adopt a long service and good conduct "star" for con- stables of tifteen years' status, which shall carry a shilling per week in pay in addition to the ordinary advances.

Mile-end Sensation Mile-end. Sensation I SEQUEL TO RECENT ENQUIRY I 10 Guardians Under Arrest. EX-MAYOR APPREHENDED IN HIS ROBES There was a sensational sequel yesterday to the recent Poor-law inquiry in Mile-end. Eleven warrants against guardians or ex- guardians were issued early in the after- noon, and by midnight eigjht of the men were in custody a.t Behnsul-green Police- station. Two surrendered this morning. There waa a dramatic scene when the police arrested Alderman Hirst. The alder- man. who has been chairman of the house committeee of the Mile-end Boa-rd of Guax- diana, is an ex-mayor of Stepney, and his arrest was effected a-bout five o'clock while he was attending a meeting of the Stepney Borough Council. The detectives in plain clothes drove up in hansoms to the Stepnoy Town-hall, and by their instruction a message was conveyed to the alderman and to Mr. Gilder to tell them that someone had called to see them on urgent business. Still wearin,g his municipal robes, the alderman left the council chamber to inter- view the callers, followed by Mr. Gilder. The warrant took the alderman completely by surprise, but the summons had to be obeyed, and a few minutes later Alderman Hirst, in one cab, and Mr. Gilder in another, were driven to Bethnal-groen station. Completely Overcome Alderman Hirst was completely overcome, and showed signs of collapse. The divisional surgeon, Dr. Bate, was summoned to his aid, stimulants were administered, and at night arrangements were made for him to be taken to the Mile-end Infirmary. Late last night the chief detectives were understood to be trying to execute the re- mainder of the warrants. Substantial bail was proffered in some of the oases, but a-t eleven o'clock last night every offer had been refuaed. GUARDIANS BEFORE THE I POLICE COURT At the Thames Police-court to-day the Poor-law guardi-ans who were arrested yes- terday in connection with the reoent scandal's regarding the administration) of the Poor-law guardians of Mile End appeared befor Mr. Dicl-iiiiisoll. and were formally charged.

It will be remembüred that Joseph Caleutt, building contractor and guardian, was recently sentenced to six months' iniprisotir meat in the second division, for charging- for goods which were not used, and that Mr. Joseph Cade has been committed for trial on the eharge of obtaining a cheque from the guardians by fraud in connection with coaJ contracts.

Starmer, licensee of the Salisbury Arms, Burdett-road. Mr. A. H. Bodkin and Mr. Leycester appeared ca behalf of the Treasury to prose- cute, and Mr. H. D. Ivluir and Air. A. David for the defence. Prisoners Look III I The Ptrisloncr2 all looked ill when they were brought tato court. Mr. A. H. Bodkin, in opening, said it was a case whidh from its public importance had be-m undertaken toy the Director of Public Psoseoutions. The charge agaiiueit the defendants was that they on various d<a!tes from the year 1901 conspired togetner to cheat and defraud the corporate body known as the guardians of the hamlet of Mile-end Old Town, and the evidence would show that some of the defendan.ta were (parties to that conspiracy throughout the whole pesriod, others joining in at a. some- what later stage and carrying it oh in oon- junction with those who had first started it. The cvidenoe also would show that there had been committed various offences against the Public Bodies Corrupt Practices Act of 1899 in that defendants, or some of them, soli- cited and received corrupt gifts, and presents frou a contractor to the boaird. The neces- sary consent of the Attorney-General to the prosecutions had been obtained in regard to eacth of the ten defendants. I

PAttlC AND CONFUSION I HEAVY DEATH-ROLL CARRIAGES SPLINTERED TO ATOMS Soon after leaving Antwerp this morn- ing the 8.49 train for Brussels ran into another train at a cross-over. An Exchange telegram states that 22 people were killed and 60 injured. CONTIOH, Thursday (11.0 a.m.). The train, which, left Antwerp at 8.49 a.m. for Brussels, reached Contich at 9.6 a.m. As it was entering- the station, the train, owing to a mistake on the part of the.poillts- man, ran into a train going to Turnhout. The engdmo of the Antwerp-Brussels train struck a luggage van and two rear carriages filled with passengers of the Turnhout train. There was for the moment panic and con- fusion, but assistance was speedily forth- coming. From the wreckage of the two rear car- riages, which had been smashed to atoms, there were taken fifteen dead and 30 injured, many of them mortally. Contich Station was transferred into a tem- porary hospital, while the bodies of the dead were placed on benches in the waiting-room. The railway staff behaved with admirable zeal and devotion. Meanwhile all the doctors and priests of Contich had arrived on the scene, and were doing everything possible to alleviate the sufferings of the injured. They were ably seconded by the officers and men of the garrison. The authorities of Antwerp Hospital promptly despatched to Contich ajnbulance wagons and litters, with a staff of nurses and attendants. Representatives of the judicial authorities at Antwerp have arrived at Contich. The catastrophe is one of the worst recorded on the Belgian railways for many years. ANTWERP, 11.30 a-m. Twenty-six bodies have been taken to the barracks. Others still remain under the wreckage. The injured have arrived here. Increase in Death Roll A Renter's message states that it is believed .7?t it is belipved the total list of casualties at the railway collision near Antwerp will amount to many more than the number giyeai by the authori- tics. A telegram received at Antwerp from Contich at noon estimates that about 60 persona have been killed, and about ';00 injured. Accurate figures, however, are as yet unobtainable owing to the difficulty of extri- cating the victims from the debris. About a dozen persons, who were injured In the railway collision near Antwerp were brought to Brussels during the forenoon, and received medical treatment at the Gare du Nord. Nearly all of them were suffering from imjuries to the head and legs. Three of the worst cases have been con- veyed to the hospital in a serious condition.

SHORT CUT TO DEATH I Colliery Company's Appeal Case In the King's Bench to-day (.before Justices Darling and Philliimore) an appeal came on for hearing in the action of French v. Hill's- Piymouth Colliery Company from a judg- ment of Judge Bryn Roberts at Merthyr. It was the coilliery company's appeal, and Mr. Powell, K.C., and Mr. Parsons appeared for them. The respondent French was repre- sented by Mr. C. A. KuseeH, K.C, and Mr. Rill Kelly. There was a second appeal in a.n action by the same plaintiff against the Taff Vale Reilw-ay Company, Mr. Bailhache, K.C., a.nd Mr. Bea-sley appearing for the latter. The cases, arising out of the same circumstances, were heard together. According to Mr. Powell's opening state- ment on behalf of the HiH's-Plymouth Oom- pany, the case arose out of the death of the plaintiff's wife, who was accidentally killed on the railway at defendants' colliery, and the action was brought under Lord Camp- bell's Act. It was explained that in one direc- tion was the village of Pentrebach and in the opposite direction Aberoanaid, with the railway between. There was a road which crossed the railway to Aber- canaid, but it wafi a circuitous way, and most peopde preferred to cross the defendants' Sliding and the railway, and then over a footbridge to Abercanaid. Just opposite the road leading from. Pentrebe-cli there was an opening in the fence, and many people chose to enter upon the HiU's-Piymcxuth Company's premises, although there was a notice board saying there was no public thocroughfare. On the night of April 13 last shunting operations were in progress. Mrs. French and others crossed the line and oame to standing wagons, and they crept underneath the buffers, the last to do so being Mrs. French, whoee dreas was caught fast as the wagons began to move, with the result that she was killed. Mr. French brougtht an action against the colliery company for damages which he had sustained through the death of his wife, and the county-court judge gave judgment in his favour. It was against this judgment that the defendants appealed. Mr. Russell said the county-count judge had found that the path was used by the colliery ooanpany's licence. Mr. Justice Baa-ling ccwuld not imagine this, and the aprpeal was aliowed with, costs.

PHOTOGRAPHER'S DARK ROOM Cardiff Girl's Story Before the Cardiff stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis), this afternoon, William Howell, of Fitzham)an-e.m'bankment, aged 2.1, was sum- moned by Annio Weldon, seventeen, to show o:;¡,u.e, &c. Mr. Evan Davies was for com- plainant, Mr. G. F. Willett defended. Complainant, who lives in ifiliicent-sitreet, deposed that she went -iin:to the employ of Mrs. Howell (defendant's mother), in May last, and left in August. The child was bcrn on .April 5 Defendant is a;n amateur photographer, and made use of a. room at the bottom of the steps leading: into the cellar as a dark room. Complain ant stated that on the second week in July '.she was going to the cellar for coal, when defendant called her into the dark room, and showed her some photographs, and took advantage of her. Subsequently, while ishe was in tfce cellar cleaning knives defendant called her to have her photograph taken, and a. similar incideint occurred. Defendant denied the paternity and all knowledge of the incident oft showing the girl photographs in the dark room. His Worship deferred hds decision until to-morrow.

Parliament To-day I THE OOGA R BOUSES 1 In the House of Commons tcjday Mr. I Villiers ashed the Foreign Seoret&ry whether f all the contracting States, except Grea.t Britain, received the aasent of their several Parliaments before sigming the additional Act and protocol to the Brussels Sugar Con- vention. G4- E. Grey: As far as I am aware, the answer is in the negative. The matter is, of course, one of constitutional practice, which variec in each country. Mr. Villiers asked whether his Majesty's Government could, as in the case of Italy, obtain a further extension of time before being compelled to decide if they would retire from the Sugar Convention or not in order that the subject might be discussed in that House. Sir E. Grey replied in the negative. This country had ratified the additional Act already. There was no analogy between our position and that of Ita,ly. Insurance Practices Mr. M'Veagh asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he was now in a position W announce his decision with reigard to an inquiry into, or legislation dealing wilth, the practices of insurance societies. Friendly Societies, and kindred organisations. Mil". Ohunchill said he did not feel con- vinced a.t present that the best way to deal with the matter would be by formal inquiry. Such a course might cause unnecessary apprehension, and tend, without any suffi- cient cause, to disturb the confidence of the insuring public. The Board of Trade had been in communication with the Chief Regis- trar of F-riendly Societies on the master, and he was issuing a notice pointing out the crecent decision of the rts as to ineurabtie interesits with a view to steips being taken to comply with the law. A similar course would be taken witih regard to industrial insurance companies.

Golf, THE LADtES- CHAMPtOMSHtP FOURTH AND FIFTH. BOUWto. After the sensational results or yeaierostj, when Miss May Hezlet, the hitherto almost invinoibie la.dy player, Mies M. R Stuart, Miss Alcxa G-iover, and Mrs. Cuthell, akso renowned championship competitors, were ibeaiten, by little-knowTi lady golfers, the pro- ceeding's to-day were of the greatest interest. The fifth and sixth rounds were get for com- petition. The first tie in the fifth round, between Miss Fruser and MiES Johnson, started at ten o'clock. Miss Phippe was tbe only American player left in the run- nm?, and she ela?-ted a.t ten minutes past ningw, ith Miss Kyie, a young 800ttish player. Xi8a L?itch, the Caj-tiB? g?fer, whw? &'n? play has attracted much notice, met Miss S-harpe, an Edinburgh player. Out-staaidmsr interest waa taken m the matches between Miss Tynte and Miss Oa,mpi>oll and Miss Neville a.nd Mies (Suttie, as from this division the winner ie expoetcd. The first couple had a magnificent match, each showing grand golf, and there was n-othing in it at the turn. Miss Neville played finer golf than Miss Suttie.

GEORGES CUP The annual competition for the St. Georges Cup was entered upon to-day, when, for the first time. it was found necessary to devote two days to the competition. The entry inoluded nearly all the competitors for tihe Vmateur Championship, but a most notable absentee was Mr. John Graham, of the Royal Liverpool Club, who won this competition the laet time it was decided, on the eve of the Amateur Championship. When Mr. Graham won it he put up tihe record Ecore of 154. and, although this figure was equalled in 1905, when Robert Harris, of Carnoustie, proved successful, the score on the occasion of the last Amateur Championship has never been .broken. In all there are 146 entries, a-nd amongst the more interesting partner- ships axe those between Mr. John Ball and Mr. Gordon Simpson, Mr. C. E. Dick, tho present holder, and Mr. J. E. Laid lay, Mr. de Zoete and Mr. Mure Fergusson, lir. Horace Hutchinson and Mr. C. E. Hambro, and Mr. A. V. Hambro and the Hon. Os-mund Scott. The weather a-t Sandwich this morning was delightful. Fifty players com-peted. Since last set- the course has been altered and considerably lengthened, and many other improvements effected. Last year's winner and runner-up, Messrs. C. E. Diok and E. Martin Smith, are again, competing to-day. The competition is a stroke one, over thirty-six holes, eighteen holes being pl-ayed on each of the two days. Owing to 'the large entry, a very early st-art was nece.<«ary. The players found the course more difficult than formerly, and 78. made by V. A. Pollock (Royal and Ancient Club), was the best for a con- sidora,ble time. C. Aykner (Sidmouth Club) and B. Darwin (Woking) each did 81, but D. F. Hansome (CrowtwDjongh Beacon), w<ho followed, did 79. Mil". John Bull (amateur ehampion) aind Mr. Weaver commanded a. large following-, but their play for the first few holes presented no outstanding features.
