OLD-AGE PENSIONS
OLD-AGE PENSIONS DEMAND FOR FORMS SouthWales Applications SCENES AT THE POST OFFICES The machinery of the Old-Age Pensions Act began to work yesterday, for, though no pen- sions will be paid until January 1. the first, issue of the application forms was made at the post-offices, and during the next three months a large staff of officials will be engaged in investigating the thousands of ciaiais sent in. We append a tabulatoe-d statement showing the number of claims made, as far as we have been informed, at the different South Wales poet-offioee Aberdare and District 265 Cardiff 140 Neath. 50 Pontypridd 40 Newport. 60 Swansea 57 Tenby 8 -LiMdyMUt. 40 Merthyr 21 Treherbert 15 Torndalo 10 I Pentre 3 Treorky 2 Forth 3 Cymmer 2 Ystrad 5 Tonypandy J Trealaw 5 Penygralg 9 Mardy 4 Tylorstown 4 Of the 60 applicants at Newport, not one wals a woman. In the Llandyesral district of Carmarthenshire poor relief is general among the aged poor, and, therefore, the fact that there were 40 applications was astonishing. At Neath an old man of 75 had been in receipt of 8e. per week from a kindly ex. employer, but this, of course, did not dis- qualify him. The claims will have to be in all oases investigated by the pension officers, who in due course will make their report to the pension committee. How to Claim. The persons eligible for pensions a.re:- All British subjects (paupers and ex- prisoners excepted) with a smaller income than L31 10B. a year, or 12s. Id. a week, who aj-e now 70 years of age, or will be on or before January 1 next. The scale of pensions is.— Weekly Income Pension. as. Id. (or under) 5s. 9b. Id. 1. 4s. 10s. Id. 38. lis. Id. M 2s. 12s. ld Is. Approved applicants will receive a "pension order" book, with the name and address on the cover. These orders will be signed each week by the old man or woman in whose favour they are drawn, and will be cached over the counter like a postal order. The exact number of forms issued yester- day oannot be known until the chief pension officer at the General Poet Office receives the official returns, but the figures must run into many thousands. INCIDENTS AT CARDIFF. I Extraordinary Career of an Aged Navvy There was not quite the rush for claim forms at Cardiff that might bave been expected, but, on the whole, a respectable number applied at the different post-offices nearest their homes. Uenerally speaking, the applicants were intelligent and very respect- able, and were able to give the post-office officials details in most oases as to paren tage, place of birth, &c. Included in their number were several women. Several of the appli- cants were over 60 years of age, but in most instancee the ages were returned as between 70 and 75. One of the earliest oallerg at the General Poet-office for his form remarked, in reply to the query by the official as to his age, "God only knows. I am over 80." One other applicant gave in his age as 64, and when reminded that he was hardly old enough for a pension, seeing that the age-limit was 70. he stated that he would be 70 next month. Another applicant was old enough to remember the time when there was only one postman in Cardiff and three polioe- men. He had lived in the city all his life One old gentleman was in a peculiar pre- dicament. Hie parents died when he was very young, and he does not know his father's name, nor the exact place of his birth. He was brought up amongst navvies engaged in public works in various districts, passed on from one to another, and as timt went on became a natvy himself, and only knows that he is called John Jones, but whether that is his real name he is not quite certain. A special meeting of the Cardiff pensions committee, which will include the whole of I the city council, will be herd in the City-hall i on Tuesday next to appoint sub-committees and consider other business. On the rising of the peD8ioD8 committee on the same day 1 a special meeting of the city council will be held, when letters will be read from the Oar- diff and District Friendly Societies Council. the Independent Order of Oddfellows, and the Supervisor of Inland Revenue relating to old-age pensions. The meeting will aJso take into consideration the operation of the Act and the regulations of the Local Govern- ment Board, as well as the report of the town-clerk, and they will also fill any vacancies on the pensions committee. Post-Office Incidents At Kidderminster one pensioner gave hil" age as 93. Several men between 80 and 90 years applied at Smethwiek. At Aberdare, where there are 753 resident over 70 years of age, there were 120 appli- cants. At Mountain Ash, where 286 people are eligible,.50 forms were supplied. About 200 applied at Leeds. One applicant stated he had resided in one district of the township for 71 years, and in that long period he had occupied only two houses. An amusing answer was given to a post- master at Stratford, when he was assisting an applicant, and asked the question from the form, "Have you lived in the United Kingdom for twenty years?" "No," boldly answered the applicant. "I have lived an DJI)" life in Stratford." In the Dunmow Union, whioh embraces 25 rural parishes in Essex, there are over 300 men and women entitled to the pension, and the greater part of these applied yesterday. One old lady fixed her age by stating that she was bom in the yeaa- the late Queen was crowned, and another produced an ancient family Bible to support her claim. At King's Lynn one old man called at the Post-office ae early as seven o'clock, and after an animated conversation with the clerk in charge was obliged to depart with the recom- mendation to call again, as the papers were not ready. Several of the applicants were over 90, and the majority were over 80 years of a-ge. Some were paralysed, and had to be carried into the post-office. Among the applicants at Kenni ngtont-road Post-omce was a veteran journalist, aged 81 years, living at Kenndngton, who boaete of the distinction of being the first man who brought to England the news of the flight of Louis Philippe from Paris, and the hoisting of the itepubboan flag over the Hotel de Ville. Owing to a violent storm the tran&- mission of the news was delayed for several days. and Mr. Martin arrived by the first shiu which sailed from Calais to Dover, which he rea-ctoed OlD February 29, 1848.

NEWCASTLE RESULTI - I
NEWCASTLE RESULT I I UNIONIST WINS THE SEAT I The result was declared sooner than expected. The Press Association correspondent says that it surprised no one in the constituency. Mr. Hartley did not make his appearance in the counting-room. MT. Sihortt was the first to attend, shortly after nine o'clock. lie chatted pleasantly with Mr. Renwiok. The latter came in at 10.30. It was then, known that he could not be beaten. A gre" crowd surrounded the Town-hall, and there was loud cheering on the declara- tion of the poll. The figures were:— Mr. G. Eenwiok (U.) 13,863 Mr. E. Sihortt (L.) 11,720 Alderman E. R. Hartley (8oc.) 2,971 Unionist majority over Lib. 2,143 The Candidates' Views on the Result I Interviewed after the declaration of the poll, Mr. lwnwick isaid:I have gone on Tariff Reform. as 6the remedy for unemploy- ment. That has been the only question before the electors from first to last." Mr. Shortt, who was also interviewed, said he attributed the result to side issues. lie complained of misrepresentation on the Licensing Bill, and remarked that unem- ployment had had an adverse effect upon his chances. As to Socialism, he had taken the view that as a politioal force it had no more strength in Newcastle than anywhere else. The Socialists here, as everywhere else, were mere noisy crowds. He did not think tha-t the dear coal agitation had had any effect. The people had laughed at it. In conclusion, he said: -"The two main things to whioh I attribute my defeat are the Licensing Bill and trade depression." Former electiona for the two seats have I resulted as follows:— Labour and Liberal majority in 1.481. 1816. John Morley (B.) 10,681 J. Cnig (8.) 10,172 Sir W. G. Arm- strong (U.) 9,657 BIT X.

Renwiok (U.) 11,223 Dooksmen and Result I The news of the result of the Newcastle eleotipn was received at the Cardiff Docks with a great deal of saitisfaction. Mr. George Renwiok, the successful candi- dated, who is largely interested in the coal and shipping business Off Newcastle, is also connected with Cardiff, where his son, Mr. George Keniwiek, and his brother, Alderman W. H. Renwick, carry on business. There is a large contingent of North- country folk at the Cardiff Docks Newspaper Comments I The "Westminster Gazette" saysAl] the I available evidence goes to show that the losa of the Irish vote to Mr. Shortt lost him the election. Whilst we regret this result, it is clear that, though Tariff Reform wins, it has a majority of the electors against it. The London "Star" r,-rr-arlie:-Thig is a gain of a seat to the Opposition owing to the splitting of the Free Trade vote by the oan- didature of Alderman Hartley, the Sociali&t. The present result is another and a very cogent argument in favour of the second ballot. The "Pall Mall Gazette" speaks of the result as "a great Unionist triumph."
" Power " and " Glory" I
Power and Glory" I LIFE IN THE AGAPEMONE A Marriage in Swansea I The 'birth of the child Power" in the "Abode of Love" at Bridgwater haa ouloe more drawn public art-tent-ion to the doingw of the Agapemonitee. The Rev. W. A. Bell, rector of Charlynch, which is in the imimediat-e neighbourhood of the Agapemorae, suggests that the ArohWshop of Canterbury should be induced to interfere Eund put an end to the scandal. The Rev. Sanyth-Pigott, the self-styled Messiah, he describee, a& a miserable creature. Yesterday Smyth-Pigott went for a motor run with his "spiritual wife," SUrter Ruth, the mother of "Glory" and "Power." They went into Bridgwater, where, practically UIl- noticed, they remained a few moments, making some purchases, then they sped back to Spaxton. Followers of Mr. Prince I The affairs of the Agapemonitee a.nd of I Mr. Prince, predecessor of Smyth-Pigott, have come before the courts of this country on at least two occasions. The first of these occasions was in 1850, when a. petition was presented to the Court of Chancery on hehalf of George Nottidge Thomas, an infant of four years of age, praying that some proper person should be appointed to be his guardian during his I mijinority, and that his father, George Bo»bin- soTi Thomas, might be restrained from apply- ing for any writ of babeae corpus fot the purpose of obtaining P iou or custody of the infant, and a-loo from taking forcible means or otherwise to obtain possession of him or in any manner interfering with him. The facts in the case were that in 1842 the father, who had been a olergy-man of the Church of England, had left that commu- nion atnd had become a follower of a M; Prince, who had also been a c.crgyman of the Established Church, but had become the founder of a sect over which he possessed great influence. Rich Sisters' Conversion I In the same year Agnes Nottidge and four of her sisters, being then all unmarried, and residing with their mother, became fol- lowers of Mr. Prince. They were eaca entitled to a fortune of between Z5,000 and L6,000. In June, 1846, Miss Agnes Nottidge consented to marry Thomas; and two of her sisters consented to marry two other followers of Mir. Prince. On July 9, 1845, Thomas and Agues Notti-d.ge. were married at Swansea Church, amd her two sisters were married to the two other members of the Agapemone. In February, 1846, Mrs. Thomas, having manifested insubordination to Prince, alJlIXV' renitily by expressing the desire to continue to ooha.bit with her husband, was deserted by her husband by Prince's orders. In the same year the infant George Nottidge Thomas was born. Prince, with Thomas and others of his fol- lowers, went to reside together at an estab- lishment called the Agapemone, where they professed and acted upon the doctrines that- the day of grace had passed and the day of judgment commenced, and that prayer, therefore, was ispnirefluoue. The infant remained in the care of his mother aud maternal grandmother, a.t the residence of the latter, who properly provided for his maintenance and education. The case came before Yice-ohanoeHor Knight on May = 1850, and his lordship granted the application. More Critioism The second oooeusion arose im the course of a.n action brought by Ralph Clarke Nottidge, as administrator of his sister, Louisa. Jane Nottidge, against Henry James Prince, the principal of the Agapemone, to obtain from the defendant eeouritiee to the value of £5.725 7s. 7d., whioh had been transferred by Mfes Nottidge to the defendant. The learned vice-chancellor gave judgment for the plaintiff, with coats.
Couple Die Together I
Couple Die Together I COULD STAND IT NO LONGER" I Seeing th-at a Southampton public-house named the Ghiswick Arms, in &t. Mary's. street, had not been opened long after the oustomary hour yesterday, an entrance was effected by the police, who found that Mr. and Mce. G. A. Collins, the landlord and his wife, were dead. The circumstances pointed to oxalic acid poisoning, and a letter Wt by the ma.n stating that he "could stand "it no longt&r" indicated that he had given the poison to his. wife and then takeu some himself. Mrs. Coilins was an invalid, suffering from paralysis, and it seems that her husband, who has been depressed, was u-pset by the departure the previous day of a servant accustomed to look after his wife. Two glasses showing traces of oxa/Mc acid were found in the bedirooan. It is stated that husband and wife were devoted to each other.

The Cotton Lock-out I NO SIGN OF A SETTLEMENT A settlement of the dispute in the Lanca- shire cotton tirade eeipms to-day as far off as ever. The official orgam. of the operatives appeals to the cardroom workers to take a second baJJot, but there is no sign of this being done. The spinners' executive meet to-morrow, and probably their anomalous position will foirai a subject for discussion. As yet there is 11110 indication of active intervention on the part of the Board of Trade. Panic-Stricken Shareholders I A Walkden correspondent telegraphs that the pouic stricken shareholders in the many new spinning companies affected by the lock-out are unload:ing tbeor shares at big sacrifices. Some on wihich fifty shillings have been paid are being sold to-day for ten Sh illiugs. Add andidates' Views. Death to Liberalism I Alderman Hartley, w<ho also discussed I the situation, said he did not recognise the defeat. His party had succeeded in keeping Liberals out, and they would do so every- II where unless uiberais made a change. This action would tend towards reform. Death to Liberalism w'a.s his cry. After paying all expenses of their election, the Socialists had a handsome balance in hand, probatbly sufficient to pay the returning officer's fees in another contest.
64 Slow Murder"
64 Slow Murder" CRUEL CADOXTON HUSBAND I Sara.h Webley, of 5, Arthur-street, Cadox- ton, sought a separation from her husband, ALfred George Webley, at Barry Polioe-court to-day in consequence of his alleged persis- tent cruelty. MT. J. A. Hughes, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the complainant, who said she was married to the defendant on the l&th of November, 1901, at the Cardiff Registry Office. There were three children, the eldest being six years of age and the youngest one month. They went to live at Barry six months ago* having previously resided at Cardiff. The d,efendlant had been very oruel t* r, and had often threatened to c'ut her Giroat. He frequently struck hex, but not. when anyone else was present. A month before her baby was born defendant threw water over her and the children when they were in bed, and then smashed the jug in the passage. He had thrown milk over her, and on another occasion threw a pound of pork chow and two plates into. the fire, at the same time threatening to do for her when her sister had gone. A fortnight ago her has- band picked up a knife or fork off the table and ran after witness, but she got out of the house, and had not returned since. Her husband was a house painter, earning on an average L2 a week, and he had told her he was entitled to £ 1,800 and two houses. Ma.ry Thomas, a married woman, of Ponty- pool, a sister of the complainant, said she bad been living with the parties for the last eight weeks. Webley had cruelly ill-treated his wife, and on one occasion took a pen- knife from his pocket and drew it across her neok. "It is slow murder for her, amd no one knows it," added witness. Defendant said his wife had got into trouble in Cardff, and had figured in the polioe-ooiirt for assaulting another woman. The com-plainant had out his bead open with a poker, and he had been obliged to have the wound stitched. Wheal he had returned from work since living in Barry, no fire or supper awaited him, and his wife and her sister would be in the company of women of bad character in the street, who hooted him. Mrs. Thomas wanted to get her sister back to Pontypool. It was untrue that he (defen- dant) was coming into £ 1,800. He might, however, receive about X10. A Deparation order was granted, dotend-ant to contribute 12s. 6d. per week towards his wife's maintenance, and pay the costs. Mrs. Wehtey wae aiso aillowed the ea&tody of the children. Defendant: Can I have the eldest girl? Mr. N-eale; you have heard the decision of the Bench.
" Beating the Wind "
Beating the Wind A COLLIER'S SINGULAR DEATH Bemarkable evidence was tendered at an inquest hold a.t Bargoed to-day on James Carpenter (24), who was brought home in an unconscious state on Monday and died the same evening. Mr. A. Prosser, solicitor, and Mr. >» Ucox appear-ed for the Powell Duffryn Co., and Mr. Eva.n Thomas for the relatives. George Powell, a collier, said he worked with Carpenter. The deceased was wrench- ing some coal with a hor when he complained of pains in the head. He saiid be would go out for some fresh air. Witness followed directly afterwards, and found Carpenter lying down insensible and grroaning. On being conveyed home Dr. Dan Thomas saw him. The doctor now said he found an old soar on the right temple. The brain and ail the organs were perfectly healthy. In his opinion death was due to diabetic coma, which might have been brougibt on by extreme exertion. He wae not quite clear that it was due to tbt previous injury. 1 The Coroner: We have nothing positive anyhow. He compla.ined of headaches. Is paJn in the head one of the symptoms? —It may be the early symptoms. I don't think you need have a serious injury to have diabetes. The coma might come from extreme exertion. The Coroner: I am not prepared to finish on what we have got here to-day, and very far from it too. I w-ant something more specific. We are beating the wind. It transpired that the man had been idle a. week ju-st before last Christmas from a blow received in the ooliliery. The inquest wae adjourned until Monday next to get the evidence of two other workmen.

CARDIFF STEAMER ASHORE I Up to one o'olock this afternoon Mr. Up to one o'oloclt t.hös a.f,tern<>oo Mr. Edward NichoII, manatging owner of We Car- diff steamship Welbeck Hall, ashore at Dairyetta, near Port Said, had not received any further news of the vessel, but a rumour wa-s current to the effect that she was not in a favourable position. It will be remembered tha.t some time ago Mr. Edward Nicholl made. a strong protest I against P.P.I, policies being taken oat on one of his vessels by persons not interested. It is understood that this ie the vessel he referred to. She, however, completed her voyage without mishap, and again left Oar. diff ajbout three weeks ago with coal for Port Said. It is not known whether there have been any extensive placing of P.P.I. policies on the vessel for the present voyage. She was quoted on the market this morning for at 10 guineas per cent. The master. Captain Campbell, of Shields, has served on the vessel for fourteen years as chief officer and master. It is believed that the crew of 26 hands are all safe. The steamer, whioh was formerly the ste>a.xn»hip Lady Palmer, was constructed under special survey in 1889, and is the only vessel in the Cardiff "Hall" line not specially built for Mr. Edward Nioholl. The owner states that the vessel is lying on a. sandy bottom, and there is very little danger. A Lloyd's Port igaid message states that the Welb-k Hail's cargo is berag lightened.

Rich Woman's BodyI - I
Rich Woman's Body I I FOUND MONTHS AFTER DEATH I A terrible discovery was made late last night in an empty houee at Kamsgate. The loo.il police, acting on inquiries made from Lomfton by the relatives of Miss Taylor, the occupant of a riohly-furnished house in Vale-square, entered her house. They found her dead in bed. The state of the body showed that she had been dead for several months. There was a pile of correspondence just inside the front door. Everything in the house was in perfect order. It is und<srstood (says to-day'e telegrams) tjhat search at the house has not yielded satisfactory results as to the oarose of death. The body was removed to the mortuary, where the police-surgeon made a.n examina- tion of the remains, and the result will be made known at the inquest. From what tradesmen say she indicated seven -Aoel,-s ago she did not want them to call any more. The cause of death (says the Central News) de stated to have been starvation. Miss Annie Taylor had for long lived alone, a.nd when the police entered the house they I found amongst the letters, Ac., some con- taining messages asking why no replies had been received to previous communications. There was no food in the house, and the body, which lay in bed, was in a terrible condition, death evidently having ooourred many week, ago. The deceased lady was of considerable means, and owned the house, which was elaborately furnished.
Missing P.O. PacketI
Missing P.O. Packet I NEWPORT MESSENGER CHARGED I William John Wheeler (seventeen), Annes- ley-road, Newport, "8.B charged on remand, before the local bench to-day that he, being a, servant in the employ of the Poetmaster- General, did feloniously steal a postal packet <fOn.tai«ing money, postage stamps, Ac. Mr. Lyndon Cooper appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Poet master-General, and saiod. that recently several letters had been missed It would be remembered that a package of letters, which the prisoner had admitted open.ing and throwing into the River Wye, had subsequently been found in the River Severn. Mr. Frank Wint, a olerk in the secretary's OM-. Post Office, London, said be had been making inquiries at Newport con- cerning the loss of certain letters. On Monday last he made up what is known as a "teat" letter. The package contained money, a note, and stamps, which was posted at a pillar box at New- port railway station. The folowing morn- ing he saw prisoner at the Newport Post OflVce. He told him who he was, and cautioned him. Witness then told him ItAhzt a letter addressed "Oak-street. Isle of I II !1rl1t" bad been in the letters, which he had dealt with that morning, and it had disappeared, and be had been seen to throw a written communication away in Oak-street, Newporte, which had been enclosed in the package. He said, "Yes, it is true." He then took out a pooket?book, which contained the stamps, and with ?ther coins taken from his pocket wi.tJ. id?ntaC<'d two h?K-crowns which had been inark??d and put in the "te?t" packet. In his pockets were found coins to the value of R3 16s. 5d., which he admitted he had taken from letters. He also had in his possession a watch a-nd two postal orders for 156. and lfts. respectively, which he said he had taken from letters. Deteotive Albert Blake, of the Metropolitan Police attached to the General Poet Office, saAu he had kept observation on the prisoner on Tuesday morning last, and saw him throw the piece of paper (prodaoed) away in Oak- street, which he picked up and identified as the communication included in a postal package which he had seen made up by last witness. Prisoned said. "I don't know what made me do it." Inspector Bartlett said prisoner was en- gaged as an indoor messenger at the Central Police-office, Newport, and for the past six months had been engaged as an assistant temporary postman. In acordance with in- structions he took a package from the pillar- box at Newport Station on Monday, and put it among the letters to be dealt with by the prisoners, who should have thrown it out as a "mis-stort." Inspector S. Oox Mtd he received prisoner intQ custody from Detective Blake. He made -no reply to the charge. Prisoner, who had nothing- to say, was committed to take his triad at the next Mon- isionth Assizes, bail being allowed.
Where is He P
Where is He P 0ATHAYS BOY MISSING I I Thomas Morgan, Rfteen Yrø of age, bas'j myBteriously disappeared from hie home at M, Oobuoot, Oathays, Dothing ha-vin?  been heard or seen of him &inee 9.30 Tuesday I morning. His parents are, naturally, greatly perturbed, and both have been personally soouring the districts. Yesterday M-r. Morgan spent all day in the Bihondda Valley, visiting his relations at Merthyr Vale, Porth, and Trehafod, whilst Mrs. Morgan has been making inquiries at the Bu-te Docks. Twelve months ago the boy was a telegraph messenger, but forsook this, and worked with his fathe,r as a widow-cleaner. He fell ill of diphtheria some months ago, however, and spent six weeks at the Sanatorium, and left there with a very weak heart.

Eklis) referred to a statement recently made by the aocr?M?ry of the tramwaymen's trade representatives to the efft that the men were not paid t4me-and-a??akf wages for night work. He wae &way on his holidays at the time, but on Me return he s&w the men's representatives, and explained that the men were paid time and half for work after midnight. It was admitted by the men's representatives that they had been under a misapprehension in the matter, and that has (.the engiTheer's) vencrion was correct, promis- ing to make the explanation publio, but they had not yet done 90.
CHIMNEY STACK " THROWN "
CHIMNEY STACK THROWN Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. Larfcins, the well-known London steeplejack, successfully threw a huge chimney stack, weighing about 900 tons, at Wallingford, Berks. The chimney stack, which is the property of Mr. G. D. Faber, M.P. (who was present and wit- nessed the fall), stood on the bank of the Thames, adjoining Weir Pool. It was in a tottering state, and as it defaced and spoiled the beauty of the landscape the hon. gentle- mien decided on its removal. It was a square stack, 130 feet high, and Us demolition was effected without the slightest hitch. to
"CLEAN AS NEW PIN"I I
"CLEAN AS NEW PIN" BOARDINGHOUSE8 RE-VISITED Thanks to the account of Councillor Edward Nicholl's explorations among the sailors' boarding-houses of Cardiff on Wednesday, tboee places whereof the dirt and creepy things had made the amateur inspector foel "creepy" himself that same afternoon, were all on Thursday at3 nearly clean as it is pos- sible tor,such places to be. Early in the forenoon the councillor and a friend called into a few of the houses that he inspected previously. The view that net their critical gaze in each case seemed to utterly belie Wednesday's story. "Hollo!" said he to the genius of the first establishment visited, "you've changed things a bit since yesterday." "Yes, pare." explained the affable boarding- house-keeper, Mistaire Jack he come here yesterday the night. 011, yes, may be half- pas' nina the olocka. He say, 'You cleans dis. you cleana dat!' So I maka cleana?" It was great trouble, but Mister Jack" insisted on having places limewashed and certain little patches scraped clean. He viac peremptory, and po there was great trouole. But the place in each case was put even ae he ordered it to be. Another house, the same thing. You could eat your dinner off the doormat. Still another house-a. Chinese establish- ment-pure as the driven snow in its spot- lessness. Mast ah Jack him come aJong maybe eleven-maybe bap-pas' 'leben colocka night time las' nig, He speakee, chop-chop make ebbly ting clean. What foh? I no can tell! Dis place alia time velly clean. He epcak take away smell. Hap-pas, 'leben colocka velly late take away smell. Plenty tlouble. plenty bobbolee. Anyhow, I stay all nigH an' take away smell!" The Celestial was right. lingering like the ghost of a lost aroma, the faint shadow- whiffs of fish and poppy momentarily tan- talised the expectant nostril, and then were; lost in the more potent fumea of lime chloride and ca.rbolic. "Mr. Jack" had exorcised the smell. "A.<5 far as I could gather," said Mr. Nielioll, to a Western Mail" represen- | tative later in the day, "'Mr. Jack' is the I sanitary inspector. And he evidently visited the district last night with results that are most wholesome. Re wae diligent in his, work. As one Chinaman said, he was still at it after eleven o'clock, whereas other boarding-house masters were told before nine o'olock to 'pœt their houses in order.' The result was that this morning we found every- j thing creditably clean," Dr. Walford's Visit Later in the forenoon Dr. Walford, the health offioer, went down to the Docks, and made a tour of the sailors' boarding-houses in company of Mr. Nicholl and a small party. Dr. Robinson was expected to have come down for the same purpose by noon, bat had not appeared by that hour, being probably detained by professional emer- gencies. Interviewed on the result of hie tour with Dr. Walford, Mr. Nicholl expressed himself as highly pleased with the hygienic results of one night's supervision, but he reitera-ted his statement that the present system in regard to saUora' boarding-houses at Cardiff is not good. The city oounoil should take the matter ap," said he, "and not let the fair fa-me of Cardiff be smudged by these nasty places in the heart of its business centre. I do not wish to propose the destruction of any exist- ing state of thiugs without suggesting a remedy; and my idea in this matter is that the Authorities ought to recognise the neces- sity for the existence of quarters for alien .ilors. with their alien and not always Electable ways, a.nd they should endea-vour to ooncentrate these aliens in given districts, and not permit houses for their aocommoda- tion to be opened by anybody and anyhow and anywhere, all over the business distriot. The opening of one of these houses unmis- takably depreciates all property values in the neighbourhood; and that fact alone--&part. from all question of moral sentiment—should ensure action by the authorities. "I would suggest that the authorities should purchase whole blocks in such t-horoughfares as, ea.y, patrick-street, and there build i proper houses for the accommodation of alien Bailors. They could have the Chinese all in one block. the Indians in another, the South Americans in another, and so on. Then every-bay in each quarter would know what to expect therein. The police would know precisely who to watch, the aliens themselves would be happier in a congeries each of their own kind, and the property owners would have nothinir to D-wimble at." The Chief Evil I "As regards the other side of the problem?" inquired the newspaper representative. Do 1 you suggest any remedy in respect of the custom of keeping English and Welsh girls as lures to bring black and yellow sailor rten to some of these lodging-houses?" "Ilie subject is a delicate one to diacuas in detail for publication," replied Mr. Nicholl, "but you understand very well that what you mention is the chief evil tha-t has to be taken in hand and drastically treated in this matter. The details are more for the consideration of the police and the adminis- trative authorities than for that of private individuals. At the same time, those who know the Eaet and the tropics through expe- rience, as I do, will realise the social and political gravity of this scandal and how it lowers 116, the ruling Tace, in the eyies of these people of colour. I think I am safe in saying that east of Suez you cannot find a single real Englishwoman in a house of ill-repute-be it a so-called sailors' boarding-house or an establishment of a professedly less honest nature. English women who find their way into such places are simply deported. Up China way and in I Japan and the Philippines there are Ameri- can women who profess to be no better than they ought to be. and trade on that profes- sion. But there are no Englishwomen. In India or the Straits, even Amelienn women of ill-repute are not allowed into the country for fear their presence would injusg the prestige of the Issbib' or the -tuan., Even Indian potenta-tes maY not have English wives or psendo-wives; and it is only a few years since a young Ma-lay ruler well known in this country got a couple of Australian girls into difficulties by importing them to his country as typists. They were not allowed to land. The British police had them deported, though the State is nominally an independent one. The same rule applies everywhere in the Bast, the Far East, and the Eastern tropics. Yet the coolie classes of these nations, whose rulers may not look upon s-n Englishwoman in their own land, come here to Oardiff and secure Englishwomen and girls under the conditions I explained to you yesterday." Dr Robinson's Visit I Dr. James Robinson, J.P.. chairman of the Cardiff Health Committee, made a tour of inspection of the Cardiff boarding-houses on Thursday. He visited fifteen indiscriminately in the Docks distriot, and he saw nothing in any single house to which he could object as a or a medical man. He intends to compile a. report on the result of his visit. At the conclusion of his inspection Dr. Robinson expressed himself greatly surprised a.t the general cleanliness of the majority of the establishments visited. Doctors' Evening Hambde Dr. Kobinson, accompanied by Drs. Can- tillon and Smith, made a further t<mr of t,he board"•ng-houses in t,he evetning. They were preceded by Sanitary Inspector Holden, who flashed hie bull's eye lantern upon hidden unoanny places, and a "Western Mail" representative waø permitted to accompany the party. In one Greek establishment Dr. 9mith haxarded a few lines from Homer, but from tih- deputy there was no intelligent response, for the fellow seemed to be puzzled by his own language. But, as Dr. Cantallon was not slow to point out-, these modern Greeks are naturally untamili- with the lenguag-e in ita anoimt form. Are the Shipowners to Blame P We have received a number of letters deal- ing with Councillor Nichoil's crusade, but pressure on our space is too great to give tiiem fully. Mr. C. Dwmm, secretary of the Oardiff Branch of the National Sailors and Fix* men's Union, writes:— I should like to point out that the National Sailors and Firemen's Union has constantly pointed out Mie bad conditions prevailing at Cardiff, but no notice has ever been taken of our complaints. I am of opinion that if shipowners would employ British, or at least competent European, sea- men, and pay for the best men, this would certainly decrease the number of low aliens in Cardiff. But as long as Mr. Nicholl and his co-shipowners prefer the cheap Greek or Asiatic, they aire encouraging the degrading conditions so clearly put forth by Mr. Nioholl. We &re of opinion that an altera- tion in the grantiug of licences will hi no way alter the conditions. If undesirables were not given preference of employment they would soon olear out. and muoh healthier conditions would prevail in bokilrd- ing-howses, and amongst all seamen sailing out of Cardiff." Iffir. William Johnston, of Grange, writes in similar strain. The orux of the whole ques- tion, he says, lie. in the employment of men at a living wage. "A Ratepayer" .wishes to reftrte Mr. Nioholl's statements- "I have," he saiys, had many years practical experience of the boarding-houses in But-etr-t, and must say I have never seen anything to confirm Mir. Nioholl's statements. I myself have bean in doaens of these houses, and oan speak per- sonally of the thorodVh eieanKxiess of the Preoetees, beth imidB sud outside."
Keeping AccountsI
Keeping Accounts THE AUDITORS' CONFERENCE I The conference of the Incorporated Accountants and Auditors was resumed to- day at the City-hall, Cardiff, under the presidency of Mr. Harry Lloyd Price. Mr. J. Alloock, city treasurer, Cardiff, read an exhaustive and ably-written paper on looal taxation and municipal accounts. Dealing with borrowed capital and seeking funds with regard to tramway track, it was generally admitted that some years before the equated period for the re-payment ot the loan was reached the whole of the track would requixe renewing, and the sinking fond in hand would not be sufficient to re- pay that portion of the original loan. Where. during the period between the construction of trainways and the time when the track. cars, or machinery bad to be renewed, the revenue balance had been partly or wholly transferred to the relief of rates. without first satisfying the claims of depreciation, a very question. able state of finance would be brought into existence, for the ratepayers of 1908 would be receiving benefits which would have to be made good by the ratepayers of 1918. Mr. Allcock also dealt with the taxation of land values. A long discussion followed, in which diver- gent views were expressed on the question of funds being provided for depreciation wfien sinking funds were provided. Mr. Wrolley (Southampton) advocated one administrative body and one rate for muni- cipal areas, and also the equalisation of ??r rates. A teliing speech was delivered by Mr. Wil- son (Leeds) in which he deprecated the for- mation of depreciation funds, and said an equal poor rate was a fallacy. Vote of thanks were accorded to Mr. All- cock for his paper to the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, the local committee, and others.
POST-CARD FASHION
POST-CARD FASHION Has Reached fts Climax The axMxual report of the Postmaster- Gtenera.1 was issued to-day. According t-(> this, it is estimated that the number of postal packets delivered in the suited Kingdom during- t'he year ended March last were 4,972,070,000. Letters, which totalled 2,963,900,000, show an arrearage increase of 2.1 per cent, only, as against 3-6 per cent, in previous years. Positoards numbered 858,300,000, bei-ng an increase of 3,2 per cent., as compared with 3.9 in 1906-7. Thris, says the Postmaster-General, the saiggesticMi made in his previous report, that the exceptional growth due to the popu- larity of picture postcards, has reached its olimax, and that the annual increase has returned to the normal. The report, in dealing with telegraphs, says the decrease in the number of ordinary tele- grams is most marked in the case of London loca.1 traffic, and is due, no doubt, to the increasing popularity of the telephone.

NORTH-RD. LIGH T AND MORALS…
NORTH-RD. LIGH T AND MORALS I The "Lord Mayor (Alderman Illtyd Thomas) presided at a meeting of the CWdiff Lighting Committee this morning, when Mx. A. J. Stone called attention to the state of that portion of Oathays Park abutting upon North-road. and sadd em improvement in the lighting and polioe arrangements should be made. The residents of Blaokweir were afraid to allow their wives and daughtere to go out at night. The City Engineer (Mr. A. TTarpur) agreed tha.t better lighting was necessary in North- road. The 1-whtc were dim and diamal. A suggestion by Mr. Foredike to refer the matter to the watch oommittee, with a view to better police supervision, was met by an objection by the Lard Mayor that it would be a dangerous precedent, and would lead to friction between committees. The electric light oommitt-ee was not a committee to deal with the morale of the town-that was for the watch committee. It was decided that the engineer report upon the matter.
"KICKED LIKE A FOOTBALL"_I
"KICKED LIKE A FOOTBALL" A complicated case was heard at Black- wood to-day, in which Thomas Blunt and Thomas Hammond (28;, l'engam, colliers, were summoned far assaulting Charles Edwards. Edwards's wife was summoned for assaulting Blunt's wife, a.nd there were cross-summonses against Mrs. Blunt and Mts. Haim/mond for assaulting Mrs. Edwards. Charles Edwards told the court a graphic story of Blunit's appearance in front of his house and of a challenge to "fight it out" in order to settle the differences existing between them. As witness refused. Blunt struck him in the stomach three times, and witness's wife rushed to his assistance with a hatchet helve. Blunt dragged witnees across the road, and then Hammond, who had come up, assisted Blunt to carry on the assault. They kicked him about like a foot- ball, and when he had got into the house Blunt kicked the door in. Witnesses were called to prove tha-t Blunt was the aggressor. Blunt was fined £3 and ooste. All the other summonses and eross-sumimonsee were dis- missed.
I UNCOVERED HATCHWAYS I
UNCOVERED HATCHWAYS I To-day (before the Cardiff magistrates) the Great Western Colliery, were summoned by Mr. Thomas Owen Edwards (his Majesty's Inspector of Factories) for leaving the hatch- way of a sailing vessel uncovered or unfenced whilst being loaded with coal at Oardiff Docks. Mr. Gilbert Bobertson, for the defence, expressed regret on behalf of his clients who bad given special instructions for the regula- tions to be observed, and now reiterated those instructions. Under the circumstances he submitted the case was one that might be met by the infliction of a nominal nenaitv Pined 10s. and costs. Pyman, Watson, and Co. were defendants in a somewhat similar case—for using hatch- covers for stages during the loading of a vessel, Mr. Handoock (Messrs. Maclean and Handcock) defendant, and raising the point that there was no case agiainet his clients, who were not liable, as it was not th"y who employed the trimmers. At the same time. it was admitted that defendants' foreman drew the money from them and paid the trimmers. Fined 20s. a.nd costs.
