"Oh When the O%jng went into the air I distinctly saw what looked like a couple of wheels on the bottom of a. little carriage, and at the tail end of it was a fan whirring away as you hear a niotor-oar do some- times." The Scene of the Ascent. Ijethbridge's credibility was tested in various little ways known to an experienced journalist, and as he came unshaken out of the <• rcss-enammation of several of the office staff it was decided to take him to the spot. Caerphilly Mountain is well known to CardifiLa-ns, because it is the highest ground in the district. For miles around the spot in question there is not a hedgerow to be seen. It is open hill land, with, but few houses near, and the only living things to be seen on the expanse are the little moun- talin shoop which at this time of the year race over the whole ground with their lamb?, unrestrained by any barriers. A more londy sipot, go near the centre of a vast population as Cardiff is, would be hardly conceivable. The incline within a quarter of a mile of tlie spot in question is so steep that the taxicnb failed to negotiate it, and had to be left behind while we c-ondueted our investiga- tions. Without the slightest hesitation Mr. Leth- bridge pointed out the spot, shown in the accompanying photograph, as place where the airship lay aground. It certainly is about the most even patch in the vicinity. I and in the little ridge of loose earth, running < diagonally across the patch of green between the two roads converging at this point, there ) ware found distinct tramo of recent dis- turbance, as if a plough-oh?mve, or some tmch hard contrivance, had boan drawn "i,oss it. Asked to iicte the extent of f ground t,he object covered, Mr. Ijethbridge marked out the distance, which patetl out at about 45 feet. The photograph will explain the position to a, nicety. Coming from the direction of Caer- philly, he had to turn a fairly sharp bend, which brought him on to the skyline of the men standing on the spot where a cigar- shaped mark has been added to the picture. The ridfee of loose earth referred to will be plainly seen within that mark. Notwithstanding the hard state of the ground, owing to the drought, there were signs of recent trampling on the grass, and although the vicinity was very free from any loose substances, other than stones, there was quite a collection of torn papers, &0" on the spot itself. One result of the search made was the finding of a red label attached to a chain and small plug. The accompany- ¡ ing photograph of it carries it,s own tale. Amother lind was of peculiar interest. It was the notehead of a London firm of stock, share, and bond doalers out in two. On the rapper portion, which bea.rs the flrm,g address, there is not the slightest trace of amy writing, but on the lower portion there s-till remai.i faint outlines of a typewritten letter, and amongst the words that can bo deciphered on this piece, with some diffi- culty, aTe" provincial centres, "rest assiured that we shall not," the fullest con- fid-ollsoe," this letter amply justified," &c. Whatever kind of ink wa.s ospd for this letter, it certainly is not of an indelible nature. All About Airships. I A giaiioe over the slips of newspapers found on the spot revealed the very remark- able faot that almost every one of them contained refenemioefl to airships or to the Germa,n Army. For instance, a piece of a weekly newspaper" bears an a.rtiole with the headings, IVo.,r in tho air. Government appoints a committee of experts. Bid for supremacy. Wright Brothers have a con- fereiKse with Mr. Haldame," Ac. A piece of the "Daily Telegraph" has reference to the German Emperor and Army. Strewn all over the place were about a I couple of dozen of small bits of well-made blue paper, bearing a mass of figures and letters of the alphabet formed in a style distinctly different to that of the average English caiigraphy. There was also quite a I quantity of pulpy paper, somewha,t similar I to papier-mache, such as might be used as | packing, and not. very dissimilar to the j appearance of a cartridge wad. The inference immediately drawn. of course, was that ?he machine had been grounded in order to repair some of the gear, and that this stuff was used in the procees. Another thing pioked up as a strange find on such an outlandish spot was the lid of a tin box, bearing words showing that the box c,ont,a-i-n-ed paste for polish it! g metal. Whatever the explanation of these finds may be, there appears to be absolutely no reason to lightly dismiss the story of Mr. Lethbridge. In fact, they circumstantially bear him out, and, in view of the undoubted j appearances of mysterious airships on other parts of the coast, there is every reason to conclude tnat the Bristol Channel is now j claiming the atteThtion of those sailing the air, with good or bad indent. SEEN OVER THE CARDIFF DOCKS1, "Swishing Sound" Overhead I In the early hours of this morning we received a telephonic intimation from the Queen Alexandra Dock that. an airship j had been seen overhead at about 1.20, i and the names of no less than seven witnesses were given to vouch for the story. These w?je five Waltriiumers, ~iz.: -W. John, C. Hayman, A. Bra?ey, C. Har- wood, and J. Thomas—a signalman named Westlake, and Dick Squires, another work- man employed about the dock. At the time given, states our informant, they were near the' foreshore, when a swishing" sound overhead attracted their attention. It was too dark to clearly dieting-uiah any object. but the men saw two lighta-" a kind of flashing searchlight," they explained- which were visible for about three or four minutes, and appeared to be going in the direction of Newport, and then turning towards Weston. Others on duty at the Docks at the time failed to notice the strange visitor. Westlake's Statement Robert Westlake, signalman, in a statement made to-day, is reported to have said: At 1.15 this morning, while attending to my duties signalling trains at King's Junc- tion, Queen Alexandra Dock, I was startled by a weird obj-oct flying in the air. In appearance it represented a boat of cigar shape, and wa-s making a whizzing noise. It was lit by two lights, which could be plainly seem. It was travelling at a great rate, and was elevated at a distance of half- a-mile, making for eastward. A number of men working on the steam- ship Arndale also saw the airship. It came from the direction of Newport, took a curve over the docks, and passed over the Channel towards Weeton, being clearly in view for a minute or two before the lights on board were suddenly extinguished. No Official Report. It has been stated in some quarters that an official report concerning the nocturnal visitant has been made to the Cardiff Rail- way Company, but this, we are informed, is not correct. On the other hand, it is stated that the men named above as eye-witnesses of the ship are above the average in intelli- gence, and are not likely to have imagined anything of the sort. The Docks police have received no report in the matter, and amongst the members of that force an open mind is being maintained.
Oddfellows' Funds
Oddfellows' Funds CARDIFF SECRETARY'S CONFESSION William Selby, a painter, formerly secretary of the Loyal Heath Lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellows (M.U.), was summoned before Mr. Milner Jones at Cardiff Police- court to-day for withholding certain sums belonging to the society. Mr. 8-. F. Forsdike Mceecuted; and in open- ing stated that an investigation of the books showed a deficiency of £76 7s. Id.made up of £59 Os. Gid. paid to him by members and zC37 7s. 01(1. entered in his books and not handed over to the society. On Tuesday, April 27, the trustees met, and lar. Gabb, one of the trustees, put a question direct to the defendant, who agreed that he had had money, and that he had tried to get some to re-pay it. Defendant was then told that proceedings would have to be taken., He admitted the withholding, a.nd he (Mr. Forsdike) contended that fraudulent withholding followed. Of course, it had to be proved that the defendant acted with fraudulent intent, and, while they could not say what was in the mind of defendant, the very nature of the with- holding w-as fraudulent. A judgment summons (said the advocate) was of no use at all. Mr. Harry Elsoott Ga.bb, of the Hea,th Hotel, one of the trustees; siaid tha.t he asked the defendant if he was in a position to pay all money due to t.he lodge, and he said, "No; I have tried every possible means to get it." Witness asked him if he had any friends to become security, and he eai dhe had tried them all. Defendant ceased to be secretary on February 9. Mr. Jonas Holloway, Rectory-road, Canton, spoke to auditing the books, but, in answer to defendant, admitted that a. sum of £1 9s. 3d. was received by someone else. Defen- dant began to go a little wrong in 1906. Defendant: If I could have paid it in any way I would do so. I have offered to pay it by instalments, and have offered security by my brother. It was intended to get as weM, but they specified £ 30 down, ,a,nd that, I told them, I could not do. I was out of working owing to sickness during the last three years, and have been practically on my beam ends. only recently I started work. Mr. Miluer-Jones (to Mr. Forsdike): You want money? Mr. Forsdike: Of course, we want the money, but an order for payment, without the possibility Af imprisonment Mr. Milner-Joines: Oh, yes. I will do that. There is plenty of evidence of fraud. I fine him CS, including costs, and to re-pay L75, or go to prison for three months, but I sus- pend it for one month, and (to the defen- dant) If by then yo.u pa.y a. certain amount perhaps the society may not press for a commitment.
"EXACTING TO SAY THE LEAST"
"EXACTING TO SAY THE LEAST" At Merthyr to-day Evan Hughes, pIurmbcT, Merthyr, was summoned for deserting hie wife. Mr. F. P. Charles appeared for the complainant, and Mo-. F. 8, Simons for the defendant. The case had been before the bench on a previous occasion, and. tdio stipendia.ry had made a maintenance order. An appeal had been entered against his worship's decision, and the Divisional Court had sent the case down for re-hearing. The facts were that in August of 1907, when the parties were living with the wife's mother, the defendant left the house and wrote a letter to the complainant, in which he said: "This iN to inform yon that. I have gone home, and &hall not live with you brutes any more, so my wish is for you to apply; for a separation order towards your keep or a m,utulal agreement, to be signed by a solicitor, for which I shall pay expenses." An agreement was prepared, and for nearly twelve months the defendant allowed his wife 12s. 6d. a woeli for the support of herself and the child of the marriage. Mrs. Huglies now in court emphatically declared that she woii-ld never resume cob agitation with her husband, and the Stipendiary, who described her as "exacting, to say the least," dismissed the summons.

WIFE'S APPEAL TO HUSBAND
WIFE'S APPEAL TO HUSBAND Mr. Justice Hargrave Deane in the Divorce Court yesterday granted Mrs. Mima Harley a decree of restitution of conjugal rights against her husband, Mr. Edward Mortimer Harley, to be obeyed within fourteen days. In 1907 the wife had to go to different healtn resorlc. SulMequcntiy her husband instituted divorce proceedings against her, and the peti- tion ended in favour of the wife. In Decem- ber last she wrote him:—"My dear Husband, —It is now just two years since you and I have met, and <mly a year since I was able to clear myself from the terrible charges you brought against me. During the months past I have had no word from you, and I feel I must now make an attempt at a reconcilia- tion with you before we drift hopelessly apart, and to try and banish the past from my mind. I aek you to give the matter your serious consideration, and whether you will not give me the home and protection a wife is entitled to." The husband replied:—"My dear Mima,-I was surprised to receive your letter after two years of separation. You mention that you think a reconciliation might take place. I do not need to give the matter my consideration, for long ago I made up my mind it would be impossible on my part to renew marital relations, and you must take this as the last word on the sub- ject."
I FIREMEN AS REMOVERS
I FIREMEN AS REMOVERS A remarkable scene was witnessed in Berlin yesterday in the Bruderstrasse, when a large business firm moved into a neigh- bouring street. This firm, in addition to a number of ordinary workmen skilled in such matters, had employed sixteen men of the fire brigade as extra workers. This got to the ears of the unemployed, who assembled in a. large crowd, demanding that the fire- men should be dismissed. So great was the tumult that the police in large numbers h.ad to appear on the scene, and with the greatest difficulty order was restored. The firm had to yield, and the firemen were dis- missed.

IThe I'D.S. Windel I" Case1
I The I'D.S. Windel I" Case 1 I PRISONERS ACAIN IN COURT. The two men, Bernard Isaac Robert (the alleged "D. S. Windell). aged 23, and Francis Reginald King, aged 30, formerly a cashier in the service of the London and South Wes- tern Bank, were to-day again brought up at Bow-street Police-oourt charged with obtain- ing from various branches of the London and South Western Bank by fraudulont means sums of money totalling £ 2,330 in gold and notes. Tho two men stepped briskly into oourt, and immediately became seated. Detective-inspector Bower was the first wit- I ness called, and he proceeded with the evi- dence he was giving when the case was adjourned last Friday. Referring- to the identification of Robert in Madrid by Mr. Wood and Mr. "Int-chios, two of the bank oafehiers who paid him money on September 23, he said the accused was then wearing moustaches. Witness told him that King l>ad been arrested, and he ask&d for news- papers oontaining a.n account of that case at the time. He made certain verbal communi- cations to witness, which he was not at liberty to use. On the morning of April 31, witness received a letter from Robert, who was in prisoai, asking him to come and see him. In the course of an interview on the following day he said he wished to make I A Statement 'The matter is on my conscience," he added. "I have not been happy since I did it." He said he understood his position. "I quite understand," lie went on, "and deserve to be punished, but. after I have undergone my punishment my conscience will be clear." Robert also eaid, "I am prepared to engage myself to refund to the London and South- Western Bank my phare (amounting to £1,160) of the money collected by me Oil September Z3 last bit by bit as my future finances will allow, quite independent of the punishment I may get." On Friday lat?t, witness shewed Robert certain transfer advice forms, and Robert said, "From dictation I write the top and the bottom part, with the exception of the word' tad, '-t,he code word-,and Edwin L. Cox. When I did so the forms were quite blank. I did not do the forgery." Orcss-exairiined, the witness paid he had inquiries of people who had kn-own Robert for eome years and the name he had gone under during those years had been Bernard Robert—a name under which be had done literary work. Up to the present Robert had borne an irreproachable character. The posi- tion he wr.s now in caused a very great amount of astonishment among these who knew him. From his temperament, intelli- gence, and eharao^er, witness certainly would not have thought Robert would have been liikely to do anything of that description. He was' careful not to siay anything that would inculpate anyone else. Detective-sergeant Burton, who spoke to arresting King, said on searching King's rooms he found thei-e 24 blank cheque forms on different branches of the London and South Western Bank. I Cashing the Cheques Sidney Herbert Jarratt, manager at the Vauxhall branch cf the London and South Western. Bank, spoke to receiving on the 23rd of September the transfer advice form and the specimen signature of a client of the bank (D. Stanley Windell), whose account, amounting to £72fJ, appeared on tho faoe of it. The account was to be transferred from the Harleeden branch to his branch at Vaux- h-all. Everything was in perfect order, even down to the perforated postage stamp on the envelope. About 9.30 the prisoner R.obert, giving the name of "Windlol," arrived, and was shown into his private room. He said his name was D. Stanley Windell, and he signed his name as such in the bank's book. The signature was identical with the one witness had received earlier the same morn- ing. He asked for a cheque book, and one was given to him. He at once wrote out a cheque for C290, to be paid to self or bearer. He said he would take forty £5 notes and the rest in gold, and the money was given to him in this form. He asked for the cheque book to be sent on to aa add-c, which turned out to be false, and the book wa.s returned through the "dead letter" office. (Proceeding.)

Alleged Cracksmen.I
Alleged Cracksmen. STORY OF NEWPORT BURGLARIES I At Newport to-day a story was toitl of the exploits of two alleged youthful cracksmen, when Yelverton Hazel 1, Alma-street, and Edwin Albert Smith, Blewittrstreet, ware cha.rged with breaking and entering a builder's office in Llanthewy-road and steal- ing four chisels therefrom. Hazell was further charged with breaking and entering the lock-up premises, 45, High-street (the New- port Wine and Spirit Company's vaults), with intent to commit a felony. Inspector Samuel Cox said that Hazell was arrested at 10.50 on Monday night at the New Found Out, the wine and spirit company's va-ulta. While in custody on Tuesday after- noon he made a voluntary statement, in which he said that on Monday afternoon he met Ted Smith, who is a labourer at the Dos Works. They arranged to break into the New Found Out, Cambrian-road, and if successful there they were going to break into Poglor's grocery stores, aieo in Cambrian-road. They also decided to break into a shed in Llanthewy- road, and take what tools they required to break into the places. They went to the shed, and took two chisels each. They thne went to the Riverside Lime Kilns at East Usk and broke an office door open. They left there and went to Cambrian-road, and on reaching the New Found Out it was agreed that Smith should watch. Hazell, according to his state- ment, then went inside the vaults and hid "n a box. and when the place was locked up he was to get from the box and break open the place as quickly as possible, and when he came out they were to divide the money, and if there was sufficient- money they were to go to New Zealand, his wife, himself, and Smith. His (Hazcll's) wife know nothing about it. When lie (Hazell) heard someone look up for the night he got out of the box and broke the lock off 3, door. He tried to force another ? r. but failed. While working on this door the police came and arrested him. He volun- terilv signed this statement. Witness, in consequence of this, took Smith into custody, and he replied, "That is untrue. I have not seen ITazell for some days past." On being charged together. Smith said to Hazell, \Vhy do yon wish to bring me into this?" Hazell replied, Because you want home and did not keep watch as arranged." Police-constable itneTt-aii said that he was with Inspector Cox when they found Hazell with two chiisiels in his pocket. He said, "I'm caught this time. I'll give in. I could do with a couple of months' rest." Hazell protested that he did not say lie could do with a couple of months' rest. He had asked his and father-in-law to assist him and his wife, as they wore on the road. but they had refused. Both prisoners pleaded guilty. Smith was fined 40s., or one month, and Hazell was sent to prison for six months with hard labour. "TIREID OF STARVING." Robert Davies, no fixed abode, a ship's fire- man, who had been in the employ of the Cunard Company, wa.s charged at Newport to- day with breaking into the shops of 1k, George E. Gwyther and Mr. Willia-m James, both situated in M ill-street. In the letter case he is alleged to have taken 4s. 3d. from the till. The police applied for a remand, but Duvi-es pleaded to be dealt with that day, saying he had done it on purpose to go to prison as he could not get work and was tired of wondering staning about the countr ? He was remanded until Monday next.

ITHE LADY'S CHOICE.I
THE LADY'S CHOICE. I For once in a way Mr. Marchant Williams had a lively quarter of an h?fur of it to-day at .Aherda Poliourt, in a lingual sense, of course. His visitor was Mary Griffiths, of Trecynon, who was charged with using obscene longuage towards a neighbour, Elizabeth Williams, of Trecynon. Mrs. Griffit.bs went on to defend herself at such a rpaoe that the stipendiary raised his hand in a 3- .i "That's enoigii; evident despair, saying, "That's enough; that's enough." But she continued to pour out words like water, as it were. I'm willing to own, to what I say. The truth is nothing but the truth." The Stipendiary (after recovering himself): Pay 20s. and costs, or one month. Mrs. Griffiths: The month, please. The Stipendiary: Very well. You'll be quiet at Swansea, at a.ny rate.
I CLAMORCAN WATER BILL.____I
I CLAMORCAN WATER BILL. The Opponents' Case Opened. When the Select Committee of the House of Commons, over which Sir Luke White pre- sides, resumed its sitting to-day, Mr. Free- ma.n, K.C., one of the leading counsel in support of the Glamorgan water Board Bill, announced that after deliberation it had been decided not to call any further evidence for the promoters. Thereupon Mr. Talbot, K.C., opened the case for the opponents of the Bill. Speaking with special reference to tho Caerphilly urban district, the chief ground of objection to the Bill was that it was not, as originally suggested, a Bill to provide a scheme for the whole county, an dthe acquisition of all the! supplies in the county. Secondly, the Bill did not propose any definite scheme for the supply of water to anY one district. Objec- tion wis also rai&ed on the score of the financial effect the scheme would have on particular districts. (Proceeding.)

I LODGER'S LOST MONEY. I )' James Fox and Ernest Perkins were charged at Cardiff Police-court to-day with stealing 15s. from Leopold Pitt. Prosecutor stated that he slept last night at a boarding- house, No. 262, Bute-street, Cardiff. The two prisoners occupied beds in the same room. When he went to bed he had 18s., which he put in his shirt pocket. He woke about four o'clock this morning, and saw the prisoner Perkins leaving the room. After Perkins had left he missed the money, a,nd told Fox, who wa.s sleeping in the next bed, "That man who has just gone out has been through me." He then dressed and went out, and meeting Perkins in Bute-street, he gave him into cus- tody. Later Police-constable Davies arrested Fox. The magistrates (Messrs. E. Beavan and Dr. Mullins) thought there was a doubt about the case, and gave the prisoners the benefit, both men being discharged.
