Destitute Seamen VALUE'OF CARDIFF SAILORS' HOME The question of whether the Sailors' Home M a charitable institution should be allowed to keep a slop shop," whereas other licensed seamen's boarding-houses in the city are denied this privilege, led to another animated discussion at the meeting of the Cardiff Public Health Committee on Tuesday, Dr. Robinson presiding. Dr. Smith stated that, in oonsequenoe of two recent visits paid to the home. his opinion of the institution had undergone a great change. He thought the Sailors' Home was an ideal institution. So far as the so- called "slop shop" was concerned, it as in the interests of the sailors that it should be allowed to continue. The sailors were well protected against fraud, as the Marquess of Bute kept a storekeeper there at his own expense to look after the department. Mr. Towler, the superintendent of the home, was also prcpared to give an undertaking that kits would be supplied to sailors at coatpraoe. The place was extremely well kept, a-rid, &o fa.r as the Marquess of Bute was concerned, he provided about d5100 a year to keep the home going. Mr. John Chappell: Is it an allowance in rent. or what? Dr. Smith: He makes np any deficiency in the home. The Chairman suggested that, in order that everything should be above board. the whole of the committee should go and visit the home. THIS "SLOP SHOP." r. fliappell: All very clever. If we are going to countenance this "slop shop," what is the use of our bye-laws at all? Wha-t is the use of our Merchant-s Shipping Act? Mr. Edward Nicholl sa,id there was not the slightest doubt that the place was well con- ducted and perfectly clean; but there was the grave question of a grave injustice being done to the tradesmen in the immediate neighbourhood, who live on selling clothing, boots, Ac., to sailors, if they allowed this "slop ehop" to be carried on at the home. Mr. Forsdike pointed out that the home paid JEM a year to the municipal rates. Mr. Chappell stated that the object of the Merchants Shipping Act was to prevent a Ej'etem of fraud in "slop shops." Dr. Smith: I say that in the Sailors' Home there is an absolute protection against sa-ilors being robbed. Mr. Chappell said he would insist that •sailors' lodging-houses should come under their control, and, if necessary, he would write to the Board of Trade. Dr. Biggs: Is there any reason why the Marquess of Bute should keep a "slop shop" and no one else? CHear, hear.) The Chairman: There is no reason exoept that Dr. Smith says it is for the convenience of sailors. CLOTHES FOR SAILORS. I Mr. Foredike pointed out that the home pro- Tided destitute sailors with clothing, and that was what no other boarding-house in Cardiff did. It was all boeh for Mr Chappell to say that the management oom- mittee did not know that a "slop shop" had been kept there for years. Mr. Chappell: 1 aak the question, and you must not say bosh to this. Why were provi- sions made prohibiting "slop shops" on any occasion? Dr. Smith: In order to do justice to the tradesmen in that particular district you are going to do an injustice to the sailors coming into town. He moved that they do not enforce a licence in the case of the Sailoz's' Home. Mr. Jabez Jones seconded, on the under- standing that things were sold properly at the home. Dr. Biggs moved as an amendment that, whilst the. committee recognised the good work done in the Sailors' Home, they cannot see their way to granting the institution any favour by allowing them to stand outside the bye-law. Mr. Chappell seconded, and Mr. Nicholl supported the amendment. Sir William Grossman said they would plaice themselves in a ridicujogis position if they granted a licence to the Sailors' Homo and allowed them to keep a "slop shop." The amendment was carried.

FOODSTUFFS AS CONTRABAND I The Standa.rd to-day says :—We under- iptand that it is no longer the intention of his Majesty's Government to afford an oppor- tunity during the present session of Parlia- ment for disciissin-t-hedcclaration of London of February 26, 1909, and that their action may be regarded as postponing the ratifica- tion of that instrument sine die. It may, therefore, be concluded that the ag-reement will remain, a dead letter. The agreement declared that all foodstuffs were liable to be treated as contraband of war.

HAULIER'S TERRIBLE DEATH AT RHYMNEY. An inquest was conducted by Mr. R. J. Rhys, coroner, at the Halfway Hotel, Pen gam, on Tuesday, on the body of Albert Morgan Gough, a married haulier, of Cardiff-road, Pfcngam. Deceased died on Saturday last at the Cottage Hospital, Ilhymney, from injuries received the previous night by being run over by a train. James Gough, brother of deceased, said they had been to Pontlottyn on Friday, and had been in the New Inn. Witness went down with the mail, but deceased, who was under the influenoe of drink. lost the train. F-urther evidence showed that dece.a.sed prooeeded to walk down the line, and that he was run over by the up passenger train about midnight, near Troedrhiwfuwch. Police-constable Johns, Tir- phil, rendered first aid. and conveyed the unfortunate man to the hospital.

rhe Cunard's Move NEW YORK TO LONDON VIA FISHCUARD According to the "New York Times," the Cunard Company, after three months' con- sideration, has decided as an experiment to have its mail and passenger atea-mships call at Fishguard for t>he purpose of saving time on the outward and homeward voyages. As against Liverpool this means all economy of at least six hours on each voyage. Passengers by the Lusitania and Mauretaiiia under the new plan may be certain of reaching London on Monday even- ings, and those by the Lucania and Cam- pania on Tuesday evenings. It is understood (says the "Daily Mail" correspondent) that the Lusitania, sailing from -New York on July 28, will be the first vessel to land passengers at Fishguard. She should reach Fish- guard at four o'clock in the after- noon, and a special train would arrive in London at ten at night. On the westward voyages the ships will take passengers and the late London mails aboard at Fishguard, and merely call at Qaeenstown for the Lrish mails, passengers leaving that port at aix a.m. instead of ten or eleven as at present. Under the new system pastengers would leave London at six p.m. instead of noon, and Paris at nine a.m. on Saturdays. This would enable passengers to be landed in Xew York on Thursday evenings instead of on Fridays. No official advices, I am informed, have yet reached the Cunard offices in New York of the change of poirts, but it is known there that Fishguiard as a port of call has been in contemplation fo,r some time past. Cunard officials in Liverpool maintain their usual reticence in regard to the above, but in shipping circles it is considered that the move to Fishguard will be made in reply to the White Star's use of Holyhead.

MILLIONAIRE TO HEAD A SYNDICATE I The story of Dr. M. B. Boyd's remarkable airship achievements related in our issue of yesterday has aroused great public interest. Dr. Boyd is, of course, well known to all the principal aeronauts in this country, but so well had he kept his secret that not one of them knew of the existence of the air- ship, to say nothing of its performances. As a result of this, on the appearance of Dr. Boyd's own narrative, he was bombarded with inquiries from all quarters. It would appear that the inventor will not have to appeal to the public for financial support. In conversation with a member of the Lon- don "Daily News" staff last night Dr. Boyd disclosed the fact that he had been in oon- sultation for a considerable part of the day with a wealthy gentleman with a view to forming a private syndicate. I am not yet at liberty to give you his name," said the doctor, but I may mention that he is a millionaire, and a director of one of the principal English railway companies. He is interesting several other wealthy men in the scheme. The com- pany will probably have a capital of JEZM.CCO." Drt Boyd has been pressed by several of his acquaintances to reveal The Whereabouts of His Airship and to allow it to be seen, but he is obdurate. I have not yet taken out my patents," he said, and until then it is obvious that I cannot allow anyone access to the ship. I am taking out the patents at once, and very shortly I hope to be able to publish pictures. In the course of a few days we shall com- mence to put in the new engines, and I hope to be in a position to commence daylight trials in a month or six weeks." Adverting to Iiis trip across the Irish Channel, Dr. Boyd said the airship was kept to a height of from three to four thousand feet. We passed over several steamers, and landed at a point beyond Belfast at four in the morning, having started from the English shore at nine the previous night. The actual crossing, as I said, took under four hours. We passed the day in a hiding- place not many miles from Belfast, and returned the following night, again having a very successful crossing. As I mentioned to you in our previous conversation, we had three men 011 board—myself, one of the engineers, and an assistant. We took over with us an adequate supply of provisions, so that it should not be necessary for us to show ourselves and thus betray the pre-sence of the airship. Of my own personal impressions of the trip I can say little. I was fully occupied in looking after the machinery. The journey, in fwt. was so rapid and successful as to be almost uneventful. We barely seemed to have left the English shore when the lights of Belfast could be seen twinkling in tile dis- tance, coming, as it seemed, gradually to meet us."

WHAT LETHBRIDGE SAW I Cardiff Man Re-Affirms His Story Seen by a representative of the Evening Express" at his home in Roland-street, Adams- down, on Tuesday evening, Mr. Lethbridge eaid he had nothing to add to the graphic story which he gave to our reporter of the appearance of the airship on Caerphilly Mountain on May 18 last. I am quite posi- tive, however," he added, "that it was an airship I saw that evening as I was trundling my truck along .the road over the mountain The night was a bit dark, but I distinctly saw the object rise from the ground in front of me and fly away in the direction of Cardiff, after two men had jumped into it. What I thought were rockers upon which the airship was resting on the ground now app^rs tohave h?n the wheels on which it was c&rrieu along after T came to earth. I am not a practical man in this respect and, of COU, cannot enter into the details from a SClen- tific point of view. ?alk?r whether I have been chaffed over the matter," he said, when our re- porter inquired as to his experiences in every-day life after having told his story to the "Evening Expre&3." "'Vhy, I should think so. I cannot go to the docks looking for work but I am assailed right and left, and I am &ick of the whole matter, although I take all the badgering in good part. "You know," he added, "I am a workman at the docks, and when there is no employ- ment to be got there I go about with ;ny Punch and Judy show by invitation. I do not know how they may feel now, but iown at the docks it has been extremely funny to me to hear the remarks passed as I walked along. 'Our airship is all the go a.gain,' .)ays one, and from another quarter the finger of soorn has been pointed at me as if I had been boozed. Why, I don't drink to excess on a,ny occasion, and I only had a slee-ver that night before I crossed the Caerphiliy Mountain. Coming back, however, to the main part, I say that Dr. Boyd's story of his invention and his experiments bear out in their entirety my statement of what I saw on that evening, and I will not forget it."

IKNOCENT SWANSEA VISITORS F I.N, E D. I At Swansea Police-court on Tuesday several visitors to Swansea, from Aberdare and other districts were fined 10s. each for furiously riding horses on the Swansea Sands. The Chairman (Mr. L. W. Jones) said the corpor- ation would not enable the police authori- ties to get at the persons who hired out the horses. Innoceiit people came down to Swan- sea from the hills, and they could not well be blamed for breaking the law. The cor- poration would not pass a, bye-law whereby the persons who were really responsible could be prosecuted.

I CAERPHILLY RIVALS IN TRADE. An amusing case was heard at Caerphilly on Tuesday, when Samuel Llewellyn, it fruiterer, of Aber, waz summoned f(Ir noisy street hawking.

Died on an EtectricCar (TRAGIC END OF A CARDIFF WORKMAN A sensational discovery was made on one of the Cardiff Oorporatiom electric cars about half-past eight this morning. At Clarence Bridge a respectably-dressed man, apparently of the working class, and between 40 and 45 years of age, boarded a car and asked to be put down a.t Saltmead- road. He then took a seat on top of the car, where there were several other pas- tseng-ers. The c-ar had not travelled far before the passengers were alarmed to see the man's head hanging over the rail with his tongue out. The man's head was raised, and it seemed that life was extinct. Dr. Smith was summoned, and found thai the poor fellow was dead, having succumbed probably to heart trouble. The body wars conveyed to the mortuary. Up to eleven o'clock this morning the body was not identified. The man, who is dark, with a heavy moustache, is about 5ft. 8in. in height, and was attired in a blue serge suit that was much worn. His fcatures are swarthy, of a strong cast, with prominent nose, and deep eyes. It is what would be described as a strong face, and bore evidence of much exposure in outdoor occupations. He was wearing tan boots arid grey Btoekin.g>3, His worldly possessions were a penny, a wateh key, and a latch key.

I PARKS FOIl LLANELLY. I Owing to the congested state of some of the districts in Llanclly and the deartil of open spaces, the urban council have for some time past been making an earnest effort to securc various portions of land in the town. It was decided at a meeting of the estates com. mittee to approach the Stradey Estate and the Buckley Estate with a view to ascertain- ing the price for the Stradsy and Bryncaerau grounds. A letter was read at a meeting of the urban council from Mr. George F. Blake, in which he enclosed plans of an area of land in New Dock-read, in proximity to the railway station. The ground is owned by the London and North Western Railway Com- pany, who had authorised him in the first instance to trffer the sale of it to the council. He was prepared to meet them in order to arrange terms. Mr. Nathan Griffiths: Hear, hear. It was decided, after some discussion, to refer the matter to the estates committee.

THE LATE SIR C. WYLLIE. I The funeral of the la.te Sir Curzon Wyllie took place at Richmond on Tuesday. The first part of the service was heidatSt. Paul's Church. Onslow-square, Loudon, and an extraordinarily large congrega,t.ion was present. The King, the Prince of Wales, a.nd other members of the Royal Family were represented, as also were the Prime Ministe: a,nd Lord Kitchener. The sole reference to the murder was made as the profession was loaving the church, when Prebendary Webb. Peploe, who conducted the service, said, i-i a voice shaken with emotion, Let us pray for our dear sister and for him who com mit.too the crime." The coffin was covered with the Union Jack and numerous beautifu; floral tributes were received. Amongst those who attended the service, in addition to the Royal representatives and widow and mens berc, of the family, were a number of Indians in full native dress and officials from tl-c. India Office. Thousands of silent spectators watched the arrival and departure of the funeral procession. The remains of the deceased were laid to rest, in Richmond Cemetery, where a, 1a.rge body of police were present. A pathetic sight was the kindly way in which Lady Wyllie at the graveeide returned the sym-pathatic shake of the hand of friends a-nd sympathisers, several Indians joining in this form of salutation. A cross of roses and lilies was lowered into the grave with the coffin, which was covered with a small Union Jack, brought by Lady Wyllie I for the purpose.

HOSPITAL'S CANINE FRIEND I Swansea Hospital is the richer by over f,15, collected during the last two years by "Spot,' a fox-terrier, at Price's Arms, Colbren. Everyone who calls at the hostelry is met by Spot, who persistently begs coins, a.nd refuses to part with them till he receives a biscuit, when the gifts are put in a hospital box. The total would have been larger had not a tramping navvy stolen one of the boxes. The' mean thief was not discovered. "Spot also has a special briar pipe. He will eit up and b,g for tobacco, and will even puff away at the lighted pips till th.& smoke causes him to drop tha briar. Mr. J. R. Jenkins is the master of this sagacious animal.

The bowlers kept a good length, atui the score rose slowly by singles. A little rain fell, and the wind became chilly but play continued. Field went on for San tall at 379. Eventually Noble wac finely caught at the wicket, and the Australians' innings ended for 456. Warwickshire commenced with Charles- worth and Kinneir. who opened cautiously.

There were fully 6,000 people present. Hayward and Ducat carried the score to 39 in forty minutes, but at that point both were out, while 10 later Smith was cleverly g-tunvd, Blomley taking a, fapt ball splendidly.

A MOVABLE FEAST. A Westerner attindirar a Rhode Island clam-bi11¡,e for the first time suddenly became aware, that he wa.- not quite go comfortab'< as he had been at the beginning". Ixjok herehe &aid to Senator Aldrich, hi- ireig-hbour at t-a,ble. "You lirf a native and kjjow the rules of the game. I don't. Now I'd like to know when to stop eating- Well," responded the Senator, with a smile, "my rule M this: I seat mjTeelf at the start exactly four inches from the table, and when I feel myself touching- it I know it is time—to move back."

COUNCIL CHAMBER SCENE. A atoray ecene took plaoe at the meeting of the Paddington Borough Council yester- day, reoulting in the expulsion of Mr. Way- e-ott. Mr. Waycott defied the ru,ling of the mayor, who vainly sought to restrain him from taking snapshots with a camera lie had introduced into the council chamber. The pc-lice were sent for, but as they did not appear two beadles and the mayors maivha; carried out Mr. Wayeo-tt, resisting, but not nin.g hi,s fists, amid cries of "Shame!" and "This is against freedom!" A vote of confi- dence was passed in the mayor.

JEWS AND THE CABINET. For the first time 11l Anglo-Jewish history a conforming Jew occupies a seat in the inner eirnk-s of Government (says the "Jewish Chronicle"). It is fifty yearn since Jowb were ?e J-0w" w 0 admitted to Parliament; and the fact that it has taken half-a-century for a Jewish mem- ber of the Legislature to reach Ca.binet posi- tion is a little surprising. The promotion which he has received is, of course, a further testimony, if any wore needed, to the abso- lute freedom of British Governments from the tzliu-t of racial or reli-gicus prejudice.

STABLE BOYS' STRIKE The strike of the stable lads of Ma-isons Lafltte h-ns again assumed a serious aspect. Yesterday the strikers set fire to the training establishment of T.

XARBEKTH 1MOKTGAGE SUIT I LADY AND AUCTIONEER: JUDG- MENT OF APPEAL COURT. In the Court (A Appeal on Tuesday (befows the Master of the Rolls a.nd Lords Justices Farsvell and Kennedy) the crose-«,ppeals of K. G. Thomas v. Collins came on for hear- ing. Th. master in dispute, one of costs, had b&ea before the county-court, and also the Divisiona.1 Court. and there were &ppeau from the judg-mont of t.he Divisional Court, consisting of Justices Phillimore and Walton. Mr. Green, in opening, said that this was the defendant's appeal, and orig-inally it came before the Nazi-berth iPenibrokeehirw) County-court. The action there was by the mortgagor, cLajming an account against the mortg-agee on a, sale of property incklded in a bill of sale. An account was ordered, tod the registrar found jE,44 6c. 4d. due to the defendant. When the action came before the county-court judge in the first instance, not- withstanding that the registrar had given a certificate in the defendant's favour, be. made an order that the mortgagor should pay the plaintiff's oosts. An appeal waa made, and the High Court allowed it and sent the oaase back to the county -court judge. Mr. Rowlatt (for the plaintiff) said bi8 reply was tha.t Collins did not eeli as mort- gagor, but in the ordinary way of haa busi- ness ap an auctioneer, for the customary remuneration, and which bind been allowed him. His friend was wrong in arguing thaA the case was one between mortgagor ajod mortgagee. Mrs. Thomas was a lady living in Pembrokeshire, and who got into difficul- tie. Mr. Collins paid out the sheriff's officer and took a bill of sale as security. Then be sold the goods by auction, being an auo- tioneer, and charged ceriAin fees, but would not render an account until it was PeAd for. The Court discharged the order of the oo-unty-court. judge and the Divisional Oourt, and said that Mr. Collins must have the costs of the county-court, the Divisional Court, and tha.t appeal.
