I Liners at Fishguard I —— 8 —— MAURETANIA BREAKS HER OWN j RECORD J ) Americans in Merry Mood The Mauretanre. arrived at Queenstown at 6.23 a.m. on Monday, making the passage from New York in 4 days 13h. 41min„ being the fastest eastern passage on record and 46min. better than the previous best. Her average speed was 25.61 knots. The passage would have been reduced by a further three horns but for a dense fog experienced. The Maure- ta,iiia now holds all the eastward and west- ward records. The Cunarder was sighted eixtrM'u miles west. of StrnmbJe Had at 11.45, and dropped anchor at 12.51. The mail tender got along- side at 12.58, and cast off again at 1.14 with 1,145 sacks aboard. The mail train left at 1.45. The passenger tender came alongside at 1.23, and disembarked 235 passengers. She left ten minutes later, and reached the quay at 1.49. The first train left at 2.24. Amongst the passengers la.nded were Mr. K. Yamag-uchi, chief architect of the Tokyo Imperial University, and Mr. M. Watea, chief librarian of the same institution, who are on a world tour of inspection of educa- tional institutions. Starting at San Francisco, where they visited the famous Conservatoire, they proceeded to Salt Lake City, where they were greatly interested in the Mormon Temple. Thence they proceeded to Chicago, Niagara, Boston, New Haven, and New York. During their sojourn in this country they intend to visit the majority of the universities, including those of Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Manchester. Both speak excellent Eng- lish, particularly Mr. Watea, who remarked that everything in America was on a grote-squeiy large scale, so to speak. Every- body appeared to be very busy and always in a great hurry. After leaving England these gentlemen will proceed to the Continent and there continued their investigations, sub- sequently returning to Japan by the Trans- Siberian route. Prompt Despatch at Cardiff When t.he three separate trains arrived at Cardiff the utmost promptitude was shown by the officials in despatching them upon the remainder of their journey. The mail train ran alongside the platform at 3.57, disgorged about 100 mail-bags, changed engines, and was away again by 3.59. This was a record piece of work for Cardiff. Besides the South Wales mails, there were many bag's for the Midlands and the South of England, includ- ing Plymouth. The first of the passenger trains arrived at 4.40, and left three minutes later, and the second drew up at the platform at 4.50, and its stay was also confined to three minutes. Both tra.ins contained a large number of passengers, and some of the more enthusias- tic visitors waved little Yankee flags from the windows. The leading Great Western Railway officials were much pleased with the promptitude shown by the station staff. As luiual, a large number of people gathereki at the station to witness the arrival and depar- ture of the trains. j Cardiffian's Return There was an affecting scene at Cardiff when the second of the Canard-Ocean expresses arrived. Among the passengers was Mr. John Gorman, of South Bethlehem, United States of America, who left Cardiff fifteen years ago. He was met by a number of relatives, including several ladies, who all shed tears of joy. Mr. Gorman has amassed considerable wealth durinf his absence. He is a brother of Mr. Tom Gor- man, who used to play football for Cardiff and the Cardiff Harlequins. The official times of arrival at Paddington are as follows :-Iail train, 6.23; fir.-it pas- senger express, 7.17; second passenger express, 7.20 p.m. Glowing Tributes by Captain Pritchard Fishguard proved that she is capable of more than a mere spasmodic effort when dealing with Atlantic traffic, for both the Mauretania and the Ambrot-e arrived within a few hours of each other on Monday. The Ambrose landed more passengers than ever before in the local history of the Booth Line Captain Pritchard, when interviewed, ex- pressed keen disappointment that the fog should haTe interfered, remarking that Fish- guard was a port of the future. He did not know aThythiug about the disembarking faci- lities, but he considered it quite a safe harbour, and one at which despatch could be obtained, both for mails and passengers and their impedimenta. Eleven hundred and fifty-four Vacks of mails were disembarked from the Maure- tania, together with 1,500 parcels. Of the 250 passengers on the Cunarder, 180 travelled first-class. The passengers, who lunched in New York on Wednesday, were enabled to dine in London on Monday evening, with the added advantage of being in time for the It was stated that the Parisian passengers would reach their destination at about five o'clock this (Tuesday) morning. Important Announcement by Cunard Official A prominent Cunard official-remarked to our Fishguard correspondent that the expeditious manner in which traffic had been. handled reflected great credit upon the Great Wes- tern Company, adding that it was wonderful how all difficulties liad been overcome, and mails, baggage, and passengers were handled in the new ocean port in a manner that evoked the utmost admiration from American passengers, some of whom have made scores of journeys between the New World and the Old. When his attention was drawn to the a.ban- donment of Holyhead by the White Star Line during the winter, he said that,, so far as Fishguard was concerned, the present arrangements would continue, subject, of course, to favourable weather prevailing. The chief consideration was the comfort of pas- sengers, and landings would not be effected when boats arrived so late as to prevent passengers reaching Ixjndon before midnight. He added that passengers who had already been landed at Fwhguard had been high!,v delighted by the facilities afforded, and that it was subject of general comment that the Cunard Company, in accelerating transit to Ijondoa and the Continent, were merely pro- viding a logical coroliai-y to the building of vessels like the Mauretaftia and Lusitania, because it was abs-urd to provide boats which, whilst breaking all records, might be held up by the tide at the Mervey bar, thus nullify- ing all advantage secured by extra speed. American Visitor's Eulogy of Driscoll A passenger aboard the Mauretama on the reoord-breaker'e latest trip, was an old Car- difiian in the person, of Mr.' John Gorman, of Bethlehem, Pa.. who in his early days was a well-known sport in the city. Mr. Gorman, who was accompanied by his wife, makes a visit to his birthplace after an absence of fifteen yearts and when the special boat express drew up at Cardiff Great Western Station he received quite an ovation from a large crowd of relatives and early boyhood frieijds Well known across the other side as a piominent sport, a Western Mail man a r, th is way to 159, Clare-road, Cardiff, where Mr. Gorman is staying with his brother, with a view of getting a few impressions on the doings of the famous pair of Welsh boxers, Jimmy Dri.sooll and Fred Welsh, during their visits to the States, for Mr. Gorman is a big figure in the American boxing world, and hu menaged some good lads in his time, including young Willie Lucas (1331b.), one of the best boys in' the States, and Jack Reed 210]b.), who boxed a draw with Sam Lang- ford at the National Sporting Club, Phila- delphia. With regard to Fred Welsh Mr. Gorman could not say much, as hh last sowi him when Freddy had still to climb the ladder of fame, but with regard to Driscoll he waxed eloquent. What do I think of Driscoll? Well, he's lightning! I saw him box Glover Hayes at the National Sp-ortins Club, Philadel- phia. one of the best boys at his -w,c,ight that have ever been seen in the State. Drisccll went so fast that Glover never saw him, and after the fight Glover said that he thought that everyone in the vast audience WES throwing boxing gloves at him. I also saw him box Tommy Langham, very clever lad, who boxed Abe Attell to a draw. When the contest was over Langham told Yonng Lucas that he had never been hit so often in his life Yes, he's the fastest thing I have ever seen in the fight- ing line jet, and I have seen a few" went on the visitor, and I guess that if he and Owen Moran meet Owen won't see the way he goes. He is two blocks ahead, is Driscoll. At present I am managing Young Billy Lucas, and if can fix up anything for him over this side I'll fetch him across. He's a good boy", but he can't drive the crowd | crazy like Driscoll." I Night Disembarkment from Booth Liner The Booth liner Ambrose, homeward oounu from Manaos, Madeira, Lisbon, and Cher- bourg, droipped anchor at Fishguard at 9.7 p.m. oh Monday night, and the tender Sir Francis Drake came alongside eight minutes later. Thirty-three passengers and their baggage were disembarked in nine minutes amidst a scene of enthu?ia?m unpreœdünted in the history of the port. Cheers and American catch-calls prevailed throughout th-j whole period, the darkness, illuminated by brilli.ant electric light, lending weird effect to the work of disembarkation. The luggage landed v. as heavy, and embraced such unusual items as a wheeled bassinette, a baby's oot, and wioker chairs innumerable. The first persons to board the liner after th0 Gust-oms officials were stewards bearijg baskets containing battles of whisky, cans of milk, and coaisigmnents of eggs, all of which had been ordered by Maroonigram. Their advent was enthusiastically cheered by the paseengere. The harbour quay was reached at 9.37, and the ocean express was drawn up alongside, this being the first occasion for either Booth or Cunard passengers to be able to pass direct from tender to train. The Customs officials worked expeditiously, and the train left at ten o'clock, 53 minutes after the dropping of the anchor. The special train with the Ambrose pas- sengers arrived at Cardiff at 12.16 a..m., and proceeded after a stay of five minutes ■Se\erai passe-ngers got out, and all expressed themselves highly pleased with the excellent facUities for landing at Fishguard and the ela borate arrangements to ensure the com- fort of the passengers on the train. The following are the official times of the Booth Line express train:— Left Fishguard 10 p.m. Arrived Cardiff 12.19 p.m. Left Cardiff 12.22 p.m. German Liner's Record The liner Kron^>rinzessin Cecile, which arrived at Plymoutn from New York on Mon- day, established a record for the southern or longer journey. She steamed 2.973 miles, from Ambrose Lightship to Efidystone Lighthouse, and the passage oocupied five days, seven hours, and 25 minutes.

Spanish Army Advance. BRISK FIRING AND SEVERE LOSSES MADRID, Monday. A telegram from Melilla states that the order was given to make ready to advance. At five o'clock the army began to move out and concentrate on the Plain of Rastrogordo. Two columns were then formed, under the command of Generals Del Real and Tovar, consisting of twenty-one companies of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, a Schneider battery, and several mountain batteries. Shortly before seven o'clock General Marina gave the order to advance. At the same moment the guns of the Camellos Fort and of the Melilla Bat- tel ies and Camps opened a hot fire on the Beni Sicar. The shells caused a panic in the duars, and the inhabitants quickly ho-isted white flags, and, abandoning their gurbis, fled with their families and cattle to the Spanish camps for protection. In the meantime the two columns con- tinued the march, and opened a brisk fire at eight o'clock on the enemy's outposts. The fusillade continued until two o'clock in the afternoon,, the Spanish fire, being frequently strengthened by shells from Fort Camellos. MADRID, Monday. (Laterl An official telegram from Melilla states that the two columns under Generals Del Real and Tovar have occupied Cap de Iluerter. The enemy's losses were severe, whilo the Spaniards had one man killed and wounded

M. CLEMENCEAU'S VISIT. Paris, Tuesday.—In reply to a. representa- tive of the "Petit Parisien," M.

He refused to make any political statement, on the ground that he had no right to interfere with the work of his successor.

————————_ 1% MOORISH. NOTE TO POWERSI1 Madrid, Tuesday.—The announcement that the Sultan of Morocco has formulated a diplomatic Note to the Powers protesting against the Spanish .operations in the Riff district has produced a considerable impres- sion. It is believed that the visit of Senor Maura, the President of the Council of Ministers, to King Alfonso is in connection with the Moorish Note. Paris, Tuesday.—From Oran it. is reported that a battle took place yesterday near Selouan. Telegrams which reached Oran last evening state that an inceant cannonade was heard at the French posts, especially at Sidi, Mahomed, and Aberkane.

NEW PENARTH PONTOON I The steamer Lady Cory Wright arrived at Penarth yesterday, and the captain reported that he passed the new pontoon, which is on its way from the Tyne to Penarth, off St. Catherine's Point at. noon on Sunday.

I NEWPORT EMPIRE Eugene Stratton, the master ooon delineator, brings something new with him on this tour—" The Coon Drum-major which, well staged as it is, proved very popular at Newport on Monday night. The burlesque doings of Fred. Keeton, a witty comedian, excited a fe-teat deal of amuse- ment, and gained some well-merited applause. Ben Albert is here again with a store of new patter. A clever little sketch, brimful of humorous situations, is "Her Devonshire Dad," given by Mr. Victor Widdi- combe and his company, which tells of a visit of a. Devonshire farmer to Loudon. Will Cornish, bell expert; the De Breans, Japanese entertainers; and Alice Maple, comedienne, are also included in a bright programme.

ROLLER SKATING RINK The fascination of roller skating is oatohkig on wonderfully in Cardiff. and it is nothing to see several hundred people enjoying the sport at the same time in the new American rink in Westgate-etreet, Cardiff. The most popular session with county families is the mfternoon one. In connection with this week's programme a. prize of a free trip to Paris to witness the public opening of the Paris Hippodrome is being offered to the most graceful couple selected by popular vote.

YESTERDAY'S CRICKET Mr. Cochrane's XI. wanted only 8 rune to beat the Au,traliatis when time arrived, and the match ended in a draw. Play at Bray was resumed on Monday in line weather. The Colonials, 24 behind, with ten wicket.6 in band, continued the innings. Whitty was soon out, but O'Connor batted capitally for an hour for 34. M'AJister ecored well until he had made a dozen, when a brilliant low catch in the slips by Tarrant dispd of him, and, wickets going cheaply, six were down for 95 at lunch. On resuming, a clever and eniart bit of fielding by Buckenham got rid of the Australian captain for 7. Runs were put on slowly at this period, the batsmen taking no risks. The close of the innings was sensa- tional, Tarrant getting three wickete in one over for no run, and the Australians being all disposed of for 129 Altogether Tarrant secured five wickete for 40, and Barnes two for 33. Bequiring 105 to win, the home side went to the wickets for the second time. Baker was lbw before scoring. Hobbe made 19 out of 22, but then fell to a grand, high catch in the out-field by Baneford. Hayes and Tarrant batted steadily, but it took an hour to make 50 runs. Hayes was thrown out at 55. The Australians kept down the runs splendidly towards the clctm, and the homo ide, with four wickete in hand, still wanted 6 runs when play ceased, and the match was drawn.

I MISSING WARSHIP I CLIO SEEN AT ANCHOR. Hong Kong. Tuesday.—The captain of the steamer Kweiyang reports that he sighted his Majesty's sloop Clio safely anchored in Haitan Straits. Karlior Particulars on Pase ?..

WAS IT ARATAH pi VESSEL IN FLAMES AT SEA A Lloyd's telegram from Manila, dated Sep- tember 30, is as follows: — The British steamer Harlow, arrived here from Newport New! reports having passed on July 27, 100 miles from Durban, a vets'el on fire, but could not make out the name. The vessel was afterwards destroyed by an explosion. It is supposed tJuÜ the vessel was the I Waratah, with oarso on fire. OWNERS DISCREDIT THE REPORT. Messrs. Lund, the owners of the missing Waratah, received on Monday a. telegram to the above effect, and adding that the Harlow's captain wa.s unable t-o make out the name of the steamer, which was after- wards destroyed by an explosion. Messrs. Lund, interviewed by a. press repre- sentative on this statement. said they did not -attach any importance to it, as the liner Clan Madntyre had already reported passing the Waratah off the South African coaet at nine o'clock on the morning of the 27th. Had the Waratah caught fire the same day she would undoubtedly have been seen by ths Clan Macintyre. as fire,3 at sea always reflect a considerable distance. Messrs. Lund state that there was nothing particularly inflammable in the Waratah's cargo, a large portion of which consisted of frozen carcases and a quantity of flour. DISBELIEF AT DURBAN. No credence is attaoched in Durban to the rep.ort that the steamer Ha-rlow, which has arrived at Manila, sighted on July 27 possibly the Waratah, which was on fire, and which subsequently blew up. The Raj-low, it is pointed out, arrived at Durban on July 28. the day alter the supposed occurrence, and remained until July 31, but during her stay nobody on board made any mention of 4t. .Moreover, 180 miles, the distance from Durban at which the burning vessel was seen, is equivalent to a full day's run for the Harlow, and the Union Castle liner Guelph undoubtedly sighted the Waratah after the time mentioned.-Re,uter. LINER DAMAGED IN COLLISION. A Liverpool telegram says that the Elder- I Den pster liner Andoni and the steamer Edla came into collision off Calabar. According to a telegram received by the owners, the Andoni received such sericus damage amid- ships that she had to be run ashore to prevent her sinking. The Edla was only slightly damaged. LOSS OF THE LUCANIA. A Liverpool correspondent telegraphs that official confirmation of the arrangements arrived a.t between the underwriters and the Cunard Company regarding the Lucania has been obtained. The steamer was insured for £ 120,000. The underwriters have agreed to pay for total loss, but the Cunard Com- pany buy back from them for £ 20,000 the Luc-ania as she now is. The underwriters, therefore, pay X100,000, but the Cunard Com- pany meet all salvage expenses—a consider- able item.

ALLEGED BILLIARD-BALL THEFT AT CARDIFF. 11 TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED BY J DETECTIVES. I .1 Evan Richards (27), alias Edwin Richards. was charged at Cardiff on Monday, in con- junction with Richard Jones (41), with break- ing and entering Craig 1=1 a. an unoccupied i house, at Penylan, Cardiff, and stealing nine brass chandeliers, four brass gas brackets, one brass standard, 27 ivory billiard balls, and three bonzoline billiard balls, valued in all at zC67 18s., the property of John Strachan and another, the executors of the late John Strachan. Detective-sergeant Little said he was in company with Detective Pugsley on Sunday morning, when they saw prisoner and another man in Newport-road. Prisoner's pockets were very bulky. They followed them, but lost sight of the second man, but saw prisoner later in Station-terrace, stand- ing behind a lamp-post. In order to get near him they got into a cab and drove to where he was standing. Witness jumped out and caught prisoner, and asked him what he had in his pocket. He replied "Nothing." but witness opened his coat and saw a num- her of billiard balls. He told prisoner that a house in Penylan had been broken into, and conveyed him to the station. At one o'clock the same morning he went with Detective Pugsley to No. 3, Havelock-street, and saw Jones there. They searched the house, and found a quantity of bratis fittings, which (Jones said) Edwin Richards brought to the house on the previous evening, and he would not take them out to sell unless. Riohards was with him. The officers also found three billiard balls. Both prisoners when charged replied that they had nothing to say. On the application of Inspector Bingham, they were remanded in custody until Tuesday, week.

HARVEST FIELD TITAGE DY. I A sihocking discovery was made in the harvest, field at Bishop Burton, neax Bever- ley. on Monday, when a harvester, named William Bllnn, was found dying. His skull was fractured, and it is alleged that the fatal injuries were caused during a row among the harvesters. The deceased expired on being taken to Bever- ley in a motor-car. Three harvesters who were afterwards taken into custody in con- nection with the affair are:—Jeiftes Murray, Jame-s Fee-, and-Arthur Ashworth, all of no fixed abode. Several thick hedge sticks have been found near the scene of the tragedy, and the deceased appears to have been battered across the head and face with these.

CRUISER SHORT OF COAL. WOODEN FIXTURES BURNT IN THE FURNACES. The 11ew Canadian cruiser Earl Grey was i I towed into St. John's, Newfoundland, on Monday 90mpletely disabled owing to her bunkers having run short of coal. All the cruiser's wooden fixtures had to be burnt in the furnaces to provide steam, and the vessel was helpless when picked up. Her bunkers are now being replenished. The vessel felt Barrow, where she w-a-s built, on September 1 for Charlottetown.—Central News. Another telegram from St. John's sayst- The new Canadian ice-breaker. Earl Grey, on her way to Quebec from Barrow, where she was built, has arrived at St. John's, New- foundland, having run short of coal. In 1903 a similar mishap befell another ice-breaker, the Scotia, which was towed in there by the steamer Furnessia.

FAST SPEED OF DESTROYER The British torpedo-destroyer Swift on Mon- day night completed her trials, and to-dav she leaves the Clyde for the Mersey. The Swift has been running under experiment in Clyde waters for ten months, having bee.i fitted with various propeller blades. She was designed to st>eed 36 knots, but it is under- stood that she has eclipsed that guarantee, and is faster by three knots than any boat in the Navy.

Echo of Luard Murder ARRESTED MAN LIBERATED A startling development has taken place in connection with the murder of Mrs. Luard, wife of the late Major-general Luard, which took place under such mysterious circum- stances on August 24, 1908, near the bungalow known as the Casa, situated in the woods at Ightham Knoll. A man who had been arretted at Maid- stone by the Kent police in connection with tile affair was on Monday morning brought before the Sevenoaks magistrates at the local police-court. The prisoner gave his name as David Talbot Wood roof. He is an ekk.rly man of about 60 years of age, but rather poor appearance. He was shabbily dressed in a jacket suit of faded grey tweed, dirty boots, and a cotton shirt- The proceedings opened by the magis- trates'-clerk (Mr. W. W. Knocker) reading the charge, which was in the usual form, and alleged that on August 24, 1908, aocused did feloniously and wilfully murder Mrs. Luard. Superintendent Taylor, the local head of the Kent constabulary as the officer who throughout the whole of the original proceed- ing-s had charge of the case under the chief- constable. then stepped into the wit- ness box. He said: On Saturday last, the 18th of September, I received a warrant for the arrest of the. pricoiu r. I proceeded to Maidstone Gaol, and I saw the prisoner there. I said to him, Is your name David Woodroof?" and he replied, "Yes." I said, "I have a warrant for your arrest, and I must caution you that any- thing you may say will be given in evidence against you." I read the warrant to him, as follows: That on the 24th of August, in the year 1908, at the parish of Seal. in the county of Kent, you feloniously, wilfully, and with malice aJoretbou, did kill and murder  one Mary Caroline Luard against the pe&ce of our Sovereign Lord the King, his crown, and dignity. DENIAL BY THE PRISONER, The prisoner, in reply, said:- I never did such a thing in my life. I am not guilty of the murder of shooting or anything c.f the kind. I told him," continued the superinten- dent, that I should have to take him back with me to Sevenoaks. We then proceeded from Maidstone to Sevenoaks, and in between ho said:—'I do not know where the place i8. I have never been there in my life, and I know nothing about it.' I brought him to Sevenoaks, where he was formally charged, and he made no reply. Superintendent Taylor, addressing the bench, said, "That is all the evidence I pro- pose to offer, and I would ask that the prisoner be rema-nded for a week for further inquiries." SOLICITOR'S PROTEST. Mr. House: I shall oppose that application. It æems to me that the police in this case  have for some rea-son known to themselves, but not known to anybody else, arrested this man upon suspicion. Thirteen months after this offence they arrest a man in Maidstone Prison who Is there on an ordinary charge of common assault. They take proceedings against that man and try to make a case against him. I am afraid to speak within discretion of this cce, as I feel very strongly about it. There is no reason why there should be a remand, and if I go too far perhaps you will stop me. I feel the case is one which ought never to have been brought before this court. The police have had thirteen months in which to find the man guilty of this offence-an offence, of course, which we all very nndl deplore, and would be only too pleased to find the guilty party. But here you have a man against whom there has never been any suggestion of this character until he is charged with another offenoe, for which he is committed Maidstone. So far as I can make out the only reason there was to arrest him was ,?i)?.t at some time he had a revolver on him. ..The police at Maidstone Gaol, continued Mr. Hpuee. searched him, took away his clothes, 4nd gae him <)t,?er clothes instead. The Chairman: When did this happen? I Mr. House: It has taken place several times in prison. His clothes ought never to have I been taken from him. From what I can gather some* formalities were gone through to technically protect him, but he ought not to have been discharged with the clothe he is now wearing. Even supposing he were not a man-of good character he ought to be triM fairly. The police have had him four months in prison, and they have had that time to make inquiries about him, yet they ask for another week to get evidence. They do not propose to offer one shred of evidence to-day after four months. That is not fair. The Chairman: Do you say he has been in prison for four months? Mr. House: Yeis, for an assault. Another magistrate: Did you say it was a. very trifling offence? Mr. House: It may have been a serious one, but that is not the point. For four months the police have made their inquiries and found nothing, and they do not intend to give any evidence to-day. I think some evi- dence should be given now, even if it were only to show on what ground the warrant was issued. If they do I shall be satisfied, but I submit that some evidence should be given. superintendent Taylor again stepped into the box, and sa.id that, although the priisoiler had been in prison all that time, tie facts relating to this charge had only recently oeone to the knowledge of the police, and they necessitated that further inquiries sh«ti>ld be made. ifrhe magistrates again eonsulted, after which the Chairman said: -The bench is of opinion that if there is no further evidence against this man we are hardly justified in hremanding him." Colonel Warde (chief of the Kent police) then stepped into the box and said: "JA, week certain facts came to my knowledge upon which at the present time inquiries are I being made as regards this man. We a.re I naturally anxious tha.t a remand should take I place. The Chairman: The Bench is of opinion that they ought to have further evidence. DEFENDANT'S CLOTHES. I t/oiouei name: Certain statements have been made to-day which a.re not quite accu- ra.te as to taking away the prisoner's clothes. He was asked by the governor of the prison if he objected to his clothes being taken from him for certain purposes, and he made no objection whatever, remarking that he would as soon go into others as his own. The Chairman: Are you prepared to put forward further evidence to-day? Colonel Warde: Not to-day. I could state further evidence of my own knowledge, but I should be loth to do so just now. The police are very much tied and wam.t to make certain inquiries before they are made pub- lic, otherwise it might militate very much against those inquiries. The bench then retired from the court, but returned after a brief absence. The Chairman then said: The bench are of opinion that there is not sufficient evi- dence to warrant us ordering this man's detention. The decision was greeted with cheering at the back of the court, but the demon-stration was instantly suppressed. The accused was then discharged and liberated. I STORY OF THE CRIME. I The murder was one of the most remark- able of modern times. It will be remembered that on August 24, 1908, Mrs. Luard had been for a walk through the lovely woods adjoin- ing Ightham Knoll, and some hours later her dead body was found on the verandah of a summer house on the estate, of a neighbour, Mr Wilkinson, of Seal Ohart. There were two bullet marks in the head; three rings had been forced from the fin- gel's, and her pocket cut from her dress. At the inquest on Mrs. Luard her husband described the finding of the body of his wife, whom he had left a short while previously in the best of health and spirits. At this time the police were hopeful of being able to elucidate tie mystery, but as time went on and there was no arrest, a reward of £ 500 was offered for the discovery of the murderer, and this was followed by an offer of £ 1,000 reward by the police to anyone giving such information before January 1, 1909, as might lead to the appre- hension and conviction of the person or per- sons responsible for the murder. In the meantime General Luard had been the recipient of some anonymous letters of a most disgraceful character. Some of the writers even accused the grief-stricken husband with having killed his wife. These undoubtedly preyed upon his mind, and on September 18 he took his own life. His body was found at a. level crossing on the railway between East Farleigh and Waterihgbury. In the coarse of his summing-up at the inquest the coroner said there was no doubt that General Luard 6ad been greatly :?ected by the base insinuations that had been levelled against him in anonymous letters suggesting almost in so many words that he was responsible for the death of his wife. The jury returned a. verdict of suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity, and expressed sympathy with the friends of the family INTERVIEW WITH ACCUSED. I In an interview Woodrool stated that he was brought up in Suffolk, and was a gardener by trade. He had filled situations at Sandy, Beds., and at Newmarket. Owing to illness, he fell out of employment. Speaking of his movements in August last yea.r, he said that, after being locked up at Sevenoake for sleep- ing out, on the 13th inet. he went to Tun- bridge Wells, walking back to Hildenborough, and taking train to Orpington. On August 24. the day of the murder, he was at Fain- borough. 1

Notes and Selections. LINGFIELD, Tuesday Morning. The racing at Castle Bramwich yesterday l was deserving of better patronage than it received, the company being rather thin in the principal ring, and the market corres- pondingly weak. To regular racegoers this is not surprising, for the professionals are for the present suffering from a surfeit of I racing. In the Birmingham Handicap Eolandine and Flying Thoughts had the race to themselves from start to finish, and as I fully expected, the latter spread-eagled her field-a splendid performance—at the nice odds of 103 to 8. To-day there is every pros- pect of a fine day for the Lingfield fixture, a meeting always papular with London race- goers, and sure to be well patronised. The Autumn Handicap should, I think, be won by LISTER, a.nd"the other events by the following selec- I tions ( drj^wborough Nui-sery-SHRUBB. Two Mile Selling—KILRUDDERY (nap).

STOLL'S PANOPTICON There was a large attendance at this house on Monday evening, and the programme, as usual, was full of items which commanded interest. There was a general feeling of regret that this was the last week of two artistes who have won universal approval in their respective roles-Miss Claudia Thornley and Mr. William Kingsley, the original hand- bell soloist, who this week, by special request, plays a selection of Welsh melodies. The Mended Lute," which was the title of the chief picture, if a romance of the Dakotas, and based on the lines of the American aboriginals. The subject as a whole was a combination of poetical romance and drama- tic intensity, the canoe chases being the most picturesque and thrilling. And a 6ubjeot naturalists would delight in witnessing was "The Storm," a re-production of p. terrific gale raging on the coast of Brittany. "Women's Life in India" was an educative film. A remarkable item was that depicting the records of the world's leading aviators and their flights at Rheims. "The Black Hand and Black Feet Terror was a clever skit on recent scares caused by the machina- tions of various secret societies, and which is loaded with fun and original situations. A generous shoare of the programme was given to humour, and the pictures are best eeen to be appreciated at their true value. Matinees will be held as usual on Wednesday and Saturday.

FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL.' I The weather being all that could be desired, there was a big crowd at Birmingham on Mon- day, and, if there was nothing of class about th- day's racing, it was, at any rate, interest- ing enough to serve its purpose of amuisiiiw visitors. Backers did badly, only one favourite. Prince of Song II., scoring, and Wootton had all his work cut out to get this one home. Mr. W. Parrish and Mr. Larnach both brought off double events," the latter' Gapie Hen colt bringing off a big surprise in the Burton Nursery. Lingfield being unopposed to-day, Mr. "Bob" Fov Ler is sure to have the pleae-ure of wel- ooming a large attendance if the weaAher keeps up. A fair programme ha-s been pro- vided, and runners should be plentiful. The principal item is the Autumn Handicap of 3JO sovfi.

THIRTY YEARS' TORTURE Mrs. L. F. Raine, 4. Margaret-road, Whit- ley Bay, writes:—"It is now over 36 years ago thai at the bridge of my nose appeared a small red spot. I went to a doctor. but in spite of his advice and directions, the spot began to spread. In the hospital at Newcastle I underwent 204 X-ray opera- tions without any good result: indeed my face became worse..Seven times J went under chloroform, my face being scraped, and the flesh on the nose, right down to the cartilage. After all this torture, the sores „ were still spreading and growing worse. « One evening I saw a paragraph saying7 Cadum was good for skin diseases. I bought a 6d. box. Can I tell yon how pleased I was to ftnd some difference on the first day after use. When I had need the boxful some of the sores on my face had ceased to spread, some even actually heal- ing. Can I tell yon my surprise when, what. medical men had failed to do. what the spending of a hundred pounds could not gi\e me, I was getting from a 6d. box of Cadum. The progress of recovery has been remark- able." Cadum is a new medical discovery for the cure of all skin and scalp troubles. 6d. and Is. a box, all chemists.

"PENELOPE" AT CARDIFF. — Patrons of the New Theatre, Cardiff, arr provided with another treat in comedy tin; week by the presentation of Mr. Somerset Maugham's latest IJOndon success "Penelope," a three-act play, which is being admirably staged by the Hutchison management. wbogq- record of stage productions now reaches 41. Included in the oast are such popular favourites as Miss Annie Huighes, a gifted and vivacious actress, who made her first bow to a Cardiff audience on Monday night. Miss Emma Hutchison, and Mr. Kobert Minster. The play is fuU of delightful situations and sage and witty sayings, and is woven round the life of Dr. O'Farrell, a, society physician in John-street, Ma^fair. After winning in marriage the beautiful daughter of Protfessor and Mrs. Golightly, the doctor is seen intriquing with an imaginary patient named Mrs. Cook, but who in reality >"i. is Mrs. Ada Fergusson. the wife of a soldier who is bravely fighting for his country." Mrs. O'Farrell learns of the intrique in an interesting manner. aad instead of spurning her husband, provides him with all facilities- She cvontually wins back her husband's love by indifference, and the scene depucting the humiliating position in which M.r8. Furgmwoa finds herself is very am using. Nlioe Aanie Hughes makes a clever and charming "Penelop-e," her splendid acting meritinr veil-deserved applause oil several oeoasions. The scene in whioh she drives home the truih to her dear friend Mrs. Fergusso-n that Mrs. Ma.rk is dead is exceedingly cleverly done. Mr. Robert Minster, as the unfaithful hus- band. has an ungenerous part to play. but he performs his task in a perfectly pleasing ma nine r. Miss Ijnina Hutchison, a* the saintly Mrs. Golightly. who is more oon- corned in converting the heathens than in looking after her home affairs, is also very fine, whilst other characters are ably sus- tained by Mr. Arthur WiUoughby (Professor Golightly), Mr. Arthur Carrel 1 (Mr. Daven- port Barlow), and Mies Mary Jennings, who makes a delightful Mrs. Fergusson. Tlie play is preceded by a-ii amusing dnologue, entitled "Two in a Trap," in which Miss Rita Ward and Mr. Gordon Ash appear.

CARDIFF EMPIRE I. The outstanding turn at the Cardiff Empire this wfeek is a remarkable sketch presented by Miss Kate Carney and her company, entitled The Viddisher Hoy." It is a ncene* I in Petticoat-lane, and the fun waxes fast and furious. Most of the humour is provided bv a couple of pseudo-Hebrews, but there are also a number of other good characters, including a comical dwarf, who performs prodigies of valour. Of course. Miss Carney is very mnch to the fore, and leads t.he singing of The Yiddisher Boy," a song with a rattling chorus. Miss Carney sings a couple of other catchy songs, particularly the one entitled Good morning, Mr. Postman." Daley Cooper and Miss Mabel Lait appear in a farcical domestic comedy, A Man of Spirit." The lady's husband objects to her strong affection for the military, and decides to don uniform, in order to show her that he. too, is a man of spirit, while the lady appears in the costume of a mounted nurse. There is a lively aDd laughable scene between them. Mendel, the wonderful blind pianist, pays yet. another visit, and, as usual, his brilliant playing amazes the audience. Alf. Ripon. the Scotch ventriloquist, introduced Macpher- son, t.he Komic Scot, much to the amuse- ment of the audience. Matthews and Reece, speciality athletes, performed some notable jumping feats, and some excellent pictures of the Cardiff Horse Show held the attention of the audience. Other good turns were Max Carl and Harry Carr, comedians, and Harry Marte, dancer and comedian.

James John. Martin, a Pent re schoolboy, was ordered six strokes with the birch-rod at Ystrad on Monday for stealing 22 dozen evening newspapers from Ystrad Rhondda Station on the night of September 4. the property of the Taff Vale Railway Company. Detectives Roberts and Wilson, in the employ of the railway company, proved the case.
