AN UNCLE'S MONEY. I STRAXGE EVIDENCE IN FORGERY I CHARGE. John Walton (39), a solicitor, Thornaa-street Woolwich, Harry Edward Walter, his manag- ing clerk, and Thomas Russell, rubber mer- chant, were charged at Bow street, Lon- don., on Thursday with being concerned together in obtaining £ 246 by virtue of a forged instrument on behalf of the Post- master-General. It was stated that Walton last year took out letters of administration in connection with the estate of Mr. Harry Cole, unole of Mt Jamee New, storeman at. Woolwich Arsenal, who left zEZ46 in the Po^t Office Savings' Bitnk. A warrant was issued for the payment of the sum to Walton, as solicitor for Mr. New, together with the form authorising Walton to receive the money. The latter document required Mr. News signature, which had to be attested by a commissioner of-oaths. It was stated that Walters and Russell went to the office of a commissioner, where Russell represented him- self to be 31r. New. They then took the documents to the post-office and obtained S2446, which they handed to Walton, who gave L5 to each. Mr. New gave evidence corroborating, saying his uncle died in 1873. Many years afterwards wituess came across the Post Office Savings' Bank book, in which monev stood to his uncle's credit. He instructed Walton to obtain the m<)n-ey, but he never received it. The form of authority bearing his name was a forgery. Replying to Walton, witness said he knew of no <)thcr claimants to the money. Ruell said he did not sign the form. He could not write his own name aud address. Prisoners were remanded, bail being allowed.

Mr. Thomas is now Welsh champion for 1910, a.nd is entitled as such to play in the final round at Glasgow to decide who is to meet Major Fleming, the 1909 champion of Great Britain and Ireland It is to be hoped that Mr. Thomas will make the journey to Scotland. Thomas started well, and with a break of 57 obtained a. lead of 68. Matters were even till 259. when Jeremiah got the lead, and with useful items got to 415 to his opponent's 297, the bells running somewhat unkindly for the latter. Then a change came, and with several useful breaks, including a well-played 68, Thomas reached 500. his opponent's score being 468. On resuming in the evening Thomas further increased his lead with runs of 23, 20, 40 34 35, 30. 23. 20, 30, 28. 22, and 95 (unfinished), and ran out au easy winner.

CITY STREET LIGHTING. I CONVERSION TO BE EXPEDITED AT CARDIFF. The finance committee of the Cardiff Cor- poration on Thursday discussed the question of converting the whole of the street gas lamps from fiat-flame to Lnoandescent lights. Mr. J. W. Oourtis (deputy-chairman of the lighting -committee) pointed out that at the present rate of conversion, for which the committee had already set aside £1,000 per annum, the work would take two years to complete. After discussion it was decided to expedite the work under the direction of the city engineer, and to complete the conver- sion before next winter, in view of the numerous representations received from rate- payers living in streets where the improve- ment has not already taken place.

Overdraft of Pr,35 i0001 CARDIFF COLLEGE FINANCES The Court, of Governors of the University College of South Wales and Monmouthiihire at Cardiff on Thursday received from the registrar (Mr. Austin Jenkins) an important and dispiriting report on the financial poedtion of the college.* People sometimes looked aghast tsaid Mr. Jenkins) wnen they heard of the overdraft on the infirmary, but how would they look, he wondered, when they heard of the present overdraft and the prospective financial posi- tion of that college. Their debts and over- draft at the end of the present year would not be far short of L,35,000, and they were heaping it up continuously. They all knew how fortunate the college had been in having been treated so generously by certain people who had official relationship with the tiolle,ge-there were good friends of the col- lege in that meeting, to whom the £ were deeply indebted—but the fact remained that, so fa.r as he could judge, they were heaping up an adlJlual debt of about 12,500 on the ordinary working of the college, though, of course, it was impossible for anyone to judge accurately at, present, The increased grants from the Treasury were ear-marked, and t.he auditor would see that not a.,t-ingle penny of those grants was spent in meeting the ordinary increases of expenditure in con- nection with the working of the college. Indeed, the Treasury grant would increase their deficit, because they couJd not spend several thousand pounds without, increasing the administrative expenses, which would ha.ve to be added to the ordinary expendi- ture. It was a most serious outlook that they were adding to the overdraft to t,he extent he had mentioned. He was glad that some of them had been able to collect £ 12,000 towards the building fund, which meant a saving of JMiOO a year in interest. (Hear, hear.) The greatest care had been exercised not to waste a penny piece on the electric lighting and heating of the ooHege. and, Ho far as he could see, not a penny wa.s wasted in the administration of the collee, but however thi-iit-" the officials might be, and however careful the oouncil might be as to expenditure, the loss on the present year's working would not be less than L2,000, which, they would agree, was a very serious state of things. I Mr. Jenkins explained that since the la?t i meeting in October the college had received half of the additional annual grant in cash of L5,500, which grant would date back to April 5 last. A grant of £ 4,000 had been given to Bangor, which was the smallest of the three colleges, and Aberystwyth and Cardiff—the latter of which was by far the largest college of the three—had been simi- larly treated. But, in addition to the L4,000, an amount of £1,500 in the shape of a special grant had been given towards the equip- ment and completion of the medical school in Cardiff. The council had adopted the scheme submitted by the sub-committee, by which the £1,500 would be spent chiefly in the appointment of new teachers and in increasing the salaries of the present pro- fessors of the medical school, while the rest would be spent in the equipment. Of the other grant, 11,000 had been given to the library and the department of science for the purchase of apparatus. A sum of £ 2,000 was giveu by the Treasury definitely for the advancement of salaries, and LSOO towards providing further tutorial assistance. As to the question of salaries, Mr. Jenkins remarked that members had often deplored the meagre salaries paid to the heads of departments in that college. Though they had been advanced, the salaries now paid were far behind those paid in the great modern universities. Mr. Jenkins explained that the grants he had referred to were ear-marked for the particular purposes. Dr. W. T. Edwards, who presided, proposed a resolution expressing gratification at the additional gra,ut made by the Treasury. He hoped this was only a foretaste of what was to come, because the Treasury would not have done its duty to this section of the United Kingdom until they had made the Principality co-equal partners in grants to educational insti- tutions. They were a long way from that position at present, but he believed the public spirit of the community in the district I would become so strong that, although they looked to their wealthy friends to support the colleges, they wouid obtain better sup- Port from the State as well. Mr. Peter Wright (Newport) regretted that so few wealthy people bad done their duty in contributing to the amount on money required for wiping off the debt of that col- lege. They should make an appeal to the wealthy to realise their duty. They heard a great deal about Dreadnoughts, but in the competition with other nations was there anything more important than that our universities should be properly maintained? The Government might reduce the number of Dreadnoughts in future to enable the debt of the universities to be paid off. When he looked at the money spent by Germany and Austria on education he felt ashamed of the British democracy and the British men of wealth. They were greatly indebted to men like the late Mr. John Cory and Lord Tredegar, but there was a certain eeotiou of the wealthy who would never give. (Hear hear. ) Mr. W. P. Nicholas (Pontypridd) said he had been impressed by the seriousness of the report given them, and he wouJd undertake with Dr. Thomas, to go round the Rhondda to see if they could get some of the wealthy men there to subscribe. To give encourage- ment to the movement, he would subscribe a. ram of EIOO. (Applause.) He had no doaobt the Rhondda would respond well, and he hoped other districts in Glamorgan and Monmouthshire would do the same. I Mr. Samuel Jones (Abertillery) suggested that the council should take into considera- tion the appointment of a thoroughly capable or?aniaer, so as to reach the =Ply. generally. The resolution submitted by the chairmen was carried. I

A BRILLIANT CAREER. I NEW PATHOLOGICAL CHEMIST I FOR CARDIFF. Mr. Morgan Thomas presided at a meeting of the Cardiff Mental Hospital Committee on Thursday, when Dr. R. V Stanford, of Dudley, Worcestershire, was appointed pathojogical chemist at the mental hospital at a salary of X200 a year, with board and lodging. There were ten applicants for the poet, and Dr. Goodall (medical superintendent) said Dr. Stanford was the only one who conformed entirely with their requirements, as he had practical knowledge, in addition to the theory of the others, who were merely chemists. Dr. Stamford 18 only 25 years of age, and comes with a host of diplomas and certifi- oates from Birmingham and Kiel University His career, for one so young, is full of interest,. From 1896 to 1903 he was a,t King Edward's School. Birmingham, leaving at nineteen with the 6chool exhibition for general proficiency- Then he gleaned a bar. Test of honours.

PATRIOTISM IN BUSINESS. I TRAFFIC AND THE MANCHESTER I SHIP CANAL. Mr. Bytbell .presided on Thursday at a generail meeting of the Manchester Ship Canal held in Manchester. In moving the adoption of the report, the Chairman said Ms impression was that, although an improvement had set in in some quarters, and seemed likely to continue, they were not yet on the eve of a boom. Locally things did not look particularly encouraging. Their staple trade had been in a somewhat unfor- tunate position for some time past, and there did not seem to be mucth sign of an improve- ment. Sfoort time in the cotton trade would probably continue for a very long while. If. said Mr. Bytihell, more patriotism could be infused into the mercantile and manufac- taring community of the district, they would poon make a large expansion of traffic. Self- interest was the dominant factor in business, and on that account he appealed to the I manufacturing oammunity. The reports and accounts were adopted. ———— = —— —

t  Wasting can be cured when the trouble is first known to be wasting, or when your child or yourself have suffered for a long time from any form of wasting, by SCOTT'S Emulsion Wasting, rapid or gradual, is cured by giving Scott's Emul- sion, which is not a medicine that merely gives temporary relief, Scott's Emulsion permanently cures wasting in all its forms This statement is made here with confidence because, hundreds of parents have written to say their chil- dren were. cured of one form of wasting or another by Scott's Emulsion. For example, Mrs. Kerfoot wrote, May. 20th, 1909, from 1, Brookhouse Terrace, Wigan, Lanes: "My youngest child began to waste away soon after birth, and it was ) heartbreaking for me to watch her continually crying and wasting almost to a skeleton, eventually I lost all hope of her. At last I tried Scott's ? Emulsion, and I have been thankful from the day I did so, having now a big fine bouncing baby which any mother would be proud of. This trademark was on the emulsion I bought." Presuming you wish to stop the wasting, and influenced by the statements here made decide to buy Scott's Emulsion, decide also, and this is equally important, to GET SCOTT'S EMULSION. You may be asked to buy another emulsion, and told it is "just as good as Scott's." That proves that Scott's is THE Emulsion to buy, and proves ajso that substitute emulsions can only be sold on the reputation of Scott's Emulsion, substitute emulsions have no reputation of their own. That is why Scott's Emulsion cures and other emulsions do not cure; no other emulsion has yet been made that cures like Scott's cures! > Scott's Emulsion cures the disease—no matter the age of the patient-and will be approved by your Doctor for Wasting if you ask him.
