Tie MM in the - Street. i
Tie MM in the Street. i ——————— September 1 will ba a grca-t day at the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto, when all the men from the West of England and Wales who can possibiy get there v ill be on the spot to make the oocasion one that mast be marked with a white stone. One has to get away from the Old Country to fully appreciate it, and in far-away Canada none are so loyal to Empire and old associations as the exiles. Naturally, this gathering is to be ex 6 Naturall- made the most of, and luncheons and teas served in trne western fctyle, with Zummerut zider and Devonshire cream, will have not a little to do with the warming of British hearts and the locAF,onlng of the tongues of the absent sons who Jove to dwell so fondly on the charms of home and beauty from which they areseparatod by the cruel Atlantic. However, the exiles of the. West are not .satisfied with junkeri-ngs and rejoi ci ngs. Their more serious work is to look after the people going out to start life among the-m. to render assistance by sending j intelligence and advice to those "who are thinking of going across to them, and to knit together in a bond of brotherhood those who are already in that part of the | New World. Mr. C. W. Gigg. 9, Toronto-street, Toronto, secretary of the West of Epgla-nd Day Committee, will be glad to get into communication with any who are likely to be able to cross the Herring Pond to join in the celebrations of tlie oneofiling glorious First. In the good old days. I am told, the Llaudaff Poliee-oourt was noted for punctual .justices and sittings. With the rllsh of modernity the business has increased considera bly a.nd corre- spondingly with the development of the districts within the boundaries division. With an increased number of differences to set-tie and more prisoners to send to their deserts, the magistrates are losing their one-time characteristic punctuality, much to the inconvenience of solicitors practicing in that court, as well as of litigant. and witnesses, to say nothing of the discomfort of evil-doers anxious to "get the a-gony over." In bare justice to the faithful it should Ik' explained that the flock does not consist entirely of "tainted wethf,m." Colonel Woods, who is now. unfortunately, indisposed, was always in his place, and yesterday Dr. Taylor was in attendance at the stroke of eleven. The genial doctor, hoy;ever, was the only magistrate on the rota to put in an appearance, and he had to wait half an hour before the police, with the assist- ance of the telephone, cen:rod him a coHeague. Either the magistrates now on the commission should be stimulated to a sense* of their duty, or. as has already been suggested in Parliament, the list of justices should be added to. From one point of view, that of the management, there is considerable1 room for gratification in the report of the worki)? ct the ( ardif* T.amways for the year ending March last. Figures are produced to show that the n ine months of increased fares cannot be written down as a ft; i hi re. But grant- ing that, with the possibility, if not strong probability, that the higher fares have no relation to the growth in the j number of passengers, due to a number of reasons that could not be foreseen, it has to be said that figures do not prove everything. For one thing they cannot prove away the fact that a large section of the working people of Cardiff have been hard hit by the tyrannical increases tila t practically meant increased rents. Fortunately for the city council, perhaps, the whole of the ratepayers do not live beyond the penny zone, and those who reside within it cannot be expected to wax wrath in the cause of their injured neighbours. But with the tramways successful or otherwise, the morality of the question remains where it was. and the clear duty of the corporation is to do what is in their power to restore the old order of things. They cannot put back the coppers wrung from the depleted purses of work- ing girls during the past year, but they can decide that the IXl-st twelve months of squeezing those who can ill afford the I luxury shall not be extended to a period I' of further extortion. Referring again to the Pontypridd movement for the organisation of juvenile labour. I am glad to hear that a very successful conference has been I held-the first of the kind in Wales, if not in England-at which 1.30 parents met the newly-formed advisory com- mittee and Mr. D. J. Charles, the manager of the local labour exchange. There is every reason to believe that the eventual result will be most beiictftcial to all concerned. The boys and giris are likely to begin life under more encourag- ing conditions, the parents will have a brighter future to look forward to, with the terror of unemployment reduced to the minimum, and the members of the committee will be rewarded by the con- sciousness of having performed good works. This may sound rather fine talk, but there can be no doubt that this organisation is the beginning of great things, and the young tree just planted at Pontypridd will bear its fruit in good time, and I am confident that after a few years t-he utmost anticipations of those tending it will be amply realised. With regard to the position of Mr. Charles, it should be stated that, while he should have the credit of being the first to move in the matter (all the more praiseworthy because he was not among the first batch of managers appointed), the scheme for the appointment of advisory committees was drafted by the Board of Trade, and is included in the Labour Exchange Act. I am glad to mention this because it shows that the path in which the progressive Ponty- priddians are walking is open to the advancing spirits of other districts where the Labour Exchange has been estab- lished. Indeed, this branch should be regarded sus the most urgent part of the new work, for it aims not bo much at the cure of unemployment as its prevention. An old proverb says that prevention is ever the best, and here the local authori- ties have a golden opportunity t-hat should be worked for all that it is worth. Possibly similar work has been initiated elsewhere, and in such an event I shall be glad to call attention to the fact by doing my share in giving it the publicity it deserves.

Many babies don't thrive, do what you may. SCOTT'S EMUL- SION will make them. Thousands of babies would never have been reared at all without Scott's Emul- sion.

In a few days the child began to brighten, Gradually gained strength fand at 15 months is a plump, bonny child." ? jjj???

A DOG ACCUSED
A DOG ACCUSED In Marylebone County-court Mrs. ijilian Read claimed 308 compensation from her next-door neighbour, Edward Lyon, both living at Kilbjm, for the loss of her hen rnd seven chickens. The plaintiff said that Mr. Lyon's Pomeranian (iog squeezed through the doorway and killed eight of her fowls. The Judge: Wha-t do >ou know of the dog being mischievous? The Plaintiff I do not know anything about that. His Honour said that as there was no evidence that the dog was a vicious animal the plain- tiff must be non-suited.

GIRL POSES AS A BOY A sirteen-year-old girl named Alice Gor- don, who, dressed in boy's clothes, had gained a situation as a van boy, was charged on remand at North London Polioe-oourt yes- terday with stealing 30s. "Ia there any law which says what a woman shall wear?" asked the girl. Mr. H-edderwick: It is against all ideas of deoency that a. girl should dress as a boy. There are instanoee recorded of women becoming soldiers and fighting in the ranks, but this sort of thing is not proper and not good form. In the end the prisoner was placed under the care of one of the probation offioers.

Rich, But Eccentric I I
Rich, But Eccentric CARDIFF'S BLIND TOBACCONIST Eooentric in hi., ways, yet of a most genrial disposition, was Mr. Kafaelo Romeo of Oardiff, who passed away last night alter a. lingering illness. Though of foreign extraction, Rafaelo was a link with "old Cardiff," arid he was a boon companion of survivors of the old school. He was 77 years of age, and for many years he had carried on business ae a tobacconist at 31, Bute-terrace. He had no family history, and no relatives to care for him in his declining years, nor to be beneficiaries of his estate. He never married, a.nd suoh money as he had amassed was of little use to him in the sense of display, as he lived a solitary life, never so happy as when serving in his little shop-and retiring to rest in his lonely habitat aJter bUl:illessj hours. He had a big clientele of customers, and, although of late years he was quite blind, it elands to their credit that very rarely was the old gentleman token in with spurious coins or cheated out of his mer- chandise. He was ioved too well to be vic- timised. A sailor himself, he waa a sailor's friend. He was free with his money, end did kindly acts of which but a few have any cognisance. He was reputed to own thousands, but how much he had and who will reap the benefit are not yet known. lie had a citroke some time ago, aaid succumbed to a second seizure. He born at Hagusa (Dalmatia). Was at 6ea for 26 years, and aoquired some wealth in the gold diggings in Sacramento. With all his means, and without friends to succour him. at the last, he would hate been in somewhat of a plight but for the attention paid 10 him by Mr. Antonio Rad- miiovic (father of the champion swimmer) and his wife, Mrs. R-admilovic, natives of the same place, who live cloce by, and befriended him throughout his long illness and up to the time of his decease. Gossip About Hidden Treasure ? Romeo was a, recluse, and an uncommunica- tive man. His shop was his shrine. lie dis- pesed of the business a few mouths ago, but he bought it baok again. H-e returned to it blind and in his dotage, and stood at his post until he was bedridden. It must have been a great solace to hun to the over the shop, and his last hours were feweeteued by constant friendly care and solicitude. The olri gentleman was very much of a mystery. He never married. H? never went anywhere, never purchased anything to speak of, wore the same clothes always. He was reported to be rich—was said to have a hoard of several thousands concealed somewhere a.bout the premises, of which he was the only tenant. The gossip oontinues-Ilow much did he leave? Who will benefit under his will, if any?—queries that will be answered in due course. Some say the police will benefit; others the Catholic Church in whose Com- munion Romeo was born, and was the recipient of her last consolations.

MURDERED FOR A SANDWICH I
MURDERED FOR A SANDWICH I Vincennes has been the scene of an extra- ]' ordinary murder case, a young woman having been killed by a casual acquaintance over the trifling question as to the price of a sandwich. The couple had met in the even- ing, and the young man, who is supposed to be a soldier, paid for drinks in a cafe.

CRiPPEN AT LAST ?I iI
CRiPPEN AT LAST ? I I Armed with Revolver. Armed with Revolver. HIS COMPANION IN TEARS I DRAMATIC SCENE I BETRAYED BY CONVERSATION j I There is now almost conclusive evidence I that Dr. Orippen and Miss le Neve are on II board the Canadian Pacific Company's steamer Montrose, bound from Antwerp to Quebec, and that when the steamer rea-ches the Golf of St Lawrence the fugitive ooupie will be confronted with Inspector Dew, who has played so prominent a part in the Camden-road cellar mystery. The inspector is on board the White Star liner I>i urentic, a much faster boat, which should easily out- distance the slower-going Montrose. Both vessels are due in the St. Lawrence about the same time. The Laurentic is fixed to arrive at Quebec on Saturday, and it is expected that she will have overtaken the Montrose a few hours from the iirst Canadian point of call. The Montrose has, on the request of Scotland Yard, been asked to pit in for this ipecial occasion at ltimouski, the port at the mouth of the St. Lawrence miles beLow Quebec: where the Canadian mails are landed, aud it is here the St. Law-I rence pilots are picked up, and in all probability Inspector Dew will board the ship. From Rimouski he would be able to take his prisoners on by rail to Montreal. The extradition proceedings would occupy about a fortnight, so that the date of the arrival of the party in England would be about a month from now. They would be taiien ¡ straight to Bow-street. Like a Professor I The passenger agent at Antwerp recalls i the ooupie arriving there on the sailing morning (July 2I.J) at 8.30. He says the man looked unkempt, with a, drooping moustache, eczema spots, a high forehead, and well- marked eyebrows. He might have been a. doctor or a professor. Tiie boy looked like a student, with small features, and small, round, pleasing face. The agent says that if Robinson is Crippen his photograph llatters him. He did not appear nervous. The boy- kept silent. Robinson wore a light-grey suit and grey soft hat.

The tca.fie shows beyoud cavil what an invincible agency for the detection of crime may be. constituted by the joining hands of Scotland laid and q Talked of Their Escape." The fuli story of the arrest on board the Montrose, which 'took place under most dramatic circumstances, id gineii by the "Daily Express." It ycates that during the voyage Miss Le j Neve api)-eared to be ill, and rarely left her cabin. Sympathetic inquiries were made, and Crippen explained that the boy" was in delicate health. Suspicions were soon aroused by her appearance, but no confirmation was obtained until Friday last, when the couple were overheard talking together about their escape. Captain xveudall, (.e commander of the Montrose, was a.t once informed, and com- municated by meajis of wireless telegraphy with Mr. A. llier4, manager of the steamahip lines of the Cana.dian Pacific Company, by whom the message was sent from Liverpool to Scotland Yajd. t-everal messages after- wards passed between Scotland Yard and the Montrose. In the meantime a clos-e watch was kept on the suspects. Suspicion developed into certainty, and on Saturday Captain KeiKla-ll, using the almost absolute power possessed by the commander of a ship at sea, decided to arrest the couple. Revolver Found i Crippen and Miss Le Neve were oomronteci by Captain Kendall, the chief officer, and the j purser. Orippen was immediately searched, and deprived of a revolver, a number of cart- ridges, --Irlil a penknife, while Miss La Neve burst into teal's. Cripren at once demanded to know what offence he was charged with, and was told that he had contravened tht. law by repre- senting that the woman with whom he was travelling was a boy, and by giving a falsfc I i a rue in the pape.i-.> which he h:zd signed. He could have freed himself by proving that the woman waa his wife and ottering evidence of his identity. He failed, however, to produce a marriage certificate or any document bearing out his assertion that his n:1IDO v.as Robinson. » On this technical charge he and Miss ie Neve were immediately placed under close arrest in separate cabins. Crippen is watched day and night by an oifioer of the ship and a seaman, while a stewardess and a seamian keep similar guard over the woman. ML-s Le Neve is in a distressing condition of collapse, and has expressed her willingness to make a statement to a police official as soon as possible. Crippen declares that he can prove his innocence. All means by which he or the woman could possibly injure tbenu-elv?s have been remOVed/' from the cabins in which they are confinl, and every precaution for their safe oustody is being taken. Detective's Dash In aooordanoe with the request of the polioo authorities, the White Star Line, the owners of the Laurentic, on board which Chief-inspector Dew is pursuing the fugitives, and the Canadian Pacifio Company, the owners of the Montrose, have arranged for the vessels to keep in touch by means of wireless telegra,phv. The Laurentio is I bains pushed ahead at full speed, and should overtake the Montrose on Thursday evening. If the weather is modomte Chief-inspector Dew will then be transferred by boat to the Montrose and will formally make his arrests, j An Ugiy Occasion DELAY MIGHT HAVE MEANT DEATH ?, ?

Crippen, according to this informant, aocom- p-tnied the police officers to the staircase leading to the cellar where, several (lays later, the human remains were unearthed, but as they were about to descend the "doctor" mad-e an excuse for allowing- the policemen to go fir-t. lie himself remained behind at the top of the stairs, and after i some moments of awkward sea.rch in the gemi a.rkne8.5 he called out with a sinL-.ter I laugh, You will never find anything there!" a,nd thei, It's not a nice place to stay in!" At the same time one of the officers noticed that Crippen held something in his hand, which appeared to glint and gleam. In the lig-ht of the later knowledgeobta.ined by the police, that Crippen always tarried a loaded revolver, there can be little doubt that he mea.nt more tha.n he said on that ugly occasion, and that if either of the men in the ooal cellar below him had delayed over Ion! or found at that moment the loosened bricks, whioh later revealed the true nature of the oharnel house, they might never have left the secret tomb alive. The Ocean Race I The i're«3 Association Bays the jALurentic, with Inspector Dew on board, must to-day be close behind the Montrose, which is carry- ing the ooupie believed to be Orippen and Le Neve, and it is anticipated that some time to-morrow the two vessels will be abreast, although about 400 miles afiart. If necessary the Laurernic's course will be altered to enable Inspector Dew to speak by wireless with the Montrose captain. The statement that Le Neve has disclosed her identity I receives littl. consideration.

I - __- -THE FOOTBALL LIBEL…
THE FOOTBALL LIBEL ACTION Scots Wax Sarcastic The Scotch papers have been giving great prominence to the L-lanelly football libel action, and yesterday the "Glasgow Herald" had quite a sarcastic editorial on the ques- tion. It says;»— This judgment, while it assesses quite fairly the amount of damages sustained by almost any We^sh Rugby team publicly lLC<:Ut-e<i of rough play. must make it still more difficult for those who write about football to criticise frankly stioh tactics as a deliberate attempt to disable an oppo- nent. It is fair comment in this cark- comment, for which, we trust, the plaintiffs will not demand another farthing dajnages --that, if their play had not been in some degree questiouab'-e, this action would not have been raised. It goes on to say that Welsh papers will not be restrained from comment on rough play, because there is urgent need for out- spoken censorship there, claiming that a recollection of Welifu international matches alone justifies this statement. Then it smirks virtuously: It is satisfactory to reflect outside the boundaries of the Principality this case is not likely to affect the relationship between players and the press. In our experience no Scotch or English paper has ever found it lJecry to charge a team or its members with deliberate dirty tactics. And the Scotch judge, especially in a case where a whole team claimed damages, would be not unlikely to throw out their action on the ground that it came into the category of sponaiones ludicraa!

It is alleged that when Millard retuffied home on Saturday night he renewed a. long- standing dispute with his wife. The argu- ment became heated, and as the disturbance continued until a. late hour the neighbours informed the police at one o'clock on Sunday morning. The police state tha-t they oould hear the parties calling each other objec- tionable names, and Mrs. Millard is alleged to have smashed the windows. When eventually the police forced their way into the house they saw that the man was bleeding from an ugly cut on the side of his face.
