Riot and Bloodshed I 7,000 POOR PEOPLE SACK A TOWN I 7,000 POOR PEOPLE SACK A TOWN I Terrible scencs of riot and bloodshed have occurred at Bari, on the Adriatic coaat, fol- lowing a general strike among all classes of workers (wires the Madrid correspondent of the "Daily Chronicle") The strike is the direct result, of a con- siderable increase in the price of corn and in house-rents, and as yesterday corresponded to the English quarter-day, when rents were due and should have been paid, the towns- people rose in maseee. Thousands of the poorer people, unable to meet what they regard as the fresh extortions I of the landlords, had had notice to leave their dwellings within 24 hours or to suffer eviction. With this possibility hanging over them. and driven to desperation by hunger, an angry mob, 7,000 strong, marched through I the streets and practically forced every busi- ness, private and municipal, to come to a standstill. Tramcars that continued to run were wrecked and the conductors and drivers I roughly handled, and shops whose owners refused to close them were plundered and I in some cases burned. Police and soldiers who had taken up positions in public and other buildings were driven out. and the buildings were set on I fire. The property of unpopular landlords was visited with special severity; many houses being broken up and burned. There was constant firing in the streets between the mob and landlords, and five people were shot dead. Thirty soldiers and about fifty civilians were taken to hospitals, many of them being dangerously wounded.. The fury of the people has by no means exhausted itself, and the authorities are anticipating further trouble.

Important Coal Deal ? TR.EDECAR AND MARKHAM COMPANIES I During the xmift few days there has been a keen demand, for shares of the Tredegar Iron and Coal Company (Limited), and after a series of advances these shares on Wednes- day were again put up 4Jd. to 15s. ljd. It is reixxrted that the demand has sprung up as the result of negotiations between the Tredegar Company and the newly-formed Markham CoaJ Company (limited), which have aoq-atred a large taking adjoining the Tredegar Oompany's properties, and are about to com.mence sinking's. The Markham Coal Company is cl«se.W allied to the Tredegar Company already, M, A. B. Markham, M.P., wlio, with Mrs. Markham, holds practically all the shares' being deputy-chairman of the Tredegar Com- pany. Mr. Woolley, late of the Tredeear Company, was a few days ago appointed manager of the Markham Company, and it is thought probable that the Markham Com- pany will be camed on in future as one of the branches of the Tredegar undertaking

IDENTIFICATION OF CORPSES As ameans of preserving nn identified bodies with a view to their ultimate identification, the London Corporation have adopted at the City Mortuary the system invented by Dr. G. de Rechter, which has beem in use for some time by the municipality in Brussels, and in which the action of formalin is utilised. It consists of an airtight case com- municating with a smaller chamber, in which formalin vapour is generated. The body is placed in the larger oompartment, through which ,he vapour of formic aldehyde is con- tinuously circulated by means of an electric fan. The oorpse within can be readily viewed through glass windows provided for the pur- pose. The new system, it is stated. has proved a great success in London. The first body treated-a man who had been drowned—was in excellent preservation over throo months afterwards, and had required no further treatment in the meantime.

MADMAN ON MOTOR-CAR Kemarkable evidence concerning a lunatic who stole a motor-car wae given at London Sessions yesterday, when John Allen, a chauffeur, was charged with stealing a car valued at some £400 from Meeere. Friswell (Limited). The company's manager said that Allen called at their garage and asked for the hire of a car for Lady Samuelson. He handed Allen an invoice for Lady Samuelson to sign, and an hour later found Allen try- ing to start the engine. Finding the papers had not been signed, he telephoned to Lady SaEtuelson, and, having his suspicions con- ifirmed, went to search for the prisoner. lie, however, next saw him with the car in the street, when he was arrested. Lady Samael- son said she did not know Alien. He was found guilty, but insane-on the medical evidence-and ordered to be detained. TEN MINUTES' STRUGGLE "Altogether he gave me three kicks, one i on the head, and I was struggling on the ground with him for ten minutes. It took if our of us to get him to the po.JiœoStation." Thus spoke Acting-detective William Davies in accusing John O'Brien (22) at C-ardiff Polioc court to-day of using bad language and assault. Inspector Bingham gave pri- soner a bad character, and he was sen- tenced ÎQ a month's hard labour.

HIGHER COAL OUTPUT There was an increase of 2,M5,517 tons in the coal output of the United Kingdom last year according to the .return issued yester- day, making the total 263,774,312 tone. In t907 however, it was 267,812,000 tons. The number of miners increased from 987,813 to 1.013,998. 60,000 more than in 1307. No doubt the Eight Hours Act is to be considered. Most of the districts last year show better outputs, exoept the Midland, Stafford, and Swansea ones. The decrease in the output of metal ores and of men employed therein continues. The death-rate among miners was very slightly higher last year.

Scots Keen on Flyingi .— o TO-DAY'S COMPETITIONS I The fiiMi day of the Scottish international aviation meeting a,t Lanark opened to-day fine and bright. The wind. however, was stronger than it had beem all the week. Officially its velocity had been given at from 17 to 24 miles an hour, but the occasional gusts were of much, greater strength, read- ing at times 35 milus per hour. The pros- peote of flying were fax from good and the wind would have to moderate considerably era the aviators would venture out. The Scottish enthusiasm for aviation, which hrwl been most pronounced during the we-ek. received a further stimulus by the offer of Messr?. Pettigrew and SUiphenw, of Glasgow, of a prize of £ 250 for the first aviator who eucceeded in making a flight from the aerodrome across country to Glasgow round the university and back to Lanark without, I touching the ground. Aviators have inspected il the surrounding country, and state their would be ready to-morrow. None of the aviators ventured out until five minutes past one, when Kuller, made the first appearance of the meeting. He entered for t the ditipatch-caxrying competition, in which the competitors were to carry a weight repre- -renting a dispatch, and endeavouring to drop it on a white target twelve yards in diameter, which was placed on the ground immediately opposite the shilling enclosure. His perform- ance was a sensational one, a.nd lasted but a few minutes. A na^ty wind wa,s blowing across the course at the rate of over 24 miles an hour when he set out on his Antoinette monoplane, which was engined with a 6>ii.p. E.N.V. engine. It was a peculiar-looking j machine, the only one of its sort entered at the meeting, but it had a good Continental reputation. Kuller had /just completed the straight, when ?usts of wind struck him broadside. throwing the machir? over and ?ma<hinc tb? propeller and front par* of the aeroplane Kulier stuck to his seat, and alighted unhurt when the machine became stationary. This was Kuller's first accent. A large crowd wit- ( nessed the accident. Mr Whita's Oversea Flight 11 Mr. Grahame White made another cross- country and oversea flight; from Blackpool to New Brighton and back thite morning. Start- ing at a quarter 'to teven, he had to descend on the sande owing to engine troubles, but at a quarter to ten he was off again, and reached New Brighton joot. before eleven.

Wonderful Escape I I LEAP FROM BLAZING BALLOON I A desperate leap for life was made at Augsburg Yesterday evening by an aeronaut who ascended from near LecJiha-usen in a I fire-balloon without a car (wires the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Express "). The wind blew the balloon rapidly towards A liggburg, and then, suddenly, dense clouds of smoke and flames wore seen issuing from the envelope. The balloon began to fall rapidly, and ¡ the aeronaut, realising his imminent peril, took his life in his hands and leaped, to the horror of the thousands of spectators who were watching from below. The houses stood thiok beneath him, and he fell on the roof of an English girls' school and ora-shed through it. He escaped I injury miraculously, and crawled down- stairs. After sailing over the town for a while the balloon was demolished by t,be flames. j

CHILD TO BE RETURNED I Matilda liicharde, a married woman, of Ponthir, appeared at Caierleon to-day in answer to an adjourned summons, issued against her by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, for assault- ing and ill-treating her son, Percy, aged nine years, at Ponthir. Mr. Lyndon Cooper, New- port, appeared for the prosecution, and remind-ed the bench that the charges of cruelty had been proved at a previous court, and that aJ1 order for the child to be taken aivay from its mother was granted. Since the cessation of the defendant's active cruelty by beating the child he had materially improved in health, and the society thought that after being taught a lesson by this prosecution the defendant might once more be allowed to have the custody of the child. The Bench ordered the child to be returned to defendant, who was also ordered to pay the court fees.

NEIGHBOUR'S STORY I Of Bristol Tragedy I SWANSEA MAN'S DEFENCE David Davies (38), of Swansea, was brought I up on remand at Bristol to-day charged with the wilful murder of George Brit-ton, of Vic- toria-road, St. George, on July 26. When asked if he had any statement to make to-day, the accused said, "I desire lc) call witr.esse«. George Francis Stood ley, a surgical boot- maker, of 33. Victoria-road, lied fields, was then ca-lled. He fi.aid his house was next door to the hOllSoe formerly occupied by the deceased man. He had known the Brittons as neigh- bours for n. couple of years. He was in bed on the nighc of the tragedy, when he was aroused by knocking at the Brittons' door juet after twelve o'clock. He heard Mrs. Britton say, You old pig. What did you lock me out for?" Britton replied, I ain't going to have you ooming in' here this time of night." Witness heard a row after this, and heard Britton say. he shan't stop here to-ni^ht." After the row had gone on for some time it sounded to witness, who was still in his bedroom, as if Mrs. Britton rail upstairs, a.nd that her husband ran after her. He had up to this time heard no other voices but thcee of the Brittons. There was a heavy fall, and he heard Mrs. Britton say, Don't, don't, don't!" and the words got fainter, as if she was fighting for her life. He hoard Britton cursing and swearing, and subse- quontly there oame the eound of another heavy thud, as if someone fell, and he heard the words, Oh, oh!" uttered faintly, and then Mrs. Britton eried, "I didn't tell you to do that." Afterwards Mrs. Brittor. rushed into the street shouting, He has out my husband's throat." Witness jumped out oi bed, but did not go down after hearing that i someone had been murdered. He was up to that time under the impression that it was l simply a, quarrel between Britton and his wife, (Proceeding.)

Action Misconceived" PGNTNEWYDD BUILDING CASE I In Newport County-court to-day his Honour I Judge Hill Kelly had before him the unusual case of Williams v. Morgan, in which the defendant, Thomas Morgan, stated to be a collier, was called upon to pay £51 as deposit under a contract of tiale of houses at Pont- newydd. Mr. Albert Parson6 (instructed by Mr. Theodore Roberts) appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. James Williams, of Newport; Mr. Lincoln iteed (instructed by Mr. R. Hilt- I Male) was for defendant. Mr. Parsons sai-l the plaintiff l&it year built seventeen houses at Pontnewydd, at tl-55 per house, and mortgaged them to the extent I of £ 130 per house, leaving about £J5 as the equity of redemption per house. The ground rent was 30s. per house. Early this year he wanted to raise money, and put an advertise- ment in the Evening Express in these terms:- £ 300 cash will purchase a bloak of four- teen newly-erected houses; well let; will Pay 12 per cent. 'n reply to that the plaintiff received i letter on March 29 from the defendant, who want to see the hoiBsee, and at^reed to buy and to pay ti down and JE50 further deposit, to bind the bargain. Neither of those sums were J1<ft.id. It was true, Mr. Parsons said, that the advertisement made no mention of the fact that all that was intended be sold waø the ecfuitv of rodemp-t ion, hut that, he said, would yieid the 12 per cent. The defen- dant, thougih a collier, and said to be a very illiterate man, must have known that he was not buying" the whole of fourteen -b-ouew for £.300. That would have represented a return off 60 to 70 per cent. Hid Honour; It was a very stupid and tmj-asfcifkfcble thing for a business man to say in an advertisement. Mr. Lincoln Heed It was done to cateh this ciads of man (referring to the defen- dant). Mr. Lincoln Reed having raised a point as to the form in which the action had been I brought, His Honour said he thought the action was misconceived, and non-suited the plaintiff, the defendant to have all proper costs.

Exciting Scenes I Detective Albert Davies said tha.t he saw Tong J?ee and .Ah Saw emerge from the court, and when in Kin?sway he S3w a ci,7 Chinamen advance threateningly towards them, one. Wong Hing, rolling up his coat slfeeve. Witness warned them, a.nd they allowed the two men to go as far as the weighing-house, when Wong Chey struck at Tong iee, who uttered a scream or Two others. Ah Yong- and Ah Fook, 1 assaulted Tong Lee and Ah Saw. Witness arrested those two, but the fight was con- 1 tinned. He Mew his whistle, and, on seeing other officers arriving, he took Ah Yong to the station, having previously handed Ah Fook to a oivilia.n. Ah Yong struggled violently, and threw a knuckleduster into the canal. Two ladies who were passing were so terrified 1-1:12..t he sent them to the polioe- s'ta.tion. All the celestials were shouting, and about fourteen oITiceag were at this stage engaged in one continuous struggle, which j extended fiom Kmgsway Bridge to Quoon- stre<et. Some of the Chinese ran into shops, and the disturbance was very great, civilians, polioe, and China.men all being mixed up. By arrangement he had the water drained from the canal on Sunday la^t, and found ths knuckleduster produced, which was similar I to the one thrown in by Ah Yong. The row lasted about, ha,lf-an-hour. and several I^pffl'is-^TQO'n givl, them a wid-a Hr. Morgan Rces: What, Englishmen? I I am surprised to hear that! (Ijaughter.)

Biowin-g th-e Nose I A VICAR'S NEW DEVISE I "If people would only learn how to use a handkerchief correctly a great deal of serious illness would be prevented." Thai, is one of the theories of the Ikv. Allen Barra.tt, vioar of Clay gate, Surrey, who has made a lif-elong study of the effects o" improper breathing and come to many interesting conclusions. He attributes a great deal of illness to the method of blow- l ing the nopo adopted by civilisation, and he has invented a little instrument which can be attached to the nose and made to counter- act. the effect of centuries of ill-treatment. So long," he said yesterday to a press representative, as there was no such thing ag a handkerchief, and men ble, their noses in the simple m.anner still adopted by some of the poorer classes, there was no obstacle .to correct breathing, but directly the use of j the handkerchief started it was inevitable that succeeding generations should be put at a very serious disadvantage. From being constantly pinched the nostrils or wings of our noses have become na rrowe-r and nar- rower, with the result that the breathing through the passage in the nose has become more and more difficult. j The extremity of the nose should, of course, ,never be nipped, but it nearly always is. If handk?rohMfs must be used—unfortunately, method is not fit for polite societ-y the einipie method is not 61 for polite society -it should always be remembered that the nose must be held only in the middle, and never at the nostrils. Women consider iaarrow nostrils a mark of beauty- That may be .so, but they are also the cause of indifferent health and low vitality. Taking his little instrument, Mr. Barratt attached it to his nose 3° that the nostrils were slightly distended. "There," he said, you. see, I can breathe far more eaisily now. I have corrected the effect of civilisation, and am inhaling are right amount of oxygen without difficulty. I have asked several crack athletes to test my instrument, and they all say that it.helps them considerably. 1 I noice that most aviators fly with their mouth open, because the great rush of air makes it difficult for them to breathe through their nose. There is nothing more harmful or tiring than breathirfg through the mouth, a.nd I think they might do well to wear my iwotrument and so be able to breathe through the nose without difficult.

Good News for Barry 150 ACRES FOR STEELWORKS I Capital of Nearly Two Millions I I A few daYfI ago we were enabled to I announce the fact that two ertcrprining schemes were on foot for the establishment cf new indtltrial oo-ncerns at Barry. We are now in a position to state that the principal of the two schemes is the establishment of steel and iron works on land about 10J acree in extent, belonging to Lard Ash by St. Ledger (formerly the Eon. Ivor Guest), at Suny. within convenient proximity to the Barry No. 2 Dock. This concern will have a capital of one and a half million sterling, and will probably employ about 500 men. The chief r-romoters of the Barry Steel and Iron Company are London gentlemen, the chairman being Mr. Mills, of the firm of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co., the well-known London bankers, and the secretary is Mr. Drundrett. It was in oonnection with this company that an application was considered by the Cardiff Waterworks Committee last Monday I for a supply of 100,000 gallon6 of water per day for the proposed works at Sully, but, inasmuch as this portion of the Parish of Sully is within the Barry Council area, con- sideration of the application was deferred. The promoters of the other concern have taken thirty acres of land in the eame locality, with the option of a further twenty acres. These works will be for the manufac- ture of steel rails, and the company will have a oapital of half a million sterling. ¡

"Gamblein Human Life" Two cases against the Bristol and West of England Rovial Á,ntidel uvia.n Order of Buffaloes Irs-umamee Society were he-a-rd at Newport County-court to-day. In the finèt. William Kenrv Aiidreew-u,, licensee of the Moulders' Arms, Newport, sued for the return of .i.2, which he had paid to the superintendent, J. Wall, a..s a deposit for the inwinsvnoe of the life of a Mr. Leonard. Mr. John Moxon, who a.pi>ea,red lor the plaintiff, i-a-id he wiM told tha.t the super- irufcanident had bolted, and left the country, without accounting to the society ak, BrisfcoL The society was not legally represented but the secretary attended from Bristol, and said the society had not reekivtvl the deposit from Wall, the superintendent at Newport, and had not issued a policy. In fait, they knew nothing about it, and, he contended, this was a gamble in human life, because the plaintiff had no interest in the life of Mr. Leonard. His Honour: But you have not pleaded the I statute which makes it illegal. ILr. Moxon: We have full aasurable in terest. His Honour (to the secretary): I think you have been very ill-advised in d«fenu!ng this action at alL Judgment against the society for 12. In the second case, that of Annie Harris v. the society, a. claim for E6 56. was made, under a policy issued by the company. It was stated that the atseured person died on June 2&-ftve months and two days after the assurance was effected. The medical certificate stated that the duration of illness ,w,a-s five months. The seorertjairy of the society said the man must have been ill when he signed the declamation that he was in a good state of heaJth. His Honour remarked that there wae no evidenioe of that. "Tbi is not th-e wa.y for a friendly society cr an individual to treat, ite liabilities." he observed, and I am not at all favourably impressed wit.h the two oaees I b:J,ve heard. I give judgment for the amount claimed."

"CUT GRASS AND MADE HAY" His Honour Judge Hill Kelly was asked at I Newport County-oo^irt to-day by Mr. Lyndon Moore, in the case of Fry v. Tovey, to grant an in junction against Mr. and Mrs. Jiames Tovey, of Farm wood, from trespassing on certain fields at Chrigwnurc- Mr. Albert Parsons (instructed by Mr. Frank Lewis) appeared for the defendants to resist the injunction. Tbe male defendant, James Tovey (who up to recently was a guardian of the Newport Onion), who was originally the tenant of the fields from the vicar oi Chriettchurch had, Mr. Moore explained, become a bankrupt, and in July the trustee sent a. deel aimer to the vicar, who thereupon let the land to Mr. Fry. A few days afterwards, however, Mr. and Mrs. Tovey and a number of other persons entered upon the land, cut the gra<S6, made ba.v, and did othr acts of tT'e6, under & claim that the i?md h?d been sub-let by )(r'l Jamas Tovey to his son, Mr. Wilfrid Tovey, who now abroad. and for whom Mrs. To?ey. his mother, ww acting a? ?&nt. Mr. Moore oontended that the claim of wh- tenancy was exte:y MLspioicu?. tbe intention beuw 'to x d#eat the IighUJ of the ta?MHord and interfere wth the aotiou of anyone the vicar may put in. jjr, Padasons submitted that the subtenancy to Mr. Tovcy's son wa* valid, and under it Mm.
