CAU AFTER STOBI I Pickets' Complaint I I MINERS BLAME THE POLICE | C!V!UANS & CONSTABLES I CIV!LIANS & CONSTABLES Mid-Rhondda wore a perfect air of calm this morning after the furious fighting of last night. In the neighbourhood of Tony- pandy Station, where much of the rioting took pla,ce, there was hardly a striker to be seen between the honre of saven and ten I o'clock to-day. I' Police-officers patrolled the Rtreets j n couples, and occasionally in larger detach- ments up to a dozen or fifteen. I The Riot Described I A railway official, who witnessed last night's grim work, stated that, it was simply terrible. Stones were thrown in shoals at I the police, who responded with headlong baton charges upon the crowd, the latter scattering in all directions every time the powerful police-constables were seen bear- ing down upon them. Occasionallj*, a policeman wae seen to be knocked over by a stont", but the rioters suffered far more severely, and frequently they were to be seen stretched out in the roadway as the result of blows from batons. Who Started It P MINERS BLAME THE POLICE Our reporter to-day engaged in an interest- ing conversation with Mr. G. Burton, one of the members of the Cambrian Combine Workmen's Committee. When our represen- tative stated his duty to Mr. Burton, the latter turned sharply upon him, and asserted that the press reports were largely respon- sible for inciting the strikers to acts cf violence. I Our reporter informed Mr. Burton that it was the duty of pressmen to describe events as they saw them, and then asked Mr. Burton I if he had seen anything of last night's rioting, and Mr. Burton replied:- "I certainly did. a.nd I say at once that, as far as Tonypandy is concerned, the police are wholly responsible for the outbreak. They formed up in line by Ebeneser Chapel, and I began to abuse and ill-treat the people in the streets. I Remarkable Allegation I "I saw one incident which illustrates very forcibly the action of the police towards residents of this district. This is an absolute fat, and you can state it as coming from I me. Whilet a detachment of police were i marching along, I saw one of them lift his foot and kick a little girl. aged fourteen, into the gutter. My wife was with me at the time. I sent my wife home, and waited about I in doorways to see what was going on. "The police behaved brutally over and over again." "Is there a prospect of further disturb- ance?" "I hope not," replied Mr. Burton, "but I am afraid the men are in a very ugly temper, indeed. Apparently, an order was given last night that all the pickets were to be cleared off their ground within hall-a- mile of the Glamorgan Colliery premises. This. I claim, is a direct violation of the law in relation to picketing." Our reporter proceeded to questi.on Mr. Burton with regard to the sensational reso- lution of the strikers at yesterday's meeting in Llwynypia Baths, and he asked Mr. Burton whether be could state any justifica- tion for such a course of action. I 1 horoughly Justified -? 1 1 ? "Yes," replied Mr. Burton. "1 claim tuaixue action is thoroughly justified. We say that in stopping the food supplies of the mihtary and police we are acting within the law in regard to picketing. These military and police are here to assist the Cambrian Com- bine. and not to assist us, and, therefore, we assert emphatically that our action is certainly justified." Mr. Burton informed our reporter that the workmen's committee and the responsible leadei-.i were doing all they could to induce the strikers to ceaRe from committing acts of violence. INNOCENT MAN INJURED How perfectly innocent people are lia.ble to suffer in the rioting is illustrated by the case of a highly respectable young man, named John Coker, a plumber, in the employ of Mr. Eli Setler (Tonypandy^. Coker is the son of the schoolmaster at Manorbier. near Tenby, and when seen by our reporter to-day was smartly dressed, but his head was heavily swathed in bandages. This is his own story: "I arrived from Cardiff at Tonypandy by the 10.20 train last night, and was quite unconscious of anything having happened in the neighbourhood in the nature of rioting whilst I had been away. When I got outside the station there were a gteat many police and civilians about. "I stopped for a moment to look round, and two policemen at once advanced to me with their truncheons in their hands. One asked, 'What do you want here?' I replied, 'I don't want anything. I have just come in by train from Cardiff.' Then one of the police retorted, 'Be off with you!' I turned to go. and instantly I received two severe truncheon blows on the head which knocked me to the ground unconscious. 'I was afterwards taken home by train. The blood ran all down my clothes and body, and. although this morning I feel a bit dazed, I am fairly 11" I I am fa,lT y we Picket's Complaint SAYS THE POLICE STARTED THE ROW One of the strike pickets was vehement in his condemnation of the police. "It was they who started it," said he, "and we know the reason why. "The Combine were expacting blacklegs up by the train last night, and th&t is why the police were given instructions to keep us at bay. "Thev beean by raking out the fires which the pickets had lighted, and throwing the red- hot coals into the river They were bent upon doing mischief last night, and some of them had to suffer in consequence. "We don't want to attack the police, but we will defend ourselves. Some of the police behaved most brutally and I will give you an instance of this. Town Crier Injured "Old William Evans, the crier, went out to look for his littJe boy in the midst of the riot, and was badly bludgeoned by a con- ,? Etab?e. He wa? aœlsted to his homo with his head cut open. "I am bold there were also caees of quite little boys being struck by the police In their raad fury. "The police are lucky that they didn't receive a severe hiding, because, making II allowance for our superior forces, we ought to have had the best of the battle. The Old Story "However, I suppose it M the old story of undiBoiptiaed force giving way before disci- plined force, because I often noticed a crowd of two or three hundred give ground and run when the saw less than half a dozen constables coming at them with their batons." To Cut Off Supplies STRIKERS SENSATIONAL RESOLVE 1 It is believed that an explanation of last night's outbreak is to be found in an extra- ordinary meeting of the strikers held at I Llwynypia Baths yesterday afternoon, at which a sensational resolution was passed. This resolution was that the strikers should make determined efforts to cut off the food supplies of the police and military. It was decided that determined efforts I should he made to stop the importation of the commissariat supplies from Cardiff as they were brought in to Tonypandy and Llwynypia by the employes of Messrs. Stevens (Limited). A communication stating the resolution of the strikers was ordered to be despatched last night by the secretary to the manager of Messrs. Stevens. IBLAENANT WANT A BALLOTI A mass meeting of the men engaged at the Bisenant Colliery, Abernant, was held to-day for the purpose of considering the question of returning to work. The proceedings lasted several hours, and it was eventually decided to select a deputation of six workmen to wait upon the men employed at the Cwmaman, Bwllfa, and Cwmdare Pits, with a view to trying to induce thpm to resort to a ballot as to whether they should ail return to work forthwith. We understand that if the ballot takes place the reeult will be submitted to the unofficial conference which takes place at Cardiff next Tuesday.

Mabon & Mr. Watts Morgan VISfT BOARD OF TRADE TO-DAY The interview of Mabon and Mr. D. Watt", Morgan with Mr. Askwith at the Board of Trade this afternoon is regarded as very important in character. It is likely to last for several hours, and no report of the pro- ceedings is likely to be issued until six cr lieven o'clock this evening.

Sequel to a Wreck j I CARDIFF FIREMAN'S CLAIM FOR WAGES An i-irtei-estirig point was raised in a case j at the London Guildhall Police-court on Mon. day in which Mr. George Percy Jones, ship- owner, of Bury-st-reet, St. Slary Axe and South Shields, appeared to answer a sum- IDOlla under the Merchant Shipping Act at the instance of a fireman named Donald Smith, of Cardiff, for wages amounting to £ 12, and 5s. per day up to the time of final Bett.lemenL Mr. Botterell, for the defence. disputed the claim. a.nd said the whole qUet;- tiou was whether the vessel on which the plaintiff wat; engaged was a wreck or not. The Alderman: Where is the ship now?— Mr. Botterell: She is stranded at Kurrachee. My case will be that it is a total wreck. Th» plaintiff in the course of his evidence said when within 25 miles oî Kurrachee the ship was ftranded on the rocks. For about a. month be was kept by the ship, and wa.s ultimately ordered on shore by the cap- tain, six others also being directed to leave. The captain wished to pay them off there and then. but they objected. and went to the shipping office. The Clerk: Were your wages offered up to that date?—Yee, but I refused, and so did the others. I came home in the steamship England, and when I aiTived was paid wages up to September 9. By Mr. Alexander Smith (for plaintiff): Before he left the ship at Kurraehee the vessel had got a move on her. He could not say how far she moved. Cross-examined: Do you know that the owners received a cable that the vessel was in a. worse position each tide? No. There was very little water at high tide?— That is so. So that there was a heavy ground swell running?—Yes. She was broadside on to the beach. She was leaking a little. She parted from her moorings three times. Do you know how far it was off the nearest place you could get fresh water or provi- eions?-About eighteen miles. Why did you refuse your wages at Kur- raehee?—Well, I know better than to take them. When did you get. that idea into your head?—I knew the ship was not a total loss. Mr. Botterell (in answer to the magistrate): The ship is now in Bombay, as a matter of fact, in the hands of the underwriters. Sir Horatio Davies: Supposing the ship is not a total loss, then, I suppose, the men are entitled to their wagee? ■ Mr. Botterell: She might be a constructive total loss, which is just the same thing within the meaning of the Act. The ques- tion is: Is she a wreck? The Alderman: That is the point I want to bear about. Is she a "wreck"? Mr. A. Smith: The proof of the ownership ie on Mr. Jones. Another fireman, George Piteon, of Hull, gave corroborative evidenoe. Mr. Smith: I submit that the defendant was not satisfied that the ship was a, total wreck. We hear she has gone to Bomba' 'I and that does not suggest a total wreck. Defendant gave evidence, and said when he heard of the news he sent notice of aban- donment to the underwriters. They had had advice from persons who knew the coast that she was on very dangerous sands and liable to break her back. The underwriters were now dealing with the vessel. Cross-examined: The captain was acting under the instructions of the underwriters. Is he still in your service?—Yes, but the underwriters pay him. What are they doing with the vessel at Bombay ?—Overhauling her. I When she is ready to go to sea again, do I you intend sending her on another voyager -If she can be put right. The Alderman: Is it your intention to give up the ship ?-oh, no. The Alderman: I think this mat.ter is of 00 much importance, both to the owners and the men, that I shall adjourn it. I am sorry you should be put to the expense, but I do I not think I could deal with it now. The case was accordingly adjourned.

Boy & His Step-mother l REMARKABLE CHANCERY ACTION I The remarkable action brought by Dougla* Gordon Macrae, a person of unsound mind, against his stepmother, Mrs. Florence Lucy Frederica Harness, calling on her to render an account of money from the late Mr. Macrae's estate which it was contended should have been spent on his maintenance and education, was continued in the Chan- cery Division on Monday, when Dr. Steven- son, of Farnborough, Kent, under whoee care plaintiff was placed, resumed bis evidence. Dr. Stevenson said in plaintiff's state it would have been very improper to have given such drugs as hyoscin or chloral. The knowledge that he had a large sum of money and his inability to handle it seemed to have caused him irritation. Witness received t six guineas a week and gave the boy a good home and proper medical attention. Had I further funds been forthcoming the boy would have had an educated man and a gentleman to look after him. After the incident of the boy running I away and going to a cricket match at the Oval. he understood that Mr. Harness wanted him certified again, but he did not consider in whose interest he might have I entertained that desire. DISCHARGED AS SANE. I I irr. corner, mental specialist, of .New Southgate, :n whose charge plaintiff was placed in 1903, said he was told the boy had previously been under Mr. Harness's own cltre, and that zP,1,200 a year had been spent on him. It was consequently necessary to keep expenses down. Witness received Lt first six guineas a week, and later five guineas a week, and eventually discharged plaintiff a3 sane. Dr. Bryan, mental specialist, stated that in 1907. by order of the Master in Lunacy, the boy was delivered into witness's custody, and had remained with him since. He found chloral had been largely administered. If the drugs had been continued he thought the boy would have been dead by this time. There was now a probable chance of the boy I recovering. For the defence, counsel said the charge I that Mrs. Harness had deliberately stinted the boy was absolutely without foundation. The hearing was adjourned. L

PROGRESS OF EDUCATION I A new infants' council school was opened, at Pontllanfraith on Monday by the Rev. A. Barrett (chairman of the group managers), under the auspices of the Monmouthshire Education Committee. A large crowd gathered to see the Rev. A. Barrett open the I door at the main entrance. lie was presented with a key on tbehalf of the builders by Mr. C. Dauncey, secretary of the county educa- tion committee. Alderman George Jones (chairman of the county sites and buildings committee) presided, and was supported by members of the county education committee and the group managers. The Chairman referred to the rapid develop- ment of the valley, calling urgently for addi- tional school accommodation. The council were endeavouring to meet the needs of the valley, but still there was a call for more. County Councillor Moses Walters gave a resume of the progress of education in the distriot. Addresses were also given by Mr. C. Dauncey (secretary to the county education committee), the Rev. E. Lewis, and Messrs. B. Stacey, T. G. James, and D. W. Price. The cost of the school was X3.5W, and it will accommodate 260 scholars. It is built of local dressed stone, with Bath stone facings. The building comprises a large central hall, five class-rooms, teachers' rooms, cloak- rooms, lavatories, &c. The builder was Mr. John Charles, Newport, and the architect Mr. I John Bain, F.R.I.B.A.

? LORDS' REFORM 1 I LORD LANSDOWNE'S PROPOSALS. i | Lord Lansdowne sprang a surprise on the House of Lords last night during the debate on the Veto Eill. L moved the adjournment of the debate until to-morrow, in order that be misrtat move a momentous resolution on the ques- tion of "dead-locks" between the two Houses. His resolution includes provisions for joint sessions of the two Houses, a referendum, and for the renunciation of the Lords' right to amend or reject pure money Bills. The effect of Lord Lansdowne's action is that on Wiidnesday bis resolution will be discussed, and not the motion for the second reading of the Pa,riia.ment Bill. The Govern- ment proposals are by this means shelved so i far as the House of Lords in the present! session a.re concerned. Mr. Chnmberlain and Home Rule I Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in a letter to the chairman of the West Birmingham Unionist Association, declares in favour of the reten- tion of a. Second Chamber, and contends that the House of Lord-; has more than justified I its existence as a Second Chamber by reject- I ing Home Rule and other Radical legislation I which was unpopular with the country. I Osborne Judgment I The Premier yesterday met Mr. George Osborne and other members of the Trades I Union Political Freedom League on the sub- ject of the Osborne judgment. The mainten- ance of the principle of the judgment was I urged as necessary to relieve Trades Unionists I from Socialist tyranny. Women's Suffrage In the event of the Premier's statement with regard to woman's suffrage in the HouSe of Commons to-day being regarded as unsatisfactory a repetition of Friday's scenes may be looked for, as the suffragettes intend to wait at Caxton-hall, their usual "jumping off" position, for the news from the Commons. Commons' Short Sitting The Commons sat for barely three hours yesterday, meeting at a, quarter to three and finishing the whole of the business for the day at twenty minutes to six. A slashing attack was made on the Government by Mr. Austen Chamberlain for precipitating the general election on a stale register and on the eve of Christmas. The Government, Mr. Lloyd George told the -use in reply, were only attempting to take the opinion of the country on a ques- tion which was vital to the Liberal party. namely, what treatment their measures should receive. By 7.15 against 98 the House passed the motion to take the Budget through ite remaining stages in three days. The Supplementary Estimate for £ 500,000 for old-age pensions passed through Com- mittee, -and the Appropriation Bill was brought in and read a first time. Mr Lloyd George at Mile-End Mr. Lloyd George addressed a crowded meeting in support of the Liberal campaign in Tower Hamlets at the Paragon Music-hall, Mile End, last night. Remarkable scenes were witnessed outside the hall long before the doors were opened, and thousands had to be turned away. The Chancellor of the Exche- quer, whom Mr. B. S. Straus, M.P., the chair- man. introduced as "One of the greatest statesmen the country had ever Been," received an uproarious welcome. Two Opinions I The "Dublin Daily Express" eays:-Lord Lansdowne's proposals show that the Unionists are not disposed to meet the Government demands with a blank negative. The "Freeman's Journal" says: If Lord Lans- downe had his way every Liberal measure unpalatable to the gHded chamber would have to go to the referendum. CARNARVON BOROUGHS I Conservatives Not to Contest Seat I The "Gwalia," published late last night at Bangor, says:—"We understand on going to press that the Conservatives will not contest the Carnarvon Boroughs, and that Mr. Lloyd George will have a walk-over." "Clyde Fogs" I The Duke of Argyll has forwarded the fol- lowing letter apologising for his inability to attend the Upioniet meeting to be addressed by Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Austen Cham- berlain in Glasgow on Friday:— I am sorry not to be ab4e to repeat the visit of ten daii; ago. I am sure Lord Lansdowne's meeting in favour of too Union which has made both Glasgow and Belfast will olear away any Clyde fogs on the sub- ject. No American state or Oanadian pro- I vince allows racial division, American or Cana.dian party has gone back on preference and defence of trade. Let us ail advance for Union and trade.-ARGYIL.

Drink Tragedy I ) MARINE FIREMAN EXECUTED I Henry Thompson (54), a marine fireman. I was executed to-day at Liverpool for the mm"der of his wife. Ellie wae the hangman, and the execution was carried out expeditiously at nine o'clock. Notwithstanding the cold and the fog, which hid everything, a large crowd waited outside tho prison to hear the bell tolled. The crime wat a. sordid drink tragedy, and the woman was strangled in the bedroom. "'Not Afraid of Death I Efforts to secnre a reprieve on the grounds that prisoner was subject to epileptic fits, were made by the Liverpool Society for the Abolition of Capital Punishment, but they proved abortive. It will be recollected that Thompson behaved in a moet callous manner at his trial, and when asked by the clerk of assize as to whether he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, said in a loud voice, "No; go on with it. I don't care; I am not frightened of death." While the judge was about to pass sen- tence the silence of the court was again broken by prisoner exclaiming, "I am not guilty, my lord, and you can sentence aw-ay I now. Quite Resigned I Yesterday afternoon Miss Annie Burrows. I hon. secretary of the Liverpool So, cie?;owtz the Abolition of Capital Punishment, bad" • together with some relatives of the con- j demneu man, an interview at Walton Gaol I with Thompson. On return to town it was reported that Thompson was very cheerful, and quite resigned. He said that he had been very miserable with his wife for some time. He felt quite sure that he would not be any more miserable when he went into another world. The one he had experienced was bad enough for him. He thanked Miss Burrows and all those Who had takeri an interest in his case, especially for their endeavours to get him a reprieve. So long as he could live Miss Burrows would I never go from his mind. I

I BUTCHER AND WIFE. ( William Herbert Eason, master butcher, II Dowlais, was summoned at Mprthyr to-day by his wife Catherine, for persistent cruelty. Mr. F. P. Charles represented complainant, and Mr. D. W. Jones defended. At the out- set the Stipendiary suggested a settlement, and the solicitors had a conference, but failed I to bring the parties together. Complainant enumera,ted various acts of cruelty by the defendant, who had (she alleged) neglected I his business through drink, and she men- tioned one occasion on which he held a pole- axe over her bead. An order of 25s. a week was made. Defendant: When do I begin? The Clerk: A week to-day. Defendant (sneeringly): I will tell you when I finish, j

BOOKMAKER'S "DOUBLE." j William Lancelot Evans, a bookmaker's clerk, in the employ of Tr Evan Williams, commission agent and financier, of Neath, was summoned at Neath to-day and fined C5 and costs and £ 2 and costs in reslw,t to two charges of street betting in Wicdsor-road on Thursday and Friday last. The sum of two guineas wa.s allowed "the prosecution as 'the prosee 6 ardi W advocate's fee. Mr. F. Gaskell, of Cardiff, appeared for the defendant. Friday's charge was gone into first, and, the Magistrates having found him guilty, defendant on the second charge pleaded guilty. Among the entries in a book found was "Trevor, 5s. 3d." and Mr. Trevor Hunter, who prosecuted, asked Mr. Frank Gaskell, the defending barrister, if he would see he got the money. (Laughter.)

Big Aberdare Fil'te I -0. BLAZE AT REAR OF HOTEL BLAZE AT REAR OF HOTEL A serious fire broke out at the rear of the Eagle Hotel, Aberdare, ea.rly this morning. Up to the present only meagre particulars a.re available, but it is clear that the con- flagration quickly spread itself into the stables of Mr. Sanders, cab proprietor, which are situated next door to the hotel, and also to the back premises of Mr. Thomas Lloyd, grceer. Inspector Nott was among the first present, and he and his men did admirable work in controlling the crowd which quickly- gathered. Captain Davies, of the fire brigade, was also soon present, and the fire was subdued in about an hour. The only damage to the Eagle Hotel was done to the "long room," which was Once the head- quarters of the football club, and an esti- mate of the loss there is about LSOO, but all is covered by insurance, Every effort wa? made to remove theborses and a cow from the stables of Jffr. Sanders, fortunately with success. The cow was allowed to roam in the excitement, but it unconcernedly strolled back when all was over. Mr. Lloyd's premises suffered severely at the rear, and the damage is estimated ut about £ 700.

Payment of Members I I MEETING OF THE CABINET I The Cabinet met at 10, Downing-street, at 11.30 this morning. The interest attaching to the meeting lies in the fact that it is probably the last, or nearly the last, before the dissolution. A meeting of the Cabinet was held at 10, Downing-street at half-past eleven this morn- ing, the Prime Minister presiding over a full attendance of Ministers, with the exception of Mr. McKenna. who has not yet completely recovered from his illness. The Central News understands the Cabinet was chiefly occupied in considering the atti- tude to be adopted in regard to the payment of members in connection with which sub- ject deputations have lately been received by the Premier.

FAMOUS VIOLINIST'S ACTION Kubelik. the violinist, appeared in public without, his violin yesterday. The scene was Mr. Justice Channell's Court. He sued Mr. Alfred McCrea. a. concert agent, for £ 256 in respect of certain concerts at which be per- formed in the Autumn of 1908. He did not return from America, however, in time to take part in the first of the series of concerts said to have been arranged with Mr. McCrea. For this alleged failure there was a counter- claim. The case was ultimately settled on the basis that the plaintiff should receive £150.

MISS ELKINS IN ITALY Mine, and Misa Elkins have been at Lugano for some days. I am assured that the latter is at present engaged in those duties necessary to her eventual reception in the Roman Catholic Church, writes the Como correspondent of the "Standard." According to information from a good source. Miss Elkins has already visited the Bishop of Lugano, Mgr. Peri-Morosini.

CARDIFF FI RM'S APPEAL To-day the full Court of Appeal delivered judgment on the appeal of Messrs. Spillers and Bakers (Limited), millers, of Bristol and Cardiff, against a decision of the Railway and Canal Commission, holding in an abitra- tion between that firm and the Great Western Railway Company, that they were entitled to a rebate where their merchandise was carried in their own tracks, but not so when the railway company was ready and willing to provide suitable trucks. The appel- lants contended that they were entitled to the rebate in every instance where they used their own private trucks. The court unanimously dismissed the appeal. and suggested that the order of the Railway Com- missioners should be varied in this way: That the railway company were bound to provide all reasonable facilities to convey the t.rad ers goods in covered vans or other suitable vehicles, the traders to be at liberty to use their own trucks if a suitable number was not from time to time provided by the railway company, and further that sheeted trucks should be deeemed to be suitable trucks.

LORD NINIAN'S RETURN I We understand that Lord Ninian Stuart is due to arrive in Cardiff to-day, but no official welcome has been arranged, as has been I reported.

OFFERS OF X90,000 IN LOANS I A Glasgow message says that offers of loans, aggregating to E90,000, have been sent to the Boilermakers' Society from Trade Unions alone, and aa much again oa.n be borrowed from other sources if necessary. This is expected to have a. strong influence upon the employers.

TRAMWAY CAR AMOK An exciting tramway-car accident yester- day in Nottingham. One cf the electric cars was descending the steep gradient of Derby- road, when, owing to the frost on the rails, the brakes refused to grit., and the car I skidded down the hill at an ever-increasing speed. A few hundred yards ahead was an- other car, and, seeing the runaway car, and, seeing the runaway car approaching, the driver started his vehicle with the object of keeping in front. The front car, however, was quickly overtaken, and half of the second car was telescoped, the stairway was torn away, and the steel framework twisted into all manner of shapes. Luckily there were only two passengers on the run- away car. and, although one (a young lady) was removed to the hospital she was not detained,

CARDIFF BVE-ELECTIONS 1 Polling is taking place to-day in three Car- diff wards-Park, Roath, and Splott-to fill vacancies caused by the Aldermanic appoint- ments on November 7. In the Park Ward there are two candidates. Mr. J. B. Ferrier. J.P., and Mr. W. H. Pethybridge, the same number asking for the voters' suffrages in the Roath Ward, viz., Mr. Jabea Jones and Mr. W. Roberts. At Splott there arc four in the field, Mr. G. F. Willett is there making a fifth appeal. and the other candidates are Messrs. Tudor Rees, A. J. Atwell, and J. Griffiths.

TRAMCARS COLLIDE I During the dense fog this morning two tra.mca.rs collided on a single line at Garston, Liverpool. The impact was very severe, one Car mounting the other. Both drivers were injured, one being removed to hospital, while the other required medical treatment. Several passengers also sustained injuries, one being pinned beneath the wreckage. He was removed to hospital.

COSTING £ 50 A WEEK. I At the meeting of the Llanelly Harbour Trust on Monday. Mr. J. Williams pre- siding, the Clerk (Mr. H. W. Spowart), report- ing upon the position of the Llanelly Har- bour Bill, said he had appeared before the Standing Ordere Committee, who had sent it for second reading to the Commons. It was necessary to urge upon the officials to dis- perse with the standing orders, which they had agreed to do. He had since received a letter from Mr. Rbys Roberts (Parliamentary agent) stating that the Committee stage of the Bill would be taken on Tuesday, and that it was hoped to get the Bill through before the end of the week. The fact that the ratepayers would be penalised to the extent of LM a week until the Bill was passed appealed to the officials of the House very much, and, although very busy owing to the approaching dissolution, they had given every assistance with the view of expediting matters. By the end of the week he hoped to be able to report that Llanelly had succeeded in getting passed one of the best and cheapest Bills they had ever had. The Bill was not opposed, and it had not, therefore, been necessary to engage counsel. TRIBUTE TO DEPARTED MEMBER. A vote of condolence was passed with the family of the late Mr. W. H. Ludford. who was an official in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, and had been a, member of the harbour commission and trust for many years. In moving the vote the Chairman (Mr. Joseph Williams) paid a high tribute to the deceased. Through his death, he said, the trust had lost a good man, and the town was the poorer thereby.

To-Day's Finance CARDIFF. Tuesday, 1.0 p.m. The local Stock Market this morning was again extremely quiet in all directions. The news of further rioting in the Rhondda had a bad effect. making business quieter than ever. Rails were unchanged. Colliery Shares weak, and other department* practically idle.

A Shirt or Two" BURGLARS AT PAWNBROKERS Two men were busily engaged in burg- larious work in Portmanmoor-road, Splot- lands, early this morning. and the shop ¡ windows of two pawnbrokers were smashed. About 3 a.m. Mr. Davies. manager of Mr. Shibko's lock-up shop, was aroused by a constable, who informed him that the Port- manmoor-road premises had been forcibly entered. On inspection it was found that the glass panel of the front door had been smashed and sufficient of it removed clean away from the socket to enable a man to get inside. A large quantity of clothing had been pulled off the shelves and strewn about the floor behind the counters, but Mr. Davies has not yet been able to ascertain whether anything hae been removed, other than a shirt or two. About the same time the lock-up premises of Mr. Emanuel Green, in the same road, were also tampered with, the big plate glass window abutting Aberdovey-street being smashed, and a few shirts stolen off the window shelves. It appears that Mrs. Wills, who lives on the opposite corner of the street, heard some suspicious noises and the smash- ing of glass, about 2 a.m., and, looking throught the bedroom window, she distictly saw two men standing by Mr. Green,s shop. She tapped the window and the men rushed away.

TRADE UNION LAW Copies of the Bill presented by Mr. em, shay Williams, and supported by Messrs. Allen Baker, Harold Baker, Greenwood, Hindle, Horne, and Lees-Smith, to amend the law relating to Trade Unions, are issued to- day. It provides that a Trade Union may apply its funds for or towards the purpose of maintaining members of Parliament and other public bodies provided that on giving notice in writing to the general secretary of his Trade Union before January 21 in any year a member shall be entitled to receive a refund of that part of his subscriptions for I the previous year which can be shown to have been used for purely political purposes.

ROYAL SHOOTING PARTY I There was a Royal shooting party over the I coverts in Windsor Park to-day. The sports- men left Windsor Caetle shortly after ten,, a,nd motored into the forest. In the first car was King George, the Duke of Teck. Prince Arthur of Connaught, and Prince Alexander of Teck. Shooting opened at Bears' Rails, and worked across the playing field. The weather was bright and cold. Game was plentiful.

SHIPPING TROUBLES. MF-MORIAL TO GENOA PORT AUTHORITY. The British Chamber of Commerce for Italy has just sent a memorial to the port authority of Gtmoa. relative to the state of things at that port, which are becoming most difficult and causing considerable loss of trade by merchandise being diverted to other ports. One of the great troubles is that the agent of steamships carrying genera 1 oareo to Genoa. is responsible to the receivers for iOafe delivery, and this general cargo is nearly always of great value. A law has now been made by which the stevedores and barge-owners are no longer at liberty to pick their labourers, and any men required by the agent or contractor, in addition to a, small nucleus s<?uad, must be taken in rotation from the men inscribed ou the rolls of the port authority. Thus good and bad have equal chances, all incentive zeal is abolished, and numerous abuses mentioned in the memorial have taken place. The agents are held legally responsible for shortage of roods, whilst the istevedoree and barge con- tractors declare that unless they are allowed to choose their own labourers they cannot answer for losses and the pilferagee. Another trouble much complained of is the excessive rate that has to be paid if a steamer is forced to work between eight p.m. on Sunday and six a.m. on Monday.

DEAD IN ENGINE-HOUSE. HITCHER'S DISCOVERY INPENTRE PIT. An inquest was held at Pentre. Rhondda, on Mouday touching the death of William Perry (63j. a winding engirieman at the Pentre Colliery, who was found dead at the levere in the engine-house last Wednesday niglit. Deceased had sent a bond down con- taining timber, and as he failed to respond to a, signal, the hitcher at the top of the pit proceeded to the engine-house and found that he was dead. Death was attributed to heart failure, and a verdict accordingly was returned. KILLED AT A LEVEL CROSSING, j Philip Pole (69) labourer .lodging at No. 4, St. Barrwg's-terrace. Bed wae, was acci- dentally killed on Monday on the Brecon and Merthyr Railway at a level crossing between Bedwas and Maesycwmmer.

THE POSITION AT WARWICK. The Stewards held a further meeting at noon to discuss the situation and endeavour to arrive at a decision with regard to the third day's programme, in the event of rac- ing being practicable to-morrow. The fog cleared during the conference, but frost con- tinued, and, in postponing to-day's pro- gramme until to-morruw they decided to abandon the third day's card. The acting stewards were Messrs. Basil Han bury, W. Murland, and Ohas. Green. In arriving at the decision to abandon the meeting to-morrow morning should the ele- ments then be adverse to racing, the Stewards undoubtedly adopted a wise course, in which they have the support of precedent. During the forenoon the wind shifted to a colder quarter, and the prospects ni racing heing practicable to-morrow are very discouraging. A number of horses were sent on to Man- chester from Warwick this morning owing to the apparently hopeless character of the situation in the Midlands.

EVIDENCE IN WELSH i In the Chancery Division on Monday (before Mr. Justice Joyce) the hearing of the case of Evans Y. Rees was continued. It was an action by Mr. William Lewis Evans, of Cae Shop. Gwaun-cae-Gurwen, against Mrs. Hannah Rees, of Colwell House, Garnant, Carmarthenshire, for the specific performance of a contract for the purchase by the plaintiff of the Cash Stores and two houses. The defence was that certain conditions under which defendant agreed to sell had not been oomplied with by plaintiff. Mr. Hughes, K.C., and Mr. Owen Thompson appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Oozens-Hardy represented defendant. Mr. John Rees, husband of the defendant, who gave his evidence in Welsh, an inter- preter being employed, said he was a retired farmer, having ceased that business four years ago. Between April and the autumn c? 1909 repairs were done to the Cash Stores and houses under the contract by a Mr. Edwards. Witness produced Mr. Edwards's reoeipt. and said he paid the money to Mr. Edwards for his wife. He remembered an interview in his house in the kitchen between the two Evan?ea, his wife, and himself about selling the houses. Mrs. ReM said a t Ct, was in force for the repair of the houses, and she had already paid money to Edwards for work done. having paid him £ 42, and Mrs. Reea said they should not have the houses under JB875. They were told to consider Edwards's contract with that. They said they would do their best with Mr. Edwards. They agreed to the sale without any ques- ¡ tion as to Edwards's contract being with them. I Johnny" Evans drew out the receipt for j the deposit. A cheque was given for L30. His wife afterwards received a letter from I Edwards threatening to saddle her with the contract for work. Mr. Edwards came to the house with the Evanses, and tho latter said they would try to settle. Later the Evanses said they had settled with Edwards ior 1131. Mr. Thomas Edwards, builder, said the Messrs. Evans told him they had purchased the stores and houses, and that they had a contract with Mis. Rees to pay him the amount she owed him. I The hearing was again adjourned j

The Marriage Bond I The sittings of the Royal Commission ori divorce were resumed to-day at Winchester House, St. James's-square, Lord Gorell pre- siding ProfeEsor Dennv, professor of New Testa- ment Theology in the United Free College of Glasgow, dealt with the subject of divorce in relation to Scripture and in the law and practice of the Christian Church. The Old Testament, he said, had a law of divorce custom that allowed only the man to divorce his wife, and the intention of the law was to check arbitrary action on the part of the husband and to supply the divorced wife with evidence that she was in a position legally to marry again. While the New Tee. tament declared that marriage ought to be permanent, and implied that nothing iu legislation should tend to impair its sanctity, it gave no express guidance to the legislator for dealing with cases in which the Divine ideal has been frustrated, although it did not preclude divorce as a legislative remedy in any given case. CELIBACY V MARRIAGE. The Church of the first centuries hostile to divorce. Celibacy was regarded as a higher moral state than marriage. The Greek Church adopted and retained tbe view that misconduct dissolved the marriage relation, and that it was lawful for a person who had obtained divorce for misconduct to marry again. In the Latin Church the view which came to prevail was that the marriage bond wa.!I indissoluble and divorce impossible. Tie Protestant Churches agreed in holding that, while marriage was not dissoluble by mutual consent, there were cases in which divorce, followed by a new marriage, was lawful. The Reformed Churches had always asserted the Christian ideal that marriage should be a lifelong mion, permanent and pure, which nothing in the law should tend to disparage. Offence against the law of marriage should, perhaps, be punished, but not by sentences of celibacy. Witness thought it was possible to distin- guish
