Our Note Book1 &- An Open air Swimming Bath for Morriston.—A Silly Socialist Slander on the Morriston Ward.—A Hint to Sweet Pea Lovers.-The 1 National Drink Bill. • Th I The Parks Superintendent, despite the unsatisfactory weather, has the preliminary work well in hand for the provision of an open-air swimming hath in the New Park at Morriston, the last addition to Swansea's open spaces. The bath will be quite a commodious one, and adequate dressing accommodation will he provided by a series of twelve cubicles. Open-air baths have become so popular in Bristol that the City (Council have established three of them in their parks. One of the strongest advocates, of the system in Bristol "r Mr. Parsons, principal of the well- known local firm of seedsmen, Messrs. Parsons and Co. Like the rest of re- cent park accessories, the Morriston Swimming Bath will be self-supporting, and should prove a real desideratum to the Morriston schools. The question has frequently been asked, why Morriston, which is almost entirely an industrial ward, should al- most habitually fa.il to return Labour members to the County Council and the Board of Guardians. Alexandra, iiryn- melyn, Victoria and the St. Thomas Wards supply between them a goodly number of Labour members to both the local administrative bodies. Little surprise need be expressed at tan slow growth of Labour opinion in Tinopolis when the "Swansea and Dis- trict Workers' Journal indulges in such ill-balanced and insulting criti- cism as this: "Morriston has bred more money bag, paupers and jelly fish specimens than perhaps any other ward in Swansea." Morriston has sup- plied Swansea with some of its ablest business men and administrators, and its workmen can afford to smile when they are denounced as slaves because they refuse to lisp sllh Socialist Bhibboleths. Lovers of the sweet-pea—and they fro legion—will do well to place their orders early with their seedsmen, if they do not want to meet with -ii>ap- pointment in securing seeds of their favourite variety. The disastrously wet summer which we had last year has resulted in a very short (rot). Owing to the ravages of a fiy attach the Californian crop is far oelow the average of the last few years. As an indication of the extreme popularity of this fashionable flower, California de- votes 1.700 acres to the production of bweet pea seed. The usual yield from this vast area is 1,000,000 lbs, fully half of which is exported to Europe, and the greater portion of this to Eng- J»n*i,Instead of 500.000 lbs coming to Europe in 1913, only 50,000 lbs. will be available. British growers cannot possibly make up the deficiency, for they will have more than they can do to supply tite usual demand. Although the National Drink Bill is still enormous, there is unmistakable evideqnce that, generally speaking, the British people are becoming more sober 1jn their habits. Comparing the Coronation years 1902 and 1911—and there is always a tendency to an a bnormal rise on such oecasions., owing to the general junlwting-there was a falling-off in expenditure to the ad van- tage of 1011 of something like 17 mil- kon pounds. Expressed in terms of per head of the population, this means a reduction from fifd. to X'3 lis. lOid. In 1900 the expenditure I per head was £ 4 10s. 4td. Wè are stili spending something like £ 50,000,000 a year more on drink than the gross re- I ceipts for passengers and goods on all the railways of the country four t.ime3 the cost of the maintenance of the Navy, and five times the cost of the up- keep of the Army. -———— ———— To day's Gossip.

PEASE OR WAR ?
PEASE OR WAR ? CONFLICTING OPINIONS ON THE BALKAN SITUATION. COMPROMISE POSSIBLE. I Opinions seem to be divided again as to the position of the Balkan Allies and the Sublime Porte. To-day's messages may be brieny summarised as follows: Turkey is faced with (?ivil war, and troops are reported to be marching from Chatalja to the capital to avenge the murder of Nazim Pasha. Peace negotiations in London have been definitely broken off. Genera] Savoff has appealed to his army to prepare for further victories. Turkey was expected to reply to the, pr" is to-dav, refusing to give up Adrianople to the Allies, but suggest- I in its neutralisation." Koumania still claims a province from Bulgaria. Germany is taking a strong line re- garding her interests in Asiatic Turkey, Possible Compromise. In certain usually well-informed quar- t-ers, however, it is hinted that an effort at, compromise on lines hitherto unconsidered will he made. One sug- gestion is that this points to an offer either to neutralise Adrianople or to make it autonomous. There are indi- cations that the new Turkish Cabinet is disposed to listen to counsels of moderation. The Ottoman Ministers announce a programme of internal reforms evi- dent.ly intended to show that they de- sire to be regarded as practical states- men. There is thus some reason for hoping that hostilities may not be re- sumed.

LAND AND HOUSING, I
LAND AND HOUSING, I WELSH LIBERAL COMMITTEE HARD AT WORK. At the House of Commons yesterday a meeting was held of the committee of the Welsh Liberal Parliamentary party set up to inquire into land and housing conditions in Wales and Monmouthshire. Mr. W. Llewelyn Williams presided in the absence of Sir Alfred Mond, M.P. The committee went through some 17 additional reports from Carmarthen- shire, which were of a satisfactory char- acter. These practically completed the re- ports from the county named, and at the next meeting reports from Glamor- ganshire will be dealt with. From this county also a considerable amount of information has been obtained. It is understood (says the I/obby Correspon- dent of a. Cardiff contemporary) that from all over Wales complaints have been received of Insecurity of tenure, and a large majority favour the adop- tion of some process for fixing fair rents. A good many farmers are not in favour of small holdings, and not much infor- mation has been received as to the pay- ment of a minimum wage to labourers. Some difference of opinion is appar- ent as to the establishment of Land Courts, hut all, as stated, appear to favour some process by which rents shall be fixed.

9 IN ONE ROOM. THE HOUSINC CONDITIONS IN PEMBROKESHIRE. COUNCIL'S DISCUSSION. "W e have often drawn attention to the great need for reform in the housing conditions obtaining in many parts of the Principality, and once more come painful details of rural life. The housing conditions in Pembroke- shire were the subject of a lengthy dis- cussion at Haverfordwest Rural Dis- trict Council on Wednesday. Mr. Vincent Johns, Good wick, moved a resolution to lefer the housing ques- tion to the Sanitary Committee for thejr careful consideration and report, the committee- to make whatever sug- gestions they think advisable as to how the difficulty of providing suitable houses for the really poor is to be dealt with where required." The Difficulty. I Mr. Johns said some of the houses ocyuld not possibly be made equal to the requirements of the Health Act. As they could not. turn the cottagers out on the roadside, some remedy must be suggested tor dealing with the problem. Instead or defending themselves against attacks, they could consider some policy for the future. The Council had not been inactive. Had the county medical officer resided in Pembrokeshire for twenty years, he would have seen the vast improvements which had taken place in the housing conditions of the people. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. Watts seconded. The resolution was carried. Nine in One-Room House. I The Sanitary Committee reported t.hat the inspector for the north district had complained that the houses mentioned by the county medical officer were still unfit for human habitation. Dr. Thomas, medical officer, recom- i mended the closing of two houses at St. Ishmael's, and he also reported that at Letterstoii a one-room cottage was inhabited by the parents and seven children, which was a very unsatisfac- tory state of affairs. It was stated that eight houses in Letterston, of which complaint was made, had been repaired. The medical officer's report was adopted. i In Swansea. As we have pointed 01111 from time to time, sucn tilings are. not confined to Pembrokeshire. Overcrowding is rife in many other parts—even in pros- porous, busy Swansea. Until i-jiis problem is seriously grappled with, there can be no wonder at liL-lieaitb and immorality being only too prevalent.'

A BAD LOT.I
A BAD LOT. I CAREER Or GRIME WHICH ENDED ON II iht StatfUUl. | As reported yesterday, the East- bourne murderer was executed at Lewes yesterday for killing inspector Wails. it transpires that his career was a remark- able one. "John Williams," as he was called, was born at Edinburgh in lHKJ, his real I name—withheld at subsequent convic- tions out of Consideration for his parents, respectable and religious people living in Scotland—being George Mackay. Yanous petty crimes were traced to him from the early age of nine, when he began t.o steal, and sub- sequently., after being bound over several times by the Edinburgh justices, he went to sea.. This career did not ap- peal to him for long apparanetly, for in 1899 he joined the Koyal Scots and went out to South Africa, where he deserted after being courtmartialled for small thefts. He associated with bad charac- ters in Kimborlev, and in 1907 was de- ported from Johannesburg as an unde- sira ble. Returning to England, he com- menced a career of housebreaking, and was convicted at, Wells, Folkestone, and Eastbourne for burglary, serving sen- tences (the last, in Nov., 1910), rang- ing from nine to twenty-one months' hard labour. He frequently changed his name, going under the aliases of Wilson, Thompson, Hamilton and Wil- hams.. and his real name he only gave when he enlisted in the Roval Scots in I I? 9 9.

THE VERONAL i CASE. I j CURIOUS POINT CLERK AND BOTTLE OF HOCK. CLOSE QUESTIONING. STORY OF AN AFTERNOON VISIT TO THE FLAT. CACHET AND BOX. WITNESS'S CONVERSATION WITH MH. HOE. (By our Special Staff of Reporters.) HOVE, Inur.sday. Public interest in what has become known as the Hove mystery continues unabated. Everywhere one goes one finds the case being discussed from every po&sibio point of view, to the al- most etitii- exclusion of other topics. To-day the East Sussex Coroner re- sumed at the Hove Town Hall the second inquiry into the circumstances surrounding tiie death of Mr. Hugh Eric Trevanion, a wealthy young bachelor, who was related to the Earl of Strath- j more and Eord Northumberland, who succumbed at a flat m Grana- avenue Manshions, Hove, which he shared with a friend, in September last. On the 9th of that month the de- ceased, who had moved into the flat shortly before, was taken ill after I supper, when he complained of having takan an overdose ot veronal. Mr. Al- bert Edward Roe, of Swansea, the young man's friend who lived with him for some time, telephoned for Dr iiaines, a local practitioner who had previously attended the deaceased, who had lor years been addicted to the drug habit. Dr. Raines arrived about midnight, but by this time Air. Trevanion had become unconscious. Dr. Sanditer, a well-known speciahst of Bavswater. >as also sum- moned. The young man, however, did not regain consciousness, and died on the llth of September, 06 hours after taking the fatal dose. The First Inquest. At the nrst inquest, t'.i-ich was con- ducted at the liat, situated in one oi the uio&> aristocratic quarters of H-uve, a verdict of death from misadventure was returned. The body, which had been buried at Norwood Cemetery, was ex- humed, as the result of the action taken by Mrs. Trevanion, the mother of the I deceased, who brought certain matters to the notice or the Public Prosecutor. The direction ror the holding of a second inquiry, a most unusual proceed- ing, was consequent upon the discovery made by Dr. Wilcox, the famous Home Oihce expert, that the deceased, who was 27 years 01 age, must, have swal- lowed at least 150 grains of veronal, or from three to ti YO times the quantity siuncient to cause death. In explaining why a post mortem was not deemed necessary on the occasion of the first inquest, the Coroner said the cause of death was spoken to by one medical practitioner who had known that Mr. Trevanion was in the habit of taking veronal, and had done so for many years, adding: "The ordinary dose of veronal is from 5 to 10 grains, but Mr1. Trevanion, as a matter of fact, used to take the drug in cachets which con- tained 7 or í grains. He took one or two more as occasion might require. One had to ask at once whether he could have taken some twenty cachets by mis- adventure. One is bound to look all round and consider (went on the Coroner) are there any suspicious cir- cumstances was there opportunity was there motive; or was there anything positive to suggest that anybody else had any hand in it." After alluding to the case as some- what of a mystery, the Coroner said "It is not explained satisfactorily by any- thing that has been published, and even with that further knowledge that I have of the facts, I should not like to anti", cipate what your verdict would be. The jury was accordingly called upon to de- termine whether Mr. Trevanion deliber- ately took his own life; whether the fatal dose wa.s administered by someone else jor whether death was actually due to misadventure, as the jury had found on the occasion of the first inquest. Preceding Evidence. The evidence given up to Tuesday showed that the deceased, who in- j herited a considerable sum of money from his grandfather, lived at the rate of about £ 8.000 a year, while his income was only £ 1,500, and that in addition to various sums which he had trans- ferred from time to time to Mr. Roe's banking account, with the object, it was stated, of making him independent by providing him with an income of t460 per annum, he had made several wills, in the last of which he left practically the whole of his fortune (estimated at £ 50,000) to his friend, with the excep- tion of a few small legacies, including a sum of £1,000 to the mother of Miss Geneste, who has been for several years the famIly governess The Nurse's Note. Since the last adiournment there has been much curiosity evinced as to the nature of the contents of the note handed to the coroner by one of the nurses who had attended the deceased in answer to a question concerning the reasons why the deceased had been un- happy. Tip to the present they have not been disclosed, although it is pos- sible the Coroner may make some refer- ence to them in his summing up. i (Continued on Page s.)

The movements of the airship were witnessed by a number of the villagers. | At first it "headed for Cardigan Bay, but its searchlights, which swept the hills, evidently revealed the nearness of the sea, for it turned south and left in the direction of Carmarthenshire. This is at least the fifth t ine fht's month that the mystery airship has been seen hying by night yet no one has seen it rise or descend, and no one knows whence it comes or wither it goes. On Tuesday it was reported that five persons declared they had seen it going over Liverpool between seven and half- I past eight on Saturday night last. Vet at 8.25 it was seen near Aberyst- wyth At Liverpool, as in Wales, it carried a light, or lights. We have already recorded the state- ments of persons at Cardiff, Merthyr, Swansea, and other places, who claim to have seen "the strange light 1J in the air.

Details of a shocking burning fatality have been reported to the' Neaui Coroner, the victim being Annie Quinn, the three years and eight months old daughter of Mr. John Quinn, farmer and cattle dealer, Cwmpandy Farm, Cimla. Left in a bedroom alone last Friday morning, the Jittle girl picked up a box of matches to light a candle.

With great presence of mind, Mrs. Quinn tore the burning clothing off the child, and sent for medical assistance.

iA FINE RECORD.
A FINE RECORD. PREMIER SPEAKS OF THE WORK OF THE GOVERNMENT. COUNTRY'S PROSPERITY. The freedom of the ancient town of Dundee was to-day conferred on the Premier. Last night at Leven, East Fife, Mr. Asquith made an important speech, the chief points of which were as follows:— If Mr. Bonar Law has auy new and relevant question for me (said the Pre- mier), I shall be only too delighted to answer liirn. Wheeze,- «_•c wc may been charged with, we have shown no indis- position to appeal to the country in the past. We have deliberately shortened the term of "life" ct the House of Com. mons so that appeals to the country may be even more frequent. Never So Prosperous. Thiis the eighth year of our adminis- tration, and trade was never so prosper- ous or the percentage of unemployment so small. We have met gigantic expenses by taxation that does not clog the springs of industry or check the accumulation of capital. This taxation has not contributed in any way to the increase in the price of necessities of life. Throughout the Empire there is a growing desire for closer co-operation in the common task of Imperial defence. Never has Britain's voice carried greater weight in the councils of the world. 1 claim that our record well stand61 comparison with that of any Govern- ment in our annals We hope, and intend, to prosecute to a completion what &t)"!l remains of our unfinished task Our opponents have already drained to the diegs the vocabulary of vitupera- tion. But a great party cannot live by hysterics alone. I would vencure to quote to our oppo- nents a celebrated phrase of Mr. Dis- raeli: "This melodramatic malignity has been a little overdone." Tariff Reform Bait. The Tariff Reform bait was a re- duction of tea and sugar duties. With- out Preference or Protection, the Government have already substantially reduced both these duties. From the fiscal adventure into which the Tones plunged bi.mliy the rank am* file -re vainly endeavouring to extri- cate their leaders. Mr. Bonar Law's supporters Clift hardly he called hi:" follower. The present C nionist policy consists of two proposals—one immediate, the other prospective. The first is, if they got into office, to Dut a low tariff on foreign manufac- tured goods and give Colonial Preier- ence so far as it can be done without food duties. Why should the tariff be low if the foreigner pays the duty"? The prospective proposal is to con- sult the Dominions, ani if, after that. food duties are desirable." to submit tlw Question to a Geseral Election. Tortuosities and Gyrations." That is how I understand it. without dwelling on th tortuosities and gyra- tions of their recent manoeuvring or in- quiring what precisely Mr. Bonar Law has done with his Hag. It is obvious that the Tariff Re- formers have completely abandoned Mr Chamberlain' s original position that there can be no Colonial Preference without taxation of food. What then will be the position of the farmer? He will have to pay more on foreign manufactured goods which continue to be imported.
