THE DUBLIN DUEL m » FATEFUL DAY. I WILL THERE BE A NATIONAL s T a I K'&-I? IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. I To-day is crucial. The Parliamentary Committee of the Trade Union Congress are holding a con- ference on the Dublin situation, with special reference to James Larkin's re- quest for a sympathetic natIOnal stop- page. At the time of writing no decision had been made public, but the "Loader" lias good authority for stating that Larkin's methods are not regarded favourably in high Labour quarters. It is believed to be more likely that sympathetic action will take the fcrm of an appeal to adl trade unions for fur- ther financial help, and this may be fol- lowed by a joint conference of trade union and labour forces. LONDON DOCKERS. j Leaders Holding the Men in Check. I Mr. H. OrbdU, an organiser of the Dockers' Union, stated yesterday that as a Union they were ready to obey the instructions of the Parliamentary Com- mittee. He said that if it were neces- sary to call off their men from all boats —Dublin boats or not-there would be a ready response from the men. They had even had to take special precautions to prevent the men from making any disorganised move, without waiting for their leaders. It had been with great difficulty that the men were held in check. In view of Mr. Qrbe.ll'oS remarks, and having regard to all the circumstances. it may be concluded that a general stop- page will not be permitted without very careful consideration, but if it should come to a struggle, it will be a most bitter one, in which no money nor effort will be spared on either side. ————— 0 ————— COMING TO SWANSEA.

A LOCAL Will. I FARMER STATED TO HAVE RESIDED NEAR SWANSEA. In the Probate Court to-day, before Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane, the case of Williams v. Williams was heard. This was a suit to establish a will of the 12th February 1912, of Mr. William Williams, a farmer, who was stated to have resided near Swansea, and died on 13th September. 1912. It was explained that the suit was un- defended, and, formal evidence having been given of the due execution, his Lordship pronounced for the will.

DIED TOGETHER. ONE BULLET KILLS KUSlAND AND WIFE. Husband and wife were killed by the I same bullet in a domestic tragedy at Kassa (says the Buds-pest correspondent !of the Express.") ) Paul Timar, a leading merchant of I the town, finding that unfortunate speculations had brought him to the -oiight biiii to the I verge of bankruptcy,, resolved to com- imit suicide. His young wife declared her determination to die with him. Each accordingly wrote a st-attmeiit to that effect, after which Timaa- pointed a revolver at his he-art, his wife placing herself behind him a6 closely as possible. The bullet, after passing through her husband's body, penetrated the woman's ichast. I

I TOUR COMPLETED. ALL THE SENCHE.W0B VICTIMS LOCATED AT LAST. The tour of the mine at Songhenydd was completed yesterday, and all the remaining victims, with the exception of a few buried under falls, have been located. The tour has taken five weeks, and to-day it was hoped the last bodies would be brought to the surface. Mr. D. Watts Morgan said they found water in several jacks where groups or victims were found. This indicates that idle men could not have lived very long. "It is a matter of conjecture, of course," lie said, but in my opinion they could not have lived very long, otherwise they would have exhausted the eont-ents of their water jacks and their food boxes. These had not been touched. I am quite satisfied of this." S-100,667 Total. The fund has now exceeded the £100,000 standard by over C600, and the total was RIOO,667 up to last night.

HorE RULE IN ULSTER. GOVERNMENT'S DSmE TO BE FAIR TO EERYBDV. PRIVATE NEGOTIATIONS, I An important statement is made with reference to the Home Rule problem. The Press Association learns that the Government have decided to sub- mit to the leaders of the Opposition certain proposals for the special treat- ment oi the Protestant counties of Ulster, subject, however, to the acctjtance ú lujnio Rule by all parties. x'hi,, .scheme, however, is submitted only as a basis for discussion. The question is whether a scheme can be framed which would give Pro- testant Ulster effective control of its affairs without destroying the unity oi Ireland, and it is felt that at present private negotiation is the best means of coming to an arrangement. It is understood that the meetings of the Cabinet yesterday and to-day were very largely concerned with the prob- lem. Mr. Asquith will probably negotiate with Mr. Bonar Law this week. It will be remembered that the Premier has consistently expressed the desire of the Government to consider, so far as may be possible, the Mews of all parties.

THE MEDITERRANEAN, I —— α- RUMOURED ADDrnOM TO THE I BRITISH FLEET. I (Renter's Foreign SPAlial.)I Malta, November 17th.-In usually well-informed circles the belief is dan^ growing that the British naval position in the Mediterranean will, before very long, undergo further important changes, whicn will restore it to its former place. The Admiralty is credited with the intention of reinforcing the Mediterran- ean Fleet by the absorption into it of the Fourth Battle Squadron, of which Malta is now only the subsidiary base. Before this is effected, the Fourth Battle Squadron will be strengthened by several earlier Dreadnoughts, now 'n the First BaL..e--Squadroii.

RUNAWAY TRAMS. YOUNG CWVLLYNFELL COLLIER'S DEATH. Lasf evening an inquest was held on the body of Thomas Walker, at the Baptist Chapel, CwmliynfeU. William Walker, of Harris-road, Cwmliynfell, told the jury that the de- ceased was his nineteen-year-old son. He had been employed as an assistant repairer at the Blaencacgurwen Colliery for two and a half years. "I met my son," he said being brought from the colliery on Friday last. He had left home in perfect health." Evidence to the effect that the de- ceased had met his deftth by being struck by a runaway tram was given, and the jury returned a verdict io the effect that death was due to shock, due to injuries which he accidentally re- ceived in the manner outlined. t*gg*L.' — 1!

TANGO TABOO. I GERMAN EMPEROR ORDERS OFFICERS I NOT TO OAN-E H. The Tango continues to claim many votaries, but Germany, at least, will not set its official seal upon it The "mailed list" has been lifted again, and henceforth German officers will have to be careful how they in- dulge in the intricacies <rf t-he dance. A Reuter telegram from Berlin states that the "Berliner Tageblatt" publishes the following statement: It has been known for some time that the German Emperor and Empress are decidedly opposed to the Tango | and similar dances. The 'Berliner Salon' learns that his Majesty recently gave expression to this objection in a! Cabinet order to the commanders of regiments and warships. The order re- quests military and naval officers not to dance either the Tango or the one or the two-step, and to avoid fanuftes m which these dances are performed. Officers infringing the regulation are threatened with dismissal from the Ser- vice. In Vienna. I In Vienna, the home of music and laughter, the Tango has become the rage. The National Aviation Associa- tion has seized the opportunity to augment its depleted exchequer by means of "Tango teas."

IriDAN STRIKE If NATAL I &tKs?JUo RIOTS WHITE WOMEN SEEK REFUGE IN THE T3WNS. 11 t N S. TROUBLE SPREADING. South Africa, having passed through one period of grave industrial trouble, is now faced with another serious situa- tion. As already reported, British Indians in Natal complain bitterly of the re- strictions placed on them as Asiastics. Passive resistance has now given place to violence, and the position is causing considerable anxiety, especially as false messages are ?ing sent out whh) by alleging barbarous treatment by the authci-.bies,. to render the differ- ences more acute. I Indian labourers on the Natal sugar- plainting estates n^ar Durban have not only ceased work, but have commenced tn burn the cane. If this goes on very vaiuable crops must be ruined. Police v. Strikers. Conflicts have takeu place between Strikers and police, thirty Indians and one trooper having been injured al- I ready, rihe strike is reported to be ■ spreading to the factories, and even to the Transvaal mines. The lndian waiters in the Durban hotels ceased work yesterday. There ha.s been talk of a demand for the declaration o? martial law. White women and children are leaving the disturbed districts, and seeking refuge m the tow ns. The population of Natal may be roughly divided into: Whites 100,000 A,iat,cS (near]y all Indians) î:ggg I Natives 985,000 NO SHOOTING. I Sensational Allegations Denied. I Bombay, November 17.—Mr. GokhaJel has received a telegram from Natal stat ing that in order to suppress the 6trike? of British Indians th&re the Government has ordered the mine compounds to be I treated as gaols. Men refusing to work, the message adds, are being sentenced to hard labour, but instead of being .sent to the ordinary ga.ol they are forced to v/ork in the mines. If'hey refuse, they are flogged and threatened with starva- tion. Those who attempt to escape to complain to a magistrate are, it is stated, liable to be shot as escaping prisoners.—Reuter. The Other Side. iyurt>a.n? November 17.-Wit-h refer- ence to the telegram from Natal re- ceived by Mr. Gokhale, it Ú stated that, so far a-s is known here, tthe Govern- ment has not issued order to suppress the strike. The men sentenced are understood to be chieflv the 2.000 ar- rested at Balfour, who will be sent back to their own mines, to work out their sentences, the compounds of the mines being used as gaols owing to the limited accommodation in the ordinary gaols. Flogging is. not .allowed. The Government has ordered no ar- rests to be made unless acts of violence are committed by the Indians. No shoot- ing ha.s been authorised or has taken place, and no force will be used unless absolutely necessary for maintaining order.—-lleute r. "GETTING VERY SERIOUS." Thousands on Strike. The South Africa British Indian Committee has received the following cablegram from Durban:- Indians held mass meeting here, at which over 5,000 were present. Thou- sands are coining out on strike. The situation is getting very serious. In every house difficulty of feeding people and keeping order is increasing. The active inteTvention of Imperial and Indian Governments is necessary lest greater hardships ensue. The message adds: Already one Indian has died as tile result of flogging." M.P.'S HOME AGAIN. The Immigration Question. 1 The members cf the British Parliamen- ta.ry Party returned to Southampton shore shortly after midnight ii&t from the Empire tour, and left for Lon- don this morning. Mr. Pirie, interviewed, said the eighteen weeks' tour had been an un- qualified success. The Imperial .spirit was everywhere very much manifested. Mr. Donald MacMa-ste r .said the blacks in South Africa outnumbered the whites by four to one, and the disproportion was increasing. To counteract this he advocated a vigorous immigration policy. Much good foeling existed lvetween the British and Boers, who realised that it was necessary for them to stand to- gether against what was a common danger to the State.

THE BGRED PRINCESS. I SWEDISH SOCIETY TO DULL FOR HER I A Paris correspondent of the "Stan- dard," states that, with regard to the strained relations said to exist between Prince William <?f Sweden and his wife, I Princess Marie (daughter of the Grand Duke Paul of Russia), a more or less inspired note says the truth of the matter is that the Princess finds Stock- holm and its old-fashioned society and ways too dull for words after the life at St. Pfikjrsburg and other large capitals in wlucii she was brought up. She tried at first to instil a little life into the place, but was thwared so effectually by an opposition none the less ^hostile because it was passive that she decided at last to leave. The Princess will henceforth make Paris and Riviera her home.

mum AND HER | WAYS. I DOCTOR AND THE MYSTERY OF I FEMININITY. I MODERN DRESS. I "The type of woman has changed." So said Dr. Claye-Shaw, in a lecture at the Institute of Hygiene. He bewailed the change in the type of woman, remarked that sport was bad marriage market," attacked Miss Ciirislabei x^ankburst's writings on the box question, and eteclare-d that if women obtained tne suffrage they would not be satisfied. \\oiii^.n," he said, "has become jiarder in feature and more wrinkled; her complexion is affected by her out- f.l ooi- Ife, siie is moi-c door life; she is more independent; shei has less reverencc for authority, has; fewer hoihe inleiests .and it less of a stay-at-home, and to some extent has re- verted her sexual organisation- The Modern Dress. I "If, as it seems to be, the women's! desire is to be what men are and to do irhat men do, then I think I can see some reason for the present style of dress in women, and its shortness and tiglitri-ess to display the figure," he som- mente.d a little later. I proceed to point out the mistake of this as doing! away with the mystery in women, backed i up as it is by the figure displays in pantomimes and music llaJffi. 1 wonder that women themselves, in their own interests, allow this!" The Sportmg Woman. The lecturer does not like sporting women, iuwl told his audience so f ouiilll-v Moreover, lie told how the modern uglI- ness of women begotten of sport, is the main reason, for the existence of the | quacks who call themselves beauty doctors. "Sport is a bad marriage market," the doctor declared. "The sporting girl becomes too like the man, and ex- poses her character to him too much. Besides, as a rule she neglects her home." "Devilish." I Dr. Shaw drew a moral from the excesses of the suffragettes:— "For years men have endowed women with all the virtues and have not thought of the other side of the picture. They now know that there is another side, that women can be just as obsti- nate, spiteful, and-may I say it.I devilish as men are. "The danger is that a new kind of woman may arise for whom men have no sympathy, and to esteem and cherish them will necessitate a new mental atti- tude. It will take a long time to do this, and no one can that the new social system will be a. ¡;¡l'OVe- j ment, if, indeed, it is workable. I UNDERPAID WOMEN. r The Sweating Scandal. There was a conference yesterday at the Mayfair Residence of the Duchess of Marlborough on the question of the em- ployment of woanen. Her Grace said that in organised industries to-day there were probably more than 300,000 women getting h%ss than 12s. per week.

Medical aid was called, but the woman!I died within ten minutes. Roebuck was reported missing, and this morning his body was recovered from a canal about a mile from the! scene of the tragedy. No motive for the crime is disclosed.

is TRUSTY" TROUBLE. ————— i ————— STATEMENT BY MASTER AND CREW I, OF LOCAL TUG. We have received the following state-1 ment from the master and crew oi the II steam tug Foxhound :— "On Saturday, the 8th of November, we assisted the s.s. Theseus from the berth in King's Dock to the locks, we ¡ being under the stern. When we got into the loeks t he Dockmaster told us I to stop under the stern and take the l starboard quarter rope. After they 1 had sluiced down the lock we threw our l heaving line aboard to take the rope, and the second mate had orders from the bridge that they did not require the second tug, so we went to take the head rope from the Trusty, as it was our ship. We asked the Trusty for the rope, but they would not give it up, I and the captain said that Captain Davies was on the. quav. The captain of the Trusty then said to Captain Davies, "You had better give them the rope, as it will only cause a bother," and Captain Davies said, "Take her out Joe." Captain Davies then ) said to the captain of the "Foxhound" "you will be alright, put in a. harhourl tow," and the captadn of 'Foxhound' re- plied "That's no good to me. I want the head tow." Cap?a?n Davies then said, "two steafliers want shifting to the East Dock." I told him I would not touch another steamer, and I would see what Mr. Powesland would do. Captain Davies said he did not trouble for 20 Powleslands', adding "you take her out Joe; that's your orders from the office. We have agreed for this steamer since this morning." Signed P. W.

NO INDIFFERENCE. I NEATH MINISTER AND IMPUTATION I AJAINST CHURCHES. Another of the series of conferences arranged by the West Wales Free Church Council's Federation was held yesterday at the vestry of the Orchard- place Baptist Chapel, eath. Counciilcr j D. Davies, Britonferrv, presided over a ilarge attendance. Amongst those pre- sent were the Rev. James Evans, B.A., Cardiff, secretary of the Welsh Free Church Council, who had organised the conference; Mr. Edgar L. Chap pell, Car- diff; "DOCK" Sharp, the well-Known ex- gambler; the Revs. D. W. Hopkins, Neath; Thomas Morgan, Skewen R. E. Williams, Resolven; J. T. Evans, Giyn Neath, and D. Thomas, Neath. The Chairman hoped that each ch urch would take action and fight against, gambling, betting, and drink, ajnd the eviis winch emanate from .slura life. ( Cheers.) I Indifference Denied. I In a discussion which follow addresses j by Mr. Edgar Chappell and Mr. "Dock" Sharp on the "Housing Problem and the Responsibilities or the Ohurcheis,' and the evils of "Betting and Gambling." the Rev. D. W. Hopkins (Neath), denied the imputation that the ministers J iu that district had ignored the housing question, and said that everv minister had supported the question of getting better houses. He suggested that all "Anti-Gambling and Housing League" be formed. A delegate from Siloh, Melyn- crythan, said that it was time that the "churches" did more than talk and move resolutions. They would prob- ably go buck from that conference to their churches and councils and do nothing, fie was present at a recent conference at Cardiff on Sunday trad- ing, when Mr. Lloyd George was pre- sent. What had beeu done since ? Nothing. At Neath they allowed a number of foreigners, Italians and Chinese—(laughter)—to come into their town and open s hops oil Sunday that were nothing other than gambling dens. (Applause). He hoped that they would do something that would have a lasting effect. (Cheers). Betting at Works. I Reference was made to the "gambling and betting carried on at local works," and the question wa.s asked: "Cannot something be devised and brought into operation to put a stop to this milr" Mr. Dock Sharp said it was impos- sible to do anything in this matter ex- cept through the owners of the works, whom they might ask to do their best to prohibit it by exhibiting notices to that effect in the works. It was decided to do this. Town Planning. t The Re-v. James Evans, B.A., in f concluding the conference, said that I the people had the power to stop an these evils. As far as the housing scheme was concerned, they could get their local Councils to adopt and carry into force the "Town Planning Scheme," which would provide more open spaces and better bouses and abolish slums. (Applause.) He suggested that each separate Council of Free Churches should seri- ously take action with reference to these social questions, and hold meet- ings in eacii district and in all the churches, so as to arouse the sympathies and help of the people generally. 1 (Cheers.)
