"THE EIESIDENT." A PIECE OF BAD TASTE. Sir Robert Rogers asked at a meet- ing of the City Corporation who gave instructions to tho tor«stmaster at the reception of the Frenchd President to perpetrate a most "exquisite" piece of bad tate ll announcing Si; Samuel Evans, not imply as Sir Samuel Evans, but as the President of the Divorce Court, in the presence of lady guests of all ages Would the chairman take steps to ensure that such .an indiscreet official should not be employed again in a similar capacity ? It was the only blot on the da v. Mr W. H. Thomas replied: I under- stand that Sir Samuel Evans was es- corted to the dais by Mr. Brinsley Har- per, and that he told the official con-1 cerned that Sir Samuel Evans was the President of the Divorce Court. There- fore I do not think it was the fault of the official. Sir Robert Rogers: A very regrettable incident altogether. I will refer to the matter when Mr. Brinsley Harper is pre- sent.

LOAN COLLECTIONS. -.ft NEARLY 120,000 VISITORS TO ART C LLERY. At the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery to- day a meeting of the Swansea Corpora- tion Art and Cratts Committee was 'held. The chair was occupied by Mr. F. E. Tunbridge. It was reported that the number of visitors since the open- ing was 111,858. A letter was read from the Museums' Asociation with reference to the forth- coming conference at Swansea in 1914 confirming their decision to hold the same here. Last year an excellent collection of pictures was loaned by the Victoria and Albert Museum to the Gallery. These have been returned and replaced by a weil-chosen collection or masterly works of representative schools. The meeting considered a -sub-com- mittee's report on the new loan col- lection from Victoria and Albert Museum; the Melville collection of water-colours, now on exhibition; the china, pottery, etc., ottered on load and for sale to the Gallery. The discussion on tije china was deferred. Mr. Mui ray, A.R.C.A., reported thar he had obtained on loan for the Gal- lery the two Etrusion vases, which, until the "Leader" drew attention to them, had been accommodated at the Guildhall. Mr. Murray reported that the attendance at the Deffett Francis Art 1913, when the opening took place, was 3,618. Reporting on the possibility of erect- ing a lift at the Deffetfc Francis Gallery, Mr. M. E. Morgan, A.R.B.A., said the cost would be £ 425, and it would prove an attractive feature. The matter was referred to a sub-commit- tee. Mr. John Dyer said it would prove a great advantage. The report of the Inspector's visits to the School of Arts was highly satis- factory. It was decided that the fees for the subsequent sessions be 10s. 6d. per term, and £ 1 10s. per session.

LLANELLY NOTES. I A WEEKLY REVIEW. I (BY "THE WATCHMAN.") The Llanelly Hospital is a concrete example of what is possible when em- ployers and employed co-operate in a sympathetic manner., and industrial communities that fincl it impossible to maintain an institution of this sort would do well to take our scheme as an object lesson. Without demur, the, workers allow deductions to be made from their wages week after week, and this has been going on for some years with unfailing regularity—apart, of course from the periods when the works I were at a standstill. As a result, too workers of Llanelly have been able to contribute substantial sums, which have increased with each succeeding year, to- wards the Hospital. Out of the ordi- nary income of JE2,478 3s. last year, the workers contributed no less than £ l,498' 15s. 5d., which was E107 in excess of their total contributions in the preceding year. Their self-sacrificing efforts in this direction do them great credit. It is apparent that they arc not unmindful of the misfortune that might befall them at any moment. In these days of in- dustrial competition labour-saving devices are continually being intro- duced into the labour market, and generally speaking they involve greater risk to life and limb. This being so, the expediency for having a hospital sum- ciently largeand equipped with the most modern surgical appliances to meet with any emergency cannot be too strongly emphasised. Thanks to the fore-sight of the workers, together with the tan- gible support of works proprietors and others, this necessity has in a large measure been met at Llanelly. We have a Hospital which would be the envy of every institution of its kind in South Wales if people only knew the actual state of affairs. These words are not mine; they are the utterances of Dr. J. Edgar Davies, whom, it will be admitted, is qualified to speak with some authority on the subject. Dr. Davies added at the annual meeting this week "Our. hospital is going ahead and is keeping abreast of the times very well indeed." Such an unsolicited tes- timonial as this ought to make the Man- j agement Committee swell with pardon- able pride, and at !the same time be sufficient assurance, if indeed, any as- surance were necessary, to the workers and others that their money is being judiciously spent. To administer the affairs of a hos- pital under the conditions that obtain at; Llanelly is no easy task. Composed as the Management Committee is. of per- sonsv representing the various classes of the community, questions that require delicate handling naturally arise only too frequently, so that oil has to be poured on the troubled waters. Frac- tious and capricious criticism would spell disaster if they were allowed to meddle with affairs, and happily the Manage- ment Committee have found such dis- agreeable persons few and far between. Instead of being hindered, the commit- tee have, in consequence, been able to work harmoniously under the guidance of Mr. Dan Wiliams., J.P., to whom the town is under a deep obligation, if only for the great sacrifices he continues to make on behalf of the Hospital. For many years now, Mr. Williams has filled the chair with dignity and distinction, and nothing gives him greater satisfac- tion as an employer of labour than the whole-hearted support he receives from the representatives of the workers. He never attempts to conceal his feelings in this direction on the contrary, he publicly acknowledges his indebtedness to them. While winning the undivided support of the workers, it is pleasing to note that he has done nothing to alienate the sympathies of the other classes. Through his instrumentality new friends, whose actions speak lou-der than words, keep cropping up. May their number increase! Sufficient has already been written to indicate that Mr. Dan Williams has proved himself to be an ideal chairman, and it is pleasing to find so many ready to pay honour where honour is due. Per- haps it is only natural that he should desire to relinquish the position, seeing that it involves so much anxiety and multitudinous duties, but in the iii- terest of the Hospital, it is to be hoped he will continue to fill the chair for many years to come. Perpetual chair- manships are not always commendable, but there are instances where they are extremely desirable, and this is one. II On the year's working the Manage- ment Committee were able to show a credit balance of ;C,350-a somewhat unique occurrence, in the history of the institution. There should be no slack- ening of efforts on this account, par- ticularly having regard to the state of the tinplate trade at the present moment. The cessation of operations at some of the works will mean a big shimp in the working men's contribu- ) tions to the Hospital in the current year. This in itself would be sufficient grounds for keeping en plodding, but there is another reason which is of even greater importance, and that is, the necessity for more accommodation. Operations, if they are to prove success- ful, must, generally speaking, be per- formed at the earliest possible oportu- nity, and it therefore goes without say- ing that the Hospital should be sum- ciently large to deal with any emer- gency. Within recent years Llanelly has developed wonderfully, and the Hos- pital, if it is to keep abreast of the I times, must he enlarged. More funds are in consequence necessary, and the Management Committee would be well 'advised if they organised something in the nature of a carnival or flower day, ,and now that we can boast of a hand- some park, the opportunity for holding either of these is far more favourable A fortnight ago, owing to the Western Tinplate Works having been at a stand- still for three months, I ventured to suggest that steps ought to be taken at the first favourable opportunity by the TTrban Council to proceed with the formation of the lake in connection with Pare Howard, so as to provide employ- ment for some of the unemployed. The Old Castle Tinplate Works since then has been stopped for a week, and al- though the new mills were restarted this week, the others are still idle. To add to the seriousness of the position, the moulders at one of the foundries have been out of work for a month. It will thus be seen that the position is daily becoming increasingly serious. Happily, a large number of the men have succeeded in finding temporary jobs at other local works, but there are others who must by now be feeling the pinch of poverty, and it is these that the Urban Council ought to strive to assist. A relief fund has been suggested and as a last resource such a fund should be opened. Seeing, however, that the Coun- cil, if they feel so disposed, can provide the men with employment, which I feel sure would be far more acceptable than charity, they should do so, and thus obviate the necessity for opening a fund. The Labour members are being criticised in the town for not having exerted their influence on the Council in the direc- tion of securing work for the un- employed, and I am not so sure that the censures are not warranted, because the Labour mem bers allowed another opportunity of raising the question to slip last Friday night. As a matter of urgency, it will be competent for any member to call attention to the existing state of affairs at the ordinary Council meeting on Monday evening next, and if this opportunity is allowed to go a-begging again, the Labour members in particular will have to look out for squalls among their fellow-workmen. In an informal way, I am given to under- stand the question was mooted a month ago. This being so, it cannot be de- nied that in the meantime the situation has been aggravated. There should be no further delay, because before the lake can be proceeded with, the consent oi the Local Government Board will prob- ably have to be obtained, and experience has taught us what red-tapeism means. If the Council are in earnest, the necessary consent can be obtained under the exceptional circumstances without much difficulty, but if, on the other hand. they are indifferent, the question will drag on for months. Apart from providing work for the un- etnploy-ed the formation of the lake would put the finishing touch, as it were, to Pare Howard. The inhabitants are yearning for the lake which will makc the park an even greatcd source of at traction than it is to-day. Moreover the lake will be the means of bringinc in some revenue through liottiric, ij not swimming. One or two Councillor* will argne that the recreation ground :it Bigyn sIkmiM be proceeded with n.-fora the lake at Pare Howard. Personally, I disagree with this view entirely. People flock from ail pnrts to Pare Howard, which is easily accessible, and even though the recreation ground were formed at Bigyn, it would for some time to come be, comparatively speaking, because the 'Bigynites would prefer spending their leisure in the most at- tractive spot. If a plebiscite were taken. I have no hesitation in stating that the ratepayers would vote for pro- ceeding with the formation of the hi ke first, and this without any further delay.

P ARLIA EMT. THE PLURAL VOTING BILL. COMMONS IN COMMITTEE ON THE MEASURE. CHAIRMAN'S STRONG HINT. (Special to the" Leader.") HOUSE OF COMMONS, Friday. The Speaker took the chair at noon. when there was a. very large attendance of members, the Opposition being pro- sent in considerable force. Plural, Voting Bill. Tiie Hou. went into Committee on the Plural Voting Bill. The Chairman (Mr. Whitley) said the number and iiaiuro 01 the proposed new clauses made it is duty. in the in- terests ot the Committee as a whole and his successor, to scrutinise them with special care. To save trouble he would at the outset remind the Com- mittee that the stage lor offering new clauses was not a renewal of the Com- mittee Stage of the Bill. New clauses must not be offered which were in- oonsistent with the clauses of the bill that had passed, and the fact that amendments had been passed over in the selection of amendments earlier in the proceedings on the measure gave no ground for bringing them up again in the lorm of new clauses. Points of Order. I Amid repeated signs of impatience on the part of Ministerialists, innumer- ahle points of order were raised by members of the Opposition, who re- garded the ruling ot the Chair as far- reaching and cxepptional y drastic. Captain Pretyman complained that the position in which the Committee were now placed was due to the appli- cation of the kangaroo closure. Eventually the excitement died down, and the chairman called upon 6 r Frederick Banbury, who moved a new clause enabling a Parliamentary slectcr in the City of London to vote in the city and one other constituency. position of the City of London had always been recognised in legislation affecting the franchise. This ?vas jus'ihed on coinmpr?al and his- tori('l grounds, and he recalled the] <'u'cmrMnn''cs that the city had earned the gratitude of the House of Commons by sheltering members whom Charles I. desired to arrest. Mr. J. A. Pease did not depreciate the great position of the City of London, bnt he did not consider it should be placed ÜJ a privileged position in respect of plurality of votes. "Political Vandals." j Captain Pretyman said the Govern- ment wore political vanda ls of the ve,.v worse description. (Opposition cheers.) They seemed to think that because the City of London was so wea lthv and powerful it ought to be disfranchised. The Solicitor-General (Sir John Simon) .said the dangers which it was thought might threaten the interests of the Empire were not really involved in t'!Ie rejection of the amendment. j r. Baliour thonght Lhe Committee would be advised in treating the City of London as a constituency to be dfif v. ith on an entirely separate' posi- tion. as the capital of the Empire, Such a course would not be establish- i aig any new legislative precedent. On the other hand, to reject an amend- inenr, which could cause harm to no i human ixr-ing ,aud to carry the Bill as it stood, would be to vioiate the old prece dent which treated the City of i Jjondon exceptionally Tbe Bill left it a matter of chance as to whether the City (,f London was to represent finance, or m hethor it was to represent care- take's. (Cheers and laughter). When the ex-leader of the Opposition concluded his speech, Mr. Pease promptly moved the closure, which was arrjcd alter protests from the Opposi- t on. by 249 to 133. in the division that followed, Mr. Balfour and Sir Frederick Banbury tvere nominated, amid general cheer- ing, tellers for the amendment, which vs as rejected by 2-32 to 138.

WITNESSES DIFFER. I 1 iOREiCN SEAMAN'S TERRIBLE DEATH INVESTlGA TED INQUEST VERDICT. I The Borough Coroner (Mr. J. C. Morris) held an inquiry at Siddall's j Buildings on Friday into the circum- I stances attending the tragic death of [Manuel Fcrroira (50), a Portuguese sailor, who received terrible injuries on Wednesday afternoon from the effects of which ho succumbed a few hours later at the Swansea Hospital. Mr. R. H. Tollick represented the Portuguese Consul, and Mr. T. C. Bull, solicitor, Swansea, represented Messrs. David Jones and Co., Ltd., the owners of the motor lorry which knocked deceased down. Manuel Cruz, 8, Caivert-street, a re- frestment house-keeper, gave evidence of ide tincation. Jatues Short, 86, Fleet-street, a con- ductor in the employ of the Swansea Tramways, said that at about five minutes to one deceased got on his car, one travelling between Brynmill and Wind-st., at the bottom of Wind-street. Doceascd got on the cat- on the driver's side and .the latter askod him where he wanted to go to nd b3 replied "The Doels." ']-'lie drdivcr t-old him to got o the pavement and wait for the DOCKS car. Deceased got out of the car on the driver's end and seemed to hesitate when he got into the centre ot the road between the car and the pave- ment. Witness hoard a shout, and on looking out saw the motor-lorciry with- in two or three virdsd frumd deceased, and before anyone could prevent it tho accident occurred. Witness was of opinion that deceased had not real- ised the danger he was in and had not seen the motor lorry at all. The torry was travelling at about four or five miles an hour. Deceased was quite sober. P.C. Price (87) sak^ he was on duty under Wind-street Bndge at the time of the accident.

EVE OF BREAKDOWN. -0. LADY SACKVILLES COMPLAINT TO THE PRESIDENT. LORD SACKViLLE'S EVIDENCE Upon Lady Sackville taking her place in tho witness box this morning, and Mr. F. E. Smith rising to resume his cross-examination on behalf of the Scott family, she turned to the Presi- j dent and said she had had to see a doctor, and that she was on the eve of a nervous break down. The President told Lady Sackville, who looked very pale and as if she had had a bad night, that she would not be kept very long. Lady Sackville proceeded to deny a variety of allegations against her and to explain a good deal that happened. There was no foundation, she declared, for the suggestion that she broke up a musical part at Sir John's house. The testator had not helped her per-! sonallv with money in liio lifetime. What he gave was for her father, and to benefit Kaole. As to the alleg,rt library incident. Major Arhuthnot must have had an hallucination. Lady Sackville left the witness-box at about noon, and evidence was next given to show that, there wa-s nothing unusual in Sir John's attitude towards her, and that s-lle was not seen to use any coercion over him. Lord Sackville declared that he was never a party to exercise of undue in- fluence over the testator, who had said that he wanted Lady Sackville to be well provided for. Lord Sackvilk said he quite approved of his wife's association with Sir John Stt and his affairs. Sir John had said that he looked upon them (the Sackvi lies') as his own family. Miss Sackville- West, daughter of Lord and Lady Sackville, said Sir John behaved to her like an affectionate grandfather. She declared that she was mover in the Con uaught-place library under the conditions which Major Arbathnot had described. (Proceeding).
