OLD AGE PENSIONS. °f the annual conference of Met F-G-B. were resumed at the Hotel Ro'°P°'e« Swansea, on Thursday. Mr Enoch TK'- M P- Presided. 6 Question discussed was that of old l0O^ns' Mr Finney (North Staffordshire) "That in view of the large number of aged work,n who have been ditmissed from their oToyment in consequence of the operation the Workmen's Compensation Act, and need of making provision for all aged °rkmen, this conterence urges the Govern to introduce and carry into law during JTe Dext Session of Parliament an old age Pension scheme, and in order to press the &tter on the attention of the Government recommend that a strong deputation be jPpointed to wait on the Prime Minister. Watts Morgan seconded, saying that in ^aequenceof the operation of the Act anum- ytf fcged miners were turned away from ,r work and, to the credit of the South faiV^? he was glad to say they had £ 7,000 in order partially to relieve the tK 88 caused by these old men being ^fown on the road." ^Jj| John Wilson (Scotland),amid some uproar °leS maintained thajj this was a<Trade Union question,but one with which Socialism could effectually deal. It was 1^3^° discussing the abstract question, bub to find the money, and his solution was |i.j 0nalisation of the mines. They could not do while the House of Commons was filled landlord* and capitalists, and while the to ^ords remained. The only way was dlleate the miners, that they must look in tber direction, and send men to Parliament ^ere not landowners and capitalists, or vested interests to protect. Jrhe motion was carried unanimously.

I Who Lost the Montagu ? 8 COULD SHE HAVE BEEN FLOATED ? The naval correspondent of the Daily News writes ;00 the night of May 29-301ast the battleship Montagu, ol the Channel Fleet, was stranded on Shutter Point, off Lundy Island. Within 24 hours the Liverpool Sal- vage Association had two of their boats, the Ranger and the Linnet, on the spot, and the work of attempting to salve the vessel was begun under the superintendence, not of the Salvage Association, but of the Commander-in- Chief of the Channel Fleet. On August 6th. 68 days later, Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson informed those engaged in the work that he had suspended all salvage opera- tions, and expressed his regret that the hard work and the enterprise shown by all the officers and men of the fleet had not earned success. On August 16th the Court Martial on Captain T B. Adair and Lieutenant J. H. Dathan began its sittings, and on August 21st delivered sentence, finding both prisoners guilty of hav- ing by default and negligence caused the Mon- tagu to be stranded and lost. In the Daily News of the following day the special correspondent who attended the trial said :—" Granting, as one must do that Captain Adair and Lieutenant Dathan were guilty of stranding the ship, one may yet ask— Were they guilty of losing the ship ? After she went ashore other officers senior to Captain Adair came and took charge of the salvage ope- rations, and he bad no opportunity of getting her off the rocks under conditions where it would have been possible to have prevented her sinking. It seems to me that the Admiralty should be asked, and asked deliberately, whether some other person or persons be not responsible for the actual loss of the Montagu." The sequel to all this is now apparent. On August 18tli the Liverpool Salvage Association obtaifaed permission to attempt to salve the 12- inch guns which constituted the main arma- ment of the wrecked battleship., unhampered by Admiralty supervision. On Monday last. forty-two days later, the last of those guns was landed at Pembroke Dockyard and handed over to the authorities. The gun carriage in the fore barbette has also been salved, and efforts will now be made to remove the gun carriage in the after barbette. Furthermore, it is understood that an attempt wiil also be made to salve some of the auxiliary machinery from the engine room and other valuable parts of the ship, should the weather continue fine. There is food for very serious thought in this bare recital of facts, and the thought that must bo uppermost in our minds is Why, if it is possible to take out the big guns and other parts of the ship after she has been buffeting about on the rocks for over four months, was it not possible to get them out earlier, and get the ship off ? And arising out of that we must ask ourselves Is it not possible that someone blundered, that when the ship first went ashore the officials came to the conclusion that she could not have been got Off ? If that were so, then why were 68 days spent in pottering about the ship ? For one reason Parliament was sitting, and to have announced at once that the ship could not be got off might have led to awkward questions. But it is not too late for questions to be asked now. The Veil Over Lundy. But, as a matter of fact, it was not considered impossible at the time to get the ship off. The Salvage Association were prepared to get her off. and that within, if we are not misinformed, fire weeks. A veil was dropped over the pro- ceedings off Lundy Island. But that veil was pierced by murmurings of mutiny among the men engaged on the work. But the mutiny was not among the seamen it was among the salvage operators, who were continually find- ing their efforts thwarted, their advice neg- lected. and their commoasense arguments flouted. Be it notsd that no blame is to be attached to Sir Arthur Wilson for acting as he did. He bad his orders from Whitehall, and to the best of his ability he carried them out. No doubt he might have supervised the operations and still left the salvage corps to work in their own way. Thtut he did not do so is only a tribute to his zeal. The fault. lie3 nearer, in Whitehall itself. Who was to blame it were difficult to tell But someone blundered badly, and was subsequently unable, or unwilling, to repair that blunder, to acknowledge that a mistake had been made, and to set matters right in the only way that was possible. That is how the Montagu came to be lost to the nation and to the Navy, and that h the mystery that the Court Martial failed to elucidate. The public's confidence in the Admiralty is unfaltering. Its devotion to the chiefs of the sea service is blind. And, generally speaking, that confidenCQ and that devotion are well placed. But in this matter of the Montagu the facts seem more worthy oi the War Office than of the Admiralty, and the matter must not be allowed to rest until it has been thoroughly thrashed out.

EX-POLICEMAN AND WIFE. Story of Desertion. I don't feel disposed to send this man to gaol," said Dr. Tavlor, sitting as a magistrate with Mr J. H. Hallett. at the Cardiff Police Court on Wednesday, in a case of wife desertion wiiicii Mr Pritchard, on behalf of the Roard of Guardians, described as a very cruel one. The prisoner was a tall, sturdy, able-b ',died man of 27, named Patrick Clarke, who had at one time served in the Glamorgan Constabulary and in the Scots Guards. He bad left his wife and eldest child at a horr.e in Glasgow some months ago, and had gone away, he said, in search of work. He went I to London, but though he wrote to his wife three or four times he did not send her his address, nor send her any money, though she was at the time expecting to become a mother, and he bELd, drawn his pension from the War Office. Mrs Clarke, a refined-looking wopan, left Glasgow and came to Cardiff, where she found herself destitute, and on the 19th of August she made an application for parish relief. She was taken to the Workhouse, where her second ch'.ld was born. The prisoner had never seen that baby. Replying to questions by Mr Prit- chard, she added that the prisoner s conduct to her before he left had been unkind. He had got into bad company, and had become w-ld. The prisoner broke down when he heard his wife's pitiful storv. and told the magistrates that he had walked from London to Glasgow and back in search of wark, and promised if they would give him another chance he would secure work in Cardiff. It was tben that Dr. Taylor said that he did not feel disposed to send the man to prison. and suggested an adjournment. Mr Pritchard pointed out that the man had given the authorities great trouble, and added that he could nob recommend such a course. The costs already amounted to about B6, and the man had received f2 5s a quarter pension money, whilst a sum of £2 had been found U*Dr.1Tavlor ordered thij money to be paid to the wife by instalments, and the case was then adjourned for a month.

ECZEMA COVERED HEAD AND LIMBS Could Not Rest Day or Night-Felt Miserable From Itching-Cured Before Using One Complete Set of the Cuticura Remedies—Now Says: It Ought to Be I A HOUSEHOLD WORD THE NAME OF CUTICURA" I broke out with eczema through get- ting a severe cold. I was covered on rny chest, back and limbs for five week a. I could not rest day or night. I took one vial of Cuticura Pills and used one box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap. I was cured before I had used one set of the Cuticura Remedies. I read about the cures of Cuticura in the papers. I thought what they had done for one they could do fot another, but after I had used Cuticura Soap for a day or two I believed it w&s a priceless remedy for anything, if it was given a trial. In fact, I scarcely believed I was cured in so short a time, and I felt much better and stronger than I did before taking the set of Cuticura Remedies. I shall not forget to recommend them to- any one. If any one knew what the Cuticura Rem- edies can do, there would not be so many doctor's bills to pay, when you can get a cure at a trifling cost. It ought to be a household word, the name of Cuticura. I should like to tell you, before I conclude, the rash made me feel so ill. I itched so and how miserable I was. I used the Soap and Ointment and felt better after the third applica- tion. I felt they w"re doing me good but to be cured. -"d not to feel illl I consider them Wttu rkable remedies, and if only people knew what they can do for them, they all would want to be first to try them.

School Managers' Revolt. ....

School Managers' Revolt. INITIATED IN WALES. Another West Riding Case. IMPORTANT LEGAL ACTION PENDING e The application by local education authori- ties of the principles of the West Riding judg. ment is already leading ta serious complica- tions, and a general revolt of denominational school managers is (says a correspondent) being organised This movement, initiated in Wales, is intended to extend to all English areas whose authorities, acting on the West Riding judgment, have redaced, or propose reducing, teachers' salaries on account of the time occupied in giving denominational iu. struction. Our correspondent is authoritatively in. formed respecting the procedure proposed to be adopted and the grounds on which it is taken. This procedure includes early appeal to the law courts, raising issues equalling in importance those of the West Riding case, and having equally far-reaching consequences. The circumstances are briefly these :—There have been served this week on correspondents of denominational schools in Welsh counties by registered letters from local education uthorities a formal instructions under Sec. VII., la of the Education Act, 1902, requiring them to serve all teachers in their schools em- ployed under the local authority with notices terminating all existing engagements at an early date, the object being to reduce salaries proportionately to the time occupied in denominational instruction The teachers have themselves been served simul- taneously with a copy of these instruc- tions to the managers and an intimation that unless the managers serve the required notice the local authority w.11 not, after the expira. tion of the period stated, be responsible for salaries on account of time so occupied. The denominational managers intimate their intention-fir-stly, to refuse compliance with these instructions, which they hold to be ultra vires and, secondly, to contest in the law court. any attempt on the part of the looal authority to supersede the managers or assume managerial functions in respect of their schools and are prepared, should it prove necessary, to carry the ease on appeal to the House of Lords. They recognise that under the section quoted th« local authority can, in the words of the section, have power themselves to carry out the direction in question as if they were the managers." But the managers in the present instance base their reiusal on a further clause in the section, saying, But no direction given under this provision shall be such as to interfere with reasonable facilities for religious instruc- tion during school hours." They contend that the instructions now issued by local authori- ties transgress this emphatic condition, and that consequently the managers are legally entitled to refuse compliance, while the local authority would be acting lilesrally in attempt- ing to impose disabilities consequent upen non- compliance with instructions legally issued. The managers hold further that, inasmuch as instructions now issued to them are ultra vires, the duplicated notices issued simulta- neously to the teachers are equally informal and ineffective, and they say they will sup- port the teachers in any action deemed neces- sary to contest the high-handed proceedings of the local authority in respect thereof. b The Church managers also take the altema. tive ground that even if the instructions issued were legal, the local authority would still not be justified in reducing salaries on account of time occupied in givmg religious instruction. They hold that the Parliamen- tary grants are not paid for religious instruc- tion, and that consequently the existing salaries are paid for only such time as the Board of Education inspectors are entitled to take cog- nisance of. The inspectors are specifically tor. bidden to inquire into the character or extent of religious instruction, and the school only comes under their jurisdiction at and alter the time the school registers are marked, which is after religious lessons are ended that the grants in both provided and non-provided schools are given for efficient secular instruc- tion only and the salaries in both classes of schools are paid on the same time basis conse- quently the teachers in denominational schools render equal public service with the teachers in Council schools and claim equal treatment for equal service and that if salaries are docked for religious instruction in one class of schools they must be similarly docked in Council schools on account of the time occupied in undenominational religious instruction for which no grants are paid and on account of which no salary should be allowed, if the present salaries in non-provided schools cover the time occupied in religious instruction- Thus far the English local authorities. Similarly involved are the Welsh authori- ties, but a further contention regarding the Welsh authorities is that not contributing rate aid to denominational schools they cannot withhold grants earned by such schools. The present action is being taken under the highest legal advice.

Swansea Housing Scheme QUESTION OF PLAN ALTERATION. Councillor Ruthen's Criticism. At a meeting of the Housing Committee of the Swansea Corporation on Wednesday, Mr George Payne presiding, Mr fluthen said with respect to the plans for tse Colborne-terrace houses be, as an expert, wished to voice an im- I' pression that fcubsequent to the Local Govern- ment Board inquiry an alteration in the plans had taken place with regard to running the partition w? 1U through to the roof. Lie was not against housing for the working classes, but he wanted to see things carried through in a straightforward manner. He had attended every meeting since the inquiry, and the dele- tion bad not taken place during that time, and he wanted to know why the deletion should not have been shown in the plans submitted to the Local Government Beard. The Chairman said the question of the dele- tion of the party walls was discussed at a meeting of the Housing Committee, but Le did not know whether before or alter the inquiry. Mr Ruthen said if the deletion took itlace before the inquiry it ought to have been marked on the plans placed before the inspector. Mr Lovell said it seemed to him that though not legally justified the committee was morally justified. Mr Ruthen said such an evasion of the bye-taws should have been stopped. That was not the only matirr. There was non-pro- vision of intercepting traps, and the Council were connecting two houses with one drain. Then the hnad room of the sculleries was below the requirements. There had been too much (submitting plans to the Local Government Board, getting its approval, and then doing what they liked. There was, too, a disposition on the part of the officiaJs to advocate one side. The Estate Agent said he wished to be per- fectly impartial in spite of what Mr Ruthen said. Personally he would strongly recommend the deletion of both the party waits and the intercepting traps. Mr Ruthen asked what authority the committee had to alter plans approved by the Council. Mr Morris said the bye-laws had not been observed by builders. Mr Living3ton suggested that the plans should he placed before the Council, and if approved of an altered then the Mayor should be author. Led to affix the seal. This was agreed to.

Ludford defended Mr Howell said com- plainant waa not 16 years of age when she was seduced. Defendant was a builder and con- tractor, and was about 42 years of age. The advocate said he would hand in a number of picture postcards—some of them of a very sug- gestive character—and certainlY. of a highly improper character to send to a grrl so young. He was sorry to think that some of the post- cards were printed in this country, and they should certainly be suppressed. The Presiding Magistrate: You aay that some ol these postcards ought to be suppressed? Mr Howell Yes. The Presiding Magistrate Here is a picture of two children kissing each other. Do von object to that? Mr Howell: I may be wrong in my interpretation, buc I think it suggests something more than that. Mr Ludford To the pure. all things are pure, you know. The Presiding Magistrate (pemsiag a postcard): Here's a. pair in bed. Mr Howell: I think that is improper. We don't want these things exposed to the world. The Presiding Magistrate But they are both asleep. I don't think there ia anything to object to in these cards. Mr Howell: Of course, you can get them a bit hotter i* Vienna. Mr Ludford Wili you let me see the cards ? I hope they will not shock me. The Presiding Magistrate I can't work up a shock over these cards. The above remarks took place, strange to say, U amid laughter in court." E. M. Holjoway said she became acquainted with defendant when helping her mother at the Drovers' Arms. Defendant misconducted himself with her about five times. Mr Howell: Not more than that ? Think again. The Presiding Magistrate: You needn't be particular as to a few. Cross-examined by Mr Ludford Applicant denied misconduct with other men. Witness said that she went to see a doctor at defen- dant's suggestion, and when the doctor asked her who bad misconducted himself with her she said that it was a married man.—Mr Lud- ford Why did you say that ?—Because I was afraid of the defendant, and he told me to say that a married man had misconducted himself with me.—Has he threatened you ?—Yes. What did he threaten to do to you ?—To run away with me to America. Have you a postcard album ? Yes.—How many postcards have About 300. —I put it to you that you ask the men coming to the Drovers' Arms to send you postcards ?—No, sir.—Witnesses were called in .support of ap- plicant's case. Mr Ludford submitted that there had been no courtship. Mr Howell (interposing) But there has, look at these postcards in which he says Dearest Forget me-not," and Love, love, love." Mr Ludford These post- cards will give you a perfect fever. The Pre- siding Magistrate: There is not much in the postcards. They were not in an envelope. Mr Howell That shows how openly he did it, and it also shows the superlative character of the deceit. Mr Ludford (continuing) said that a barmaid was just the thing for youug men to play with. Mr Howell: That is a most astounding sug- gestion.— Mr Ludford: Here is a champion of barmaids now. These remarks were also made" amid laugh- ter." Jno. Pugh Jones emphatically denied mis- conduct with the complainant. The Bench made an order of 3s 6d per week with costs.

Principal Griffiths stated tnat the only func- tion at which intoxicants had ever been used was at the medical students' annual gathering, and that the hospitality in that case was pro- vided by the medical men of the town, who were friends of the medical school. At the first meeting of that body Whisky and beer were consumed, but subsequently whisky was not supplied, the drinks being confined to beer, tea, coffee, &c. While fully agreeing with the spirit of the resolution, he felt that it would be wise for the Council not to be too precipitate in any action they took. The Bishop of LlandaJf deprecated using com- j pulsion, and urged the advisability of reterring the matter to the Senate. Councillor Chappell asked if the use of in- toxicants was confined to the medical students. Principal Griffiths replied that it was. Principal Edwards declared that the college should be clear of intoxicants. Sir Marchant Williams expressp-d his amaze- ment at the attitude taken up by the Bishop of Uaridalf. His Lordship and he were old teetotalers, and both knew that the argument that if people could not get drink one way they would by another, one of the oldest and stalest arguments brought against the temperance movement. It was used when the Welsh Sunday closing movement was brought on, but it had been shown that less drink was consumed now in Wales on Sundays than lormerly. Protessor Burrows called attention to Pro- fessor O. M. Edwards's remarks which had been published, and resented Cardiff College being denominated" a tippling college." The Rev. H. M. Hughes iQterpoffed and read Professor Edwards's original remarks, in which he stated what a serious thing it would be for any college to be known as a tippling college. Newer colleges should be free from this as even older colleges were ridding themselves of the objectionable features which characterised some of them in years past. Professor Burrows said it was only at this one function in the year that intoxicants had been used, and it was attended by the leading men on the College Council and at the college, and no one coold declare that any harm had accrued to any of the students. Sir Marchant Williams moved as an amend- ment :—" That the Council, having ascertained that a smoking concert has been held within the walls of the college once a year, and that intoxicants have been consumed at such smok- ing concert, now unanimously resolves that hereby intoxicants be forbidden at this concert as they have always been forbidden at all other entertainments." The Rev. W. E. Winks seconded. Dr. W. T. Edwards testified to the excellent conduct of everybody at the smoking concert in question, and declared that at no period within his memory had the conduct of medical students been better than it was at the present day. The Rev. H. M. Hughes withdrew his resolu- tion, and that of Sir Marchant Williams was carried unanimousl p. It was decided that on October 18th, when the half-yearly meeting of the Court of Gover- nors met, that the governors should be invited to attend the site of the new buildings, and that an earnest appeal should be made to all governors to become canvassers for the funds of the college.

AMAZING ALLEGATIONS AT SWANSEA. At the Swansea Quarter Sessions, before Mr S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P., Mary Ann Spring, now residing at Clitton-place, Clifton-hill, Swansea, surrendered to bail under indictment* charging her with neglecting her five children. Mr L. M. Richards prosecuted, and Mr Ivor Bowen defended. Inspector Arnold spoke to visiting the defendant's house on August 29th and finding it in a filthy condition. The chil- dren had bruises upon them and were swarm- ing with vermin. Cross-examined by Mr Ivor Bowen The children were well nourished. Dr. Hansen described the children's condition as showing gross neglect. There were wounds on the bodies that were only consistent with violence. The husband, Albert Edward Spring, said he liad often had to complain to his wife beeause the house was dirty, and the children likewise. Cross-examined by Mr Bowen, he denied that he had kept his wife penniless. Asked whether he had not left his family destitute in South Africa, be exclaimed, Infamous Inlamona Cruet Cruel J" Mr Bowen: Didn't the workhouse authorities have to take her case up on account of your treatment of her ?—Witness (indignantly): No, she had to go away because the people ia the street were going to mob her for tli-treai. ing her children. A sword was at this stage produced, and Mr Bowen suggested that witness used this weapon about his wife. Witness exclaimed, Absurd. Ridiculous." One of the children, Adelaide, eight years of age. said her mother had beaten her with a walking-stick becauseibe had lost a penny. Tattered and dirty clothing was produced, which witness declared she wore when taken away by her father's aunt. She did not see her mother strike Lilian, aged nine, with a red-hot poker, but her SÍllter showed her hands to witness, upon which there was a scab where she had had a burn. Lilian Spring, nine years of age, said that her mother behaved very cruelly to her. She had beaten her with a big stick and put a hot tongs on her hands. Witness also said her mother bad thrown boiling water over her head. In cross-examination, witness said her mother once got Blanche's head on a block of wood, and wa3 going to strike her with a hatches when Mrs Davies, a neighbour, came in. And Blanche didn't lose her head then remarked Mr Bowen. No," answered wit- ness innocently. Other evidence was given, after which the case was adjourned uati1 to day.

MOTHER BLAMES FATHER. When the charge of cruelly illtreatinsr her children was resumed at Swansea Quarter Sessions, Mary Ann Spring said that on August 28th she cried bitterly when her husband came into dinner because the inspector had been there. Stop your crying," the husband said. Withdraw that summons you have taken against me and the inspector shall call here no more." She denied emphatically all the charges of craelty against the children, and said that though the house was dirty, it was not filthy. In answer to a question, she said she was not surprised at anything the children said because they had been boueht by her husband. The Recorder Why do you say that ? Defendant For months he never had a kind word for my children, but now, since this row has commenced, he has bought clothes, cakes, and everything for them, Since I left it has been roast meat and ham.

CRUSOE8 AT CARDIFF. Considerable annoyance and inconvenience to the navigation of the Glamorgan Canal has been recently caused by boys who, especially on Sunday, play on the canal bank and take short voyages on the water on floating pieces of timber. Mr Morgan Rees, acting on behalf of Messrs Denny, Mott. and Dickson, informed Mr Milner Jones (the deputy Stipendiary) on Wednesday that rafts of timber were often left on the side of the canal, but boys cut the ropes and chains which fastened the timber and sent them adrift On Sunday, September 23rd 83 logs had been cut adrift, and it took much time to collect them, whilst traffic on the canal was very much interfered with. The damage done to the rafts on that day amounted to f2. Three boys, named ErnestSevira George Hay. and John Harding, who had been seen playing on these rafts on the day in question were summoned for causing the damage. Hay and Harding were each fined 10s and ordered to pay 2s 6d damage. The case against Sevira was dismissed.

Mr Taylor remarked that a few days ago it took him two and three-quarter hours to travel from Caerleon t.:) Cardiff. The clerk was instructed to write to the superintendent of the Jine at Paddington. The medical officer reported a case of diphtheria and two cases of enteric fever at the asylum.
