CARDIFF SCHOOLS.
CARDIFF SCHOOLS. Teaching of Wetsh. Mr J. J. Jackson (Director of Education) at a meeting of the Cardiff School Management Committee read a reply he had received from the Board of Education regarding requested permission to teach Welsh in central halls and corridors. The Authority now stated that they could not allow such a system to become a permanency, but, were willing to sanction it in certain schools where the accommodation was insufficient, this to be only for a short time under specified conditions. Councillor Cbappell It is quite right. Central halls arc not intended for teaching. Councillor Robinson It will involve thou- sands of pounds expenditure. Mr Jackson said that it meant ultimately building additional class-rooms. Councillor H. M. Thompson favoured a system of reserv- ing certain schools for Welsh where provision would be made. This was the only way out of the difficulty. Considering that the matter was of great importance, the members decided to call a special meeting of the committee and to re- quest Mr Jackson and Mr I. V. Evans (In- spector) to present full reports in regard to the present position of affairs. Little Time for 3 R's. Arising out of the Government Inspector's reports on the Cardiff schools, a discussion took place on the time allotted to the teaching of the "Three R's." Councillor Robinson said that he was constantly meeting with young men who could not write. When they are in school," he said, they waste their time with brush drawing and snch like." Mr Jackson (Director of Education) said that the tendency had been to overcrowd the time-table, and the consequence was that only two or three hours a week were given respec tivey to reading, writing and arithmetic. On the motion of the Chairman, Alderman P. Carey, it was decided to communicate with the Board of Education on the matter, and to ask Mr Jackson to give a report. No "Empire Day." The committee decided on Tuesday to adhere to their resolution not to celebrate Empire Day at the various schools,of the city. Chance for Assistants. At their meeting on Tuesday afternoon- the Cardiff School Management Committee passed a vote of condolence with the family of the late MrG. Cook. headmaster of the Crwys-road Boys' School, who died of pneumonia on April 26th. In regard to the vacancy, it was decided, on the motion of Councillor Richards, to invite all certificated teachers to make application for the vacant, post, and to send intimation to the teachers that out of these applications, a short list of three will be selected, from which suc- ceeding vacancies will be filled, according to the position of the candidates upon the list. Prizes or Half Holiday. Mr 1. V. Evans (Inspector) reported on the prize scheme versus the half-holiday scheme aH aids to the attendance. The book prizes in 1907 cost nearly £800 he said. and as a result of conferring with the head-teaclit i^s ho had found that the scheme of giving the whole' school a half-holiday on attaining a certain percentage was much preferable. It was resolved to refer the report to the School Attendance Com- mittee with the endorsement of that meeting's approval.

NEWPORT.
NEWPORT. Old Man and Girl.—Mr Lyndon Cooper men- tioned to the Newport magistrates on Satur- day the caso in which Edward Birch (65), caretaker, Jeddo-street, Newport, was charged with assaulting a girl of 10. The charge, said Mr Cooper, was of a disgraceful nature, and all the more unpleasant because defendant was an elderly man. It was to be regretted that there were so many of these cases. This little girl, with a younger brother and sister, went to Belle Vue Park on Saturday last, and there they met the defendant. Dr. Walter Bassett said there were no marks on the girl showing that she bad been assaulted. De- fendant, who pleaded not guilty, admitted tnat he was in the park. The little girl came I up to him and said, Hullo I have not seen you for a long time." He took one of the girls up in his arms and kissed her. He had been a Trade Unionist for a large number of years, and if he was sent to prison his super- annuation money would be stopped. Colonel Wallis, who presided, said the Bench did not think defendant was responsible for his actions. They would remand the case for a week to see if two sureties could be found to be responsible for his good behaviour. Bail was granted. Horse Feed. Wm. Evans, haulier, was charged with stealing three-quarters of a hundredweight of horse feed at Machen on February 25th, the property of James Bargery, hay and corn merchant and con- tractor, value 5s 6d. Thomas Llewellyn, coal merchant, Machen, was charged with re- ceiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen, and, further, with stealing a similar quantity from the prosecutor on March 3rd. After a four hours' hearing Evans was fined 40s. The charge of receiving against Llew- ellyn was dismissed, but he was fined jE5 and a costs for stealing the feed on March 3rd. His Sporting Interest.—At Newport on Saturday a case was heard in which the Sarties were Miss Margaret Thomas and Irs Maria Haines, P6ntvwaun. the land- lady and lodger respectively. It appeared that lady and lodger respectively. It appeared that Thomas accused Haines of stealing money, and brought a policeman to the house. This was at Easter, and notice to quit followed. On Tuesday last Haines said she was passing through the door when Thomas banged it against her, crashing her. She then caught her by the throat, and also by the hair, and banged her head against the wall. Ilaines' husband, giving evidence of alleged assault, said. •• I waited to see how it would come out." (Laughter.) Thomas said the lighting was done by Haines. She wanted to leave the house, but she would not go. The Clerk There will be nothing of her left if she doesn't go soon. (Laughter.) Haines was fined 10s and costs, and the other case dismissed.
INDIANA HORROR. .
INDIANA HORROR. STILL DIGGING FOR BODIES. The diggers at La Porte, Indiana, murder farm found one more body on Saturday, which brings the list of the murderess's victims now up to 21. This body was cut up as the others were, and apparently had been buried for some time. The New York correspondent of the Tele- graph says :—It is not disputed now that the widow Gunness stands a good chance of being ranked not with the greatest criminals of America-and we have had our share on this side—but with the greatest criminals of the world-Lucrezia Borgia for choice. This arch-priestess of murder has obsessed the country iu just the same way as Jack the Ripper obsessed London—a trifle more so, perhaps, because the tales of horror emanating from La Porte have not lost in the telling in the American Press. Twice the polics blundered badly. The first case, when they routed out Mrs Cora Belle Herron, the handsome widow of a prominent Chicago business man, from her s'e 'pin^-berth on a New York Central train at Syracuse early on Saturday morning, was particularly flag- rant. Mrs Herron resembles the description of the widow Gunness about as much as Edna May, for example, resembles the late Charles Peace of burglarious fame. Mrs Gunness had several gold teeth set on a gold bridge. Mrs Herron's teeth were almost perfect. Mrs Gunness spoke with a decided accent. Mrs Herron spoke perfect English- Mrs Gunness was an Amazon, and is de- scribed as rough in manner. Mrs Herron was graceful and possessed of charming manners. On arriving here last night Mrs Herron said her arrest was a great outrage, and that she will sue the police for £10,000 damages. Matrimonial Bait. Only three of the bodies have been identi- fied with any certainty. The first is that of Andrew Heldgren, a middle-aged Norwegian, who was lured from his home at Aberdeen, in South Dakota, by the expectation of marriage with a wealthy widow, and whose body was the first to be unearthed. The second is that of Mr Budsberg, iin elderly farmer from lola, Wisconsin. The same bait had brought him to his death. The last of the three identified bodies is that of Jennie Olson, a fifteen-year- old girl, the adopted daughter of Mrs Gunness. All the remaining seven, whose bodies this terrible garden yielded up, were those of men, with a single exception, and when that is said all that is known of them has been written. That all ten of these were murdered there is no doubt. As to the four whose corpses were found beneath the ruins of the house on the morning of April 28th there is some doubt. Three of them were the children of this Norwegian arch- fiend—two girls and a boy, viz., Myrtle. aged 11, Lucy, aged 9, and Philip, aged 5. In the identity of the fourth body lies the solution of the problem. Nobody ever saw Heldgren again, until his lime-eaten body was dug up last Tuesday. In the meantime, Heldgren had deposited in the bank of La Porte the £600 he brought with him from his home at Aberdeen. Late in Janu- ary, the bank records show that he drew out all this cash, but not a dollar of it has ever been accounted for. Nobody doubts that Belle Gunness got it all right. Budsberg Came Wooing. Mr Budsberg's body has been identified by his two sons. They say that he got into cor- respondence with Mrs dunness by means of a matrimonial advertisement in a Scandinavian paper, just as Mr Heldgren did, though when Mr Heldgren began his gruesome courtship his1 predecessor's body had been for months rotting amid the quicklime in that garden of horror. Budsberg finally succumbed to the seductive letters of Belle Gunness in the month of March, 1907. Him, too, the neighbours saw driving to Mrs Gunness's farm behind the same dapple grey marc. Him, too, they saw a number of times wandering about the farm with his sinis- ter sweetheart, and once or twice they observed the strange pair drive by on their way to the town. But presently thevsaw him no more. The only trace of Mr Budsberg left on the town of La Porte was, as in the case of Mr Heldgren, a financial transaction. He and Mrs Gunness went together to the local savings bank, and arranged through that bank and the Farmers' Savings Bank of lola, Wisconsin, that a mortgage collection of £200 should be made. The collection was made. the money came, and the local bank placed it to Mr Buds- berg's credit. On April 6, 1907, Mr Budsberg drew. out the whole sum, and the account was closed. That was the last that La Porte saw of Mr Budsberg. To-day what is left of him reposes in another pine box beside the one that en- closes the remains of Mr Heldgren. Unsolved Mystery. Murder for revenue only was, apparently, the pMgion that eonsunxed widow (fuzuoeas j but whether she su.tosfcit.ufed fcho body of another woman to represent her own in the burning of her farm, or whether Iiamphere or somebody else is guilty of incendiarism, and the Nor- wegian woman, with all her drea.d secrets, was actually killed in the flames, remains as much a mystery to-day as ever. There are many cir- cumstances to support either theory. As to the absence of the head, those who believe that Mrs Gunness was burned to death say that the upper part of the woman's body found in the ruins was in an exceedingly hot place. One arm was crooked about the body of the youngest child. Both corpses were almost incinerated, as far as the backs were con- cerned, the spines being exposed and the shoulder-blades partly consumed. A finger ring, a buckle for a money belt, and a safe deposit vault key, all identified as personal belongings of Mrs Gunness, were found in the rnins near the body of the partly-incinerated woman. Sheriff Smutzer announces that be will en- deavour to procure additional evidence regard- ing the identity of the corpses found in the basement of the bumed house. With this object, he has employed a miner to sluice the ashes in the cellar, in the hope that addi- tional metallic relics of Mrs Gunness will be found. The gold filling which she is said to have had in several of her teeth is to be the especial object of this search. The New York World's correspondent telegraphs :—Everyone except the police is becoming convinced Mrs Gunness died in flames which destroyed three children. Ring and keys which were found on the adult body have beyond doubt been identified as belonging to Mrs Gunness, though this fact does not necessarily prove that the victim of the fire is the murderess. More than fifteen thousand persons paid a visit to the farm yesterday, and the railway which serves La Porte gave special excursion rates to visitors from the surrounding country. Trunk with Documents. The police have been tracing the doings of the arrested farm hand, Ray Lamphere, who was employed by Mrs Gunness, and they found in a barn six miles away a trunk belonging to him filled with documents. The precise nature of all the documents is withheld, but among the papers in the trunk are sixty letters from Mrs Gunness to Lamphere. One has been made public, which contains this sugges- tive line :—Bring your sweetheart to the farm if she has got money enough to be interesting. Probably one of the urudentified female bodies.represents this sweetheart. Lamphere, when told of the discovery of this shrunk, became wildly excited and almost swooned. When he recovered his calmness he demanded to have a lawyer sent to him at once. It is believed a confession will be forced from him before long. It was one of the famous Pinkerton detec- tives who found this trunk, and the documents have started a score of clues which are now being energetically followed.
PONTYPRIDD FAILURE.
PONTYPRIDD FAILURE. Registrar and a Debtor. Illness, neglect of business, and losses by betting and specula ting." were the chief causes assigned by Albert Henry Fussell, wholesale confectioner, Pontypridd, who underwent his public examination at the local Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday, before Registrar Spickett. Debtor (who was represented by Mr Charles Matthews) returned his gross liabilities at £70610s 6d, with a deficiency of £602 Is 2d. The Official Receiver (Mr Ellis Owen) intimated that, whilst debtor's accounts showed that he had purchased £375 of goods from the 1st No- vember to the 17th March, it now transpired that for a less period—December 1st to Feb- ruary-goods ad heen ordered to the extent of at least £427153 ld. The debtor had admit- ted that he really had no idea as to how much the purchases amounted to, nor could he give any idea as t o the money he had lost by bet- ting transactions. The Official Receiver The case is a very serious one. Deb or is not disclosing his affairs at all, and can give no account of his betting and speculations. The Registrar (to debtor) As far as I can see, there is something like £600 of goods re- ceived by you from creditors between January and March. It would be very hard for me to believe that you don't know anything about JE600 worth of goods. The Official Receiver remarked that debtor did not seem to have any difficulty in meeting his creditors last year, but all the JE600 worth of goods had disappeared, and there was JE600 deficiency. The case was adjourned for an amendment of accounts.
