CROWDS OF PLEASURE-FOLK. Doings in South Wal es. CARDIFF. Fine weather favoured the Whitsun Bank Holiday in Cardiff and South Wales generally. In the morning the clouds appeared at times rather threatenine, but they cleared before noon, and the rest of the day was charac- terised by brilliant sunshine, though there was a somewhat cool north-westerly w g'd blowing. Thousands of excursionists from all parts of the surrounding districts visited Cardiff during the day, and the exodus from the city to the country was almost as great so that at all the railway stations there was heavy traffic. On the Great Western Railway traffic was abnormally heavy, especially so from the valleys above Llantrisant, and also by the excursion trains run for the day from the Midlands. On the Rhymney there were 26 pecial trains run up the line, inclu ding 20 for Sunday school parties to Caerphilly, Llanishen, Ystradmynacli, etc., and there were six specials down the line. On the Taff Vale Railway also the traffic was abnormal, there being 34 specials down the line. The first of these returned at 5 o'clock, and from this time In and throughout the evening trains were despatched up the line every few minutes. The Cardiff parks were crowded, and there was an unusually large number of people in the streets, the accommodation of the tram- cars being taxed to the uttermost. As usual, a feature of the day was the large number of Sunday school treats, and many van and train loads of merry children were taken for the day to Llanishen, Llandaff, Dinas Powis, St. Fagans, and other places. Large numbers of people also took a blow on the Channel, and on the Barry line traffic was abnormally heavy in this connection. The several important conferences taking place in the city were responsible for the un- familiar dialects heard in the streets, and for at intervals in the day materially adding to the pedestrian congestion.

There was a big influx, and a corresponding exodus, of people, the resources of the rail- ways being severely taxed. In the morning the streets were thronged, and in the after- noon the Mumbles was a favourite rendezvous, while the sands and the parks were also largely resorted to. The bulk of the Sunday school treats were held, all routes leading to the country being made picturesque with the wag- gon loads of happy school children being con- veyed to and from their various centres of en- joyment.

Since the death of her husband, a notary, who was killed in an accident, she withdrew from the world, receiving no one, and passing the time in thinking of her late husband, and no one can remember the doors of her house being opened. Her death also releases, it is said, a great collection of artistic works.

Brandy in the Locker. CARDIFF CONSTABLE "CARPETED." MAN WITH A BIRTHDAY. P.C. John Bowden (23A) was reported to the Cardiff Watch Committee on Wed- nesday for having a bottle of brandy in his possession and neglecting to work the principal points of his beat. The case revealed some unusual circumstances. Inspector R. Davies stated that finding the constable's locker locked with the key taken away, which was contrary to regulations, he had it opened and there found an unopened bottle of brandy,which Bowden acknowledged to be his, saying that it had been given to him the previous night by a young man whose name he did not know. Councillor Stanfield elicited from witness that the search was indirectly the outcome of in- quiries concerning an allegation made in the police court by a woman who had been charged with robbery from the person in Cathays Park. Witness was not prepared to go so far as to say that there was any suspicion against Constable Bowden. Councillor Stanfield But was he not re- moved for it from his beat to another part of the town ? Inspector Davies I cannot say. The super- intendent can answer that, sir. Supt. Hayward The removal had nothing to do with that woman's' charge. Councillor Stanfield Has this constable not asked for an investigation into that matter. Supt. Hayward No, sir but he had made a statement. This matter of the brandy would not be brought before the committee but would have been left for the Chief Constable's re- turn if it had not been for the charge of ne- glecting duty which followed. Inspector John Davies then stated that for 40 minutes he could not find the constable on his beat at night on the 31st of May. He then saw him come from the direction of Quay- street. Constable Bowden's defence was that he met a young man in a happy, elevated, but not drunk condition late at night near the en- trance to the chief police station in Cathays Park. The man offered him a drink saying he had been celebrating his birthday. Knowing it was an offence to take drink whilst on duty he did not accept the offer, whereupon the man pulled out an unopened bottle of brandy and said take this and drink my health when you are off duty." This," added the con- stable, "I took without thinking I was doing wrong in accepting it. I thought it might prove useful for home use in the winter. I put it in my locker, turned the key, and took the key with me. There are other lockers there without the keys in and these are locked. I did not think I was committing a serious offence." "Tith reference to the neglect of duty the constable's answer was that he was worried a lot over being reported for taking the brandy, and spent more time in coming through the arcade than he should have done. He was, however, not off his beat at all. Several sharp passages-at-arms then took place between Councillor Stanfield and Coun- cillor Seccombe, the latter asking several questions of the constable as to why the gift should have been made to him, was there any- thing in the nature of a bribe about it, and was there a woman in the case, all of which Coun- cillor Stanfield strongly resented as being "too thick in suggestion." The constable stated that there was no one about, that the man was not drunk, and that he could find no other explanation of the gift than that the man was in a very happy mood. Councillor Stanfield That's all right. How could you expect him to know what the other. man thought. Such questions would not have been allowed in a court of justice. Now let us look at this candidly and fairly. I see a stripe on your sleeve. Was that for neglecting your duty ? No, sir," was the reply. "It is for good con- duct." Councillor Seccombe wanted to know some- thing about the career of P C. Bowden since he joined the force, whereupon Councillor Stanfield said they should first decide whether they thought he was guilty-that was the English way of doing things. Councillor Taylor But he has admitted the allegations. Councillor Stanfield Yes, he has admitted the offences, but what are they ? The mere possession of a bottle of brandy, unopened, was surely not a serious offence such as tak- ing drink on his beat would have been, and there was cause for the man being worried, too, for he had been placed under suspicion, or why had he been removed to another beat ? To Supt. Hayward Mr Stanfield asked, Is there any desire to get this man out of the force ?"—" No, sir," was the reply. Councillor Seccombe Before deciding what to do I should like to be guided by what the acting chief constable says. Councillor Stanneld I wouldn't give two- pennyworth of gin for that. You should be guided by your own opinions. Don't let us be such hypocrites. Are you going to crucify a man because he h¥ got an unopened bottle of brandy in his locker ? Councillor Seccombe I am not a hypocrite, Mr Stanfield. It is against the rules to have a bottle of brandy there. Councillor Stanfield Oh, and to lock a locker when keys are supplied too. You would crucify him. Let him that is without sin cast the first stone. Councillor Taylor The man has admitted the offence. I protest against Mr Stanfield's remarks. I can do my duty as fearlessly as Mr Stanfield. Councillor Stanfield I was not talking about you, Mr Taylor. It was decided to hear the record of the constable, andjSupt. Hayward said he had been twice previously reported for neglect of duty. The first time he had not discovered a window open, and the second time he was off his beat and fined three days' pay. Councillor Stanfield: What does the law allow you to do to him—to hang him ? Councillor Seccombe Don't talk like that. You are talking like a child—a silly child, too. Councillor Stanfield: You are the first man to throw a stone but not a stone, it's a brick. Don't you try it on me a second time, Mr Sccombe, or I'll say something. Councillor Seccotnbe You can say what you like. After further discussion it was resolved ,on the proposition of Councillor Taylor, seconded by Councillor Stanfield, to censure Constable Bowden and to warn him that future neglect of duty would be severely dealt with." Councillor Stanfield; What abont the brandy ? Supt. Hayward said it was proposed to re- tain possession of that pending the return of the chief constable, who would decide whether it should be returned to P.C.Bowden or sold in the annual sale of property found by the police. Councillor Stanfield's final shot was, You have no right to detain it. You might be prosecuted for theft. It is clearly the property of the constable."

Speech by Lord Cawdor. I HOUSE OF LORDS DEFENDED. I Criticism of Government Policy. PEMBROKESHIRE CONSERVATIVES' ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Pembrokeshire Conservative Association was held at Haver- ford west on Tuesday. Lord Cawdor, the president, said he desired to refer to the change which had Come over the country since the last General Election. One had, he said, only to allow Ministers enough rope and they would carry out their own despatch. He did not think there was ever before such a case of a Government returned by an overwhelming majority so soon losing the confidence of the country. They had an extraordinary position with regard to legislation. Lord Kensington and he belonged to one branch of the Legis- lature which had been more advertised by the present Government than any Gov- ernment of past years. They threatened to force them to pass certain measures which they had not the slightest intention of passing. The Education Bill was rejected because it was founded upon injustice, and injustice was not a thing which any party in this country loved. It aimed a blow at Church teaching and "the Church schools. The House of Lords demanded equal treatment for every denomi- nation, and insisted that children should get that religious teaching which the parents desired. The second Bill had disappeared, and if the House of Lords bad passed the first a' Bill they would have passed a Bill which, on the Government's own showing, was not founded on right principles. Again, the Licen- sing Bill was founded on injustice, and he did not think that would pass. The people of this country did not mean to act unfairly but the Government seemed quite unable to cure any evil, any grievance, without at the same time injuring someone else. As to old age pensions, if persons were to go through the regulations through which the pensions were to be obtained, he was not sure that anyone would succeed in getting them. The Government, said his Lordship, had no business to play with a question of this sort; they must not appear to give a pension with one hand and withhold it with the other. He did not think the Budget was a straightforward form of finance. Earl Cawdor said he hoped that the question of the Army wpnld be solved by the TerritoriaJ scheme, but it must not be forgotten that many efficient troops had been wiped out.

London Crimes. P0WERLESSNES8 OF POLICE. Grave Discontent. Great discontent exists in London at the in I ability of the police to track the murderer of the little girl Marie Bailes. Twelve days have elapsed since the crime was discovered. In that time 1,000 detectives I have been kept searching for the murderer, but without result. The problem that the police were set to solve is not considered a difficult one. The man has been seen, and a description of him circulated. The newspapers have helped the police in every way. Yet the disquieting fact remains. There are at least half a dozen murderers whom Scotland Yard cannot trap. Late on Wednesday Scotland Yard received the following letter from Dr. Forbes Winslow, the great mental specialist:— That there is an epidemic for murdering chil- dren at the present time there is no possible doubt. The chief and important point ap- pears to be how to arrest the murderer, or murderers, and stop what is shocking society. In my opinion the perpetrator of such crimes is a dangerous homicidallullatic now at large. I believe that he could be easily run to earth were the proper steps taken. I might remind you that when" Jack the Ripper" was carrying on his murderous career I traced the man from London to his lodging and asked for some assistance from Scotland Yard tofurther aid me in arresting the man. This was declined, though I was told by the authorities that what I suggested was well worthy of consideration, and had per- mission as a private individual to carry into operation my plan of action. This I declined and stated that unless I re- ceived the assistance asked for I should publish my clue in the morning newspapers. This I subsequently did, with the result that from that time to the present murders of the ripper type ceased to be committed. I have investigated this late affair (I allude to the Islington tragedy), have interviewed the fellow children and heard their contradictory accounts of some imaginary person who was stated to have been seenvhanging about the school yard. I am of opinion that the real murderer was not the person who deposited the parcel. I also believe that by a little common sense out of the usual red-tapism, and the regarding the murder of a different type, and therefore requiring different plans of investigation from ordinary crimes, that there would not be the least difficulty in capturing, without further delay, the actual murderer. _L Jtseyona tnis l nave no intention or saymg further in the matter. In trying to capture a murderous lunatic different plans must be adopted to those which would be adopted in capturing an ordinary criminal.

She had been stabbed the neck, seven or eight deep wounds haviw. W been inflicted with some sharp instruroeo.; J which from the size and position of the g*8 -J U seemed to have been a pen-knife. The fPF jSt was clasping in her hands the purse, whic. contained a few coppers, change out of tf paymentshehad made on behalf of her gra» mother a few minutes before.. g fj/ There were signs of a struggle, .ijj bushes round being bespattered blood, and the grass and wild-flowers on ground trampled on and crushed.

The police at Alton kj communicated with, and search parties W0*° organised to beat the woods around for of the murderer. 19 } Blackmoor itself contains less than 100 so^_ all told, and it soon became evident that t& crime was the work of a stranger. The quirios of the police were directed to the d^ covery of any strangers who might have be^ seen in the village during the morning. A CAMP ARREST. Soon their inquiries were narrowed tj and suspicion pointed to a soldier from Botd^ jjv Camp, two and a half miles away, who been seen going towards Blackmoor | the morning. f i The police went to Borden Camp, where » made investigations.

were entertained by the Hon. Ivor Guest, M.P., at the Andrews Hall, where refresh- ments and music were provided. The mem- ber for Cardiff was accompanied by Lady Wimborne, Mrs Guest being unavoidably absent, and amongst others present were Alderman F. J. Beavan, Alderman Robert Hughes, Mr and Mrs F. H. Jotham, Mr and Mrs Lester Jones, Councillor and Mrs Sec- combe, Mr and Mrs Evan Owen, and Mr and Mrs Evan Jones. The Grand Master and Mrs_ Dempsey were at the head of the table. The Hon. Ivor Guest gave the visi.tors a cordial welcome, and hoped their stay in the I city would be enjoyable. Referring to the Government's old age pension proposals, he said they were not intended as a deterrent to thrift, but rather as an encouragement to it. I He hoped this and other Friendly Societies would be able to offer suggestions to the Government. At present the Government's scheme was largely experimental, and he was certain the Government would be only too glad to receive such recommendations as the experience of Friendly Societies showed be desirable. (Applause.) Lady Wimborne, in a neat speech, which was received with the greatest enthusiasm, also welcomed the visitors. She expressed her deep sympathy with the Friendly Society movement, which, she believed, elevated its members. To put by for sickness gave a man independence and self-respect. The best thing a man could do was to make provision in his active years for his wife and family. Applause.) Mr W. POWELL, P.C.S-, Rhondda District. The Grand Master, in proposing a cordial vote of thanks to the Hon. Ivor and Mrs Guest and Lady Wimborne, said he did so with the sincerity and heartiness of a Lancashire man. With regard to the hon. mefhber's remarks in reference to old age pensions, he hoped he would use his influence in Parlia- ment to so mould the Government's old age pension scheme as to remove from it anything likely to be detrimental to the interests of the Friendly Society movement. Those who the Friendly Society movement. Those who made provision by paying into Friendly Societies ought not to be penalised by having this taken into account. He w&s grateful to the Government for its good intentions. All he wanted was that the member for Cardiff should use his influence to see that the scheme did not prejudice those who made provision for old age through the medium of Friendly Societies. He went on to refer with gratitude to Lady Wimborne for her kindness in being present, and her speech, which showed that her sympathies were with the humblest members of the community. (Ap- plause.) In conclusion,'he invited the member for Cardiff and Lady Wimborne to pay a visit to the A.M.C. Bro. Ben Kelvington (Deputy Grand Master) seconded. Mr T. G. DAY, 0.8., Neath District- (Moseley.) Bro. Evan Jones (chairman of the A.M.C. committee), in heartily supporting, said when they approached the Hon. Ivor Guest for his assistance in connection with the conference he expressed his willingness to do everything he could to render their gathering pleasant and worthy of the capital of the Principality. They were particularly gratified by the pre- sence of Lady Wan borne, who had thus given one more proof of her deep concern for any project which had for its object the leaving of the world a little better than it was found. (Applause.) The vote was passed with great enthusiasm. FINANCES OF THE UNITY. Eighth Valuation-Interim Report The Animal Movable Conference of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows was resumed at Cardiff on Wednesday, Grand Master Alfred Dempsey presiding. BrO. E. Bourne moved on behalf of the directors that provincial secretaries keep a register of the members of all lodges in the district, to contain particulars necessary to check lodge returns. There was some opposi- tion to the proposal, which it was contended was neither necessary nor desirable. The motion was carried. Bro. Banham (Norwich) moved an addition to rule with regard to the assurance of mem- ber?' wives that the contribution payable to a district by the widow of a deceased member should not be more than the sum payable at the age of 50, the balance payable to the dis- trict in respect of the widow to be paid by the lodge to which her deceased husband belonged. Mr Watson (the actuary) advised the confer- ence to reject the proposal, urging that they could not extend such a concession to a widow without requiring her to pay an adequate contribution for a new assurance. They could not engraft this provision upon the rules with out creating a liability which was in no sense covered by the tables of contributions. Mr JOHN JENKINS, C.S., Cardiff District— I- (Long.) Bro. Rushforth (Rotherham) supported the motion, expressing surprise that a widow at 8( should be required to pay more for a single assurance than they had asked from the hus. band during the whole of his life. The motion was lost. Bro. Wright (director) moved that a district meeting have power to sanction more than on( meeting place for a lodge where special loca circumstances made it desirable that, such sanction should be given. There was som( objection to holding rpeetings in licensed pre mises, while others favoured meetings on suet premises, contending they were more sociabl< -and better attended. There was much to b( said on both sides. With this rule in operatioi tliey would be able to suit both classes o .members. The rule would be useful whei lodges wished to amalgamate. The motion was carried unanimously. Directors' Report. Bro. Wright (Reading^ moved the adoption of the clause in the report of the Cran( Master and Board of Directors dealing wit] the numerical position of the society, and ii 80 doing said it was the most satisfactory for several years past. The net increase wa not, perhaps, so great as they could desire. The decrease in the juvenile membership was a disquieting feature, but it was probably more apparent than real. The most gratifying feature was the decrease in the number of secessions, and hp understood that this feature was peculiar to the Manchester Unity. They were hopeful that the propaganda work undertaken during the year by their active members was bearing fruit. They must keep on fighting for amendments of the Friendly Societies Acts, so as to deny the right. of i-egistration to societies whose tables were not properly certified and whose affairs were not subject to actuarial valuation. Mr REES REES, C.S., Swansea District.— (Roberts. Monmouthshire Districts. During consideration of the directors' report dealing with amalgamation, it appeared the amalgamation of the Blackwood and Ponty- pool districts had been under consideration, but no arrangement had been come to, Black- wood, which had only four lodges, all of which were in a deficiency on the last valua- tion, objecting. Bro. Dan Jones (Blackwood) said they con- sidered it unfair to be tacked on to Pontypool owing to its geographical position. They had one lodge close to Newport, and preferred to amalgamate with the Newport district, which he believed was willing to receive them. There were three or four small districts in the same neighbourhood, and he suggested the ad- visability,of forming four or five small dis- tricts in Monmouthshire into one good dis- trict. He moved the directors take this sug- gestion into consideration, and it was agreed to. P.G.M. W. R. GIDDING8, Newport-District St. Nicholas Warned. The suggested amalgamation of St. Nicholas and Llancarvan with Cardiff in one district 1 having failed, through the refusal of St. Nicholas to join therein, the directors re- ported the matter to the A.M.C., with a view to instruction as to compulsory amalgamation. It was stated that the amalgamation of the Llancarvan with an adjoining district was necessarv and that Cardiff was the most suit- able. St: Nicholas comprised only two lodges, but it was situated between the Llancarvan and Cardiff districts. Llancarvan had agreed to the proposal, but St. Nicholas stood out. It was proposed and seconded that unless St. Nicholas complied with the requirements of the directors before November next it be re- ported to the 1909 A.M.C. for expulsion. Bro. Jenkins (St. Nicholas) said they were resolved, rather than be forced into the amalgamation, to leave the Manchester Unity, therefore he begged the conference to allow them to remain a district of their own. Bro. Dewar (Cardiff) repudiated the idea that Cardiff wanted to sacrifice St. Nicholas. They did not want St. Nicholas, but it was simply ridiculous' that a place like St. Nicholas should stand between Cardiff and Llancarvan as a district. The resolution was carried almost unanimously. Late Grand Master Hughes. On resuming after luncheon resolutions were passed expressing regret at the loss through death of Past Grand,Masters Tom Hughes, of IJaneUy, and Edward Lukey, of Dover. The directors, in reference to the former, reported that he was elected a member of the board of directors in 1895 at Swansea A.M.C. and con- tinued as a member till 1906, when owing to ill- ness he was unable to attend the meetings of the board, and was not again nominated as a candidate. He presided with conspicuous tact and ability over the Portsmouth A.M.C., and the directors had communicated to Mrs Hughes their regret at the loss of an esteemed and genial colleague and their sympathy with herself and family. l P.G.M. JOHN H. LEWIS, Pontypridd. (Frekc, Cardiff.) I Eighth Valuation. The directors stated they hoped that by the end of 1908 the eighth valuation would have been completed and ready for the A.M.C. of 1909. Summarising their results of the valuation of sections A and B, comprising the counties from Bedford to Monmouth in- clusive, the actuaries said these were so far very satisfactory. The total surpluses amounted to £ 664,413, and total deficiencies to £ 445,672, leaving a balance or net surplus of £ 218,741. The corresponding figures on the seventh valuation were :—Total surpluses, £549,690; total deficiencies, £544,409; balance or net surplus, £5,281. This comparison spoke for itself. The directors went on to.record their opinion that this interim report was of a most satisfactory character, and they confi- dently looked forward with pleasurable antici- pation for the results of the complete valua- tion. „ Relief for Rhymney. The directors recommended that the appli- cations for relief made by the Sylfaen Y Craig, ) Good Intent, and Caradoc lodges, Rhymney I district, be granted to the extent of £ 10 per member and E5 per member's wife, and that the remainder of the applications, regarding the Gwenynen Gwent and Cadwallon lodges, t be deferred pending the results of the next » valuation. It was stated that two years ago I a deputation visited the district and fore- t shadowed Unity relief, and the recommenda- i tion of the directors was adopted, subject to certain things being carried out by the district. 1 Centenary of the Unity. Bro. Warren (a director), referring to the I fact that the Unity would complete its cen- tenarv in October, 1910, said they were all 1 hoping to celebrate the auspicious event in a way that would do credit to the Order. The directorsliad decided to ask the A.M.C. to approve of a demonstration on the Wednesday of the A.M.C. week of 1910, and that the dis- a tricts be recommended to hold local de- l monstrations on any subsequent date during tl the same year, the form of such demonstra- n tions to be suggested by the districts. v The directors' recommendation was carried s by a large majority. I
