I The Presader/t at the outset referred to tAbe losses recently srusrtamed in the dmths Cd Mj. E, L. B-ehenna and Mr. Arthur Thomae. Mr. was one of the lead- Big iri^rcnanite of the port, and had done a vast amount of work in furthering the trade of Swansea. He was possessed of a, busi ness abidiy which no doubt they would hgu-ve, been glad to possess. His lots was a loss to Swansea uadioubtedly. and he thought they ahcrjid convey to Mais. Be henna and family the sincere Ltí tJh.ey fe.lt. )11'. they i' alt.

RAILWAY DELAYS. i The President, in moving the adoption, referred to the congestion at the docks, whaoh was a very serious matter for indi- viduals, the port and the railway compan- ies, and it WM desirable no ston'c should be left unturned to impress the rail-waywom- panies with regard to the position. The de- lays and congestion were ae bad as ever, and he hoped the remedy would soon be ap- plied. Apart from that he thought they could congratulate themselves upon the pro- gress made by the port. The trade was a rocc,rd-over seven million tons—and that would be increased but for the delays and the strikes, the silliest of which were the sympathetic strikes, and he hoped the work- men would see the uaeleasneee of euch stop- pages. (Hear, hear.) As regards the trim- mers' Saturday afternoon there waa an agreement entered into but subsequently the men followed the lead of others in the Brie- tol Channel. In too many ca.se3 agreements were broken when it suited the workmen's aides. Alluding to the High-street Station, and railway running generally, the President- said it was a very rare ooounence for trains to run direct to Swansea from Landore. And often it took long to get from there I 38 from Bridgend or Port Talbot. He knew of customers who would meet Swansea men fit Cardiff, but who would not come to Swan- sea on account of the delays, and it was a serious matter. He alluded, too, with sat- isfaction, to the recognition of the Chamber by the Government in the shape of the Tele- phone Advisory Committee, upon which the Chamber lias representation. Mr. Hyam Goldberg seconded, and said the surplus of income over expenditure last year was £412..and last year the subscrip- tions were double, compared with previous I subscriptions. The report was adopted. I The President proposed the election of Sir I A. Mond, M.P., as president, in accordance with the Council of the Chamber's recom- mendation. Mr. T. P. Cook seconded and said they were all agreed upon "the gentleman's iftness for the officio. < THERE HAD BEEN A DISCUSSION, not upon Sir A.

In the oouree of further evidenoe at the I Dublin riots inquiry on Thursday, Mrs. Leainan, tenant of Corporation buildings, de- ¡ clared that police broke into her dwelling, shouting "We will have men or blood." Her daughter took refuge in the lavatory. The police followed and dragged her out by the hair, pulling her right and left. Witness was flung aside, and the police then threw a trunk a.nd some chairs out of the house. They also knocked oven- an altar. Mrs. Callaghan said police broke into her I dwelling and batoned her husband, who was ill. Their little girl put up her hand and cried, "Oh, don't kill dada," when a police- man struck the child with his truncheon over the knuckles, which were swollen for days, and the tenant said that she seized the policeman's baton as he was attacking her, and the latter then made his escape through the window, his clothes being torn ) off.

BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. SWANSEA TRAWLERMAN AND THE BOOTS. A fireman named Thomas Price, aged 45, was charged at Swansea Police Court on Friday with the theft of a pair of sea boots and a rug, the property of Arthur Raven, fisherman, from the trawler Aarroth Castle, on January 15, as well as another rug belonging to W. R. Evans, another fisher- man, total value E2 S&. 7d. Ra,ven spoke to returning to the trawler to find the fore- castle door forced and the goods gone. Miss Cohen, daughter of Barnet Cohen, seamen's outfitter, Beaufort Arches, and Mary Jones, Fishguard Arms, spoke' to defendant going about with the goods in a bundle offering them for sale. Miss Cohen declined to make a purchase, and Mrs. Jones said that whilst in the Fishguard Price's companion went out, and returning presently told Price that he had sold the sea boots for 8s., and offered to sell the rug for 3s.—P.C. Griffiths said that when charged Price said he was innocent.—Evans, the second complainant, spoke to the fore- castle being forced and his rug taken. Defendant, on being charged with receiv- ing a rug, knowing it to have been stolen, pleaded not guilty, and said he never had t>w rug in his possession. He explained they were short of a. man at the trawler, and his companion, whom he had never seen before, came down. Defendant gave him a "treat" and a dinner, after he had "rose" 7s. 6d. out of his pay. He was fairly cthink, he admitted. The Bench considered there was a strong doubt in the case, and gave defendant the benefit of it.
FREEZING OUT HOSPITALS.
FREEZING OUT HOSPITALS. LONDON STRIKERS' MOVE. London is at present in the throes of a coal strike; the coal porters have struck, and their number liave been raised to 13,000 by wharf men who deal with water-borne coal coming out. The men claim ld. a ton rise the employers say they earif good money already— £ 2 or more a week. Meanwhile general indignatioc has been caused in Lon- don by the following statement by Mr. J. Hopkin, the porters' secretary Wo have had a lot of applications this morning from hospitals, charities, etc., for permits for supplying them with coal, but after discussing the matter fully the execu- tives of both unions have passed the follow- ing resolution In view of the fact that this dispute in the coal trade is not of the union's seeking, we recommend hospitals and other institutions who are asking for so many thousands of tons of coal—as much as 400 tons in one instance alone--to ap- proach the Coal Merchants' Society im- mediately. While we have every sym- pathy with the sick and suffering we can- not at this juncture grant any permission to any one." Jt so happened that as soon as the joint executive had decided that hospitals, in- firmaries, and charitablo institutions must go without their coal, two begrimed men presented themselves to the secretary of the CoaJ Porters' Union, Mr. Hopkin. From a pocket one of them took a note, which, I signed by the manager of Charrington, Sells, Dale and Co., was touched in the following terms "Dear Sir,—Please grant a permit To our loaders for loading and delivering of coal (four tons) to the Seamen's Hospi- tal at Albert Dock." "WILFUL MURDER. I The request was promptly negatived. There is no permit to be granted to any one, was written on the back of the note. None of the hospitals?" asked one of the men in surprise. No," rejoined the secretary A third man who hailed from Pimlioo in. tervened. Why, it's wilful murder," he exclaimed. "War is declared," said the secretary solemnly. It's .:mrder for the masters to, keep our men out." A cruel verdict, that's what I call it," declared the man from Pimlico as he turned away. Me and my mates at bum marl, Pimlico, don't belong to the society, but v.-? helped the others by coming out on strike. I bet you a thousand pounds to a penny you'll find us at work to-morrow, and any hospital vans that liko to come alone we'll load if we have to work all night. Prices have gone up chiefly in the poorer districts of London, and at some hospitals the medical students are unloading the coal L ClUte.

Gage (who succeeds Mrs. Haydn Parry as secretary) then read the twenty- seventh annual report, which showed that during tho past year the work had increased and 24 more girls had been taken in than the previous year. Consequently more money and clothes were needed, and an appeal was made to those present for further help. Any left-off clothing and boots were always found useful at the Shelter. Sir John Llewelyn said the report was very satisfactory, amd expressed appreciation and thanked all the ladies who took part in the work. It had his full and entire sym- pathy, but kZO MORE A YEAR WAS NOW I REQUIRED for continuing the work, and this he felt sure would be forthcoming. Sir John moved the adoption of the report, which was sec- onded by Rev. H. J. Sandheim and carried. There was an idea prevailing, the Rev. H. J. Sandheim said, that the Shelter was sec- tarian. He wished to dispel this idoo, as it I was not bO, :1.00 he hoped all denominations would make it their interest and help in the work. The financial statement was then read by Mrs. H. J. Thomas, which was received and adopted. SistM- Spencer's excellent report of work a, one was als4 adopted amd carried. The General Committee was re-elected. r. Joseph Hall moved that the hon. offi- cers be appointed, and thanked those re- signing. for the excellent work they had done, viz., Mrs. H. J. Thomas (whom Mrs. Hcrschell Jones succeeds as treasurer) Mrs. Ha-ydn Pairy (succeeded by Mrs. F. Gage ao secretary), Dr. J. Rawlings (medical ofiicer) Air. W. Smith (solicitor), Mr. Cawker (whose death they lamented) being succeeded by his nephew, Mr. F. Cawker, as auditor. Rev. J. H. Harrison seconded the resolution. Mr. Goldberg moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor for allowing the meeting to be held at the Guildhall, and to the Mayoress for entertaining those present to tea. llPu. the Rev. Talbot Rice accorded j thanks to Sir John amd Lady Llewelyn for presiding and their presence that afternoon, and also for his interest and sympathy, which was always extended to any good work. Tea was then partaken of, under the au- pervision of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fitt. WHAT IS BEING DONY. 0 I I Imposing Figures from the Reports. ine annual report said the work of the institution had increased in many ways, and there had been 24" more girls in the home, more money and clothing being needed. 1913 began with a deficit of JB20, which was reduced at the close of the year to 16s. 7d., but £ 30 a year more income was needed There were exactly 100 girls dn the shelter in 1913, of whom 49 had been placed in ser- vice, nine sent to training homes, 27 re- stored to parents or friends, two ran away, aId four left voluntarily, the remainder be,- ing in the Home or at the Workhouse Infirm- I wry.

Enoourag- ing reportB had been received of some of the cases treated at the home in past years. The committee regretted to report the loss, by death, of a number of supporters, and the resignation of Mrs. Haydn Parry, as secre- tary, and Mrs. H. J. Thomas, for three years hon. treasurer, and gratefully acknowledged the servioes of Dr. Rawlings, Mr. W. P. S'mith, and Mr. F. Cawker for their honor- ary servioes, and also the Corporation (who only charges a nominal rent for the Homes). The hon auditor's (Mr. F. G. Cawker) re- port showed an incomei of R,303 4s. 5d.

'Others were school girls or married women. There had been 500 visits to sick and fallen women, and 160 girls and women had slept AT THE NIGHT SHELTER, Some were brought by the police, who found girls wandering about in the streets at mid- night: some had been brought by parente on finding them commencing to go wrong. Eleven girls who ran away from home had been restored to their family. Twenty- seven slept at the shelter through losing their train. Amongst the cases dealt with at this institution were those of a girl who had lost her memory; a girl of 16 who had been decoyed into a life of shame by a m&T- ried woman, and was restored to her par- ents, whilst in a third case a girl was res- cued at one of the mission services held for fallen women in the Strand lodging-houses and was now doing, well in London.

REVOLVER BATTLE !
REVOLVER BATTLE IN NEW YORK STREET. WILD SHOOTING AT MOTOR- CAR. A sensational revolver duel between the I police and the occupants of a large tourmg car was (says a special correspondent of the Birmingham Post ") witnessed by pedes- trJans in Broadway, New York's famous Great White Way," yesterday morning. Attention was first directed to the car by a cry for help in a woman's voice, and a police- man stepped into he roadway and ordered the chauffeur to pull up. The man, however, disregarded the officer's order, and dashed into him, knocking him down, and after- wards going full speed up Broadway. Other policemen started in pursuit, and it was then seen there were two women ia the car, both of whom screamed loudly for help. The officers DREW THEIR REVOLVERS AND FIRED several times at the chauffeur, and also en- deavoured to puncture the tyres of the car, but before automobiles and motor-cycles could be requisitioned, the car had disap- peared. One of the womtii in her shouting is said oo have declared that she and her com- panion were being abducted by white slavers, and a score of policemen in motor-cars and motor-cycles are scouring the neighbour- hood in search of the missing car. Broadway at the time was crowded, and the affair naturally caused a big sensation. It was remarkable that nobody was struck by the bullets of the police, or that with the exception of the lirst officer, who was knocked down, no one was hurt by the reck- lesslv-driven car.
"UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS."
"UNQUALIFIED SUC- CESS." SWANSEA CONSERVA- TIVE RE-UNION. s The Conservative re-union held at the Albert Halls, Swansea, on Thursday night, under the joint auspices of the Senior and Junior Associations, the Primroee League, and the Salisbury Club, proved an unquali- fied Success, and all responsible for compil- ing so bright and attractive a programme de- serve to be heartily complimented. Not- withstanding that there were OVER ONE THOUSAND PRESENT I the halls were not uncomfortably crowded. The larger hall, after a capital concert, was set apart for dancing, while in the Minor Hall whist tournies were in active progress. The scheme of decorations—carried out by the wardens of the Primrose League—in- cluded a monster Union Jack stretching j right across the platform. The proceedings opened with a concert to which the follow- ing coitributod:-Mirs Violet Rees. Messrs. Dan Evans, Joe Dennis, S. H. Solomon, and Aif Thomas, the aocompanists being Messrs. S. W. Cooper and W. Charles. There fol- lowed a brief address by Mr. D. Villiers Meager (prospective candidate for Swansea Town) who was supported on the platform' by Ald. David Davies (chairman of the I Swansea Conservative Association), Messrs. J. Hillard (chairman of the Salisbury Clubl, Grey Walters (chairman of the CwmbwTla Ward), and J. Smith (secretary of the Vic- toria Wa.rd Association). Mr. Villiers Meager, who was heartily received, said it was just a year since they met before, and he waa pleased to say that thanks to the good work done by the Con- servative Association, the Salisbury Club, and the Primrose League—last, but not .I,ea,gt-the cause of Conservatism and Unionism had ADVANCED BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS I at Swansea.. (Applause.) They had made great progress- Since thftir last anmtal gathering their old friend and champion, Col. Wright-(Imid applause)—had been laid upon a bed of sickness, but he was pleased to tell them he was progressing very favourably, and they all hoped before very long to see him amongst them again. (Applause.) The political situation re- minded him somewhat of what once happened to a prisoner. The latter sent for the governor and complained of the kind of literature supplied—serials and stories "to be continued in our next." "Well." said the governor, "the stories are good and in- teresting; wha-t do you complain about?" "Its this," said the prisoner, "I'm going to be hanged next week and I can't finish them." (Laughter.) That was pretty much the PLIGHT OF THE PRESENT GOVERN-I MENT. Thera waa Mr. Lloyd George crying cut! for a smaller na.vy, and Mr. Churohill. on the other hand, wanted a big one. He could well imagine Mr. Asquith saying, "Why trouble your head about it? We are, all going to be hanged or kioked out in a. month or two." They (the Unionists) had had two very successful meetings in that hall during the past year-Ioord C. Beres- ford and Mr. Maxse. (Applause.) He un- detrstiCWd their opponents were going to have a meeting there before long, and the principal speaker would be Mr. Joe Develin, the hero of the Ancient Order of Hiber- nians, who, when charged with disloyalty to the Crown, gloried in the fact. Upon the proposition of Ald. D. Davies, ( seconded by Mr. Hillard. a hearty vote of thanks was i<x;corded Mr. Villiers Meager and the artistes. j Dancing was then indulged in to the strains of Mr. Cooper's band, "he M.C.'s I being Messrs. J. Hillard, F. J. AT. Chap- man, D. LI. Williams, and B. Bottomley. The whist steward was Mr. Alf George, and the catering was in the experienced hands of Mr. 0. J. Curran.

"HE TAUNTED ME."
"HE TAUNTED ME." STRUGGLE IN LON- DON FLAT. GIRL REMANDED ON SERIOUS CHARGE. Dramatic evidence was given at the Weet London Police Court on Thursday when Julia Decies, a woman of 26, of West Kensington Mansions, North-end-road, was charged on remand with attempting to murder Basil Piffard bv shooting him with a revolver and cutting his throat. It was stated that the injured man was improving and that the bullet had been extracted- Alice E. Mitchell said she had been the prisoner s servant since last July. They lived at Kew until four months ago. Witness thought Piffard, who lived with the accused, was her husband. They used the name of Mr. and Mrs. Gifford. About three o'clock on the morning of January 15 witness heard a smashing of glass and a banging on her door. She switched on the light in t-he kitchen and found "Mr. Gifford" kneeling and holding "Mrs. Gifford" down on the floor with one hand while he held the revolver out to wit- ness with the other. They were both COVERED WITH BLOOD. Vid either say anything *First he asked me to take the revolver. I put it outside the door. When I got back he was hold- ing her. I was going for a doctor when I noticed she had a table-knife in her left hand. I said, "Mind, 3he has a knife.' T tried to get it away, and the prisoner put it under her back. He said, "She haa tried to shoot me," when he gave me the revolver. She never said anything. Dr. J. T. Armstrong said he wag called about three o'clock and found the injured man still kneeling and holding the accused by the wrist. Ho had a wound-behind his left eye and a cut at the corner of his.mouth. He had two wounds in the neck, and hia fingers were cut. The woman had a small wound over her right cheek-bone, but no mark of a blow on the head. HE TAUNTED ME." Police-constable Winchcombe said Piffard, who was in bed, made a statement to him when he visited the flat in the early morn- ing. Decies, who was sitting on the floor of the kitchen with a quilt over her, made a statement about Piffard, adding, "He came back about a fortnight ago. Be then told me he was going to Paris with another young lady. and taunted me. I lost my temper and shot him. I meant doing for him, but the thing went wrong. I cut him with a knife when he struck me on the head. I was happy until he came back this time. Then my temper got the upper hand of me. so I must put up with the conse- quences. An assistant in a gunmaker's shop in the Strand said Decies bought the revolver on the afternoon of January 14 in the name of Mrs. Bowden. The accused, who looked pale aad ill, was again remanded.

| "BYASS HABITATION.' "BYASS HABITATION.. FORMED AT PORT TALBOT. SUCCESSFUL PRIMROSE LEAGUE FUNCTION. An enthusiastically attended meeting was held on Friday afternoon in the Masonio Temple. Port Talbot, with the object Dt forming a Primrose League Habitation fop Aht,ravc;n, Port Talbot, and that portion o. Cwmavon situated in the Swansea district. Aid. J. M. Smith, J.P., occupied tha chair, in the 11Ih8ent'o.f Tili fin H -ikyAwa,, J.P., and he was supported bv Mr. H. Lan. caster (Provincial Secretary for Wales alnd the West of England), Mr. J. B. Rcwlands (agent for Swansea district), and Mr. Thos. Thomas (agent for Mid-Glamorgan). Mr. J. B. Rowlands, in introducing th« object of the meeting, asked the question, Why should a Primrose League be formed?" He considered the answer was that the time had come when women should take a more sane part in promoting the policy of the Unionist party than they hact done in the past. By using the word "sane" he meant to apply more intelligent tactica than those embodied in the smashing of windows. ('Laughter and applause.) They were faced first of all with the attempt on the part of the Government to disestablish, disendow and dismember the Church of Eng land in Wales, and that wa.s the most s-eT1 ious pa.l't' of ridiculous measures put for. ward by the Government, and it was ice them to unite a.nd do everything in theia power to frustrate THESE SPOLIATION INTENTIONS. Mr. Lancaster then gave an excellent ad-, dress on the aims ."nd objects of the League, and remarked that they had now something like a million and' a half members on tha roll. Unfortunately under the old regima of the League they had found that people who were Radicals had the effrontery to sign the declaration and join the League, afterwards frankly admitting that they werg not i.n sympathy with the Unionist cause* A]thoug they h?i now become more politi- <?I, their principles remained the same. Thpy still had tii? fnamnt:ll prjn('ipl 48 tf, f, ?n which this great n:gm. sation stood. They did not look at reJ¡?"tJlt8 differences in a narrow sense. In such times I cf athiestic doctrines as the present, they shon Id ALL STAN D TOGETHER for religion, and the only ihing they claimed that every child in this country should have the "ight to be instructed in that phase of the Christian faith 1n which its parents believe. (Applause.) Mr. S. II- Byass was unanimously, elected riiling councillor of the habitation, the lattet to be called The Byass Habitation. Mrs. W B, Hallowes was elected dame president, and Miss Richards hon. treasurer, Mr. James Anderson was elected hon. see- pro. ten, pending the election of a per.. manent secretary.

The queatio4 was how the burns were caused.

Plaintiff giving evidence said in conset quence of his injuries he remained in th4 home for six or seven weeks, and was fo* three weeks in a country home belonging to defendant, who told him that so long as he remained he would be his guest.
