CYLINDER EXPLODES. I IIIIJII THREE MEN KILLED.: I MISHAP ON THE 1 MAURETANIA. An explosion occurred on the Cunard liner Mauritania, in dock at Liveipol, on Monday- night. Three men were killed and eight others were injured. The vessel has been m the Canada Gmv- ing Dock, Seaforth, for ten days, undergo- ing periodica-i overhauling. At ten minutes past nine last night there was a deafening explosion, the vibration of which was felt throughout the ship. George Henneesy, master-at-arms on the vessel, immediately went below, assuming a smoke-helmet as a precaution. In the star- hoard engine-room he encountered the body of a man lying face downward. The man I had obviously been killed outright, and was almost blown to pieces. Around him were lying other men, some unconscious, and others moaning piteousiy, and evidently suf- fering from terrible injuries. Close examin- ation showed two other men wers lifeless. Serious damage had been caused to the inside of the ship, IR, considerable part of the wodwork being alight. The fire was speedily extinguished H,enilefi,a,y t,hen examined the engine-room, and the cause of the explosion became ap- parent. Strewn about the floor were frag- ments of a gas bottle, or cylinder of iron, which had been blown to bits. This cylin- der-between three and four feet long and eight inches in diameter-originally con- tained compressed gas, which was being used aii brazing the blades of the turbines This cylinder had exploded with the result stated. TWELVE MEX IN ENGINE-ROOM. I There were twelve men in the engine- room when the explosion occurred, and it if regarded as miraculous that so few lives were lost. The names of the men killed are — Samuel Gidnian, of Egmnont. George Coventry, of Wallsend. Geoffrey Thomas, address unknown. Six of the inj ured men were conveyed to itie Stanley Hospital, and the dead men to the mortuary adjoining. It was found ne- cessary to operate on one of the injured men, named Burns. Dr. Turner, of the Hospital, on reopivine news of the indent hurried to the ship and rendered assistance, aooompanied by other doctors and nurses.

I FINANCE MANAGER. SWANSEA CHARGES. MONEY-LENDING CON- CERN'S BOOKS. The charges of embezzlement brought by Harry Cohen against Arthuir C. Gaffikin were investigated at Swansea Police Court on Tuesday, when Gaffikin was charged with the embezzlement of sums of 128., 5s., 5s., £ 2 10s., 5s., and 10s. on May 26th (two cases), August nth, the first week in September, September í5th, and October 2nd respectively; and with making a false entry in a cash book by entering off L2 10s. as irreooverable. Air, Ed. Harris appeared for the prosecutor and Mr. Heury Thompson defended. Air. Harris, in opening, faid that there were certain proceedings at Swansea last November, and subsequent to them the manager who succeeded Mr. Gaffikin re- ported that sums of money received from customers had not been, entered in the books, and that fact was, Mr. Harris sub- mitted, evidence of fraudulent intent. Mr. Harry Cohen, 78, Cathedral-road, Cardiff, jeweller and watchmaker, and carrying on business under the style of the "South Wales Loan and Finance Co. a money-lending business, said Mr. Gaffikin was engaged in July, 1912, as Swansea manager, at 45s. a week; 10s. for office and house rent; bonus to be considered after six months, if the business was satisfactory, and nothing being said about commission. In February last witness dissolved partner- ship with Mr. Abbott, of Bridgend, and bought his share. On September 29th Gaffikin gave notice. In November pro- ceedings were instituted at Swansea I against him, and subsequently, in con- sequence of I COMPLAINTS BY THE NEW MANAGER, the books were gone through, and no entry was found of the receipt of certain sums from different people. Witness had never re- ceived any of the seven payments. Mr. Thompson cross-examined with a view to showing that when Mr. Gaffikin took over the books the latter were in such a state of confusion, through the defalcations of the clerk (amounting to £ 2,000) who was later convicted, that defendant mip-V find it very difficult to distinguish between real and fictitious transactions; and that defendant claimed £75 ;> commission from plaintiff, and had sent him a solicitor's letter threatening legal proceedings in respect to tALLEGED SLANDEROUS STATEMENTS u BY PLAINTIFF, and alleged maJdcious prosecution of de- fendant at Swansea. Plaintiff denied the present proceedings were instigated by that letter. The court then adjourned to 2.30. Resuming after luncheon, Mir. Thompson asked if Mr. Oohen would expect Mr. Gaf- fikin to credit £ 2 10s. to an a/ocwunt marked bogus. Mr. Cohen replied that he had done so; Mr. Gaffikin might haive marfced an ac- count bogus, and subsequently ascertained tlhait it was recoverable. Mr. Mountjoy, a chartered accountant, examined the boots in AugmA, 1913. Mr. Thompson: Did he find any intaccur- racritoa t'hen r—He couldn't. He only saIW the balances. Replying further, witness said he got rid of the manager preivdiaus to Mr. Gaffikin for incompetence. Re-eramaned by Mr. Harris, witness said that he allowed extra assistance to Mr. Gaffikin to trace the bogus transactions. When he oaime to the Swansea office after Mr. Gaffikin left, he found defendant had left a receipt, appnopria/ting the money for the expenses of removal to Swansea and hack to London. There was no mention of commission in the receipt book. I EVIDENCE OF BORROWERS. Mrs. Elizabeth TonnpHcin, 6, Aberdyberthi- j stneiet, said she and her husibarid contmclea a loan, repayable 12s. fortnightly, which had now been sisfctfed. On May 26th she paid 12s. as the payment ewd showed. Mr. G'a.?'kin init?alled it. Arthur .Hiewrett, tHe present Swansea manager of the South Wales Loan and P i -naiiee C,? d Finance Co., deposed to finding no entry in the books of payments made by the persons whose cases were in question. Im David Thomas's case there was an entry in the ledger, Gone; no use." I DEFENDANT'S EXPLANATION. The Beiioh considered there was a pirima facie oase, and in reply to thie dh&rgie de- fendant said:— "I am not guilty. NVI-an I took over the mana-gament the wihotle of the accounts were in a hopeless state of confusion owing to the extensive defalcations of a clerk named Arthur Davies, wh o was piroeeotuted and convicted. Durimig the 13 months of my employment I did my beat to unraivei the tantgle, but had not oomiplebely euic- leeeid,ed when I left. About £3,000 passed in my hands during my management, in- volving many hundreds of small items, and owing to the condition in which I took ctpw there were bound to be some errors and mistakes. I hia/ve not had an opportunity, though I have sought it and been refused, of inrtfagtigiating the books, but I am positive there is a surplus of payments of about £10, wfhidh I couM not credit to the variious ac- counts owing to the muddled state of the books. There are also servera/l a/ooooimte which appear as overpaid. This is how I account for the mistakes and. amors wihicih haive led to the present prosecution. 1' dad my best for my em/ployers and deny that I enter defrauded them, thouigfh there may be mistakes and clarica-l errors. Be- fore these criminal prooeedinigs were started I applied to my London solicitors for R76 com/mission dUle to me, which fair exceeds the amount irwotlrved in the present charges. If I had received any monies whaioh I had not accounted for, by overoiahit, and this had been proved to me, I would huuve recti- fled my mistake." Defendant was committed to the Quarter ) Sessions, bail being ttlloived.

I "PRICES AMAZING." I BNGINEER AND BRIDGE TENDERS I I Swansea Parks Committee in a I S i lemma. Swansea Parks Committee met on Tues- day, Mr. J. H. Lee (chairman) presiding. Eight tenders were received for the bridge for Victoria Park to the Sand&four for the steelwork and four for the masonry. The lowest tenders were £ 3,334 19s. for the ma.sonry work and ;61,W8 4s. for the steel- work. Mr. Humphreys (London), who had been called in to advice, aind the tenders were largely in excess of the estimate, which was £3,673 all told. The highest tenders were L5,369 for the masonry and £1;904 8s. for the steelwork. Ald. Hopkin said the position was serious, for they had got the sanction of the Local Government Board to the estimate, and now this was being very largely exceeded—by £1,000. If the engineer (Mr. Humphreys) had the courage of his convictions he would carry on the work on his estimate. Mr. Humphreys said he did not know where the difference came in. Mr. W. W. Holmes asked, assuming they did mot see their way to make reductions, could they carry out the work having only the sanction for £1,000 less expenditure? ENGINEER'S REPLY. I Mr. Humphreys said they would have to get sanction, which they could get. He suggested he should prepare a report show- ing where the difference arose. He had cal- culated on curi-eiit local prices, but he ad- 'mitted the prices as they came out in the contiacts were amazing. It might pay the committee to re-advertise. The allowance of steel girder work was £20 a ton, and there would be 48 tons in the bridge. It was decided to defer the matter till Friday, when the report of Mr. Humphreys will be received.

"THE APOSTLES." SWANSEA SOCIETY'S PRODUCTION. A NOBLE WORK: LOCAC CHORISTERS' TRIUMPH. The Virgin and the Angel (soprano) Miss Ada FoTrest.. Maary Magdalene (contralto) Miss Phyllis Lett. Jesus (bass) .Mr. David Braaell. Judas (bass) .1\Ir. Herbert Brown. St. Peter (bass) ,Alr. Josiah Thomas. St. John (tenor) .Mr. David Ellis. (Conductor—Dr. Vaughan Thomas.) "Eli, Eli, laana sabachthani! The set- ting of these words to music, or the sug- gestion in music of that terrible, lonely cry that wailed through the silent night on Ca-lva.ry-the burst of despair wrung from Christ in the climax of the supreme tragedy of humanity—when Christ Himself was mcved to doubt, and for Him, too, there was a "Riddle of the Uni verse" as there is to our day to the least of us when the end has come—this is a task that taxes to its utmost such inspiration as may be vouch- safed to a. composer. And the best that one can find to say of Elgar's noble work, "The Apostles," is that in the climax of a work founded upon THE LOFTIEST AND MOST ARDUOUS OF THEMES his genius is most clearly made mani fest. It is in but a few bar.? of instrumental music that he has set the most anguished and dread of utterances; but their effect is awe- some. Whether in tiiis motive or in the other that he aoseriates with the destiny of Christ, the Man born to sorrows, three faint tremulous touches of sound with a pang in their heart, he fulfils the canons of the highest art—there is ilbst an allusion to the inherently indescribable, but an allusion so moving in its eloquence and its restraint that the picture is a perfect rounded whole. It is, let it be noted, to the orchestra that he tinned at the climax of the work; and it is in the orchestra that the soul of his music most vividly and clearly finds ut- terance. It is noble; it is imbued with that spirit of silent, austere, reverence that fills our Northern Protestantism—in striking contrast to the Southern pa-ssion and spirit- ual ecstasy of Gerontius." a work essenti- ally Roman Catholic—and it is, above all, beautiful. For beauty is, a,t the last, the vital and immortal spark of -music. Har- monic innovations, tricks and clevernesses of orchestration, may please the pedant or de- light the revolutionary, or wring admira- tion from the technician but in the beauty of its themes, or tones, or motives—call them what we will--is ultimately the wit that will keep a composition sweet. The orches- tral score is in very many of its pages re- miniscent of WAGNER AT HIS "RIPEST ui iriduy ways; a glowing, surging river of harmony on which one is borne along, swell- ing or contracting, gleaming with the melo- dies of such motives as those of The Spirit of the Lord," "The Gospels," and "The Apostles tunes of shining beauty and penetrating spirituality, that permeate the web of sound as if with the light, now bril- liant and resplendent, and now dim, of some softly shaded lamp behind a tapestry. It is Wagner in his tenderer mood—one recalled nothing that was quite reminiscent in bigness and sweep and clear cut contour- but music that brimmed, as in The Apos- tles." theme with manly vigour, joy and ar- dour; that in the "Spirit of the Lord" theme was touched with an ethereal light, and music again that was brilliantly descrip- tive, though the descriptive is the lesser part of music. Such passages as the rhythmic, military tramping, accompanied the march to the arrest of Christ; the stldden dwindling- of the great billowing wave of sound into a thin, faint trickle, a perfect presentment of the night and splitude when Christ waa alone; the streamy tinkle and ringing that illustrated the counting of the thirty pieces of silver; and the music of Judas himself- harsh, ugly, blatant, baoe-such passages as these testified to Elgar's power of inven- tion and mastery of handling. And at the close, in the great final chorale, the "Alle- luia," we had a series of climaxes that in their length aind ease of working up and power—wave mounting above wave and yet never a suggestion of strain and stress- calling to the memory again the great finaiea of Tristan and the dramas of the Ring" that stand for ever amongst the loftiest mountain summits of all music. ELGAR'S POURTRAYAL OF .JUDAS. If the work flagged at all it was in the Magdalene scene; but the opening of the Betrayal scene—the fourth of the seven scenes that depict The Calling of the Apos- tles," "By the Wayside," "By the Sea of Galilee," "The B etrayal, "Golgotha," At the Sepulchre," and "The Ascension -gripped again, and the crowded audience that filled the Albert Hal,1 in every part waa tfcenoe borne along to an inspiring close. Judas, after Christ, dominated the work so far as it individualised and the conepic- tio,tian,eas of the part of Mary Magdalene, and the emphasis of certain passages, bore witness to the mood in which Ðlgar ap- proached the composition of the work, fashioned not in the old demonstrative "Sing yet to the Lord spirit of Handel amd Men- delssohn, but with ..& striving to express faithfully in music the heart and significance of the story. But in the result the title, The Apostles," hardly fits the work Judas dwarfs all the other twelve, and Mary Magdalene is little less dominatingly pourtrayed. AS TO THE PERFORMANCE. I Dr. Vaughan Thomas deserves our thanks for producing a work that is best described as noble; and our p-raise for so training the singers of the Musical Society that they were throughout assured and confident, and so could devote their attention chiefly, al- wa.ys beautifully and eloquently, to the in- terpretation of the dramatic aspect of the music. The fine orchestra,' as pointed out above, had the pith and the core of the work. and it and the choir were' admirably balanced, and the volume of tone, full and smooth, was always adequate but not over- powering. Of the soloists, Nlr. David Braeell sa.ng with noteworthy power and elevation in the rendition of the Beautitudes," where the music is not unworthy of the transcen- dent sentiments and Mr. Herbert Brown, as Judas, had, musically, an ungrateful, but, dramatically, the strongest, of all the in- dividual music to render, and did so wor- thily. The remaining parts wers in first class hands, Miss Ada. Forrest and Miss Phyllis Lett making v.clcome reappearances at Swansea. Mr. Josiiah Thomas took the part of St. Peter. and Mr. David Ellis that of St. John Miss Forrest sang with a purity and passionless of tone that was just what her music called for; and Mr. Ellis, too, had much of that quality in his tone and well brought out Elgar's fine conception of the part; and it remains but to add that the orchestra, led by Mr. Philip Lewis, of the Ixjndon Symphony, included some of the best known orchestral players in the coun- try. and was supported by Mr. Llewelyn Bevan, A.R.C.O., at the organ.

TWO SONS" CUT OUT." I CARMARTHEN GENTLEMAN'S I WILL. Action in Probate Court. I The probate action of Rosser v. Roeser I came before Mr. Justice Horridge in the i' Probate Division on Tuesday. Mr. Frampton said plaintiff, Thomas Romer, as sole executor, propounded the last will, dated August 10th, 1913, of Thomas Ejoaser, late of 16, Pkrton-terraoe, Carmar- then, pattern-maker, who died on October 26th last. Defendant, William Bosser, entered a caveat but no defence had been put in, a.nd on the 15th Mr. Justice Deane gave leave for the case to be set down as a short cause. Mr. David Evans, of Myrtle Cottage, Llanstephan, Carmarthen, schoolmaster, SMd he knew the late Thomas Roaaer. Boaeer asked him and a clergyman, Mr. Thomas ,who lived near, to witness his will on August 10th. The testator signed the will produced in their presence. De- ceased was perfectly.sound in mind when he executed it. Mr. Frampton asked for costs against the defendant, for whom Mr. Buoknill ap- peared. Mr. Bucknill opposed the application, pointing out that the will was one which completely cut out two sons of the de- ceased. Defendant, as one of the sons, was put on the inquiry, but as eoon as he saw I the will, and had an opportunity of seeing I the attesting witnesses he was satis-fled that the will was executed in proper form, ajvd no further steps were taken. His Lordship said he should not give oosta against the defendant. He pro- nounced for the will propounded. Bristol Airman Killed.
