BRITISH MEDICOS. Annual Conference at Swansea ;<: PRINCE OF WALES ELECTED HON. MEMBER. The seventy-first annual conference of the British Medical Association opened at Swan- sea yesterday. After members had attended Divine service, the first general meet- ling of the representatives attending the conference was held at the King's- hall at two p.m. Mr. Walter Whitehead, of Manchester, temporarily occupied the chair, and in introducing the new president said that Dr. T. D. Griffiths was not only very well-known in the district in which this year's conference was being held. but also to many of the members of the association in other parts of the country. He was sure from !what he knew of him that Dr. Griffiths would make a very admirable president. Dr. Griffiths having returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him, Dr. W. F. Brook, one of the local general secretaries, on behalf of the executive committee presented the new president with the badge of office, observing that in no better hands could the honour of the association be placed than in those of Dr. Griffiths. (Hear, hear.) The President stated that he was very pleased that his first duty was to announce that the Prince of Wales was prepared to accept the position of an honorary member of the British Medical Association. Later in the afternoon a large number of the representatives and their wives attended a. garden party given by Mr. and Mrs. William Walters at Ffynone, in time for which event the weather cleared somewhat. The evening meeting at the Albert-hall was quite a smart social event. The Mayor of Swansea (Mr. Griffith Thomas) extended a cordial welcome to the members of the British Medical Association to Swan- sea, and then introduced the new president to the meeting. Dr. Griffiths then delivered his presidential address. He said the practical applica- tion of our knowledge for the benefit of the public health had not kept pace with the great progress made in conceived, had been of great service in improv- ing the sanitary condition of urban and rural districts; but in spite of the amending Acts. and in spite of the Local Government Act of 1894. it was now clear that both the law and its administration are defective in many points, and the time has come when both should be improved in order to secure for the public the full benefit of the advance recently achieved in the science of hygiene by bacteri- ology and the principles of Listerism. We were indifferent and accustomed to the endemic and preventable diseases which are always with U8 persistently destroying a large percentage of the population. This might be attributed to three ctuses:- 1. The absence of a, strong central authority. 2. The ignorance, apathy, and prejudices of the smaller authorities. 3. The objections and the loud protestations of faddists and conscientious objectors to vac- cination. It was evident that the reform we need was greater central authority and reater power to county coun^ls over public t-l-Itli administration within their respective ?reas.

CRIME IN LIVERPOOL. Mr. Justice Bigham In opening the Liver- pool Assizes on Tuesday expressed regret to And in the calendar five charges of wilful murder and four of manslaughter; also a large number of offences against females. But when the calendar was exam ined with refe- rence to the locality from which the crime' came. it would be found that Liverpool itself fcui a good record.

PEtiARTH SUICIDE, i Lady Cuts Her Throat in Bathroom. PAIN CAUSES TEMPORARY INSANITY. As reported in tho Extra-Special and later editions of the Evening Express yesterday, At The Woodlands, Rectory-road, Penarth (the residence of Mr. H. J. Simpson, J.P.), Mr. E. Bernard Peece, divisional coroner, and a jury- (of whom Mr. H. S. Wilis was the foreman) held an inquest yesterday on the body of the late Mrs. Harriett Ann Simpson, aged 64 (widow of the late Mr. Robert Simpson, of Cardiff, newspaper mana- ger, and stepmother of Mr. H. J. Simpson), who committed suicide under painful circum- stances on Monday morning. Mr. J. Just Handcock (Messrs. Downing and Handcock, solicitors, Cardiff) attended as representative of the deceased's relatives. Identification of the body of the deceas3,1 lady was proved by Mr. H. J. Simpson, who said that deceased was his stepmother, aid widow of hia late father, Mr. Robert Simpson, of Cardiff, newspaper manager. She was 64 years of age, and lived at The Woodlands since the death of his father some years ago. She had been an invalid for a number cf years, and had frequently been very depressed in spirits. He had suggested that she should have a companion, but she would not have one. He had never had occasion to think that she would do herself any harm. He last saw her alive last Thursday. He had been away, and when he returned home on Mon- day morning he was told that his stepmother had injured herself. She was then dead. Mabel Teresa Emily Bailey, house-parlour- maid at The Woodlands, said she had known Mrs. Simpson for about four years. She saw Mrs. Simpeon on Sunday afternoon. She was then apparently in the best of spirits. Witness went into her mistress's bedroom on Monday morning with a cup of tea, as usual, but her mistress was not there. She became alarmed, and, hearing heavy breathing in the bathroom, she called the cook, and both went into the bathroom, where they saw Mrs. Simpson in a stooping attitude on the floor. Her head was resting on her arm on a chair, the other arm hanging down. She was covered with blood. They at once sent for a doctor, and Doctors Eacquoil and Thompson were promptly in attendance, but Mrs. Simpson died shortly afterwards. There were a table-knife and scissors on the mantel- shelf in the room, covered with blood. Witness never had the slightest suspicion that Mrs. Simpson would do herself any harm. Elizabeth Francis, cook, gave evidence cor- roborative of that of the parlourmaid, both witnesses relating the painful circumstances under considerable emotion. Dr. Hacquoil, PenaTth, who was one of the medical gentlemen summoned to The Wood- lands on Monday morning, said he saw Mrs. Simpeon about eight o'clock. She lay in a kneeling attitude in the bathroom, with a large jagged wound in the throat. The jugular vein was severed, and she was bleed- ing freely from the wound in the throat, Death resulted in about twenty minutes. She probably cut her throat with a knife, and afterwards enlarged the wound with a scissors. There was a bruise on the left eye and on the left cheek and side, but these were probably due to her fall- ing against the corner of the wall in the bathroom at the time of the fatal act. Dr. W. T. Wallace, Cardiff, said he had attended Mrs. Simpson some years ago, and had performed an operation upon her. She suffered severe and acute pains before and after the operation, and it was probably during one of these sudden and violent attacks of pain Chat she committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity. He was quite satisfied that she was not accountable for her actions when she cut her throat. The Coroner briefly addressed the jury, who returned a verdict that the lady committed suicide whilst in a state of tem- porary insanity, at the same time expressing sympathy with Mr. H. J. Simpson and the family under the painful circumstances. The jury handed back their fees as a dona- tion towards Dr. Barnardo's Horned

Seedwofd testing. MORNING GALLOPS AND PROBABLES, Latest from the Course. Selections. SPECIALLY WIRED TO THE EVENING EXPRESS." GOODWOOD, Wednesday Morning, Bright was the early morning, but the clouds, as I write, are beating up again, and I fear we are in for a wet day. The feature to-day is the Goodwood Plate, which will attract a fair field for the post, and in the .now hea.vy going the course will require a deal of getting. It is bound to be heavy round the loop, which will find out the weak points in many. Friar Tuck looka well, and so do Prince Florizel, Lovat, and Emily Melton, the latter of which will be suited to the course and going. She his nothing to carry, and might readily do the trick. At the same time I oannotsee my way to stand her, and in attempting to find the winner I shtal vote for LOVAT I to win and place, and thus enable Madden to ride a useful double event.

DETERMINED TO DIE. A remarkable determination to commit suicide was manifested by a Birmingham man, named John Plastoe, on Tuesday. At the scheduled time for a Birmingham to London express to pass, he jumped over the bridge at Saltley and fractured his leg. He was pulled off the line, but, hearing the express approach- ing, he broke away from his rescuers, and was with difficulty saved a second time just as the train dashed past.

UNCLE AND NEPHEWI Paramour Causes a Fatal Quarrel BOOKMAKER'S CLERKCHARGED WITH MURDER. At the Birmingham. Assizes yesterday William George JonegJ (50), bookmaker's clerk, was indicted for having killed Charles Jones, his uncle, who lodged with him at -a, house in Ludga,te HilL Evidence was given by' a woman named Smith, who lived with prisoner, to the effect that the deceased man had lodged at their house for twelve months. For nine months of that time he was out of work, and he was provided, without charge, with board and lodging. Late on the night of July 18 the deceased made certain advances to her, in the absence of prisoner, which she resented. She complained to her paramour when he came ome shortly after midnight, and as a result he went downstairs, and ordered his uncle, who slept on the sofa, out of the house. She heard a quarrel, followed bya scuffle, and a thud as if one of the combatanta had fallen. Smith shortly afterwards left her bedroom, and on coming downstairs found prisoner bending over his uncle, and calling upon him to speak. He directed her to fetch Dr. New- ton. While she was away he rushed to his bedroom and cut his throat. Dr. Newton said the deceased was in a delicate state of health; mo&t o fthe organs were affeoted by alcohol. Mr. Dorsett submitted that there was no evidence -to justify the case going to the jury. It was probable that the injury was acci- dentally caused by the deceased's head coming in contact with the table. Hie Lordship said prisoner's actions were certainly inconsistent with a display of passion. The jury, without leaving the box, found the prisoner not guilty, and he wos discharged.

ACTION AGAINST SIR FRANCIS JEUNE I In the Westminster City Court yesterday his Honour Judge Wood-fall tried the case of Jeune v. Jeune, in which the plaintiff (defen- dant's brother) sought to recover possession of certain deeds in the hands of Sir Francis J-eune -in his capacity as trustee. The plain- tiff conducted hia case in person, and said the deeds in question were lent to the defendant, Sir Francis Jeune, for a specific purpose, and he had been unable to recover possession of them. He was informed now that the deeds were in court, and the action really resolved itself into one of cos.ts.-M.r. Herbert Smith, barrister, appeared for Sir Francis, and also for Messrs. Norton, Rose, Norton and Com- pany, a firm of solicitors, who were joined as co-defendants.—Councel said the deeds in respect of which this action was brought had always been at the disposal of the plaintiff since 1901, and that his action wao an abuse of the process of the court.—His Honour said it was clear that the plaintiff could have had possession of the deeds by singing for them, and therefore he must he non-suited with costs.

THE FAIR AUTOMOBILE I ACCIDENT. The Paris "Journal" has discovered another eye-witness of the fatal automobile accident to Mr. and Mrs. Fair. Mile. Tremblay, of 5, Passage Brunoy, Paris, the "Journal" says, saw the motor-car daah into the tree, and saw the two cyclists who were recently arrested on a perjury charge, but afterwards released. Mile. Tremblay's account differs from that of the two cyclists, who said that Mrs. Fair survived her husband. She says that Mrs. Fair was standing up in the car. while her husband was trying to make her keep her seat when the motor-car dashed into the tree. Mrs. Fair was instantaneously killed, while Mr. Fair lived for a little while after- wardil.-Central News.

"PEACE" SCENES. I Celebrating the End of the War. INJURIES TO A BIRMINGHAM MAN. At the Birmingham Assises yesterday, am action was brought by Robert Tra-vis Sproson, wire drawer, living at 4 house, 1 court, Cam- den-street, to recover damages for personal injuries from Robert Reppington. fish mer- chant, Worcester-street, Birmingham, owing to the alleged1 negligence of one of his ser- vants. Mr. Hugo Young explained that the action was brought as the result of very serious and permanent injury to the plaintiff. Defendant was a fish merchant, and he employed a man named Granger to take out his fish cart. He had been out delivering fish on the morning of June 2 last year. which was a day when Birmingham people were celebrating the declaration of peace on the conclusion of the South African war. When going home by way of Paradise-street he seemed by that time to have been not only delivering fish, but celebrating the restoration of peace on his own account and in his own way, and the jury would find that at the time he was con- siderably under the influence of drink. When he wa,s going through Victoria-square and into New-street there were a great many people about, and under the whole of the cir- cumstances it was his duty to drive with extra. care and quietly and slowly; but instead of doing this he drove at what was described a very dangerous pace, about nine or ten miles an hour. He drove among the crowd, scattered the people, and the plaintiff, who was croseing over from Victoria-square into Hill-street, was caught by the shaft and knocked down. The horse started to bolt, but a police officer stopped it. The driver being brought up with a sudden, check fell out, and wae ioand to be intoxicated. The plaintiff was sent to the hospital by one officer, a second took the man Granger into custody, and a third took the horse and trap down to defendant's place of business. Mr. Young, continuing, said that there was the grossest possible negligence on the part of the driver. Plaintiff was struck on the side of 'the head by the &haft, and was rendered unconscious. At the General Hospital he was unconscious for some time. Afterwards he was delirious, and for a. fortnight was obliged to be watched night and day. He was found soon after the accident to be deaf, and he had remained deaif up to the present time, and would always be perfectly deaf. Mr. Young asked for heavy and substantial do,mages for the loss of. that sense, which was so very material and useful for all of us. Plaintiff, owing to the loss of power of hear- ing, was incapacitated from all ordinary OOOUi- pations, enjoyments, and pleasures of life. He remained in the General Hospital till June 30. He was then, aiiie to go home, and was attended for fourteen days by a doctor, and was advieed to go to the Solihull Infirmary. For six weeka he was an out-patient of the Ear and Throat Hospital. Defendant had expressed sympathy with him", Tim, did not want to admit liability. Plaintiff had been obliged to sell almost everything, and pawn furniture and other articles, as his incapacity for work and expenses in connection with his illness left, him without money. So hard pressed was he that he actually bad to get parish relief. Mr.' Young then went on to show what little work the plaintiff had been able to do. On July 16 he had to leave work altogether, and was treated subsequently for an abscess in the ear. He had only just come out of the workhouse infirmary, and the doctor said he was very liable to a. recur- rence of these attacks, and should be very carefully looked after. The plaintiff, whose story wa s corrobor- ated by a police-constable, having given evi- dence, Mr. Lawrence argued that the man Granger was not on his master's business ot the time of the accident, because he ought to have returned via. Islington-row. He ran the vehicle into Victoria-square solely for his own and his friend's amusement ajid enjoyment, and therefore the defendant was not liable. He took a route that his master would not have allowed, and was driving, perhaps, not on a freak of his own, but on a job of his own. In summing up, his Lordship said that Granger was on his master's business, in the ense that he had not got home. After an absence of forty minutes the jury returned with a verdict for plaintiff, and awa-rded him JE90 damages. They found the driver guilty of negligence, and that he was on his master's business. They did not find the guilty of contributory negli- [ nance.

FRIGHTENED HORSESI Lead to an Accident at Docks CARDIFF CORPORATION SUED FOR DAMAGES. As reported in the Special and later editions of yesterday's Evening Express," At Glamorgan Assizes, in the Nisi Prius Court yesterday George Gay, coal merchant, of Barry, brought an action against the Cardiff Corporation for damages for personal injuries to him- self and damage to his horse by the neglect of the defendants as owners of an electric tramcar. Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., M.P., and Mr. Sankey were for the plaintiff, and Mr. B. Francis-Williams, ILC., and Mr. Ivor Bowen for the defendants. It appeared that on the 18th of March the plaintiff, who had been to Penarth with a laden trolley and two horses, was return- ing with the trolley empty, and to do so he had to cross the Clarence Bridge, which, counsel explained, being of iron, caused a most terrific noise as a tramcar crossed it. Therefore, Mr. Gay, who was lead- ing one of the horses, on seeing an electric car coming from the Grangetown side, stopped before getting on to the bridge for the car to cross, and then, there being no car on the bridge, he began to cross. As they got on the bridge another car, coming the other way, got on to the bridge. Directly that happened there was a swishing noise with the electric wires, and the leading horse became restive. Plaintiff and his man held up their hands and asked the driver of the car to stop. The car was not stopped, and the horse got wild, and finally, as the tram was passing, the terrified horses came out more or less at right angles and .one was struck on its off nock by the tram. This so frightened the animal that it pitched forward and pitched Mr. Gay to the ground, with the result thai his arm was broken in two places, and he had been unable to attend to his work since, and would not be able to for another month, and as he estimated his profits at ?5 a week, his loss in income alone was £ 125. Then his docwr'si bill was £15; L5 had been expended in extra nourishment, while his horse had decreased in value by L20. Other items brought the damage up to L250. In cross-examination, plaintiff said he was not only a coal merchant, but a ha-ulier and furniture remover, while he also had a break. He sold coal in the streets. Mr. Francis-Williams: Do yon mean to say you make £5 a week by hawking coal?—Yes, and by other things. Plaintiff maintained that the bell was ringing all the time, and denied that the car stopped on reaching the horse, or even slowed. It was going at the rate of five or six miles an hour. Alfred James, coaltrimmer, and Jestyn Llewellyn Duckworth, ship's painter, corro- borated. Mr. Francis-Williams, for the defence, said he would satisfy the jury that defendants were in no wise to blame. It was not denied that defendants were rightly there. The Judge: I should think the only neglect that can be suggested is failing to stop when the signal was given. Mr. Francis-Williams went on to say that all cars had to stop on reaching the bridge, because there was a time recorder there, and there were circumstances connected with a swing bridge which made it impossible for a car to go fast. So far from the bell being rung. the driver refrained from doing this, and he stopped the car on seeing the state of the horse. If defendant, instead of leaving his horse between himself and the traffic had been on the other side, the accident would not have happened. George Hotwell, the driver of the car. bore out this statement, and said the torse began to prance, touched one of the girders of the bridge, and then rushed plaintiff against the bridge, causing the injuries. The horse did not touch the car, and there was no mark on it--In cross-examination, he said the greatest speed he ever ran at was eight miles an hour. Mr. Abel Thomas: Do you really mean that is the highest speed the Cardiff cars attain ?—Yes. Witness added that on the occasion he was onlv going three miles an hour. William Jones, the conductor, gave corro- borative evidence. While saying the car stopped before the horse waa reached, he said he did not say that in his original report. He did, however. some days after in his examination at the office. William Knight, who was working for the corporation on the Clarence Bridge on the day in question, was examined, after which! Dr. O'Donnell. who was not present when the case opened, was called for the plaintiff, and described the injuries, which, he said, were serious. In the result the plaintiff was awarded JE170.

SIR T. LIPTON AND RELIANCE. In an interview Sir Thomas Lipton is reported to have said: "I would have chosen Reliance had I been on the committee. I consider her to be the best boat built in the United States. We might all regard Sham- rock III. as the best, challenger that ever crossed the water, and I am confident she will lift the Cui).Reuter. The Reliance, which has now been selected to defend the America. Cup, will devote the rest of the time remaining before the cnp races to tuning-up spins, and will take part in uo more formal xtuim. <

THE PAPAL THRONE. Approaching Election of Leo's Successor. THE LEADING CARDINALS •0^, PROSPECTS. As reported in the Extra. Special and later I editions of the Evening Express yesterday, I The cardinals will enter into conclave on I Saturday morning, and the first scrutiny will take place on Sunday. It is stated that on Friday morning the Cameriengo will con- fer the biretta on the four cardinals appointed at the last oonsistory, who were abroad at the time. Without this formality they would not be entitled to take part in the conclave. The cardinals now most spoken of in connection with the vacancy are Ram. polla, Oreglia, Vanmrtelli, and Sarto. At present it seems that from 62 to 64 cardinals will take part in the conclave. Forty-two votes will, therefore, be necessary for the election of a Pope. A Rome message in the" Eoho de Paris" states that a group of French and German cardinals are determined to support the candidature of Cardinal Serafino VannuteUi. who is the avowed advocate of I the separation of Church and State. His election, the message adds, would be the sig- nal for a great improvement in the relations between the Vatican and the Quirinal.— Reuter. The Paris Pigaro publishes an account of an interview with a French cardinal, in the course of which the prelate said that it was true that M. Delcasse had at the outset carried on a campaign in favour of Cardinal Rampolla. but that, ha-ving learnt from the French Ambassador at the Quirinal, who had recently come to Paris to explain the situation to him, that Cardinal Eampolla s election was regarded in Borne as very improbable, M. Delcasse advised the car- dinals to vote for Cardinal Gotti. With regard to the statement in the foreign press to the effect that Germany would use her influence to prevent the election of Car- dinal Eampolla to the Papacy, the "Koebiische Zeitung" states that the German Government t is firmly resolved to exercise no influence on German or other cardinals, and neither to oppose nor to promote the election of any can- didate. This. adds the journal, applies to Cardinal Eampolla as much as to any other prelate who may be put forward. SERVICE AT BEOMPTON ORATORY. I At Brompton Oratory, London, on Tuesday I a requiem mass for the repose of the soul of the late Pope was sung, in the presence of an enormous congregation, including repre- sentativee of all the Embassies and Lega- tions in London, the majority of the Irish members, and the genera-l public. The King was represented by the Earl of Denbigh. The Duke of Cambridge was present in person, and among others attending were the American Ambassador, the Duke of Norfolk, and Messrs. John and William Redmond. The celebrant was Bishop Stanley. The amalgamated choirs of Westminster Cathedral and the Oratory took part in the service. OTHER MEMORIAL SERVICES. I A memorial service for the late Pope was celebrated on Tuesday at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris. Rain fell in torrents. President Loubet was represented by General Dubois, and Madame Loubet was herself present. M. Combes did not attend, but M. Delcasse came dressed in black, and mem- bers of the Corps Diplomatique were present at the ceremony, which was of the most solemn character. During the mass three arrests were made for cries of Down with the Pope!" As General Andre (War Minister) was leaving the cathedral somebody in the crowd was heard to hiss. The demonstrator, who proved to be the editor of a Socialistic journal, was immediately taken into custody. Eight persons were arrested in connection with the demonstrations outside Notre Dame- No further proceedings will, however, be taken against them.-R--uter. At the instance of the French Embassy at the Holy See, a requiem service for the late Pope was celebrated at the French Church of St. Louis, Rome. on Tuesday. The church was magnificently bung with black drapery, and a catafalque was erected, surmounted by a triple crown. The Archbishop of Chambery officiated. The French Ambassador, with the staff of the Embassy and the principal French visitors to Rome were present. The first of the three eolemn funeral services for the late Pope was celebrated in the Sistine Chapel, Rome, on Tuesday. The ceremony, which was of a very imposing character, was attended by 52 cardinals, among them being Cardinal Serafino Vannu- telli, who officiated. The members of the dip- lomatic body and a number of specially in- vited personages were also present. The sixth Novendiale service was celebrated on Tuesday morning in the Giulia Chapel in. the baaiiica. of St. Peter's, Eame-Renter.

SPORT OF THE DAY. Entries close on Tuesday nezt for the Cesarewitch, the Cambridgeshire, and other big autumn handicaps. Bella Ganina b.-w joined T. CoulUrwaite's team to be trained at Hednesford. If Sceptre keeps well it is the intention of her owner to have her prepared in due course for next year's Asoot Cop. Im all probability Lord Bobs, Eoyal Lanoer, a.nd Cap and Bells IL have been seen on the raceoourae for the last tame. Among the leading winning cores two- Sainfoin and St. Ftorian—are practicailj; > made by one horse each, Rock Sand and Ard Patrick respectively. Alderman shouM not Itawe appeared in the "Calendar" among the entries for the Good- tvood Cup, forfeit having been paid far the colt in March, 1902. It only needs a glance at the starting prices of the Stewards' Cup winners of the last quarter of a century to convince one that it is a race to be left severely alone by backers. Enyal Fluah (11 to 2) and Dumbar- ton Castle (4 to 1) are the only favourites to win in a. great number of yea.rs. D. Maher has arrived at Newmarket, and considering his recent dreadful accident the jockey is looking very well indeed. It is MsTier's intention to take a little holiday, probably at a seaside resort; but he hopes to be riding again prior to Doncaeter, at which meeting he will no doubt be seen on Bock Sand in the St. Leger. Chemistry, the dam of the Stewards' Cap winner, Dumbarton Castle, has bred several winners—the very cleverly-named Argon (by Despair among the number. When yeeter- day's winner made his first appearanoe in public, in the Wellesbounie Juvenile Plate a.t4 the summer meeting at Birmingham laBt year, more than one good judge prophesied that be would develop into a flyer. The draw for places at the starting-post ia the Stewards' Cup resulted ae follows:—Dum- barton Castle No. 1 (inside), Nabot Z. Mac- donald III. 3, La Blizon 4.

He adds that he at the same time offered, if )Lr. Read so desired, to return the horse at once upon receiving bck the X"UJOO paid, but no answer to this offer reached him.
