Col. Courtenay Morgan PERILOUS YACHTING ADVENTURE Colonel Courtenay Morgan's yacht, the Lorna, bound from Harwich to Aberdeen, has been disabled and stranded off the coast near the mouth of the Tweed. The colonel was on board at the time. The yacht was beating for Berwick harbour, and dipped in a heavy sea, which filled the headsail and carried away the jibboom. Almost immediately after- wards the mainmast was blown away and the craft was rendered helpless. Her movements had been watched by a coastguard, who sum- moned the lifeboat. Fortunately, the tug Forth had gone out to fetch in some herring-boats, and after much difficulty succeeded in getting a rope on board the yacht. The lifeboat stood by and life- saving apparatus was in readiness in case of need. Thousands of people lined the pier, and there was much excitement when the tow- rope broke. This occurred twice in quick succession, and the yacht grounded near Spittal Point. She was got off, however, and ultimately, after the third breaking of the tow-rope, was safely got into dock: A northerly gale was blowing and the dis- mantled vessel pitched heavily. When she grounded the crew of fourteen remained on board and sustained no injury

Censorship of Plays I EVIDENCE BY THE SPEAKER I The Speaker of the House of Commons (the Right Hon. James Lowther) to-day was the first witness before the Censorship of Stage Plays Committee, which again sat at the House of Lords, Mr. Herbert Samuel (Chan- cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster) presiding. The Speaker, in reply to 'the Chairman remarking on the control of the House of Commons over the actions "of the Lord Cham- berlain, said the Lord Chamberlain's salyy wa,s borne on the Civil Last, which did not come within the cognisance of the Committee of Supply. The Chairman: Is there any manner in which the House of Commons can bring under review the action of the Lord Cham- berlain? The Speaker. It is always open to the House of Commons to consider a motion with special reference to the Lord Chamberlain, either upon his general administration or adminis- tration in particular, but that must be don* by special notice, and that notice must be given. The Lord Chamberlain (the witness added) stood in the same position as one of his Majesty's judges or the Lqrd Chancellor, the Lord-Lieutenant of, Ireland, or the Speaker and a certain class of the great officials of the State whose conduct could be reviewed by the House of Commons after notice had been given in a formal and proper manner. If the House, he continued, could not review the conduct of the Iord Chamberlain, there seemed to be no object in asking questions in regard to his conduct, but, on the other hand, there had been one or two questions during the last ten or fifteen years, and they seemed to be chiefly questions relating to his action, put as the result of representa- tions from the Foreign Office, questions in which offence to some foreign Power might possibly be caused by the continuance of a play or the licensing of a play, and, there- fore, he presumed, for the sake of informing the foreign Power of what had occurred, the questions had been permitted. It seems to me that attention has been, directed too much to the examiner of inlays, and the dis- cussion has been focussed upon him rather than upon the Lord Chamberlain. The latter, it appears to me, is personally responsible as the examiner of plays is nofthin, more I than a clerk in his office, who advises him. The ixrd Chamberlain is THE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL, who receives a considerable and, no doubt, inadequate salary—daughter) and is a man of the world, who ought to make himself responsible. I do not say that he does so, but he ought not to shelter himself in any way behind the examiner, who is nothing but an assi-stant who does the drudgery for him. The Chairman: What is your opinion as to the general desirability of maintaining the censorship The Speaker: I have on special knowledge of the stage. The little I have I am afraid is waning because of the numerous and pro- longed sittings of the House of Commons, and I get little chance of visiting the stalls. (Laughter.) The Chairman: Do you think the censor- ship should be maintained, or abolished, or placed into their hands? The Speaker: I am in favour of main- taining it. If there is a case lor quarrel over it at all it is that the censorship is too lax and should be tightened up. The Lord Chamberlain should really iinstruct the examiner of plays to be a little more cautious. Some of the adaptations of French farces have been, I will not say verging upon the improper, but rafther they have ogne over the border. SUBSTITUTE (Proceeding.)

PICKETS & PREMIER DOWNING STREET INCIDENT Batch of Suffragettes in Court The 'adjourned police-court proceedings against the eight suffragettes who were arrested on Thursday week in connection with the picketing of the residence of the Premier in Downing-street created unusual interest at Bow-street to-day. Eight defen- dants were before the court: Edith Cranetoun, Irene Tillard, Charlotte Deepard, Anne Cobden Sanderson, Lilian Martha Hicks, Lillie Boileau, Marian C. Carrington Hyde, and Janet Legate Butler, and they were charged before Mr. Curtis Bennett with obstructing the police in the execution of their duty. Mr. T. M. Healy, K.C., M.P., appeared with Mr. D. Owen Evans for the defendants, and Mr. Gorvoaise Rentoul for the Women's Freedom League. Mr. Barker, who appeared for the prosecu- tion, referred to letters which had appeared in certain other newspapers while the matter was sub judice, written by Mrs. Despard and Mrs. Cobden Sanderson. There had also been distributed (he said) wholesale outside the House of Commons leaflets by members of the league to whioh the defendants belonged, in which it was contended that the police illegally arrested these ladies because they were in pursuance of the Constitutional right of every citizen to petition a member of Par- liament. It was now claimed that the defen- dants were outside the House of Commons in pursuance of their right to present a petition to the Prime Minister. He was instructed to say at once that neither the Commissioner of Police or anyone else had sought to deny the right of every subject of the Crown to peti- tion the Home Secretary, the Prime Minister or any member of Parliament. Counsel's first point was, these ladies were not there to present a petition to the Prime Minister. They were there in pursuance of what he called an illegal right, seeking to demand a personal interview with the Prime Minister, thrusting themselves upon him, and seeking personal access to him. This was clear (Mr. Barker said), because, when Miss Tillaree was arrested she handed to the police what she called a "remonstrance" against the fact that they were denied an audience and against the Prime Minister's "persistent refusal." it was signed by Edith Hon. Martyn (chairman). This, stated counsel, was not in any sense a petition. It was merely a persistent attempt to obtain personal accese to and audience with the Prime Minister to foist their presence on him. These letters and leaflets were a deliberate attempt to fsay that the police were acting illegallly in arresting these ladies and to mislead the public in saying that they were exercising their prerogative. The police, added counsel, had acted very indulgently to the defendants. Messengers had been sent in for them. Mr. Healy: There is no complaint against the police. We thank the police for their courtesy. Another point put forward by h. Barker was that, assuming these ladies were there in the exercise of a Conigtitutional right, it must be exercised reasonably. Counsel also told Mr. Curtis Bennett that one nighrt, a cardboard box, containing a. petition, was thrown at the Prime Minister, and there had been an attempt to molest him. THE EVIDENCE. Superintendent Wells said that on the after- noon of Thursday week he went to Downing- street, in company with Inspector Jarvis, and there saw the defendants Cranston and Tillard standing near No. 10. He asked the defendants if they were pickets for the Freedom League, and upon being answered in the affirmative he told 'then they would have to go away. One of them siaid, It was leg-al to stand there yesterday, why not to- day?" Witness replied, "It was illegal yes- t'erday and is illegal to-day, and you must please go away. Unless you do so, I shall have to arrest you." The two defendants said they would not go away unless they were arrested. They refused to go away, and they were taken into custody. Mr. Healy raised the question as to whether the defendants, who had no intention of obstructing the police, could be held respon- sible for any obstruction that occurred. He contended "that they did not go there to obstruct, and that, therefore, the intention was material. Mr. Curtis Bennett said that intention had certainly something to do with the matter. These ladies got to Downing-etreet day by day, they are warned by the police that they are creating an obstruction, and, there.fore, if they insist, it is intentional obstruction."

Suffragettes Released SUCCESSFUL HUNGER STRIKE All the seven suffragettes sentenced at Liverpool on Tuesday for breaking windows and doing other damage on the occasion of Mr. Haldane's visit have been released from Walton Gaol, owing to their emaciated con- dition brought on by their refusal to take food or stimulant sinoe their imprisonment. One woman was released on Wednesday night, four yesterday morning, and the remaining two. Miss Ron a. Robinson, of Manchester, and Miss Annie O'Sullivan, of London, later in the day. The women were in a state of collapse, and were liberated on the recommendation of the prison doctor. They are receiving every attention, and are expected to recover in a few days.

National Artillery FINE SHOOTINCBY CLAMORCAN I The selected companies of TerritoriaJ Gar- rison Artillery fired to-day at Warden Point Isle of Wight, in the annual competition for the King's and Prince of Wales's prizes. Fir- ing was with 6-inch guns in groups of two guns at a target representing a vessel towed across the sea distant over 3,600 yards. Five companies competed. The first to fire were Essex and Suffolk, followed by Dorset, Glam- organ, the North Scottish, and East Riding Companies. The weather conditions were favourable. The Glamorgan Royal Garrison. Artillery shot third, following the Dorset men, at ten ocl. They made the finest shooting wit- nessed during the morning, and one shot carried away the towing rope of the target. Their first two shots were over, the first being 120 yards over, but the gunners promptly remedied this, so that the next shot was only thirty yards over. The next shot was "minus," being forty yards shoot. The next was very close, being about fifteen yards over, and the next shot was obsolutely "range." Aft-er this the gunners, still shoot- ing with fine direction, went over eighty yards with their next shot, and over forty with their next. Their next two shots were both thirty yards over, and the next went 120 over. It was improved to thirty yards over with the next shot. but the last three shots were 250 yards over, 100 yards over, and 200 yards over. These distances were sig- nalled from the towing tug to the battery after the detachment had completed its course In the fit series the Ea.t Riding Royal G,arr-ison Artillery made splendid shooting. scoring eleven hits. The Glamorgan men were next best.

Defendant stated that it was in consequence of the girl beckoning to him that he fol- lowed har. She was a consenting party. The Bench told defendant that they did not believe a word of the evidence he bad given, and they were determined to stop young men from molesting girls on their way home. Defendant would be fined ES, or one month.

Channel Aspirants WOLFFE INJURED AFTER A FAST SWIM The steam yacht Sea Wolf, with the swimmer, J. Wolffe, and his party on board, returned to Dover this morning, the attempt t swim across the Channel having failed after a remarkably fast swim, owing to an unfortunate accident when Wolffe's position was most promising. The swim had been carried out in a fog, which developed after the first two hours- After Wolffe had been swimming nearly eight hours he shouted toO those on the accompany ing yacht that he had struck his leg against a piece of wreckage. The blow was evidently a severe one, and its effect was to make his leg practically paralysed and useless ior swimming. Wolffe continued the swim for another half-hour, but it was under great difficulty, and at 12.15 he had to abandon the effort. Jus-, before this time the French mail steamer, from Dover for CaJais. in the night service, passed the swimmer, whose position at the time was eight miles off Calais. Wolffe had, therefore, got fourteen miles across the Channel in a swim of eight hours and a quarter—a very fine accomplishment-, which had been materially assisted by the very dead tides. Another Aspirant Mr. Ted Heaton, the superintendent of the Liverpool Corporation Baths, started an attempt to swim across the Channel this morning. This is Heaton's third attempt. In his previous best swim he got within four miles of Calais. He entered the Eea just west of Sha.kspeare Cliff at eight o'clock. On the accompanying tug. Champion, are a party of Lancashire friends and swimmers, including Mr. W. T. Burgess, the Yorkshire swimmer, who has made many attempts to swim across the Channel, including two of twenty and 23 hours' duration respectively last year. Heaton is aga,in swimming under the racing colours of Colonel W. Hall Walker, M.P. for the Widnes Division of Lancashire, who is greatly interested in the Liverpool man's attem.pt. At nine o'clock Ileaton wit3 a mile and a half on his course across the Channel, with the weather perfect, the fog which overhung the Channel la-st night having almost dis- persed. Heaton was in fine form, and swim- ming a very powerful stroke. There was only a very light breeze, and the eea calm.

SHOOTING AT BURGLARS A drama.tic adventure with burglars took place during the early morning at Rye Cote, Dulwich Common, the residence of Sir Hiram Maxim. The burglars were dis- turbed and fired at, b,i,t, escaped, leaving most of the valuables in the house untouched. Sir Hiram Maxim was away at the time at Crayford, conducting flying experiments, but L friend, Air. Carter, was sleeping in the house. Mr. Carter was awakened about 2.30 a.m., and gave the alarm. The burglars rushed from the house across the shrubberies and climbed over a fence. Several shots were fired after them, but they escaped uninjured. It was then found that they had, fortu- nately, been disturbed before they could pack up their booty. A few knick-knacks were all they secured. Some hours later a school and a house in Dulwich village were entered by two men, who were evidently the same burglars. One of the men was injured, for the police have found traces of blood and a broken knife- blade. The men were seen running away from Sir Hiram's house by a passer-by, who describes one of them as "a gentlemanly man, fair-haired, a.nd clean-shaven, aged 30, and wearing a cape mackintosh and a dark cap." His oompa,nion appeared to be dressed as a working ma.n.

CURIOUS BALLOON MISHAP. Thelfift-h annual show of the Merthyr and District Horticultural Society, of which Colonel D. Rees Lewis is president, took place on Thursday in Cyfarthfa Park. The weather was beautifully fine, and the show, which was certainly one of the best yet held, v. as patronised by a huge crowd of people. There were several exhibits not for competi- tion, the most noticeable being a magnificent group of plants sent by the Marquess of Bute. This year the society had a new sec- retary in the person of Mr. A. T. Smith, who performed the duties devolving upon him in so excellent a manner as to entitle him to considerable credit. The Cyfarthfa and Municipal Band played a splendid pro- gramme of high-class music in the grounds during the afternoon and evening, and after darkness had set in there was a grand dis- play of fireworks. It had been intended to have a captive balloon in the park, in which visitors Jnight experience to some extent the joys of aviation, but this source of attraction had to be left "out of t\1e bill" under some- what peculiar circumstances. The balloon was taken to the gasworks to be inflated, and whilst it was being hauled back by ropes along the course of the Cyfarthfa railway line its passage was stopped in' Georgetown by some telegraph wires, and there it had to remain derelict throughout the whole of the day. The judges were Mr. E. H. Bat tram, F.R.H.S., Parkncwydd, Aber- cynon; Mr. T. Coomber, The Hendre, Gar- dens, Monmouth; Mr. J. Oswald, Cyfarthfa Gardens; and Mr. H. R. Farmer, Castle Gar- dens.

TICKETS FOR TRAMP WARDI At a meeting of the Pontypool Board of Guardians on Thursday, Mr. S. T. Griffin, J.P., presiding, Mr. Toni Morgan said that his attention had been drawn to the refusal of tickets for the casual ward to a large number of persons who had applied at the police-station for them. He was told that the sergeant in charge had advised some of those ttvho applied for tickets to go amd sleep at the local gasworks. The sergeant further stated that the guardians had given instruc- tions to the effect that the police were to give as few tickets as possible. Mr. Morgan went on to say that tramps were infesting the town, and the position was a very un- desirable one, indeed. One of that class of persons had been sentenced to three months' imprisonment for committing burglary when there appeared to be no place where he could shelter. Further consideration of the matter was deferred pending the receipt of a report from the superintendent of police. The Clerk, in presenting the financial state- ment, stated that £8,656 was required by the board. This would necessitate an additional Id. in the rate, bringing the total poor-rate up to 8id. Compared with two years ago, the cost of out-re!ief had increased by £1,000, and the cost of lunatics by £140.

MR. GRAYSON EXPLAINS At its meeting at the House of Commons the Labour party had before it correspon- dence which ha.s passed between Mr. Wardle, M.P., and Mr. Victor Grayson, M.P., with regard to a statement alleged to have been made by the la-tter at Stockport. Mr. Gray- son is reported as having used words imply- ing thiat Mr. Wardle. the Labour member for that town, sat ir? Parliament a.s a Liberal, and describing him as an enemy who posed as a friend. On his attention being called to the matter Mr. Grayson declared tha-t he was mis- reported, and that while he criticised and deplored the Labour party's support of the Government with regard to the Budget, he did not persona-ily attack Mr. Wardle. It was decided to send the correspondence to the offices of the Independent Labour Party, of which Mr. Grayson is a representa- tive, in order to secure a discussion there.

I FRANCE'S NAVAL POWER. Speaking at a banquet at La Rochelle in connection with the Commercial Ports Con- gress, the Minister of Marine saidWith her past, her traditions, and the needs of her civilising mission, France cannot refrain from being a great naval Power. Her geographical position and the extent of her coasts, which make her shores of three seas-everything compels her to maintain her naval force at a height suitable to the place which she holds in the concert of nations. To forget this would be to become decadent In a period of rapid changes like the present, when all naval States are making great efforts to increase their fleets, we cannot, we must not. remain behind. Many criticisms have been levelled- at our Navy. I do not hesitate to admit they may have some foundation, but their exaggeration would lead us to face the situa- tion with pessimism, than which nothing could be more dangerous. Some inaccuracies, it is true, may be conceived in considering the use of our naval force, but are any human works exempt from these? Do not let us waste our energy in useless regrets, and let us look forward to parry with vigour and without weakness the difficulties which I we shall meet. Public opinion will help us.- Reuter.

THE WELSH SPRINTI OFFICIAL LIST OF ACCEP- TANCES. [SPECIAL TO THE 11 EVENING EXPRESS."] I ICOPY RIGHT.] If an acceptance of 100 from an entry of 13-5 is any criterion at all, then it is well within reason to predict that the Welsh Pedestrian Athletic Carnival, which will take place at the Taff Vale Park, Pontypridd. on the 4th and 6th of September next, will prove to be one of the very finest athletic meetings ever held in any part of the United Kingdom. Notwithstanding the huge acceptance lii;t, we cannot think of any similar event that has brought together such a galaxy of class sprinters as the names that appear in the list below. Our readers will note also that every yard in the handicap is represented among the acceptances—a fact which should go far to maintain the interest of previous years. Pestle, the world's premier sprinter, from whom the handicap baa been framed, is once dgain in the country, and ha,s announced himself as certain to compete. Xo one wa? more disappointed than Postle himself in being unable to do himself justice last year —as the result of a breakdown in his final trial—and to sanguine was he, he could have won last year's sprint bad he teen right that he b.iis prolonged his day in England for the special purpoie of competing again next month, and by producing cine thing like h.i..5 true firm, and thereby show how far he wa.s cor ect in the opinion he held of being able to have won in 1908. Whether or no. Poot-le will realise his ambition by win- ning a Welsh sprint remains to be tieen. We venture to say he has something before him. In any case, he is positively certain to put. up such a performance that he h<aJ3 never been witnessed in the Principality. A new naeie that figures in the list of accept an cets is, C. E. Hoi way, of America, who during the pact four weeks has been undergo,ing a preparation from the Station Hotel, Blackpool. Hoi way is a. typical fankee. standing six feet height, and. although somewhat clow in the early stages of a race, his finishing1 power may be de-cribed as tremendous. F"rr, c1 Boothstown, off 61, and A. J. Gar- fcide, of Edinburgh, off 8, are also new aceeiptois. The latter will be better known as the lad who won the Scotch Powdcrhall in 19C3. Hie victory is regarded as the fine.-t coup engineered since the inception of the Mew Handicap, t-o tha.t if it were only for this fact alone his first appearance on a Welsh track should ■pi'ove interesting. The name of G. Bailey, of Saiford, will be well remembered by ,ekh sportsmen as the runner-up to A. J. Graham, Cardiff, in 19D5. The Cardiffian won by inches. Bailey ha,, wit in his acceptance, and this will be his first appearance in Pontypridd gince his sen rational defeat by Graham. Then, again, we note that G. M. Dorell, of Stourbridge, the amateur Midland crack, has decided to make his debut as a. pro. in the Welsh sprint. For a runner of his class, we regard his mark as a very good one, and we will not be in the least surprised to see him run very prominently. Growcott, Day. Eastman. and Todd, of Australia have notified their intention of being certain starters. So also has James Muir, of Edinburgh, who in 1904 won the Powderhall Handicap, and only failed by irehes to win this same evetn again last y-ar. Surely, then, the Welsh Pcdc -trian Car- nival of 1909 should eclipse r'.1 previous records from every standpoint. From its inception, each year has proved more attrac- tive than its predecessors, and although we have not forgotten last year's great meet- ing, with its huge attendance and brilliant finishes in the different events, we do not hesitate to predict that next September meeting will surpass anything of its kind held in any part of the country. We are informed that eleven entries which came to hand after the publication of the starts in the "Evening Express" of the 14th inst. were returned as too late. The man- agement regret having to do so. but in fair- ness to the other competitors, who observed the date of closing for receiving entries, it was felt there was no other alternative.

ROTTEN BABRY BANANAS. I At Barry Po"ce-court to-day, the local council, for whom Mr. E. E. Green (assistant clerk) appeared, prosecuted a married woman, named Elizabeth Mosrman, for exposing unsound fruit for sale. Mr. S. B SammerSeld, town sanitary inspector, said that. on July 27 he visited a stall kept by defendant on the sands at Whitmore Bay, Barry Island, and seized 71b. of rotten and mouldy bananas, which were afterwards destroyed. Defendant and her daughter said that the fruit was .not for sale, but it was proved that the bananas were in a box on the counter. Mr. O. 11. Jones: You will be fined £1 and costs, or fourteen days. Defen- dant: Then I'll do the fourteen days, for I am not guilty, indeed I am not. I should not be likely to put mouldy bananas along- side biled 'am and oakes. She continued to protest her innocence, and had to be taken out of court.

Thora at the Empire SUFFRACETTES SEEK ADHERENT There a-ppears at Cardiff Empire this week an artiste who is so good an actor as to induce ladies who clamour for a vote to seek an adherent. "Thora" it- the artiste, and appears in a clever ventriloquial eketoh with the sweetly modulated voice of a donna. "Thora," in male attire, might well pass as a lady in mufti, even in these days wht'n gentlemanly young ladies and ladylike young gentlemen mix up the sexes in so embaraeering a fashion. It t-ays much for Thora's skill ae, an actor, that the other day the follow in? printed postcard arrived from the Aetn&ise; Franchise League j Dear Uademoisselle Tliora,-Are you in favour of the franchise been extended La duly-qualified women on the same basis ae it i. or may bc. gra.nted, to men? Kindly write "yee" or "no," and signed retarn.— Yours faithfully, ADELINE BOURNE, Hon. Secretary.

The subsequent ofier of a L2,000 purse, winner to receive £1,200, loser L800. tube tit-u ted." "What about Mcran's plea for time to get into oonditioni" Well," said Mr. Shirley, "he has had at least fix weeks to decide in, which ho might have employed in getting fit." Drisooll, who has been getting into con- dition lor the last six weeks, it much dis- appointed at iloraxi's conduct. He is pre- pared to defend his title as feather-weight champion of the woild against anyone for £ 500 a-side. 2tfr.
