I DEATH IN THE PIT I i I CAGE FALLS ON ANOTHERCAGE ELY VALLEY DISASTER Graphic Stories Told Two 03 ges fell into the pump at the Ely Colliery, Penygraig, yesterday morning. As reported in yesterday's Evening Express," tho aecidoi:t was caused by the winding machinery going wrong, with the result that the ascending age crashed into the sheaves ■and the descending cage, with its human ircig-ht, wa,s precipitated to the bottom. Smashing tL.e sheaves, the upward cage broke the; rope, and it then fell down the shaft, a distance of between 400 and 500 yards, on top of the cage below. The impact was terrific. The latter contained 24 men, five of whom wt-rc instantaneously kilied, and one, Thomas Morgan, died later from his injuries. The remainder, with four other men at the pit bottom, were severely mauled, sustaining fractures ol limbs and bruises. The experiences 'which the poor fellows Uuderweut were something indescribable. The lights in their lamps had been extinguished, and a scene of the wildest commotion pre- vailed, and most of the unfortunate men thought that they had met their doom. Doubt- less the commotion which prevailed not only added horror to the situation, but in th-e wiianess of the moment probably many of the injuries were received, while the injuries of the others were greatly aggravated. The occupants of the cage had been ruth- lessly huddled together. One of them after- wards stated that hi was pinned underneath five or six others who had sustained broken arms and It-gs, and thus "ere in agoiay of pains and unable to get off, and his efforts at extricating himself were of no avail Thus they remained in the pitchy darkness for a time which appeared to them to be aes. but really only a very short period elapsed, as there were, .as is usual on these occasions, plenty of willing- helpers, who were at all risks to themselves ready to render what assistance could be given to save their comrades from the perilous position in whioh they were placed I Tlil-l Work of Rescue This was by no means an easy task, and ccrtainly was far from being free from danger. The empty cage in its downward fi-.g-ht had torn the lining of the shaft to pieces, so there was no knowing the moment when the overhanging timbers, Ac., might fall and add to the list of fatalities. The iiiiner, however, is noted for his bravery when occasion calls forth his heroism, and the present was no exception to the rule, and at risk of life and limb the men Slurried without thought of their own safety to the assistance of the men who were iu- volved in the wreckage. 1 hesc were, indeed, literally imprisoned, and were absolutely unable to do anything lor thowiseivec. They were piteously moa-t- irig, as every little movement caused excru- ciating pairs to the poor fellows. It was, 1 indeed, as one of them put it. this that iu a way brought them to their senses, as they were 60 ttunned at fir-tot that they were unable to realise what had happened. jviteous appeals were also made for water, and the scene was one which baffles descrrp- t ion. t nder the circumstances, it is regarded "y exTXM'ienced mining engineers at marvellous that the list of fatalities is comparatively so short, and there were some miraculous escapes. For example, one lad in the upper deck of the ill-fated cage, where practically every one cf the others were victims to I terrible injuries, inchidin? the five k=.d the spot close by him, escaped ccathles& how, neither he nor anybody else can explain. The rescue work proved a rather slow pro- cesa. The cage protection gates had firet to be opened by the hitcher. Had the entrance not been previously secured probably ma.ny of the men would liaye been thrown out, and would have been exposed to the second fall- ing cage and other materials which caiae down in great quantities. Ae it was, how- ever, the work of extricating the men proved arduous and painful to a degree. Their "piteous cries are described as heartrending whenever an attempt was made at removing thorn. Those tn the- lower bond were oaged in by the walls of the sump, so that the only means of getting at them was by "digging into the sump. Injured Man Assists in First-Aid I While the number of injured men as recorded on the pit-top, and whose names are given below, number altogether 23, in addition to the five killed, the investigations of the management show that there were really only 24 in the cage altogether, and it is explained that the other four must have been injured on the surface, where portions of the smashed sheaves and other materials simply rained about the place. The ropes I ralso, getting fouled, whirled about, causing ct portion of the wall of the engine-house t.) fall. Great masses of debris, including Portions of the sheaves, also fell down the shaft, and added to the danger of those below, as well as increasing the damage. The value of a knowledge of ambulance was exemplified in 8, particularly striking iranner. A remarkable presence of mind was manifested, by two of the victiute-the brothers Danes. When light was procured, *-< i' a period of distraction and suspense which can he better imagined than described, one brother could see the bone protruding through his clothes. The brave fellow, who had a thorough knowledge of first-aid, after assisting in the bandaging of his brother's leg, actually superintended and assisted in binding up his own fractured limb. The unselfishness shown, too, was simply touch- ing. "You look after the others," was the characteristic pleading of one of the victims, v ho Iximself was badly injured; "I can do all right, and I can wait." The damage done to the plant and shaft must be very considerable, a,nd the manage- ment cannot as yet give any idea as to the ■" sal extent, and, in fact, they will not be able toO do so until some of the broken machinery And ro.p0 and cages havp been replaced, so as to make descent practicable. Bringing Out the Bodies It was, of course, impossible for either the Uninjured men in the workings or the victims to be brought up to the bank by the same shaft. This had to be done through the Pandy Pit, where thousands of men, women, and children congregated in the early Part of the day to get tidings as to the fate cf those below, as it could not then be ascer- tained wh o tiie victims were. Eoweyer, the pithead was deserted a.bout midday, except by the workmen engaged in repairs. The Ely is one of the oldest collieries in the di-tiicf, and engages about 820 men. Origin- ally it was worked by an independent oom- pany, but was afterwards taken over by the Od.rubrian Colliery Trust, when the big com- bine was brought about. At the Pandy Pit, where the bodies of the dead. together with the injured men, were brought to bank. thousands of people assembled from all parts of the valley. Good order wa.s kept by Inspector Hall and his men., A r'everent silence prevailed as the dead men were* carried to their homee by their com- rades, and it was i* pathetio sight to witness women following their husbands as they were carried home on stretchers. The suffer- ings of the injured were considerably relieved by the presence of ambulance men on the epct. List of the Killed I Morgan Evans, collier, Williametown. Thomas Brown, Graigyreos, Penygraig.

The whole of the injured men are progress- ing favourably, and there is no immediate apjwehensian that further lives will be sacrificed. Ilarry Marshall, Arthur-Street, is still very low, but expectations are held out that he will reoover. Cause-of the Accident I Mr Fred. A. Gray (chief inspector of mines; I and Mr. P. J Trump (aaniHtant inspector) were also present, who had a oonfi-ultation \nth the officials. Mr. Gray said he preferred nn to give an official report M to the can?e of the accident. It transpires, howover, that the actual c&aao was the br?&kin? of the BpamtMf bar of tbe revemne S-ew J? T. )PXJ?^ th* AMBU" .eemerai? manager, said that the immedi-ate cause of the accident was over-winding, but what was the originating cause it was too soon to say. He wanted to make it explicit that 24 men were involved in the mishap, as far as the occupants of the cage were concerned. The other four men who had been injured must have had their injuries through splinters or I some debris fa.Iling upon them on the surface when the empty cage struck the sheaves. I Not Expected to Live Drs. P. P. Llewellyn, Gab.e Jones, Alfred Jones, and Weichart descended the pit and attended the injured men. Dr. Llewellyn stated that four of the men who were sent to hospital were suffering from compound frac- tures, while amputations would be necessary in four or five cases. The most seriously in- jured is Harry Marshall, who sustained a fracture of the base of the skull, and he is not expected to recover. All the occupants of the cage suffered injury either in the form of bruising or shock, but seven or eight ca-ses a.re more serious. I SURVIVORS' STORIES. j Empty Cage's Crash Upon Injured Men The men who escaped relate their terrible experiences in the darkness. Daniel Da vies, in an interview, said the scene was one beyond description. First of all came the big tht-.mp down to the bottom, and they were already rendered quite dis- tracted, when they xere horrified by the empty cage cra.shin.g through with tremen- dous forof) on top of the one in which they wev« imprisoned, and their being in totai darkness added to the terrible experiences of all concerned. When ultimately light was brought to the cage, about tl-e first thing he saw was a bone protruding from the thigh of his brother, David Davies. "You could see the naked bonhe said, "right through his trousers." So injured were they all that any Biavement on the part of anybody or anything caused the whole of them to groan a-n,v-tli-?'n7 ? c-an??ed the whole of them to groan I "Something Horrible" Phil Pascoe. who, perhaps, was the least vnjured of the lot was equally graphic in hie account of what occurred. Fortunately, he had only a slight shock, and was the first to give succour to his comrades. "But the heartrending soreams," he said, were some- thing horrible. We were then at the bottom of the pit, and on cage had passed through some of the timbering, which prevented us being hurled down the sump. At last the hitcher came, and I was able to hand out man after man, and the experience was one I shall never fors-et." Men Screamed with Pain Thomas D. Thomas, a collier, of 34, Peny- g'l-?i?-road. who was in the cage descending to work, said the first intimation he had of anything being wrong was a jerking of the cage. For a few ,°econds it swung about, and then went down like a stone to the bottom of the shaft. "We did not know exactly what had happened, but thought the sides of the shaft weoe falling in suddenly, a.nd with a rUlsh the empty bond was taken to the top, then came down with a crash, and was smashed to atoms. It was positively miracu- lous that any of us oscaped with our lives. The horror of being in the pitchy dark- ness was awe inspiring. I thought my [ end had come. and being a widower. my nrst thoug-ht was for the four children ¡ depending upon me, the eldest being not yet fourteen. Lights were loudly called for, but could not be obtained for the moni-ent, owing to the danger of an explosion. When they were procurtd a terrible spectacle presented itself. Men were scattered a-jout in all directions, some being in such agony that they streamed with pain when touched. The injured called despair- ingly for water, and the whole scene was something heartrending. There were plenty of men in the workings, who, at great risk to themselves, commenced the work of rescue. Dr. Llewellyn, with a rescue party, was soon I on the spot, with ambulance and medical appliances, having descended bythe shaft of the Pandy Pit. It will be soirS time," con- cluded Mr. Thomas, "before I can return to work. My back is bad, my hand and foot crushed, and the shock has quite unnerved me. Five Men on Top of Him William Fry, who, with his son, David John Fry, was in the cage, when interviewed in the afternoon as he lay in bed sJid :It came all so sudden. We went down like a stone. It was all over in a moment. We were huddled up together, and there were five men on top of me with broken bones and all fJt>rtg of injuries. I tried my best to extricate* my- self, but could not do m. It was pitch dark, and our senses were really knocked out of us. so that I doubt very liyich if any of us ca.n give an authentic account of what did occur. It was the groaning and shouting of the men in the two decte that made us first realise the nature of the catastrophe of which we were the victims. It was, I think, through being under the other men that I got my injuries, and I had to stay in this position for so long a time that I was numbed and helpless by the time I was takon out." I OFFICIAL REPORT Cage Smashed to Atoms I Mr Trevor Price, the assistant general manager of the Cambrian Combine, supplied the following official report of the accident to the press:— The accident happened about 5.45 this (Friday) morning, when the men, in the usual course of things,' were descending the mine All of a sudden the ascending eagre, when within a length to the top, was seen suddenly to fly upward at a rapid rate, with the result that the ascending cage came into contact with the sheaves on top of the head- gea.r, causing one of the sheaves to be broken to pieces, and at the same time snapping the winding rope a little above the cap. The result was that the empty cage fell with tremendous force through the mouth of the pit down into he shaft. Simultaneously the men who were descending on the other side felt,a,a unusual jerk. The cage dropped a. little faster, when it suddenly c-ame in con- tact with the landing beam. This first jerk seems to have caused a great deal of alarm, which, probably, accounted for a good many injuries. But what really did the great damage was the empty carriage falling from the top coming into contact with the side of the carriage containing the men at the pit bottom. After the accident it was discovered that five out of the twelve men on the top deck of the carriage had been killed, whilst among them was a little boy, who walked out unhurt. The twelve on the bottom deck, although more or less ba,dily hurt, escaped fatal injury. The damage has been considerable, both on the surface and underground. Some of the stays of the head-gear have been broken away, two of the guide ropes an one wind- ing rope are broken, and two cages are so damaged that they will be unfit for use again, the empty one being smashed to atoms. We cannot say what the damage is in the pit itself, because we have been unable to descend the shaft to make a proper exami- nation, owing to the guide ropes and sheaves being broken. We cannot make a proper examination for a good many hours, until these have been* re-placed. Every one of the hitchers and the men hap.Dening to be at the pit bottom rendered valuable assistance in getting the llien out of their perilous position. The pit having been I literally torn and everything hanging out, no one knew at what moment some timber or beams might fall and strike them. Every- body who took part in the rescue work is to be highly commended. "His Majesty's Inspector F. A. Gray and Assistant-inspector F. J. Trump examined both surface and underground. It is difficult to ascertain the exact cause of the accident, it being up to the present somewhat inexplicable." Amputations at Porth Hospital FOlur of the more seriously injured, Thomas John Morgan (since dead), John Davies. Thomas Morris, and William Thomas, were taken to the Porth Cottage Hospital. Drs. Llewelyn and J. Naunton Morgan had to per- form amputations on three of the unfor- tunate men. Morgan had his arm ampu- taken off at the knee, and Morris's leg was taken o. at the knee, and Morris's leg was also amputated. Thomas suffered from com- pound fractures of both legs, and an opera- tion of wiring the bones was performed in his case. Joint Inquest I A joint inquiry will be conducted into the [ accident by Mr. R. J. Rhys and Mr. D. Rees, j coroners, as the bodies of victims lie in their I respective districts. ( Message from Home Secretary Mr. F. A. Gray, Chief Inspector of Mires for Cardiff District, received the following telegram from the Secretary of St,ate:- Secretary of State lea.rns with great regret of the accident at the Naval Colliery, Per.ygraig. Please cend full partic-ulars to Under-Secretary of State, Homo Office. In the Hospital Inquiries at Porth Cottage Hospital this morning show that the three men, William Thomas, John Daviee. and Thomas Morgan, who were taken there for the purposes of operation yesterday, are progressing as well as can be expected. The Inquest The inquest has been fixed to open at 2.15 on Monday afternoon at Nazareth Ohape I Vestry, Williamstown. Only formal evidence wUl be taken, and the inquiry will be ad- journed to a convenient date for the purpose of making full investigations.

THE WELSH SPRINTI
THE WELSH SPRINTI RECORD IN ACCEPTANCES The Official List. If an acceptance of 100 from an entry of 136 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 list, we cannot think of any similar event that has brought together such a galaxy of elites sprinters as the namta that appear in tho 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 has been framed, is once again in the country, a nd has announced himself as certain to compete. No one was 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 so certain is he that he could have won last year's sprint had he been right that he Jus prolonged his ttay in England for the special i>urw»e of competing again next month, and by producing fooMthing like I his true form show how far he was oorrect in the opinion he held. Whether or no Postle will realise his ambition by win- ning a Welsh sprint remains to be seen. We venture to say he has something before him. In any case, he is positively certain to put up such a performance as has never been witnessed in the Principality. A NEW NAME. 11 ..? ? I .a new name tnat ngures in the list ot acceptances is C. E. Holway, of America, who during the paet four weeks has been undergoing a preparation from the Station Hotel, Blackpool. Holwa is a typical Yankee, standing six feet, height, and, although somewhat slow in t,he early stages of a. race, his finishing power may be described a." tremendous. Rax", of Boothstown, off 6;, and A. J. Gar- Eid.e, of Edinburgh, off 8, are also new acceptors. The latter will be bet-ter known as the lad who won the Scotch Powderhall in 1903. His victory is rega-rdied as the finest coup engineered since the inception of the New Year Handicap, so that if it were only for this fact alone his first appearance on a Welsh track should prove interesting. The name of G. Bailey, of SaJford, will be well remembered by Welsh sportsmen as the runner-up to A. J. Graham, Cardiff, in 1905. The Cardiflian won by inches. Bailey has feent in his acceptance, and this will be his first appearance in Pontypridd since hiB sensational defeat by Graham. Then, again, we note that G. M. DoreH, of Stourbridge, the amateur Midland crack, has decid.ed 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. (jrowcott, 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 inches to win the same event again last y^ar. Surely, then, the Welsh Pedestrian Car- nival of 1909 should eclipse all 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 the 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 our issue of the 15th hurt. were T-etlJrrWvl aa lata .L&.4"J..&u.v uiauagvuiviib regret having to do so, but, in fair- n-ess to the other competitors, who observed the date of closing for receiving entries, it was felt there was no other alternative.

Cardiff Trader Run Down I
Cardiff Trader Run Down I CASTAWAYS' STRANGE STORY I A story of apparent cruelty on the part of the crew of an unknown steamer was told yesterday at Lynmouth by ie=cucd saamen. About five o'clock in the morning the atten- tion of the Lynmouth coastguard was drawn to a boat containing- four men. It was with- out oars or sail, and wius five miles N.W. from the Oounti&bnry Foreland, which is the most northerly point of Devon. The coast- guard reported the matter to the lifeboat coxswain, who, with two others, went in a small motor-boat to the assistance of the derelict. The latter's occupants were found to be the captain and three men of the ketch Sarnia, which, bound from Cardiff to the Soilly Islas, with 105 tons of coal, had been run down by an outward bcund steamer, jname unknown According to the men's story the steamer passed on without trying I to render any assistance. The catastrophe occurred at two a.m, and the Sarnia sank immediately, before the crow had time to get oars. The four were brought ashore by the motor-boat, and were taken oare of by Mr. C. Be van, representative of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society
WRECK OF THE OHIO
WRECK OF THE OHIO Wireless Operator'sJnterrupted Message New York, Saturday.—The wreck of the steamship Ohiio, of Seattle, off the Seep Point Rocks, British Columbia, yesterday, was attended with tragic circumstances. T'ive lives were lost, but the remaining 128 persons on board were saved as a. result of the heroic conduct of the wirelews operator, Mr G. C. Eccles, who was himself of the five victinls. The operator .stuck to his post until the last, moment, his call for assistance being inter- rupted by the foundering of the steamer. He had given the 0 q D message, and the two vessels which received it were able to read at the conclusion the words, My God, I am——ait which point the message finished abruptly as the Ohio went down. The rescues were effected by means of small boats sent out by the two vesr-eln summoned to the assistance of the sinking ctea-inex.- Central News.
IFootball Crisis.I
I Football Crisis. I MR. J. C. CLECQ CN UNION'S CONDUCT I The conference be 'tbe Football Asso- ciation and representatives of the First and Second Divisions of tlie Ijeaguo and the Southern Daague took place at Birmingham on Friday to consider the stops to be taken in view of the crisis that has been brought a.bout by the attitude of the Players' Union. Mr. J. C. Clegg presided, and it was stated that 49 clubs were represented. Mr. Clegg traced the events which had led up to the present position. He said that when the Players' Union was formed, in Feb- ruarJ, 1908, a communication was made to the Football Association, and the council signified its approval of the formation of the Union and of its rules. Accompanying that formal approval wae a vmanimoue expres- sion of goodwill from the members of tho council. Shortly after the Players' Union wa.s formed some of its representatives failed to observe the rules and practice of the Football Association, and although their attention was called to such practices, these were persisted in. Correspondence took place between the Football Association and the Players' Union, and on the 18th of March the council came to the conclusion and passed a resolution that the Players' Union had not only deliberately failed to observe the rules of the Football Association, but intended to pursue such conduct in future, and there- upon the recognition which had been readily given in the first instance was, in their opinion, of necessity withdrawn until they were satisfied that the Union was prepared to carry on its operations in accordance with the rules of the Football Association. As no action had been taken with reference to their resolution, the council were obliged I to treat their conduct as a defiance of their jurisdiction. Accordingly, on that day they gave notice by resolution that the officers and members of the Flayers Union wno did not before May 17 give an undertaking that they would act in the future in accordance with the rules of the Football Association should be suspended from taking any part in football management. As this did not produce any result, the council on June 9 passed a resolution that the players con- cerned should cease their membership from the Players' Union before July 1, or action would be taken. Mr. Clegg spoke of the proposals laid before the Players' Union, and claimed that throughout the Association had had a strong desire, if possible, to get to a settlement. Mr. Clegg added that at an interview with Mr. Mainman and Mr. Broomfield the first- named made use of the expression, We look upon the clubs as the enemies of the players." He (Mr. Clegg) replied to that remark that if that was the case there was not much chance to make any arrangement with him. He regretted that the result had not been more satisfactory, and he did not want to say a word to make the position worse than it was, but it sce-ned to him that if they were to accept the position involved in the matters that he bad laid before them, they might as well hand over the game as a sport to the Players' Union a,t onoe, instead of trying to tamper with it any longer. (Applause.) It was for tho clubs to fight the ma-tter out, Mut he hoped the Football Association, so long as it retained the confidence of those associated with the game, would have the courage to carry out the rules e,s they stood, at the same t-im giving the fullest freedom to everybody to use legitimate means to bring about desired alterations. (Anr.l.n.110,0 Loyalty to the Football Association. I AL ci-ase 01 the denboraAions Mr. Bentley submitted the following resolution, which bo stated had been arrived at unanimously by the clubs of the F<x?ha.U League and the members of the Southern League■ That the Football League a.nd Southern League remain loyal to the Football Association and give them their unquali- fied support in their action, and stand by them whatever the result may be. Mr. Darnell (Southern League) seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. A Player and His Agreement. 0.. I A meeting or tne management committee of the Asigociat-ion was subsequently held, at which it was decided that two players from each club, the players not being members of the Players' Union, should be invited to meet tiie officers on Tuesday at Birmingham. Mr. Darnell asked if the Football Associa- tion would give leave to a club to take commjin law action against any player who did not carry out his agreement with the club, instead of the Association dealing with him by suspension. The Chairman promised to bring the matter before the council at its meeting on Monday. Rejoining the Players' Union. A meeting of 150 payers, representing six- teen important clube, was held in London on Friday evening, when it was unanimously decided to re-join the Players' Union. After having signed the roll, each of those present addressed the following post-card to his club secretary:I think it is my duty to inform you that I have T>e-joined the Players' Union. L however, recognise the binding eba-ra-eter of my contract with the club, and I am quite willing to fulfil my part, and play football when and where you direct."

I Music Hall Sketches
I Music Hall Sketches I MR. STOLL CIVES EVIDENCE. Important Suggestions The Speaker of the House of Commons (the Bight Hon. James I.owther) 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. Mr. Oswald Stcli, the managing director cf the Moss Empires (Limited 1. was then eu led. In reply to the Chairman, ho said he had h.ad 25 years'experience of the music-hall business, and the comjia-nv he controlled paid in wages every year to artistes and to other persons connected with th? company's halls £147,000. The Chairman: The sketches which are now produced in mueic-halls employ a very large number of persons? "Witness: Yes. about 3.000 persons. The agreement with regard to sketches which has been arrived at between the managers of the music-halls and the managers of the theatres ;ns of h e tiie&txes is apparently not altogether satisfactory. The solution cf the difficulty recommended in 1332 should be given a course of legislation, for, although managers of theatres may be reasonable and refrain from prosecution, it. is open to the informer to obtain a convic- tion against the music-halls for any perform- ance of a sketch; and, although it is supposed to limit a sketch to thirty minutes in the per- formance, it is impossible to limit a. sketch to any particular time The forty minutes allowed by the 1892 Committee affords a rea- sonable margin of time. You ask to be allowed to perform sketches which will la..5t forty minutes?—That is so. You prefer that to oomplete liberty to produce whatever you like?—I do. Do you find on the Continent that they are continually changing from a variety to a theatrical entertainment in the same hall?- Yes; they are giving alternately an inferior music-hall performance and an objectionable theatrical performance. Are you not arguing that the law should step in and prevent the public getting what it wants?—I hardly think FO, because the superfluity put on is not what they may waut. Do you think that forty minutes is the aacred line they should not go beyond?—I think forty minutes for a sketch is quite sufficient. Do you think that a music-hall audience would want to see a play of an hour or an hour and a half?—I do not. Therefore, a music-hall should keep to a variety entertainment?—I think so. As a matter of fact, some music-halls have two licences?—Yes. Yon do not find them changing from one form of entertainment to another?—A num- er of houses in particular towns do change trequently from drama to variety. Sale of Intoxicating Liquors va you consiuer that a miieic-hiall licence should carry with it the right of selling intoxicating liquors?—Yes, I do. In spite of the views of the local authority? -Yes. As a matter of fact. those music-halls which have a licence a.re more profitable than those that have not?-Yes. that is so, although as a rule the profit on drink is not large. What is your view upon the question of the censorship? I am in favour of the censor- ship of stage plays, although I believe greater latitude might be allowed by the examiner. Do you ever have to submit to the local authorities for their sanction any form of entertainment you propose to produce?—We have to submit c?rtain performances. This we are not required to do by our licences, but we do so as a matter of protection. Do you have sketches sometimes submitted to you which you refuse to produce on the ground that they are indecent or improper? -Yes. And if you reject them they are produced elsewhere?—They are. So you think it is necessary, in order to maintain a proper standard, that the censor- ship should apply to music-halls also?—Yes. You say that two versions of a performance ?re sometimes made by an artist cf different degrees of impropriety ?-That is so. Do you think there are certain music-hall managers who go as close as they can to the verge of impropriety ?-That, is so. and they are not always the best judges of what the audience requires. Does that apply to other forms of enter- tainment given in music-halls as well as sketches?—I think not. Do you suggest there should be censorship for the sbiigs '-Yes, if it- were practicable, but there are so many of them that it would bo a difficult matter to carry out. Things Not Permitted I Mr. Stoll put in a table showing the particulars of licences held in respoct of his company's theatres. At Liverpool it was stated that children apparently under four- teen yours cf age are net allowed to enter a theatre unaccompanied by their parents or guardians. At Glasgow no boxing or living statuary is permitted. At Newcastle the conditions forbid any representation which is obscene, offensive to public decency, or calculated to excite a. breach of the peace." At Bradford the authorities permit" no offensive personalities or representations of living persons, nor anything calculated to produoe not, nor any representation that tend-s to bring into con-termpt the Christian religion or is offensive to public decency or calculated to weaken the authority of tho King or the officers of public justice." Hull forbids anything obscene, offensive to public decency, or calculated to excite a broach of the peace. No young person under sixteen to be admitted to premises used for dancing unless accompanied by adults. At Notting- ham oopics of all pictorial bills must be sent to the ohief-constabie for approval. At Edin- burgh nothing must be performed of a seditious, obscene, or indecent nature, or calculated to bring the Christian religion into oontempt, or to excite a breach, tumult, or disorder. Question of Refreshments Mr. Hoary Tozer, director of the Oxford, Tivoli, and i^tlier halls, said that the drinking in his halls was confined to the necessary refreshments. They did not make a feature cf the supply of intoxicants, but it was a convenience which was reasonably used. The Chairman: Would you have any objection to your plays being subject to the censor?—We should not object at all to our erage plai-s-),iir sketches—being subject to the licence of the fc)rd Chamberlain. Mr. Tozer said that the position with regard""to sketches was eminently unsatis- factory. The sketches did not compete with the four-act plays in the theatre, and did not injure the drama. The sketches did not encroach on the theatres so much as the theatres encroached on the hall by present- ing musical comedies and by the competition of the pantomimes. The Committee then adjourned.

iConquest of the Air I i.I
Conquest of the Air I FARMAN'S RECORD FLIGHT Great Ovation to the Flyer j Paris, Saturday.—The "Figaro" publishes a description of Mr. Farman's flight at Bethany. According to this, when Jdr. Far- man was approaching Mr. Latham's record the crowd cheered incessantly. Towards the end the biplane was flying in the dark, fol- lowed beneath by motor-cars carrying the judges, who, in a cross-country journey, had to watch that the biplane kept to the course and turned the post correctly. At 7.30 Mr. Farman made one more circuit, and then came to earth in front of the stands. Hands were stretched out to the triumphant flyer, and be was borne shouhier high to the sheds, where a fresh outburst of cheering greeted mm. Asked regarding his impressions, Mr. Far- man said he felt immense joy. His start was satisfactory, and. as his engine was running well, he speedily "atamc convinced that he would accomplish an excellent performance. He kept low purposely. lie could have flown higher, bu-t it was easier to regulate a carburettor near the earth. He had some gusts of wind to contend with. What bothered him most was the flight of the other machines. The air currents created by their screws seriously hampered him 011 several occasions. Mr. Farman expressed regret at having start.ed a little late, saying that a.t the en,d he had st-ill enough pe-trol to con- tinue for a long time. In the "Matin" Mr. Farman gives some details of his great accomplishment. He states that after the first round he felt ter- ribly cold, and had to struggle against this feeling. After this t-he steady throbbing of the engine dazed him, and he could hear no other sounds. When he stopped the tremen- dous cheers told him he had beaten the record. In conclusion, IIr. Farman expressed his delight at holding the record, especially after the splendid exploits of Panlhau and Latham. A representative of the "Echo de Paris" interviewed M. Millerand. The Minister of "Public Works told the reporter he was cer- tain the world was on the eve of a revolu- tion in the means of transport. The trials at Rheims have convinced him of the existence of various factors,, the co-ordination of which will ensure to aviation a future of safety and regularity which will shortly rival railways and motor-cars.—Reaiter.

IThe Future of Cardiff
I The Future of Cardiff MENACED BY ACTIVE RIVALS. Defensive Measures Urgent j Feeling at Cardiff Docks on Friday was quite as keen in regard to the rejection of the Taff-Cardiff Railway Fusion Bill as on Thursday. In the course of conversation many interesting features of the subject were discussed, and the general trend of opinion was decidedly in favour of the combination of the interests of the various railway and dock underta-kings serving the port of Cardiff (including Barry and Penarth). Although the Barry Eailway was the creation of commer- cial men, and L" been for many years the favoured undertaking, a very large number of people regret the action of the Barry Company in opposing the Taff Bills, not that Barry is not perfectly justified in ulÓiDg every means to defend its traffic and future prospects, but because they think that the fusion scheme would have paved the way to a further combination to include Barry. To illustrate the reason for these views, it may be as well to give the purport of the remarks of a gentleman whose opinions carry great weight, and whose interests as a snipper of coal are decidedly on the side of Barry. lie said: I should not be surprised to see the fusion scheme again before Parlia- ment within the next few years, with the Barry Company a supporter instead of an opponent. Therefore, I regret very much the 6troug opposition Barry has waged on the recent occasion. In that opposition Barry has furnished the prospective opponents of the next scheme much ammumitil'o to be fired to their detriment..Rather ?ih,,)Idt?h: have come to terms with the promoters in such a manner as would have adequately protected their interests and have left the way opesi for their admission within the com- bination as soon as circumstances permit. "The position is this. There is now nothing more to be gained from competition between the companies serving Cardiff. Anyone reading the evidence given before the Com- mitters all the Taff Bill, as published in the newspapers, or in a verbatim form, must come to that conclusion. It is equally plain that combination would give the puolic many advantages. "Cardiff-in which word I iccludc Penarth and Barry—noeds every advantage it can get. As a port we must sink all differences and combine t-o face the competition of Newport, Port Talbot, and Swansea. At Newport, the Alexandra- Company has provided what is probably the largest dock in the world. What for? Mark my words, that dock will require a great deal more filling than the natural growth of the Monmouthshire coal trade will give it in the next ten or even fifteen years. It will be t.he business of Mr. Maoaulay to fill tha-t dock, and there is no doubt he means to do it. The port of Cardiff has shipped a very large proportion of the output of the Mon- mouthshire coalfield in the past, but it will ship less in the future. At Swan- sea a magnificent new dock is also provided and will require more traffic than the trade of the immediate district will give. Then a-gain, Port Talbot, which is now a small, but progressive, competitor, cannot be ignored. "What we have got to fight are those out- side interests. While we are quarrelling aiming ourselves they a.re quietly putting themselves into the position of filching the trade we have laboriously built up. Newport cries that the coal produced in Monmouth- shire is her property, and has left no stone unturned to place obstacles in the way of getting Monmouthshire coal to Cardiff. When Barry secured powers to enter the Sirhowy Newport got a mileage rate imposed, which must hamper us until we get it removed. While Newport has secured that barrier against Cardiff, they have the benefit of being able to get Rhondda coal to Newport on much less difficult terms. Newport, while ostensibly defending her own interests, has obtained such advantages that will enable the port to pursue a very aggressive policy and that will develop when the deep water entrance to the new dock extension, which will obvia,te the necessity of vessels going up the Usk, is ready for service. Those are only some of the reasons why I hope to see the railway companies serv- ing Cardiff combining. They must cease to fight for their own individual ends, but work together for the port as a whole. Whether this is achieved by a big amalgamation scheme, necessitating a big Parliamentary fight, or by the les9 costly and simpler metnod of pooling interests by a working- arrangement, is a matter for the companies themselves. Let all personal differences be sunk, and every individual director of the four companies make up his mind not to rest until the full interests of the port of Cardiff have been adequately safeguarded." Cardiff Must Wake Up. To the Editor of the Evening: Express Sir,-In reading last night, and more fullv this morning, an account of the rejection cf the "Fusion" Bills-re Taff, Ehymnev and Cardiff Railways, I feel profoundly dis- appointed. I am quite sure, in my own mind, that it is a very serious matter for Cardiff, and the sooner the city wakes up to that fact the better. Many interests are now strenuously at work to deprive Cardiff of the lead it has enjoyed for years in the development of the coal and other incidental trades. It seems to me that the city has no idea of how seriously her general interests may be prejudiced unless every nerve be strained to protect and promote those interests.—I am &c., &c., F. J. BEAVAN (Alderman of Cardiff).
