NATIONAL STRIKE ?
NATIONAL STRIKE ? c COAL TRADE CRISIS P.D." CHAIRMAN'S VIEW A national conference of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain and Ireland will be held in London to-morrow to discuss the present very serious outlook in the Welsh ooalflelds. All sections will be represented, and it is underwood that failing an agree- and it is under?s ment with the mine owners a national ooal strike will result. The Men's Demands. The men's chief demands may be sum- marised tb us 1. 11). To raise the minimum wage ircxm w per oent. to 40 per cent., making the equivalent selling: price lZl3. 6d. per ton. &). Payment for sTna?I 0061. S). Payment by a?erag? for WOT? in a bnormal .pi aoes in the mine. (4). A bonus system on a sort of universal basis for work by night-ø. man who has worked five "shifts" to be paid six. (5). Power to call in an independent person when -the two from each side have have failed to settle a dispute. (6). To raise the standard of the lowest paid workmen, namely, surface men. and labourers underground. (7). The objection to the 60 hours clause in the Eight- Hours Act. Masters' Counterclaims. The masters, on their side, insist upon A-dit,e as many points. Chief of the claims are (1). To reduce the minimum wage from 30 per oen.t. to 20 per cent., moking the equivalent selling- price 13s. 6d. per ton. (2). No payment for small coal. (3). Each "shift," Sunday or week night, to be one of eight hours. At present it is customary only to work six hours on Sunday nigbt. (4). Abolition of the bonus "shift." (5). A free hand to introduce ariy~"shift," multiple or otherwise, when necessary. (6). Universal price for house coal supplied to workmen in the colliery. "P.O." CHAIRMAN. Takes a Serious View. Inference to the coal deadlock which has arisen was again made at a meeting of the Powell DufFryn Fteam Ooa.l Oamipany in London to-day. Mr. Joseph Shaw (the chairman), in moving the adoption of the report, said he took a very serious view of the position of affairs in the South Wales coalfield. There were geveral matters claiming attention. The first waa the effect of the Eight Hours Aot. A large number of people, incluadin-g some in the House of Commons, were led aatray upon the question of quantity, but he wished to point out that whilst the output in many cases was maintained it was only done by increasing the number of workmen and equipping the oolliery with up-to-date appliances. With regard to the negotiations proceeding between tlie employers and workmen's repre- sentatives, Mr. :-ihawv emphasised the fact tha.t, although the employers bad done their best to meet the men, the men had not budged a single inch. There was the question of small ooaL The men admitted now that they were paid for small coal, and t,hey demanded the same rate as if it were large coal. If this was agreed to, no oolliery in Wales would be able to work at a profit. Upon the questioi of abnormal places, Mr. Shaw remarked that the men's demand was that they should decide what was an abnor- ma,l place. If that were granted, the result would be. perhaps, that every place in the pit would be abnormal, and the men would be ready, but would ask to be pebid the sambe amount of wagee, and there would be no tonnage to pay these wages. A resolution was passed agreeing to the creation of fresh capital to the amount of 206,250 new shares of £1 each for the pur- pose of sinking a new colliery at Fengaun. The Chajrman said that the shares would be issued to the present shareholders at the rate of 1 to 4 at par.
'XI a Month for Smoking'
'XI a Month for Smoking' RUSSIAN DEbTOR'S ALLOWANCE The Official Receiver of Poartypfridd Bartk- ruptey-oo-art made severe striot-ares in the caee of Isaac Gorki a n d, fancy goods dealer, Pontypridd, at to-day's sitting of the court. "Debtor, who is a Russian, came to Ponty- pridd sixteen years ago, and his liabilities amounted to 1213 és., with a deficiency of E2,00 ls. 8d. siii-ce September last, it was eta-ted, the debtor had received goods to the value of 13,35, and had only paid his creditors £125. The Official Receiver asked where the money had gone, as the debtor had sold all has goods for cash. Debtor replie-d that he h,ad lest on damaged goods and had expenses to meet. The Official Rec-el ver then read out a cata- logue. of the expenses returned by debtor, remarking: "If it is true, it is a scandalous state of affairs, and a man like you ougtht to suffer for it. Li-ten. You state that you lost £ 25 on gambling?" Debtor: Twelve pounds I lost on ,a fight at Mountain Ash, and the remainder In playing cards. The Official Receiver: Them you state that you spent R10 on a week's trip in Birming- ham 10s. a week you put down for drink; smoking 20s. a month, and 5s. a week for billiards and music-halls. Further, you gave pre events to a lady who ie likely to be your wife. Debtor stated that he gave a riIbg worth ES 10s. and a bangle £1 10s. The Registrar: You have squandered AS nearly as possible 1100 in gambling, drinking, and trips to Birmi mrha-m and Cardiff. The examination was adjourned.
DAMAGES AGAINST MR HOOLEY
DAMAGES AGAINST MR HOOLEY The King's Bench Divisional Court to-day declined to advance the hearing of a motion to set u-side en award in the case of Paine v. Hooley and others. Counsel said Mr. Alfred James Pa.ine brought the action against Mr. Hcc-ley and others, the parties claiming £53,ÜYJ as (lamagei. money received, breach ot contract, &c. The matter went to the arbi- trator, who awarded £ 13,000 against Mr. Hooley and awarded himself £ 9C0. The grounds for the application were that the mount the arbitrator awarded himself was excessive, and, ss^ndly, with regard to tb-rte bills for £ 5,000 each which Mr Hooley had handed to the arbitrator, who promised he would settle Paine* claims with them. Bills were accepted by a lady of title. Mr. Hooley's complaint was that these bills had been dealt with for EIO,000 and no credit given him in award. Judgment had, however, been sig-n-ed, and a theriff was in possession at the farm dot. Papworth and the Risley estates. Mr. Paine opposed the motion, and the court, in declining to advance th-e case, eaid some reasonable arrangement could be made. Mr. Justice Br.cknill remarked, "We have only heard a little brt. of this strange story."
Mrs.WELDON WANTS SUMMONS
Mrs.WELDON WANTS SUMMONS At Bow-etreet to-day Mrs. Geoirgina Weldon applied for a summons against Mr. Edgar l;>fi'd, a Brighton journalist, for committing: perjury in his libel action in the High Court yesterday against Mrs. Mac&ay over a. pamphlet written by the present applicant. Mrs. Weldon stated Mr. Infield swore in,famous falsehoods concerning herself, and described her as a dangerous and a. wicked old person. She had offered to put down X400 to defend yesterday's aotion, but, said the applicant, Mr. Infield knew he would have no chance if she appeared. There was not a single word of iibel about the pamphlet except that he had nerves. Mrs. Weldon said she protected Mr. Infield's wife when he waa away. The applicant said the judge would not look at her affidavit. Eventually, at the magistrate's suggmt,ion, she said she would go at once and see the judge who tried the oa.t;e yesterday, and, if necessary, she would renew the application to the magistrate.

REMOVAL OF ASSIZES
REMOVAL OF ASSIZES AbdonnMi T. Canning, chairman of the Par- liamentary and improvement committee of the Newport Town Council, to-day referred to the question of the removal of the aseizee.

BUDGET SAVED?I
BUDGET SAVED? I v V Bargain With Irish M.Ps CHANCELLOR'S NEGOTIATIONS Basis of Agreement i The London correspondent of the Liver- pool Post," in a message late last night, says :-I am gLad to hear late to-night that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has come, or is on the eve of coming, to terms with the Nationalists. If the arrangement be finally concluded, the Budget, or, rather, perhaps a twin Budget, will go through the House of Commons Mr. Redmond has evidently found that his action on the Budget was threatening to alienate the Liberals, and he is proving more conciliatory than his public utterances would fiug-ges-t. What is the basic of the arrange- ment is not yet definitely known, but it is reported that the Budget of 1909-10 and 1910-11 will be combined. The great feature of both Budgets will be the sa-me. The land taxes, the lioenoe duties, and the super-tax will remain; but the new whisky duty, while legalised for the year 1909-10, will be abandoned for the coming ftnairncfei.1 year. A provi- sion will also be inserted which will make it clear and indisputable that the present owneira of Ireland are not to be subject to any increment duty. Of this there has never been any question, but Mr. Redmond and his friends desire t-ha-t it should be beyond all possible doubt. The arrangement with regard to the Budget will not affect the veto resolutions. They will go on to their pre-destined doom in the House of Lords, and when they are hung up or rejected it will be for the Government to determine what course they are to adopt. It will, however, be an immense advantage to I the Government if they go to the country with the Budget on the Statute Book. I M P. Ramsay Macdonald's Warning j Writing earlier in the evening the corre- spondent said: The postponement. and possible loss of the Budget have given great dissatisfaction to the Labour party, and Mr. Macdoineuld has warned Mr. Redmond that if the Budget fails to pass, it will do much injury to the cause of Home Rule in England. This is a point on which Mr. Redmond and his friends would do well to ponder. The Labour leaders seem to take a very reasonable view of the ques- tion of guarantees and safeguards. Mr. Macdonald has gone so far as to say that if the Prime Minister demanded gurar- antees at the present moment, he ougSt to be impeached. The plain truth Ï6 that everybody reoog- nise-s that a large creation of paers with the object of carrying the Veto Bill during this Parliament is impossible. It is evident that Mr. Asquith has never made such pro- posals to the King, aaid many people g-reatly ( cloubt if he ever will. If he does, it will be with the knowledge that the demand will be refused, amd he will only make it to justify him in resigning. Whatever may be the course of events, tihe question of a large creation of peers will not artee during tfhe preaent Parliament. Mr. Redmond's Demand It is mther surprising that Mr. Red- mond shculd insist so much on the question of guarantees, because he evi- dently recognises that it is impossible that the King can give them. Twice within the last few days he has declared that a general election either in May or June is jn- evital le. If tihe safeguards for which he is clmaouriug were obtained, there would be r o general election, because the Veto Bill would be carried by swamping the existing majority in the House of Lords. The Irieh leador, therefore, knows that the guarantees for which he asks cannot, be obtained, and he :s proclaiming with no uncertain voice that thére must be an early gsuor.Ll election. If he wishes to conciliat-e English democratic I opinion, he will certainly allo-.v the Budget to go through before the nest appeal to the people.
16 Licences Opposed I
16 Licences Opposed I AT ADJOURNED CARDIFF SESSIONS 1 Undiminished interest was manifested in ¡I the proceedings of the adjourned licensing sessions for the City of Cardiff, held to-day I a-t the Law Courts. Mr. A. F. Hill (solicitor to Cardiff Licensed Victuallers' Association) was present, with Mr. Donald Maclean lead- ing on the other side for the Temperance Union and Citizens Council. Dr. W. Taylor presided as chairman over a full attendance of the licensing justio". The police opposed fifteen licences and the Citizens' Union eight, the latter including1 j only one which in not in the polioe list, viz., the Friendship Alehouse, in Bute-terrace. The King's Arms The objection to the King's Arms was the redundancy of licensed houses in the vicinity. Mr F. W. Ensor (from the town-clerk's office; appeared for the police in this case and ;n the others. Evidence was given by the Head- conetable Inspector Burke, who, in answer to Mr. Hill, said, the house waa patronised by a. good class of working men, and was kept fairly clean by Mr. Thomas Williams, who has held the licence for seventeen years. The Friendship Alehouse, in the sanne terraoe, next came under review, Mr. Donald Mevoiean submitting that the hostelry was Dot a public necessity, ae within the imme- diate area there were from 25 to 27 licensed houses, and one of such houses for every 130 of the inhabitants. The licence of the King's Arms was referred to the compensation authority, that of the Friendship being renewed. Pier-Head Restaurant I ion was taken that the premises of ,the Pier-head Restaurant were structurally unot: Mr. G. F. Foradike handed up plans, I and upon the report, of the viait.ing justices the licensee was instructed to report at the adjourned meeting upon light, ventilation, and other matte-, the head-constable also to report upon the appliances in case of fire. Torbay and Alma I The He"-oonss"le gave evidence in sup- port of the coaiitention that the Torbay Ale- house, i,n Worguret-street, Docks, is not required focr the benefit and accommodation of the public and is structurally unfit. The house, he said, was well conducted, but the- WM am acapia aapply without it. Mr. Lewis Morgan was for the tenant and lessee, a;nd Mir. Bradley for the owner. The Alma Alehouse, also im Mamga-ret-t-t, om the opipoeite side of tihe road, was objected to on the saiora grounds as in the last case. Mr. F. H. G?tsk?ll appealed for Mr. Hiram Weeks, tbe li- (Proceeding.)
I "PACKED LIKE SARDINES"_I
I "PACKED LIKE SARDINES" I An applies^011 w*s made at Caerphilly I adjourned breweter sessions to-day for a licence 'for the proposed new Royal Hotel, Bamgoed. Mr. Hugh Jonee (instructed by Mr. T. J. Thomas, Ba-rgloed) appeared for the applicant (Mr. James Ward, Aberbatrgced), and opposition was offered by Mr. A. T. James (of the firm of Messrs. Walter Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas, and James) on oohaM of the owners and licensees of the Jurvcrtiooi and Plasnewydd Hotels; Mr. Gil ling (of the firm of Meseirs. Gilling and Goodfellow) opposed on behalf of the Hanibury Hotel; Mr. Clifford (Newport) on behalf of the M'Donnell Hotel, a.nd Mr. Cyril Jones (Bar- igoed), opposed on behalf of the Free Church Council. Bvadenoe was given by Mr. D. J. Thomas, architect, ahmwing there were six licensed hctuees and a population of 9,138 within half a. mile. Mr. James Ward said the proposed cost of the hotel would be £ 3,000, end he was prepared to give the bench an undertaking to stay there 1,3ir tlve or ten years if necessary. Further evidence was called to show overcrowding of the existing houses on Saturdays a.nd Mondays. A witness, Evan I&aao I'hilliipe, said that on Satilrtlay nights they were packed like sardines." The bench refused the application.
G.O.M. OF THE BENCH I
G.O.M. OF THE BENCH I Lord Hatobary. undoubtedly, deserves the titto of the Grand Old Jtfan of the Bench. He enters on his eighty-fifth year in Sept-em-ber next, and yet he has agreed to preside in Appeal Court No. 1 in place of Lord Justice Vamghan Williams, in order that that judge may devote hdmeelf to the work of the Welsh rvvmmirggirtn, —" Tiiwietruuol Poet."
28} MILLIONS !I
28} MILLIONS I COST OF BUDGET REJECTION I In the House of Commons this after- noon, Mr. Lloyd George said that there would be a loss in the current year of 28t millions as a result of the Budget not being passed. Assent to Loans I A Royal Commission was received at three o'clock by the House of Lords, and the Royal Assent was signified to the War Loan Redemption Act and the Treasury Temporary Borrowing Aot. The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chan- cellor, Viscount Althorp, and Lord Pent- land.
Drink and Crime. I
Drink and Crime. I OYER 100 PRISONERS FOR TRIAL I OVER 100 PRISONERS FOR TRIAL I Mr. Justice Coleridge, in opening the Criminal Court at Gla-morga,n Assizes at Cardiff to-day, gaid he regretted to tell the grand jury, of which Mr. O. H. Jones wis foreman, that there were over 100 prisoners into whose c-ases they were a-sked to inquire. The cases were not, perhaps, of th-e gravest character, though numerous. However, he couid not. heLp observing, and he ,ho-.ild not we.xry of pointing out, that a great propor- tion of the cases arwe from drink. During the twelve months preceding January 1 of this year he had kept a careful record of all the criminal cases that had been brought before him, and he could tell them as a matter of fact that 44 out of every 100 cf these crimes would never have been com- mitted except for drink. It was not for him to point to remedies. His duty was fulfilled when he drew their attention to facts; but he need hardly point out what increased happiness of the community, what lessening of expenditure in gaol and asylum, what moral improvement would result from any improvement in the habits of persons who came before him charged with crime He was not a politician-he was only a judge- but he did think it his duty, when facts like these came before him, after close invez-eiga- tion, to direct public attention to. them.
INEATH DEFENDANT ABSENTI
NEATH DEFENDANT ABSENT Three separate charges of fraud connected with insurance work were preferred against Lewes John Jones (41), an insurance agent, late of Neath. Mr. Ivor Bowen, who prose- cuted, said that Jones was in America, and, although the pclioe knew where he was, owing' to inadequate finances, the Public Prosecutor apparently did not see his way clear to get the extradition proceedings made effective. Counsel asked hit- lordship to allow the indriotment to remain on the file in case Jones returned to this country, and that the I recognisances of the witnesses be discharged. Lord Coleridge: It is the only course to pursue. "Champion Hairdresser." I "It is well that justice should overtake persons who offend against the law," Mr. Justice Col-eridge told Henry Laoey (51), hair. dresser, of Barry, and late -of Caerau, Maes- teg. Prisoner pleaded guilty to disappearing with £65 belonging to the Caerau Working Men's Club and Institute in the year 1906. Three years later he was found at Barry. Mr. Ivor Bowen prosc-cutexl; and Mr. Wilfred Lewis (for the defence) said that prisoner regarded himself as a champion hairdresser, and had won a championship prize. The sentence was four months' hard labour. Cot 10s by Fraud I A very shrewd fraud was alleged to have been committed by William Robert Dale (58), butcher, upon the Rev. T. C. Phillips at Cadoxton-juxta-Neath on December 7. He produced a form purporting to be signed by Colonel James, of York Barracks, and obtained the sum of 10s. He pleaded guilty, and was sent to gaol for fourteen months. 12 Months for Larceny Thomas Parker, labourer, having pleaded I guilty to two charges of larceny at Swansea, I was sent to ga,ol for twelve months. I A Coosi Character I Having previously borne a good character, David Thomas, collier, Merthyr, was released on his own reoogmif ances. He pleaded guilty I to breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Joseph Mitchell and stealing C9 at Mer- thyr on January 8. Bigamy and Theft I Amos Fortis (38), labourer, Pie-aded guilty to bigamousiy marrying Mary Jane Lee at Swansea on May 18, 1907, and also with steal- ing a silver watch belonging to her father. He was sent to prison for six months. CIVIL COURT I The civil busimeee of t.he assizee, of which I there is a big list, was tafien before Mr. Justice Pic-kford. ANTHRAOITE OOLLIERY DEAL. I A claim for X450 5s. 6d., representing com- mission on the sale of a colliery in the anthracite district, was brought by Robert Clarke Davey, of Cardiff, against the Caebontbren Railway and Colliery Company, Llanelly. Mr. John Sankey, K.C., and Mr. Llewelyn Williams, M.P. (instraoted by Mr. G. F. Willett, Cardiff), appea-rcd for the claimant, and the respondents were repre- sented by Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., M.P., and Mr. Villiers Meager (instructed by Messrs Rees and Edwards, Llanelly). The plaintiff contended that he had beep instrumental in introducing a customer for Caebontbren Colliery, Llanelly, for £ 9,000, he having received a commission note from the defendants' agent, under which he was to receive 5 per cent. on the agreed purchase price, this being the outcome of negotiatione with Mr. Roes Edmunds, Llanelly. the solici- tor to the company. The defendants denied liability to pay commission to Mr. Davey on the ground that (as they put it in corre- spondence) "a fresh introduction had been made by another man." (Proceeding.)
BOTH TO BLAMEI
BOTH TO BLAME I To-day t,he Appeal Oou.rt dismissed with coste an appeal of tihe owners of the Bedfast stea-mer Curran from a decision of Mr. Justice Bta.rgrave Deane pronouncing both th,a,t vessel and the Liverpool steamer Ince Bank to blame for a collision between them off the Lizard on May 30 last in a fog. The appellants con.-t ended that the Ince Bank should have been pronounced alone to blame. The Ince Bank wae bound from London to Sharpness with lumtber, and the Curran from. Swansea to Rouen with coal.
DANCING SHOES TO BE WORN I
DANCING SHOES TO BE WORN I Visitors to functions at Cardiff City-hall should take the precaution to wear dancing slippers in future, for at the property and markets committee to-day it was resolved, on the proposition of Mr. Charles Wall, to insist on this. It was poinited out that at the recent Liberal reception considerable injury was done to the polished floor of the Marble- hall by those who wore, not the regulation dancing shoes, but full-grown, well-sprigged walking boots. These caused considerable injury in the way of scratches, as well as to the polished floor of the Assembly-room.
BLOW AND HEART DISEASEI
BLOW AND HEART DISEASE I Mr. W. L. Yorath, tihe Cardiff coroner, con- ducted an inquiry to-day into the Oea(Vh of William Eiwin Wellings, shipwright, of 25, Hereford-street, Cardiff, who died on Wednes- day last. The widow said that two years ago deceased was srtiHick with a bar of iron whilst follow&mg his employment, at the MoumtBtuairt Dry Dock. He had not worked since, and had reecived a. sum of C6 as com- pensation. In reply to Mr. Venatoles, who appeared for the Mounitst uart Dry Pock Com- pany, Mi's. Wellings stated that deceased bad neevr complained of heart trouble. He had rheumatic fev-er about five yeans ago, but did not experience any pains until the acci- dent. The accident was described by a fellow- workmate, named Pengelly, who said that the iron struck deceased on the head. Dr. D. Jones Badd tfhiait the deceased suffered from u, diseased heart. The jury returned a ver- ddiot of "Death from heart disease, and found that the blow accelerated death.
WHEAT AND COTTON KINGI
WHEAT AND COTTON KINGI Mr. J. A. Paitten, the well-known wheat and cotton king. arrived at Liverpool to-da.y by the liner Mauritania. He stated he had come for a short holiday with his junior partner, who was going1 on to s.orutihern Europe. He hoped to return on Saturday, and his visit had no gignificanoe.

POOR AND DIVOiiCE
POOR AND DIVOiiCE GREATER FACILITIES NEEDED Dangers of Separation MARRIAGE TIE HELD IN LOW ESTEEM Mr. Robert Moore, a barrister, asfociated with the Poor Man's Lawyer Department of Oambridge University Settlement, Camber- well-road, gave evidence to-day before the Divorce Commission. He stated t-hat he had been consulted personally by the poor of that district in over a thousand oases. Divorce and separation matters were very common subjects on which advice was sought. Lord Crorell (the Chairman): What strikes you most in your dealings with this class ot poor?—'The frequency of parties living with a member of the opposite sex without being married. Have they any sense of wrong in doing this?—No; they look upon it as a. matter of necessity. Having separated from their hus- band or wife, they cohabit with someone else. The marriage tie is held in very low esteem. No sanctity and very little import- ance is attached to it. The poor prefer to be married, but it is mostly due to the fact that it gives them a legal hold over their husbands. How do you find this bears on separation orders and divorce?—The low estimate in which the marriage tie is held is very largely due to the difficulty of dissolving the mar- riage tie. On what grounds do you form that conclu- sion ?-I think that if there were greater facilities for obtaining divorce where there are grounds for it, the innocent party would seek dlissolution of the existing marriage before entering into a fresh partnership. The expense at present amounts to a deiiial of the benefits of the divorce laws. What, in your view, is the remedy?—In Lon- don, I would suggest very diffidently, that there should be an official solicitor att-a/shed to elach district, whose duty it would be to investigate the applications for leave to sue in forma pauperis, and, having granted leave on good ground, he ought to render them assistance in the collec- tion of evidence and in the marshalling of the evidence before the court. I would go further, and say that in a proper case the judge should be authorised to certify for the payment of expenses to witnesses out of the public purse. A practising solicitor could deal with these cases as a department o<f his business. I do not thing it would occupy his whole time. And where should these cases be hea,rd ?-In the High Court for the London eases. Beyond London you want a different system aJto-1 gether. The prohibitive expense in London applies witoh additional force in the country. I think some form of local court is abso- lutely essential. My own suggestion is that there should be special district judges appointed. These courts should have power to remit to the High Court. Separation Orders What are your views on separation orders? I think separation orders as the law stands at present are absolutely essential. They are necessary for the protection of the wife. At the same time, there is no getting over the fact that separation orders make for immo- ] rality. When the parties are separated they strike up an irregular union owing to the necessity they feel of having a mate. And what remedy do you suggest -I do not know that I have any substantial remedy except making divorce easier. Dealing with the grounds off divorce, Mr. Moore said a wife whose husband was habitually guilty of misconduct ought to be able to get a divorce without having to prove cruelty, as should also the wife whose hus- band resorted with women of low character. In his opinion, a single act of misconduct, on the part of a man did not entitle his wife to divorce. Answering Mr. Thomas Burt, M.P., Mr. Moore said that an isolated aot of miscon- duct on the part of a woman, in his view, ought not necessarily to be grounds for her husband's divorce. The court should have the disorttion to deal with such cases. To the. Archbishop of York, the witness answered that he was speaking of the very poor in the district with which he was familiar. His remarks did not apply to the better artisan class or the regular labouring classes. On his view that a wife's misconduct ought not necessarily to be grounds for her husband s application for divorce, Mr. Moore gave instances of how a wife without means a,nd deserted by her husband was subjected to great temptation. The Archbishop of York: Do you think that making divorce easy would' add to the sanctity of marriage in the eyes of the world?—I think so. Mr. Edward Brierley: I was surprised to hear your expression of opinion as to the lax dews of the ma.rna.ge tie held by the poor I suppose you refe-rred to casual workers a.nd dissolute people.—No, I can't say that I described the people who come to us. It is a large, nondescript class, incompetent and helpless for the most part. (Proceeding-.)
TERRITORIAL MUSKETRY I
TERRITORIAL MUSKETRY I If the figures given in the Duke of Bed- ford's pamphlet are correct, ajid there is no reason to doubt their accuracy, there iti evidently much to be desired before the Terri- torial force can be pretende-d to be in a state of complete readiness for war. In July last there were 674 officers and 67,087 men who had never fired even a recruit's course of musketry. There were 1,085 officers and 53,367 men who, though they had fired a recruit's course, had not fired the trained soldier's course. We have, therefore, 67,087 men totally untrained, and 53,367 who have once fired twenty rounds, leaving 140,222 men trained in musketry a<ioording to the standard of the Territorial force. And what is this stan- dard? About five hours' musketry and 112 rounds in four years' service; while the old Militia, which the force is supposed to have superseded, -fired a recruit's course of 105 rounds in ten days, and an annual course of 75 rounds in six diays.
DROWNED -ON VOYAGEI
DROWNED ON VOYAGE I Mr. W. L. Yorath held an inquest at Car- diff on Monday into the death of John White (32), a native of Jersey, who was drowned at sea. Mr. Lean (Messrs. Moxon and Lean) watched the proceedings on behalf of the shipowners.—William T. Hall, chief officer of the Drumcliff, on which deceased was an A.B., said that on March 4 the vessel was on a voyage from Cardiff to London, and deceased was drowned. Witness believed he went under the ship.-The jury returned a verdict of syncope, and found that the exer- tion of the work aocelerated death.

lSipS. T. Evans's Seat
lSipS. T. Evans's Seat PROSPECTS OF TRIPLE FIGHT I The prospects of a three-cornered bye-elec- tion in Mid-Glamorgan are increasing. Little disposition is shown by the Liberals to admit the Labour claim to the seat, and Messrs. Clem Edwards, Leif Jones, and S. P. J. Merlin are mentioned as possible candi- dates. Should Mr. G. H. WilliliJm not again stand in the Unionist interest, it is expected the camdidate will be Mr. F. H. Gaskell, who fought East Glamorgan at the wenera-i eleotion. A New Divorce President. A tyondon news agency learns on good authority that Sir Samuel T. Evans, K.C., the new President of the Probate. Divorce, and Admiralty Division, will be sworn in by the Lord Chancellor on Thursday afternoon next, and will take his seat probably on Monday next at the Divorce Court. A Bombshell The unexpected resignation of Sir John Charles Bigham as Presiaent of the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division has come like a bombshell in legal circles. Everybody in the La.w Courts on Monday was talking about it, the sensation bein.g heightened by the fact that much to the surprise of the large gathering in the Divorce Court the late President, rfir John Bigham, did not take his seat. The official list contained a number of ca..oe6 down for disposal by his lordship. Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane made absolute t'hree decree nisi which were in Sir John Bigham s list, and the remainder of the oases were postponed. Curiosity as to the reason for Sir John Bigliam's resignation is deepened by the knowledge that only last year he succeeded Lord Gorell as President of the Divorce Division. The offioial reason for the resigna- tion is "m-lieaith and old age." He is 70, but it is suid Sir John Rig-ham has never properly liked the somewhat distasteful work of t.he Divorce Courts. In the course of his evidence at the Royal Commission on Divorce Sir John Bigham created a sensation by his outspoken views on sex morality. It is said these views have been the subject of bitter discussion in high circles. Sir S. T. Evans's Resignation Sir S. T. Eva-ns, K.C., the new President of the Divorce Division, has sent the following letter to Alderman Hopkin Morgan, J.P., Neath, the chairman of the Mid-Glamorgan Liberal Association: — London, March 7, 1910. Dear Mr. Morgan,— You will have known by this time that the fates have willed that my membership for Mid-Glamorgan should be at an end, by reason of my appointment to the position of President of the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division of the High Court of Jus- tice. It is hardly necessary for me to tell you that I did not in any way seek the posi- tion, but the Prime Minister and the Lord Chancellor were pleased (upon many grounds, as they kindly informed me) to do me the great honour of submitting my name to his Majesty the King for appointment to this high and responsible post. I feel strongly the wrench in leaving the House of Commoils after a Parliamentary life of over twenty years, and the severance of the long and happy connection between my native and faithful constituency and myself-a connection which, i trust, may be looked upon as honourable to both. In acknowledging with sincere gratitude the uniform generosity and kindnese. and in saying Good-bye," I may be allowed to express the hope that the constituency will remain true to i i.19 traditions, and will ever be loyally and faithfully served. With kindest remembrances to all,—I am, dear Mr. Morgan, yours very sincerely, S. T. EVANS.

Irate Councillors I
Irate Councillors I PERSONALITIES EXCHANCED I An acrimonious discussion took place at a meeting of the Llanelly Urban District Council on Monday night, when the recom- mendation of the waterworks oommittee that a sum of zC500 be paid to the clerk (Mr. Spowa-rt) and fAOO to the surveyor (Mr. Wat- keys) was brought forward. Mr. E. T. Jones presided. Mr. Bramwell Jones moved as an amend- ment that the council should first decide on the principle of granting an honorarium to the officials. He said Mr. Nathan Griffiths, who had been drawing upon his own imagi- nation, had made statements that were abso- lutely wrong. He (Mr. Griffiths) was one of the most expensive members of the council, and he (the speaker) had challenged him to deny it. He had been responsible for squan- dering hundreds of pounds, which is one caee meant a niqepenny rate, but when they had something equal to a 3d. rate before the council he went down to his constituents and made rambling statements without a.ny basis whatever. The Chairman seconded the amendment, and said that if the amendment was carried it would go a long way to effect a compro- mise. Mr. Nathan Griffiths eaid he would vote against the amendment. On being inter- rupted Mr. Griffiths said, I am somewhat embarrassed by the Philistines that sit round me, and I cannot address the chair. I believe I am entitled to speak at this couincil." Mr. Guest: Yee, as much as all of ua put together. (Laughter.) Mr. Griffiths: I have a mandate from my constituents to vote against this recommen- dation, and I a-m not prepa,roo--to state that the clerk and surveyor are entitled to a single fraction. Mr. D. J. Davies denied that any encourage- ment had been given by the members of the waterworks committee to the clerk and surveyor to put forward their claims. The committee that had been appointed to inves- tigate the matter had simply squabbled with each other and got more into the fog. The. amendment was lost, and Mr. Willis Jones proposed a further amendment that a full inquiry be made into tho whole que-, tion. Mr. William David said the matter should not be rushed through whilst the town was in hysterics and in pajiic over the question. In the course of further discussion Mr. .Nathan Griffiths sa-id the chairman was partial to Mr. Willis Jones, who, he said, was ono of his kidney. There were cries of "WitMraw," whereupon Mr. Griffiths said that he did not apply the term to any member of the council. Mr James Davieg: To whom did it apply? Ux. Griffiths: I am not afraid of what I said. Mr. Bramwell Jones: He paid that Mr. Jones was one of the kidney whom he classed as scampg. Mr. Nathan Griffiths: I merely said that Mr. Jones was one of the kidney because the chairman is partial to those who axe --ri favour of granting this momoy. Mr. Bramwell Jones: It is unfair, and if I were you, Mr. Chai, I would stop the business of the council. Mr. Griffiths: Stop the business if you like. Mr. Willis Jones said he was eorry to hear what he had heard in the council and outside, and no self-respecting man could sit down and listen to such degenerating and opprobrious terms. If he consulted his own feelings and not his duty towards the public, he would have refused to allow any man of that kind to sit alongside of men of independence, spirit, and moral standing in the town. They would eoon degenerate to the class of municipal politics as they had in America, where they had men who were full of suspicion towards others, but who were full of mystery themselves. He had heard suggestions made by the type of men of Mr. Griffiths that they on the council were simply on the make, and that they were suffering those proposals for what they could get out of them. rt wa-s a crying shame not to have sufficient faith in their fellow-men and do what was right in the interests of Llanelly, and not to create ola&s feeling. In the interests of the conduct of the meeting he would insist that the word should be withdrawn. Mr. Nathan Griffiths: I will withdraw after the tirade that bafl been made against ice. I think I am entitled to make a-n explana- tion. The Chairmaai: I do not think that any good can come of it. Mr. Griffiths: Then yon are getting partial again. I am quite entitled to reply. I say again he is one of your kidney. Mr. W. Roberte, of the 'Th-&d- and Labour Council, expressed regret at the tone of the apeeohes, and protested agaj.net the attacks. After further disouwion the matter was referred to an inon committee con sisbisi £ aa<-alL tiha mainbeffB. of tiie oouawriL
I Society Divorce Suit !
Society Divorce Suit BARONET AS CO-RESPONDENT In the Divorce Co-day Mr. Richard In the Divorce C,(M- Cecil Leigh, whose position was not stated, was granted il decree nisi on the ground of the misconduct of his wife, Kathleen, with Sir Wroth Periasm Christopher Lrthibridige, Bart. The case was undefended. Counsel said the petitioner and the respon- dent were married in 1895. The wife had been married before. There was no issue of the marriage. Their married life was not a happy one, and in September, 1904, the parties a-greed to separate, and the husband allorwed his wife £1.100 a year. The oo-respondent was a friend of the wife's family, and he visited her at the houae on one occasion after the marriage, and oottneel said he believed the co-respondent knew the lady was married. In 1909 the respondent went to Hamburg, and was joined by a gentleman who paseed as Mr. L«igh. The co-respondent was seen at the railway station, and he gave the name of Lidia-rd. Mr. Leigh gave evidence, and said he was married to the reaiwndc-nt at the Registry- ofiiee, Ghel<sea. They afterwards lived a-t Eatcn-plaee. The co-respwndemt had known the respondent many years before her mar- riage. In reply to Mr. Justice Bargrave T-vane, the petitioner aaiid he was not sure whether the oo-reepoaident knew -the respondent was a married woman, but he thought so. Witnesses from a hotel at Hamburg were called to prove that the respoiident and co- respondent stayed there together under the name of Leigh. Mr. Kalb managing-clerk to Wontner and Co.. said when he saw co-respondent at Ham- burg he asked him if his name was Let-h- bridge, and the co-respondent replied, "No; you have made a mistake; it is Liddiard." Lta.ter witness saw the oo-respondent in Lon- don, and said to him, "Sir Wroth Leth- bridge," He repl:«d, "Yes." Witness said, "I have had the pleasure of meeting you before at Hamburg." He said, "Yes, yes," and seemed very excited. Witness thereupom handed him the citation papers. (Proceeding.)

IWOMAN'S TERRIBLE RECORDI
I WOMAN'S TERRIBLE RECORD I Mary Jane Ma.rt.in (52) made her 186th appearan.ee at Cardiff on Monday on a warrant charging her with using bad lan- guage in Herbert-street last September Inspector Bingham explained that she was liberated on bail in order to get witnesses, but did not come back, and he arrested her on the warrant. She was also charged with assaulting Police-constable William Fox and Police-constable Henry Parsons. Police-con- stable Fox said the woman struck him on the nose and kicked him, and Police-constable Parsons alleged that Mary bit him on the finger. They had to take her to the station on a truck. Inspector Bingham said defen- dant first came before the court in 1877, and her a,ppearanoes had been very regular since. Altogether she had served eighteen years and 36 weeks in prison, whilst she had been cautioned 56 times. She had been up 23 time6 for assaulting the police, and once had a con- current term of eight months for attempting to stab the police. For police assaults alone she had served 136 weeks. As a disorderly character she had been up 119 times, and seven times for robbery with violence. Other charges included damage to police uniforms, smashing workhouse and police windows, and loitering. Her terms included three years, eighteen months, twelve months, and nine months. She was, undoubtedly, a most violent woman. The inspector added that he arrested her within an hour after she re- entered the city. Mr. C. H. Bird gave her three months'. hard labour, and upon hear- ing the sentence the prisoner made a dash at the constables.
rA __CLAIM FOR iCI0,000 I
r A CLAIM FOR iCI0,000 I A special meeting of the Cardiff Museum Committee will be held to-morrow (Wednes- day) for the purpose of considering a claim sent in by Mr. Edwin Seward, the well- known architect, in respect of wha.t he con- siders to have been his appointment some five or six years ago ae architect of the new museum to be built at Cardiff. It is common knowledge that this is a matter which has been in dispute between Mr. Seward and the museum committee of the Cardiff Corpora- tion for the past five years, and we under- stand th-a-t Mr. Seward, acting on legal advice, has now put forward a, claim for .f,lo,ooo, and that the case will come before a judge of tho High Court, sitting without a jury. The case is not entered for the present assizes at Cardiff, but may, possibly, be tried at the next Swansea Assizes. One of our representatives got into communication with Mr. Seward over the telephone on Monday evening, and invited him to confirm or refute the accuracy or otherwise of the above par- ticulars of his claim. Mr. Seward courteously, but firmly, declined to do either, on the ground that he was not justified as a litigant concerned in the action in doing anything that would help to make his claim pnblic before it had been inquired into by the museum committee. We are in a position to state, however, that the amount of £10,000 is I substantially the sum claimed by Mr. Seward.
HOW AP IWAN DIED_________I
HOW AP IWAN DIED Private letters recerived at Carnarvon con- j tain full particulars of the oold-blooded murder of Llwyd ap Iwan in Patagonia on December 29. Three men entered the store and engaged Ap Iwan and his two store assistants in friendly conversation. At a pre-oonceived signal, however, the bandits suddenly drew their revolvers, a-nd crying Hamds up," had the three Welshmen at their mercy. Ap Iwan was roughly ordered, at the point of a revolver to lead one of the bandits into the safe- room. No one but the actual murderer and his viotim witnessed the final tragedy in the inner room, but from what the two store assistants, held up by the other bandits' revolvers, actually heard and by what was subsequently discovered, the story oan be pieced together. No sooner did Ap Iwa.n find himself alone with only a single oppo- nent tA1.a.n he leaped upan the bandit. A shot I partially disabled the gallant Welshman, an({ a terrific struggle easued, and it was only after receiving four bullets in his body that I Ap Iwan succumbed. The robber hastily opened and rifled the safe. Returning with his booty to the outer store, he grimly remarked that he had done for Ap Iwan for attempting to defend the safe. Loading their booty, the bandits made off across the pampas, telling the store assis- tants they were welcome to summon all the world to their aid. The store assistants found Ap Iwam dead by the aide of the safe he had bravely, but vainly, defended.

I Boy Scouts' Movement. I GENERAL'S GRATIFICATION I Previous to leaving for Swansea to-day, General Baden-Potwell explained his un- J bounded satisfaction with the exceedingly smart manner in which the Boy Scouts turned out at, Cardiff yesterday, and said that their general appearance and behaviour on parade were fully equal to the best he had seen in Great Britain. He could never have des-ircd better arrangements for the inspec- tion, and what pleased him, above all things, was the great number of efficiency ■ badges worn by the Sccute, four of whom had also dist-ingui-shed them selves by life-saving. He expressed his personal thanks to General Lee and Colonel Wilpon, the commie- sioner and deputy commissioner respec- tively for the Cardiii district, for all t&at they had done to make the Boy Scout movement a sweoefis in the district. In this, as in a.11 other national movements, Cardiff was setting the other towns in Wales f> fine example. The goneml announced that Viscount Tredegar had kindly consented to t as president of the Monmouthshire Scouts, and that Lord Gla riiis k would also act as president and commissioner of the Scouts in Breeonehire. Mr. O. M. Williams, of Newport, had also kindly promised to act, in conjunc- tion with other ffantiemen, in organising a 'branch of the Boy Scouts in the Uskside town B.P."

The New- port Athletic Club, the finest athletic club in this district, if not in England, hope to appoint a boxing instructor for the next winter's gymnasium term. I Three Knock-Out in Cardiff Contests The spectators at the Cardiff Badminton Club'e weekly touriiament had plenty for their money on Monday, there being three dramatic knock-oute. The first came in the six-round bout between Ivor Jones, a local footballer, and Young Priest (Cardiff). The former was much heavier and found the uoee early. Priest took the count in the fourth round, but was a worthy opponent. Rivalry of a11 acute nature brought Charlie James aud Young1 Corsi together for a ten- round match, and the opening bout was nt a furious pace, Conei scoring with remarkable lefts. James, however, kept cool and collected, with the result that when his opponent weakened he took the aggressive and i-eiit him down for the full count in the third round. Kid Fitzpatrick (of Birmingham) wa.s out- weighted by Young Proberte (Merthyr; in the twenty-round match for £ 15 a-side and the club purse, but he showed really clever foot- work, and put ill such pretty leads that all were heartily sorry to see him put out in the fifth round.

C-ommaille (not ,an?,,  ( i t?o the wicliet by out, 39) was accompanied to the wicket by bourse, while Bucikenhara. and Blyt-he shared the attack. Eight runs were added to the total and then CommaiHe was caught and boiled by Buckenham. Faulkner came in but, after making 10 he fellL) t- cat on by Fane off the fa-st bowler, the fourth wicket falling at 113. Sibley Snooke Ujeii joined Nourse, and the score rose slowly to 131, when a double change was made in the bowling, Thonnpscn going on for Blyt.he and Woclley for Buckenha.ni- This change was imme- diately yncoeasful. the South African captain being clean bowled by Woolloy with the total unchanged. Sinclair was the next man iu, and he hit up ten befora he was dismissed at 143. Nourse, who had made 17, waa then partnered by Striker.
