I Darran Pit Disaster VICTIM'S WIDOW ALLEGES NEGLIGENCE The action of Brown v. the Rhymney Iron Company, a claim for damages, was heard at Glamorgan Assizes to-day (before Mr. Justice Gbannell), the plaintiff being Mary Ann Brown who &ued on behalf of herself and her seven children tfor the loes of the life of her husband in the explosion at the Darran Coalpit, belonging to the defendants, on the 29th of October, 1909, on which occasion 26 other men were killed. Mr. Sa-nkoy, K.C.. and. Mr. Hugh Jones (instructed by Mr. T. J. Thomas, Bargoed) were for the plaintiffs, and Mr. B. Francit-Wiliiams, K.C., and Mr. A. Parsons (instructed by Messrs. C. and W. Kenshole) acted for the defendants. Mr Sa.nkey in opening, said that the plain- tiff's case was that, through negligence of the, defendants' firing a sh-ot and by reason of breaches of the statutory duties under the Coal Mines Regulations Act, the explosion occurred. The defendants aid 'hey were not guilty of a.ny such breaches of the statutory duties, ea;i(i that the explosion was owing to the negligence of ceitaiii men in the same em- ployment as the deceased man, and. there- fore, in law they were not liable. The jury would not be troubled to assess the damages to which plaintiff would be entitled—in the event of establishing the dfalldantd liabi- lity ais it had been agreed upon and would bo apportioned by his ^ordship. j THE DEATH HOLl. Counsel said that out of the 27 men who had died in this explosion live had lost their l'ven in their heroic efforts to recue fellow- workers. It was a hoivse-ooal- pit, and was worked by naked fight, a considerable portion of it was very wet. The dust was cleared 01103 a fortnight, and it was to be cleared on the day of the explosion. Counsel how John Jones, the authorised shot finer, sent ^Sidney Anthony for rippite to Mai-jt a large, stone that ha<! falip-ii, i he repairers having failed to break i with sladgrs. Tho theory for the plaintiffs was that (he oxpi-oraon was due totht, hole in the atone not being properly drilled, and the shot was fired without "stemming." Mr. Sankey directed particular attention to the regulation respecting the watering of a locality before «ho-t-firing, and de-ilt wiih, the obligations which he contended were a > lute on the owners In resrard to the regiila-I 1 ions quoted. Reasonable Precautions Alter hearing legal argument, his Lord- announced ihat be would, lepve it to the jury to guy whether there was in fact any breach of the regulations, a.nd aesumine that the jury found it a fact, then he as a judge would have to look at the wording of the rules to find whether they imposed abso- lute obligation on the owners to see that tbe rules were otserved. b; hi* opinion it was i their duty to see that reasonable and ri roli precautions were taken, that the rules were carried out. and, as in the David and David v. Broad bank case, he would say that tbe onllS was on the owners to show that they did take reasonable precautions. (Proceeding.)

1 Newport Dispute CHARGES OF INTIMIDATION At Newport to-day the raagistrate's-oourt was crowded in anticipation of the hearing of a number of summonses for alleged inti- midation, xrusing out of the dock dispute of a month ago.

There were eight justices on the bench, amoDgst them being Alderman R. Wilkinson, wJw, axidre.-oing Framptom, eaid some question iiad wui riuiiea aM to himself as a member of the corporation sitting for the case. He wished to know what was the posi- j tion as Mr. F ramp tan understood it. Mr. Franipton suggested that as there were j arbitration proceedings pending against the corporation arising out of t3ime trouble, meinoers of the corporation would deem it right to retire from the bench. Alderman Wilkinson: I consider that I have a perfect right to sit and adjudicate. Ab-. Frainptitt said he did not think it was right for counsel to argue with anj member of the bemoh, but he would at the proper tilThe make a few observations on the matter. (Prooeeding)

I THE RED RUBE CASE The hearing was resumed in the King's Bench on Tuesday of the action by Joseph Stoddart for damages for alleged libel against the Associated Newspapers Company iLimited). Cross-examined regarding the Red Rube inoident^he plaintiff said he found out that a man named Mills induced the jockey to pull the horse. He got Mills to return the £ 450 he backed the horse for, but he now admitted he ought to have disclosed what he knew to the National Hunt Committee.

CELLAR CRIME CRIPPEN'S VISITS TO FRANCE Reward for His Captu re ARE MISSING COUPLE ON THE CONTINENT ? i A circumstantial rumour pained currency on Tuesday that Dr." Crippen, who is wain ted for the Camden Town murder, had been arrested at Retford and conveyed by train to London. The story, unfortunately, proved to be untrue, and is said to have originated through a man being seen in cus- tody of the poiice at Newark Station. Retford is a. small town in North Notting- hamshire. about eighteen miles north of Newark, and is a junction between the Great Northern and Great Central Railways. It has about 15,000 inhabitants, and is one of those places in which a stranger invariably excite comment—the last place in the world a fugitive from justice with his portrait widely circulated would select to hide in. The police have offered a reward of £250 for Crippen's apprehension, and Mr. Will Thorne, a Labour M.P., intends to-day to catechise the Home Secretary as to the policy permitting Crippen to slip through their lingers after their attention had been cailed to the suspicious circumstances surrounding the reported death of lieitle Elmore. Tltt) new police notice been translated is:to the various Continental language. alIll will be distributed all over the world. It bears a new .snapshot- portrait of Crippen which is oelieved to bear a more striking iesemblauoo to the missing man than any yet published, as well as a portrait of Miss Le Neve. The offer of a, reward by the police, which is an unii6ual course in murder ca<se», ihe reward, (if any; generally being offered by parties injured by the crime, is a.n indica- tion that the Scotland authorities are or., their mettle aaid intend to leave no stone unturned to effect all arrest. it indicates, moreover, that the poiice have come to a "dead end" in their investigations, and, with- out further information, are at a io-c where to turn. The press are, however, given to understand by the, chief officials at c Ya-rd that the police have not i'ivcti up hope ■vi dweoverisig. the whereabouts oi Dr. { rip pen and his companion. On the con- t.r;).ry. they profees to be still sanguine, and regard tho luiss'ng typist as a factor in their Lnour, So long as he b accompanied by her. thfy think his difficulty in continuing to eiudo observation is twofold, while lie dare not das-ort her in face of the danger that, when no longer uuder his control, she may communicate ,,vi,h the police. Visits to Boulogne PARIS. Wednesday. The Matin publishes from a. Boulogne correspondent details of the visit- of Dr Crippen and Miss 1..e Neve to Boulogne on the eveninsr of May 20. At the hotel where they stayed Dr Crippen wrote his. name in the visitors' book, but the signature is hardly legible, and appears to have escaped the attention or the poiice- oftloer8 who recently made investigations-. | The couple left Boulogne OIl in ay 22, but Dr. Crippen returned alone. About three weeks ago he lunched at the taint hotel, but did not pass the night, altlboug- i he again returned on the following Jay. He i.-s said to have complained of feeling nervous, and ordered spirits, which he drank quickly. Since that visit he has not been seen at Boulogne. The French Maid's Story PARIS, Wednesday. A "Matin" representative has interviewed Valentine I/«-oy, the young girl, aged Beveuteetn, who was maid at 59, Hilldrop- cr.c,cf,itt. S,Iie had felt certain that Dr. Crippen and Miss Le ineve were married, and declared that they seemed to be very fond of each other. There wss never any dispute, and the habits of the couple were very regular. The only matter which attracted Valen- tine's ), attention as specially noteworthy was that her mistress had many splendid dresses and jewels, which she very rareiy wore. She did not know anything about the sup- posed murder, and eaid that Dr. Crippen had always maintained his accustomed calm while she wae present. She had seen nothing suspicious in the cellar, which the doctor occasionally entered. He joked with her once while aiding her to split some wood. The household disappe.are.d after the visit of police officials. On July 8 and on July 11 Valentin-e Lecoy left the house, returning to Boulogiie on July 12. -Central News. Where Have They Gone ? Where have they gÚltJoe? asks the Daily Cair-onicle." In all probability they are now c,n the Continent, most likaly in France. It is known that the doctor is well acquainted with many French resorts, par. ticularly those which are little frequented by .(-r(lizio.ry tourists. What is more, he speaks the language. Miss Ie Neve, o.n the contrary, has little knowledsre of French. But it is doubtful whether she would be able to take a.ny intelligent interest in t-be French news- papers, and still more, whet,her the doctor still assuming thai, she is ignorant of his secret—would allow her to see them. It. is conceivable thai, Dr. Orippen and Miss le Neve are now staying at some little place in Fra.Jl<Oe. off the track of the hue-and-cry, and that the typist is in complete ignorance of the murder. Her friends refuse to believe that 4e would stay with the dootor knowing that he was wanted for the murder of his wife. I Disposal of the Bones In London one of the suggestions which is now being investigated is that the bones (f the victim, which were aLl re.move-d before the remainder of the body was buried in the cellar are to be found in Regent's Canal. Information has been given to Scotland Yard that some time ago Cripjien mado mysterious visits to the neighbourhood of Regent's Park, a.nd that he carried with him on these occa- sions a heavy bag. The neighbourhood of the canal, from Islington to Maidtl Vale, is now being searched, and it is probable that the canal itself will ba dragged. The Doctor at Swansea )-,e,t,erday's"inform at; on- forwarded to Scot-land Yard included the following:- A man f-aid to answer the description of Peter Crippen is alleged to have visited a. costumiers establishment in Portland-place, where a good business is done in retailing second-hand dresses. Tbe stranger in ques- tion inquired for a complete rig-out for a lady. Some (fue6tions were asked, and when the assistant requested the visitor to ascend to the next floor it is said that he hurriedly left the shop. A taxicab driver employed by the Express Cab Company, in Rochester-road, Camden Town, went to the police at Caledonian-road Station last night with an account of a con- versation he had with a man, whom be alleges was Crippen a fortnight a,go, 'at Camden Town. The man, who was slightly under the influence of drink, had told him in conversation that he was a dentist, and that a few years ago he had had to leave Swansea. He made a request to be driven to a public-house at Oxford-street, but suddenly turned away.

A MISSING ARCHDUKE I BRUSSELS, Tuesday. In the course of an interview with a representative of the Brussels newspaper Derniere Henre," Captain Leoodnle, who was in command of the Antarctic expedition boat Belgica., declared that he was oort&in that he had met Johaain Orth (the Archduke Johann Salvator) on liie return from Polar eaas. Captain Leoainte explained that, having left the Belgioa at Santa Cruz, he arrived on the shores of Lake Leone, in the contested area between Chili and Argentina. There, four hundred or five hundred kilometres from any human habitation, he came upon a roel'cse speaking French, English, Bussian, and German who was living in a tent. This person, who seemed to be of noble origin, wae living alone with his dogs and horses. Captain Lecointe stayed a, week with him and took his photograph, which, however, he had simoo lost. Publication by the Derniere Heirre" of Johann Orth's portrait had filled htm with the conviction that it was the saxae persoai who offered him bospftality.- Renter.

STRiKE SPREADING 1 25,000MEN AFFECTED N.E. Traffic Dislocated I CLERKS ACT AS FIREMEN A Darlington correspondent wires that the strike on the North Ea/stern Railway is rtill spreading, but Darlington is not affected. The drivers and firement at Middlesbrough ref,u,ed to et-art to-day. and the eastern a.nd central part., of the system are now almost Rt. a standstill. Trains from Newcastle to York and other towns north of Darlington are most lincertain. At Tynedo-ck. the most import ant coal shipping centre on the North-east Coast, there was almost an entire cessation of work this morning. Shunters left in a Ixwiy. and as a result various lines leading to coal staithes, which had already ben coenider- a-bly congested with empty wagons, were com- pletely blocked. A great nnmber of thins are Lving- waiting for their cargoes.. All grades of railwa-yitien are now out in Tynedoek district, with the exception 01 a iew firemen a no locomotive men. The services of foremen rind officials are being requisitioned in-the endea- vour to run a few ti-aine. Ail excursions have been cancelled, and the strike has assumed alarmin-o- importance that excd" anything in history of simi?r trouMee in the North- Ivivtern system. service between inewcaette end South Shields is seriously dislocated. Clerks are doing tha work of the strikers. Great dislocation of traffic was caused this morning in Hartlepool as a result of the railwaymen strike, and shipping is .■"orioitsly affected. This morning only two trains for the south and one for the north had got away. I Traffic Dislocated It is stated tha-t clerks a.re taking tme places of firemen on the engines. On Tuesday night the parcel vanmen of the Sunderland Station ceased wm-kmg, and there was, consoquontly, no delivery or collection of parcels. At a meeting on Tuesday the Ha.!t?poo' r?Iwavm?n deoided to c&a?o work 4mm?- diately. The decision affects all grades, and altogether 1,033 men are involved, incmdfng passenger goods, locomotive, and doeii departments. A complete disorganisation of the traffic, is a.nti oi p.. ted. The men of Heddon Goods Station. Sunderland, also decided to cease work to-day, and the passenger depart- ment staff were considering the matter until a late hour. Other meetings were held on Tuesday night with a similar object and result in other places. The effect will probably be that the I Mp of the North-Eastern Railway Company's !to*. I company will have great difficulty in carry- ing on any service for passengers or goods. The men due to commence at ten o clock on Tuesday -iht did not go. The official estimate is that from 25,000 to 30.000 men will he. affected. The situation is viewed with alarm in face of the obvious determination of the men. An official notice issued on Wednesday night at Newcastle informed the public of the probable curtailed yeniee and the company s inability to undertake any responsibility in ,he drcumstanøe6 lor any delay that may arise therefrom. I Coal Trade Suspended According to telegrams received at Cardiff Decks to-day, the railway strike in the North of England has caused practically a 8uspen. sion of business in the coal tl'de a.t all the ports affected. At Newcastle chartering was shopped. Colliery owners aim merchants, however, were taking the view t-nat the trouble would so^m be ever. At Cardiff there was very lit tie ehang-e ill the position of the market, but there is 110 doubt that ii the strike continues many (lays it will have a very marked affect both 011 the coal trade and chartering. Colliery owners were hold- ing for firm prices, whilst merchants showed reluctance to charter totma?e \a.l div?r- sion of boats from the North of Kn??nd is catoula??t to hring weakness in freights. The South Shields branch of the Amalga- I mat&i Society of Railway &ervant8 to-day decided to support the men in other districts by ceasing work. Rei>r<?sentati\es were ap- pointed to join the deputation from other districts to confer ?ith the executive officials ol the society in Newcastle I he men seemed det€j"Din? and unanimous. I Trade Paralysed A Newcastle correspondent telegraphs that the Nor th-Eus corn Railway t^oiupany has been working tussiduousiy throughout the nig-nl to cope with idle traiiic difficulties resulting from Tuesday's unexpected strike of railwaymen. The nnun line and express service has been kept going fa-li-ly regularly. but the service on the branch lines worKed only i 11 termitte n-tly. The utuiiber „„>i men who now turned out for duty this morning was comparatively small, and the difficulty was increased by the abtence of several signalmen. The electric train service from Newcastle to the seaside was suspended until alter the time at which business people travel to town, but the officials hope to restore the service partially during the day. All sorts of conveyance; have been requi- sitioned to bring passengers to the city, and apeciai trains are being run to Tynemoutii. Docal trade is paralysed, and there is a great accumulation of perishable produce at the Forth Goods Station, Neweaatle, waiting to be despatched. I A.S, R.S. Secretary Interviewed I Mr. J. Williams, ,ecre6ary of the AM alga- mated Society of Railway ?rvan.:?? inter- ,16wed by a press repreaen?.tiYe to-day regarding tb? North Eastern R?U?ay strike, said no communication had as yet been 'I received from Newcastle with the exception of a telegram announcing that a statement would be forwarded to the secretary's offices in London. Until that arrived he could not discuss the merits of the dispute. I Cause of the Dispute The hulk of the men a-re on strike' at M idd lessbrough. Mr. William Allen, the men's veteran leader, says the strike is the outcome of a national movement and is the result of an attempt to set a.side the award of Sir Jaire6 Wotxlhouse and of the attitude of the rail- way officiate in the cutting down expenses. The men had tiecided unanimously, he eaid, to demand the withdrawal of the Woodhouse award and the abolition of the Conciliation Board, which had worked very detrimentally to the men. The executive had not sanc- tioned the movement. In Spite of the A.S R.S.? Fortunately (Rays the Financial Times "j there are several reasons for believing that the trouble is strictly local in character, and there is no indication that the present move- ment is being organised or even encouraged by the men's society. It is more than probable tha.t thie rupture has occurred in spite of the Amalgamated Society of R&ilway Servants, which has always been "reoog- nised by the North Eastern Railway Com- pany. When the Conciliation Boards were ,set up by Mr. Lloy d George the North Eastern was left out of the arrangement. In May, 1907, Mr. Richard Bell in the Railwaymen's Charter made the following statement:— We are told, if the companies recognised the men's representatives, that it would interfere with the management and disci- pline of tbe men. The North Eastern is the only great trunk line that bus recog- nised us and has done all the negotiations through the society ior over ten years. There have been no complaints from that company of interference with the manage- ment or discipline of the men. American Railway Strike MONTREAL, Wednesday. The situation arising out of the strike on the Grand Trunk I tail-way ssymteim is to-day seriono, and it is estimated that 16,000 men are idle. There ie tali of modiation, hut the attitude of the men is not a hopeful one, and it is openly declared by their representatives that there will now be a fight to a finish.

The Month of Flowers I BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY AT CARDIFF Records were beaten ait. the twenty-secoml annual show oi the Cardiff 1MHl County Horti- cultural Society, opened a.t the Sophia Gar- dens to-day, particularly in the number of exhibits—250 more than last year. These were displayed in seven tent.s, the largest of which measured JOCft and the smallest 50ft. Ali the judges were unanimous in their praise of the fiiow. It was an unfortunate fact that an overcast sky rather tended to perturb the fair sex. for while manv of the toilets were remark- ably beautiful, other ladies came in more sombre attire than they would have donned had the weather been bright and fine. In accordance with the experience of the past few years the sweet peas were again all outstanding fC3,ture of the show, and in I the classes devoted to this delightful flower, 1r. T.

Though fewer in number, the roses were equal to those exhibited at the National Rose j Society's show. and :it the recent Botanioal j Sopiety s show in Regent's Park, London. re were no gronps of roses to excel those o the Cardiff Show, though the latter weer smaller.

Bristol Dock Trouble NT.WPORT MEN VOTE TO STOP WORK I I J But the Bulk of Them Resume There was a good (ieal of oross-purposee at work at Newport on Tuesday. When the meeting which had been adjourned from Monday night was called outside the Alex- andra Dock Hotel Mr. J. Oasey, who pre- sided, impres-sed upon the men that they should realise the responsibility of the step they were asked to take, anu not be so rash as to cease work. Mr. Wm. Tooner, one of the Bristol deputa- tion, said he was very much taken aback when he arrived at Newport Lo find that Mr. James W ignall, the South Wales agent of the Dockers' Lnion, had h-tfd a telegram from Mr. Ben Tillett saying that the Newport workers must not stop, because he (the speaker) had gone to Newport to advocate the contrary. The BristoL. trouble arose out ot the Newport strike, and a* Bristol men came out in sympathy with Newport men and refused to work the steamship Natal Transport, he thought it was only fair and risat that Newport, men should try to help Bristol men out of their diiiiouiry. .\11'. Graham, aiso rrom Bristol, having &lx>J,e.n, Mr. James Wignall said that some of the labour leaders had been accused of playing golf a,nd cricket and neglecting the interests of the workers. He denied this, and said they were doing all they could in tho inte- rests of the men. He read a telegram from Mr. Tillett in these terms:- Men nuiet,not stop at Newport. Mr. Wignall then asked tho assembly if a stoppage at Newport would help the position at Avonmouth, and was greeted with cries of "We don 1 belong to Tillett's Union." Amid some disorder Mr. Wignall asserted he had the right to give them instructions, whether they liked them or not. His message was that they would not help the Bristol men by stopping the Newport Docks..No practical suggestion had been put before the meeting at Newport by a Bristol delegate. Asserting that their guerilla warfare was playing the game of the Federation, Mr. Wignall concluded by saying that if the strike committee of Avonmouth would call a meeting of all the Unions in the Bristol Channel, and all the men concerned would decide on definite action, he was with them up to the hilt. The way to fight the federa- tion was to stop ali the ports from Sharpness to Burry Port. If a.fter Mr. Tillett's message any Newport mou stopped work in sympathy with Bristol they would be acting on their own responsibility. The Chairman then said he would abide by the advice of Mr. Tillett. He was not going to fight outside his Union, but he would fight inside it. Mr. George Oox followed in the same strain. There was a good deal of cross-shouting. and ultimately the Chairman said he could not put any resolution to the meeting. A Voice: Last night you sympathised with the A yonmouth men. To h- with your sympathy if you don't strike for them. The Chairman: 1 am going to sta,nd by my leafier. There is to be no resolution. 1 ho chairman then left the trolley. Thereupon Mr. 'J. Siattory, one of the dockers, mounted it and called for a show of hands whether the men wished to take immediate action or wait till Messrs. Houlder Bros, and Co.'s steamer Linda Fell arrived and see if free la-bour was introduced. A show of hands was taken on the first of those issuer, and by a Large majority it was carried that immediate action be taken. That was construed by Mr. Slattery in these words: "It means that yon don't go to work this afternoon, whother you like it or not." Majority of Men Resume Work A number of the men did not return to work, but when Mr. John Macaulay inter- vened the great bulk oi the work was resumed ,J.¡ usual. Not only was there no stoppage at the Newport docks on Tuesday, but there is every probability that there will be no cessa- tion of work to-day (Wednesday). It is not now expected that Messrs. Houlder Bros. general cargo steamer Linda Fell will arrive at Newport to-day, so that for the present, at a.11 events, there is no likelihood of imme- diate trouble. I Work as Usual Work is going Oil as usual at New-port Docks to-day, without the semblance of a strike, notwithstanding the vote taken at the meeting yesterday afternoon.

The green, which is the finest in Ireland, was in perfect oonditio-n, and was very fasrt, some good he-ads being seen on both rinks. F. W. Thomas, who skipixvi ag-ainst Lowry, played a splendid game, but eventually lost by four.

STOKER'S LIFE ON BOARD Addressing a gathering of seamen in con- nection with the National Sailors and Fire- men's Uni?n. Mr. George Jackson, of New- port, at Cardiff Docks on Tuesday, said be quoted the medioal <)fflmr of London in saying- tha.t the conditions under whioh a stoker worked would kill a Sando.w in ten years' time. Yet, he declared; there were plenty of good laws on their books which would make their, lives a good deal happier if they but had the strength to force them into operation. He did not pa.int all ship- o? n?rs ?\'ith h) same brush, but there were man ywho had their best to avoid the regulations passed by the Act of Parliament in 1907. The Union, however, was determined by Trades Unionism to put those laws into forcp. The shipowner's tender spot was his jy,rkf--t, and they were resolved to keep on | tapping him there until they got what they i wanted. They aJw intended impressing upon the President, of the Board of Trrde the neoossi ty of a ship's cook. who was forced to work sixteen or so hours a. day having a trained assistant in the galley to provide against the iKwsibility of having him laid up ou a voyage and of having their stomachs ruined. A resolution to continue asking for £ 4 10s. per month and of proceeding with the international movement was carried. Signed on at Advanced Rates j Only a. comparatively small number of crews were signed on at the Cardiff Shipping Offices on Tuesday-some at £ 4 10s.. and others at £ 4. In any case, however, the sailors and firemen succeeded in obtaining an advance on the old rate from 15s. to £1.

-=-=-==-= HAD SAVED TEN LIVES. Mr. Dauncey, deputy-coroner. Deid an inquest Oil Tuei*Li.y on t,he body of David Thomas Stephens (16), OO'l'Qna>tion-st-reéot.

Stephens, who could not swim, immediately sank, a.nd Arthur Jackson, a young collier, jumped in fully dressed, and got the boy out. Artificial respiration wes successfully tried, but on Saturday pneumonia tet in, a.nd death eventually ocouiTed from shock. In the evidence it tri*aspired that Jackson had saved ten lives, but had never been officially recognised. The Oanooierf said he was to be greatly com- mended fo¡ his lendid action.

FACTORY EXPLOSION FR.I BT>RICHKHAFWN, Tuesday. A violent exnlosion, the cause of which is unknown, occurred this morning in the fac- toryw hieh supplies Count Zeppelin's airships with gas. Part of the factory was completely destroyed. No engineers were present, but seven or eight incehank-s were injured, one of whom has since died. The explosion is another serious blow for the Zeppelin Company, to which the wrecked building belongs. The nature of the gae ¡ manufactured there for the balloons is a aec.ret. It is known, however, that it is a combination in which oarburetted hydrogen is an important .-oiittitueni.-Peuter.
