AN ARREST. ——
AN ARREST. —— ;1 On Charge of Murder. I NURSE IN COURT 11 Gowerton Sensation. There was a sensational development of the Gowerton tragedy at Swansea Police Court on Monday, when Mary Lavenia Beynon, married woman, was charged that she of her malice aforethought did kill and murder one Esther Davies, against the peace," etc. The accused woman, whose age was given as 40, was described as a nurse, but she did not appear in uniform. She was fairly composed as she stood in the fi court. )( Mr. Rupert Lewis, who was for the prosecution, asked for a remand, stating i that the arrest was only made on Sun- day night, and the evidence had not yet been prepared. Mr Andrew (Messrs. Andrew and Thompson) who appeared for. the de- fence, agreed to the remand. The Bench remanded the defendant in custody for a fortnight. It will be remembered that the inquest on Mrs. Ef-ther Davics was held a few days ago, when a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown was returned.

I AN EISTEDDFOD. Fifty Guinea Male Voice Prize at Swansea. The Swansea Branch of the United Kingdom Commercial Travellers' Asso- ciation intend holding a big eisteddfod in I the town on November 1st, and the character of the event may be gauged from the fact that the prize in the male voice competition is to be E50.

The committee which has charge of the arrangements lire also decidt4 to offer flve guineas for the open eolo and three i guinea's each for the soprano contralto. r barttone, and tenor solos, and for the t open recitation.

HARBOURTRUST |'
HARBOURTRUST Swansea' s Losses Last Month. GLOOMY REPORT. At a monthly meeting of the Swansea Harbour Trustees on Monday, Mr. Roger Beck presided. Moving the adoption of the Finance Committee's report, Mr. W. T. Farr said he very much regretted that the result of the trading for the month of June was very unsatisfactory, the de- ficiency being JC7,329 12s. 2d., or slightly less by some thousand pounds than that in the month of May, but that was a small consolation. During June, the revenue increased by £3,698 19s. 3d., as compared with the corresponding month of last year, this being due chiefly to the operation of the increase of 50 per cent. in the dues But the expenditure increased by 94,546 18s. Some of this was due to extraordinary expenditure, £ 801 being on the Round Head (expen- diture on which would, sooner or later, be brought to a close), and £1,476 bank interest, all of which was debited to the month of June. In future, any interest payable on overdraft would be charged to each month separately. There were several other items in excess of similar items last year, but as there was gene- rally some extraordinary expenditure it was not worth while referring to these. I DECLINE IN TRADING. Trading also fell off by over 75,000 tons—72,000 in exports and 3,300 ;n imports. The chief decrease in exports was in coal-no less than 61,000 tons- while patent fuel fell off 18,000 tons, and general cargo 7,000. There was an increase in tinplates of 15,000 tons. rf he reduction in exportation of coal 'vas ch.Iy due to the intervention of the Whitsuntide holidays and also to scarcity of tonnage. Tt was rather ominous that the (Ie- crease in June should be 89,000 tons as compared with the previous month of May. notwithstanding an increase of over 7,000 tons in tinplates. I NOT A ROSY PICTURE. The picture was not a rosy one, and one really felt a little b.t hopeless in looking to the future, but 1-3 thought they had reason to think that in some, perhaps distant, future, they would turn the corner. He hoped that with a more plentiful supply of tonnage (which he understood from Mr- Phillips was coming in) and with better work now being doijo at the docks (which, Ire trusted, would continue) the next return I would show an improvement I CHAIRMAN'S HOPES. ? I I I The Chairman shki ttlev naa aaa an iitc-joasiug struggle, uiwi Avqre as if passing through Devonshire lanes that were said to have no ending, and of which the hedges were so high that they could not see far around. However, if they were only assisted or supported to the end they would have solid refresh- ment. There was no question they lad a furnished house ready for them four ur which would make Swansea on,e of the finest trading ports in the country if they only last out. If, unaided, the Trust could not do this they would turn absolutely to the bond- holders and say, We have borne the strain for some time, and now you must take your share." But he thought, witn endurance on all sides, there was a bright future ahed.. The report was adopted. The Executive's report, also adopted, agreed to the granting of facilities (already mentioned) for the loading and discharging of oil fuel bunkers at the King's Dock.
FIRE AT GARAGE.
FIRE AT GARAGE. Two Cars Destroyed at Port i Tennant. A fire broke out in a motor garage belonging to Mr. John Mathias, at the rear of No. 164, Port Tennant-road, Swansea, on Sunday morning. The Swansea Fire Brigade, in charge of Inspector Evans, was promptly on the scene, and instantly set to work to quell the outbreak. After some time they succeeded, but not before two Ford cars in the garage had been completely destroyed. The damage was estimated at about "õOO. The two cars were insured, but the garage was not.
LEONCAVALLO. I
LEONCAVALLO. I Death of Composer of I I Pagliacci Maestro Ruggero Leoncavallo died on I Saturday after a long illness, in lais, yfl-la at the celebrated Tuscan health resort of Montecatini. [ Born in Naples 60 years ago, Leonca- vallo had later to struggle with extreme poverty. He made his boyhood's' musical studies at the local conservatoire, where quickly he won an enviable reputation as a pianist. Before he was out of his teens he had gone on to Bologna to fol- low Carducci's University courses in prose and verse, for he was already busy writing his earliest work, Chatter- ton," adapted from De Vigny's drama Just when Chatterton should havo ben performed, Leoncavallo's Neapolitan impresario gave him the slip. The young maestro in disgust got away as soon as he. could go'to Paris. There he developed Wagnerian tendencies and gained an in- fluential friend through an exquisite poem. The Medici, which lie lied written to serve as a basis for a radical trilogy. II I PAGLIACCI." I Performed at Dal Verme Opera House here 26 years ago, I Pagliacci scov-d a tremendous success, largely due to the fact that the orchestration was the handi- work of that potential prince of con- ductors, Tcscanini. Within a very short time Leoncavallo tound himself famous and wealthy; while this most fortunate of his operas was in demand throughout both hemispheres, taking turn in nightly performances with Maseagni's Cavalleri Rustieana." Nothing of Leoncavallo's later output quite reached the level of "T PaglÜci,"

I EDDIE OWNING, I
I EDDIE OWNING, I Llanelly Forward Dies in Hospital. L The news that Eddie Downing, the ex- Llanelly Rugby forward, died on Monday morning at the Llanelly General Hos- pital has caused a painful sensation amongst the sportsmen. Decoased en- listed at the outbread of war, and pro- ceeded with the 8th Battalion 6f the lloyal Welsh Fusiliers to Gallipoli, where he remained throughout the campaign, and after the evacuation proceeded to Mesopotamia, where he contracted nialaria.

IA MOB, OR TWO MEN? ,I
A MOB, OR TWO MEN? I "I think it oug-ht to be pointed out," said Mr. James Evans, secretary of the Swansea Branch of the Operatives' Union. that Mr. W. H. Palmer is absolutely wrong when he says that he was mobbed by the operative bakers. At no time dur- ing the scene in Argyle-street were there more than two operative bakers present, so it is hardly fair of him to say he was I mobbed by operative bakers. The people who created the scene were the women."

, A SWANSEA SERMON.I
A SWANSEA SERMON. I Speaking at Swansea Wesley Church on I Sunday, evening. the Rev. W. J. Morgan Ritid there were people in this county who were acting on the same rank heresy as was at the back of the German idea of J conquest-the heresy that civilisation had got no further than the struggle for ex- istence, whereas alongside it there had I developed the greater thing-sacrifice. A.nd as we had deposed a military tyranny I so we should depose the tyranny of the profiteer and the tyranny of those who by direct action would subject the whole to the will of a section. For this last- tiarhed would mean first the overthrow ¡ of ordered government, and next a return I to the methods of the jungle. ij

It took a straight line for HendrefoiLan, between Abar Rhiw reser- voir and Gorseinon, over Pontardulais j and Gracg Fawr. over Ammanford, and I then coming close to Carregcennen Castle and over Llangadock and Llandovery, keeping quite close to the Carmarthen- i shire Van, eventually arriving at Lian- wrtyd and descending in a field near the popular Abernant Hobal. The flight took ] fifty minutes. j AIR AND PHONE. I Very strong head winds were eticoun- iered, and the pilot had to ascend to a height of 7,000 feet. The journey was a wonderfully smooth on?, and the experi- I ence was one that will not quickly be for- j gotten. It took the two Swansea press- men fifcy minutes to travel from Swansea to the Wells, but that long journey was J ) due to tbe strength of the wind encoun- s I tered. As illustrative of the present state of the telephone .service it has taken one pressman two hours and a half to get tho above message through.
