Objected to a Home I CANTON'S RESIDENTS DIGNITY Canton {Cardiff) has always had a reputa- tion for dignity, a-nd this was fully main- tained at to-day'e meeting of the Board of Guardians wben the sub-committee of the Children's Homes Visiting Ocwnmittee reported that memibers had been appointed to inspect 140, Id-amdnff-road, Canton, as a possible oot- tage home for children. Residents of LlandafT-road wrote petition- ing the board against the proposal. They protested that a. cottage home was not in keeping with the dignity of the road. While they had every sympathy with the children, they suggested there were plently of streets in the locality where such aihouse oould be established without the risk of ino Uiring the value of the property. Mr. Uelhuish moved that the petition be referred to the sub-committee which had the matter in ha3M. The Rev. J. Williams asked if it was sug- gested that the matter be thus referred to the isiib-oammilttee bmause this petition had been received. The C'håirman (Mr. Oliver H. Jones) said the sab-committee only reooanmemded that the house be inspected. Canon Buckley said lie could not help expressing his surprise at the receipt of this petition, because he did not think it would lessen in any way what the residents of Llamdaff-road ca-Iled "the dignity of the street." (Laughter.) He was not a-wojo that any of their cottage homes had ever proved a nuisance to the street in which they were located, or that adjoining property in any." way depreciated in consequence. Houses did not empty, and he had even found rent going up in the neighbourhood of their homes. (Hear, hear and laughter). Mr. Melfruish contended that homes should be selected purely on their merits, whether petitions were received or not. (Hear, hear.) Alderman F. J Baavan sa-id he was also am-used on hearing this petition. He had known for a long time that Canton as a w'bole was a very dignified locality, but he did not know before that special dignity was concentrated in Llandaff-ro&<l. (Laughter ) The matter was referred to the eub-com- mittee.

OLD AGE PENSIOHS I Universal Application Advocated 1 Resuming the Labour Conference at Hull this morning, Mr. George N. Barnes, M.P., presiding, the old-age pensions Question was discussed. The Chairman referred to the great work already dome by Trades Unions in providing pensions totalling half a million annually, j Before long. that would increase to two mil. lions yearly. It spoke much for the hearts of Trades Unionists, if not for their head, undertaking such huge responsibility. Mr. Arthtur Henderson, M-P, proposed a resolution calling upon the Chancellor of the 'Exchequer to make good the promise to pro- vide old-age pensions, and declaring that the only satisfactory scheme must be a universal application, and derived by direct taxation upon incomes largely social in origin, which ought never to have been appropriated to private use. Friendly Societies now recog- nised that universal pensions would assist their work. Those who suggested that all regard for parents would be destroyed by a State pension of five shillings a week libelled the working classes. Ultimately the resolution was made to read u.t. pensions be extended to infirm persona JAW ot &9% and W" comied in this (oro.

SCOTCH STEAMER MISSING I Practically no hope is held out for the safety of the coasting steamer Neptune, which is now some fourteen days overdue on a voyage from the Mersey to Cornwall. The Neptune, a vessel of 450 tons, belonging to Messrs. D. and J. Nicol, of Dundee, left Gar- ston laden with coal on the evening of the 1st of January for Par, Cornwall, a passage which ordinarily occupies something like 40 hours. Since that time nothing has been heard of her. and it is surmised that she must have been lost the heavy storms that prevailed during the first week of this month. Captain Junor the master, belonged to Oroanarty, and Mr. Pearson, chief engi- neer. to St. Andrews. The crew numbered about ten.

CLAIM TO PLATE I REMARKABLE BRECON CASE In the King's Bench Division this morn- ing, before Mr. Justice Sutton, the case of Williams v. Price came on for hearing. Mr. Theobald Mathew appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Shearman, K.C., for the defendant. This was an action brought by Mrs. Alice Georgina Powell Williams, wife of John Walter Williams, against Mrs. Catherine Powell Price, sole executrnx of the will of William Powell Price, of the Bulwark, Brecon, to recover a quantity of plate or its value, £ 320. The defendant denied liability. The case for the plaintiff as opened by counsell and testified to by her in the wit- ness-box, was that she was married in 1873 to Mr. Powell Williams, and lived at Broadlands, Bridgend. On her marriage, her mother-in-law gave her E320 worth of plate, which at her death was to go to her eldest child, whether a boy or girl. In 1879 plaintiff's husband got into financial difficulties, and she ramoved her plate to her mother-in-law's house. Subsequently A Bill of Sale was Given by her husband to a moneylender, nomed Usiher, of Swansea. This bill of sale was enforced as against the property, and then Mr. Powell Price, a solicitor, of Brecon, who was one of the trustees of her marriage settlement, went to Broadlands and settled with the creditors. Mr. Price brought back from Broadlands what silver there was on the sideboard, but the silver given to her by her mother-in-law, which was real silver, she had previously removed to her mother-in- law's. Subsequently, at the suggestion of Mr. Powell Price, whom sh-e met at lun- cheon at his house, and who reminded her that he was her trustee, she took the silver to his house to keep it. safe in case as, he said, her husband might Put it "up the spout." When she asked for the return of the plate she was told that it was included in the bill of sale given to Mr. Usher. Cross-examined by Mr. Shearman, the plaintiff said when Mrs. Powell Price heard that the silver was to come to her house she said she did not care to have other people's silver in the place, as the responsibility was so great. A few days after the conversation she took the plate to Mr. Powell Price's, and handed it over to the lady. She did not then see Mr. Powell Price. She was married about five years when her husband got into diffi- culties. Mr. Powell Price was a Solicitor to Her Mother-in-law an old friend, and on great terms of inti- macy with plaintiff's husband and his mother. She knew her husband had given a bill of sale over certain things in the house to Mr. Usher. That was all she knew about it. That time your husband was very badly in debt?—I didn't know the amount. Your suggestion is that as far as you know this old family plate was not included in the hill of sale?—I had it locked up and I had the keys. I never saw the bill of sale or the list of things in it. Was not this action brought very shortly after Mr. Powell Price died, and, therefore, could not contradict your s ry?-No; he did not answer the letters SJeTht m Was he not very ill aind unable to attend to his business?—I saw in the papers that he was ill. Did you as recently as February, 1899, ■appear in th-3 Brecon County-court before Judge Williams as a claimant?—Yes. Did the judge disbelieve your evidence?— I do not think so. Was your husband again involved in debt? -He was badly off. Did you appear to claim some property against his ore&tors?-I claimed property I had paid for myself out of my income. Eventually you lost your oaee-Yes. Did the indsre sav it Was a Fraud P 7, No, he did not. Did the judge disbelieve your evidence?—No. Your evidence was that you bought it with your own money?—I bought it out of my income. Did the judge say that your husband was living on nothing a year?—I was not in court and did not hear him say eo. Was not judgment given for the execution creditor with costs?—I know it went against me with, costs. Have you paid the costs?—That is a ques- tion I do not know any thing about. I have never been aIppealed to for the costs. Answering further questions plaintiff eaid Mrs. Powell Price was in the room at the lunchepn time, but she believed Mr. Powell Price 6poli-e to her aboutbrirngin.g the plate after his wife left the room- When was it that Mr. Powell Price said, I.

The Judge ultimately, upon a technical. point, held that -no trust had been created, therefore, the Statute of Limitations applied a-nd the plaintiff failed. Mr. Matthews said it vw unnecessary to proceed with tht other parts of the case.

Accident and Suicide COMPENSATION AWARDED TO BRIDGEND WIDOW An unusual compensation case was heard (before Judge Bryn Roberts) at Bridgend cm Friday. the plaintiff being Mrs. Mary Williams, 70, Bethania-street, Maesteg, and the respondents Elders' Navigation Company. Mr. Meager (instructed by Mr. Evan E. Diavies, Maesteg) was for the plaintiff, and Mr. A. Parsons (instructed by Mr. Evan Da/vies, Cairdiff) for the company. The plaintiff claimed compensation for the death of her husband, whose body was found on the Great Western Railway at Aberavon in September last. Evidence was given for the plaintiff show- ing that the deceased met with an accident at the respondents' colliery in December, 1906, and on account of his slow recovery he boca-me morose and low-spirited, and that some time before his death he had attempted to commit suicide. Dr. Morley Thomas (Maesteg) gave it as his opinioTi that to receive the injuries which caused his death Williams must have placed himself across the rails. After hearing considerable medical evidence his Honour gave judgment for the applicant for L300-liciss deductions of previous compen- sation payments. He found that the man committed suicide, and he had no doubt that his mind became unhinged owing to the aecident. Ogmore Collier's Claim Fails peroy Osborne, an Ogmore Vale collier, sued Messrs. Cory Brothers, the owners of the Aber Colliery, under the CompeTisa-tion Act, claiming weekly compensation. Mr. Meager (instructed by Messrs. Walter Morgan, Brtice, and Nicholas) was for the applicant, and Mr. Ivor Bowen for the respondents. Applicant stated that while endeavouring to lift a loaded tram on to the rails he felt a strain, and he subsequently became so ill that he could not continue his work. There was a divergence of medical testi- mony, and his Honour accepted the view of the defence that the incapacity was due to a disease and not to the accident. Judgment was entered for the respondents with costs.

CHAPEL" TO "CHURCH" I The religion of the four-year-old girl ready for adoption was again before the Cardiff Guardians to-day. It win be remembered that the request of an Aberavon Cbngre- gationalist lady for the child could not be granted because the latter had been? brought up in the Church of England at P«mfcTch. The lady now wrote that it was never her intention to rear the child as anything but a member of the Church of Enngland. In fact, she herself was prepared to give up chapel for Church for the sake of the child. She anticipated there would be no difficulty in making the desired change. If she could not have the child in question she was prepared to adopt another. It was resolved to offer the lady a boy. despite the sentiments referred to in her letter.

Cardiff Rugby Schools I y Scn' -ools ST. DAVID'S V. TT. PETERS. Great interest was taken in the first meet- ing of these old rivals at the Sophia Gardens. Play, however, was poor, being mainly of the kick a.nd rash order. In the first talf "Boyo" Driscoll dribbled the ienigth^cf the field, but the ball unlucliiy turned in touoh-in-goal. The second half, hke the first, was pointless. St. Peter's, who held a big adva-itage in size farword, failed to heel the ball on a. solitary occasion. Oallas, their crack, did not shine, he has size and weight, but is an indifferent suc- cessor to Corad or CornAsh. Sullivan was in good fonm. The result is a fair indication of the run of the same.

Trouble for Swansea I LABOURER'S SECRETARY UTTERS THREATS • The offer of arbitration made by the masters in the Swansea flour trade to the men on Thursday night war, speedily dis- posed of at the mem's meeting on Friday, ae was, indeed, a foregone conclusion after the emphatic declaration against it to the preee by their secretary (Mr. H. Williams). Work waas, of course, still on stop at Wea-vers' Mills during Friday, and the strike extended in other ways. The ship Warrenpoint, which has been consigned to Messrs. Weaver, was stop-ped from bunkering, and on Friday was lying idle in dook. At the meeting of the men at the Bird-in- Hand on Friday Mr. Williaone, referring to the ship Warrenpoint, said the men on top da,red not put a chute down to bunker her. An arrangement was made some time ago with the Great Western Railway Company that no chu-t-e should be put down unless reoogTiised trimmers were on board." Refer- ring to the struggle, Mr. Williams said it concerned his Union, and he wanted other Unions to let him alone to fight it out, and if he could not do it he would smash the Union up- The total membership in Swansea was 3.048, a.nd that was enough to cripple Swansea docks, and if driven to it be would cripple them. Dealing with the employers contention that they could not compete if they gave higher wages tLa-n others, he &aid there was one reason why they should pay better, and that was that the men at Swan- sea were in the Union, and if the men at Cardiff, Newport, Bristol, and Gloucester were prepared to remain outside and taike non-Union men's wages, that was no reason why Swoaisca men should not try and improve their condition. In some ways Spillers paid better than Weavers; they gave better bon, a.nd they gave pensions, some of the men getting 18s. a week for life. The meeting decided against arbitration without any dissentients. Heavy Loss to Employers 1 In the oourse of a letter of reply to the masters' offer of arbitration, Mr. H. Wil- liams says:—"The men are unanimously agreed that they will accept no such term. The time has gone by for conciliation or arbitration, and the men now decide that the instructions issued to members will be strictly adhered to. Having been driven into a strike, whioh ought never to have taker, ¡. place. they will not return to work till this matter has been finally settled. I have remarked in my letters to you that the men were very determined, and I can assure you that your action in driving them to strike has made them still more determined." Messrs. Weaver and Co., in paying the employes on Friday evening, gave notice to each that their action in leaving work with- out notice would involve a lose to the com- pany of £ 500 t.his and JEMO next week, and, as they are advised that this will be recover- able at law, they give notice that unleee the men return and work out a week's notice they will proceed against the defaulters to make good the losses.

She was ooaled, therefore, in the ordinary way.
