MASTLY ESCORTED TOWELLINGTON.

m MOUNT CRAWFORD. PRISON.

(.By Telegraph.—Press Association.)WELLINGTON, Thursday.

Herbert Frederick Manly, who wasfound guilty of the murder of GladysBarrington Cromarty at Wanganui onMay 9 last, and sentenced to death, wasbrought to Wellington under escortto-day and placed in Mount Crawfordprison, where, if the Executive Councilupholds the sentence of the SupremeCourt, he will remain until his execution.

HARD WEEK AHEAD.

PARLIAMENT'S BUSINESS.

DEFENCE LEGISLATIONTO-BAY.

FINANCE BELL ON MONDAY.

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary' Reporter.)

WELLINGTON -, Thursday.The House of Representatives made

up for its slowness on the Customs Billlate this afternoon by rapidly clearingoff the schedules, once the petrol taxcontroversy had been adjusted. Therewere some third reading speeches, andthe understanding was that sittingwould, not end till the bill had. passed.This stage was reached at six o'clock,when the Prime Minister, the Hon. G.W. Forbes, moved the adjournment tillFriday afternoon. This was greetedwith a .fairly general demand for anearlier sitting, but some committee,chairmen mentioned that notices werecut

. for select committee meetings,including that of the UnemploymentCommittee, consequently Mr. Forbesadhered to his decision to meet at 2.30.

Answering questions asked by theOpposition Leader, Mr. Forbes said hewould endeavour to introduce the Fin-ance Bill on Friday, as a preliminary toits complete consideration on Monday.The House would be aeked to take theDefence Bill on Friday.

Mr. Coates: That will leave Mondaytill Saturday to cleaiKup the bills. TheEstimates do not matter.

Mr. EL E. Holland, leader of theLabour party, suggested that in orderthat the Prime Minister could get awaysome effort should be made to systema-tise the work. He assumed that Mr.Forbes must leave on Saturday.

The Prime Minister: lam supposed toleave on Monday.

Mr. Holland added that If a list of themeasures that must go 'through, wasgiven by the Government, and definitedays were allocated to them, with acommon agreement they could be dis-posed of on those days. That would notmean the surrender of the right to moveadversely on them. He felt sure therewas a general desire to honour the pro-mise to the Prime Minister/buthe mustsee that the only way to get throughthe work was to adopt a method.

Mr. Coates: Rationalisation?Mr. Holland: Yes—of the Reformparty.The Prime Minister said he would be

pleased to bring- the bills forward sothat they might be dealt with assuggested.

LICENSEE WARNEDA StTHTDAY MORNING DRINK.

MAGISTRATE'S RULING.

"I don't see my way clear to convicj;you, but I warn you to take precautionsin the future," said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.,at the Police Court to-day, in dismissinga charge against James Norwood Lane,of the Carpenters' Arms Hotel, of expos-ing liquor for sale and also keeping pre-mises open for sale of liquor during"closed" hours.

Sergeant Clark who said that on themorning of Sunday, June 15, he foundtwo men, William Henry Biggs andGeorge Luca3, drinking in the bar. Biggssaid he had stayed the night at thehotel and that morning had gone/for awalk. He had met Lucas and invitedhim to the hotel for a drink.

Counsel submitted that the licenseehad acted in a bona-fide manner. Hemade no attempt to conceal anythingfrom the police.

There was some argument between themagistrate and Sub-Inspector Shanahan.who prosecuted, regarding the law onthe matter, but Mr. Hunt ruled thata; boarder - could invite a friend to thehotel for legitimate purposes. "Whenthey have finished their business, thenthe boarder is entitled to ask his friendto have a glass of beer," said Mr. Hunt."But that is different from taking aman in solely for the drinkring, as in this case."

Biggs wa,s fined £2 and costs on acharge of aiding and assisting in thecommission of an offence by Lucas.

PETROL PROFITS.

GOVERNMENT INQUIRY.*

MR. FORBES' ANNOUNCEMENT.

"SETTLE A VEXED QUESTION."

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)WELLINGTON, Thursday.

One of the most interesting side-issues of the. discussion in committee ofthe House on the Customs tariff wasthat of the allegedly excessive profitsmade by petrol importing companies andan announcement by the Prime Min-ister, the Hon. G. W. Forbes, that thiswill be the subject of official investiga-tion.

The petrol importing companies, saidthe Prime Minister, were carrying apenny of the increased, duty. The ques-tion had been asked whether they would■carry aViy more. "That question-/, hecontinued, "has been put to the com-panies, who said that it is not theirintention to carry more than the penny."A good many representations had beenmade about the price of petrol and com-parisons made with, prices in. othercountries ."

Mr. W. J. Jordan (Manukau): Willthey still continue to cany the penny ifwe reduce the tax by twopence?

The Prime Minister: There is no guar-antee whatever in. regard to what theywill do.. They did net see their way tocarry any more, but I think it wouldbe wise for them to continue to carrythe penny.

Ml-. I'orbes -went on to eay that therehad been a good deal of complaintabout the abnormal profits made frompetrol. Personally he could not sayvery much, on the subject; because hewas not in possession of the documents,but attention had been called to thedifference between the prices in NewZealand and those charged in Americaand other countries where it was pro-duced.

"I think," he aaid, "that we shouldhave fuller information than, we haveat presentj and I intend to have aninvestigation made in regard to - thoseprices, during the recess, to see whetherthe charge made that the companies aremaking undue profits can be borne outby the facts. Only by thorough investi-gation into costs in America and otherproduction points can this be done. Thecountry will be very interested to know,and it will settle a very vexed question."

Mr. McKeen (Wellington South):Two pence will give you £300,000 andwill leave you short of £16,000.

The Prime Minister: So far as the£16,000 is concerned we might have tomake some adjustment in regard toother measures of taxation. Our budget-ing has been very close, but we mightbe able to make some additional taxa-tion in thoee proposals yet to be sub-mitted to the House; by which we canmake up the £16,000.

DOOR OF HOPE ASSOCIATION.

GOOD WOBK AMONG GIRI^LARGER REVENUE REQUIRED

There was a large attendance at the i34th annual meeting of the Door of HopeAssociation last night, over which Mr.Grey Campbell presided.

The committee expressed pleasure atthe continued effective work being doneby the matron, Sirs. J. Graham, and herco-workers, with the girls under theircare at Salem House. The quiet natureof the service that was being accomplished,by the association, however,, had its dis-advantage from the financial point ofview, aa spectacular work usually madea stronger appeal to iihe public. Littlerevenue was derived from donations, andit was hoped that "some definite actionwould be taken to widen the circle ofdonors. The removal of the; old factoryat the back and the- erection of fenceshad improved, the grounds at the home.

A debit- balance of £298 was shownin the statement of income and expendi-ture. The deficit had been covered bya legacy, but a., larger revenue wasrequired, as renovations would have tobe made to the association's homes.

The'two membere of tie committee whoretired in rotation, Messrs. H. D.Gtothrie. and H. Ennorf were re-elected.

During the evening an address vwgiven by the Rev. J. ■of items were given,iw *ae-_gms <*■ jhome. ■ —

PASSING IT ON.AUSTRALIAN SALES TAX,

•At a meeting of 'the soft goocls sectioilof the Melbourne Chamber of Commerceit was unanimously resolved, "That asthe sales tax is to 'be computed ■ on thegross turnover, and means, for example,in the easa of a-firm turning its eapitalover six times a year, 15 per cent oncapital, and probably represents, in themajority of cases as much percentage ofprofit as the '■' general manufacturer * orwholesaler makes, it" is obviously impos-sible for the manufacturer or wholesalerto pay this- tax without specially provid-ing for it, in fact, were such attempted,many firms, especially the smaller firms,would- undoubtedly be forced- out ofbusiness. .' '

"It is the desire of wholesalers' andmanufacturers not to increase their pricein any degree at the present juncture, and?they have therefore decided to allow forthis tax by adopting the principle ofadding a net 2% per cent to the foot ofall ealea invoices to retailers.'- This '2Vsper cent will be-added to all invoices, onand after August 1, any necessary creditsin respect of invoices not affected by thetax being adjusted on monthly state-ments. The position will be - reviewedagain in October." - ;•

A remarkable story of a masterI Eaariner trlti. an . estate rained at

I ehildreiij is "unfolded in a judgmentdeliTered in the Supreme Court to-day inthe case in wMch Bessie Maud Gillbro-ngiit an originating Emmnons againsttie Gnardian Trust and xecators Com-pany of New Zealand, Ltd., for furtherproviclcn out of the esxate of the late

] Frederick Joseph GiL.The deceased made Ms will on Sept-em-

ber 26_. IQ2.S. and a year later to the daycommiited suicide, states the judgment.Tie value of Ms €=tate was sworn a>;£14,000, and its net value ax .June 30

last was shown as £14.055. The totalnet .annual income at that date was£703. Gili" left a widow and fourchildren, but left nothing to them,although, he lived Trith them until hisdeath. He left Ms esxate to a brother,Thomac GHH, and his sister, Minnie. X'>executor was appointed, and the lettersof administration of the will were left jto the defendant company. The sister

' ilincle predeceased the testator, andaccordingly one-half of the estate was 1available upon an Int-estacy. The eapital:sum which the widow took in: this waywas £2342. producimr an income . 01£117, while that available for "thechildren was £4655. producing an incomeof £234.. or £oS each.

Plaintiff and her husband were marriedin Hongkong in 1911, and the pairresided "there until 1924. They appearto have lived in very comfortable cir-cumstances, occupying a large house andemployingsis servants. The family tookfrequent holidays aoroad, taking a nurseto look after ib& ehfldren and staying atgood hotels. The husband was a mastermariner, and it may be that these tripswere taken is sMps which he commanded,hni ihs facts on these points were notdisclosed."- In 1926 the husband lost Msposixioß, and to compensate for the lossof income the wife purchased a half-share in a boardinghoase, which shemanaged for about three years- Shemade money in tMs way asd by exchangetransactions, accumulating £5000 in 33Tears. This enabled the family to main-tain their standard of living.

Treatment of Wife.The wife came to 2vew Zealand in 1924

with upwards of £9000, and at her hus-band's request she invested it in his

I name. She was joined by her lnsband inDecemTber, 1925, and was allowed £10a week for domestic expenses, exclusiveof insurance, the upkeep of a motor earand large medical accounts. The childrenwere taught music, and a servant wasempioyedT As time went on, the judg-ment "continues, the appearedto become very depressed owing to Msprofessional misfortune in 1926, and fromMarch, 1925, he became consistently craelto Ms wife. On one occasion he endea-voured to stransle her. and on more thanone occasion she was forced to takerefuge with a neighbour.

During 1929 Gill took away his wife'sbest jewellery, and she had not seen itsince. He was crael also to the child-'ren, and threatened to lea-re "both them:and Ms wife destitute. in September,!1925. lie reduced Ms wife's allowance to j£5 a week. At the present time, apart |from half the estate. wMeh the widow jami children took by reason *of theintestacy, the oiilt assets of the widowconsist of £5 in cash, personal jewelleryworth not more than £25. and ierclothimr. The children had not amongthem more tkm £19.

Tie widow stated that she was inpoor health, as she suffered frommalaria contracted, m. 1323, and she was

unable to earn. The eldest girl wasearning £1 15/, a boy was attending

I secondary school and required farthertuition, and the two youngest cMHtctwere frail. The total annual incomeof the famllv at present was £442, anditwas estimated that £600 was requiredto keep them in reasonable comfort.

Contradictory Evidence.There was evidence, added the judge,

id contradict that in support of JheThe legatee of tie otaer half

of ihe estate was the testators brother,Thomas Gill, who resided in England,and aeeordins to Ms counsel was pre-pared to 10, e the matter to tlie Conrt.He was &e captain of a small coastingvessel, Ms hsaltk was poor and Ms wifewas very delicate. He lad no otherassets apart from Ms earnings of £350and he had two children.

Altlongh Captain Gill left the matterto the Conrt, said Ife." Justice Smith,it was dear that any allowance madeto the widow and eMMren must be suchas to provide adequate maintenance, bntno mor-s than thai It was also dearthat the Court had no jurisdiction overthe estate wMii -passed on the intes-tacy. It was entitled, tooT to look ataßtne rirranistahees and lave regardto the means xeqnired by tie widowand cMldren.

Coarfs Allowance.His Honor made separate orders in

respect of -tie wife and children, andstated that the resnlt of the order wooidbe that wMe tie family was living to-gether the total net income from thefat&ers estate should slightly exceed£600" a veax. In addition, the familywooH have the benefit of the wagesearned by the cMldren before 21.far as I am able $0 judge fie provisionio made wiS represent adeqnate main-tenance for the wife and children,althonoh it will not 'place them in tiesame position as that which, they en-ioved 'before the testator reduced Mswife's allowance," he added, "if andwhen tie family separates Mrs. Gin will,I tMnk, have adequate maintenancexmta her death or remarriage. EachcMH. too, will be sufficiently protectedaasriJJst the consequences of ffl-nealth."

WELLINGTON, this day.

During the passage of the CustomsBill ihronsh the House on "Wednesdaynight ihe Minister of Health, the Hon.

A. •!. SiaHworthy, caustically criticisedthe EL Hon. J. G. Costes, Leader of theOpposition, and the member for Mid-Canterbury, Mr. David Jones, for whathe described as their flippant and reek-less attacks upon economic industriesof the Domini on.

Tie ilmister said Mr. Coaxes Ladrecklessly attacked sot only the second-ary industries affected by Ms amend-ment ' to abolish the protective "duties,bat also ecnnd business principles in tieadministration of the country. Mr.Stallworthy said ie was not. only sur-prised hat he was really alarmed flsait-he Leader of the Re-form Oppositioncould seriously more to destroy in anight, without any notice to the affectedparties, all the protection given t<3 NewZealand oil and cattle cake and freez-ing companies, who had put in expensiveplants to produce meatmeal products.Tile strongly condemned -thisaction, which, he said, would result Inputting further men out of work at atime of uneraTtlovment difficulty.

• Mr. Jones drew the 3linister"s fire■when he moved, without any notice tothe companies involved and without sub-mitting any facts to the House, to reduceor remove the duty on imported cement.To thus summarily threat-en the com-panies, some 1300 men directly employedby them, and hundreds indirectly em-ployed, was an action hj the P.eforrapartv that provoked the sharp reproofof the Minister as being no* way toencourage local indnctries at a time whenthe development of local industries torelieve unemployment was one of ihegreatest needs of the day.

"BAD AND WJCKED.".

SUPPLYING PROHIBITED MAN.

TAXI-DRxV t.ti, FUTED £5.

WHAT A COXSTABIiE SAW.

Tie practice of supplying prohibitedpersons witi liquor was strongly de-nounced by Mr. F. EL Hunt, S JtL, at tiePolice Court tils morning, when a Devon-port taxi-driver, Donald Alexander Mc-Lean, was charged with, procuring, liquor,and William Henry Carnaian witi pro-curing liquor while he was the subject ofa prohibition order issued on August 31.1929.

Mr. J. J. Sullivan appeared for Me--Lean and 3lr. Bryce Hart for Cajnaian,who formally pleaded not guilty.

ilr. Sullivan said McLean admitted |purchasing liquor for Canxahan, hut at jthe time he did"not know ie wae pro-hibited.

Oonstable*jßradford said ie wa,s stand-ing at the end of the Victoria wharf, atDevonnort, at 3.30 p.m. on July 17, whenhe saw Camaian walk along tie wharfand go across to McLean, who was atthe taxi etand. Tie two men talked for jabout 10 minutes " and then witness

I noticed Carnaian take something oat ofMs pocket and hand it to McLean. Mc-Lean afterwards entered tie EsplanadeHotel by the front door. He emergedfrom the- rear entrance and walked backto the taxi stand via a side street. Dur-ing McLean's absence, Carnaian waseittinjr in McLean's taxi cab. As soon jas McLean got to his car he handed asmall brown paper parcel to Carnahan.Witness went over to the car and askedCarxsaian if McLean had given him anyliquor. Camaian said, '■'Xo:',"I then asked McLean/' eaid tie con-

etable. 'TilcLean replied, 1 give you mjword, I did not give Mm any liquor. Iwent into tie iiotel to tie lavaiorv.5 =

■"To be Candid, Constable."

Constable Bradford added that ie eawa parcel on tie fioor of the taxi near

1 Carnahaxrs feet. It was a half-bottleof whisky. ''What do you know aboutthisV he •a«ked Carnahan. Carnaianreplied, *T did not know it was there,"McLean made a similar reply, but whentold by the eonstable t&at lie intendedgoing to tie hotel to inquire if McLeanhad purchased a bottle of whisky, Mc-Lean eaid, "To be candid, constable, I.admit buying the whisky for him. Hegave me the money to pay for it."Carnaian then eaid, Tor God's sake,don"t be too hard on a man. 35

McLean added that ie knew Carnaianwas , a prohibited person, but that wastie first time he had bought liquor forMm. He also said it would be the last.. Constable Bradford added that eom-

" plaints had been received about taxi-drivers at Devonport supplying liquorto Carnahan. Half an hour after witnesshad approached both defendants in tietaxi, McLean told Mm that ie did notknow that Carnaian was prohibiteduntil he saw tie constable coming to-wards them. ' -

McLean gave evidence and said thatCarnahan was an old friend of his andthat he had not eeen him for somemo-nihfi. He did not know Carnaian waethe subject of a prohibition order untilCarnaian told lijm as tie constableapproached. t

A Bit Flustered..Mr. Hunt: Why did yua not tell tie

constable that in the first place? —Be-cause I got a bit flustered. I shouldhave done so3 and Fm sorry because Idid not.

Mr. Hunt: I know, you got the wikkyfor your old friend, but it is a bad anda wicked thing to do wien hie friendsare doing their best to keep Mm awayfrom liquor. Here's a poor creature "whoeant leave drink alone. The whole dis-trict-knows Ms failing, and you go andget liquor for* him.

Mr. Bryce Hart said that Carnaianhad not touched liquor for many weeksand was doing quite well now.

"McLean is fined £3 and costs. Tiat'ewhat I think of it," eaid the magistrate."Camaian will aleo be fined £5. I willallow McLean fourteen days to pay, butno time for Camaian.51

(St Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, Thursday.Galvanised into action by the Prime j

Minister's announcement tiat he would |not leave for the Imperial Conference ;unless ie secured the passage of his jfinancial bills, the House this afternooncleared t£e legislative decks of tie j

■Customs Amendment Bill and adjourneduntil Friday afternoon.

There had ieen hour after, hoar ofdebate, and even in the jaded conditionin which members found themselvesafter two successive all-night sittings.tie desire to speak and repeat formerspeeches still remained. 2s"o progress hadbeen made with tie bill up to the tjnie

the House resumed at 2.30 pjn. to-day,and then it was that the Prime Ministerthrew down the gauntlet. The outcomewas Mghly satisfactory from Mr.Forbes' point of view, and tie ensuingthree iours saw finality readied, anoVtie bill passed.

What Seduction Means.Tie petrol tax proposal remained the

main bone of contention, and althoughthe Prime Minister announced that ithad been decided, with a view to meet-ing members, to reduce the tax to &&,

j25 members were not satisfied anddivided tie House.It was explained by 3lr. Forbes that I

the reduction of Id would mean that !the revenue for tie eijrhi months would jbe reduced from £430,000 to 1300,000, jand for twelve months from £650,000 to i£450,000. It was obvious tiat they Icould not do as mncii on a reduced in- ]come, and the only alternative he could 'see was to get the money from other jsources of taxation. Already tie ordi- jnary taxpayer was paying something jlike £800.000 towards the cost of road jupSeep. and ie was not inclined to ask jthem to increase the burden. i

At the time of tie Prime Ministers jstatement, the House had before it an jamendment moved by Mr. IL A. Wright j{Wellington Suburbs) to reduce the taxto firepence. and at 4.10 pjn. a divisionwas taken on. it. The result was a jtriumph for the Prime Minister, theproposal beisg rejected by 53 votes to 17.

the petrol tax had cut across the tra-eksof the parties in the House was thevoting on tie division, wMch was asfollows:— >j

1possible.Retaining Self-respect.

"The challenge was- made this morningj that the Government was running awayI from its responsibilities and "was not pre- :I pared to stand behind its legislation. Icould not leave this country with a feel-ins that I eonldnot take my self-respect :with. me. (Hear, hear.) If I cannot goi a* Prime 3linister mtS that self-respect,then I don't wish to go at all Aeeord-

! ingly I have given instructions for thejsuspension of all the arrangements forSmy departure until guch time as xhßj financial measures I am responsible for,

i and which are designed' to place thefinances of the country in order, have

[ been passed. I am very much dis-] appointed with the treatment I hauereceived from one party in ike House.3

There was an outburst of applause .I from the Government benches as the ■Prime" Minister resumed Ms seat.

Mr. Coates Surprised.Surprise at the remarks of ihe Prime

MSoisier was expressed by the Et. Hon. j ,] J. G. Ccates. Leader "of the Opposition, j,

] who defied Mr. Forbes to say that any-' thin? had been done by the Oppositionto prevent his leaving for the Imperial :Conference. The records would show ion perusal that there had been more ]Labour than Reform speakers. The ];Prime Minister had not given carefulthought to his words.

"I ■know what has been going on/, j.retorted the Prime Minister. _.

Mr. Coates inquired whether thePrime 3lmister intended that his pro- j [posals should be accepted a.5 tlie final :word as to how the people should be •■I taxed, and was he prepared to allowexpressions of opinion. ■ .

'""We have beeD Bine hours en the short |'

title of the bill," Mr. Forbes pointed j ■out.

Mr. Coates asserted-that every amend.- j,ment moved had been the result of defi- j *cite opinions of members of the House. •and every member had the right to .speak on sxich an important measure. 'He had asked his colleagues not to con- Itinue longer and some of them had said ."Xo." The attitude of the- Opposition •had been misunderstood; there had been ■

! neither obstruction nor repetition. The ■Opposition was just as anxious as any- )body else that the Prime Minister should •attend the conference. He' eonld not ;understand the speech of Mr. Forbes.

Mr. E. Waite (Cluiha): It may betactics. .

"Or lack of sleep," suggested Mr. H.G. E. Mason (Auckland Suburbs).

TE think the Prime 3Euister has goodj reason, to complain,53 said Mr. H. E. Hol-land, Leader of the Labour party, whosaid that both he and 3lr. Coates hadgiven their word of honour that thebusiness of the House would be _£aepl-

i tated in order to enable Mr. Forbes to .! leave for London. As far a≤ the Labour ■1 party was concerned that promise wouldIbe honoured. Already four days of the ij fortnight had gone, and only one item :'■of the legislative programme outlined ;by Mr. Forbes had been considered. The 'three parties should get together at ]once in an endeavour to arrive at abusinesslike arrangement to make cer-tain that the taxation legislation was 3dealt with and that the Prime Minister -did leave for London. :

COAL FOR POWER.

THE GLEN AFTON CONTRACT.

SUPPLIES FOR DAIRYFACTORIES.

!j . ..i ii

THE PSICE OP SLACK GOAL.

Mr. George Pollock, secretary ofPukemiro Collieries, Ltd., writes:—

Dear Sir,—la Mr. Goodfelkrars state-ment to the "Auckland Star" regardingthe leasing of the MacDonald mine- toGlen Afton Collieries, Ltd- there areone or two points which are misleading.

Mr. Goodfellow states that- the GlenAlton Colliery waa developed for theexpress purpose of providing cheap andadequate supplies of coal for the com-pany's dairy factories at a period whenadequate coal for its requirements weredifSclut to obtain, and that the exten-sive leasehold and freehold areas were

i originally estimated to provide coal forj the dairy industry of the South Auck-land Province for a period of from 70to SO years.

Had the Glen Afton Collieries confinedits operations to- the express purposefor which it was developed. Mr. Good-fellow would have been relieved of hisanxiety regarding adequate supplies' forthe dairy factories.

It i≤ only a few months ago that Mr.PJehwhite, a director of Glen AftonCollieries, when delivering an addressto the Botary Club on the coal miningindustry, stated that at present therewere too many coal mines operating in

[the Waikato, resulting in an over-production, and in consequence theainers at some of the collieries wereaveraging two aisd a half days' workper week, yet on the face of this state-ment Mr. Goodfellow leases" another coal-field for 40 years, which, .will tend tomake tie position more acute.

It is stated that negotiations for thepurchase or lease of tq£ MaeDonald

I pi-operty weTe commenced with theReform Government. That being thecase, why t'ae secrecy observed in con-neciion with the finality of negotiations ?

Mr. Goodfellow .stresses the point thatGlen Afton Collieries qnoted the PowerBoard_ a low price for crushed coal andslack, yet on previous occasions whenany suggestion was made with regard'jto the reduction in the price of slack

I coal to freezing works and other indus-j trial concerns, Glen Afton Collieriesstrenuously opposed it.

Their objection to a reduction in pricewas not only confined to slack coal,which is borne out by the fact thatwhen my company notified a reductionin the price of kitchen coal and throu°-hcoal a≤ from July 1, 1930. Mr. Good-fellow was one of a partv who, onJuly 1. 1330, issued a threat to com-bine against us in order to combat -whatthey termed a. cut in prices. As statedby me in a previous letter, the reduc-tion made by us brought the price ofthrough coal much below the Glen Aftoaquote to the Power Board, and was inoperation some two or three weeks priorto the contract -with the Power Boardbeing signed.

In Mr. Goodfellow-'s reference- toroyalty, he states that the amount pay-able by Glen Afton Collieries to theGovernment, viz., Sd per ton, was 2dper ton more than the average prieepaid by any other Waikato collierv{other than Eenown).This statement is incorrect, as mycompany pays from 7£d to Sid per tonroyalty. Mr. Goodiejlow also maintainsthat Glen Afton Collieries pay incometax. However, there are no disclosuresin their balance-sheet showing whereincome- tax has been paid, or even pro-vision made for income fax.Can Mr. Goodfellow explain -wi-%nres are 'aot made available?

Yours faithfully,G. POLLOCK,

Secretary.

THE,BUDGET DEBATE.

For the cause that lacks assistant*,For the wrong that need* reaistana*,For the future in the distance,And the good that tee can do.

• ...•■■.- ■ . :'■■:■

The,debate on the proposed increase inthe petrol tax was prolonged to a mostunnecessary length,, involving grievous wasteof valuable t;me and consequent dislocation ofthe business which., the Government must putthrough within the next few days. As Mr.Forbes eventually made an important con-cession to his opponents, they probably feelthat their policy .was justified. But the factremains that,, whatever the Leader of theOpposition intended,: there were too manyReform speakers, and they did so milch ciuitesuperfluous talking that if they were suspectedof. deliberately- obstructing progress they hadonly .themselves to blame.. . As regards the practical effect of the PrimeMinister's.decision to fix the'tax at 6d insteadof 7d,the loss of revenue will be approximately£150,000, with a,further,loss of over £7000on'the supertax. After, the statutory paymentshave been made ;to the Highways Board, it wasexpected that there would be—on the basis ofa 7d duty—a considerable balance availablefor "subsidiary highways through outlyingdistricts." But as the Prime said lastnight,,owing to the reduction of the returnsfrom the petrol tax, provision for backblockroads'will now'need to be made under thePublic'Works yote,\ which" means that anadditional .strain- must now be thrownindirectly '■ upon the;- general revenue. Thuseven-if the; effect bf the reduction of the taxfrom 7d to |6d may give some relief to theusers of petrol and the travelling public, theadvantage to the average taxpayer of a changewhich will substantially reduce the estimatedrevenue" for the.year is rather problematical.

This consideration brings" us back to ourstarting-point—the waste of time and the delayof public business occasioned by this prolongeddebate. From, the public point of view theactual benefit secured was in any case small,and "thel" question still stands whether it Avas

desirable in vthe public interest to hold up thework of the session in this way, when so muchimportant business remains to be transactedbefore Mr. Forbes can leave, for the ImperialConference. As to the importance of the.occasion and the necessity for our representa-tion in London by the Prime Minister therecan be but one opinion; and it is now certainthat he cannot get away unless every possibleeffort is made to expedite public businesswithin,the next week. Even as it is, a numberof extremely important, public matters willneed- to be rushed through the House in a veryperfunctory fashion to give Mr. Forbes anychance of making the necessary arrangementsin time, and ..it is to be hoped that memberswill display a stronger sense of their responsi-bilities in this respect than was revealed in toomany cases, during the"'debate on the petrol tax.

OUR DEBT TO A PIONEER.

; Twenty o(r I thirty years ago the name ofWesley Spragg, was a household word inAuckland, but a generation has arisen that isignorant of the enormously valuable work hedid .for the province and, for the Dominion.Everybody knows that Auckland's prosperityrests mainly on.butter, but if the average manwere asked who was the chief pioneer of thebutter export industry he'probably would notbe able to answer. It is much the same withfrozen meat; how many New Zealanders knowthe names of- the pioneers in that industry?Ashburton, however, has honoured with astatue John Grigg, the owner of "Longbeach,"the finest ,of New Zealand farms, for his partin that enterprise,. and Auckland might wellconsider - doing,: something to perpetuate thememory of ,the : late, Wesley Spragg. He wasthe first Auckland exporter of butter in the

: days, before refrigeration,-and the co-operativemovement in dairying in this province owed itsSuccess to' liis; organising, ability. He hiusthave brought .'to; bear; on the problem anunusual equipment of brains and determina-tion to succeed as he I did. He livedto see/' dairying: the greatest industry inthe' province,' Auckland the niost prolificdistrict, ' and. his < co-operative system thepopular method of organisation for production. JTli©'seed he sowed grew into a tree yieldingmillions a'year. however, was only oneofMr." Spragg's"activities. He led a very busylife and served the community well in many

• directions. In his old: age he gave Aucklandtwo parks—one' on the Manukau and one inthe Waitakeres—which at present are too faraway to be used much or to*be valued at theirtrue worth, but which some day. will berecognised to be priceless. He was indeed aworthy pioneer, and his memory'should be heldin honour by the community that lie enriched.

TRAMS AND BETTERMENT.

Tho proposal of the West of Queen Street■Development Association to - offer a subsidyon a "betterment" basis toward the cost ofputting a tfani.service :intb Albert: Street iswell worthy.of serious consideration. We donot'jhink .that-this; suggestion should beregarded as an argument in favour of thisparticular extension. If it can be shown thatit would benefit the-city to lay down a tramlinein Albert Street, then that course should beadopted; but it should be based on reasons ofpublic policy, quite irrespective of thissugge"sted method of meeting the expenditure.On .the other hand, it may be fairly; contendedthat the principle of "betterment" is a soundone, and that, if the whole of our tram systemhad been constructed on,.that basis, it w eouldhave paid for itself long ago. The TransportBoard is, still- engaged in considering: variousschemes tfor; the relief of the congestion in.Qiieen Street, and Mr. Allum and his colleaguesjwiU^noidoubt'epnside'r-the Albert Stret';scheme-carefully-alpngiwithitheirest.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Varying Values.The difference between.market values and

Government valuations was strikingly illustratedin the sale at auction yesterday of a* Devonporfcproperty. A four-roomed Ixouse on a level sec-tion, *46ft bj 102ft, was sold William A.Home, Ltd., for £170 cash. The Governmentvaluation of the property is £610, and under, theDeVonport rating valuation it was valued at £300unimproved-and £390 capital value.Trial of Steam Bus.

Preparations, are 'being made by the Auck-; land Transport Board to experiment with a steambus. At the board's workshops in Manukau Roadan old bus, capable, of accommodating 30 pas-sengers, has been converted ready for the instal-lation of a Doble type of steam engine, whichis being constructed in. Thames. Should thesteam car prove satisfactory, it is probable thatothers will" be secured for various runs in thecity. It has not been decided on wMcli routetlie new type of vehicle will-be given a trial.Damage by Stoats and Weasels.

Destruction of game by stoats and weaselswas reported at a meeting of the AucklandAcclimatisation Society last evening, when it wasstated that the-depredations of these pests madethe liberation of impossible in. severaldistricts. One member reported that the exter-mination of the kiwi in many districts could'toa, large extent be attributed to stoats and weasels,and another mentioned the case of a farmer intlio Raglan district who had had several lambskilled by stoats. It was decided to secure reportsfrom the sub-societies before approaching theGovernment for permission to destroy groundvermin in districts that are free from rabbits.Preserving Maori Pas.

The Auckland Land Board has taken stepsto preserve the a'.icient Maori pas that werefound some years ago at Waotu South, near thebanks of-the Waikato River.s The principal pa,'Piraunui, is on the property of Mr. W. M. Com-,mons, of Auckland,, and is situated on the easternbank of the Waikato River, opposite the Mdtuquarry, from which the contractors of the Ara-puni dam drew their supplies.,of sto'.ie. Arrange-ments have been, made by the Land Board andMr. Commons to set aside 30 acres: containing;the pa as a reserve. Other pas in thd vicinity,Hokio, Pawaiti and Puketotara, are situated onnative la'.ul, and they will also be set aside asreserves when the adjacent land comes into use.Serving a Summons. *

How a summons w,as nailed to a man's frontdoor was related at the Blenheim Magistrate'sCourt the other day, in a case in', which A. A.Vorbach was sued for outstanding rates by theBlenheim Borough Council. Being unable toeffect the service of the summons in the usualway, as the whereabouts of the defendant couldnot be ascertained, the borough officials naileda copy of the document to the front door of hisresidence, and also published a copy as aiv adver-tisement in the "Marlborough Express." HisWorship accepted this form of service and gavejudgment for ■ the borough by default for theamount claimed.Cancer Research Campaign.

A cancer research campaign is to toe launchedon September 1. This decision was arrived.atat a meeting of the Auckland division of the NewZealand branch of the British Empire CancerCampaign Society yesterday. It is hoped tocomplete the campaign "by the end of October.A campaign programme, submitted by. theorganiser, Mr. -H. Welsh, and; adopted, includeda manufacturers', exhibition.. It is hoped thatat least 3000 articles will bo donated. Coupon*for the purchase by tender of.these articles AviHbe given to subscribers. The, meeting decided toask the 'assistance of the military" authoritiesfor the holding of a military tournament at theDomain and to invite the Governor-General toreview the troops. It is intended to hold acarnival parade on the same day,"and, if possible,a street collection. Bazaars and concerts-alsowill be held, and subscription lists will be widelydistributed. , * : .

To School by Taxi.It is doubtful whether there is a more, happy

lot of school children in the whole of New Zea-land than a party of eight Maori youngstersattending the West Lyttelton School, Canter-bury. The children attended the .school atRapaki until the end of last year. After thesummer holidays the Education Departmentdecided to close the. school, owing to the smallattendance and for reasons of economy.' It wasthen arranged that the children should attendthe West Lyttelton Seh6ol. As the distance fromRapaki to the school is tlirce miles and a' half,the Department' arranged for the pupils to beconveyed to and from the school by taxi. Wetor fine, eight little Maori children reach theschool ; warm.and smiling, and never late. Theyenjoy their. rides, to school in' the fine limousinetaxi immensely. ' ..;.-.'..'■■[Onehunga Resident's Mistake. -•.'.--

■ " In these hard times £10 notes are few and,far between, and it is rarely that one is tendereda tram conductor inpayment of a fare. An One-hunga woman committed this error recently,thinking she was asking for the change of a 10/note of similar size. The conductor did not.noticethe mistake 1 either in the tram or when he.cashedup in-the. evening. A teller in'the employ of theTransport Board mado the discovery that aiierror had beefy made, and immediately reportedthe matter. Almost.; simultaneously the rightfulowner of the "tenner", found that .there was ashortage in her cash, and communicated withthe board's officials. When boria fides had beenestablished, the mistake was put right. Thewoman' had reason to be gratified at her.goodfortune, for her . £10 might have -fallen 'intoless honest hands. \: \

The Old S.S. Tongariro. ".. . |

Mr. E. G. Price, of Russell Street, Ponsonby,'writes: "Having read your interesting article,'The"'First ,1 Tongariro,' I would1 like'to say a fewwords about the old ship. I made the passage toNew. Zeala'-id in it. We left the Royal AlbertDocks on January 10, 1889. I was a lad fromthe training ship Warspite, and it was my firstvoyage.. Captain J.

Aerodrome Purchased.The purchase of the aerodrome at Mangere,

hitherto leased by it, has bee'-i completed by theAuckland Aero Club. Eighty acres are involvedin-the transaction, and £7200 is the price .atwhich the property, will change hands. The yen-dor was"Mrl W. Mcßae Peacock. When the aero-drome has been properly graded, it will be suit-able>oth for light aeroplanes land' two and three-engiiied aircraft" Attention will be given tothe social side of the club's activities, and plansare being prepared for ,a clubhouse. The clubpresident, Mr. Spencer R. Mason, says that thecommittee 'is satisfied ■ that it has obtained the Ibest ground possible, having regard to the fundsavailable." The,property has good approaches,and is well drained and free from obstructions.It is'proposed to construct a new road into theaerodrome about a mile and a half nearer thecity. To allow the club to develop to the fullestextent, it has bee'.i necessary to obtain perma-nent tenure of a, property. The aerodrome will;be available for all' aircraft/ and it is believedthat it will serve- ilie needs of the vcity arid dis-trict: till .the. growth .of commercial aviation,necessitates a larger airport.,, The purcliase of theaerodrome-has been made possible,?by Wi ; arf:tmioii: '"':■■

AUCTION BRIDGE.

5 STEALING A SLAM.

(By A. E. MANNING FOSTEB.).

To carry off a slam, not simply by forceinajeure, but by gauging tlie enemy's, mentalityand acting accordingly, gives a thrill over andabove the actual points gained. The verychagrin of the, opponents at being caught nappingis a. tribute to one's adroitness. ; ,

A amd B each held an Ace and had theopportunity of making two tricks, but Z wangleda little slam. A had dealt at love score andpassed, Y said "One Spade"; B, "No bid"; andZ, with less than sufficiency in Spades, made itone No trump, which all passed. The hands were:

A led.the 7of Diamonds, Z winning with the10. He could see eleven tricks—five Spades,apart from a very unfortunate division,, twoDiamonds, and three Clubs. Also the King ofHearts can. be made/by leading the suit fromdummy, the Ace 'being marked with B by A'soriginal pass. With two quick tricks A wouldhave bid his Diamonds.

Besides these, eleven tricks, there will be afourth Club if the opponent's Clubs fall in threerounds. A possibility of a little slam. But thetrouble was that B might play his Ace of Heartsdirectly he got in and the two red Aces wouldstop the slam. ' • .

Could Z induce B to hold up his Ace ofHearts for one round? That was the problem Zset himself.. At trick two Z led the King ofDiamonds, wliich A took with the Ace, and ledanother Diamond to clear the suit. Z then putdummy in wifli the King of Clubs and led the10 of Hearts'from dummy as if he were goingto .finesse. . t ' .

B acted jusfc as Z had calculated. Havingno Diamond to return to his partner, and hopingA would get the lead with a Heart for his Dia-monds, B. passed the iO. Z planked on his Kingand proceeded to gather in- the remaining tricksfor the little slam.

UNKNOWN COUNTRY.The editor of a,book of New; Zealand shortstories informed his readers,, in a preface, thatthere was little country in these > islands "any

wilder ..than Dartmoor." It is rather a pity thatthe author of ..that ■• remarkable statement couldnot haye been taken out into the bush and themountains—and. lost there—by the party ofexplorers, whose nine weeks' Avork in WesternOtago was.mentioned in a telegram this week.Ihese wanderers have been. tramping and campiri"-in.the region,between Milford Sound and Jack-son's Bay and Mount Aspiring discovering canyonsand lakes hitherto unmapped.

Both north and south of Milford there is somecountry that is as yet imperfectly explored, anda thorough search of those/parts is likely to revealnew landscape features which will fill in the blankspaces in the Government -maps. Such a Searchand purvey will be costly, as well as difficult,and it is a , task.only for men specially qualifiedfor the hard work in the most rugged alpinecorner of the Dominion. Indeed, it is jaiore diffi-cult than exploration in the central parts of themountain backbone of the. South Island, for thedense forest, far wilder and more tangled thananybush i» the Sfoirth Island, and the gorows,precipices and show torrents make of it an almostimpenetrable .wilderness. It has been suggestedmore, than once that aeroplanes could be° used',with advantage.in such work, and no doubt tins iwill be done some day -when the Survey Depart*!nient, can afford it. Reconnaisance and photo-graphic work from the air would greatly assistin the survey, just as it has in the unknown parts ■of South. America and also recently in Papua

DUTCH COURAGE.That heroes are simply people with enlargedadrenal glands was the contention of Mrs M GAdams, lecturer in biology at Cambridge Univer-sity, m an address she gave to the summer school,it. may be true that an aggressive kind of courage

is clue to some physical cause, and this physicalcause is quito -as. likely to be adrenalin as any-thing else. Stimulants produce the same effectas is shown by the expression "Dutch courage."Modern writers are very fond of ascribinr'°allvirtues and vices to some purely bodilv function.In Uncago they make a special study of "beliavi-ounsm in order to find the* reason why somepeople do, one thing and some another. The blamelor ill deeds is often shifted on to inanimateobjects ■by tlio teachings of ; this school. We aretold that the colour of a wallpaper can be respon-j sible-for nioods which are conducive to acts goodor bad, that the ornaments and furniture of ahouse influence character and our impressions ofthe world,: and-thatyexperiments made with dogsshow that our reaction to evil or good promptilie'sis dependent on the salivary, glands. Crime Isattributed, to some defect in the inhibitory ner-vous- system, while our virtue depends on thedue: functioning of the • sympathetic nerves. Theolder theologians sought to escape. from personalresponsibility by the doctrine of original sin. Thiswas very ■ convenient because we were able toblame our .very remote ancestors for our short-comings. Some objections were felt to this onthe ground that this ancestry was common to alland the doctrine of predestuiation took itsplace. Under this doctrine it was held that men\vere predestined to be either good or bad andso were not personally to blame if they werebad. With-the decay of interest in theologicaldoctrines a new . school arose which ascribed" ourvirtues and vices alike to "the totality of environ-ment," to an "inferiority complex," to salivaryglands, and now to adrenalin. But these con-venient'explanations by . which we seek to excuseour pleasant vices do not. wholly, account for thetotality of human. behaviour. 'There is a finercourage than that due to rum or any distillationof coal tar; The quiet heroism of struggle againstadversity, and kuch virtues as generosity, patienceand'kindliness proceed from the spirit and mindof man rather than from any physical elementin his nature. The highest heroism is not tlioheroism which is: reckless of danger, but ratherthat which, recognising the peril, boldly faces itin a worthy cause. The ancient Greeks riglitly

.taught that the end determined the value of themeans. Thus they said that, to irisk your liferecklessly: and, needlessly was foolhardiiiess, butthe same risk in a noble cause, was courage. Thespirit-gives value "to ' the act. ( t , —W.M. . (

Apropos of the passionfor killing things that can't hit back'there wasa one-legged gull that.used to hop around onwharf sheds for some years.

IN THE PUBLIC MIND.PETROL TAX.

A FARMER'S VIEW\ \ £

(To tlie Editor.)| The articles appearing in your column,from time to time on the above subject havebeen interesting, but in most cases lopsidedThe general complaint seems to be that thsmall lorry owner is going to be hit the horde?and perhaps put off the road. Let. us examina few figures connected with my own carta»which is done by a li-ton lorry. The distanceis two miles one way, making four miles earttrip, and the price is 3/0 per ton and the lorrvaverages twelve miles to the gallon.takes one gallon of petrol to shift, four anda half tons. The extra tax is twopence' tnthe consumer, or less than one halfpenny ni-ton, and you can bet your, boots the nrinoof manure carting next year will be four shnlings per ton instead of 3/Gi. So I would"liUto know how the small carrier is getting hurtThe people who will pay the lion's share as'usual, will be the labourers and the smallfarmers, who have nobody to hand it dowrto. The only other person who cannot baudit down is the, "tourist," and I say if ) le canafford to own a car and use the road he canafford to pay the tax. The irony of the wholething is that the last petrol tax was startedby the Farmers' Union (of which I am proudto be a member) for the express purpose ofderating farm lands, but instead the presentGovernment has willingly accepted the ideato assist in balancing the BudgH and. thepoor old cocky has had his row lengthenedinstead of being shortened considerably.. :..r„

WAGES AND PRICES.

Your correspondent "Liberal" says tluit I"ignore the fact that the present position is

due to the farmer getting lower wages forhis .products." Does "Liberal" mean that allindustries arc dependent on the farmer gettinghigher wages for his products? The.farmer, jhas what no other industry in New Zealand ihas: An open market overseas for all hisproducts over what the country can "!>-i |whether it is beef, mutton, butter, wool, cheese, |etc. To get down to bedrock, the faraner-prp-duces only two articles that are real necessi-ties, viz., cereals arid butter. Vegetarians dowithout meat; cheese and eggs, as far as bomgnecessities is concerned, can be dispensed witli.There is no unemployment resulting from ovci-production by the farmer, the .overseasmarkets take all he can produce.

Hours ahead of the tentative schedulethe airship was heading out over theAtlantic early on Thursday afternoon,after passing the Straits of Belle Isle.The commander utilised to the utmostthe favourable-winds down therence and across the Gulf until hetouched 80 miles an hour, with aji "aver-age of close to 70 for the first 540 miles.

CHURCH'S CALL.ENCYCLICAL LETTER.

War, Birth Control and DivorceQuestions Dealt With.

LAMBETH RESOLUTIONS.

(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

LONDON, August 14..The Encyclical Letter issued by the

Lambeth Conference, in -which 300archbishops and bishops review the70 resolutions carried, is a stirringcall to Church people individuallyand collectively, to bear more faith-ful witness in word and deed to thefaith, hopes, purposes and resourceswhich are theirs as members of theChurch.

■ The document lays emphasis upon theremarkable progress lately made towardthe reunion of the Churches throughimportant conversations in the confer-ence with delegates from the-OrthodoxChurches, old Catholics, the Church ofSweden, the Church of Scotland andother bodies. Most notable is the pro-posed union of the churches of SouthIndia, resolutions generally approvingwhich were unanimously adopted.

The suspended discussions with theleaders of the Evangelical and FreeChurches shortly will be resumed. Inthe meanwhile the faithful are enjoinedto persevere in the quest for visibleunity of the Church.

A memorandum embodying the resolu-tions adopted points out that thedecisions of the conference are mainlyin the nature of recommendations -andtherefore are not binding on any churchwithin the Anglican communion untilconfirmed by "the respective churchauthorities.

The conference attaches weight to acall to serious Christian people to realisethe necessity for banishing from theirminds ideas concerning the character ofGod as being inconsistent with thecharacter of Christ. The report says:"We affirm the supreme and unshakenauthority of the Bible as presenting thetruth concerning God in its progressiverelation throughout the Old and NewTestaments."

Three Important Issues.The conference, presumes that public

attention probably will be fixed on threeother groups of resolutions in relationto:— ;

(1) Church union in South India.(2) The attitude of the Anglican

Church toward war.(3) Remarriages of divorced persons.The resolution concerning war reads:

"When nations have bound themselvesin a treaty or pact for the pacific settle-ment of international disputes, the con-ference holds that the Christian Churchof every nation should refuse to counten-ance any

_war in regard to which its

Government has not declared its willing-,ness to-submit the dispute to arbitrationor conciliation."

In. cases of divorce the conferencedisapproves of remarriage by the Churchwhile a. former partner is living.

The conference affirms that the dutyof parenthood is the glory of marriedlife. It sa'ye: "Where there is clearlyfelt a moral obligatidn to limit or avoidparenthood the method must be decidedon Christian principles." It stronglycondemns the use of any methods ofcontraception from motives of selfish-ness, luxury or mere convenience.

The memorandum concludes with areference to unity: "The Anglican unionis becoming a world-wide community offree, self-governing churches. Amongthese there stand already the churchesof the United States, Canada, Australia,New JJgaland, South Africa, the WestIndies and India. In such a partner-ship none can, or wishes to, dominatethe others."

ANCIENT RUINS FOUND.

ON LORD BLEDISLOE'S LANDS.

. • LONDON, August 8.A very interesting discovery has been

made at Lydney, on the borders of theForest of Dean, in the deer park ofLord Bledisloe. Governor-General ofNew Zealand. The Society of Anti-quaries' excavation on a small steep-sided hill revealed a hitherto unknownNorman castle, consisting of a smallrectangular keep measuring internally30ft by 23ft, with walls 13ft thick atthe base. There is also an inner courtsurrounded by a curtain wall and anouter court defended by a partlynatural escarpment and partly by anearthen bank and a ditch.

The kitchen of the castle is entirelypaved with Roman bricks brought froma former adjacent Roman settlement.

The newly discovered castle datesfrom .the twelfth century, and i 3 notmentioned in any historical document.It is believed to have been built by theowner of the loQal iron forges to pro-tect his workings in the iron-bearingForest of Dean.

FIJIAN'S MACE.

WAR CLTJB FOR PEACE.

LONDON, August 8.The recent removal of the mace from

the table of the House of Commons, hasled Mr. A. B. Brewster, of Melbourne,who was formerly a well-known lawyerin Fiji, to write to the 'Times" anaccount of the formation, in Suva, in1871, of a local House of Commons byLieutenant George Austin Woods, aretired Eoyal Navy officer. Woods, whowas admitted as a member of theFijian.Royal family, assembled the lead-ing chiefs and white planters and aconstitution was formulated.

The Eoyal family's war club was pre-sented as a mace, which was sent toSydney and dabbed all over with littlefrosted silver doves and olive branchesjas symbols of peace. In 1874, when'theUnion Jack was hoisted, the mace wassent to Queen Victoria, who lent it toa Royal Colonial Institute exhibition,since when it has never been heard of.

OVERSEAS SPORT.CRICKET "CRIME."

Critics Infuriated by DroppingOf Chapman.

THE SELECTORS DIVIDED

(Dnited P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright)

LONDON, August 14,

The controversy aroused by theexclusion of A. P. F. Chapman fromEngland's team to meet the Aus-tralian cricketers in the final Testmatch to be commenced on Saturdayat the Oval continues unabated.Chapman says he cannot throw anylight on the cricket mystery.

The fact has been revealed that themeeting of the selectors at which thedecision was made was one of the mostprolonged of recent years. Ordinarilytho team should have been announcedlast Saturday but the disagreement waseo marked that Rhodes, one of theselectors, was asked to remain inLondon over #ie week-end.

The decision to drop Chapman wasnot reached until after a very lonjr dis-cussion. The views of J. C. White,another of the selectors, as to the drop-ping of Chapman, are not definitelyknown, but it is stated that there wasa distinct cleavage on the committee,with a slight majority on the side ofthe drastic change. H. D. G. Leveson-Gower favoured Freeman'e inclusion,but Rhodes opposed it.

EDUCATION CHANGES.DRASTIC RECOMMENDATIONS.

Separate Universities for North and SouthIslands.

TEACHERS' TECHNICAL COLLEGES INCLUDED.

MORE MONEY FOR RESEARCH AND LIBRARIES

An additional report on the education system 'of NewZealand has been prepared by a Select Committee of the Houseof Representatives, covering all aspectsof the question beyondthe primary stage. The report is so extensive that it is difficultto embody even the whole of the recommendations in a briefarticle. The outstanding one is that the University of NewZealand be disestablished and replaced -by -universities ofNorthern and Southern New Zealand, each unit including theexisting university colleges, agricultural colleges, research insti-tutions, teachers' training colleges and the four city technicalcolleges.

"A CLEAR GASE."

NEW SYSTEM NEEDED.

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION.

EXISTING EXAMINING BODYUNNECESSARY.

TEACHING COLLEGES STARVED.

(Br Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.)

WELLINGTON, this day.In the second part of its report on the

education system of the Dominion theSelect Committee on Education proposesthe abolition of the .University of NewZealand and the grouping of the exist-ing institutions under two headings, onegroup in the North Island and the secondin the South Island.

After most careful investigation andconsideration the committee came to theunanimous conclusion that a clear casefor a fundamental reorganisation of theNew Zealand University system hadbeen disclosed. One the one hand, saysthe committee, it found "that Universityteaching, colleges starved* forlibrary "and research- facilitieSi and seri-ously understaffed, especially in.arts andBciencet classes, yet. on the other hand,in the cage of the special schools, suchas engineering and forestry, they wereengaged in open and expensive com-petition, of a nature whieh could not beconsidered other than inimical to theeconomical and efficient development ofthese branches of education in theDominion. Over all the committee foundthe New Zealand University, with appar-ently no other function than that of con-ducting formal degree, scholarship andmatriculation examinations, which thecommittee felt could be otherwise satis-factorily provided for, or altogetheromitted without materially impairingthe efficiency of the teaching institutions.

Question of Relative Importance.It was quite clear to the committee

that it was impossible to look to theState at the present time for furthermoney with which, to provide the undeni-ably necessary library and staffing addi-tions for colleges. The committee wasconstrained, therefore, to weigh in thebalances the comparative importance oftheee, ae against the continuance of thepresent examination system conductedby the New Zealand University.

The committee, therefore, recommendsthat the New Zealand University bedieestabliehed, and thai ite accumulatedfunds and annual revenue from Statesources be made available for the im-provement of libraries and staffing con-ditions at university colleges, in accord-ance with the scheme set out below: —

(a) That theexieting university col-leges, agricultural colleges, researchinstitutions, teacher training colleges andthe four city technical colleges be con-solidated within each island to formtwo self-contained universities.

(b) That these universities be uni-versities of limited charter, with pro-vision for reciprocity in the recognitionof degrees and diplomas, and that theybe empowered to arrange for jointexaminations, as may be found desirable.

(c) That the governing body of eachuniversity be composed of. representa-tives elected fey «ach of the constituentinstitutions, and that each institutionshould contribute a proportionate shareof the expenses incurred by such govern-ing body.

(d) That in order to ensure the fullestco-ordination between research andteaching institutions within each uni-versity the Departments of Educationand of Scientific and Industrial Researchbe placed under the same Ministerialcontrol.

Use of Accumulated Funds.(e) That of the accumulated funds of

the New Zealand University the sum of£20,000 be devoted to the immediateequipment of the University college lib-raries, and the remainder set apart asa permanent endowment for their main-tenance; that the annual savings effectedby the abolition of the present NewZealand University examinations and

I the reorganisation of the bursarysystem be devoted to improving thestaffing of the University colleges,

• particularly in the arts_ and sciencedepartments; that the endowmentknown as the Opaku Reserve be resumedas a national endowment for. the benefitof the University of Northern NewZealand, and that the revenue therefrombe devoted to the purposes set ' outabove; that investigation be made into"the value of all public educationalendowments in New Zealand, in orderto ascertain whether greater benefit canbe derived from them, and thewhole of the endowments be dealt-withon a national basis. ...

:.....

„. ..*

(f) That a -unifonn scafe of staffingand salaries be adopted ior all institu-tions comprised within the two universirties, and that all salaries of teachingstaffs be paid, by the Government direct:

(g) That as an initial basis ofreorganisation the universities ofNorthern and Southernl2s"ew Zealand beempowered to conduct courses and

grant degrees in those subjects andschools for which

__

their work is atpresent approved "by the New ZealandUniversity. '• -

(h) That provisions, similar to thosecontained in the present New ZealandUniversity Act be made for the purposeof safeguarding the national interestswith respect to the establishment ofnew schools or the expansion of existingschools within the University colleges.

Entrance and Degree Exams.(i) With respect to the standard and

nature of University entrance and degreeexaminations, the committee recom-mends: (1) That if, and in so far asthese are inferior to the standards ofthe best British universities, they shouldae soon as possible be brought into linetherewith; (2) that as far as is prac-ticable ' the examination system be aninternal one, in which the class recordsof the candidates should be regarded asof. equal weight with the results of anyformal examinations held, and that allexaminations, as far as is possible*should accordingly be.condueted by NewZealand, examiners; (3) that in accord-ance with the essential function of theuniversities, as teaching and research,rather than degree-granting institutions,every encouragement -be offered; *asrecommended hereinafter, to enablematriculated students to attend fulltime at the University colleges, and tha"tin- order to prevent, hardship close indi-vidual consideration be given to everyapplication for exemption from suchattendance, each "case to be decidedstrictly :upon its. merits;- (4):- that in.prder fco,ancoura<je research-work" on the;part of ■ students,- conditions should be Jattached to all-University scholarships,requiring .the holders to undertakeapproved research work and to presenta report thereon.

The Financial Basis.The opinion is expressed that all the

facilities indicated above can be pro-vided from the grouped resources with-out calling on: the State for additionalfunds. The revenue of the New Zea-land University and the four constituentcolleges is. stated as follows:— ■•,

University of 3N*ew Zealand .... £10,446Auckland University College ....i £20,420Victoria University College .... £ 16,393Canterbury University College .. & 14,219Otago University College £26,220

Total .; .'".... £87,004In addition there is the following

revenue from interest and endow-ments :—University" of New Zealand,£3646; Auckland, £5888; Victoria,£4748; Canterbury, £19,559; Otago,£21,187; total, £5a,028.

The income from examination , andother students' fees," £27,225, exceedsthe examination expenses by approxi-mately £10,000 annually.

There is .apparently no recomendationin the report affecting the existence ofeither of the forestry schools.

The accompanying letter referred tooverstafilng in Government Departmentsand contended "that payment of 14/ perday was an economic blunder. The let-ter concluded by stating that if thepolicy"of building uneconomic railwayswas "insisted upon there would be afinancial crisis within a few vears.

Mr. W.

FEWER STUDENTS.PROPOSAL IN REPORT.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

GIVEN UNIVERSITY STATUS

CONTROL OF TRAINING COLLEGES

(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.);WELLINGTON, this day.

Those recommendations of the SelectCommittee on Education proposing a

drastic reorganisation of University edu-cation are dealt with under a. separateheading. Some of the leading sugges-tions in the report on other aspects are

given below. ' ■ .

An extensive section of the reportdeals with school leaving certificates andUniversity entrance examinations. Thecommittee sets out a system of indivi-dual record for "each pupil following onthe primary school course, and recom-mends that the University entranceexamination be restricted to candidateswho sign a statement of their intentionto.proceed to the University if successfulin passing such examination.

It is recommended that a UniversitySchools Board of Studies be set up, com-prising representatives of the UniversityCollege, the Education Department andthe public and registered non-Statesecondary schools, to consider all ques-tions relating to secondary schoolstudies, examinations and certificates,and to advise the University Councilsand the Education Department thereon.

The training of teachers is the subjectof a number of recommendations, thechief of which is that the training, col-leges in the four centres be handed overto the control of the University Collegeauthorities, together with their build-ings, equipment and staffs, and that the-general lecturers so handed over be util-ised to reduce the size of classes in theUniversity arts and science departments.

Technical Education.The committee's proposals regarding

technical education, which are very fullydiscussed in its report, are focussed intothe following recommendations: —■

(a) That, subject to the changes inadministration" recommended, the exist-ing boards of governors of the technicalcolleges be continued as technical collegecouncils, together with their associatedapprenticeship and other committees.

(b) That every effort be made to de-velop technical "colleges as institutionsfor the higher technical education ofadults and adolescents in employment,and for the training of apprentices.

(c) That the schools of mines, at pre-sent under the control of the Depart-ment of Mines, be transferred to theEducation Department, end their work,eo'-ordinated with that of the technicalcolleges.

,(d) That non-matriculated students ofUniversity colleges be transferred as faras is practicable to the technical colleges,with provision for the recognition oftechnical work done therein, iii.the eventof -Students- subsequently matriculatingand desiring to proceed -to-degrees.'■-'■ (e) That in each of the four chiefcentres an approved number of membersof the University, College Council beappointed to membership of the Techni-cal College Council, and vice versa, andthat a joint advisory committee be setup by both councils to consider andadvise upon matters of common interest.

(;f) That the Universities of Northernand Southern New Zealand should eachset up a faculty of' technical education,to advise- upon all applications by techni-cal colleges for University recognition ofcourses and to arrange for the joint con-duct of all iechnological examinations inNew Zealand.

General Questions.Further important proposals of .the

committee include the following:—That the present system of award-

ing University and other bursaries andallowances for higher education, includ-ing training college studentships, berevised, and that the bursary systemrecommended be supplemented by theinstitution of a system of Statefinancial assistance to deservingstudents, by way of either straight-outgrants or loans, with or without inter-est, upon such repayment terms* as may.:be deemed advisable according tothe special circumstances involved.Each application for assistanceshould be endorsed with the' recom-mendation of the superintendentof education of the district in-which theapplicant resides, or of the dean of thefaculty -within which the student ispursuing his studies, and should be con-sidered upon its -own merits.

... ,; Religious Teaching.

That no system of religious instruc-tion in. State schools should be author-ised such as will compulsorily requireany State teacher to disclose his or herreligious beliefs or his or her adherenceto any particular denomination, or tolake part in religious exercises otherthan of his or her own free will; butthat on the , other hand the fullestliberty should -be given to thoseteachers who .desire, of their own accord,to. assist in the:Nelson or any similarsystem of religious instruction thatjnay be authorised by law.

That the medical examination ofchildren bo extended' to include allprimary and secondary school childrenin the Dominion, and" that the train-ing and duties of teachers be soarranged as to enable them to giveadequate attention to the suitablephysical education of children in caseswhere the medical examination dis-closes a need for such education.

Home Work Discouraged.In "the opinion of the committee

home work in primary schools shouldnot be necessary. It considers that inthe primary schools the setting al homework in grammar and arithmetic shouldbe prohibited, and that in all schools,post-primary as- well as primary, theimposition of home work should bereduced to a minimum.

Corporal punishment sliould be re-duced to a minimum, and a recordbe kept in all eases -where it is in-flicted. .■■' - '■•.••• ' ' -■• -

function to,-day to the. British Rugbyteam gave' an assurance that anotherBritish team would probably visit NewZealand within the next ten years.

The intervals between the visits toNew Zealand of Rugby teams from Eng-land have been varied. In 1888 the firstteam from..Britain ,came here, and Siv-right's team followed in 16 years (1904),while Harding's Anglo-Welsh combina-tion came along four years later, in 1908.Since then New Zealand waited nearlysixteen years for an invitation to Britain,and for 22 years for a British team'svisit. ■ ' .

THE SOCIAL ROUNDPERSONAL ITEMS.

Tho guests of honour at the luncheontalk at the Lyceum Club yesterday wereLady Herdman, Miss Carnachan, Mrs.Kenneth Gordon and Miss McWilliam.

Mrs. Scrymgeour ie reputed to be theworld's best woman judge of live stock,particularly cattle, of which she has aline selection on her station property inNew South Wales.

Mary Roberts Rinehart, the UnitedStatee novelist, has been created a mem-ber of the U.S. Public Lands Commiesion.Mrs. Rinehart is an authority on the FarWestern States, and is the only womanmember of the commission.• In speaking of the cancer researchcampaign yesterday at the LyceumClub, Mr. J. H. Shstw said that New Zea-landers suffered very badly from aninferiority complex, which they shouldstudy to overcome. New Zealanderswere very far from the centre of things.They were but a small people, veryyoung and very far away, and they donot appreciate New Zealand abilityenough. They could do anything ifthey would"' only wake up and supportone another. The young people, hemight bo reminded, did not lack con-ceit, but that was just the reverse of aninferiority complex. If New Zealandershad -not a, virtue they convinced them-selves that that virtue was not of greatvalue in our world. A great thinker inVienna lad truthfully eaid that eelf-aasertion was but the reverse of a senseof inferiority. Could New Zealand doanything? It could do as much ae anyother country if the attitude of mindwas right and the people got knowledge.

CANCER RESEACH.The need of a wiser outlook on theincidence of cancer was the subject takenby Mr, J, W. Shaw, M.A.,:when address-

ing -the members of the Lyceum Clubyesterday at the luncheon talk. He wasbriefly introduced by.the president, Mrs.W. H, Parkes. Mr., Shaw explained thathe did not.speak as a technical expert*but as one of the great public who shouldtake-a-niucli widev outlook and do their

utmost against a very subtle enemy;which threatened everyone. H& hadknown children attacked. There was noreason why research should not be of•great value in New Zealand, and. herelated the history _ of the discovery ofthe cure of smallpox from the chanceremark'; of a dairymaid, who said thatshe couldnot take' smallpox because shehad suffered from cowpox. Cancer.wasa great scourge, and all should enter thefighting line against the disease andstudy how to combat its; ravages. Thefirst thing was to know about a disease!The idea that we could, help by pretend-ing that it was not there was wrong. Tofight cancer, we must gain knowledge ofite history. That was only commonsense. There was a steadily decreasingdeath-rate, but that, might be becausewe were living longer than formerly. Inthe Elizabethan "times the average lifewas 40 years; now it had risen to 60 orthereabouts. He felt that the mentalattitude of the New; Zealanders to thedisease was wrong. If people shut theireyes to. danger they were going toencourage what they.feared. Unless wewere absolutely frank in facing diseasewe were not going to make much head-way in the matter. We must face up tothe thing and beat the enemy, for itsgreatest ally was fe&r. If people wouldface things, and go to a, medical atten-dant in the early, stages of cancer therewas every hope,, for;the percentage ofcures was. between .60 arid 80. It wasnecessary that people should support thespecial research movement, in New Zea-land, -for -other countries were spendinggreat sums in the campaign, and" condi-tions, differed in each country. There wasalways "the .hope that we might 'dropacross some vital fact, and he appealedto voluntary workers to come forwardand give all the.assistance within theirpower t6 assist the committee.to makea success 'of such a vital thing: to the lifeofUhe Dominion. At'the close of a veryinteresting address Mrs. .Kenneth Gordoncordially thanked.the; speaker. . ; "I ;

PROTEST UPHELD IN SPREYDONHURDLES.

(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.")

CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday.. The .conditions were perfect for thesecond day of the Canterbury JockeyClub's Grand National meeting, andthere was some interesting-sport. Thetotalisator figures again showed a de-crease, but the drop from £43,483 to,£33,545 was not quite, so serious 'asthe first day's slump.'

Beaufort Steeples.Radiac was a hot favourite for the

Beaufort Steeples, carrying £1114, com-pared with Kapuna (£657). DiamondJack, Snowball and Airtight led overthe post and rails, but at the Kennelsdouble Radiac and Diamond Jack went

.on in front, while at the sodwall Radi-ate and Charlatan were next. DiamondJack fell at the top of the straight, andat the stand double Radiac jumped pastRadiate, with Kapuna eight lengthsaway and Snowball last. Radiatetookthe lead at Cutts', but Radiac'was infront again at the sodwall, with Radi-ate arid Kapuna in close attendanceCharlatan fell at the post-, and rails.

Radiac led over the Kennels.' double,.where. .-Matu-..took' third .place andRadiate started to drop back. Kapunajoined RadiaC in the lead after jumpingthe sod wail, and they were 'togetherat the top of the straight, whereRadiate fell. Kapuna then drew away,and, making no mistake at the 'astfence, beat.Radiac easily by four lengths.Matu was six lengths away third, fourlengths in front of Snowball, who putin a good run over the last, six furloiigs.

Winner.placed Second on Protest.I For • the Spreydon Hurdles, Paris

JMemb.o jumped 'to the ,frontr GayFashion joined Mcmbo in the lead at themile. post, with Exide next, and theothers close up. Exide and'Membo were

.together at the , six-furlong post,'just

.clear of Paris and Gay. Fashion, withWest Dome and Zippor two' lengthsfurther back. There, little change

■■■■■:. till they reached the home turn, where..• Membo went on from Exidc, CayJi'ashionjjand J?aris following" in, that

•; the straight;;.wae reached, , and ut the last hurdle■Membo was justTclear of-jParis and Gay:Fashion. An exciting- finish on the flatresulted in Membo beating Paris byhalf a length, Gay Faehion being- 'ten

lengths away, two lengths in front of.West Dome. A proteet was lodged by

•;■}the connections of. Paris, for Membo..crossing . .in the straight, and, being

;;,. Majigani fell at the next hurdle. Pan-• .golin led Mountain Guide and Onieo.7 along the straighj;, and at the stand'% hurdle Pangolin was. ■ six lengths - in.; front. Cariiithia then jumped to. second*

;--place with, Omeo, Mountain Guide andBorealis following, him out of

-Vtho straight.. Pangolin's lead was,? slightly decreased at Cutts' hurdle, and

■■-■.■>, at the mile post Pangolin was only two."I lengths, in -front of Garlnthia, . ,with.Aurora Borealis, Mountain Guide and

■;.,) Omeo at the head of the' others, who''_ were -in close order with LlyiisDhu just.starting io move up from the back.

.and Dumblane were smartest out, fol-"•-lowed by Air Laddie and Hounslow.•After going two furlongs Semper. Para-

: ;;' tus made a forward move, taking secondplace behind Dumblane, while a little

■ further on Advcntus and Grattus ran to•-••■•■-.the head of the next bunch. Dumblane

led Semper Parafcus and Adventus - into'.the straight, where Rapina was showing,vVon the outside, with High Gear going-.well on the rails. High Gear shot

through at the distance arid etallecl ofta late run by Compris, .winning-, comfort-

: ably by a length. Dumblane was two'-: lengths away, three: lengths: in front of

A GOOD NEW ZEALANDER.

VICTORY.

Mr. S. A. Eawdon has good reason forhis liking for New Zealand-bred horses(says the "Australasian"). When libbegan racing "on a large scale a littlemore than 20 years ago he bought severalhorses; in the' Dominion,' among thembeing Broadsword and Sharpshooter, whowere purchased from their breeder, thblate Sir George Clifford. With Broad'-s'word he' won the Dbncaster Handicapand Adelaide Birthday Cup, and .Sharp-shooter was a useful: sprinter. RecentlyMr. Kawdon acquired the-.three-year-oldWaterline from Sir ; Charles Clifford for2000 guineas, and he now has no. reasonto regret.the purchase, as Waterline wonthe Malakoff Stakes at; Caulfield. Thatwas his first outing in Mr. Bawdon's col-ours. It cannot be said that Waterlineis a beauty as he«is rather; leggy andlight through the middle, as well as ljav.ing avgoose- rump. They gallop in allshapes, and .there is no doubt about thegalloping ability "of. Waterline, as ■he isa reachy swinging: mover -and his actionis perfection when he is extended. Whe-.tKer he will carry weight is.;. ppen todoubt, biit he will win plenty of raceswith reasonable weights. Lord Essex wasa great tip for the Malakoff Stakes, but,when it was seen the going was heavy hedeclined the engagement. Proud Scot wassent out favourite, but Waterline wasbacked down to second favouritism, withThe Gujdo and Claronga next in demand.Claronga was the early leader, butWaterline was always close to him, andran to the front turning into the straight,where Claronga knocked, iip. Amanthusdrew up to Waterline soon after startingthe home run, and for a moment lookedlike going past him. Waterline, 'how-ever, was going comfortably, and whenWilson shook him up he strode awaywithout an effort, and won quite easilyfrom Amanthus and Sartaress. ProudScot ran badly. He was about fourth thelast five; furlongs, from home and thenbegan to move'up, but after getting upnear the. leading division he faded outand finished well back; The Guide shapedvery badly and never seemed to be going,well, nor did El -Rey make any show.Waterline is' engaged in the .Metropoli-tan with 8.4, -which 'is 6lb lighter thanJiis weight in the" Caulfield. and MelbourneCuiis, andjt'is quite-possible he will goto Sydney for- the Metropolitan;later :<m'.\

BREAKS BLOOD VESSEL.

MOUNTAIN GUIDE-INJURED.

(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.")

CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday.

Tractarian, the winner of the HuntCup, had two races in South Canter-bury as a preliminary to Ms visit toRiccarton. Hβ was second to Deport-ment at Waimate, and,a week later wonthe Pareora Hunters' Steeplechase atWashdyke. Hβ has a fair turn of. speed,but his. great asset is his very safejumping. '.../:

Taramoa, who filled second place inthe Hunt Cup, is a Solferino gelding,a brother to Apache and Paris, bothwinners in better company than theirrelative. Taramoa gave a good exhibi-tion of jumping all through the race.

Double Soult showed more speed thananything else in the Hunt Cup, but hiaindifferent jumping spoilt his chance.

Charmcuse gave further evidence ofher ability as a sprinter by outclassingthe opposition in the Wools]ton Handi-cap. She has not clone a great deal ofracing, .and she looks certain to developinto a good performer as the seasonadvances, while she may go a-gooddeal further than six furlongs later on.

Desert Song ran a good race when hefinished second ill the Woolston Handi-cap as he met a bit of trouble on thejourney. He is racing very solidly, andlooks 'certain to w.ijft good races thisseason. ' •" .

On Top' jijoyed' expensive to hisadmirers in the Woolston Handicap, buthis failure was due to misfortune. Heseemed to be well, placed in the :earlypart of the journey, but.he disappearedsuddenlyj and it transpired-that he hadbroken

*

a blood vessel. He . was in abad way after the race. When he wasdropping back Portray buriipcd Win on

to Hurly Burly, who was knocked onto the rails. The stewards,on, making inquiry, were satisfied thatthe incident was quite accidental.

'•.' v A , Smooth Performer.kapuna gave a very smooth perfovra-

anco in tlie Beaufort Steeplechase. Hislumping throughout, was very clean, andunder his light weight he outstayedKadiac over the last half mile. Kapunahas run a couple of good'races oyer theRj'ccarton' country lately, and furthersuccesses may be expected from him.

Kadiac, though beaten-in the Beau-fort Steeplechase, was responsible fora <wl performance. His jumping, as

usual, was clean and fast, with theexception that he hit; Cutts' fence. Heis well up now in the 1 weights, but hisclever jumping will help him to moresuccess.'

Matu was responsible for a soundperformance in the Btaufort Steeple-chase, and was finishing on well, thoughno better than Snowfall, whoso effortover the last half-mile suggested some-thing even better if lie tackles thelonger journey of the Lincoln Steeple-chase on Saturday. . . , ; ,

\

rParis followed- up his second to LlynDu on Tuesday by running anotlier goodrace in the Huwlles, Membobeat him after an interosting struggle,but' there was an inquiry, -which re-sulted in the places of'the pair beingreversed. Membo had led over th a. finalhurdle, where he«bluridered: and on re-covering, he crossed over in 'front ofParis. The incident, in the opinion ofthe, stewards, had an effect, on the re-suit. Membo jumped,in much improvedform' compared with some of his recentefforts, and looks a good prospect' for

.himile races at Southern meelir.g?; thisseas"oii.

/The performance of Aurora Borealisin. the- Grand National Hurdles was the.best that has ever been registered inthis event by the winner of the GrandNfitioiia'l Steeplechase.. Sh*:. appears tobe one of the rare exceptions who canmix hurdling and steeplechasing s'ncrccssfully. This remark also applies toOmeo, who followed up his cress-countryrace on Tuesday with a fine perform-ance among: the hurdlers, .although hedid not stay on so well as was lfopefl.

King's Jest staying on in goodstylo in the Grand National Hurdles,and Aurora Borealis. was all out tostall oft" his late challenge.

CARINTHIA'S WIN.

A BRILLIANT JUMPER.

SCORES VERY COMFORTABLY.

(By Telegraph.—Special to ''Star.', )

CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday,Carinthia's win in the Grand National

Hurdles was. one of the most impres-sive that has been seen in that eventsince, the distance was increased. Ifhasnot been often in recent years that thefield has included so many horses withgpod credentials as stayers, but Carinthiamade the opposition look rather ordin-ary. Jumping brilliantly he was: in-second place a mile and a half fromhomeland for the remainder of thejourney he never looked in seriousdanger of being beaten. He never madethe semblance of a mistake,»and he wasbeing eased up in the home run from thelast hurdle, the result being beyond anydoubt at this stage. He did his earlyracing in the colours of Mr. Eliot Davis,of Auckland, and later in those pf Mr.J. M. Samson, and was purchased at his!clearing sale by his present owners,Messrs. W. H. and C. L. Orbell, twopopular South Canterbury huntingenthusiasts. They started off by givingthe horse a spell, and a little over ayear ago-ho won a small hurdle race inSouth Canterbury.' After three successesthis season he was sent to Trentham,where he beat a good field in the WinterHurdles last month, and ever since thenhe had' been one of the popular fanciesfor the Grand National Hurdles. Helacks brilliancy, but he is a great stayer,while his exceptionally fast jumping isan added asset. Early in his jumpingcareer he had the reputation of beingmoody, but latterly he has racedgenerously, his form over hurdlesbeing very consistent. Since hehas raced in his present owner-ship he has been trained at Washdykeby F. Trilford,, who has had a goodeducation in handling jumpers. Hisfather, S,. Trilford, was a master withthem, and ten years* ago he producedHylans to win the Grand NatioualHurdles.

TE AROHA JOTTINGS.

HORSES FOR THE SOUTH

A. COX'S TEAM,

■ Consequent upon the continued successof horses sired by Day Comet, the TeAroha Jockey Club has full reason to beproud of the part it took as a member ofthe country racing clubs in the importa-tion of Arcliiestowii and Day Comet.Right from the outset the leading offi-cials of the club had undoubted faith inthe judgment of the late Mr. E. D.O'Rorke, who selected both horses inEngland. Although the son of St. Frus-quiu was sold cheaply to the late SirGeorge Clifford, the sellers have no re-grets, because they were gratified at thefact otMhe horse being purchased for ahigh-class stud by one of | the leadingowners in the Doiuiuioii.

In the Sylvia Park Handicap at thePakuranga meeting, Voliniond is notthrown in with 9.0, and unless she ispretty forward on the day may find diffi-culty in coping Avith horses that haverecently been on the winning list. Herowner, .Mr. P. A. Swney, may be de-pended upon to start the Limond mareif he considers she is ready to run oiitseven furlongs. .. . . -

On Thursday last Sir Russell. under-went a successful throat operation atthe hands of Dr. W. C. Ring. .TheArchiestown gelding has not sufferedaiiy ill effects, and is expected to takeup track work again in less than threeweeks. In general constitution he prom-ises to be better than last year, when hewon £785 in stakes. . ■

In the list of winning owners last sea-son, the principal Te Aroha winnerswere: P. A. Swney £2120, J.'lL Wallace£785 and A. E.'Lemiard £600. . ■•' 'i

J. H. Wallace has just rccommissionedAntique. This Tonbridge gelding hasdeveloped very considerably ia conforma-tion during the winter, and is-now avery sturdily-built thoroughbred. He isexpected to be in racing trim in twomonths and certainly gives promise ofbeing a success as a five-year-old-. He isto race in the colours of his owner-trainer, who, in at least some events,will have a strong hand with Antiqueand Sir Russell to do battle for him.

A.-Cox. will ba. leaving for the Southin a few days with Black Maire, Indo-lent, Miss Albyn and .Glehispn. It isintended to race them at Dannevirke,Mavton and Wanganui. . .

Oj] account of having an enlarged kneeBlack Maire may not be in great demand,with backers on,the Southern tour. Inany casp he may have to be raced intoform. Should the tracks at Dannevirkeand Marton be deemed too heavy, theGlen Albyn gelding will uot be starteduntil the Wangamu fixture.

FATAL FALL.

MOUNTAIN GUIDE DESTROYED

MOST CONSISTENT PERFORMER

While contesting the-.Grand NationalHurdle Race at ■Riccarton . yesterday.Mountain Guide, owned by Mrs. B. Me-Leod,.of Auckland, and trained by E.

This was very bad luck for. his owner,as Mountain Guide was a very promisinghurdler and few lieginners have shownsuch aptitude alid corisistencyr. Moun-tain Guide commenced racing overhurdles at the . ;Wliangaiei' spring meet-,ing, where he rail second to Golden Wed-ding.in the Poroti Hurdles. His nexteffort was at the Waikato autumn meet-ing, where he ran second, to Glena Bay.At the Auckland autumn meeting hewas runner-up to Star Comet in the St.Helier's Hurdle Race, and at the Avon-dale autumn meeting a week later wassecond to Airtight in the AvondaleHurdles, and second to, Kauri Park inthe " Hobsonville Hurdles.

Sub-editor is shaping well in his \vorkat Ellerslie and looks like making a use-ful sort this season. He is showiuo-plenty of pace in his work, but is still abit big in condition, and may be all thebetter for a little racing.

■ Aurora Bbrealis put up a fine perform-ance at the Grand National meeting. Thedouble lias not yet been won by one horsein the same year, but she went'very nearit yesterday when she finished second inthe,C4rand National Hurdle Eace.

Rule is shaping well in her train-ing tasks at Ellerslie and will be in goodorder for the early spring meetings. .Sheput up, a useful effort over five furlongson the Xo. 3 grass track yesterday morn-ing and should pay her way among thehack sprinters.later. .

Catoma has, never looked better thanhe docs.at the present, time and is get-ting through a sound .preparation atheadquarters. • Although' he has . neverwon a stake, Catoma has shown plenty ofspeed in the few' races that he has con-tested, and now that he has become solidbetter results can be looked for...

Rigoletto was tried as a hurdler at theGrand National meeting on Tuesday, buthis jumping was not too good and hefinished well back. He is by King Markfrom Hoy, and is therefore a full-brotherto King's-Jest, who has shown good formover hurdles during the last few months.

The big maiden three-year-old RulingKing is making steady progress tinder■W. Kemp's caro and will probably'•. begiven a run at the Pakuranga meetingnext week; ■ He has not done much racingso far, but should do well when properlyseasoned, for lie. is a/prorriising-looking■gelding and comes froni a successful rac-ing family., '..'■ .-.:'" ;'\''.,,': :

H. Rama's maiden candidate, Thunder-storm, lias made-good progress duringthe past month or two and is hitting outin improved style in ,his, track work. Heis now better conditioned than, ever hehas previously been, and, judging by theway he is sprinting on the track, hisowner should be able to place him. toadvantage during the spiring meetings.

Paris, who finished second in the Sprey-don Hurdles at Riccarton yesterday, butwas eventually : awarded first place,showed promising form when raced atTrentham last month, for he was secondto Mountain Guide and third to Avro andMake Up in his two efforts there. ■ OnTuesday he was second to Llyn Du in theTrial Hurdle Race, so that he has beenmost Consistent. . :,■'

. Gay Cockade has come on very" fastrecently and,'though be has only been inwork for a short period, he is quicklyhardening up into racing condition. Hewas responsible for a pleasing effort atEllerslic yesterday morning over six fur,;longs, registering the fastest time overthis distance. Providing heas he is now doing he should be seen toadvantage during the spring.

Kawainga has not been shaping toowell in her recent track work, but. thisis probably due- to the heavy .state ofthe ground, as she appeared to go muchbetter than usual when wprked over sixfurlongs yesterday morning, when thetracks were more firm. She is engaged inthe Dimcdin Handicap at the Pakurangameeting to-iriorrow week, but wjll haveto improve a good deal to stand a chance.

Tiii Mint, a three-year-old by Catmintfrom Adi/Viinivola* who is trained by 'W.Patterson, Mr as given his first sprint overa few furlongs at Ellerslie yesterdaymorning and shaped well for a novice. Heis a; nice mover and should dp well w'henhe- iiaa hfid a bit of racing.

After the race it- wasdiscovered. tliatßest Friend,had a badlyenlarged hock, .due, -it is thought,;togetting kicked-at the- post, for therewas .a long delay;!at tlie start..This willno doubt prevent Best Friend formkeep-ing immediate, engagements.;. -•

j him over the big fences, and he gave a,first-class ; display. Mashoor is top-weight in both the Hunt Cup Steeple-chase and the Hunters' Hurdles at thePakuranga. meetingnext week.

Liißonia and Grand Spirit, a. pair offillies in W. Gall's stable, are both shap-ing satisfactorily in their Avork at. head-quarters.

BROWNE IN FORM.

Last Saturday the Domain was thecentre of some interesting sport, whenthe Auckland Amateur Athletic andCycle Club held another of its competi-tions for the cross-country season. Tlieweather conditions were the worst ithas been but, despite this,larger fields turned out in. each fo theevents, which were keenly contested. Inspite of the fact that the track washeavy, excellent times were recorded m

the sprint and steeplechase. Althoughoccasional showers swept across thefield everybody enjoyed the outing.

The 75 yards sprint, which was overheavy oround, was-run in two heats andthe 'final. In the first heat H. McNeiltook advantage of his handicap andwent on to -win by a yard from Roper,who was coming up very fast. J. Turn-bull won the .second heat by a yardfrom Wheeler, who was inches ahead ofMontgomery. The time for the firstheat was eight seconds, or one-fifth.ofa second slower than that of the follow-ing heat. The final was a closely con-tested race, the. placed men finishingwithin two feet of one another.' Turn-lniir got the best of the start, but with25-yards to go McNeil seemed to be thewinner, but the rest*, of the field camethrough very fast, and. robbed him ofhis cliaiice. Turnbull went on to win bya foot from Wheeler, who Mas a similardistance ahead of McXeil and Roper. '

The three wile steeplechase, ■whichattracted a dozen competitors, -was runover true, cross-country conditions, andproved a triumph for the virtual scratchman; A. 13. Browne. . He ran'-a^.iine race,displaying excellent judgment, andfinally .breasted the tape fifty yardsahead of the second man. He has hadnumerous successes throughout the sea-son, and "should bo a certainty for localrepresentation at the .Dominion Cross-country Championship.

T. Henry, although he is a well-knownsprinter and 440 maii gained secondplace; after having tjic'lead for. over alap. JETe ig just running in the steeple-chase for training, and the stamina he isdisplaying will prove him very difficultto beat in the New Zealand champion-ships. H. McNeil seemed, to make aii.event of the day, for he was in everyrace. He filled third place in,the steeple-chase, and seems .to be rather unluckyat n6t winning the'race; However', hesticks to the race and always finishes,and is a good.man for the. backmarkersto take the pace from.

Theracing track at Otahuhu had been muchappreciated by owners, and both local

and visiting trainers, and every advan-tage had been taken of the opportunitiesafforded to give horses trials on thegrass track before a. meeting, j

TAXATION RETARDS PROGRESS.

Referring to £*Je

on the operations of the Waikato Trot-tin" Club during the past season, thepresident, Mr. H. Burch, at a meetingthis week, said that the heavy taxa-tion levied upon clubs was retardingprogress. The club's balance-sheet, whichWiust been audited, shows. that, theclub's income totalled £8733. Its ex-penditure included £3000 in stakes and£•'934 10/6 in taxation, The sum,oi£721 5/5 was provided for. depreciation,.while general expenses accounted for£833 8/5. The club's assets are valuedat £SO7l 14/9, and its only liabilityis a tank overdraft of £2431 3/4. '

,

Referring to the balance-sheet at ameeting ol the executive, Mr. Burchsaid the heavy load of taxation waskeeping the club, from progressing. Asatisfactory feature , was that the. clubhad reduced its overdraft. Itnecessary to- allow for substantialdepreciation, for the club .had tolook forward' to- the time when its leaseof the course would expire and it hadto provide against loss if: the lease-werenot renewed.

TRAINERS FROM BRITAIN.MESSES. YOUNG AND CQWSELt,

(By Telegraph.—Special to "Star."): CHRISTCHURCH, Friday,"

The . Scottish trainer' ,Mr, ; J. Youngarrived;here last week with foiir horses.Accompanying the visitor is C. Cowselljan English trainer, who, brought.,onehorse with him.. Four "other .horses aredue to arrive here-early next month.There are six pacers and three trotters,in the team, but three of them havenot yet raced, being, two and three-year-olds, v ■:.... •.

Mr. Young, in an interesting chat,said "he-was very pleased with the rac-ing he had witnessed at Addington. He.was particiilarly struck with the man-ner in which horses were driven .andthe way they.kept, their positions in arace, and on the short acquaintance hehad of the .racing, .he-paid a high tri-bute to the drivers at Addington. " -'.

His. horses that have arrived had asplendid trip,, and they all look in first-class '■health. -. The'-'conditions. : here arequite different from those to which, hehas been accustomed, and "he anticipatesthat .it ■-Tfili-; take him some time to gethis horses that have raced to stand upto the.'barriers. ■ In, Scotland, where, hesays, ifciie sport is .at a very low ebbcompared with here, the races arenearly all mile events 'and from flyingstarts. He instanced the fact.that 2m32s is considered a fair class ,;in Scot-land, and, therefore, he was much im-pressed with the speed shown at*Adding-ton, while the .general appointments ofth_e. course, stands ■ and general controlwere' an. eye-opener to, him. The new,arrival stated, that everyone liein" the sport had been keen to give Jiim'all the information'possible, for .whichhe was grateful.

wards (owing to the departure of an-

other team on tour), will play NorthAuckland at Eden Park. It is quite a.new Auckland side, but one which lias

distinct possibilities should the 'teamstrike combination, and there is a dealof interest being taken- locally in theshowing of the new rep. players. TheNorth Auckland team has given veryvariable exhibitions on tour, the gamesincluding a high-scoring draw with Wai-rarapa.

THE THIRD TEST.THAT TRY BY LUCAS,

" Papakuraite " inquires about pointsrelating to the try scored for New Zea-land by P.' Lucas/in the recent RugbyTest match at Auckland. All the pointsin question are to some extent mattersof conjecture. As one who had a clearview of the.movement the "Star" sportseditor would state/hia opinion on tilepoints raised as follows:—(a) Lucascaught the ball at a spot slightly nearerthe sideline than an imaginary parallelline drawn from the nearest goalpost,say about 20 yards in from the side-line; (b) his nearest opponent before hecroeeed the line was Morley, his vis-a-vis, .who was within less than a yard ofhim when he caught the ball, but eithercaught on the wrong foot or so far offbalance that he did not even touch Liicas;(c) Lucas crossed' the goal-line actuallyunopposed, and then met Baseett rushingover to stop him, swerved past Bassettand ran on to place the ball behind thepO6tS.'

Brighter League should -be seen atCarlaw Park to-morrow, when threematches will be . played ,in thesenior.competition. The principal gameof the day will be the meeting of pon-sonby and Marist, and much hinges on

the clash. Should victory rest withsuburbs, Ponies will hold practically an

unassailable position on wie ciiampion-ship ladder. A win for -the Avearers ofthe green, on the other hand, mightnecessitate a play-off between Ponsonbyand City. Both teams are playing fast,open football, and have forwards whichteam with_their fleet backs./ Judging byrecent form, there should not be a greatdeal between them in the end. Thecurtain-raiser will be provided byDevonport and City, and another excel-lent game should be the. result. OnNo. 2 ground, Ellerslie will engage theimproved Kingsland-Athletic thirteen,and honours should rest with the latter,who gave a good display against Rich-mond a fortnight ago.

• 3SW ZEALAND CHAMPION BEATEN.

The Auckland Badminton Association'sfirst championship and handicap tourna-ment was commenced in the Scots Hall

yesterday, when good progress was made■srith the large number ,of matches to beplayed, play being of a high standard.Some very even games were witnessed inthe men's singles. D. G. andC Mallett. and Mansergh and Tonks hadclose matches, the first-named cf the pairwinning in each case after a hard-foughtthird game.

J. Southon. the present New Zealandchampion, has reached the semi-final, but■was hard pressed by O. Ernst in the firstround. Southon won 'the first game whileErnst took the second fairly easily bygood smashing and an effective drop shot.Iα the final game Southon bustled Ernstfrom the begirding and won 15—6.

The ladies" singles provided the onlysurprises of the day when Miss A. Ellett.the New Zealand ladies' title-holder, wasbeaten by Mis.s Marjorie Macfarlane in theeecond round, and Miss I. Solomonat the hands of Miss M. Waters.Miss Macfarlane was able to clear Miss;Ellett's short shots with a. good clearingone. which was combined with anticipa-tion and agility. The match between Miss-!Solomon and Miss 31. Waters was very ievenly contested and was really a test ofendurance. Miss Water's remarkable back-hand strong cross-court shots, however,gave her an advantage.

M the ladies' doubles' the Misses R. and3L Waters beat Misses J. Ramsay andDarling in an evenly contested match,although Mias R. Waters established anearly lead in the final game.

AMUSEMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE.The Majestic Theatre was crowded

last night, when the weekly change of

programme was made, the bill of farebeing first class. It is a long time sincesuch a screamingly funny film has been

presented as "Loose Ankles." Thehumorous situations which developed inquick succession kept the .house in a

simmer of merriment, while at timesthe audience simply roared. The prin-cipals are Loretta Young and DouglasFairbanks, jun., but they are. somewhatobscured by the comedy team headedby that great fun-maker Louise Fazenda.The story is built round a young ladywho is left a huge fortune by hergrandmother; but there are extraordi-

i nary conditions attached to the bequest.She must marry, and her guardian andtwo maiden aunts must approve of herchoice. Unless this condition is carriedout, none of the beneficiaries are toreceive a penny. The girl loathes theconditions, and sets out to make a scan-dal, and advertises for a "good-lookingand unscrupulous" young man to be herpartner in a society scandal. The situa-tions that are created are tremendouslyfunny. A visit is paid to a cabaret onthe date fixed by the police for a raid.This place of entertainment is known asthe Circus Cafe, and some splendidvaudeville "turns" are witnessed in aring, the whole idea being to imitatecircus performers. Some of the acro-batic dancing and clowning is remark-ably well done. The aunts go to thecafe to find their niece, and are invitedto drink "punch," which makee themgo "wild and whoopee," some of theirantics being comic in the extreme. How-ever, the heroine falls in love, andeverything ends happily, with the bene-ficiaries "on side." The supporting pro-gramme is exceptionally bright. As thetheatre's contribution to music week,a selection from Act IV. of "II Trova-tore" was sung by Giacomo Rimini andRosa Raina, of the Chicago Opera Com-pany. The news reel was more thanusually entertaining, and included amassed parachute descent, in which 20men jumped from the same 'plane; andthe running of the Kentucky Derby.There was also a comedy and a finejazz band selection.

PLAZA THEATRE.Bright comedy is the outstanding

cliaracteriatic of "Tie Golden Calf,"which is the main attraction in thedouble feature programme which waspresented at the Plaza Theatre lastnight. The story is set in the Latinquarter of New York, and deals with ayoung advertising artist, who is tryingto make his name in the world. He "hitson the idea of drawing advertisementsfor stockists, and sets out to search for-the perfect leg, or the "golden calf" ashe calls it. Working for him as hissecretary is a young and very Puritani-cal girl. Her employer and his friendnaturally think she has no legs at all bythe way she covers them, but she is inlove with the handsome artist, and onenight measures her calves, only to findthat they tally exactly with the requiredmeasurements. In an ecstacy she triesto convince her employer, but he onlylaughs at her. Many humorous situations

> arise until the finale is reached. SueCarol plays wonderfully well as thelittle secretary, while Marjorie Whiteprovides many a laugh by her antics.Most of the comedy, however, eminatesfrom El BrendeL ' Jack Mulhall playsthe role of the artist. "The Hide Out" isthe second attraction, and is a pleasingstory of a youth who went wrong and

I how he regained his character. A filmof the fourth Test, played in Wellington,is also shown.

NATIONAL PICTURES.Two feature pictures will be presented

at the National Theatre on Saturday toreplace Greta Garbo in "Anna Christie."They are "Be Yourself," an all-talking,singing and dancing revue, with thefamous New York comedienne, FannyBrice, in the leading role, and "ParisBound," a delightful romantic dramastaged by the Pathe Company, with acompany of well known dramatic starsin the principal characters. Fanny Brice,a former David Belasco etar actress andZiegfeld Follies headliner, has now estab-lished herself as one of the moet talentedartists on the screen. There are four bigtheme songs incorporated in the story,each of which is sung by Miss Brice, andthey were "all created for this brilliantsinger, dancer and comedienne. She willbe supported by an all-star cast, includ-ing Robert Armstrong, known for hisBroadway ring battles in "Is Zat So,"and Harry Green, the comic, star of"Close Harmony" and "The Kibitzer.""Paris Bound" is a remarkable anddaring drama of high society life. In itMiss Ann Harding, a famous Broadwayactress, ihas achieved an outstandingtriumph, and it is said ie is splendidlysupported by Frederic March and LeslieFenton. "Paris Bound" unfolds anintensely modern story of a society mar-riage—and the road to divorce. Featuresof the production are tlhe mounting andsettings.

STRAND THEATRE.Dorothy Mackaill. will be seen again

in a "hard-boiled" rffle in "The GreatDivide"' at the Strand Theatre to-day.Miss Mackaill now plays an emanci-pated modern girl, whose "whoopee"ideas of life clash with those of theman she both hates and loves. Theblonde star has made a great success inher recent pictures in creating a newtype of screen vamp —a girl whose barkis worse than her bite. "The GreatDivide" is/an adaptation of WilliamVaughan Moody'a famous stage classic.The story is laid in the beautifulmountain country of Arizona, and thepicture is embellished with striking■scenic photography. Lan Keith is Mis3Mackaill's leading man. Others in thecast are Myrna Loy, Lucien Littlefield,Ben Hendricks, James Ford, CreightonHale, George JTawcett. Eoy Stewart andClaude Gillingwater. "Dance Hall," withArthur Lake and Olive Borden, will alsobe presented.

ST. CUTHBERT'S CONCERT."

Pupils of St. Cuthbert'e College gavea concert in the Concert Chamber of theTown Hall last evening. There was alarge audience, who showed great appre-ciation of the programme. Of unusualinterest were two sketches, one fromShakespeare's play, "The Winter's Tale,"and the other from A. A. Milne's delight-ful play, "Make-Believe." "The Win-ter's Tale" presentation had little incommon with Shakespeare's play, butwas in the form of a highly-divertingsketch of the old English sheep-shearingfeasts. The production was interspersedwith appropriate chorus numbers anddances. The scenes chosen from "Make-Believe" were "The Schoolroom" and"Oliver's. Island," and afforded splendidentertainment. A number of part-songswere excellently rendered by the collegechoir, and vocal and pianoforte soloitems, as well ae dances, were given bypupils from ' the various foraie. Exhibi-tions of physical culture and club drillwere included in the programme. . i

HENDERSON SCHOOLCOMMITTEE.

The monthly meeting of the Hendereon'School Committee was held last night, Mr.W. Haythornthwaite presiding.

The report of the special committee oneducation was discussed and the opinionwas freely expressed that the proposedchange in administration was an unwiseone; that it would detrimentally affect thesystem and discourage the efforts of localboards and committees on ibehalf of theirown schools.

The following resolutions were unani-mously agreed to:—"That this committeeprotests against the proposal to centralisethe education system of the Dominion,believing it to be opposed to the bestinterests of education."

"That this committee is of opinion thatthe powers of school committees should■be extended ae follows:—The committeeshould hold office fox not less than twoyears; capitation should be on a moregenerous scale; subsidies should be grantedon all moneys raised locally for schoolwork, irrespective of the. special purposefor which such moneys were allocated."

Poultry KeepingBy ORPINGTON.

ADVICE TO BEGINNERS.

WHOLE OR PART TIME.

CORRECT TEEDING.

A correspondent has asked the ques-tion, "As I am contemplating going in forpoultry farming, should I start on a largescale and give my whole time to thebusiness, or would it be better for meto take it up as a sideline until I getmore experience?" . .... . • .',

There are 'Some people who advocatethat poultry-keeping should be recom-mended as a sole means of livelihood andnot as a sideline. This'contention wouldbe all right in its way if the questionof managing a large flock profitably wereas simple as it is now difficult. Theknowledge of how'to make poultry pro-fitable on a large scale is certainly avail-able, but it is essential that such know-ledge should first be tested . out inpractice. Obviously it would not beadvisable for the average person to dothis at the outset on a large scale. Gain-ing experience in a small Av'ay as a side-line and. extending the plant as war-ranted by the increased knowledge gainedis the "only safe course. ■ . ...... -~':

, Large, Plants. ; , . , ; :

As regards large plants, these are onthe increase throughout/ the. Dominion.It is safe to say that tlie great majorityof.ithose-conducting;, these large .poultryplants find the business more or less aprofitable - undertaking. With the neces-sary aptitude and knowledge concerningcontrol and management'they are enabledto work even to the extent,of increasingtheir present stock on assured lines.Because these men possess the essentialqualifications for the successful manage-ment of a plant it shouldnot be thoughtthat anyone possessing a mere insight ofthe business can do likewise. For peoplewith no knowledge of the industry to takeup> the business as a sole means of liveli-hood,would be nothing short of courtingdisaster. The increasing number of largeplants which have been established hasbeen brought about in a natural way, andgenerally by the type of men well fittedfor "the business.

For the welfare of the industry it willbe well to allow the expansion of future

, large plants Ito develop along similarsound lines as hitherto. If thosefwho areat-present successfully conducting largeplants could be induced and encouraged inevery way to increase their flocks itwould undoubtedly be a means of increas-ing production and consequently placingthe'export trade in eggs on a more soundfooting. ' .

: . ;Feeaing For Results."I have a .flock' of about'4oo head of

poultry and I think I ought to get betterresults," writes "Remuera." Our corres-pondent then gives details of the dailyration arid asks whether I would adviseany change. In this ration, a fair quan-tity of. bread is used.

Personally I have never used bread andcannot see how it can be cheaper thanmeal and grain for a flock of more thana few birds. The subject of, poultry foodis important, for successful resultsdepend as much upon this factor as uponanything else. The specialist;, poultryfanners have long realised the'big partwhich foodstuffs and methods of feedingplay in their -work, and numerous experi-ments 'have been carried out? with-theobject of determining just what, particu-lar foods and the proportions of themare most suitable.

„.' Mash and Grain.' On most commercial farms it 'is usualto supply the food in two different forms—a mash at one period of the day andgrain at another. Mash can be fed dryor'W'et —that is, made, moist with water,niilk or'meat soup. Successful. poultry-men differ as to whether mash should bewet or dry. Wet mash feeders claimthat by their method the birds lay better,while its advocates say that the dryinash'.system saves much time. A simplemixture that has been known to getgood results is (by weight): Bran., 4parts; pollard, 6 parts; pea' meal, 1 part;meat.meal, 1 part. The amount, consid-ered as correct is two ounces per bird perday. The gr'ain, which should be throwninto frequently changed litter, should alsoamount: to-two ounces per bird per day,and should be composed of equal parts ofwheat, cracked/maize and barley in lateautumn, winter and early spring, whilein the warmer months good stout oatsshouldbe substituted for maize and bar-ley. • ' ■ •■■'■■ ■■•"■■

Fresh green food should be given dailyand plenty of fresh water and grit shouldbe available at all times. As far as egg-production is concerned, the housing andsituation of the houses are. importantfactors. Just a word of caution to ourcorrespondent—do not make too sudden achange in the food; work in the abovetested foods gradually. If, however, the.flock is not laying well, a drastic changemight- eventually .do more good thanharm.

Preserving Eggs."Preserve" (North Auckland) writes.:

"I.wish to preserve my hen eggs. Wouldyou please let me know if it is advisableto keep the rooster with the hens or tokeep him separate? Also, the same ques-tion as regards ducks and the drake;"'■'li'ajirig hens should be kept apart fromthe; males when not required for breedingpurposes. There is no reason whateverfor the males to -run .with, the hens-atany other time than: during the breedingseason. Infertile' eggs will; keep goodniucliMonger at summer temperaturesthan fertile eggs.. Ifi however, fertilee'rfgs are put 'into preservative whennewly laid they should keep just as wellas infertile eggs. .' v

ROYAL AUCKLAND CHOIR.

SECOND CONCERT.

The thirty-ninth season,- ' and secondperformance of the 1930 series was givenby the Royal Auckland Choir before,agood attendance in the Town Hall last'night. ; .. ;

An attractive .programme was, pre-sented and the items receivedenjoyable renderings. There was anattendance of 66 choralists. Dr.. W. E.Thomas directed the choir and. Mr.Cyril Towsey acted as pianist.,

Barthold Tours' "Hymn to Cynthia"was the opening number, and the sin-gers gave a performance of.it, revealingcareful regard for shading, enunciation,phrasing and clearly-defined part-singing. Sweetly expressed wast "Queenand Huntress," wherein the -tenors wereheard to advantage. The inner, musicstood out prominently in the, singingof the second verse and the chordingwas suitable in the unfoldi'ag of thp.final portion. Nice colouring markedthe interpretation of Jenkins' "The LeeShore." graphically treated were thedescriptive phrases, and the dissonantharmonies were decisively sung, whilstthe runs were admirably vocalised.Delicately managed was Allwaters' "Tothe Stars," wherein the part-singingwas specially commendable and tenorsand basses produced a nice vocal quality.The choir and Miss Caldow gave anexpressive performance of Huerters'"Pirate Dreams." Vigorously sung wasLovatts' "The Hag," and with the helpdf; the. pianoforte Limnanders' "TheSmiijggWrs'V received . a , creditabledelivery, the choir terminating its shareof the programme with a telling de-livery of Lloyds''"A Wet Sheet and aFlowing Sea." The trio in Bishop's"The Chough and Crow" was effectivelysustained by Messrs; Russell, Parkerand Rowe. ,

The Mount Albert Grammar Schoolchoir under the direction of Mr. A. .R.Gatland gave a.graphic reading of "TheSergeant-Major on Parade," and ten-derly sang German's "0 Peaceful Night."The vocalists were, deservedly recalled.

The Moore sisters presented goodensemble work in their admirable play-ing of MozartV "Rondo Alia Tauca,"and gave with taste and facility ofexecution Hayd'.i's "Minuet." MissJfina Caldow sang with vocal freedomand ' suitable phrasing Homer's "How'sMy Boy?'* gave an expressive render-ing of Houghton's ' "Not Understood,"and a tripping reading of Saiiderson's"Here's April!" After his skilful per-formance .of Liszt's 6th Rhapsodie, Mr.'Eric' Bell was warmly, encored. ~ ~ ;

OVER the AERIALWIFELESS NEWS FROM FAR AND NEAR.

: The new IYA orchestra will render itsfirst selections, over the air on.Fridayof next week. • -. , '

IYA did not; relay 2YA last Saturdayafternoon,, but. little 2YB did, and madequite;a good job of it, too.

On. Thursday next listeners to 2FCwill, en joy the presentation, of "My OldDutch," with, Mayne Lynton as JoeBrown, and Nancye Stewart as Sal.

will regret to-hear that Mr.'!Culford Bell, lYA's well-known announ-cer, became seriously indisposed while onduty at the studio on Wednesday even-ing and had to be relieved at the micro-phone by Mr. Pritchard. All who listento IYA trust that Mr. Bell will have aispeedy recovery'to his usual health andspirits. ■ .

• The latest-method of securing employ-ment', has been adopted with success by

•an ex-New Zealander now resident in,Sydney. He hired a "B".class station fora: brief period-, and told an unseen audi-ence ! of, his qualifications. Immediatelyafter-his talk had finished he received,per telephone to the station, the offer.ofa. commercial engagement, and promptlyaccepted it. , .

; From an account of the last meeting ofthe IYA Musical, and Dramatic Commit-tee, forwarded from the station, it wouldseem that.the'Broadcasting Company hasallotted a sum' ;of money—amountuhmentiohed—lor subsidising variousmusical organisations willing to allowthe broadcasting, of their public perform-ances in return. A basis for allocatingthis'money "was decided upon by the com-mittee and will be submitted to thesocieties that will. benefit financiallyshould they provide the quid pro quo inthe way of relays.

Special music week programmes willbe broadcast from. IYA throughout nextweek, though the actual Town Hall con-certs will not be relayed. A glancethrough v the station's programmes., forthis special festival'.occasion suggeststhat it. will hardly be necessary for lis-teners to go beyond their'own homes forreally good, musical fare. It is pleasingto note that Mr. Frank Campbell will beagain on the air on Wednesday evening.His voice is exceptionally, well suited forbroadcasting, and comes over as well asany that tlie writer has heard from IYA.

: In New Zealand, it ie understood, the.sanie conditions as in Australia applyregarding manufacturing royalties. JThatis, all patent claims are covered by anannual payment'of three ' shillings perlicense fee made by the Government fromthe five shilJihgß that is its share of eachset-owner's yearly fee. Thus the Govern-ment here is in much worse situationthan in Australia or Canada, for itreceives only two shillings per set, forall administrative purposes.

Australian writers have been most pro-nounced in their condemnation of tneAmericanising effect of many broadcastrecords now. used; One correspondent ola Sydney paper states: "I would not gothe length of .cutting out all jazz-tunes,for, although there is a monotonous lackof variety in their musical make-up, yetthey, no doubt,. please a certain numberof listeners, some, at least, of thebeing catchy and attractive. So long asthese latter are rendered only mstru-mentally then perhaps a proportion (nottoo large) might remain. But so soon aseomeh uman voice is introducedsimply to caterwaul some drawling,nasal Idiotic wailing, then my gorgerises,'and I should not feel astonished atsome listeners rising in their wrath and,metaphorically, slaying the miserableexponent, and the broadcasting stationfor aiding and abetting by reproducingit. It is claimed by other waters thatit should be ..pQseible .for.the.programmemanager to avoid the extreme use of jazzmusic arid slang, in the selection ..of pro-grammes, more especially as there is atpresent such a variety of good Australianand British music to make selectionsfrom. - • i

DAIRYING PIONEER.

MR. WESLEY SPRAGG DEAD.

PROMiwiarr ur pitbuc life.

DONOR OF TWO PAEKS TO CITY.

After a full and busy life of over 82years Mr. Wesley Spragg paesed away

peacefully this morning. Had he beena Frenchman Iβ would have had a statueerected to Mm long ago;.the French aremore punctilious in honouring such menthan we are. His chief claim to honouris that he was distinctly and emphati-cally the father of the dairy industryin Auckland, an industry which meansmillions of pounds to the province andupon which the prosperity of the pro-vince mainly depends. Old hands re-member the facts well, but the presentgeneration can have no idea of theenergy Wesley Spragg put into thebusiness. When he handed over the con-cern to the suppliers it m6ant launchingthe co-operative organisationwhich mencome thousands of miles from overseasto study, an organisation that has meantmillions of pounds to the man on theland.

Born at Madeley, Shropshire, in 1348,Mr. Spragg came to New Zealand withhis parents in the ship Ulcoats in theyear 1863. He learned the trade of car-pentering, but did not follow it for anylength of time. As a young man hewas attracted to the Thames when thegoldfields broke out in the 'sixties, andwhile there gave an instance of theinterest inTsocial problems that was smcha marked feature of his long life. No-ticing that the only place where theminers could spend their , evenings ina social way was the hotel, he andseveral of a kindred nature got a largetent and fitted it up as a reading roomwhere the men could find recreation.Religious services were held later, andthe tent was the centre of much goodwork, especially among the youngermen.

Launching a Great Industry.Like many other men, Mr. Spragg dii

not make Ms fortune at the Thames,and when he came back to Auckland hisundoubted flair for commerce led himto enter the grocery .trade. He was inbusiness in Onehunga and was after-wards a partner in a business in QuennStreet, Auckland. It was probably hisconnection with* the trade that first gavehim a hint of the great scope there wasfor improving the quality of the butter,and of the possibilities there were inhandling it.

In 1886, a few others, hestarted the collection and reconditioningof farmers, butter, and did a certainamount of exporting to Australia andelsewhere. There are many middle-aged Aucklanders who remember grate-fully the admirable quality of the pro-duct that bore the name "New ZealandDairy Association." It was perfect but-ter; even better than the article weturn, out to-day, because in those daysit was not necessary to make an articlethat would keep for months, and con-sequently there was more flavour auoutthe N.ZJD.A. product. Later on, withthe co-operation of Mr. J. C. Lov-ell, ofthe London firm of Lovell and Christ-mas, the New Zealand Dairy Associationwas developed on a large ecale. Whenit had reached dimensions that had neverbeen dreamed of, even by the most san-guine, it was sold to the dairy farmeraagji co-operative concern. Mr. Spragg,with his unique knowledge of the trade(by that time the exports had increasedby leaps and bounds!, continued to actas manager of the business for the sup-pliers right up to lfrls,,when he retired.The flret factory was eitiiated at Puka-kohe, then the most promising- centrefor the industry; to-day there is achain of factories throughout the Wai-kato,

Prohibitionist and Single-taxer.Throughout his life Mr. Spragg was

a strong advocate of total abstinence,and for many years he was a generoussupporter of the New Zealand Alliance.He was a staunch Congregationaliat.For many years he taught in the New-ton Congregational Church Sundayschool, and was long a deacon of Beres-ford Street Congregational Church.

his many other activities maybe mentioned that he, was a consistentadvocate of the single tax principlesenunciated by Henry George; In hislater years he was an enthusiastic mem-ber of the "Rotary Club;

Lover N.Z. Bush.Always a great admirer of the New

Zealand bush, Mr. Spragg very earlyrealised what a delectable area Auck*land had at its backdoor in the Wairtakers Ranges, and for 30 years he liada summer home right on top of theheights overlooking the isthmus. Hiscittage was situated where the Henderrson-West Coast tops the hill, with asuperb view rigrlit out to the Barriersand MoehaiU. Froih there he used ttodelight in exploring the beautiful hillsthat stretch right out to. the grand WestCoast cliffs. His pen did much , toawaken Aucklandere to the wonderfulheritage they possessed in the Waita-keres and an interesting little booklethe wrbte showed how ardently he lovedthem and how responsive his naturewas to their charm and the epell ofthe forest.

Two Fine Parks;On Mr. Spragg's property on the top

of the hills were some magnificentkauris, which he preserved with a tena-city that was characteristic, and alsocharacteristic of the man was the factthat in 1924 he presented to the citizensof Auckland 51 acres as a park, thearea comprising some of the finest bushon the property. It was a gift that a .couple of generations hence will be ap-preciated even more than it is to-day.

He gave to the people also a fine ireaof land on the shores of the Maniikau,Kaiterakihi Park, containing 7lti acfes,near Cornwallis. This was given inmemory of his only eon, killed duringthe Great War, who is also commemo-rated by an obelisk on the highest pointof the park.

Mr. Spragg was twice married. Hα issurvived by his second wife. Their onlySon was the one who lost his life in thewar. Surviving children, of the firstmarriage are: Mrs. Mary Simmonds,Mrs. E. Astley, Mra. F. Cummings, Mrs.C. Spragg and Mies Dorothy Spragg, allof Auckland. Brothers and sisters sur-

him are Mrs. Ebenezer Wood, ofCampbellfs Eoad, Mrs., Enoch Wood, ofMount Roekill, Mj?k Silas Spragg, df Dun-edin, and Mr.' Charles Spragg, of Auck-land.

BUILDING REPAIRS.

PROMOTION SOCIETY FORMED

RELIEF OF TmEMPLOTMBKT.

OPTIMISTIC OBSERVATIONS.

"People should realise that the pre-sent dull times are only temporary."

"Wβ want to loosen up the cash held

in the city. There fe plenty of it."These and other expressions of

optimism were at a meeting

held yesterday for the purpose of form-

ing the "Modernising Building PromotionSociety" to relieve unemployment. After

much discussion a strong committee was

formed with directions to incorporatethe society immediately. When thishas been done a further meeting is to

be held.The meeting was largely attended by

representatives of building trade organ-isations, merchants, manufacturers,trades unions and local bodies.

Mr R A. Aickin, who presided, saidthe proposals of the first J"*""*committee were by no means final. Nodoubt they would be modified when the

organisation wae fully developed. Thereport, which has been published, was

approved. He moved the registrationof the society which is to have for ite

obiect the relief of unemployment bythe promotion of the modernising ofout-of-date dwellings and other build-ings.

"Fear Complex" Deplored.The chief obstacle to the scheme, in

the opinion of Mr. G. W. Hutchison, wasthe "fear complex" from which manyAuckland people were suffering. ■Uβ

declared that the depression was only

temporary and that if a long view were

taken many avenues that would helpwould-be found. Many Aucklanderewho had made their fortunes m the

city shut up like shellfish when adepression came and eaid that every-thing was coming to an end. Suchpeople shoTild come forward to supportthe scheme.

"It is sad to eee these who are_ sup-posed to understand economic problemsgetting up and telling the public toeconomise." Mr. Hutchison added."The Prime Minister is one of them andthe chairman of the Bank of New Zea-land is another." Only those withmoney-could economise. It was quitesound, he admitted, to advise people toreduce certain forms of expenditure, buttrue economy was spending money m alegitimate direction. Any amount oftrust funds was available for invest-ment. Financial institutions could domuch to encourage legitimate enterpriseand show confidence in the future of thecity. While the proposed movementwould not be a panacea for unemploy-ment, nevertheless, if business peoplejoined together and supported it greathelp would be given certain spheres ofindustry.

The secretary of the Carpenters'Union, Mr. T, Bloodworth, explainedthat he had succeeded in persuading somepeople to renovate their homes. In onecase five weeks' work had been providedfor two men. There waa plenty of roomfor renovations.

Mr. J. Pnrtell, secretary of the Build-ing Trades Union, spoke in support ofthe scheme.

"People ought to realise tha-t New Zea-land is one of the finest countries in theworld, with a great future before it,"said Mr. Albert Spencer, ofthe Auckland Employers' Association."Anckland and its back country havesplendid prospects of development andprogress.

Position of Property Owners.Mr. C. F. Bennett said he knew of pro-

perties that needed improvement foreither sale or letting. An effort shouldbe niade to bring mortagagee aridthe mortgagor of such properties to-gether, and to find ways and means bywhich the mortgagor might not be dis-possessed. The mortgagee then mightnot have the property left on his handsunoccupied.

Of the 40,000 houses in Auckland pro-bably ten per cent could do with somemodernising, said Mr. R. A. Laidlaw. Anexpenditure of £100 a house would makean aggregate of £4(50,000 in the nexttwelve months.

Representing the Institute of Archi-tects, Mr. J. Park, said there were pos-sibilities of the scheme being extended,judging by inquiries he had receivedfrom- the cduntry.

At the, suggestion of Mr. A. C. A.Sexton it was agreed that the words,"for the relief of unemployment," shouldbe added to the title of the society.With this amendment the 'originalmotion was carried.

The provisional cOmniitte, which wasinstructed to enrol members, is as fol-lows:—Messrs. R. Aickin, H. W. Bfirfkeil,C. F. Bennett, G. W. Hutchison. J. Park,W. A. Phillips, A. Spencer, T. 81004-worth, It, A. Laidlaw, A. C. A. Sexton,.A. J. Hutehinson, and R. A. Corsish.

ALBERT STREET TRAMS.

PROPOSED BETTERMENT LEYY

CENTRAL PROGRESS LEAGUE.

AWAITING BOARD'S DECISION.

The president of the (Mγ-. CentralProgress League, Mr. F. N. Andrews,eaid this morning that he had no com-ment to make at present on the proposalby the' Albert Street ratepayers tomake a betterment levy for tJie purposeof raising £5000 towards the coet ofconstructing a tram line in AlbertStreet, except that the sum mentionedwas a very small proportion of the£30,000 which, the league considered

to be unnecessary expenditure ofcapital. -

Mr. Andrews eaid' he believed thatthe Transport Board waa honestly «a-deavouring to find a solution to thepeak-load congestion in Queen Streetwithout incurring any further capitalexpenditure on-the tramway system. Heunderstood that the officers of the boardWer,e going into the matter of utilisingthe present outlets to better advantage.These outlete were not being used to<the extent that they might be, and itwae felt by the league that by adoptingdifferent methods of routing, wherebyAnzac Avenue, Hobton Street and otheroutlete would carry more traffic, thecongestion of Queen Street from about4.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. would ceaae togive any trouble.

Mr. Andrews eaid he was pleased tonotice in yesterday's "Star" that Mr.Allum had stated definitely that in aboutthree or four weeks' time theboard wouldbe able to announce some definiteschemes for the relief of congestion.

BUILDING OF SCHOOLS.

jfOT BY P.W. DEPARTMENT.

STATEMENT BY MINISTER.

Though there was no mention of Itin the Atmore Report, it seemed likelythat the maintenance and the buildingof schools would be in the hands ofthe Public Works Department, insteadof, aa formerly, the various schoolboards, stated the Auckland EducationBoard in a letter to the AucklandChamber of Commerce. The letter wasread at a meeting of the council ofthe chamber yesterday.

The Minister of Education, the Hon.H. Atmore, wrote denying this state-ment. There was no intention of puttingthe building and the maintenance ofschools under the jurisdiction of thePublic Works Department. In its tourthrough the Dominion, the Recess.Committee had received voluminousevidence in favour of central control,the letter said further, and as a resultthe step towards centralisation was onein the right direction. The presentwasteful administration was not justi-fied. The money could be spent moreprofitably elsewhere."

: A former London "Evening Post" an-nounced that from Saturday, August 23,to Tuesday, August 26, 1735, a cricketmatch "wae played at Sevenoaks, inKent, between the Earl of Middlesex, theLord John Sackville, and nine othergentlemen of 'the County of Kent, andSir William Gage and ten other gentle-men of the County of Sussex." Kent andSurrey met in.each, of: the two followingyeara.

SCIENCE OF THE STARS.

WORK OF THE HERSCHELS

Under the auspices of the astronomicalsection of the Auckland Institute andMuseum, Professor H. W. Segar last even-ing delivered an address in the Universityscience building on "The Two Herschels,"Becoming famous through his discovery ofthe planet Uranue, Sir William Herechdlaccomplished an astonishing amount ofwork. He proved" the existence of 806double- stars, detected the proper motionof the stars, and estimated the 'brightnessof hundreds of stars. His work was thebeginning of the .science of the etars.Previous astronomers had discovered'the planete. It was a remarkable cir-cumstance, said the lecturer, that SirWilliam and his son, Sir John, bothreceived a knighthood as a reward ofachievement. The father's title did notpass to the son.

WATERVIEW RATEPAYERS.
