A Little Discussion on Hotels Mr.

Tyldesley Jones, K.C., yesterday oon-tinued, on behalf of the London and Provincial Omnibus' Owners' Association, hie address against tho bills promoted by the railway companies seeking road transport powers, which are being considered by a Joint Select Parliamentary Committee. The net rrvenue of the four railway companies, he Baid, amounted to over 42,500,000. There was a very Dig margin indeed of grow revenue over expenditure, and the power to -use part of that revenue as a reservoir for meeting lo33eB on 'bus services was an enormous power. It should be remembered that a considerable proportion of this revenue was a las on the industry of this country. Referring to railway hotels, he asked whether any other botels would be able to go on existing although paying only 1 per cent as they did I air nenry uautiey a memoer or the uom- mittee): Well, I bsve never heard of any station hotel which is particularly cheap.

Mr. Tyldesley Jones: I have never heard of any hotel that is cheap. Mr. H. P.

MacmiUan, K.C.t Try Glen- eazies. uaugnier.) Mr. Tyldesley Jones contended that if the railwav comoanies announced their inten sion of opening up hotels all over London, ana got tne powers to ao so, there would soon be an outcry from the other hotel managers. Earl Russell: Ten, because the running of hotels other than station estsblishmentu is not in any way part of the business. That is not analsenus to the running of 'buses.

Mr. Tyldesley Jones said that the very fact that there were safeguards in this bill showed that it was recognised that without them conditions might be unfair. In any case, it competition between the railways and road Iransoort companies on the road were fair, why have any safeguards at allt The result of such competition would inevitably he that the railwav companies would gain an absolute monopoly of transport in mis country. Tiia committee may think it desirable that the oontrol of all transport phoulrl be in one hand, bnt it seems to ne that in this caeo yon might as well go one further and have nationaliFitHon. A desire for that mititit be the justification for sunn a sten Ji3 wis.

He had Hstennd in vain for anv sucee. tion that his clients, desnite their so-called -monopoly" err tne charged mi- mil raies nr man tieniea me nnonc any proper facilities. Another iiinHfWti'nn nf iVm bills nut forward by the railway companies waa tne rtauwsvs Act of 1321. Yet Sir Josiah Stanw had said in evident that ttw economies of the Act stood in their JiearT." in that case surslv it was illogical to sav later, as he had done, that without the 1921 Act the railwav comnaniM wnnlrl nnf hav. harl so strone a.

case for the bills? Mr. Maomillm: Not at all. Parliament has passed an Act which is too rigid, and we are merely asking them to help us comply with thn Act's Tenuirements. Mr. Tvldesley Jones: Exactly.

You are asking Parliament to remedy one evil with another. Lord Darling: Not to remedy it, bnt to undo it. Mr. Tvldeslev Jones: If this particular Act were wiped off tbe Stntute-boofc there would De a cry or neart-teit Tenet not only trom traders but from the railway companies and the general Dublin as well. Lord Durline: That can be said of any statute.

(Laughter). The proreedirigH were adjourned until today after Mr. Tyldesley Jones had completed his two days' opening address. OPPOSITION TACTICS ON "TOTE" BILL. Committee Delay.

VTESTMrKSTSB, TtTESDIY. Opponents of the totalisator adopted a fresh line of obstruction to-day when they delayed the sitting of the House of Commons Committee on the Racecourse Betting Bill by remaining outside the oojnmittee room for twenty minutes, thus preventing the formation of a quorum. Supporters of the measure sent out distress messages to a neighbouring cenrmittee room and secured a quorum. As the business was about to begin the nine truant opponents of the bill, headed by Ifr. Bhys Da vies, entered the committee room.

Resuming the discussion of a drafting amendment moved at the last sitting by Sir Vivian Henderson (Under Secretary, Home Office), Major Hills (C Bipon) suggested that tbe measure was no longer a private member's bill, but had been taken over by the Government. Bat he found it difficult to believe that the Home Secretary, who had expressed his opinion of night clubs, was willing to be a participator in the matter of the totalisator. 3fr. Bhys Davie (Lab. Westhouehton) challenged the statement that the bill had passed its second reading by a free" vote ot tne uouse.

Sir Vivian Henderson: Ton cannot challenge the fact that the Government Whips were cot on. Mr. Davies: 3ot on officially. Were it cot for the Government influence behind' this measure there would be no quorum nere. "The mare I hear from the Government representatives," he added, the more I am convinced that the bill has been engineered by back-drxaiethods from the Treasury.

For this reason shall continue to oppose every line, every comma in the bill. Major Glvn fC Abirurdon). the mover of the bill, said that the Home Office and the Chancellor of the Ezcheqner did. not intervene until aner mo aouse naa given the bill a second The hill, would be a great help to agriculture and -would benefit the small farmer because the fund for hreeding would apply to every kind of horse ad -would -sot be confined to race- horsea. Mr.

Hayday (lab Nottinghsm W. was continuing the. debate when Sir Berkeley onemem unggj intervenen to move the closure. On a division eichteen mem bers supported the closure and thirteen opposed. The Chairman (Sir Edrnnnd- Turton) declared the motion lost, the necessary support of twenty vote not being forth Homing.

Did you ever see anything of the nature of morphine at Xuthurst! Nothing at all.

I saw no bottles at all except Mr. Eougier's medicine. The Coroner xepeated the last question, tout Miss Aldridge adhered to her reply. Replying to the foreman of the jury. Dr.

Mr. Hougier lived with them at Hassocks, nea Brighton, Broadbridge Heath, and Ixwer Knaphill. At Broadbridge Heath Mr. health became bad. especially his breathing.

She said she would like me to run down, which I did, so far as I can remember, during the late afternoon, and I caught a train back from Woking between 6 50 and seven in the evening." Mr. Lerwill, replying to the Coroner, said: I am perfectly certain that every cheque shown in court yesterday was signed by Mr. Kougier. The money he gave to me from time to time was to help me, anr he was only too pleased to do it. The Coroner You heard the evidence of Bur Bernard Spilsbury and Dr.

He did not pay any thing at all for the first month or two. He helped me in certain business arrange ments," said Mr. LerwilL He helped me long before he lived with me in the matter of a guarantee.

1 The Coroner adjourned the inquiry until to-day and bound Mr. -Lerwill over in the sum of 10 to attend and give evidence- DR. LOGAN AND THE MEDICAL COUNCIL. More usual -interest centred in the meeting of the General Medical Council in London yesterday by reason of the fact that Sr. Dorothy legan has to appear before the Council to explain why ahe made false declaration that she had swmn 'the Wngtlali Channel last October.

Dr. Logan's case, however, had not been reached when the Council adjourned until to-day. Logan had spent the afternoon in wsitingrocni near the council chamber. remote vilages, but it is expected that nest year a larger hall will have to be taken. Lady Penman, the president, speaking- of the support that the movement now receives not only from the Ministry of Health and the local authorities, but from the general public, said: "We get encouragement, and approval where twenty years ago we should have been told to stay at home and mind the baby.

The Institute members are spreading much useful knowledge throughout the country districts. They are studying questions which are of vital importance to all of us. A public opinion is growing up which will, I believe, in the long run do much to improve the conditions under which we live." Telephones Guarantees. Presenting the annual report she referred specially to the need of facilitating telephone communication in rural districts, and to the resolution on that point carried by last year's conference asking also for a reduction in the guarantee required before a rural exchange is established. A great many districts had approached the postal authorities, while others had combined with the parish councils or with individuals to install telephones, in spite of the high guarantee, but the only concession made by the Post Office was to allow telephones at railway stations to be used as public telephones.

Before a telephone can be installed the Post Office requires a guarantee of the whole amount required to make it pay, a sum varying from 12 to 30, according to the distance of the village from the exchange. If the guarantee were reduced it would help the villages to get telephones without any financial risk to the Post Office. The Telephone Money Bill was coming -up in the House of Commons presently, so now was the time for the institutes to make it clear that there was a very real demand for this concession. Lady Dcnman mentioned the hard case of the district village nurse, who, under present regulations, has the trade tariff to pay for her telephone, which is aus. more man private persons pay.

Lord Eustace Percy spoke to the women with honeyed words, telling them that the longer he held his present post the more convinced he became that probably the soundest views on education were held not by politicians or officials, but by the general mass of the people and by voluntary workers in education, such as the institutes. "We are engaged in the very big task of reconstructing our whole education system," he said. "Our main aims are that the child at the age of about eleven years shall no longer be regarded as a primary school child, but shall pass to a new stage in education suited to its years, and that these new courses of instruction shall lead the pupil on to the opportunities for further education after it leaves school, whether at a university, farm institute, or elsewhere. The Rund Child's Education. "There are two aspects of public- opinion in rural districts on this subject.

There is a section that wants to be sure that nothing in education shall interfere with village life as it exists at present, while the other section is eager to make sure that the rural child shall have an education and opportunities as good as those of the town child. If you want the children to have those opportunities you must he prepared for some way of concentrating the older children in rather larger schools. That is being done in some parts of the country, but such re organisation of village schools must be done with careful oons (deration of local conditions, and you must carry the parents with you. Too often when village schools are so reorganised, and the older children are sent to a neighbouring school, every pareit in the village from which they go signs a petition of protest: after a ear most of the lickiciiLa tua ciikueiy iwuuviieu 10 I Lie change." Lord Eustace suggested that the women's institutes could do1 a good work by persuading the narents of the need far thesa changes. The average Englishman dis trusted officials, but the women could educate nublio opinion.

If thev wanted to see housecraft training centres established, they must stimulate the parents to innke a much greater demand for them than at pre- oeni existed, ana tne parentB must tie willing to put up with some inconvenience to send their children to those schools. Lady Bovne. movine a vote nf fhnnlr rYi Iiord Eustace Percy, said that the women's insur.ur.es snouia mane everv effort to keep educational matters in the forefront.

i The Coroner airl that i The Coroner Baid that HYDE PARK THROUGH THE AGES- Famous Strollers. CHARITY PAGEANT FOR A LONDON HOSPITAL, (From oar London Staff.) Fleet Steeet, Tuesday. Lady' Birkenhead made a great success to-day of her matinee at Daly's Theatre in aid of the General Lying-in. Hospital at Westminster, such a success, indeed, that Lord Birkenhead, who made appeal for further help, must have wondered how the hospital justified its proud boast that this was the first time in its life of 163 years that it had asked the puhlic for funds. Obviously it will do it again, but it will not be easy to invent anything more amusing than the Hyde Park pageant that occupied the main part of an excellent programme.

It began with the year 1765, when the hospital was founded, and Dr. Leake, the founder, strutted on to the stage where the Park was indicated by a stretch of lawn flanked with trees and decorated with rhododendrons, with two of the original governors David Garrick, represented by Mr. Edward Knoblock, and the older Colman. In" the sixteen scenes that followed 200 performers, artists and well-known society folk, took part. Notabilities Meet Attain.

Before the curtain went up the audience was told whom it would see, but it seldom had time to recognise the various famous characters before the curtain went down again, for thoitsh they strolled about in leisurely fanhiou and chatted there were' bo many of them. The general idea was to group together the notabilities of a period who probably met each other in the Park. A delightful Fanny -Bumey, for instance, represnnted by Lady Queensberry, with Sir Francis Toye as Sir Joshua Re3-nold8, talked with Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Thrayle, but the actual incident of a duel between Sheridan and Mathews was staged with Lady Havens-dale as the beautiful Elizabeth Linley flutter ing about distractedly and finally putting an end to the combat, and Miss Loelia Ponsonby as the DuchC83 of Devonshire pre-sently appeared on the scene.

A few years later Mr. flex Evans, rjisguised as the Prince Regent, was with Miss Rosita Forbes as an elegant Mrs. Fitzherbert and cutting Mr. George Grossmith's Beau Brummell. who satisfied himself with the query to the Regent'B companion, Who is your Xat friend?" Eminent preBS photographers nresent mint havaa sighed at the sight of Mrs.

Siddons alighting from her Sedan chair. They also saw Lord Xelson, represented' by Keys, walking with Lady Lavery as a tall Lady Hu airs ur Laay Minto, represented by Lady George Oholmondeley. They saw a oheerful Lord uvTon, a temperamental Shelley, and a. Kent. rafhaT 1.

Sir Richard Gregory, speaking in the absence of Sir Alfred Mond, the president, said that the workers of this country should occasionally show in their deliberations that they realised the part which science played in opening up new fields of work without itself sharing the distribution of the wealth it created. "Probably," he said, "it. there were a complete levelling np of all income, wage earners would not benefit by mote than about 5 per cent Yet this ie a subject upon which attention has been mostly concentrated while the means of increasine the amount of wealth to divide by creating new industries or increasing the output of lnuiriuueu woncers are given 11 Hie I of them probably fatally..
