The importance of having life-guards on 'buses that journey on different routes to and from the city was emphasised by the Cardiff Coroner (Dr. R.J. SMITH, J.P.) at the inquest on Monday on Thomas John DAVIES, a collier, of Birchgrove, Porth. DAVIES who fell under a 'bus  at Llandaff on Saturday night died soon afterwards of his injuries. A verdict of "Accidental death" was recorded. Evidence of identification was given by a nephew, R. William BASSETT, farmer, of Waterfall Farm, Llandaff, who said DAVIES was a married man with two children. He was standing outside the Maltster's Arms soon after ten o'clock on Saturday night, having previously been in for a drink. They were waiting for the Rhondda 'bus, and when it arrived DAVIES left witness's side and shouted "Hey!" to the driver. At the same time he caught hold of the handrail near the driver's seat and ran along with the 'bus. Witness could not say whether he attempted to get on the 'bus while it was in motion, but after running a few yards he fell alongside the 'bus, and witness saw the near hind wheel pass over his body. Police-constable TANNER, another eye-witness of the accident, stated that when DAVIES was running alongside the'bus he had a paper bag parcel in his left hand. The 'bus was only going at a moderate speed, and pulled up in reasonable time. "Had this 'bus had life-guards on I don't think the accident would have happened," added Police-constable TANNER. Replying to the Coroner, witness said the Cardiff Corporation 'buses had life-guards on them. In answer to the Coroner, Mr. Leonard DAVIES said his clients had received instructions from the Cardiff police to have life-guards fixed to the 'buses, and instructions to that effect had been given within the last fortnight. In fact, life-guards had already been put on nine of the 'buses. The Coroner, in returning a verdict as stated, expressed the hope that life-guards would be fixed on company's 'buses plying in the city area as quickly as possible. An undertaking to that effect was given. The annual association meetings of the Welsh Baptists are being held at Aberystwyth this week. Delegates were engaged in committee work throughout Monday, and this (Tuesday) morning the conference will be opened under the Presidency of Mrs. T. F. ROBERTS. On Monday afternoon the Mayor of Aberystwyth (Councillor Llewelyn SAMUEL), on behalf of the town and corporation extended to the delegates a hearty welcome. They were all glad for the honour the association had bestowed on a lady of Aberystwyth in electing her to the chair (Mrs. T.F. ROBERTS). So far as they knew, Mrs. ROBERTS was the first lady to be thus honoured in the Carmarthen and Cardiganshire Association meetings. The Mayor's chaplain (the Rev. Peter PRICE, M.A., D.D., pastor of the Welsh Congregational Chapel, Aberystwyth) also welcomed the delegates. The President (Mrs. T.F. ROBERTS) responded on behalf of the delegates, after which they were entertained to tea by the mayor. Mr. John O. JONES, son of the late Capt. JONES and of Mrs. JONES, of Carnowen, Llangranod, Cardiganshire, obtained his first mate's certificate at the Board of Trade, Cardiff, gaining full marks after only three weeks at school. To fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late chairman of the Coedffrane Parish Council (Mr. W.R. LLOYD) Mr. John REES, who was the sixteenth on the list in the last election, was co-opted.
