MAN OF THOUSAND
SECRETS.
MR. THOMAS JONES AND "FOUR PREMIERS.
In a book-lined room, overlook- ing the tree tops of Belsize Park, NW (writes a London correspond ent), I talked with the Mystery Man of Whitehall the man of a thousand secrets.
To the public his names-it is Mr. Thomas Jones-is unknown, ret, as Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet and Secretary of the Econo- mic Advisory Council, he has for the past 14 years wielded a tre- mendous power behind the scenes of Government.
As the guide, philosopher and friend of four successive Prime Ministers his has been the hidden hand behind scores of Cabinet de-
MAGISTRATE'S PROBLEM

GIRL THIEF IN CA.
CHARGE.
In spite of the grandmother's obstinacy in refusing to allow her grand-daughter" to go to the Salva- tion Army Home, Mr. Wayte-Smith at Kowloon Magistracy yesterday committed the girl to charge of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs."
Mr. John Barrow, of the S. C.A., produced * written application, brought under Ordinance No.. 11 of 1001 (Reformatory Schools), for the girl to be committed to the charge of the S.CA. for the purpose of ber being boarded out.

On each of the several occasione that she was approached, the grand. cisions. His influence, it is whis-mother had refused to give permis pered, put the Seven Hours Act on sion for the girl to be admitted to the Statute Book and went along the Home. His Worship yesterday way to secure the Irish Settlement, cancelled the six months sentence. And now that he is about to and registered a caution instead. retire upon reaching his 60th birth- dy, Mr. Jones wishes to pack all his secrets into his portfolio and
maintain his silence.
The Man of Mystery shuddered when he saw me, for he has never before been interviewed...
Then, looked "round to see that we were unobserved, he handed me a five-line typewritten statement
announcing in formal terms his forthcoming retirement,
But tell me something about Whitehall! I pleaded.
"Hush," he whispered. "I know everything but may say nothing.""
He besitated, and added: have been privileged to be the coc fident of Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Benar Law Mr. Baldwin and Mr. MacDonald, but my lips must be sealed for ever. Had I talked should have been sacked long ago silence alone has saved me.
This little grey-haired man with the kindly eyes who knows so much of the secret history of Downing. street, smiled when I asked whe. ther he would publish his reminis
cences.
I have already been approached by several publishers," he said, but money will not buy what is
not mine to sell
"I may write all I know but it will never see the light of day while I or any of the people concerned are alive. If I write anything it will be a footnote for history which I shall leave probably to 'the Museum of Wales.'
After taking a holiday in America, Mr. Jones wifi devote himself to his two hobbies-the fostering of adult education and the publication of beautiful books.
The grandfather of the girl, who had been sentenced to tire months imprisonment for receiving property stolen by his grand-daughter, was ia Court yesterday to give evidence regarding the girl's parents. agreed to the girl, being committed to the charge of the S.C.A., and suggested that she should be sent

to a school till she was 16 or 18 years of age. When the girl reach ed that age, she was to be returned to him.
Stubborn to the end, the grand- mother still withheld permission for her ward to be committed to the 8.0.A. or to be sent to the Salvation Army Home. She submitted that she was now an old woman and re- quired someone to serve her. The girl should go to prison for six monthe and on her discharge, she could return to the grandmother.
In over-ruling her objections, his Worship said that she was not thinking of the girl's best interests. He further warned her that if any relative of the girl was caught making any attempt to induce the girl to run away, or have the child in their company, they would each be liable to a fine of 3200, or two months hard labour."

The tragedy of Mr. Thomas Jones's life was two years ago when his brilliant 12-year-old son, Elphin Lloyd Jones, was killed in a street accident.
To the boy's memory Mr. Jones's many friends in Whitehall raised a memorial fund to enable struggling students whose education has been interrupted to continue their studies, and the first scholarships have been awarded last month.
ALSATAIN DOG ATTACKS YOUNG LAD.
POKFULAM YOUNGSTER BADLY BITTEN.
Master Jackie Odell, the son of Mr. Harry Odell, the local share broker was attacked by an Alsatian wolf bound while he was reading in the lawn of his parents' house situated on Lot 218, Pokfulam, on Tuesday evening
It was stated that the boy was reading a book, when, without the slightest warning, the dog, which belongs to EL neighbour, Mr. Mognaschi, sprang at him and hit him on the chest. He was imme- diately taken to a doctor who gave him precautionary treatment.
The dog has since been removed to Kennedy Town for observation.
