"It is to be fested that Mr. Bernard Shaw disagrees, with. Dean' Inge's tribute to the fathers and mothers of Queen Victoria's days," ways a special representative of the Evening Standard.

during the past week. and thought more of them than most parents do now."

But Mr. Shaw, speaking over the telephone from his country house, breezily denounced nineteenth-cen- tury civilisation, and expressed candid surprise at Dean Inge's opinions.

Parents-and Parents.

What is the use of talking about parents!" he demanded "There are all sorts of parents. One cannot generalise,

"A great many parents have been quite indifferent. to their children. The result." added Mr. Shaw, with relish, "has been satis factory.

"If Dean Inge really thinks that Victorian parents were preferable, as a whole, to the parents of the present day I am astonished.

"No conceivable ago can have been worse than the nineteenth century."

Inspector F. Bristow said that the previous day, he visited Roche at his hone, accompanied by Do- Lective Inspector Woodward. Recha said, "I do not wish to say any- thing." and Williams replied, "It is absolutely untrue. Whoever has made that charge has made a falso statement. «I know Coggan, but no money has ever passed." At the police station he said, "I wish to deny the charge as being absolutely untrue." On" this evidence Mr. Milliams applied for a "remand.

"Thrrree minutes," it said.

And yet," continued Mr. Shaw, anpertubed, "the people of the nineteenth century appeared to con- sider themselves the crown and summit of civilisation..

"Perhaps Dean Inge was think- ing of his own parents. In my opinion they brought him up very badly."

How the Dean Won Through. "One moment, Mr. Shaw, 1 interposed breathlessly. "Did I understand you to say that Dean Inge's parents brought him up' very badly!"

With genial emphasis he replied: "Of course. It is perfectly evi- dent. Consider his academic quali- fications. Did he not receive thorough public school training?

ས་

To my mind, it is by reason of his own extraordinary qualities that Dean Inge has succeeded in breaking-through the barrier im posed upon him by such an up- bringing."

Chuckling. Mr. Shaw rang off. Two Dossiers,

Mr. Williams said that the Chief Constable was in court.

Many More Charges. Captain P. J. Sillitoc, the Chief Constable, said that the men were two out of nine involved in similar charges. Informations-be- "fore the court were only a few of a number of similar matters, and there would be scores of similar in- formations in connection with these offences involving many different incidents.

Mr. Williams: Your inquiries ure still being pursued in connec tion with this matter, and you feel those inquiries may be prejudiced. if the men are allowed out on bail, and you do not wish to give your specific reasons!

Captain Sillitoc: Yes.

Mr. Siddons asked the Chief Con stable whether there was any con- nection between Roche and Wil- liams and any other persons charg ed, and he replied that there was the same type of charge, but the were not individually. con- cases nected one with the other.

Mr. Williams said, there were other charges relating to different

The academic barrier, if barrier it he is a formidable one indeed.
