RUSSELL SCOTT PRONOUNCED INSANE Jury Reaches Decision After Deliberation Lasting Nearly Four Hours. A despatch from Chicago says:-- Russell Scott has won his last fight to escape the gallows. A~jury in the Court of Superior Judge Joseph B. David found him insane. The jury reached its verdict after deliberating three hours and forty minutes. Its first ballot was reported to have been.¥ to 6 for insanity and thereafter the vote gradually swung to the insanity verdict. Scott imme- diately was committed to the Chester Asylum for the Insane. The jury took seven ballots. Scott sat tensely in his chair. while the jury filed into the box. He turned eagerly .to the -foreman, when .he an- nounced to the court that a verdict was ready, and as the Bailiff passed the verdict to the Clerk, Scott's eyes followed the slip of paper that might mean life or death. When the verdict was read Scott's mouth~ twitched nervously and his shifted his position in the chair. He sat motionless at the side of his at- torneys while the court entered the judgment on the verdict, and then was hurried out of the room as the Balliff adjourned the session. Mrs. Catherine Scott, the young wife of the prisoner, leaned forward in an attitude of prayer after the verdict was read. Scott's' mother, at his side, wept and embraced Scott's wife, while Thomas Scott, his aged and crippled father, received the ver- dict without show of emotion. Scott, while going to the asylum as insane, still faces death on the gallows should he ever be found to have re gained his sanity, Scott, convicted of the murder of from death three weeks ago, six hours before he was to have been hanged, by a week's reprieve from Gov.

In the previous twelve months 20,171 were brought in at a cost of $19.81. The value of cash and effects entered for importation from the Un- ited States to Canada in the fiscal year efided March 31 was $910,875, as compared with $4,100,490 in the pre- vious year, In the last fiscal year there were | 863 carloads of settlers' effects from the United States, as compared with 168 in the previous year. The total number of Canadians returning from the United States in the last fiscal year was 48,776: ------ ni in Prince Plants Olive Tree A despatch from St. Helena says: -- The Prince of Wales paid a touching tribiite to the memory of Napoleon during his visit. here. At Long Wood, he planted an olive tree near the place wheré the body of the one-time ruler of Europe rested before it was taken to Paris : Nothing remains to identify the former tomb itself except a plain white slab of stone bearing no inserip- tion. A brass plate nailed on a near- by cypress tree, placed there by the La Forte Expedition in 1880, says simply: "To the memory of the Emperor." The Prince planted his tree three feet from. the stone slab, opposite a weeping willow sent from France by Marshal Foch. . ER -- Germans Dread a Draft and : Prefer to Endure Heat Probably in no other country in the world are people more afraid of a draft than in Germany. This fear led to grotesque absurdities during the present summer, the hottest experienc ed in Germany in years. For fear that there may be a draft, all the win- in Memory of Napoleon | u The provision of the ngcessary sup- ply of ties is one of the problems with ,| which the railways have to deal, and lit ig a very se 'Rigid specl- 8, | ications are proviied, and a careful inspection is necessary. When the millions of ties used annually is con- sidered, and that each tie has its pro- portion of the load to carry, the neec- essity for this inspection is apparent. In 1928, the last year for which figures are available, there were 14,~ 764,880 railway ties cut in Canada. These, converted into their equivalent of standing timber, represent 177,177, 960 cubic feet, with a value of $13,- 228,547. Railway ties vary in length from 8 to 9 feet, with a thickness of from 6 to 7 inches and a width on top of from 7 to 10 inches, while they vary in-gtade actording to the purpose for which they are to be used. Some of the ties are sewed -or-hewed on top, bottom and sides, while others are sawed or hewed on top and bottom only. During recent years the Canadian railways have undertaken 'preserva- tive treatment of their ties, creosote being largely used. There are a num- ber of plants situated throughout Canada for this purpose, many mil lions being thus treated annually, It Lis .clalmed that the life of the ties is doubled by this preservative treat- ment. This is a big factor In the cost of upkeep of the railway lines, as the prices now being paid for ties are a heavy charge against operation, The lengthening of the life of the tles, furthermo reduces the cost of changing them in' the roadbed, and will also reduce the supply of old ties available for firewood. ---- a------ Prince to be Elhorately Enter- tained During Visit to Chile A despatch from Santiago, Chile, says:--Preparations are under way here for an elaborate program of en- tertainment for the Prince of Wales during his brief visit to Chile in September. Arriving in Santiago from the Argentine frontier the royal visitor will find the city 'virtually en fete and with British and Chilean emblems on display everywhere, Some "of the streets will be specially illuminated for the occasion. n to review the Chilean fleet at Valparaiso, the military here and also the Chilean Boy Scout organizations. There will be a gala day at the races for the "Prince of Wales" trophy. The British heir will have an op- portunity to play a game or two of polo In Valparaiso and later will wit- ness a display 'of Chilean "horseman- ship at a native rodeo. Another fea- ture of his visit, according to present plans, will be the presentation of a collection of Aucanian jewels of pre- colonial days. Two grand balls will be given in his honor, one by the government and an- other by the British residents in the republic. On the night of the Prince's arrival 115 huge bonfires, represent- ing as-many years of Chilean national life, will burn along the foothills of the Andes within easy visibiltty of Santiago. -------- Great Britain Lost Many Prominent Architects in War A despatch from London says: -- An- anticipated shortage of architects in Great Britain is causing anxiety among the leaders ef the profession, who fear that English architecture will lose such Individuality as it now dows on one side of street cars mugt | be left closed, while on the other side' only 'the. last two Windows are kept ¢o opeit."
