At 5:10, six i10\11‘S and 53 minutes after they had been given the case. the 12 filed slowly back to a thrill- bound courtroom. The accused was brought in, trudging across a ram- soaked yard from the Westniorland County Jail shackled to a constable of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

GUILTY OF MURDER.

"Have you a findinil 1° l3Y959“V-W , asked Chief Justice Barry.

‘ “Yes. Your Lordship." replied foreman W. K. Allen. _

"Then present it to the court.’ directed the Judge.

The foreman turned slightly- "Guilty of murder," was the three word verdict he returned to the clerk's question.

A recommendation for clemency was added to the verdict.

The veteran Chief Justice im- mediately sent for Arthur Bannister, younger brothe: of Daniel, convic- ted of Lake‘ urder at a previous trial.

The brothers. born two yen-rs apart, were sentenced to die almost together, “between one o'clock in the morning and noon on the twentieth day of June."

SENTENCED T0 JAIL

Mrs. Bannister was then sum- moned and sentenced. The law had gained i:et.rlbution for the slaying of the Pacific Junction squatter and the deaths of his common law wife and 20-months old infant, and the kidnapping of another baby on the night of January 5-

To Arthur Bannister the 77-year- old jurist saidz,

“Across the pages of our statute books there is written the stern edict that he, who without Justi- fication or excuse. kills his fellow man, shall himself suffer death. and on me has fallen the painful duty of this day pronouncing the sentence which the law demands. "I shall not harass your feelings or make more difficult for you this solemn hour by recounting the story of your crime.

Arthur was very quiet and still u the chief justice ended.

Daniel Bannister stood and heard his sentence. Both were taken back to the jail and Judge Barry order- od Mrs. Bannister to be bi-oulht before him.

After setting forth the qualifica- tions and duties of the eldershlp, the new elders were reminded of the unfading reward which is in store for every true and faithful office-bearer, viz; “ a. crown of 81011’ which fadeth not away."

The new elders were then ad- monished to be loyal and Qllligent in their God-given task, and to seek always, through prayer. the will and wisdom of God in inain- taining the spiiituai oversight of the congregation.

Those ordained to the eldership were, Messrs Albert Farquharson, Herbert Jewell, J. E. Ross Mac-

PAVEIJ ruins VALUABLE ASSET jg PROV.

Speaker At Rotary Congratulates Pro- vince For “Longest Paved Road In Mar- itimes.” ‘

“May I congratulate you on the fact that you have the longest con- tinuous approach of pavement in the Maritimes, and what is more. it is a good substantial pavement equal to the best of the asphaltie types so far laid, and from the re- sults this spring of sections laid down in 1934 and 1935 you may con- slder the economic life substantial and therefore within the demands of the construction bond issue to finance it," Mr. E. L. Miles told Ro- tarians yesterday speaking at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Club.

Mr. Miles, who u manager of the eastern division, Standard Paving Ltd, was speaking on road building. Under the heading “pavement ec- onomics", he said:

“Pavements from an economical standpoint do two important things,

1. They cut out heavy annual maintenance costs, which are lost.

2. They afford: a reduction in the cost covering the operation of the motor car.

“Financing construction over the period of its particular economic life, is termed sound finance in the busines world. Therefore when the cost of maintaining a. gravel road as a dustless easy riding road is equal to the equal annual payments of principal and interest on the in- vestment in pavements, then pave- ments are certainly cheaper. They are cheaper because they are an as- set at the end of the economic per- iod. whereas a gravel road has no appraised value excepting a. portion of the last year’s work. And they are cheaper because they are all- weather roads, and have a greater revenue producing value.

"The second reason why pave- ments are economical is because of the well known fact that, “any road carrying 1,000 vehicles per day. when paved with a twenty year ec- onomic pavemcnt, will save to the motorist, over the gravel road sys- tem. $5.000 per year.

"Supposing that we assume that 500 passenger cars and 100 trucks pass over a. mile of road in one day. The difference in the cost of opera- tion over a gravel road and over a paved road is recognized as 2c. for

Therefore the ssvlng is 817.00 961‘ dsy. rbrssoodsypcriqdtbe tot-ll ssving is 05.100. "Items in the nrsge bills such It washing. tire repairs. and many of the broken parts are in reality a “Bad Road Tax" sud easily amount to 3100 in the course of 9. season, for is car running 10,000’ miles. The writer has s. record which shows that in 1931 the "Flying stone" men- scs was equal to the Sc. Nova Scotia gas tsx imposed at that time."

Prince Edwsrd Island Road!

“The writer does not want to ss- siune the role of sdvisor, or even criticize the present Provincial Rood Policy, as the foregoing remarks are sufficient I think to convey the ides to you that this Province would be better of! with its primary roads paved.

"May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on the fact that you have the longest continuous stretch of pavement in the Marl- times, and what is more it is a good substantial pavement equal to the best of the asphaltic types so fsr lslcl, and from results this spring of sections laid in 1934 and 1035 you may consider the economic life aub-

‘ 1 and therefore within the demands of the construction bond issue to finance it.

“The increase in the revenue from the gasoline tax of 310.000. 1935 over 1934. is partly at least because of Charlottetown - Borden pavement, notwithstanding the fact that it was under construction during the entire

eration.

"Perhaps as a matter of interest it would not do any harm to con- sider a policy of "Hard surfacing" our primary road system of 250 miles. By the time that grading is done. bridges and culverts built, and drainage attended to, the cost would run to about $4,000,000 in round figures, including the cost of the Charlottetown - Borden pave- ment now completed. With the as- sistance of the Federal Government to the extent of 50% of the cost. the net cost to the Province would be

.000. “Assuming that the motor vehicle revenues could be used solely to pay off the annual cost of interest and sinking fund on capital expendi- tures as well as maintenance on the balance of the road system, and that construction could proceed at the rate of 50 miles per year, and that the economic life of the pave- ment ss laid is 15 years, and that money could be readily borrowed st 4%. then we could make up a state-

the passenger car and 7c. for the Euck. in favor of the paved road.

It was quite impossible to estab- lish international law by abetting breaches of international law. He poined out that since conciliation had been accepted by both parties. the Italian government had inten- sified its war of aggression.

The cabinet unanimously ap- proved Foreign Minister Flandin's triple plan of action to solve the cr1sls—

First: Ask the Locarno powers to seek action against Germany un- der the covenant of the League. which has a‘ready found the Reich guilty of treaty violation.

Second: Refuse to allow Germany to fortify the Rhineland.

Third: Flatly reject Hitler's peace plan and introduce another plan based on collective security. (Hit- ler proposed a series of I-lateral pacts.)

France at the same time will try to strengthen her military lineup by seeking the abolition of sanc- tcns against Italy.

Ffandln will begin his drive to have sanctions against Italy lifted when the League of Nations’ com- mittee of 13 meets Wednesday at Geneva to take up the question of

peace negotiations in the Halo- Eihlopian war. France. under the government

program, will propose the creation of what in effect would be an “in- temational army" to stand back of League decisions and see that they are enforced.

“In short this statement or table means simply this:

The revenues received from the motorist of Prince Edward Island and our visitors, are ample to pave 250 miles of the primary roads. when paid for on the equal annual installment plan of principal and interest. and pay in addition your maintenance bill on balance of the road system recorded as 3651 miles.

| The maintenance charges have been

running as follows:

1929-3163000

1930—$l45,000

1931-6340300.

1933—02'l0,05i5.

Not to forget that you are now rid of the maintainence bill on the Charlottetown-Borden section, and as you pave your primary system You Wipe out your largest uninten- ance costs.

“While sli of our governments are labouring wdsv under the burden of heavy expenditures, and are seeking new avenues for revenue, they would have is wonderful revenue producing asset in paved roads. and it is my firm belief that the paved road systems of Canada will play a large part in the ultimate reduction of the Provincial and National debts By the size of the programs proposed in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia this year it would seem that they too appreciated that fact."
