With no show of emotion. the young woman stood silently before Judge Cushman. She did not open her mouth when asked if she had anything to say.
Throughout the trial, she main-
iained that the fugitive William Dalnard-more commonly known by his alias, William Mahan-was the “brains” oi' the plot. She said he planned the kidnapping of the boy, held eight days and released June 1 for $200,000 ransom.
The defence contention was that
Mrs. Waley was forced into the plot because her Mormon religion requires complete subjugation of a wife to her husband.
Mrs, Waley was responsible for
the capture of herself and her husband a week after their vic- tim‘s release. She was caught pass- ing a $5 ransom bill in a Salt Lake City five-and-ten cent store.

British Fleet In Sham Battle
(C. P.-Havas) (By Guan-dian’s Special Wire) PORTSMOUTH, England, July
17-A sea fight of the future was vividly portrayed today as the combined British fleet fought a sham battle before the watchful eyes of King George, Admiral of the Fleet, off Bpithead. ' ,
A direct hit by the anti-aircraft
battery 'of the super-battleship Rodney brought down one of the radio-controlled “Queen Bee" Ro- bot planes, ihe secret of whose operation is one of the British navy's most jealously-guarded mys- teries. Another “crashed” shortly after taking off.
The heavy and light cruisers in
turn showed their marksrnauship when they made 56 direct hits out of 330 rounds fired at the obsolete battleship Vindicative, now a radio-controlled target vessel.
Practice firing of the battleship'a
15-inch guns at towed targets was described as excellent.
Supporters of the theory planes
can cope with battleships gained consolation from the fact the "Queen Bee" actually weathered a hail of shells to pass over the Rod- ney before it received the destruct- ive shell.

Death Of George William Russell
(A. P. By Gusrdlan's Special WIN)
BOURNEMOUTH, England, Juli'
1'1--George William Russell, Irish journalist, writer and painter known to poetry lovers by the cry- ptic pen name "AE," died tonight. He was 68 years old. .
Born at Lurgan, County Armagh,
Ireland, in 1867, Russel was educa- cated at Rathmines school, Dublin. He entered an accounta.nt’s office but soon grew interested in_ agri- cultural Cooperative Associations and in 1897 joined the Irish Agricul- tural Organization Society.
Thenoefcrth journalism, litera-
ture, painting and agricultural or- ganization divided his attention. He edited the Irish Homestead, Farm Journal, from 1904 to 1923. becoming editor of the Irish Statesman in 'that year. Critics have called the latter review the most skillfully edited in all Ireland.
His published works. beBinninK
with "Homeward: Songs by the Way” in 1894, extend over the en- suing ears to his volume of poems. “House of the Titans, and other poems,” appearing in November, 1934. _
His pennams, puzzling to readers.
is explained by Darbell Flggls, an- other lrlsh writer, in his book on Russell, thus:
“Wanting at one time a new pell-
name, he subscribed himself as Aeon, the printer deciphered the first dlththong and set ia. query for the rest, whereupon the writer, in his prcofsheets, stroked out the quenv and stood by the diththong."
Althiugh primarily noted as a
poet, he was an energetic jack of many trades-a painter, business- man, organizer, editor and co- founder of the famous Abbey Theatre in Dublin.
Paradoxically he was a lyrical ad-
vocate of the virtues of idieness and
I
caused amusement when he de- scribed I..ongfeliow's line, “Let us be up and doing," in the American bai-d's “Psalm of Life," as "one of the m:st terrible lines in all poetry."
"Congress ought to cali in all
copies of I_ongfellow's poem and ex- tract that terrible line," he said. “It should then pass a statute in favor or idleness.
He made a lecture in Canada
aT>`cu‘i! eight years ago.
In 1932 he told American audien-
ces the United States depression was caused by a too literal fcllowlng of I.ongfel1ow's advice.
Already ailing when he returned
from the United States a few months ago, he suffered it setback in London during the first heat waves of summer. At that time he told a friend, “I feel cramped in London. I need the sea and moun- tains and wide views of the sky.”
Russell was in thLs late twenties
when in 1894 he published his first bogk of noems, "Homeward: Songs bv the Wav." 'The Yeats "Celtic Twilight" cult had just acheived world prominence and Russell, with his spiritual mysticism, was im- mediately taken to the hearts of poetry lovers.
His last book. "House of the Ti-
tans. and other poems," appeared in 1934.

$75000 IS RECEIVED ON ACCOUNT UNDER THE WHITE AWARD
'Another $75,000 Payment Due This Year _
A cheque for $75,000 has been received from Ottawa by
the MacMillan Government as payment on account under the award of the White Commission,
This represents ONE-HALF of the amount which the
Province will receive this year under the award, which resulted in the placing of $3,000,000 to our credit at Ottawa, through representations made in co-operation with' the other Maritime Provinces by the MacMillan Government. The annual subsidy payment for all time, from this capital fund, will be $150,000-the largest subsidy increase since Confederation. , Coupled with the increases received under the Mathieson and Stewart Governments of $100,000 and $125.- 000 respectively, this represents A CAPITAL AMOUNT CF $7,500,000, OR AN ANNUAL SUBSIDY INCRI°]AS_E 0F $3,750,000, obtained by Conservatives after Laurier, in 1907, had “bolted the door” against further claims settle- ment. » A MILLION ADDITIONAL REVENUE
But the White Commission award by no means repre-
sents all that the MacMillan Government achieved in the matter obtaining Dominion revenue. Here are additional amounts, obtained during their term of office from tb'
Bennett Government :
Direct relief (City) Direct relief (Provincial) . .. . . . . . _ . . . Unemployment Projects . . . .. _ . . . . . .. . Salvage: Falconwood and P, W. College Old Age Pension . . . . .

' I $ 945,077
These amounts are the concrete result of “Tori
picnic trips” to Ottawa which Liberal _apologists coiitdigixl because of the few hundred dollars paid in transpor a
and hotel accommodation i
In addition, the Government obtained from_ the Carne-
gie Foundation over $100,000 for demonstration li_braYY purposes for the benefit of every r_ural community in the Province. Also $88,000 for establishment of a chair of Economics and Sociology at Prince of Wales College- _
