A few minutes later he sank to his seat sobbing an don the verge of collapse after Mr. Justice Logie had sentenced him to be hanged on August 1, Two constables raised him to 'his feet and helped him from the courtroom to the cells. The end. of Barclay's three days' trial for the gnurder of Mrs. Hudson, who was found with ner throat cut in his Breadalbane street room on New Year's eve, came at b o'clock in the afternoon. The jury returned after a retire- ment of exactly an hour and quar- ter. They were complimented by Mr. Justice.. Logie for haviug brought in a proper verdict. "I do not see how any other verdict could have been achieved," his lordship told them. 'You are a link in the chain by which crim- inal justice, is carried on, and so am I. If there is to be any clem- ency for this man, it rests with the crown. But there is only one seu- tence which I may pronounce." Barclay sat swaying, breathing in gasps and shaking his head, un- til his lordship directed him to stand. "Have you anything to say?' the judge asked. "All I've got to say is that I told the truth, and nothing but the truth," said the convicted man. "You have, I think, committed a cruel and vicious murder and the jury 'has found you guilty," Mr, Justice Logie prefaced his sen- tence. Barclay stood, his face working=and; the dock 'rail, as the sentence pro. ceded, Before the judge had pronounc- ed the words, 'May God have mer- cy on your soul," the prisoner had fallen back to the seat weeping. THIRTEEN OGEAN FLIGHTS PLANNED Atlantic Again Holds Centre of Attention For Flying Enthusiasts Washington, May 30.--Thirteen trans-oceanic flights, scheduled to be carried out during the next five months, promise to provide avia- tion enthusiasts the most spectac- ular fight season in history. The Atlantic, already conquered by more than a dozen fliers, again holds the centre of attention with 11 of the 13 trans-oceanic flights planned to span its broad ex- panse. Parker Cramer who, with Bert Hassell, ended a 1928 flight at- tempt in Greenland, is laying plans lor another Stockholm flight by way of Greenland and Iceland for late summer. Three Frenchmen, Rene Le- Fevre, M. A. Lotti, and Jean As- solant, are in New York com- pleting their plans for a trans-At- lantic flight in June which may tarry them over Paris with Mos- tow as their goal. Capt. Hermann Koehl and Col. James Fitzmaurice who, with the late Baron von Huenfeld, made an east-west hop across the Atlantic last year, are preparing to make a flight from Berlin to New York this summer by way of Lisbon, Portugal, and the - Azores, using other planes to refuel them in flight. Miss Dagnya Berger, fair-haired Norwegian aviatrix, plans a flight from New York to her homeland across the Atlantic this summer, while Capt. A.

Robb's new bill increasing the taxation on the transfer of shares is meeting with strong opposition in the senate, and 'it is believed that the government would not be disappointed if it was defeated. In the House of 'Commons the Con- servative members fought against this bill as unfair and discrimina- tory against lower-priced stocks, and Hon, R. B. Bennett strongly urged there be no change in this form of taxation at the .present session. The bill in the senate includes not only the stock transfer tax proposals but also a clause abolish- ing nuisance taxes on railway tic- kets, When Rt. Hon. George P. Graham introduced the bill into the senate, he pointed out that it had these two clauses. The clause transfer tax, he said, had been much ({scussed and opinion was quite varied. Some maintained it woull stop specula- tion and others that it would not. Some said that it was unfair to "penny stocks." His speech could be interpreted that the government was indifferent to the fate of the transfer tax. A new procedure was adopted in dealing with this bill. It was re- ferred to the committee on banking and commerce. This has never been done befote with a govern- ment measure, either financial or on taxation. The report is that in the banking and commerce com- mittee this clause will be deleted and the bill reported back dealing only with the abolition of the nuisance taxes. COWLEY FATHERS WIN APPROVAL None of Clergy Opposed The amendment--40 Sup- ported It Sault Ste. Marie, May 30.--The ninth triennial synod of the diocese of Algoma yesterday placed tne stamp of approval on the Cowley fathers, the celibate order who have mastablished a retreat at Brace- bridge. Mr. Thompson presented his resolution asking the synod to express disapproval of the Cowiey fathers and Rev, Canon C. C. Simp- son, of Coniston, offered an amend- ment welcoming the order te tne diocese, the amendment being car- ried by a vote of 60 to 12, Amuug the clergy 40 supported the amend- ment and there were none opposed, while among the lay delegates 20 supported the amendment and 12 voted against it. The wording of the amendment was: That the synod desires to wel- come the Cowley fathers into the diocese and to thank the lord bish- op for licensing them to work among us, ' It prays that God's blessing may rest abundantly upon their selfdenying labors. Following the vote Father Palm- er of the Cowley fathers, extended an invitation to those who had op- posed them to visit their retreat at Bracebridge. Bishop Rocksborough Smith turned to the opposing dele- gates and said: "Are you going to sit there in nasty isolation or are you going to acknowledge the ine vitation?" , Immedfately Mr. Thompson sprang to his feet and acknowleag- ed it. In seconding Mr. Thompson's re- solution, Mr. E, W. Shell of the Soo deprecated the fact that last year when a motion bringing the matter of the appointment of Cowley fath- ers to parishes was brought to the executive committee of the synou, it was ruled out of order, .

The arrest of the men was achieved only after a throng of citizens had followed them and had chased Small, it is claimed, intoathe Albany club. According to the story told by Keegan, the two men entered the premises of the Michigan Fruit company, 52 Church street, yester- day afternoon and became disor- derly. They were under the influ- ence of liquor, he claims and when accused by Joe Farbstein, 257 Pal- merston houlevard, another part- ner in the firm, with spoiling the fruit they refused to leave the building. Small tried to strike Keegan, the latter claims and Farbstein knocked him out. As a result the two men left the offices after Small had recovered from the ef- fects of the blow and Farbstein went to deliver some fruit in a truck. 'While Farbstein. was absent, Keegan claims, the two men re- turned. He had taken out the firm's books and wag counting the cash preparatory to closing up the business for the night when they entered and started a fight. When the men left the place Small followed them but he was too stunned, he states, at the time to notice that the money, $542, was missing. Detectives Kosher and Nicholls arrived from detec tive headquarters and during the search for the men, Keegan no- ticed that the money was gone. to that office. Rt. Hon.

Young. These annuities average 2,050,000,- 000 gold marks (about $492,000,000) for 37 years; 1,700,000000 marks ($08,000,000) for 21 years and 900,000,- 000 marks ($216,000,000) for the fin- al year, Under the agreement as concluded, these annuities will run from Septem- ber. next, instead of from April 1 last as originally . calculated. Dawes plan of payments will mean- while continue in force. The situation was explained last night by Thomas W. Lamont, United States alternative representative, as follows: "Both creditor and German experts have heretofore declared themselves willing to accept the annuity figures of 2,050,000,000 marks as suggested by the chairman, although a difference existed on the question of interpre- tation, No One's Victory "This difference has now been re- moved and a common basis for in- terpretation acceptable to both the creditors and to Germany has been found, subject, however, to agree- ment-on the outstanding conditions which still remain for discussion and settlement." It was further explained this agree- ment was no one's victory, for both Germans and creditors gave way to make it possible. The general opinion of the experts was that a most important step had been taken toward final elimination of reparations from the thorny after- maths of the great war. There was no disposition to cry victory because Lthere. remained a number of knotty points among the German conditions and Allied reservations, any one of which if not satisfactorily disposed of might make final agreement im- possibel. The experts will grapple with these problems today, The nrobability was that the Allies would meet %in the morning and advise the Germans of the results in the afternoon. Dr. Hjal- mar Schacht, head of the German de- legation, who has been restigg ut Versailles, will probably be on" hand for this closing phase of the confer- ence. THUGS BEAT UP STOREKEEPER Bandit Spent Entire Day Seeking Chance to Loot . Shops ' Toronto, May 30.--Slipping froma clothing store at 101 Queen street west shortly after 6 o'clock last night a young thug slugged the proprietor four times on the head with a paper- covered lead pipe, fought desperately with the injured merchant and then fled, routed in an attempt to rob the cash register.

The blood- stained length of pipe, covered with brown paper, was found in the store when help arrived. Search failed to reveal a brown leather-covered box which the would-be bandit was carry- ing. . The attempt at robbery was made on the man's third visit to the store, other apparent attempts there, as well as in a store across the street, hav- ng failed when customers entered. obins, bleeding profusely, grappled with his assailant +nd kept him from reaching the cash register, finally for- cing him to-fight.

To= day the nation goes to the polls ta elect the seventh Parliament of King George V. Transactions were heavy and cone sequently wide fluctuations in prices were registered in the stock exchange market for "election majorities" yes terday, The Conservative "stock" clo« sed two points higher at 270-74 after fluctuating as low as 263, while La- bor finished three points down af 244-48, after reaching 253. The Libw erals were two points lower on thg day at 96-100, These figures indicate the seats the parties are expected to capture, the stock exchange thus figuring that the Conservatives will have the largest representation but will fall short of a clear majority in the next parliae ment, / Experiments Disastrous " "Rash Labor experiments would b disastrous to the present revival o trade and would retard improvement in the social condition of the people, asserted Premier Stanley Baldwin in a final Conservative appeal from Downing street. "The Conservative and Unionist party alone is in a pOsi« tion to guarantee a period of stabil« ity and ordered progress. I ask the electors to give our party a clear ma- jority to enable us to persevere in the task of building up the health of industry and the nation on perman« ent foundations," Labor Appeal Rt. Hon. Ramsay Macdonald ap- pealed to the country "To give the abor party the same opportunity that the other two parties have had time and time again." He declared: "Both the other parties have proved incapable of dealing adequately with social evils, Labor alone can bring the country through its present diffie culties and establish good conditions for. workers of. every class." -And at the last moment also he strongly de- nounced Communism and made - it clear that Communism had' no part in the Labor policy. Final Liberal Message Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George's fic nal message was: "The nation is weary of Tory recklessness and a- fraid of Labor extravagance, Remem- ber that nothing will hinder you from having a Liberal Government if you are resolved to get it and 'cast your votes for the Liberal candidates." The Labor and Liberal leaders clo« sed their campaigns in their own cone stituencies--Seaham, Durham and Carnavon, Wales, but Premier Bald- win spent the last day in a whirlwind speaking tour of the industrial area in.
