BiXiiK HAND
AMBUSHES
ITALIAN
N'KW YORK. —Pietro Barillo, a
well to do hotel man of Woodhaven,
L. 1., was dragged from his bicycle
at Lincoln road and Nostrand ave
nue. Flatbush, at l a.m., today and
stabbed to death by a band of men
who had lain in ambush for him in a
clump of bushes at the side of the
road.
The police have arrested Antonio
Bel Marto, his cousin, a saloon keep
er. in whose company at No. 525 Lin
coln road, he was.
The victim’s body was literally rid
dled with stab and bullet wounds.
From letters found on him it is
practically certain Barillo was the
victim of the Black Hand. The po
liece believe the same band that
l acked and hewed a man to pieces
shortly after Christmas and dumped
his dismembered body wrapped in oil
cloth near the scene of today’s crime
killed the hotel keeper.
It was evident, though, from a half
emptied magazine revolver of the au
tomatic type, that was found tightly
clutched fn the victim’s hand, that he
fought fer his life till the bullets and
knives of his assailants brought him
down.
There were two witnesses to Bar
idr'K slaying, Mildred Busch, a 15-
year-old girl of No, 322 Lincoln road,
and a man who happened to be pass
ing. It was apparent, though, after
the; had been briefly examined by
'he pclicc of the Flatbush station,
i hat whatever they mfty have seen
has been scared out of their heads
by horror of the assassination.
All they could tell was that they
'aw in the bright moonlight that
lighted the road a gang of men—seven
or eight at least—they say, ieap from
a dark clump" of bushes and fall on
Barillo like a pack of wolves.
They hoard Barillo’s terrified squeal
and then saw his revolver spit fire.
The arrest was a fusillade from the
bV-u< of assassins, and In the midst
of their knifes the hotel man sank
into the road bleeding from a dozen
wounds.

DIPLOMAT US
IIDEMIJTION
WASHINGTON. —Senor Don August
F. Pulido, for fifteen years a repre
sentative of the Venezuelan govern
ment In Washington, who was sud
denly reralled to Venezuela by Presi
dent Castro last, spring, is in New
York planning with a number of other
Venezuelans and some Americans, a
revolution in his country, which Is
expected to result in the downfall of
Castro.
It has been learned from an unques
tionable source that Pulido had been
seen in New York by a member of
the diplomatic corps, one of the at
taches of a Central American lega
tion. The fact that he with other
Venezuelans is planning the revolu
tion was also confirmed.
Whether Pulido plans to take an
armed force from America or merely
arms or merely money with which to
carry on the revolt against the Cas
tro government, are details that have
not yet been made clear.
Castro's treatment of the Amer
icans who have been interested in the
Bermudez Asphalt company and other
companies in Venezuela, leads read
ily to the belief that it will not be
difficult to raise a large sum for the
overthrow of Castro. Besides revenge,
certain interested parties would prob
ably be granted the right by the new
government to regain their interests
and again control the asphalt com
pany from which Castro ousted them.
Senor Pulido was, for many years,
one of the best known diplomats in
Washington, where he was a member
of the Metropolitan club and a gen
eral favorite in society.
The United States has oroken off
diplomatic relations with Venezuela
This being the case, it remains to be
seen whether this government will
take steps to prevent Pulido and his
friends from completing their plans
for the revolution In Venezuela.

SABCT IEEBBES
THRASHED 81
CITIZENS
LAKE CHARLES, La—Six impu
dent negroes were given a severe
thrashing by the citizens of Vinton
yesterday as a result of Insolence,
which was offered some, young white
women.
The negroes, who were tramps,
were caught near the premises of .1.
Vincent, a prominent farmer of this
place, who resides about one mile
west of town on the road to Edgerly.
They stopped at the Vincent farm,
and they learned that Mr. Vincent
was away, and that the only persons
on the place were Mr. Vincent’s
daughters, the blacks became very
Impudent to the young women, and
walked around the yard and about
the premises. The young ’adles in
stated that the negroes leave, which
they refused to do.
One of the girls had the presence
of mind to telephone to Vinton, and
in a few minutes the alarm was
spread and about forty determined
citizens, some of them with weapons,
rode out to the the Vincent farm.
The negroes evidently suspected lliat
an alarm had been given, for they
had left the place and were beating
a hasty retreat when the citizens
overtook them. The six were cap
tured and a messenger then sent to
Interview the young women, who said
that the blacks had been guilty of
nothing further than impudence and
intrusion upon the premises. For
that reason the negroes wore not
dealt with in a more severe man
ner.
THE AGRICULTURAL
SCHOOLSJO OPEN
Appropriations Make it
Possible for State School
and Eleventh District
Schools to Open in Sep
tember.
ATLANTA, Oa.—Every district ag
ricultural school in the slate, eleven
In number, and tho State Agricultural
college at Athens, will throw open
its doors in September to the boys
of tills state desirous of obtaining an
agricultural education. This has been
made possible now. after weeks of
doubt because the senate on the last
d* of Its session approved the ap
propriations called for In the house
bills, which will guarantee their sup
port and maintenance. The bill ap
propriates $75,000 for tho State Agri
cultural college at AthenH, and the
proceeds derived from the sale of fer
tilizer tax tags and pure food inspec
tion stamps by the department of ag
riculture goes to the eleven district
schools. The funds thus derived 1h to
be prorated among the eleven schools,
giving to each about $7,000 per an
num, sufficient to maintain them. By
this means one half million dollars
worth of educational property
throughout the state Is to be oper
ated and cared for.
Beginning In September the science
of cattle feeding and dairying will be
taken up at the eoilege and district
schools. The high price of meat, has
turned the attention of the fanners
to cattle raising, and it. has been
demonstrated that by feeding cotton
seed meal mixed with hulls, the
cheapest and most neutrltlous cattle
feed on the market, best results arc
obtained. In the same wav, It has
been proved that an increased flow of
milk is to be obtained from dairy rat
tle by using this feed.
During the spring months, soli tests
are to be conducted under the dime
tlon of Dr. Soule, the head of these
schools, and the wonderful results to
be obtained through the use of cotton
seed meal as a commercial fertilizer
will be demonstrated.

BRYAN’S CHANGE

NORTH CAROLINA EXECUTIVE
NOW BELEIVES THAT THE
DEMOCRATS WILL WIN
NOT TO GO TO CHICAGO
Nebraska, New York, Illi

sey and Kansas will
Line tip.
WASHINGTON. —Governor R. B.
Glenn, of North Carolina, who lias
been making Washington luh head
quarters for several days, while on a
lecture tour, said last night that the
report that ho was to go Chicago to
take charge of the preparation of the
democratic handbook, is erroneous;
(hat ,1 osi pirns Daniels, of North Caro
lina, will have charge of that work.
The governor is a member of tho
speakers' committee of the demo
cratic committee. "When I began to
think about the presidential election
I believed that the democrats had no
possible chance," said Governor
Glenn, "blit 1 have changed my mind
decidedly, and I believe that Bryan
Inis more than a fair chance of being
elected. I have been in Nebraska. In
diana. Illinois, New York, New Jersey,
and Kansas, and have talked with
democrats and republicans and I am
becoming more confident every day
that w r e shall have a tine chance to
carry all these -states.
"Prominent republicans of Nebraska
have told me that Bryan will carry
his home state. In Indiana the dem
ocrats have put forward the very hast
man they could select for governor,
and with Kern running for the vice
presidency, there Is more than an
even chance of capturing the Booster
state. Illinois, with the bitter fight
among the republicans, and the pres
ence of Mr. Stevenson on the ticket,
also is to be classed as doubtful. We
know about the complications In West
Virginia and Ohio, and In Now York
the trend of the public mind Is turn
ing more and more toward Bryan.
“Those politicians who arc talking
about North Carolina going repub
lican, arc talking nonsense,” added
Governor Glenn. "The state will give
a plurality of from 40,00 to 50,000
for the democratic state and national
ticket. I base this on past, elections.
My plurality was 40,000, while Gov
ernor Aycock hud about 50,000, and
with Mr. Kltchin, who is one of the
most popular and magnetic men in
tho stato, as the candidate thin year,
there is no reason to look for any
change.”

CHICAGO. President Gompers and
the executive council of tho Amer

first official pre-election political ap
peal to trades unionists of the coun

signed by every member of the ex

frain from mentioning Bryan's name.
it is plain, however, that the docu
ment Is Intended as an official In
dorsement of the democratic national
ticket, though, contrary to *Ho oxpeo
talions of labor men, tho indorsement
is equivocal.
The political Indorsement Is accom
panied by an appeal to trades union
ists throughout the country for funds
wllh wnlch to carry on labor’s cam
paign. Copies of the Indorsement
and the appeal for campaign funds
are being mailed from the federa
tion’s headquarters In Washington,

Respecting the two grent parties,
the statement, says: "The republican
party definitely lines up wllh the
corporate Interests of the country and
defies the people to help themselves.
'The democratic party Indorses la
bor’s demands and pledges Itself to
carry them into effect. If it Is put
Into power.
"We earnestly ask you to make the
choice which is In accordance with
the best interests of yourself and of
all the people. If the men of labor
