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. OUST GHSTBO 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.

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.

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.” SUICIDE’S ESTATE AMOUNTED TO um JAMAICA, L.
