Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Iowa July s25.-The ex-
tension department Of Ames Col
lege has made plans for including
line of work In horticulture and
forestry. This work will be in charge
of Mr.. g. r. Bliss, who was grad
uated from the horticultural course at
the college last spring. Mr.. Bliss is
convincing speaker and hard
worker. lIe is in every way qualified
to spread the gospel Of improved horti-
culture.
The extension work in horticulture
will be varied and will include all
phases OF horticulture and forestry.
Iowa has long been backward in these
lines, and the need Of instruction and
Inspiration is keenly felt. During the
fall and winter horticultural topics
will be discussed at the various in
stitutes. Courses in horticulture will
be given at the local short courses.
The farmers will be taught the prin-
ciples of fruit and tree growing In
the northern part OF the state they
will be shown how cold storage makes
winter apples out OF fall varieties.
At the county experiment farms the
value of the new methods OF post
preservation by means of creosote will
be demonstrated. BY a practical OBJ
ject lesson in their own community
farmers will be shown how they can
grow their own posts in few years,
and by the use of the preventative
make them as lasting as any that
are on the market
The question of tree planting on
rural school grounds will also come in
for it's share of attention. In CO.
operation with the county superintend-
ents and teachers. object lessons will
be prepared showing that great inn
provement that a Little well directed
planting makes in the identifying of
school yard. This work will in time
be broadened to include farm homes
las we'll. There is scarcely a farm
stead in the state that might not be
improved in appearance by the ju-
dicious use Of trees and shrubs. 1t
will be a part of Mr.. Bliss work to
show how this may be brought about.

When the legislature transformed

sentence men serving for murder
should be kept at Fort Madison, the
state board OF parole found 1t de-
sirable to keep Haley at Anamosa for
time, because 1t had no one In the
penitentiary competent to take his
position as foreman of the printing
department. Haley was recently
transferred to the Fort Madison in

MOTHER, BABE IN
ARMS, KILLS LITTLE
GIRLS ASSAlANl
With Revolver, Woman Metes
Out Summary Justice to
Base Wretch.

New York, June with an infant
clutched to her breast, Mrs. Teresa
Felepia, of Brooklyn. today meted out
summary vengeance upon a man, who,
she declared, va surprised In the act
or attempting an outrage upon her g.
year-old daughter.
The man was John Marc, who has
made his home with the Felepia fam
lily since his arrival in this country
from Italy four months go.
Three bullets from the revolV yer which
Mrs. Felepia carried in her free hand
sent him to death.
The Conspiracy.
Mrs. Felepia told the police that
Marc, while living on the bounty of
herself and family, had c%onspired with
two other men to ruin their two daugh-
tiers, and through the shame of the
children to extort money from their
parents. The other men named by
Mrs. Felepia are Dominica Francesca,
65 years old, and his son. Gaetano, Fl
years old. Father and son now are
Under $1,000 bail each, the son as the
principal, the father as an accomplice,
on a charge preferred by Mrs. Felepia's
l~2-year-old daughter, Giovanni.
1t is alleged that Dominica induced
MS SON to assault Giovanni I'm the be-
lief that her father, who Is well to do,
would make a money settlement upon
Gaetano upon his agreement to marry
the girl.
Yesterday. the women said, her other
daughter, Amelia, aged 6, came to her
with a story that Marc had sought to
take improper liberties with her. He
made a complete denial when the
mother questioned him about the story
and Mrs. Felepia said she decided to
wait and watch.
Her time came today, when, she said,
Marc induced her child to accompany
him to a vacant lot near the Felepia
home. A few minutes afterwards Mrs.
Felepia with the baby In her arms and
the revolver concealed in the folds Of
her dress, stole saftly out to a point
which gave her a view of the lot. She
declared what she saw justified the act
which followed.
The police believe the conspiracy
against the Felepia family is the out
growth Of systematic Matchmaking OF
well to do Italians, carried on by the
BLACK Hand" and other associations
of criminals.

SAPP MURDER JURY
ADULTS WHITL0W

lola, Kan, June 3.-The jury in the
case Of Samuel Whitlow, charged with
the murder of May Sapp on September
81, 1907, brought in a verdict Of not
guilty. The jury was out t~hirty-six
hours. The first vote was 8 to 8 for &C.
quittal. The negro on the jury was
acquittal.
Miss May Sapp was the daughter Of
j.. N. Sapp, a wealthy and highly re-
spected farmer of Moran, Kan, and a
niece Of Col. William Sapp, the widely
known democratic politician. WhitloW
had been the schoolmaster at Moran,
and after Miss Sapp entered the little
school an affection sprang up between
the two. Even after Whitlow's mar
riage their relations continued. On the
night of September 81, 1907, Miss Sapp
left the home of her father at Moran,
saying that she was going for a walk.
A few minutes later her mother heard
a cry from the back yard Of the Sapp
residence and then the voice of her
daughter calling in a distressed tone:
ooh, mother! mother" ~
Rushing into the yard Mrs. Sapp
stumbled over the PROSTATE form of her
daughter. The girls throat had been
cut from ear to ear and she died within
a few minutes. d..
The state alleged that Whitlow be-
came tired of Miss Sapp, and making
an appointment with her, as had been
his custom, murdered her. Whitlow
set up the plea that he had met Miss
Sapp, bat that the girl had killed her
self. "
