COMPUTATION FOR
MRS. NfOPOLITANO
Woman Who Murdered Hus-
band in Canada Will Not
Go to Death on Gallows
MUST GO TO PRISON
Great Influence Brought to Bear i'm
Her Behalf-Husband Forced
Her Act.

Ottawa, Canada, July 14.-Angelina
Neopolitano, the woman at Sault st.
Marie, Ontario, who killed her hus-
band when he tried to force her to
lead life of shame, has been saved
from the gallows by the action of
the cabinet in recommending execu-
tive clemency.
The murder, as first reported,
seemed most revolving. The woman
had killed her husband with an axe
and at least seven blows had been
given, anyone of which would have
been fatal. It came out at the trial
however, that the woman's husband
had endeavored to compel her to
make money for him by leading an
immoral life. The jury which found
her guilty of murder made a recon-
mendation for mercy in which the
trial Judge concurred.
Great interest was aroused in Mrs.
Neoplitano's favor by the fact that
she was to become a mother and in
no event could she have been execu
ted until the birth of the child Fully
one hundred thousand people have
petitioned the government in her be
half and communication in her be-
half was generally anticipated.
The government acted upon the
recommendation of Sir Allan Ayles-
worth, Minister of Justice, who is
said to have been influenced by the
woman's claims as to her motive in
committing the crime. In this con-
nection, however, he stated that Mrs.
Neopolitano had at one time given
her husband cause for jealousy and
the latter had slashed her badly with
A. knife. 1t was the theory of the
crown that the womap's killing of her
husband was the outgrowth of this
incident and that she desired to mar
ry the man who was the cause of her
husbands jealousy
The recommendation of council
will not be effective until communi-
Gated to and acted upon either By
the governor or the deputy governor,
both of whom are absent from the
Capitol. The communication of SEN
tence will be life Imprisonment,
which usually means twenty years
in the penitentiary.

Pine BLUFFIAN
DEAD At HELENA
b. n. Isaacs, Well Known Lumberman
Passes Away In Hospital After
Short Illness.

Helena, Ark, July 14.-B. n Isaacs
on of the most prominent lumber and
timber men in this part of the state,
died at the Helena hospital in this
city yesterday afternoon between
and o'clock following short ILL
ness. Deceased was resident of
Pine Bluff at the time of his death,
although he had lived in this city up
to four or five years ago, being we'll
and favorably remembered here.
His death was partly superinduced
from an old wound. Several years
ago he was in railway wreck and
had to have one of his legs severed
as result of that member being SCI
verely mashed, and it is thought that
this fact had great deal to do with
his death.
Deceased is survived by wife, all
SO one son and daughter. The fun
eral arrangements have not as yet
been completed, although it is more
than probable that the interment will
occur in this city.

Local Light Plant
WILL MEET DEMANDS
Business Has Increased So Rapidly
That More Electrical Current il
Made Necessary.

The Pine Bluff Corporation is plan
ming to install machinery at the
light and water plant on West Fourth

trio Company of Schenectady, N. Y,

Gals of the light company for several
days as has also r. l.. Crump, rep
resenting the Ford, Bacon & Davis
Company of New York, which INSTALL
ed the plant of the Corporation here
a few years ago The latter will re-
main here to direct the installation
of the new machinery.
The announcement of plans by the
Corporation is to the effect that
within the next fifteen days, 500 K.
w. turbine generator will be INSTALL
ed and that within the next ninety
day $50 X. w, turbine generator
will be placed. The present machin-
cry of the company for generating
electricity includes two 800 K w.
turbine generators which gives suffi-
Client current to light 10000 sixteen
candle-power lamps. 1t can be seen
by the addition of the new machinery
that the power of the plant will be
increased enough to light about 49,
900 sixteen candle-power lights.
1t Is stated In the announcement
that the 500 X. w. turbine will be
shipped at once from the General
Electric Company. The machine was
ordered by telegraph yesterday.
When the new plant Of the Pine
Bluff Corporation was built a few
days ago, 1t was the opinion of the
officials that it would accommodate the
business of Pine Bluff for the next
ten years to come. Since that time
however, business has so increased
that the Corporation was satisfied
that their growing business demand
ed greater facilities They will not
do the Job halfway but will increase
double in order to be safely prepared
to care for the growing business OF

Kennon, Anderson & Foster when
premiums we're awarded In their Burs
on the Fox contest. There were thous-
ands upon thousands of guesses sub

G. e. McKennon, H. B. Cochran, Jr.,
and H. o. Fulton. Miss Edna Peters
was the winner, her guess of 4.349
being the exact number of the burrs
She got the firt premium and Mrs. c.
A. Witt was the second with 4,344,
and j. t. Harper was close behind
with a guess Of 1910. The contest
attracted great interest and many anx-
iously awaited the announcement OF
the result. 1t Is safe to say that there
will be more people hereafter who will
have higher respect for the ability

closed Thursday night. It has been
a most successful sale. profitable both
