FATE OF LA PE

III HAHDSOF JURY Jury Retired This Afternoon After a Day of Arguments.

'Within a few hours Michael La Penna la to know which of four possible latea la In store for him, for the killing of hia cousin, Antonio La Penna at tb fence factory, November 7. The atate demands his life and will not be satisfied with any punishment less than Jlfe imprisonment. The defendant and hia counsel anticipate acquittal or, at the most, a finding of jtullty for manslaughter. The Jury which for the past three days has been listening to the evidence In the rase on Thursday heard lergthy arguments by the counsel for both the state and defense, retiring ubout 4 o'clock to make its deliberations as to the guilty or innocence of the defendant. To destroy whatever effects the defenso offered for I.a Penna which was very strong, may have had on the Jury, prosecuting attorney Charles Ladd In the opening argument in the case Thursday kept driving at the Jury the brutality of the crime, and the absolute Indifference and lack of remorse exhibited by the defendant. Death was the punishment demanded for La Penna In expiation for hia crime. The attorney gave a resume of the evidence, showing, according to his Judgment, that the preponderance of evidence favored the state and its charge of first degree murder. H. U. Johnson, counsel for the defense, in response to the attack of the prosecuting attorney delivered himself of ft characteristic argument Batrical to the extreme. It was Interesting and forcible. R. K. Sbivedey concluded the arguments, late thfs afternoon. After hearing the court' Instructions the Jury retired to Ita room. The general opinion among those who had heard the hreateat porton of the evidence seemed agreed that the death penalty will not be inflicted, and probably no life sentence will be imposed, but that La Penna will get off on a manslaughter verdict. ....

A SALE REPORTED "Jonathan W. Newman, acting as commissioner to sell real estate in the wxparte proceedings of David Hawkins and other has reported the sale of the Hawkins estate to tho Richmond Lake and Park company for $9,000, the deed lor the estate being' filed Thursday.

(Palladium Special) SPOKANE. Wash., Jan. 11. "An agricultural school or an experiment station should be established in the outskirts of every large city in the United States," declares K. J. Maclean, secretary of the Spokane chamber of commerce. He believes this would, in a measure, solve the cost of high living uttd would direct attention to the production of basic resources. Continuing he said: I do not agree with the president or the Washington Educational association when he says that more attention should be devoted in the .schools to commercial lines. I believe we Lliould first devote our attention to education In agricultural and mining. These are the pursuits from which all wealth emanates and on which all ether pursuits are dependent. Increase activity In these lines and you, perforce, must increase activity in commercial and all other lines. "If the Bchools teach agriculture, rgriculturo will become more popular. We will then have more farmers, and naturally more production and more valuable resources. "If 'I had my way about it there would be an agricutural school or an experiment station in the outskirts of every large city to educate young men in things pertafning to the farm. The difficulty now is that the city man who wants to learn something of agriculture must usually go a long distance away, entailing great expense. In the cities there are thousands of people who merely eke out an existence. How much better they would be If they were on farms. "The country boy who comes to the city for the first time is very green

with respect to city ways. But there is nothing greener than the city boy on a iarm for the first time. Our city people do not know enough about farming, i nd if they knew more -we would be able to solve, in a measure, the high living cost."
