The speaker also referred to the fine

on the value Of all securities for the
clerks of any company might be equally
negligent with no dishonest motive, or,

that vicinity constitute a continued nuisance
and menace to health DR.. Porter has ordered
a public hearing at Fort Edward on July S.
Riparian owners below Fort Edward went be-

that their point will be gained If they can get

DENEEh DEMANDS
DIRECT PRIMARY
ILLINOIS GOVERNOR TELLS LEG.
ISLATURE TO ENACT LAW
WHICH WILL STAND.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct Ex-Governor
Deneen submitted to the adjourned
session of the legislature yesterday a
special message in which he recon-
mended the passage of deep water.
way legislation and new primary
election law He also called the at
tention of the members of the assem-,
bly, to several reforms which he ad-
vocated last spring, but which never
got beyond committees.
The governors message, which
was considered extraordinary, was
preceded by one from Lieutenant Gov
ernOr Sherman, rebuking the assem-
bly, for alleged ineficiency and double
dealing in connection with the pas.
sage of the primary law, which has
just been declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court. The lieuten-
ant governor charged that the meas
ure was passed with full knowledge
on the part of the Legislators of it's
weakness and imperfections. The
deep waterway proposition was dis
cussed at both the afternoon and
evening sessions.
The democratic members Of the
house have practically agreed to sup.
port a direct primary bill, although
no formal action was taken yester-
day. The senatorial caucus decided
to take up only the subjects included
in the governors message and per
nit no other new legislation.
