Hudson Eighty.Five Years.


Hudson Eighty.Five Years.
New York. Oct. 7.-Contending that
in the discovery of the Hudson river
as In the case of the North Pole. there
is "honor for two." thousands Of
Italians. smothered in flags, bunting
and gay uniforms. paraded down
Broadway to the battery this after
noon when they unveiled q statute Of
Giovanni de Verrazano, whom historic
ans describe as the first trans Atlantic
voyager to arrive in New York harbor.
With no intention to belittle the
achievements of Henry Hudson.
Italians maintain that Verrazano dis-
covered the Hudson river in 1924. or
eighty-five years before the Half
Moons arrival. But the Florenttne
navigator, evidently regarding the
stream an ordinary one, left no de-
tailed report Of his exploration of the
river. On this account he, has re-
ceived but little recognition in the
new world for his achievement.
At the unveiling Of the monument.
addresses were delivered by the chair
man of the monument COMMITTEES.
Charles Barsotti. editor of Prosresso.
an Italian newspaper in New York.
by Rear Admiral Marquis di Brochetti.
representing. King Victor Emmanuel
of Italy, and by leaders of the Italian
colony of the city. The monument
was erected by public subscription
taken up among the Italians here.

!: POLITICAL POT
Several Cooks Are DESTROYS of
Stirring the Brew-sever-
al Fights on

Springfield. ILL.,, Oct. 7.-Republi-
canism in Illinois is facing a crisis.
Shall Governor Deneen and his fol-
lowers survive or is Senator Lorimer
and his forces to rule? Political sages
who began to flock to the state fair
roundup. here today, are asking this
question. No oneis attempting to dis
guise the fact that there is feeling
of unrest stretching from Galena on
the north to Cairo on the south. Sue-
gestions Of harmony are met with
ridicule and old-timers predict a SUI
preme battle among Illinois Republi-
can leaders, beginning with the ad-
vent of the special session of the state
legislature Governor Deneen is to call
to meet in November.
Governor Deneen has let It be
known that. he is. ready for. the con-
test. The men who play politics with
cent date served notice upon the state
executive that they are ready to fight
to the last. ditch any program he may
present at the, special session for pri-
mary reform. Leaders who have
watched developments since Lorimer
was elected senator do not see any
evidence Of q get-together policy. on
the part of Deneen and Lorimer ad-
herents.
Governor Publicly Insulted.
Governor Deneen was publicly in

guilty to numbering his father, An
drew Krupnicke, IA years old, took q
life sentence In the penitentiary and
thus perhaps saved from the gallows
his mother who was first charged with
the commission of the crime.
Anton Krupnicke was a wealthy
farmer living few miles from sgd
ney. On the night Of June 20, this
year, he arose from his bed just be-
fore midnight, got a drink Of water
and then sat down at the kitchen
table. While sitting there a bullet
from a .22 caliber rife was fred into
his: right temple causing instant
death. Mrs. Krupnicke' telephoned the
sheriff here that robbers had entered
the house, stolen $500 and then killed
her husband. An investigation was
made and the money was found
wrapped in Mrs. Krupnicke's apron
and buried near the stable. She was
arrested and charged with the mur-
Ter. Yesterday in court Andrew, the
son who had been held as a witness,
created sensation by going upon the
witness stand and testifying that 1t
was he and not his mother who shot
his father. The proof against the
woman was conclusive and II the case
had gone to the jury 1t probably
would have resulted in verdict Of
murder in the first degree. After the
confession and the sentence of the
boy to imprisonment for life, the case
against the mother was dismissed.
Then the boy told the sheriff that his
mother Vas guilty and that he con-

They want to know II the mayor will
line his friends up with the Lorimer

he send them, into the state adminis-

are many leaders who are saying here
that they believe Lorimer L.. more

wipe him out as q political factor.
