Springfield, Undetermined to ex.
pedite the work of the special session,
the Illinois legislature resumed dis
cussion of direct primary Legislation.
Speaker Shurtleff declared in favor
of an early adjournment and urged
the members to do their work and
not waste time here spending the

When the senate waterway commit
tee met, there was hot debate
whether the members should wait for
congress to say whether Illinois
would receive federal cooperation in
the work Some feared the bill would
suffer at the hands of its foes If re-
ported out now, but after several
amendments, the Schmidt administra-
tion bin was reported out and the wa
terway fight will soon be In progress
on the floor of the senate.
The committee struck out of the
bill all that portion addressed to con-
gress and which Senator Clark refer
red to as a speech to congress" 1t
was thus made essentially a state
measure, providing for beginning of
the work by the state of Illinois with
out waiting for federal aid.
The waterway commission provided
for shall name its own attorney, this
appointment being taken from the
governor by an amendment, which
Deneen's lieutenants did not oppose.

Slain in Broad DAYLIGHT.

The murder was committed after
daylight Thursday, when three men
entered the home of Benedetto Cienni,
and, while one held up his wife at the
point of a revolver, the other two shot
Cienni to death as he slept in his bed.
Mrs. Cienni was awakened by the
ringing of the door bell of their house,
which adjoins Ciennrs store. She
went to the front door and was con-
fronted by three strange Italians.
They said they wanted to buy some
gloves, and stepped into the house.
AS Mrs. Cienni started to awaken
her husband one of the men pressed a
revolver to her head and told her he
would shoot her dead if she made any
cutlery.
His two companions stepped quiet
ly into a rear bedroom, where Cienni
slept. A moment later Mrs. Cienni
heard two shots in rapid succession
and then a third, and the two men
quietly emerged from the bedroom,
each carrying smoking reVolvers. The
third man Joined them and they left
the house at once.
When Mrs. Cienni went into her
husbands bedroom she found him
dead with two bullets in his heart
and one wound through his chest. The
Italians had stepped up to him as he
slept, placed the muzzles of their re-
volvers against his heart and fired.
Letter Two Years Ago.
Two years ago Cienni received a
Black Hand letter threatening him
with death unless he turned $4,000
over to an agent of the society. He
ignored the threat. During the year
letters renewing the threat. He is-
nored the threat. During the year
following he received several other
letters renewing the threat. He ig-
nored them all and the letters ceased
| to come.
The Black Hand experts of the Pc,
lice Department stated Thursday that
Ciennis murder evidently had been
planned year ago, and that Thurs
day was the first favorable opportun-
ity presented.
