Tirn MORNING- OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1910. ILLINOIS PRIMARY BILL IS DEFECTIVE Mistake of Lawmakers May Affect Practical Operation of Measure. DENEEN WILL APPROVE IT jsTTorney-General Passes Opinion .on - Document, Failing to Give It Clean Bill of Health Mu nicipal Ticket Affected. SPRTNOFIELD, III.. March 7. (Spe cial.) Governor Densen will approve the primary election hill passed at the recent special session of the general assembly. This was settled tonight, -when the Gov ernor received from Attorney General Stead an opinion upon the measure. While the Attorney General declines to crive the act & clean bill of health, he finds no fatal defect In it. He does, how ever, oall the attention of the Governor to one feature affecting its praotical oper ation, which Indicates a mistake on the part of the lawmakers. Result of Erro Widespread. . The result of this error will be to pre vent voters from supporting non-partisan tickets In municipal elections when po litical parties have tickets In the field. Attorney General Stead expresses the opinion that the unconstitutional pro visions in the Oglesby act, upon which this bill was based, have been remedied. Further than this he declines to express an opnlon. In his advice to Governor Deneen he says in part: "This law was drawn upon the same theory as was the primary act of 1908, deolared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. "With the exception of State Senators and Representatives in the General As sembly it embraces the same offices as did the act of 1908. Defects Killed 19 08 Bill. "The act of 1908 was declared uncon stitutional because sections 11 and 44 .thereof were found to be defective. "Section 11 of the act of 1908 related to the nomination of candidates for Rep resentatives in the General Assembly. By the elimination of candidates for Rep resentatives in the General Assembly from this bill one of the objections found against the act of 1908 has been obviated. "From principles Heretofore announced toy the court, I cannot conceive that the omission of State Senators and Repre sentatives in the General Assembly from this bill, will, hi any wise, render this bill vicious. FEWER THAN 20,000 OUT (Concluded From First 10150.) because they have been forced out by the action of. certain branches of their trades. Navy-Yard Stands Ready. For instance. It Is said, at a carpet rnill 300 dyqers quit work and this compelled the closing of the plant and the enforced idleness of 2800 other em ployes. The commandant of the Philadelphia Navy-yard today Issued an order for bidding leave of absence to men on any vessels at the yard during the strike troubles. Secretary Nell Bonner, of the Retail Liquor Dealers' Association, announced that the association had requested its members as well, as other cafe propri etors to close their bars should 'dis order occur in the vicinity and keep them closed until the trouble should subside. A willlngnness of the part of the proprietors to comply with the request was indicated. Parade Is Broken Up. One of the incidents of the day was a parade of a small band of men which was broken up by the police, without Just cause, the men assert. As the marchers passed a hosiery, mill they attempted to persuade the factory em ployes to Join the sympathetic strike. Their effort was unsuccessful and the police declare the marchers became disorderly. Clubs were used freely and two arrests were made. The master builders met . late today at the Builders Exchange, adopted resolutions condemning the- sympa thetic strike and discussed action against soma ot the bodies of men who Joined the general strike move ment. It is asserted that agreements made by the employers with more than one of the unions in the building trades have been deliberately broken. The resolution calls upon labor leaders to reconsider their action at once. City Administration Denounced. Four thousand men and women attend ed a mass meeting of the strikers in the Labor Lyceum. . The city administration was bitterly denounced for its attitude, and the speak ers were especially vehement in criticising the employment of negro policemen. One of them declared, "Our rulers have put a club into the black man's hands with which to club out the white man's brains." Luella M. Twining-, a woman organizer of the "Western Federation of Miners, was one of the speakers. Her praise of Eugene V. Debs and the Socialist move ment aroused enthusiasm. Grave Outbreak Occurs. John M. Wall, an official of the Massa chusetts Central Labor Union, assured the Philadelphia strikers' that they would receive financial support from his state. Resolutions calling upon every man, wom en and child in Philadelphia to quit work were adopted with cheers. A the crowds were leaving the hall there was a grave outbreak of disorder. Several cars were stoned in front of the place. The police charged the crowd, which was so dense that It dispersed slowly. The bluecoats swung their clubs, fell ing several persons, three of whom were seriously beaten and were, taken to a hospital. When the policemen fired their revolv ers several times in the air, the people scattered in all directions. Six arrests were made. The board of directors of the United (Business Men's Association appointed a committee of seven to call a conference of the banking, commercial, and trade, bodies, business associations' and religV ous and fraternal organizations to bring about a eettlement of the strike.

CUDAHY WILL GO FREE (Concluded From Flrt Paffe.) John c Cowin, of Omaha, an attorney of National reputation, Mrs. Cudahy rushed tonight. The general arrived here on an evening train and went to the Cudahy home, where his daughter had been waiting for him since Sunday morn- nlng, when she telephoned him to come to her at once. 'Briefly, Mrs. Cudahy told her story to her father It was practically the same sne gave out in a statement today. Ac cording to her story, she and Lillis had been automobile riding, returned home and were seated in the library resting when Cudahy entered. Woman Innocent, Says Father. General Cowin was much affected by his daughter's story. My daughter is innocent," he said. firmly. "I am as certain of that as : am of the virtue of Jesus Christ."

Why did he not think of these dear children who must suffer from this untrue statement?" The general was unable to say whether divorce will result from the trouble in the Cudahy household. - Wife Hints at Separation. - This afternoon. Mrs. Cudahy was in duced to make a statement. In telling or her husband's attack upon Mr. Lulls she declared it was the culmination of a long line of brutal treatment- This last act, she said, would result in the separation of herself and husband. MrsL Cudahy was lying on a davenport in her room as she made her statement. One of her eyes was badly swollen. This was done Saturday night, she said, "and I have no desire to receive visitors today. It was a terrible thing that occurred. It was all caused by an automobile, a new runabout, that Mr. Lillis had just obtained." Mrs. Cudahy then told the story or tn attack. Her husband, she said, attended by his chauffeur, Johann Moss (who was called Fenn by his employers), naa iouna Mr. Lillis and Mr a. Cudahy at the Cudahy home. "It was last Friday," said Mrs. Cudahy. that Mr. Lillis received his new run about. I had the first ride in the otner one and I told Mr. Lillis I wanted the first ride in this one. "He said I should have it. I told Fenn, our chauffeur, that day that Mr. Lillis had got hie new car and that I was to have a ride in it. Incidentally I remarked that Mr. Cudahy was going out of town, down to Grainfield. Kan., I believe, to look at soma cattle. Cudahy Bribes Chauffer? "Well, Fenn must have been bribed by Mr. Cudahy. I have always been gooa to that boy and Mr. Cudahy was always fussing at him. That Mr. cuoany a noinnr out of town would have had any thing to do with my riding with Mr. Lillis would be ridiculous. Mr. Cudahy often says he is going out of town and then never goes. He probably does that nine out of 10 times. "Friday the car was unloaded, and in the afternoon we took a ride. Saturday, Mr. Lillis said I should see the car tried out aearn. We went out Saturday after noon and then drove out to the Country Club for dinner. Then we decided to go down to the Baltimore instead, which we did. "Then we went riding in the evening again. When we carne home Mr. Hills was sroinsr to drive away when I asked him to come into the house. We went into the library downstairs and had been talkinar only a few minutes when Mr. Cudahy (Mrs: Cudahy alwayB called him Mr. Cudahy) rushed into the room. He must have come into the house through the billiard-room. He was accompanied bv Fenn (Johann Moss) the chauffeur, Thev seized Mr. Lillis and began beat ing him. Mr. Cudahy had a thing that he uses in the car. and he beat Mr. lis over the head with it." Hare Mrs. Cudahy looked over at the table near her couch and said: Mrs. Cudahy's Eye Blackened. "There it is. See the blood on the end?" The "thing" to which she had alluded was an electric searchlight. It was eight Inches Jong and about the thickness of a man a wrist. "That was what he hit me with, too, said Mrs. Cudahy. "I ran as soon as I saw they were beating Mr. LlULs. I be lieved they would try to kill him, and I thought they would try to kill me, too. They had a rope with them when they came in, and both swore frightfully. "I ran upstairs and stood screaming at the top of the stairs. Freda, the maid. came running in with the other servants. She stood with her arms about me to protect me. They had finished tying Mr. Lillis by this time and Mr. Cudahy came tearing upstairs. He struck me over the head and in the left eye. (Mrs. Cudahy raised her handkerchief to the scar) and you see what he did." Both the lid and the eye Immediately under the lid were a deep purple. Mrs. Cudahy Calls Police. "Then he rushed downstairs," Jlrs. Cudahy went on, "and I guess he began to use the knife on Lillis. I guess he must have had it with him, although didn't see it when he come in. Freda ran downstairs and came up telling me they were cutting Mr. Lillis. I cried 'Murder,' and ran for the telephone. It was I who called the police. Wouldn't you have done the same thing when it appeared that murder was being com mitted? They kept on beating and cut ting Mr. Lillis. Mr. Cudahy would beat him awhile and the chauffeur would cry .'Turn him over. Then they would beat him some more. "Freda was in the hall when Fenn the chauffeur, rushed out again. He had a revolver in his hand. He pointed It at her and she ran. He rushed upstairs' and shook his fist in my face. I screamed. 'Let's kick the woman out,' he cried, but Mr. Cudahy was too busy beating Mr. Lillis downstairs to pay any atten tion to him. He rushed downstairs again. Then the police came."
