Dominic Corodino and his son; Frank Corodlho, have been arrested by De tectives Craddock and Mallet t for im plication In the murder . of , Dominic Bonnelli, an .Italian laborer who .was shot twice last night on the back porch of the home of Nick Tomino, 678 Hood street while they with 26 other guests had assembled to attend the christening of Tomino'a baby? The detectives aver that the real murderers will be in cus tody before night. ' V - Considerable mystery surrounds this murder. Bonnelli was standing on the rear porch when two shots were fired and the man fell mortally wounded. Without giving any information as to who shot him, he lapsed into uncon sciousness and died at St. Vincent's hos pital several hours after being removed there. ' -: r - .--' Seeking'' Class.--1'-- V ' . Today the two detectives assisted by Joe Morak. a special Italian detective, brougl to the police station the guests who were at the christening. None of them will talk very much, 1 but from the questions asked by the detectives It was determined that . Bonnelli was get ting very drunk and Tomino had refused him liquor. This is said to have in sulted Bonnelli and he with several others left the house, secured more liquor and returned.- On his return he is alleged to have insulted one of the members of the party : -who did the shooting and Instead of fleeing, merely mixed with the crowd, all of whom pledged him to keep his secret. Keeping-Tacts Quiet The fact of ' this pledge is making it difficult for the police to arrive at facts, J. Proposodero, one of the guests, was" held at the detective, headquarters for several hours, . r ' Bonnelli had been a roomer at the Tomino home for about a year and from that fact It is not considered that then was any quarrel of long standing to end In the murder last night, but rather a drunken brawl, in which, Bonnelli was the aggressor. This fact has been estab lished by the fact that Bonnelli w.ti very much offended when he was re fused liquor after he had become very drunk.";t : Dominic Corodino and his son were held to the coroner's Jury tills after noon. ..

Senator Crawford of South Dakota to day subjected Lorimer to a bitter ex coriation, ry. ' : ' '. "We had better burn our court houses," said Crawford, "abolish our statutes and eliminate the senate en tirely if we are to be guided by appeals for sympathy rather ; man by sworn charges against eminent men." Crawford defended Governor' .Deneen from the charges of "tyranny and usurpation made against him and as serted trja't "Lorlmer's wonderful, dra matic, , appealing ' statement was an avoidance of the Issue I won't say It waa a confession. He didn't touch upon a single vital .point.

He ' said Deneen had had no opportunity to reply to the rharro of tyranny. ' Reviewing the history of the case, ! Crawford resumed his flaying. "I have not changed .one whit fronv.my original attitude in this case," he said. 'This Is a fine situation!. I guess the; election of a speaker In the Illinois. house was the first step In the rotten' program. God help us from this kind of a politician. This is the natural fruitage of a situation like that in Chi-, cago, where 'Hinky Dink' and 'Bath-': house John' rule. The assertion is made , that such deals are "pulled off every-1 where.

Bailey's .objection was sustained and Crawford continued: ''I.. :. "Would you have convicted the sugar trust If you had not yanked a man from the shadow of the penitentiary to turn state's evidence? What would you do with the sugar trust? Let it .con tinue violating the law forever?" . Here Crawford ended abruptly, an nouncing that he expected to speak fur ther at a later date. TS ANY FARE INCREASE Wlllsburg people are preparing a pe tition of protest against the proposal of the O. W. P. company to Increase the fare to Portland from 6 to 10 cents.'. The station Is on the Cazadero line, was originally called Nickura and has 'been renamed Ardenwald. W. E. Wills and M. B. Harvey, members of a committee of citizens, said today It had been agreed some nine years ago that If the local residents built steps and , station the fare should always ' be 6 cents. Since that time a real estate firm has succeeded In having the station moved 900 feet west, but has spent., about $1500 In improvements and station con struction. The people believe that un der the circumstances the old agree ment should remain in force. The In creased fare was to take effect March 4, but has been postponed 90 days while the petition Js being Bigned. The com pany baa tentatively proposed to put In a platform. It Is said, at the city limits, where the S cent fare is effec tive which is about 1000 feet west, but which is unavailable, say the local resi dents, because of the distance and the fact that no road has been made to the place. 4 TRUE BILLS START Four true bills were reported to Pre siding Judge Oantenbeln at noon today by the February grand Jury. , Only two of these Indictments were made public, One of the true bills was against E.
