Crowley, boastful, hateful, 21-year old killer, who fought only when armed, died calmly in the electric chair last night, his hands clasping a rosary, his last words for the woman who sent him that woman who bore him, deserted him at birth, and remained a stranger until death.

Committees appointed in the House and Senate to consider salary reduction proposals for state, county and municipal officers as embodied in the call for the sec- iond special session are expected to hold several conferences on the various bills. Farm leaders are expected to wage a thorough fight to gain support for the income tax measure which has been 'set as a special order of business for the next legislative day.

The bill has been passed by the Senate, but has met what some leaders say is an impassable obstacle in the House. When the income tax bill was considered at the last regular session of the assembly it was passed by the Senate only to be beaten by the House by two votes. Proponents of the bill have admitted that they still lack several votes needed to insure its passage at the special session. It is probable that steps will be taken at the Illinois Agricultural Association convention at Rockford next week to bring pressure to bear against downstate members who are opposing the measure. Governor L.

Emmerson has indicated that he will not sign the Chicago relief bill, which was passed by the House this week, until some agreement has been reached on appointment of the three assess- lors provided for by the measure. President Emmett WHiealen Governor are empowered to make the appointments. Each will name one -member and choose the third member jointly. The former is ill ami the latter will await his recovery before proceeding with the naming of any member of the assessing board. Emmerson has asked that politics be discarded in connection with the appointment of the assessors.

He wants the men named to the various posts to be- oufstandiug leaders who will assure the success of the proposal, local political leaders said.
