Moslem League Presi-
dent Sounds Call for
Freedom; Hints at
Guerilla Warfare

Ahmedabad, British India, Dec.
31.- (By Associated Press. -
A plea for an indian republic to
be called the United States of
India, to be declared January 1,
and to be attained by guerilla
warfare, if necessary, was the
principal feature of the address
of President Hazrat Mohani, Of
the all-India Moslem League in
opening the annual session of the
league here today.
Mohani invited Mohandas
Gandhi, leader of the non-cooper-
alton movement, who was pres
ent, to form parallel govern
ment with its own parliament and
armes. Hohani admitted that such
government could not be main
tanned by peaceful means.
Mohani assured the Hindus that
their apprehensions regarding
what might happen under a "free
India (" were groundless, because
India belonged equally to the
Hindus and the Mohammedans
and he declared the Moslems
would stand by the Hindus to the
last for the attainment Of inde.
pendence.
Mohani said he believed the
situation could not remain non.
VIOLENT when the government had
recourse to the gallows and ma,
chine guns.
Referring to the question Of
the Turkish settlement, Mohan
said evacuation of Smyrna ant
restoration of Thrace would no
satisfy the Moslems, who woult
not be content until all thei
territorials were freed from non
Moslem influence.

Evans Insane
Claim, Put In
Asylum Here

Abe Evans, condemned slayer
of James Doran in Wasco county,
was last night transferred from a
cell in murderer's row in the state
penitentiary to the ward for Grim
inally insane at the state hospital
for the insane.
The transfer was made on in
structions of a sanity commission
before which Evans was taken last
night on orders Of Governor Oh
colt following receipt of report
from DR.. w. Carlton Smith, prison
physician, Friday afternoon, de-
claring that in his opinion Evans
is insane.
The order transferring Evans
last night was only temporary and
was made in order that the con-
demned man might be kept under
close observation for few days
before the COMMISSION reaches a
final decision as to his sanity.
Should he then be declared to be
insane, as now seems probable,
Evans will be regularly commit
ted to the state hospital and will
thus cheat the gallows on which
he was to have paid the supreme
penalty for his crime.
Evans was alleged to have kill
ed Doran on September 10, shoot
ing down his victim without warn
ing. Shortly after he was found
guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and sentenced to hang on De-
cember q, last. He secured a stay
of execution upon the filing of an
appeal in the supreme court anc
that appeal is now pending.
Shortly after his arrival at the
prison Evans tried to hang him
self by tearing his shirt and bed
clothes into strips and looping
them around his neck and over O
steam pipe in HIS cell. Three
times, all told, he made this at
tempt at self destruction, almost
succeeding in his efforts at one
time.
At another time he wound a BIZ
Of twine string around his neel
and stood in the middle Of his Gel
awaiting the arrival of the guart
and on several occasions he hai
looped towel about his neck.
During the past few days he ha
become violent, shouting am
screaming at the top of his voic'
day and night SO that sleep wa
impossible for the other prisoner
sharing his wing Of the peniten
tiary.
This led to an examination int
: his sanity by DR.. Smith as prisol
, physician and his report to tn
: governor which in turn called TO
/ the examination OF Evans by tn
sanity commission composed o
5 physicians at the state hospital.
