Roosevelt Goes

 Equally significant. Cermak stated he believed Smith did not expect to be q candidate and was friendly toward Roosevelt. cermak. democratic ruler of Illinois, has indicated that Roose welt probably can have Illinois without much difficulty. Techni- cally Cermak is still parked safe ly on the favorite son candidacy of Senator James Hamilton Lewis, but actually the Illinois votes are potentially Roosevelt's.
 Just few days ago Joseph Guf- fy, former democratic national committeeman for Pennsylvania and still q power there, endorsed Roosevelt and predicted he would get most of the Pennsylvania dele gates.
 Thus Roosevelt is reasona bl, certain of most delegates of New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, plus the generally expected sup port he will receive in many vest ern and southern states where he Is constantly referred to as the most favored figure.
 RoOsevelt's unofficial campaign manager, James A. Farley. demo- cratic state chairman of New York, has just returned from |; western trip which took him into all but three states west of the Mississippi. He brought back an enthusiastic report for Roosevelt.
 Colonel E. NJ. House, one of the important advisors of Wood- row Wilson, recently declared for Roosevelt.
 The note of opposition to-day came from Dr Arthur J. Barton, chairman of the executive com- mittee of the Anti-Saloon league, and chairman of the Ashevillc conference which organized the anti-Smith movement among the southern democrats in 1928.
 He issued q statement declaring "The liquor steam roller is at work on the roads for the 1892 convention" He declared south ern dry democrats were under no delusion as to the fact that NIT Roosevelt is thoroughly wet" de- spite an effort to keep that fact in the background.
 Barton said Roosevelt approved every word of Smiths wet plat form and has declared for uncon- ditional repeal of the 18th amend ment.

 Priests administered the last rites of the church to those still conscious.
 Inside, some inmates became panicky while Mother Agatha and the nuns tried to get them out of the building.
 Some of the women, bewildcrcd, started from the line to thelr rooms for shawl or slippers. Nuns pleaded, coaxed and com- mahded them to return to the line. As flames lighted the halls the women realized the danger and followed the sisters.
 Edward McMenenin and Harold Lauer were among the first res cuers to reach the building. Each rescued three women before smoke drove him out of the building for the last time and firemen with smoke masks took over the task.
 We saw people hanging out of windows. crying for help. Some were coming down the fire es- capes. We ran up fire escape and reached the second floor, !" Lauer said.

 Little was known here of Miss Schmerler except that three weeks ago she came from New York and, agairst the advice of persons bet ter acquainted with the country, set cat alone to live among the Indians 10 learn their habits and ways of living and. if possible, the tribal secrets they have guarded since the days of Geronimo, the fierco old chief who led the ma:- sacre of an entire company or scouts and soldiers in 1872.
 If authorities had any clues to aid in solution of the mystery, they kept them secret. One theory discussed widely in the town was that Miss Schmerler might have been killed by jealous Indian girl or by squaws who resented having a white woman come among them asking questions which they con sidered personal.
 It was said that Miss Schmerler  had planned to attend q dance last Saturday night at Fort Apache with young Gilbert and that the last seen of her she vas leaving the ltttle log cabin in which she lived on the east fork of Whit" River. Neither she nor Gilbert reached the fort.
