ACT ENABLES
LEGION POST
TO own Club
Measure Passes; Rhett
Property Will Be Taken
Over, Improved

The Hubert NJ. Smith post,
American Legion, was prepared
today TO accept title to the Rhett
property, adjoining the site of
the former Terrace hotel. under
the provisions of a bill introduc
ed By Senator ]. o. Bell and
passed by the general assembly.
The act specifically enables
the Legion post to incorporate
with the members as stockhold-
ers and to accept the property
as a donation. A dwelling OF
about 20 rooms on the property
will be used as a clubhouse, with
spacious grounds, while about
four acres of the tract, partially
wooded will be given to the city
as a public park.
The Legion post is planning to
spend about $1,000 in eQuipping
the clubhouse and in identifying
the grounds. The latter will in
clude grading of the steep bank
facing Main street, planting
shrubbery, building concrete
steps and the like. The post has
arranged to obtain funds with
which to make the improvements.
The property will be acquired
entirely free of encumbrance.
can never be mortgaged and
cannot be disposed of except by
a two-thirds vote of directors
The clubhouse probably will be
made available for meetings of
a community nature!
Directors of the corporation
will be the present commander,
all past commanders and the
present adjutant. L. 3. Prince
is the commander now, and the
past commanders include DIR.
Wiltshire Griffith. Mayor A. V:
Edwards, r. L. Whitmire Fred
Justus Claude English DR.. w. r.
Bracket j. w. Duff, c. n:
James, Jimmie Mitchell and
Frank FitzSimons. Walter 5.
Stepp is the present adjutant.
ACQUISITION of the clue house
and land is the fulfilment of an
ambition long held by the Le-
cion. Several years ago the
post secured a site on which to
erect a club house toward which
considerable money, materials
and labor were pledged, but tho
plan fell through. The present
arrangement was worked out by
Comrnander Prince post mem-
bers said. and the legislative bill
was drawn by Past Commander
Whitmire and submitted to SEN
ator ]. o. Bell for introduction
in the assembly. The property
acquired formerly was part OF
the W. D. McAdoO real estate
holdings, but later reverted to q
mortgage company. It is one OF
the most attractive sites IN the
city.

ALL VISITORS
AREKEPT FROM
HIS BEDSIDE
Pneumonia Develops in
Localized Attack, Ex-
pected to Spread
COMPLICATION FROM
COLITIS IS CHECKED

MIAMI. Fla, Feb. 27.-UP).
Mayor Cermak. losing ground rap
idly, passed through a critical
night with almost unmistakable
indications that the end is near
in his fight with death after being
wounded by an assassin's bullet.
MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 27.-(UP).
Physicians attending Mayor Anton
Cermak of Chicago. announced
last night that pneumonia had de-
veloped.
The mayor, victim of Giuseppe
Zangara's attempt to assassinate
President-elect Roosevelt, yester.
day had passed a day in which
some encouraging signs had been
noted.
At 6:13 p. M, however, after a
visit to his bedside, physicians an
nounced that the lung condition,
previously said to be pleurisy, had
developed into pneumonia.
Doctors said that Cermak re-
NAMED convinced he would get
we'll. While occasionally he talked
irrationally. this was said to be
due to the hypodermics and thu
nerve SCATTERING force of constant
medicinal treatments.
"He even talked about how he
hopes to be out at Miami Beach
in a week. and what friends he
wanted to ask out there,p Tice
said.
All visitors were barred today
from the corridor adjoining the
mayors room in the east wing Of
Jackson Memorial hospital and
from the sun parlor next to the
room. DR.. Karl Meyer explained
the purpose was to prevent any
undue noise. Others said it was
designed to prevent a repetition
of the sick room incident Satur-
day night when the mayor must
have seen and heard his daugh-
ter's loud sobbing.
On the white door of the sick
room, the mo visitors" sign in
black letters was replaced by one
reading in red letters, "The may
or is sleeping, please do not
knock"
DR.. ]. w. Snyder who issued
the bulletin signed by all physi-
clans attending, said that the
pneumonia developed suddenly af-
ter noon although a pulmonary
congestion had worried physicians
earlier in the day.
"Does this mean that the mayor
is dying?" he was asked.
"No, simply that his chances
for recovery are far smaller" was
the answer.
The development shocked rela.
tives and friends who had been
buoyed up by early word from
the physicians that the mayor was
greatly improved over Saturday.
Snyder said that he did not
consider the mayors respiration
of SO, a jump since 3 p. M. dan
gerous. However, should the may
or's respiration reach 36 or 40
grave fears would be felt momen-
tarily for his life.
Snyder said the pneumonia con-
dition would in all likelihood
! spread. but with what speed was
uncertain. Meanwhile the battle
centered on building up what re-
sistance Cermak has left to fight
| ing this new inroad into his
strength.
Snyder said that the colitic CON-
dition has improved and appears
checked, and the mayor was get
ting nourishment through nat
/ ural manner.
