MIAMI, Fla, February 24.-Dr. Frank
Jirka, son-in-law of Mayor Anton
Cermak of Chicago, said today he con-
sidered the mayor, wounded by an as
sassin's bullet, had little chance to live,
but DR.. Frederick Tice, Chicago heart
specialist, said:
Human life Is too complicated to
place it on a valuation Of chances on
the one side against chances on the
other. There are too many factors to
be considered"
DR.. Jirka's statement was made after
members of the mayors family had
visited him at the hospital.
The family left the room In tears
after a brief stay.
Mrs. Jirka Breaks Down.
DR. Tice said preparations were started
at 11:45 am. to administer another
intravenous injection of glucose, food
substance being pumped into the veins
In an attempt to aid vitality.
State Senator Richey v. Graham Of
Illinois and Mrs. Graham, law
and daughter of Cermak; their daugh-
ter, Virginia, and Mrs. Jirka, wife of
the attending physician, and little
Marinalla Jirka, 7-year-old, were those
who went into the room, in addition to
Mrs. Kinlay.
DR.. Tice said the family had request
ed to see the mayor. Previously, they
had been allowed to visit him only a
few times.
Mrs. Jirka, daughter of Mayor Ger
max, broke down during a discussion
with DR.. Tice just after her arrival at
the hospital.
Members of the family were taken
into the mayors room one by one.
DR.. Tice Issues Bulletin.
Father Sidney j. Morrison of St.
Bartholomew Church, Chicago, whis-
pered briefly with Drs. Meyer and Tice
in the corridor.
DR.. Jirka said chances that the mayor
will live cannot be narrowed down to an
estimate of hours.
DR.. Tlce said in a bulletin at 1890
O'Clock that a colitis attack which
struck at the mayor last Saturday con-
tinueS to cause discomfort and distress -
THE heart action" his bulletin read,
''iS only fair and at times Is the cause
of much anxiety. The congestion Of
the lungs has become much less and
has practically disappeared"
Today's visit by the family was the
first time this week they have been al
lowed to see him.
DR.. Jirka said the family was not
summoned by the doctors, but had been
visiting at the hospital in the morning
hours since Cermak was shot.
At 1910 pm. DR.. Karl A. Meyer of
Chicago said the mayor was "in an up
and down condition" and that his heart
and pulse action was variable.
An extended quiet zone was ordered
IN the hospital wing where Mayor Ger
mak'S room is located and officers were
stationed in the corridors to preserve
quiet.
Construction Of new hospital wing
about 300 feet from the Cermak room
was silenced.

PEIPING, China. February "a
George Bernard Shaw viewed the Great
Wall of China from an airplane at a
height of 5000 feet today, but had
nothing to say regarding his experience.
Whatever were the emotions of the
famous playwright as the plane flew
over the old wall he kept to himself.
Not once during the long flight did he
let drop one of his characteristic OBJ
Servations.
Shaw, with his wife and few others,
flew in the private plane of Marshal
Chang HSiao-Liang, commander OF
North China military forces. The flight
was somewhat bumpy and the tempera-
ture at the height the plane attained
was 35 degrees below Zero but the
playwright apparently was unaffected.
He jumped to the ground sprightly
when the plane landed

CONSULTS FARLEY
ON UNTITLED Jobs
Announcements Regarding
Key Positions Are Expected
Monday at Earliest.
PARTY CHAIRMAN GUEST
AT RO0SEVELT'S HOME
Woodin Called to Hyde Park for
Early Conference on Ma
tons Finances.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
HYDE PARK, February 24-Selec-
tion of men to man the new Democratic
ship of state occupied attention of Pres
ident-elect Roosevelt today in a meet
ing with James A. Farley, national
party chairman, at his home here.
Roosevelt reached Hyde Park with
trip from Albany. He attended the an
nual dinner of the Legislative Core
spondentS' Association there last night
and remained over with Coy. Lehman.
While talking names with Farley, it
was stated by the President-elect he
would have no announcements to make
before Monday morning at the earliest.
He would give no more details as to
the officials he will call to his side in
the new Government 1t IS very likely
however, that in addition to the cabinet
nominations he will submit to the spe-
cial session of the Senate in March
many other names of men and women
to fill the key positions,
Wheat Discussion Disclosed.
Roosevelt declined today to say
whether he would ask the special Sen
Court protocol and the st. Lawrence
Waterways treaty now awaiting ratifl-
cation. Senator Walsh of Montana,
previously predicted, after a conference
with Roosevelt, these would be taken
up in the special session.
The President-elect did disclose to-
day that he had talked about wheat
in his recent meeting with w. D. Her.
ridge, the Canadian Minister, but he
said nothing definite had been ar
ranged about a wheat conference He
recalled that the subject of wheat is
part of the agenda for the economic
conference.
Message to Be Short.
William H Woodin, the new Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. has been called
here by Roosevelt for an early confer
ence. OF course, national finance will
be taken up and beyond that the Presi-
dent-elect did not discuss this meeting.
Otherwise no particular conferences
have been arranged. Roosevelt expects
to devote most of his last week before
inauguration to preparation of his in
augural address and to packing. He is
still counting on very brief speech.
He expects to leave here probably on
Tuesday and depart from New York for
Washington late Thursday.

FIST BLOW ON HEAD RESTORES
DEAF MUTE'S VOICE AND HEARING
Youth Had Lost Use of Tongue and Ears Seven Years
Ago by Sort of Violence.

The same violence which robbed Rol-
and A. Wright of speech and hearing
seven years ago last night restored them
again-a fist blow to the side of the
head
Since the first blow was delivered,
during an amateur boxing affair in
New York, the colored youth had been
wholly deaf and dumb.
Wright recovered consciousness to
find he had lost the use of tongue and
ears, and in the years that followed
learned to talk by means of pencil and
pad and sign language.
Wright, now 20 years old, and a resi-
dent of the 1900 block of Twelfth street.
became involved IN a silent argument

with a friend on T street near Sixth
street.
Suddenly. the friend hit Wright on
the head. Again Wright lost conscious
ness. When he came to he found his
friend bending over him and began to
express his anger.
This, to Wright's amazement, took
the form of shouts. Wright's friend
was more than astonished and fright
sent him flying. Up to this morning
he had not been found.
Wright came to Police Court today,
not to swear out a warrant for assault,
however Wright was looking for his
friend, anxious to thank him vocally
and in person for the boon Of that
hard blow to the head.

MISSISSIPPI "CAP'N"
OF RIVER FAME DEAD
G. Peters Lee, Last of the Steam.
boatin' Lees, Sue
cumbs.

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS. January 5-Cap'n G.
Peters Lee-the last of the steamboatin'
Lees-died at his river home yesterday
near the gaunt old Mississippi, which
the Lee packets have travelled since
1862.
He was 81 and had been steamboat
master since he was 25.
Some of the greatest boats on the
river have flown the Lee ensign. Most
of them were designed by Cap'n Peters
Lee. The James Lee was the first
packet of the line. Then the Robert E.
Lee (not the racer), the Bob Lee Geor-
gia Lee. Reese Lee, Sadie Lee, Stacker
Lee. Peters Lee and the last, James Lee.
Cap'n Peters-tfrats what river folks
called hinl-Was the last connection be-
tween the Mississippi and the Lees.
And now for the first time since his
grandfather established the Lee Lines
in 1852 and ran supplies to the Con-
federates, there are no Lees on the
river.
There was an affinity between the
Cap'n and the Mississippi which was
quite beyond the ken of landlubbers. He
ron boat during the glamorouS days
of river travel when pilots fed fat meat
to their boilers to get more steam.
Everybody of the river clans knew
the Cap'n. He was friend to rousta-
bouts, levee Negroes, little boys and
dogs. One hound was at his feet con-
stantly for almost IA years.
They still sing songs in the bayou
country about the exploits of the James
Lee-the queen of the line. 1t was as
famous down here as the City of Nat
chez.
The Lee whistleAa melodious thing
that howled for channel rights, and got
them-was on the first James Lee.
That whistle has become symbol down
here. It was transferred to the second
and third James Lees and later was
perched near the towering stacks of
the Harry Lee.
Last night the Harry Lee worked the
bends of the White River. in the gumbo
lands of Arkansas, and the Lee whistle
still hoWled for channel rights. The
blasts are hoarse and deep, but they are
lullaby for steanboatin' men.
