EXECUTIVE OF CHICAGO DIES
 EARLY TODAY
Death Comes While Pa tent in State of Coma,
 Miami Hospital
COMPLICATIONS SET
 IN; GANGRENE CAUSE
Zangara Will Be Immed- lately In dicted on
 Murder Charge

MIAMI, Florida, March 6. Anton J. Cermak, Mayor Of Chicago, wounded February 15 by Giuseppe Zangara, who tried to assassinate Franklin D. Roosevelt, died at 6:57 o'clock this morning, quietly and without emerging from a coma in which he sank Sum- day night.
 Death followed complica- tions against which the Chi cago Executive rallied valiant ly, time after time.
 Last Saturday night Mayor Cermak was taken to the op- erating room where a lung was tapped for pus. He was returned to his hospital room later and physicians said nothing was found.
 At that time members of the family were told there was no cause for alarm.
 The family and several close friends were at the bedside at the time the Mayor passed on.
 Gangrene Appears
 Gangrene appeared in the right lung where the bullet grazed it.
 Early Sunday morning physicians feared for the worse and the end was expected at any time.
 State Attorney Vernon Hawthorne said an immediate indictment of zangara on a first degree murder charge will be sought.
 Mayor Cermak's body will be taken to Chicago by train late to- day where it will arrive Wednesday forenoon at 10 o'clock.
 In Critical Condition
 Mrs. Joseph Gill, another vic- tim of zangara's bullets is said to be in critical condition as the result of an abdominal wound.
 Overthrew "Thompsonism"
 Anton Joseph Cermak capped a long and cumulatively successful political career by attaining the Chicago Mayoralty with the 1881 overthrow of "Thompsonism'
 The story of the man who be- came Chicago's Democratic 1883 worlds Fair Mayor concurrently with the city's repudiation of Will jam Hale Thompson is a repetition of the traditional America saga of an immigrant boy fighting his way to business and political eminence.
 Cermak's victory by a record majority in the 1881 election, when Thompson sought a fourth term, was described by political critics as DelllS dLIIlDutdDlc do HULL lO an anti Thompson" vote as to 8 pro Cermak" vote, yet he never was characterized as strictly an op- portunist. And his previous suc- cesses in climbing the political ladder had proved his ability as a vote-getter on his own merits.
 Cermak's rise to political power was by no means meteoric, but it was steady, duplicating his growth in social stature from humble birth in Bohemia to a position of power in Americas second largest city.
 Milestones of his youth and young manhood indicate the drive and force which carried Cermak to sue cess. He was earning his own liv-

REPEAL To HELP
THOSE PAST 40

NEW YORK.-Those over 40
will be the chief gamers by re-
peal, according to Professor WAL
ter B. Pitkin of Columbia Uni
versity.
And what is more the greater
abundance of liquors and light
wines will increase their energy,
give them more power, increase
their efficiency and improve their
lot generally, he said. Pitkin is
the author of Life Begins at
Forty" and More Power To
You"
Pitkin warned, however, those
over 40 not to overindulge. They
should drink judiciously and
mainly at the end of the day, he
said. It will aid them in sleeping
and that will improve their
energy, he pointed out. Pitkin
continued:
Repeal will mean much
more to those over 40 and par
ticuIarly those over so than it
will to the youngsters.
"ThOse over 40 need Stimu-
lantS to increase their energy
when it shows signs Of lag
-ing. They should drink light
wines and not too much of
strong liquors. Overindulgence
will bring much more harm
than good"

Pittsburgh Rum
Raid Yields
Snake Oil

PITTSB URGH, Dec. z
GN.SO-Pittsburgh's first
liquor raid since prohibition
was repealed, today had netted
very fine assortment Of moon
shine, snake oil, a 50-gallon
still, several gallons of alcohol,
and half a dozen snakes.
w. M. Thompson, said to be
the owner and proprietor Of
the select assortment, denied
from his Jail cell today that
any of his many products were
ever confused. If a man asked
for snake oil, he got it. If he
saw snakes after making a
purchase Of moonshine, it
wasn't because he had pur-
chased snake oil. Thompson
said:
"I used to sell lots Of snake
oil, but business fell off and I
couldn't part with the snakes,
so 1 just kept them around for
company"

KICKER BREWS
FIND FAVOR IN
NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Dec. 7 Q.N.S0.
New York got down to its serious
drinking today, as the populace
continued to take repeal seri-
ously rather than hilariously.
With more licenses granted
and the supply of legal beverages
beginning to flow smoothly from
warehouses, the clinking of glass
ware and the popping Of corks
took it's routine place as a part
Of family life.
Beers Kick Kicker
Broadway, Fifth Avenue and
Park Avenue staged their second
night of the new drinking era
with restaurants and hotels
crowded. Again there were few
signs Of drunkenness.
Dynamic beer, containing 4 to
8 per cent alcohol, made its
debut and there was much smack
ing of lips as the result.
Hotels predicted the depression
was over for them. Drinking
rooms of various hostelries were
thronged. The cocktail hour drew
many uneScorted women.
The ban on drinking at bars
was openly defied in many in
stances. Rolling bar wagons were
used generally and generously.
Big Stores Thronged
The liquor sections of depart
ment stores were stormed by
purchasers, most of them women.
The licensed liquor stores were
patronized by men.
The war against the speak
easies got under way with so ar
rests. Magistrate Thomas Aurelio
told six prisoners the bootleg
dynasty had collapsed and that
violators of the liquor law need
not expect clemency.
De luxe Speakeasies, licensed
following repeal, continued to dis
pense proudly to old customers.
The drinking manners of legal
tmbibers continued to be in
fluenced by the speakeasy era.
Bartenders from the -prohibi-
tion days were puzzled at the re-
peated orders for hard drinks and
the ignoring of fine vintages from
abroad.
