FRANCIS ASSESSED
 FOR PASSING LIGHT
Judge Conway Cautions Accused About Arguing
 With Policemen

Joseph Francis, 39, of Marion, who was arrested on a breach of the peace charge last night after a dispute with two policemen over his alleged passing of red light was given discharge by Judge T.. E. Conway in city court today Francis, however, was given Q warning about arguing with police men, and instructed to pay $5 to the police for passing the red light.
 The arrest last night was made by Patrolmen Joseph Cavanaugh and Paul Moynihan who reported that Francis spoke abusively to them when they halted him.
 Two years ago Francis had & lengthy battle with police over parking tags placed on his car. He went to jail briefly, but later paid a fine and costs.
 A continuance to Monday was given Charles Tanco, 53, of "A East Farm street, charged with failure to grant the right of way.
 Angelo Vanderino 9, of 63 Sumac street, charged with failure to sig nal, received continuance to the 18th.
 Francis Dunnigan, 37, of 1036 South Main street, charged with obtaining money by false pretenses, received days continuance. The charge involves the alleged passing of a fraudulent check.
 William J. Morency, 35, of 1911 East Main street, charged with em- bezzlement, was given a continuance to the 14th. He allegedly took $8986 from the American Laundry Go.

Reorganization Bill
 Is Presidents Fight
His Campaign Into Primary Fields Will Keep Measure
 Before People; Democrat Opponents Affected

organization and coordination of government agencies.
 Fewer than 100 votes were cast against these house bills. But the senate refused to consider them and, instead, enacted an omnibus bill including all of the foregoing and, additionally, for:
 1. Making the planning national resources committee permanent
 2. Abolition of the general &C., counting office and the independent comptroller generals office, trans fcrring their functions to the budget bureau which is controlled by the White House; establishment of an auditor general to be selected by Congress and to report to Congress on executive department expendi- lures after the money has been spent.
 3. Substitution of civil service commissioner for the civil service commission.
 Falls Short of Proposals
 AS expanded by the Senate the bill still fell far short of MT. Roos- evelts original proposal3. Specifical- ly exempted from reorganization or other interference by the Senate bill were such agencies as: board of tax appeals, federal reserve system, army engineers corps and the interstate commerce, federal trade, securities exchange, communications, power, coal, maritime and Mississippi river commissions. The courts also were exempted.
 Extraordinary efforts by the ad- ministration and Sen. James F. Byrnes, D., s. c. in charge of tl,e Senate bill, squeezed it through by count of 49 to AZ. A shift of four votes would have beaten 1t. Even such New Dealers as Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N. Y, deserted on that roll call.
 Senate consideration was accom- panied by rising outcry against the legislation in which some persons charged that it would lead to dic- tatorship. When the Senate bill iCdOiiCo tiiC IlOuoC Jlic lIdLlOIl Was plunging into angry discussion dur ing which the administrations early advantages gradually were worn away. As the house began dis cussion of the measure, MT. Roose- velt made public a letter to an un- identified correspondent explaining the bill and saying:
 Thus you will see that charges of dictatorship are made out of whole cloth-even if wanted to be a dic- tator, which heaven knows, I do not"
 That was on March 31. Speaker William B. Bankhead shortly was telling the overwhelmingly Demo- cratic House that "a vote against this bill and vote to recommit it would be repudiation-of the con- fidence of the American people in our president and the Democratic party"
 Later on the evening of April 8 the House voted-204 to 196-to kill the bill by sending it back to com mittee. Leaders persuaded MT. Roos- evelt not to raise the issue again be- fore congress adjourned.

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, July 6. (UP)-Presi- dent Roosevelt led the faithful to- day into another battle for enact- ment of a government reorganiza- tion bill which congress rejected this year in rebellion of House Democrats.
 By a few words, uttered in his regular press conference, MT. Roose- welt rammed the reorganization bill into the 1888 campaign close to the top of the list of issues which he is expected to present to voters on his trans-continental journey be- ginning July 2.
 His plans were revealed after his conference yesterday with Chairman Louis Brownlow and other members of the committee which, in January 1887, recommended to him the re- organization program which he i'm mediately submitted to Congress.
 Program Still Stands
 Observers judged that MT. Roose- velt's new insistence upon the bill disposed of any belief which may have gained currency that New Deal bumps during the sessions of the 18th Congress would materially alter the general administration program. He revealed that he feels Congress must put the executive branch of government on what sup porters of the bill call business basis. And he intends to present to the people and to Congress again substantially the same reorganiza- ton proposals which were rejected by the House on April 8, although the President indicated that he would be agreeable to moderate compromise. He is convinced that the country wants reorganization act.
 This decision to press again and apparently immediately for the bit- terly disputed legislation will have it's first repercussions in primary campaigns where Democrats run ming as 100 per cent New Dealers unquestionably will espouse the leg islation and attempt to force their more lukewarm opponents to take a position. It presumably is the ad- ministration expectation that suffi- cient pledges of support will be ob- tained among house nominees to insure a formally committed major ity for the bill in the Congress which will assemble next January.
 In Fighting Trenches
 Some sort of referendum endors- ing the bill probably will be neces- sary to brGg Roosevelt congress stonal leaders to the fighting trenches again in good spirits. They were under heavy fire although the reorganization battle was obscured through 1897 by the more spectacu- lar contest over reorganization of the judiciary. It is not expected that lfn Roosevelt will soon revive the Judiciary contest in which he was Gecisively defeated in the legislative field. He said in his post Congress fireside chat that his major objec- tives had been won through the changed attitude e the supreme court toward New Deal policies.
 Some Bills Passed
 But reorganization of executive departments must be won in Con- gresS if it is to be achieved at all. The House in 1887 passed piece meal reorganization legislation in two bills which provided.
 l. Six $l0,000 year administra- tive assistants for the White House.

President Franklin D. Roose- welt will be heard over the na- tionwide WABC- Columbia net work Friday from 1O:3o to 11:0O A. M., EDST, when he dedicates a monument at Marietta, Ohio, marking the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Northwest Territory. The above mentioned time is tentative. This ceremony, which will take place on the Marietta Common near the Muskegon River, climaxes 3 lengthy celebration of the Open- ing of the Northwest Territory. The monument was designed by Gutzon Borglum. An OK team left Ipswich, Mass, for Marietta last December 3, and has traced the course of the original group that occupied the Northwest Territory. It has been the scene of community celebrations since its departure, and will be one of the features of the festivities at Marietta.

ELECTION-EVE CRASH MAKES
MAIN RACE MORE UNCERTAIN
Political Observers Believe Death Of C. M. Zande1
May Have Catapulted Sidney p. Osborn Into
The Governors Chair

PHOENIX, A1|iz., Sept. 9-OP)
Political observers here today
believed the death of Claudius
Marcellus Zander, master Arizona
political Strategist and active can
didate for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor, may have cata-
pulled Sidney P. Osborn into the
Governors Chair.
Zanderforce lieutenants voted to
throw the organized zander voters
behind Osborn after the little
general of Arizona politics and
his pilot, Charley Crosse, of Phoe-
nix, crashed to their deaths while
landing in a cross wind for brief
appearance at Benson, Ariz.
The Zander leaders were report
ed to have wavered between sup
porting Osborn, a close personal
friend of the late politician, and
Sen. Bob Jones, with whom Zan-
der seemed to have been most in
sympathy with among his oppon-
ents.
Kerby had held almost undis-
puted lead in the contest for Tues
days primary. However, the al
lance of Osborn, a strong con-
tender, with the always highly
problematical backing of the shrewd

Kerby Rally In
Ncgales Set
For Sunday

Five well known ArizonanS will
speak on behalf of the candidacy
of James H.. Kerby, candidate for
governor, at a rally at the city
plaza Sunday night at 8 O'Clock.
The Sunday rally takes the place
of one originally scheduled for
today noon and cancelled yesterday
because of the funeral today of c..
M. Zander, gubernatorial candidate,
who was killed at Benson Tuesday.
The speakers appearing here
Sunday are Tom Glenn of Phoe-
nix, considered one of the best
orators in Arizona; Steve Ochoa
and w. F. Kimball of Tucson,
Democratic National Committee
man Writ G. Bowman, and Tracy
Bird, who is manager of the zan-
der Santa Cruz County Division of
the Kerby For Governor Club.
Relative to the cancellation of all
campaign activities in behalf of
Mr.. Kerby during the zander fu-
neral today, the Kerby For Gov
ernor Club OF Santa Cruz County
yesterday afternoon issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Funeral services for the late
Honorable G. M. zander will be
held in Phoenix Saturday after
noon at 2 O'Clock. In respect to the
memory of Mr.. zander the Hon.
orable James H. Kerby has re-
quested that all campaign activi-
ties in his behalf be suspended
throughout the state during the
funeral. Mr.. Zander and Mr.. Ker-
by were friends and co-workers OF
many years standing and Mr.. Ker-
by will remain in Phoenix to at
tend the funeral.
TN view of these circumstances
it becomes necessary to cancel the
Kerby rally and Mr.. Kerby's per-
sonal appearance for Nogales at
noon on Sept. 10. A Kerby rally
will be held, however, in the city
plaza park Sunday evening at 8
o'clock at which time a number
of prominent Arizona citizens will
speak in behalf of Mr.: Kerby's S
candidacy for the Democratic NOM
ination for governor"

Zander Had
3 Thrilling
Experiences

The third and final thrilling ex-
perience in an airplane proved IA
tai to C. M. zander and his pilot,
Charley Crosse of Phoenix.
Twice before the tragic ending
at Benson the pair had flirted with
death.
The first time was three weeks
ago next Monday when they were
compelled to make a forced land
ing near Superior and the second
was Monday while flying from No
gales to Tucson.
On the flight from here to Tue
son the plane was engulfed in a
wind and rainstorm. Unable to
climb above the storm, or to circle
it, Crosse, Phoenix restaurant op-
orator and amateur pilot, dove
through a small opening in the
clouds to find the plane miles off
it's course. Getting their bearings,
pilot and passenger continued into
Tucson, arriving in that city with
but g. few minutes fuel supply left
in the tanks.
Had No Fear
In his address at Nogales Sunday
night Mr.. Zander said he had no
fear of flying in an airplane. Il
can't believe there is any danger
in flying when I'm trying to do
something for Arizona" he stated.

PHOENIX, Sept. 9-UP)-The
Arizona political merry-go-round
was making it's final turn today
as candidates for big and little of
fices rushed about making their
last campaign appearances and
trying to garner any remaining
parts of voter crop expected to
exceed 100, 900 persons Tuesday.
Sure Bet
The only sure bet in the guber-
material primary arena was Re
publican Jerrie w. Lee, his party S
only candidate for the office. The
Democratic designation, tanta-
mount to election, was sought by
four candidates in what was almost
a scrub race.
Candidate James Kerby, who
