or Anton Cermak of Chicago and
Mrs. Joe Gill of Miami.
Mayor Cermak's condition was
reported "satisfactory" tonight.
Mrs. Gill underwent a second
blood transfusion in a desperate
effort to save her life.
Dr. Thomas' examination was
made independent of a contem
plated examination by a sanity
commission.
Judge E. C. Collins called Zan-
gara before him today, appointed !
counsel for his defense and or
dered him to reappear at 10
a. m. tomorrow for formal ar
raignment. His counsel's first step
was to request appointment of

Zangara, who says he has "beeg"
pains In his stomach and thinks
he should kill all presidents and
kings.

charge against Zangara would be

Zangara his face gaunt and
haunting came Into court un
shackled today. He wore a light
blue spotted shirt, open at the
throat, and white trousers and
shoes. He chatted with two depu
ties who stayed close by his side.
The courtroom was packed, but
there was no disturbance. Sheriff
Dan Hardie stationed 25 deputies
In the courtroom to see than Zan
gara received every protection.
Judge Collins kept court In ses
sion only five minutes. He ap

ments office at Minneapolis,
Minn., yesterday appointed the
following men: D. W. Eyre, presi

Applications will be taken at
the chamber of commerce here
early next week, it is expected,
br as soon as the necessary forms
arrive. Each application will be
passed upon by the loan com
mittee, then forwarded to Minne

Assurance that checks for ap
proved loans would be speedily re

en yesterday by Senator Charles
L. McNarr. who telegraphed tne
Salem chamber of commerce after
conferring with the national di
rector of crop production loans
at Washington. D. C.

Attempt to Drive Bootleg
Dealers out Visioned
In Explanation
Gradually gathering impetus
the past two weeks, the gasoline
war yesterday assumed decidedly
profitable proportions from the
motorists' point of view when the
price of prime grade motor fuel
was generally reduced to 12
cents per gallon by all of the
major companies. This represent
ed a four-cent drop from the quo
tations prevailing before the first
outbreak and was one and one-
half cents less than sub-grade
gas sold for early In the month.
Exactly where lay the cause of
the sudden cutting of prices,
dealers were uncertain in saying.
One version was that wholesalers
were getting rid of surpluses ac
cumulated throughout the dull
winter season. Another was that
determined effort was being made
to drive out the gasoline boot
leggers.
Whatever the cause of the war,
motorists, especially the farmers,
wsre taking advantage of the
cheap gasoline. The usual trek to
town by farmers bringing; fuel
drums to store up the low priced
gas was en In earnest yesterday.
They were purchasing the fuel
for as low as 10 cents a gallon

The League of Nations told the

"There never was any question
of Japan's accepting the report,'
he said. "To protect Manchukuo
we must possess the chief town of
Jehol. The only way to get peace
Is for the Chinese to withdraw
their troops from Jehol.
"We will tight if we have to. I

Close Contest Waged Upon
Measure, Deciding Vote
Is Cast by Speaker
With Speaker Snell casting the
deciding vote which killed the
measure, H. B. 161 lost in the
lower assembly late Friday after
90 minutes of debate had been
held. The bill would have taken
from the state Industrial accident
commission its present power to
contract with doctors and hospit
als as it sees fit for medical and
hospitalization care. The house
debate came on a minority against
a majority report, the former be
ing tor Indefinite postponement
of the bill. The minority report
prevailed 30 to 29.
Representatives Abrams fought
for the majority report. He said
the accident commission had too
much power in letting contracts,
which gave a small group or an
Individual In a county too much
business. He said service of in
ferior quality was often provided.
Abrams contended tbe letting of
contracts by the accident com
mission led to political power and
abuses.
Representative Hilton defended
the minority report and objected
to the bill as a device of the medi
cal profession seeking to secure
more trade for the average prac-
tioner at higher prices. Hilton

spring practice may be started,
adding that they have full con
fidence In Stiner's ability to lead
the Staters to successful gridiron
competition.
The board failed to give any
definite answer to the petitioners
other than to intimate that selec
tion from some 30 candidates
had not progressed to the final
stage, as yet, and that when de
cision is made that probably three
names will be submitted to Chan
