JBUNE Comment on the Day 's News By FRANK JENKINS T All MANY drops Jimmy Walker politely Into the discard, and of ten John P. O'Brien u Us nominee lor mayor of New York City. What does that mean? Well, It mesne that Roosevelt has cracked the whip, and that the Tammany tiger has decided. Instead of spitting and growling, to 'do Its part of the act submissively, FRANCIS H. S1BSON, of New York. Is the new president of the American Bankers association, which has Just closed Us annual convention at Los Angeles. In a speech accept ing his new office, he saya: The worst of the depression, In any opinion, la past. The elements of Improvement noted thus far are the forerunners of more tangible re covery that will gradually raise busi ness activity, earnings and employ ment to the levels that our natural and human resources give us the right to regard as normal." WHAT does he mean by "elements of Improvement noted thus far? He means. In all probability, that people are feeling better In their minds, displaying more confidence in the future and beginning to get back a certain measure of the courage they have lost In the hard years since 1829. These things haven't yet put more money In people's pockete, which la all that can make business better for the general run of us, but people have to feel better In their minds before there can be dollars and cents Improvement In business. You can't get anywhere, you know, If you are licked In your mind. THIS hopeful view of the future la reflected by George F. Roberts, economist of the National City Bank, of New York, who says In his October letter: "The past month has brought fur ther evidence of emergence from the period of panic and credit strain, and likewise Indications of the expansion of business activity for which every, one haa been so anxiously waiting.' THESE economists and big business men are Inclined to use such big words that ordinary people don't know what they are talking about. Bo perhaps It will be well to trans- late: What Mr. Roberta means Is that people aren't so badly scared about money as they were a while back and because they a;e getting over their money fright they are going ahead and doing business upon a somewhat larger scale. That means more employment and better prices for wftat people have to sell. BUT he warns us'not to expect too much TOO BOON. When you have been very, very sick for a long, long time, you don't get right up out of bed and start running at top speed. You take It easy for a while, going first for a little walk In the sunshine and extending your activities slowly as you gain strength. In the course of time, as you regain your normal vigor, you get back to your normal way of living and working. It is much the ssme with business, which -has been very, very sick for nearly three years. It will have to go slowly at first, even it It la feel ing much better than It did. If It tries to do TOO MUCH be fore It gets back Its normal strength It will have a relapse. So we must be patient. IR. ROBERTS tells us that the uncertainties that are always connected with a Presidential cam paign are probably causing people to hesitate about going ahead at the present moment, preferring to wait and see what happens In November. But, he adds. NEITHER PARTY haa endorsed policies that give occasion for alarm, and Indeed their differ ences are MINOR. That Is to say, It wont make such an awful lot of difference, In his Judgment, who is elected. - TTHIS writer, aa olten stated In this column, believes that Hoover will make a better President than (Continued on Page Pour) P.

By Frank G, Gorrle (Associated Press Sports Writer) MULTNOMAH STADIUM, Port land, Ore.. Oct, 8. (AP) Battling to a breath-taking scoreless tie on neu tral grounds in this stadium today the University of Washington and the University of Oregon decided vir tually no! ling as to either team's chances of winning the Pacific coast conference football champonshlp this year, Washington showed the moat pow er in spite of the fact that Coach Jimmy Phelan elected to use his second and third string backfleld men most of the three periods, Huskies Threaten Knrly T,he Huskies drove to Oregon's 21 yard line in the first period and battered down to the Webfoot's 8 yard line early in the third quarter but these two stabs were the extent of the scoring chances of the game. Oregon's only offensive stand came with the daring running of Leigh ton Gee, when the shifty halfback rolled off dashes of 18 and 18 yards to carry the Webfoots to Washing ton's 30-yard line late In the third period. Mlkulak Halts Drive Although stopped cold most of the time on his smashing efforts at the Husky forward line, Mike Mikulak, pile-driving Oregon fullback, was credited with halting the only march of the contest that looked like a possible touchdown for the Huskies. Walter Hanson, substitute .half back, started the ball rolling for Washington vlth a spectacular 31 yard dash around left end. At least a half-dozen Webfoots got their hands on him but he wiggled away each time to reach the Oregon 28- yard line. Wolcott rammed right tackle for three and Hanson added another at center. Back went the Oregon ians on the next play when Hanson dropped bsck and w.hlpped a 16-yard pass to Bill Smith, ball-snatching end. to give Washington a first down on the Webfoots 8-yard line. Fans In Frenzy Just as the close to 10,000 Wash ington fans who had Journeyed to the game were yelling themselves hoarse, visualizing the first score against Oregon in five years, Wol cott tucked the pigskin under his arm and started to buck right tackle. The giant Mlkulak guessed right and smashed the Husky head-on. Wolcott bounced back a couple of yards and the ball slipped out of his arm. Several gridders from both sides rushed for the pigskin but Capt. Bill Morgan with his right hand bandaged up in splints smoth ered the ball with his big frame and the last opportunity for a touch down was spent. (Continued on Page Eight) SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 8.

By RODERICK ORANT (Associated Press staff Writer) CHICAOO, Oct. 8. (AP) Frank MoErlane, ruthless, mad killer who cheated the enemies that tried to kill In his own way, died a natural death today. Prosecutors of two states had tried to put him away for murder. His common law wife had shot and wounded him. Gunmen sought him out in hla hos pital bed, but their bullets failed. Pneumonia Victim Pneumonia took him at last, in a hospital down at Beardstown. Ills., but a peaceful death was denied him even though tt was natural. In hla last hours he struggled violently, screamed in his delirium fearing, perhaps, the foes of the underworld In which he had lived a violent life; fought against four strong men who endeavored to quiet him in his cot, and knocked out a nurse at his bed side. For 31 years he had been feared and hated as a cruel, wanton slayer. He had been the Inventor of the gangland death ride, had helped en gineer a famous jail-break, but had never been convicted of murder. Nearly fifteen years ago he figured In a sensational escape from the old Oook county Jail. A year later McErlane was caught but the penalty was only three years rot conspiracy of which he served two before the parole came. Shot By Woman It waa a woman who first "got" him. Marlon Miller, his common law wife, protested his advances with bullet. The gangster, by this time listed aa a "public enemy." with the other notorious leader of Chicago gangdom, went to the hospital with a broken leg. He was lying there, the leg In a cast suspended from pulleys with weights holding the bone In place, when vis itors came. He must have been ex pecting them. A fusillade of shots cracked out, bringing screams of terror from the patients. Three bullets found their mark in McErlane's body, nearly fin lahlng him, before he felt under his pillow for the pistol he had ready; whipped It out and sent his attackers away. One year ago today his wife wis found dead of four bullet wounds in their car. Witnesses had seen him with her the night before. FIREFIGHTER DIES PORTLAND, Ore..
