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. -

Morgan Halts Threat.
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.

aeronautlcally minded quarterback,
took the Beavers of Oregon State for
a brief trip through the ozone here
today end then cracked them up in
a 10 to 0 forced landing.
The brief aerial trip which down
ed the determined Beavers came late
in the second quarter when Mohler
faded back to his forty yard line nd
turned loose with a pass of forty
yards which Ford (Flivver) Palmer
snared on the 32-yard line to score.
That constituted the only touchdown
of the long afternoon.
The Trojans did manage to add
three points to their collection on one
of their several trips toward the Ore
gon State goal line when Ernie Smith
place kicked a field goal from the
14-yard stripe.
Blancone was the best ball carrier
for the invaders, passing' well, punt
ing occasionally, and running with
the ball for a 5.2 yard average.
For the most part, the game was
a line battle with the Trojans ex

Man Whose Enemies .Tried
Often To Slay Is Pneu
mdnia Victim 'Ghosts'
Haunt Last Hour Alive.
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.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct
8 I've been flying, train rid
ing, automobiling, horseback
and buggy riding 'over Texas
for 33 years and I 've never seen
a tenth of it. If it had. been in
Europe eighty wars would have
been fought over it. There is
single ranches here bigger than
France, counties bigger than
England, saddle horse pastures
big as Alsace Lorraine. The
lakes of Switzerland would be
buffalo wallows in Texas.
It's located between Mexico
and the U. S. to keep Mexico
from annexing the United
Stater. It's so far to town that
the cowboys ularted in to vote
for "Teddy," arrived in time
to register for "Franklin." Its
"Vatican" is the town of
Uvalde. Its pope is John Nanc?
Garner. Its sole industry is in
ternal politics. It's so big that
no one governor can handle it t
they have to have a man and
his wife. It's the only state
where a Republican has to have
a passport to enter.

fornia for a telephone booth
down here. ,
