COMPANY North 4423 CERMAK SUCCUMBS TO MIAMI WOUND Special Train Is Ordered to y Take Mayor's Body Back to Chicago. (Continued From First Page.) And Mrs. Frank Jirka. another daugh ter, added. "He fought so hard. He didn't want to die." Others at Beddde. Others at the bedside included Alder man Edward F. Kelly, South Park com missioner at Chicago, who made the first announcement of the mayor's death: Dr. Frederick Tice, Dr. R. C. Woodward, superintendent of the hos pital; Mrs. Walter Wright of Chicago, Mrs. Clara Beesley, secretary to the mayor; Joe Cermak, a brother; Mrs. John Kallal, sister, and Dr. Frank Jirka. Mayor Cermak had rallied previously after three crises in his condition. Colitis, threatened heart failure and pneumonia beset him in quick succes sion just as his physicians had begun to believe he would recover from the bullet wound. Physicians still were optimistic Satur day. but that night gangrene appeared in the right lung, the one grazed by Zangara's bullet, and he grew steadily weaker. A third blood transfusion was performed yesterday in an attempt to save his life and an attempt to check the gangrene was made, but the mayor did not respond. He lapsed Into a coma last night and shortly after mid night physicians said death was a mat ter of hours. The mayor died peacefully. He never recovered from his coma. Father Sid ney Morrison of St. Bartholomew's Catholic Church, Chicago, had been praying at Cermak's bed for a time be , fore he died. Meanwmie, another victim or zan gara's bullets lay critically ill in the same hoepital—Mrs. Joe H. Gill, Miami society woman, whose abdominal wound has become Infected. The Cermak cortege will leave a fu neral home here at 5:15 p.m., today, attended by uniformed units of the Mahi Shrine Temple and the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps. George E. Hussey. representing Mayor R. B. Gautier in arranging for the spe cial train, said more than 75 Chi cagoans would accompany the body home. Mayor Gautier. members of the Miami City Commission, City Manager L. L. Lee and heads of the city's fra ternal orders and clubs will be hon orary pallbearers. Flags at Half Mast. Gov. Dave Sholtz, in a telegraphic order, designated Hussey as his personal representative to extend the State's condolences to the bereaved family. Cermak was an honorary member of the Miami American Legion Post Drum and Bugle Corps. Flags were at half mast on city build ings after the news of Cermak's death spread through the city. Colitis appeared first to complicate Cermak's condition, and as this began to clear up the mayor's heart showed signs of failure. Then pulmonary troubles developed and hope for his re covery waned Glucose injections, sed atives, stimulants, blood transfusions and an oxygen tent all were used in the desperate attempt to save his life. The mayor, growing steadily weaker, weathered the early crises almost by sheer power of a will to get well and a stout heart. Mayor Ceimak was shot the night of February 15 by Giuseppe Zangara. a naturalized Italian bricklayer, who tried to take the life of President-elect Roosevelt at a public reception In Bay Front Park. Each of the five bullets he fired into the crowd around the Roose velt car found a mark, but none touched the President-elect, as spectators de flected the assassin's aim by seizing his arm. The Chicago mayor was struck in the right side above the abdomen and the bullet, of .32 caliber, punctured the lower part of the fight lung and came to rest against the spine. Given Speedy Trial, Even as physicians worked over Mayor Cermak he smiled gamely and told Mr. Roosevelt "I'm glad it was me and not you." Zangara was given a speedy trial, pleaded guilty defiantly and received sentences totaling 80 years. The Initial cases brought against him involved as sault with attempt to kill Russell Cald well of Coconut Grove. Fla.; Miss Mar garet Kruis of Newark. N. J., and Wil liam Sinnott, New York policeman, the three least seriously wounded victims, and President-elect Roosevelt. Charges in the shooting of Mayor Cermak and Mrs. Gill were held up pending the outcome of their condi tions. and authorities made it known they Intended to charge Zangara with murder if either died. The three less seriously wounded vir tually are recovered. Zangara s hearing was a bizarre occa sion. He refused to plead insanity and declined to have lawyers, though three finally were appointed by the court to represent him. From tne witness stand he told how he had determined to kill President-elect Roosevelt—with an $8 pistol—because his stomach hurt him constantly and because he hated capi talists. As he was led from the court room after his sentence, which meant a life time In jail, he shouted, "Don't be stingy, judge! Give me a hundred yeajs!" He said he did not mean to shoot Cermak and the others, but expressed no remorse. He had one gruesome re gret. his attorneys said—that he failed to kill Mr. Roosevelt. Overthrew "ThoiflpBonism." Mayor Cermak capped a long and cumulatively successful political career by attaining the Chicago may oralty with the 1931 overthrow of "Thompsonism." • The story of the man who became Chicago's Democratic 1933 "world's fair mayor" concurrently with the city's repudiation of William Hale Thompson, is a repetition of the traditional Amer ican saga of an Immigrant boy fighting his way to business and political emi nence. Cermak's rise to political power was by no means meteoric, but it was steady, duplicating his growth In social stat ure from a humble birth in Bohemia to a position of power in America's second largest city. Milestones of his youth and young manhood Indicate the drive and force which carried Cermak to success. He was earning his own living at the age of 11; fired from a job for asking for more pay when 16; in business for him self at 19; married and a home-owner at 21. Born the son of a miner May 9, 1873. at Kladno, a small town about 50 miles from Prague in what was then Bo hemia, now Czechlslovakla, Cermak was brought to the United States when he waj less than a year old. The family settled in the coal mining community of Braidwood, 111., and as a boy Cermak drove mine mules or swung doors on the various levels. Summers he worked on Illinois farms. At 17 he trudged off to Chicago, finding employment as tow-boy for the street car company and saving enough to embark in a modest business for himself—hauling away waste wood of the International Harvester Co. and selling it to poor families. Attended Night School. He supplemented his country-town schooling with night school work during this period, continuing on through night business college. Within five years he had run his wood-hauling project into a prospering coal and teaming busings employing 40 men, and had bpguifwceumulatlng a few corner lots which in another Mayor Cermak and Assassin GUISSEPPI ZANGARA. decade led to establishment of a real estate business that demanded all his time except that which he was giving, now in steadily increasing measure, to politics. Prom real estate he eventually stepped into banking, establishing two "home loan association" banks. Gaining political recognition first as a leader of young people of his own nationality in the Chicago stockyards district. Cermak worked his way through the usual minor elective offices until he became president of the Board of Commissioners of Cook County, about two-thirds of whose people are residents of Chicago. The board had a Republican major ity, and faced a deficit of $2,000,000. i Cermack persuaded the majority to adopt his program, wiped out the defi cit. and in his tenure of eight years, built up a system of forest preserves and public parks fringing the city on the west from north to south. He was also credited with making the county hospital, the tuberculosis hospital and children's hospital, among the mo6t complete of their kind in the world. As mayor he was called upon to act as official host to the two national po litical conventions of 1932 and to try to bring order out of chaos in the city's finances. His efforts along these lines almost exhausted him and he was forced to take a trip abroad. He went to his native Czechoslovakia, but re ceived so much attention there that he had, perforce, to go to Austria for the rest which he sought. Cermak's wife, who was Mary Horejs of Chicago, died three years before he attained the mayoralty. They had three daughters. CHICAGO PLANS TRIBUTE. Council to Arrange Funeral Tomorrow and Meet Train. CHICAGO, March 6 OP).—Plans for the funeral of Mayor Anton Cermak will be made at a special session of the City Council Tuesday. Burial will be in the Bohemian Na tional Cemetery, on the northwest side of Chicago, the burial place of Mrs. Cermak. It is understood that ar rangements already have been made for a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister and a rabbi to participate in the serv ices. The entire City Council is to meet the special train bearing the body of the mayor when it arrives Wednesday morning. Flags stood at half-staff over the Loop buildings in mourning for a pub lic official for the second time this year —a month of mourning was observed after the passing of Calvin Coolidge— and drapes of black and purple hung over the portals of the city hall. Action Delayed. Action toward selection of a mayor pro tem will be deferred until after Mayor Cermak's burial, city officials said. Corporation Counsel Sexton said a special City Council meeting would be held to consider the question of a successor after the funeral, which is expected to be Friday. , A haggard, sad^yed group of men— close personal friends and political associates of Anton J. Cermak—ended their incessant vigil at the mayors office in the city hall today when news of Cermak's death came. It was indicated that a special meet ing of the City Council would be called later In the day to make arrangements for Cermak's funeral. The Nation's second city went into mourning for Its first foreign-born mayor. Aldermen and others high In city affairs looked at one another, mumbled a few words and gradually filed out of the mayor's office. A few tears were manifest. Kept Lont Vigil. Almost constantly since Cermak was struck down by a bullet from the pistol of the assassin, they have maintained their watch. Tiiey kept in close contact with the Miami hospital by telephone. "And he died alter such a game fight," seemed to be the universal com ment. Citizens took the death calmly, quietly, expressing sympathy for the family of the man they elected to head Chicago's government. Alderman Henry Sonnenschein sat In the mayor's own chair when the death message came. In the office with him were Corporation Counsel William H. Sexton, Thomas J. Bowler, president of the Sanitary District Board; Paul V. Collanni, sanitary district trustee; Ben jamin Lindhelmer, chairman of the State Commerce Commission; Aldermen Joseph Ross, John Toman and others. Message* Pouring In.

Cermak's death at Miami, Fla., was followed immediately by an outpouring of comment attesting the high regard his associates held for him and the grief they felt at his passing. Tnose who sat through the night long vigil in Mayor Cermak's office as their chief's life slowly ebbed away in Miami from the revages caused by the bullet fired by Giuseppe Zangara were the first to speak.

MIAMI, Fla., March 6.—Mayor Cer mak of Chicagoj».who died early today, and four others were wounded the night of February 15. " Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Presi dent-elect, just returned from a fishing cruise, had made a brief address to a crowd gathered in Bay Front Park at 1 Miami. Mayor Cermak and others pressed around the Roosevelt car. Suddenly there were five shots. Pive persons were wounded, some doubled up in pain. The crowd was thrown into confusion. Giuseppe Zangara. who said later, "I shoot all Presidents." had stood on a bench and fired five times before he was pounced upon. Mr Roosevelt waved his arm. "Tell them I'm all right." he shouted to those near him, and his car started. Told Driver to Stop. "I looked around.-' he related after ward. "and saw Mayor Cermak doubled up. I told the chauffeur to stop. He did, about 15 feet from where we start ed. The secret service men shouted to him to 'get out of the crowd.' The ' chauffeur started again and I stopped him again, this time at the corner of the band stand. "Looking back I saw Cermak being carried along and »e pvrt him in our car. He was alive, but I was afraid he wouldn't last. I got my hand on his pulse and found none. He was on the seat with me and I had my left arm around him. He slumped forward. A detective from Miami, standing on the running board on that side of the car, was leaning over him. He said after we had gone a couple of blocks he was afraid Cermak would not last. "I, too. was fearful. Just then Cer mak straightened up and I got his pulse. That was surprising. For three [ blocks I actually believe his heart had . stopped "I held him all the way to the hos pital. and hi* pulse constantly improved. It seemed like 25 miles Xo the hospital. I talked to him all the way. I remem ber I said: 'Tony, don't move—keep quiet—it won't hurt you if you keep quiet and remain perfectly still.' " Woman Spoiled Aim. The heroine of the shooting was Mrs. W. F. Cross ot Miami. She gave the following account: "When the President-elect stood up to make his speech so many stood up in front of me that I couldn't see. so I stood up on the benches. This man <Zangaja> stood up with me and the bench almost folded up I looked around. Then I saw he had a pistol and he began shooting toward the Pres ident-elect. I grabbed his hand which held the pistol and pushed it up in the air and called for help Tom • Armour also grabbed his hand and we held it up in the air so he couldn't shoot any more. By that time some men were choking him." Zangara. who said his only regret was that he failed to vill Roosevelt, ac counted later for his >ad aim by saying "that woman" held his arm and the bench shook under him.

Stephan, Manager, < ratomac MM Legal Precedent Is Sought; Legislature May Act to Solve Problem. Br the Associated Presi. CHICAGO, March 6.—A city stunned by the death of Its chief executive to-; day thumbed legal precedent with small success, seeking a mode of selecting a new mayor to All out the unexpired term of Anton Cermak. Apparently political leaders were in agreement that there were three modes of approach to providing the Nation's second city with executive authority in the emergency. They were: Choosing of a mayor by special elec tion. , Nailing an acting mayor from mem bership of the City Council. Permitting the "mayor's cabinet" to perform executive duties. The law governing the present emer gency. City Hall attaches said, states that when a vacancy occurs when the unexpired term Is one year or more the office shall be filled by a special elec tion. Cermak's term would not have expired until 1935. Such an election could not be held, without Intervention of the Illinois Legislature, until mid June because of the required 40 days, between a primary and an election. Legislation Needed. However. In the event a special elec tion is resorted to. it was expected the Legislature would be asked to approve a measure to hold the election within at least 30 days. Because of the pre ponderance of the Democratic majority in the Legislature there was little ques tion In the minds of leaders that the Legislature would agree to the request to enable the city speedily to select a new mayor. The assassination of Mayor Carter N. Harrison, sr.. in 1893 gave a precedent for the second proposed method of se lecting Mayor Cermak's successor. At that time a member of the City Coun cil was elected by the council to fill out the term. Should this method be adopted now. council members said, it was likely that either John S. Clark, chairman of the Council's Finanoe Committee, or Alderman James B. Bowler, chairman of the Transportation Committee, who was with the mayor when Gluseppi Zangara's bullet struck him, would be come mayor. Clark Is a veteran in the council and long has been promi nent In the city's affairs. Friend* In "Cabinet." If the mayor's "cabinet" were desig nated by the Council to hold the ex ecutive power. Corporation Counsel Wil liam H Sexton, City Controller M. S. Szymczak. the commissioner of public works, and Alderman Henry Sonnen schein. long a friend, confidant and secretary to Mayor Cermak. would form the body to direct Chicago's destiny. Last Summer the four, under author ity from the mayor, acted for him while he was vacationing in Europe. A new commissioner of public works, Os car E. Hewitt, has gone into office since that time. The ordinance under which a mem ber of the council was elected to fill out Mayor Harrison's term no longer is in force. Council members, however, were of the opinion a similar ordinance speedily could be re-enacted If party leaders deemed such a method best.
