Gangrenous Pneumonia Set in to Complicate Other Results of Shooting at Miami
FAMILY IS WITH HIM
Special Grand Jury Indicts
Guiseppe Zangara for
First Degree Murder
Miami, Fl. March 6- (UP)-Antor J. Cermak, "Tony" from the coal mills who rose to be mayor of the second city, died today from the effects of a bullet fired by an assassin who hoped to strike down Franklin D. Roosevelt. Homicide ten-day battle of the fighting came to a quiet end at 6:35 a.m.
At the bedside when Meyer Cornald died were his three daughters, his brother, Joseph, his sister, Mrs. John Kailal, and Vivian Graham, 17, his granddaughter, who held his hand for hours during the night. Mrs. Clara Beesley, Cermak's secretary, Dr. Friedrich Tieen, one of the staff of consult- ward, Dr. R. C. Woodward, hospital superintendent, also was in the room.
All through the night Cermak had been binking slowly. Physicians, friends, and family alike recognized that another of the amazing rallies with which he has inspired those around him became a celebration of his Gangrenous pneumonia had set in to complicate the colitis and heavy strain resulting from the bullet which cut through his abdomen, his lungs and liver, and lodged in his spine.
Less than an hour after he died the mayor's body was taken from the hospital. Arrangements were made fordeal with a special train for Chicago at 10:15 a.m.
President Expresses Sorrow
The state of Florida made its first legal move today to bring Guiselle Zangara to trial for first degree murder. A coroner's jury of six men terminated an inquest shortly before 2 p.m. with the verdict that "Anton J. Cermak came to death as a result of a bullet fired by Guiselle Zangara."
LAWRENCE. KANSAS. MONDAY. MARCH 6. 1933
His later life was shaped by the trend of politics and it is as a politician he will be longest remembered.
Anton J. Cermak rose to political power and wealth from an immigrant home in the coal mining hamlet of Braidwood, Ill.
Washington, March 6—(UP)—President Roosevelt today expressed his norrow over the death of Mayor Cermalin at Miami. "It is needless to say that the news of his death affects me very deeply and very personally," he said.
War on Gangs
Cermak came to the peak of his political power in the last few years. His voice was a powerful factor in the Democratic National convention in Chicago last summer. Cermak's career labor lasts through more than 30 years but it was only in the last three that he roar to a dominant position in national affairs. On April 7, he won by a landslide, decisively defeating William Hale Thompson, the colorful "Big Bill" that "nobody could beat."
"Tony" Cermak went to work in the mine when he was 11.
Cermak at once made war on the gangs. He made personal trips to New York to borrow money for relief of his financially-crippled home city. He reduced expenses to a level unmatched in Chicago in years. He evolved plans for payment of back salaries to the teachers and city employees.
He drove a mule through the gloomy entries and dreamed of a day when he could visit Chicago. Although the education he got in the little school at Brudwick was only a preparation, he added to it by reading at home.
One day he said good-bye to his father and mother, swung a bandana over his head, slid his shoes on his shoulder and set off, like a modern Dick Whittington, for Chicago. His first job in the city, he later was, to rule, as a "tow boy" on the streets.
Strenuous Life
It was a strenuous life and sometimes a lonely one. It happened that Mary Horejas, a milliner then, 17, ate in the restaurant where young Cermak did She was as lonely as he was. They were attracted to each other and the youth determined to marry. But he knew he could not support a wife on

"The first sidération is to meet payroll," Woodin said. He explained that progress was being made to supply script or other forms of emergency currency, and that a plan for operation under this system will be put in place by the end of the business day today. Woodin said that no federal clearing house certificates or script would be issued. That will be a matter for local issuance, he said, but the federal government will supervise it and provide documentation for different parts of the country will be drafted today, he said.
"Under the proclamation issued late last night by President Roosevelt, we have unlimited powers," Woodin said, "plans and ideas have been advanced."

Local Merchants Report Business Goes on As Usual
Most Lawrence Stores Are Accepting Checks If No Change Is Needed
CREDIT IS IMPORTANT
All eating houses reported that business went on yesterday and today normally. The medium of exchange for food seems to be credit, as some are just marking the price of the goods while others are taking checks.
Business must go on as usual and so far has. This is the report of Lawrence merchants to the Kansan this morning. Most firms are taking checks for any purity that does not have to give change in return.
Filling stations did not report a decrease that was out of way. Due to the bad weather yesterday, there was a drop in regular ice but this was entirely attributed to the incidents in the weather.
So on down the list, the student who has credit can still obtain it. Almost every firm in Lawrence stands ready to take student checks but not of large amounts because of the change because they do not want to exhaust their cash on hand.
POSTAL BANKING CONTINUES
Money Order and Savings Departments Remain Open
Both the postal money order, and the postal savings departments of the Lawrence postoffice are functioning as usual, C. B. Hoxford, postmaster, said this morning. Until orders to the contrary are received from the postmaster general, Mr. Hosford said, this condition will continue.
"Deposits in the postal savings department have exceeded withdrawals the past day or two," Mr. Hoard said, effective, we have not depleted cash, but even with the 5 per cent limitation on withdrawals we could have paid our depositors. We also have cash orders in any reasonable amount.
"Even if the postoffice department should order cessation of payment of deposits in the savings department, the depositors could rest assured that their money was safe since the postoffice does not deposit money in any bank unless that bank has put up government bonds as security."
The collection and delivery of mail is, of course, going on as usual.

"Some members of the student body may encounter temporary difficulties because of wint of cash. Credit can be denied in such cases." I wish it make it known, on behalf of the entire faculty, that if by reason of the mortorium any student in the School of Law finds himself or herself in a legal issue, life, any member of the faculty will be glad to lend him credit by guaranteeing his demand note."
Robert McNair Davis, Dean.
