Hill Quintet to Try To
Check Indians’ Vic-
tory String
El
With the Mid-State title tucked
away for the second consecutive
year, Jenks Simmons' El Reno In-
dians are seeking to add two more
victories this week to windup the
loop schedule with a perfect rec-
ord.
Tuesday night the dangerous
Capitol Hill Redskins, that hand-
ed the state champion Indians a
setback in a post-season game last
season, will be out to mar the El
Reno record here.
Earlier in the season the In-
dians went on a scoring spree to
trample the Hill boys 46-23 on the
Redskin liardwood. The capital
team, however, turned in some im-
pressive victories since that time
including a close triumph ovci
Classen.
Guthrie There Friday
Should the revamped Indians
| bump off Capitol Hill again they
should nave little trouble in dis-
posing of Guthrie Friday night
there.
El Reno victories this week would
bring the total of Mid-Stale
triumphs for the champions to 11
in a row. Classen, the nearest
competitor, has bowed to defeat
I three times, two of which were
administered by the Indians.

.Washington, Feb. 20 PPi—The 13-
year-old constitutional amendment
for national prohibition went $rck
to the states for a new decision
today on a 289 to 121 vote in the
house of representatives.
All Oklahoma representatives but
Congressman Hastings opposed the
re-submission.
Duplicating the senate action last
week when it favored submission
of a repeal amendment to state
conventions by a 63 to 23 vote, the
house acted before being in session
more than a hour and a half,
cheered on by part of the galleries
and in the face of ominous silence
on the part or others there.
The latter represented many of
the prohibition organizations which
served notice at once to the Anti-
Saloon League that the issues
“would be fought to a finish in
state capitals."
The vote was 15 more than the
two-thirds required.
Speaker John N. Garner was
greeted with cheers and applause
on announcing the outcome.
Immediately, Chairman Summers
of the judiciary committee and
others moved for a federal law
setting up the machinery for state
conventions. A hard road was in
front for this effort, however, as
Mr. Garner and others on both
sides of the capital have expressed
the view that calling of the con-
vention is a state function.
Thirty-two Democrats and eighty
nine Republicans voted against the
resolution; 179 Democrats and the
one Farmer-Labor member and 109
Republicans voted for it.
On December 5, the house voted
down the Garner proposition 272 to
144 six short of the two-thirds ma-
jority necessary.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 20 (/P) —
Gov. W. H. Murray today asked
the legislature to seek the de-
portation of Mark Kleeden who
gave sensational testimony before
the oil investigating committee of
the senate.
In a special message to both
houses, the governor recommended
passage of a resolution asking fed-
eral authorities to deport Klee-
den, said to be a Canadian, “as
an undesirable citizen."
Kleeden was one of the wit-
nesses who corroborated a reputed
dictograph conversation In a hotel
room here in which Ray C. Walk-
er, distant kinsman of the Gover-
nor's wife, was quoted as referring
to "protecting Cicero,"
Denies Statements
Walker, who admittedly handled
illegal oil deals, here denied he
made any of the statements at-
tributed to him and likewise said
he had never paid anything to
Col. Cicero Murray, proratlon of-
ficer.
In his message, the governor
said Kleeden was under a federal
Indictment at Fort Worth, Texas,
on nine counts of mail fraud and
that he was convicted in San An-
tonio of mall fraud and escaped
going to the federal penitentiary
by paying a $4,000 fine.
Murray also declared that neg-
otiations of Kleeden and others to
break down laws were "unwhole-
some to the public in general."
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Bleakmore,
of Edmond, were El Reno visi-
tors Saturday afternoon.

Native Of New York
Mrs. Maher was born in New
York City, N. Y. She was a grad-
uate of the Northwestern Univer-
sity In Chicago. III., where she
also took a special course at the
Loyola University. Later she
taught lor 18 years In the Plom-
mondon school, one of the largest
public schools In Chicago.
During her residence there Mrs.
Maher was one of the organizers
of the Teachers Pension associa-
tion of that city. In 1906 she took
o trip around the world, which was
the prize won in a popularity con-
test among the members of the
faculty of the Chicago public
schools. Mrs. Malier was also very
active there In the Red Cross dur-
ing the World War.
Mr. and Mrs. Maher were mar-

Miami, Fla., Feb. 20 (/P)—Giusep-
pe zangara today was sentenced
to 8u years in prison for his at-
tack reo. lo on President-elect
nooseven, Miss Marguarlte Kruis,
Hussell Caldwell and William
Sinot.
nc was sentenced to 20 years
on eacn of the tour charges which
were attempts to murder, getting
me maximum sentence in each
case.
zangara may yet be tried for mur-
der. ms pleas today did not cov-
er the cases of Mayor Anton Cer-
mak of Chicago and Mrs. Joe H.
Gill of Miami who are in a hos-
pital here.
Say Judge Is Stingy
After the sentence was pro-
nounced, Zangara said, "Judge, how
much you give me?” Zangara held
up his finger, eight of them.
"Yes", said the Judge.
"Oh, judge, don't be stingy. Four
times twenty is eighty. Give me a
hundred years."
He laughed as he was hastily
led from the court by two dep-
uties. He was taken back to the
county Jail.
Zangara was sentenced after he
pleaded guilty to the four charges
and after he had reiterated to the
Judge he was sorry his attempt on
the life of Roosevelt was unsuc-
cessful.
Patients Better
The most cheering news since
they were shot, came from the
bedside of both Mayor Cermak and
Mrs. Gill. Dr. Frederick Tice,
Chicago, heart specialist who ar-
rived this morning and went im-
mediately into consultation with
attending physicians said:
"I believe we may look forward
to the full recovery of the Mayor."
Mrs. Gill’s husband said her re-
covery "is Just as rapid as wo
could expect. Today's condition is
very encouraging."
Overrules Motion
Previous to his guilty plea, the
court overruled a motion by de-
fense council to quash the charges
against Zangara growing out of
the shooting of Miss Kruis and
Caldwell. He also overruled a rul-
ing for postponement of the trial.
"The man is unquestionably
sane." Judge Collins said as he
left the bench when the court
recessed.
Disdaining any attempt to plead
that he was insane as he walked
up to the president-elect's car last
Wednesday night and wounded
four men when his aim at Roose-
velt was diverted, Zangara proud-
!.\ maintained he was sane and told
Judge Collins he could do what he
wished In the case.
