Mr. Roosevelt had just landed after bis fishing cruise, had made a brief talk to the thousands In the park and was being greeted by personal friends when the anarchist, identified as Giuseppe Zangara of llackensack, N. J., fired at him at a distance of In the great excitement 20 feet. and turmoil Mr. Roosevelt remained calm and insisted on taking Mr. Cermak to a hospital in his car. He remained over night on the yacht Nourmahal and visited the wound ed mayor next morning before leaving by train for New York. All the world was shocked by the attempted assassination and messages of congratulation on his escape poured In on Mr. Roosevelt, one of the first received being from President Hoover. Mrs. Roosevelt heard the news as she returned home from a club where she had made an address. Her only comment on learning that her husband was uninjured was: "I am thankful." She did not change her plans, which took her next day to Utlca to speak at a home and farm week cel- ebration. Secret service operatives In Miami said Zangara, the assassin, was a member of an anarchist group at Paterson N. J., and that he declared he had no accomplices, acting entirely on his own Initiative.

Pittman this, according to Mr. Pittman, would operate to the advantage of the United States ; would enable England to avoid transfer of gold to meet the next war debt payment and would make possible acceptance by Great Britain of silver In payment of a large sum due from India before the June war debt payment. The Pittman bill would authorize the acceptance by this government of any sura up to $WO,ooo,xX) due from Great Britain In silver at current market value. Its purpose was explained as follows by Mr. Pittman : "The government of India owes Great Britain approximately $S."v 010,000. It has been reported with some authority that India desires to pay this debt to Great Britain with silver. The acceptance by the United States of $74.!t.'O,0O0 worth Of silver at the world market price of silver of approximately 23 cents an ounce, which Is probably lower than It will ever be again, would not only be profitable to the United by with President Hoover.
