I ' " Tribune Reporter Shot By Gangster Chicago, June 9.?An assassin's bullet canceled "Jake" Lingle'a assignment as gangland reporter for the Chicago Tribune today. The afternoon newspaper* were still churning out the story_of an early morning murder, when a gunman crept up behind the veteran newspaper man as he strode through the underground tunnel toward the Randolph street Illinois Central terminal, under Michigan boulevard, near the public library. His pistol barked. Lingle fell dead, a bullet through the back of his skull. In the panic of the scores of commuters, the killer dropped his weapon, fled to Michigan boulevard, vaulted a fence 'and was gone, Lingle, 40, was police and crime reporter for The Tribune for IK years and an intimate alike of -police ( hiefs ami hoodlums. A year ago he was the guest of "Scarface" A! Cat) g . pone at his Miami estate. For years he had known William F. Russell, police commissioner, and the detective bureau heads. Last week Lingle was sent out to get the "in" of the latest succession of gang -murders?his own the 11th in ten days attributed to a hoodlum's t rigger. Last week the gossip sifted down the line that Lingle was marked to go. He had not been threatened so far as members of his family knew. Tomorrow he was to have gone with his wife and two chUdrm^to a newly purchased vacation home at I.?ong Reach, Mich. If he was slain because he knew too much, he was the second of that ilk to fall in recent months. Revolvers spat death sonve weeks ago to Julius Rosenheim, who had stayed too long in that dangerous halfworld between the gangster and the tipster?tipster for the crime commission and the press. Commissioner' Russell and John Stege, chief of detectives, took personal charge of the investigation and ordered an immediate round up of hoodlums. A squad was dispatched to the Washington Park race track to gather in every known gangster. Lingle was bound for the races, as were scores of others in the subway leading t<> the Illinois Central special trains, when his slaver ?apparently trailing him there from his usual luncheon place in a "loop" restaurant felled him. The revolver found at the ?cene was an old model .45 caliber weapon with hut one bullet discharged. The <econd week of intensive gang retribution* had opened earlier in the I day with the killing of Aloysius Kearney, collector for the National | (Jarage Owner's association. The I police dallied about with theories but gained little headway in their inquiry. A coroner'* jury meanwhile was putting an official end to its own phase of the Eugene "Rett"- McLaughlin killing with the usual verdict? death at the hands of persons unknown. The inquest developed nothing to shed light on the fatal shooting of the gangster. whose body churned t<> the surface of the drain; age .canal, into which it had been ' tossed after being trussed ,and w l ighted odwn. For the capture and conviction of | I.ingle's slayer the Tribune promptly offered S Jo.000 reward and. later, the Chicago Evening Post added $5,000 to the sum.

Smith, prominent Camden attorney, and former circuit judge, announced today he would not 1m* a candidate for governor. In a statement issued hoiy*. where he has been staying for the past week while ocupying a vacancjron the Supreme court bench during the June term, he said: "I have made a diligent effort,-since my announcement a few months ago of my purpose to enter the race for governor in the ensuing Democratic primary, to make such arrangement of my business affairs as would enable me to make this race, hut have been unable to do so without a financial sacYifice that can not be borne by me at this time and without serious professional embarassment in the satisfactory deposition of certain important pending litigation. "No one can Ik- more grateful thp n I to my friend* throughout the state for their many expressions of interest in my contemplated candidacy and their offers of support that have been so zealous, substantial and general as J to bring to me a genuine regret in not j being able to yield to their wishes.", . TIME TO POISON Clemson Experts Urge Farmers to Use Sweet Mixture Clemson College, June 11.?A threeyears' test at Clemson College with sixteen varieties of cotton shows that 85 per cent of the bolls which opened came from blossoms that were produced during the first three weeks of the blooming period, says R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, in advising again that farmers'who will protect the squares produced during the first three to four weeks will save the blossoms that follow and thus insure the setting of a crop of bolls. The sweetened poison or 1-1-1 mixture has been found to be effective and profitable by the South Carolina Experiment Station and by thous-! ands of farmers over the state who have used this method of control for years. Early application of this 1-1-1 mixture offers the hope of obtaining universal practice of boll weevil poisoning. Any farmer, be he rich or poor, skilled or ignorant, can buy and use the materials needed in this sweetened poison method. Old cotton is fruiting now and as squares form, it should have an application of 1-1-1 mixture - at once, with two ndditnoial applications at intervals of five to sefen days. If rain washes it off withih twenty-four hours, the application Imust be repeated. J Want Bird Sanctuaries Spartanburg. ?

I THE VALUE of sound design, good materials and careful ! craftsmanship is especially apparent in the new Ford after j. the first twenty-five thousand miles. Long, continuous service emphasizes its mechanical reliability and economyx)^?| operation and up-keep. _ J As you drive the Ford through many months and years you will develop an increasing pride in its appearance and a 1 growing respect for the substantial worth that has been built into it. From every standpoint ? in everything that goes to .< .make a good automobile ? you will know that you have made a far-seeing, satisfactory purchase. Wherever you go, you hear enthusiastic praise of the car and this significant, oft-repeated phrase ? "I'm glad I ' bought a Ford." / ~ I A FORD owner in New JYork tells of a 13,000-mile trip across the United States and hack in sixty days and says "the car was extremely economical to operate, comfortable and speedy." A grateful father tells how the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield saved his wife and children from serious injury. To test tires, a large company drove a new Ford day and night, for an average of ? 500 miles every twenty-four hours. It was Btill giving satisfactory service after 105,000 miles. A Ford car that had fallen into Feman Lake was submerged for twelve days before being raised. After a new battery and carburetor howl were installed, it was driven hack to Spokane under its own power. Many police departments have written of the special advantages of the Ford in p crowded traffic because of its alert speed, fj acceleration, and ease of control. An inj. creasing number of fleet owners are also purchasing the Ford because their cost figures have given conclusive proof of its economy of operation and up-keep. ^ In addition to important triumphs in Germany, France and Italy, the Ford won v six out of seven leading places in u contest I in Finland, first and second in the Rafnela races In Argentina, first and second in the 17 run from Copenhagen-to-Paris-to-Copen** hagen, three gold medals in England, firtt ranking in the durahility test over the tortuous Amancaes road in Peru, and firtt place in the 1930 reliability run conducted by the Iloya! Automobile Club of Sveden? ' l This contest was an exceptionally 8?* vere test of endurance and sturdy cofc i struction because it was held in the dead of1 winter and covered 600 miles of steady.-i running over snow-covered country road* -i and mountainous hills. ?? . i rj NEW LOW FORD PRIC B^fj Roadster . $435 Coupe . $495 j Phaeton . 440 Tudor Sedan 495 Sport Coupe 525?
