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.
Exhibits Cotton Blossom

Mendel L. Smith Is
Not a Candidate
Columbia. June 14 th.r?-Mendel L.
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.

Mi7e? 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.
