SMITH ASKS PARTY
 ID REBUKE G. 0, P.
WaXeS Sarcastic Over Efforts Of
 HooVer's Law Body

Boston, Oct. 22 LP-A Smith was hack on the firing line of the demo- cratic campaign in Massachusetts and the nation today bringing with him the accusation that the republi- can party had failed to live up to the promises they made in order to win the 1928 election from him.
 In a speech at the Boston Arena with a nationwide radio hook-up last night Al Smith said the repub- licans had promised prosperity and had failed to deliver, had promised a partial scientific tariff revision and made a tariff for the benefit of it's campaign contributors.
 He said they passed the buck on prohibition, that they want to be wet among the vets and as dry as Sahara among the drys." With sar- casm Smith turned to President Eoovers law enforcement commis, sion, which, after IS months, he said, had brought forth simply two accomplishments, shaking up the personnel of the federal enforce E1ent officers. and transfer of en- forcement from the treasury de- partment to the department of jus tice.
 That is the sum total of all that has happened to the noble experi- ment in IS months,' Smith said, This problem can never be solve,i by the republican party. They are I,, oe o:r to dodge'
 Raps Platform
 He paid his respects to the state republican platform on prohibition as taking the prize for ducking an ] presented as a model the democrats New York state platform for repeal Of the 18th amendment and the Vol stead act and proper safeguards against the return of the saloon and for true temperance.
 Turning 10 the tariff. former Gov ernor Smith said the republicans spent more than year indulginE ''in the old time methods of log rolling and back scratching" keep. ing business in suspense and thus contributing to depression. to bring forth tariff which he summed up thus:
 Joe Grundy demanded delivery O. the goods-and he walked away with them.'
 In contrast 10 such a tariff Smith outlined the democratic idea a scientific tariff taken out Of politics and put into the hands of well paid tariff commission. con- petitive tariff but not one where tho American people was forced 10 pay

REPUBLICANS LACK
 FOR SOME LOSSES
ShOuse Says Government Planes
 Used in Campaign

Washington. Oct. g P>-The sccthing period of claims and coun- ter claims immediately preceding election day was well under way in the capital today as leaders concen- trated on last minute activities.
 The republican leaders concede they will suffer net losses in the senate after the ballots are counted, but they profess themselves much encouraged by recent developments and confident a safe party majority will be maintained.
 From the democratic party head quarters last night came an inter pretation Of Secretary Wilbur's re- cent campainsn speech which pro- fCsscd to sec the cabinet member urging the defeat of insurgent re- publican senators who have not CO., operated with President Hoover.
 It was Jouctt Shouse. chairman of committee. who said he took Will bur's talk to be really asking for the defeat of such republicans as Senator Borah of Idaho Senator Norris of Nebraska, Senator Me Master of South Dakota, Senator Pine of Oklahoma and numerous others whose attitude during the re- cent sessions of congress filled Mc Hoover with grief"
 Senator Moses, of New Hampshire, the chairman of the republican senatorial campaign committee, came forward with the prediction Of senate safely republican,
 Expects Losses
 "I think we shall meet some net losses in the electon,' he said, the extent of which 1 hesitate to state in detail. l would expect. however. that when We are all through, the senate will be safely republican. In some states where we had gloomy forebod- lngs the prospects have frightened. In others where our hopes were high we have encountered unforeseen diff faculties but the net result will be as l have stated"
 It was in the eastern states where the republican chairman saw new hope of success. The republicans, counting Senator Shipstead, farmer labor, on their side for organization purposes as well as the insurgent republicans, could muster d majority even though the democrats won nine seats.
 Meanwhile, in the west Senator Borah set out for Nebraska to cam palgn for the liberal senator, George W. Norris. A similar brief swing into Minnesota on behalf of Senator Schall is promised by the Idahoan. who does not plan to return to his own state until the day before cleo ton. Also Senator Watson of h. diana, the republican leader who was forced out of active campaign ing a few days ago by the threat of lll-health, refused to remain out side the lists and prepared to de- liver one more campaign address in Chicago Friday night over radio network
 In commenting on Secretary Will burs speech, Shouse criticized the campaign activities of other cabinet members.
 Tt may be quite correct for Sec retary Wilbur to speak in behalf of the republican congressional can Gldates," he said. Certainly his activity is less fragrant than that of some Of his colleagues who are transforming in the same behalf in government planes, driven by gov ernment pilots''

Prospector' $ Distress Signal Starts Forest Fire
 Near Haines

To fight fire raging in the Haines district, Ranger Harold Smith left here this afternoon on the Ranger TX. with a force of five men. Advices received by the United States Forest Service, through Marshal AlhRft White, said the flamer were sweeping the tim Der on the north side of the stream on a front one-half mile wide.
 The fire was started Saturday by a prospector's signal, said cable gram from Deputy Marshal c. J. Sullivan to Marshal White.
 Nick Thomas, in distress, lighted a signal smoke, and southeaster- ly wind flaming it, carried embers into the timber.
 The fire, starting from these, gained such headway that Thomas was unable to put it out. Paul Kegel and companion, who went to the aid of Thomas, helped him in his efforts to check the flames, but were not able to make any headway. They returned to Haines and reported that fire to Deputy Sullivan. A strong southeasterly wind famed the fire Saturday and it was making fast headway up- river when the party left the scene.

NEW EVIDENCE IN SHAVING OF
 ALFRED JINGLE
Ch arges of Alliance Be- tween Crime and Pol-
 itics Bob Up

CHICAGO, H., June 30.-United law enforcement agencies continue to follow trails in an effort to solve the assassination of Alfred Jake" Lingle, veteran police and crime reporter of the Chicago Tribune, several weeks ago.
 The agencies have run down resultant charges of alliance be- tween crime and politics.
 If any progress has been made, officials are guarding the secret.
 Officials are examining reports of promotion of the Police Depart ment, with Lingle behind the scenes, of $500 to Sergeants, and $5,0o0 and up to Captains in beer rackets. This supplies another clue that Lingle is said to have been levy ing $5 a barrel on all beer sold in The Loop, to fix things with the higher-ups and similar reports that he collected fees from gamb- ling places and dog tracks.

PERFUMES EDITORIAL

CHICAGO, Ill, June 30.-The Chicago Tribune in an editorial in today's issue says:
 Reasonable appearance against Alfred Lingle now is that he was accepted in the field of politics and crime, something undreamed of in the office and gives him a char acter that was unknown to the management of the Tribune when he was alive.
 "The Tribune is disturbed by the discovery that he was reported en- gagged in practices contrary to the code of an honest reporter, but does not find that the main ob- jectives of its inquiry are altered. The crime of the criminals re- mains. The murder of this re- porter, even for racketeering req sons, the evidence indicates, made a breach in the wall of criminality that so long maintained operations here"
