CHICAGO. July ga $3.50, 900 libel
suit has enmeshed two Chicago news
papers in the web that was being spun
daily with an amending skein of new
Investigations, charges and insinuations
sprung from the assassination six weeks
ago of Alfred Lingle, Tribune reporter.
Robert M Lee, Lingle's boss" for 10
years as city editor of the Tribune,
asked redress of the Illinois Publishing
& Printing Co. for libel alleged to have
been printed In the Herald and Ex-
aminer yesterday.
The article in question, reprinted
from an editorial in an afternoon pa
per of the previous day, suggested that
Lee, because of his close association
with Lingle for a decade, be called be-
fore the grand jury to furnish what
ever evidence he might have of the
dead reporters activities.
Lee was the author of signed arti-
Gle In the Tribune recently in which
he asserted there had been no slls-
picion of Lingle's integrity by the city
editors Office until after the muroer.
There had been insinuations, Lee wrote.
nut never were they accompanied by
facts.
only the praecipe of the libel action
was flied, but Francis x. Busch attor-
ney for Lee, issued a public statement
which said that in his opinion the
Herald and Examiner article libeled
Lee in that "the implication Is obvious
that Mr.. Lee knew of and countenanced
the alleged criminal activities OF Jake
Lingle. Mr.. Lee unqualifiedly brands
these insinuations as false and has di-
rected the institution of this suit so as
to put the authors Of the article upon
their proof
In Its account of the fling Of the
suit today, the Herald and Examiner
said: mo such suggestion by implica-
ton or In any other form appeared In
the editorial"
The grand jury listened for nearly
three hours yesterday to st. Louis
reporters account of his investigations
Of alleged racketeering on the part OF
| Chicago newspaper men.
| When Harry T. Brundidge emerged
from the jury chamber after telling his
story all lips were sealed.

not repeat his testimony even to hk
own newspaper, although Frank w
Taylor, jr., managing editor of the ST.

of the time with Brundidge States
Attorney John A. Swanson and his as

O. X. BY U. S. SENATE
Times Sees Victory for Hoover and
Doubts japanese Naval Men
Can Wreck Treaty.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
LONDON, July 23.-The London
Times today halls the ratification of
the London naval treaty by the United
States Senate as a victory for Presi-
dent Hoover and believes the protests
of Japanese naval men will have no
success in wrecking the agreement
which was signed by the government
and apparently approved by japanese
opinion.
"Of British ratification there has
never been any doubt" the paper says
editorially. Criticism of the cruiser
clauses by Admirals Beatty and Jellicoe
created certain natural misgivings, but,
broadly speaking, the nation and the
House of Commons agree with the gov
eminent that the advantages prevent
ing competition in warship construc-
ton will prove well worth the price
being paid to secure them"

canoe to the fact that the Staying was
committed short time after the recall
election. He said he had certain in
formation" which he could not disclose
at present.
Coming as 1t did on the heels of the
mayors defeat, the Staying was seen by
some as an outgrowth of enmitieS
caused by the campaign. Police Com
missioner Thomas e. Wilcox, however,
saw no connection between the two
and indicated that he attributed the
Staying to Buckley's radio attacks on
gangsters and gamblers.
Mayor Bowles characterized Buckleys
Staying as "a terrible, terrible thing. >
He welcomed the assistance Of State
law enforcement agencies.
Part of the attack on the mayor by
the recall forces dealt with his al
legged connections with gamblers.
Buckeyes radio speeches had been di-
sorts and other underworld activities

started.

paigning was insufficient to overcome
the prejudice produced by misrepre-
sentation during the last seven months
