persons who continue to reply upon pri-

Arlington County Water Department
has been urging county residents to
subscribe to the public supply since the
installation of the system, but fears now
are being expressed that If advantage is
taken Of the proffered opportunity the
supply Of water which Is received from
the District of Columbia reservoirs will
be curtailed.
Alexandria continues immune from
water shortage, it was reported last
night. Water in the Bancroft Dam is
only 3 feet below the top and the dam
itself is 70 feet high, with capacity OF
900, 0O0, 900 gallons. The consumption
is only 100000 gallons daily: Water,
however, is flowing into the Dam only
slowly at present and the usuaI overnow

Rain Aids Tobacco.
A little rain which fell in the south
western section of Virginia is believed
to have saved at least temporarily
5000 900 pounds of hurley tobacco OF
the early planting. Corn, which now Is
tasseling, also was benefited by the
light rain. washington County far
mers continue shipment of heavy cattle

The drought in the Danville section
is illustrated by the fact that the Dan
River is lower than 1t has been in nve
wears. The Lynchburg section witnessed
an S-inch drop in the Pedlar River,
where 100000 gallons more water Is
being filtrated daily than under nor
NAL conditions. At Martinsburg, w,
Va, lawn sprinkling was prohibited in
the face of a 3-foot drop in the res

year there is no overflow at the Mar

of Chicago Reporter.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 1s-Oficial investi-
gators tonight 1ntimated that Frank
Foster, reputed to have been the owner
Of the revolver which killed Jake
Lingle, Tribune reporter, had given
valuable information to solve the mys-
terry surrounding the newspaper mans
death.
But what Foster told the authorities
if anything, was as much a mystery to
the general public as was the killing
of Lingle itself. Foster was brought
back to Chicago on train which made
an unwonted stop in the south side
yards. Twenty detectives swarmed
about him, a fleet of squad cars sped
away and Foster, said by authorities to
be one of the keys in the Lingle killing
had vanished for the day.
Court stenOgrapher Called.
A court stenographer received an
emergency call and hastened away, pad
in hand. The reporters guessed that
Foster was talking.
well, the case is all cleared up" an
attache of the States attorneys staff
remarked as he emerged from head
quarters. And the reporters guessed
that Foster had talked.
The gangster was brought back from
California under indictment for the
murder Of Lingle, but not accused OF
being the actual slayer. The prosecu-
tors hoped to learn from him the last
owner of the snub-nosed, ancient re-
volver found beside the Tribune re-
porter's body. Foster had once owned
it, he admitted, but he has said the
police took it from him long ago.
Detectives, prosecutors and special
investigators threw reporters of their
trail. Comment was refused, and the
place where Foster was taken for ques-
tioning could not be learned An at
torney announced that he had been
retained for Foster and would demand
that he be lodged in the county iail to
await the trial for which his indictment
called, but Foster could not be found.
Left Train ut Joliet.
His wife, returning on the same train
from California, had left it at Joliet.
Action was begun to free Tommy
Abbottini, alias Abbott, but the court
DECIDED the police could keep him In
custody until Monday morning. Abb
bottini was captured by detectives after
an automobile chase that ended at his
home, his automobile being identified
as the one used by the gangsters who
fired fusillade at Jack zuta, reputed
Caponi vice and beer manager, and
killed State street trolley motorman,
MRS. Aobottini was also arrested.

DETRO|T'S RECALL
BATTLE NEAR END
Fate of Mayor to Be Decided
Tuesday After Radio
Campaign.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, July 19--Detroit's short
est and bitterest political battle, con-
Quoted almost entirely by radio, entered
its Anal phase tonight.
The issue, to be decided Tuesday, is
whether Mayor Charles Bowles shall be
recalled on grounds Of tncompetency.
Two weeks of intensive campaigning
over the city's broadcasting stations
have presented the voters with q series
of vivid but conflicting accounts Of af-
fairs in the city hall.
On the one hand are the sponsors of
the recall movement charging the
mayor with tolerating lawlessneSs, ignor-
ing campaign pledges and surrounding
himself with politically selfish lieuten-
ants, while on the other hand is the
administration claiming to have worked
for the good of the city, reduced taxes
and provided eficient law enforcement
only to fall victims to selfish, greedy
interests"
Invoked for First Time.
A group of citizens invoked the recall
law for the first time in the city's his
tory May 81, when the police depart
ment was in the throes of q reorganiza-
charge of Commissioner Harold II. EN-
mons and the appointment of Thomas
c. Wilcox, former Department Of Justice
officer.
The mayor made a hard fight to pre-
vent the proposed referendum on his
administration. The validity of the pc
titions was challenged, the Sufhciency OF
the charges was questioned. Two in
junction proceedings were thrown out
by both the Circuit and State Supreme
Courts.
Immediately both administration and
recall leaders took to the air." accept
ing the radio as the most effective
means of reaching the greatest number
of voters.
Much of the battle has conferred about
John Gillespie, whose appointment as
commissioner of public works forms the
basis of one of the charges against the
mayor and caused Robert Oakman,
veteran real estate operator and politi-
clan, to leave the Bowles camp. The
Gillespie Oakman feud reached climax
last week in q three-hour radio debate
which dealt almost entirely in person.

Charges Of Fraud.
Gillespie has carried directly to the
radio listeners charges of fraud and
irregularity in the recall petitions which
he failed to get before q court. Last
night he presented. as q surprise radio
speaker, Winfield e. Gibney, recall
petition circulator who said ne had en-
gineered the securing of 100000 sigma
lures on recall petitions of which fully
so per cent were fraudulent"
throughout the campaign the mayor
has accused his enemies of prosecuting
him, The real issue, he will state on
the recall ballots next Tuesday, IS
whether the people or the press shall
rule the city.
