CHICAGO, June 80. -tFHThe
Chicago Tribune today, in editorial
and news columns, took definite
cognizance OF the sinister rumorS
that have attached themselves 70
the career OF its slain reporter, Al
fred CJakel Lingle.
II sets forth, edirorially, that the
first report Of the states attorneys
investigators, which goes into detail
concerning the reporters finances,
would indicate that Alfred Lingle
was killed because he was using his
Tribune position to profit from
criminal operations and not because
he was serving the Tribune as IL
thought he was"
Pointing out from the investiga-
ton. the newspaper says:
alfred Lingle now takes a dif-
ferent character, one in which he
was unknown TO the management
Of the Tribune when he was alive.
He is dead and cannot defend him
self, but many facts now revealed
mast be accepted as eloquent a.
gainst him. He was not, and could
not have been. q great reporter. His
ability did not contain these posi-
bilities. He did not write stories,
but he could get information i'm po-
lice circles. The reasonable appear
ance against Lingle now Is that he
was accepted in the world OF pol
itics and crime for something un-
dreamed OF in his office and that
he used this III undertakings which
made him money and brought him
TO his death.

Moderate conditions were re-

Recess Appointment Would

Until Congress cOnvenes

Mai. Gen. Edgar JadwtT yet
may serve as chairman OF the
new fulLtime Federal Power Com
mission. at least temporarily, 1t
was believed possible yesterday.
This possibility was pointed out
in power circles following Presi.
dent Hoover's action Saturday
IN sending the nominations OF
three commissioners to the Sem
ate for confirmation.
Recess Choice Legal
Under the law creating the
commission, the President could
not make recess appointments
while the commission was not
in existence. But under the same
law, when three commission
have been confirmed, the COM
mission starts to function in
place Of the present partrtime
body composed of the Secretaries
Of war, Interior and Agriculture.
Thus with the commission in
existence, the President could
make q recess appointment of the
chairman and the remaining fifth
member, it was pointed out.
President Hoover recently an
nounced selection of General Jad-
win as chairman. Strong Senate
opposition was voiced because OF
the generals known opposition to
Government operation OF Muscle
Shoals. The upshot was that Jad-
win announced he was not avail
able for the post. It was under
stood In. the beginning that Jad-
win would serve only for six
months.

pointment, he would serve llsta

The Progressive bloc is anxious
to know the attitude of the nol11i-

Barrere Meets Campbell
In Dramatic Clash

fects in a drain on the Arlington
experimental farm viii come for
ward to again tell what he
knew of Bafrere.
It was in the drain that q pair
Of gloves, partially identified by
Campbell as having been taken
from his house. were found. These
gloves tire reaItor asserted could
have been taken by Barrere.
Another Odd Angle
One other angle of the case,
dubbed the most battling in the
history of the police department
which will be followed out today
is a statement attributed TO
Barrere that he had pass key
to Campbe1l's house in Virginia.
A check up of that part of
Barrere's story regarding his visit
to Philadelphia where he found
employment a few hours after
his arrival there on May 8, was
SubStantiated by a statement OBJ
tanned from William Wackley, a
contracting painter.
It was after obtaining work
that Barrere went to the home
Of Mrs. Marian FARRELL, West
Philadelphia widow, whom he
took with him to Montreal.
Cloth, in commenting upon the
many queer turns the murder
probe has taken since the bullet
torn bod yof the Navy Depart
ment employe was found, said
that unless the arrest Of Barrere
and investigation of his story
leads to the identity Of the slayer
the case will go down as an I'M
solved mystery.
End of the Rope
Every possible clue no matter
how trivial has been run down
by police who have worked ull.
tiringly since April IL.
AS Cloth stated yesterday,
authorities are at the end Of their
rope with the arrest of Barrere,
but do feel that vital information
will be developed through him.
Cloth said:
Il believe that several per
sons have held back infOrma-
tiOn, either through fear of. VIC
Ience. or friendship for some
person involved in the case.
''We win now be able, / be
Iieve, to locate these persons
and get the true story behind
their reticence. We have much
information, which for obvious
reasons we have not divulged
and will. not do so unless some.
one is brought to trial for the
crime.

leased he insists that he viii

Upon this decision hinged the
admissibility of testimony regard
ing the compensation Of Eugene

Anti.merger attorneys have
sought the admission of the testi-
mony to support their conten-
ton that Grace received q large
and unheard of" compensation
which they claim was fraudu-
lently concealed from directors
Of Sheet and Tube when they were
asked to merge WITH Bethlehem.
Pro-merger counsel contended
that Grace should not be COM
PEELED to reveal his compensation
since April 3O-the date the
merger was to have been con-
sulnmated-since the merger con
tract has been extended to July
