LEGION TO. IGNORE
PROHIBITION ISSUE
National Judge Advocate
Says Constitution Does Not
! Permit Partisan Politics.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
BOSTON, october 4-Current re-
ports that prohibition would be an is
sue before the annual convention of the
American Legion here next week were
checked yesterday by Scott w. Lucas,
national Judge advocate, who declared
prohibition to be a CLOSED book" as far
as the business of the Legion was con-
cerned.
In prepared statement, Lucas said:
'"rhere frequently prevails in every
city where a national convention OF
the American Legion is held an err
roneous idea as to the part the Ameri-
can Legion. as a national organization,
plays in practical politics.
Frequently the question is asked as
TO what the position of the American
Legion will be upon certain partisan
issues or candidates seeking political
Office or preferment. OF course the
answer is ENTHUSIASTICALLY nothing
and the reason why the American
Legion does not participate in political
issues or candidates is because of the
clause in the national constitution OF
the American Legion which sets forth
IN no uncertain tones our stand upon
practical politics as it exists in America
today"
The clause referred to by Lucas says
the Legion shall be absolutely non-po-
litical and shall not be used for the
dissemination of partisan principles nor
for the promotion of the candidacy Of
any person seeking public office or
preferment."
Legionnaires fiocked into Boston to-
day for the convention.
Campaigns were already under way,
with Los Angeles starting It's boom TO
take the 1881 convention to the West
Coast.

Among the notables who arrived to-
day was Mrs. Donald Macrae, who

NEW YORK, October efforts to
have seven Tammany district leaders
who hold city jobs, waive immunity
and testify before the special grand
jury investigating judicial office -buying
was at an impaSse today.
Awaiting themselves of the technical
ity presented in Gov. Roosevelt's letter
and Mayor Walkers ultimatum that
they must sign waivers and testify "to
their official acts and conduct" the
seven sent letters to Hiram G. Todd
special prosecutor, yesterday, offering
to sign limited waivers.
The offer was promptly rejected by
Todd on the ground that the special
grand jury convened by order of Gov
Roosevelt to investigate charges that
former Magistrate George F. Ewalo
paid Martin j. Healy $4,000 for his
appointment, had no power to inquire
into official acts OF city employees.
Mayor Walker, upon learning that
the offer to sign limited waivers had
been rejected, expressed regret, but in
timated he intended to do nothing more
in the matter. He. said If there was
anything wrong with the conduct of hi:
appointed officials. he was anxious tc
know it." and added, eff the inquiry is

Jingle CONFESSION
NAMES 3 IN CRIME
Former Convict, at Inquest,
Says Two Former Prison
Mates Were in Plot.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october "A surprise
confession blazed new light on the Jake
Jingle murder mystery. The confession,
made to the coroner's jury last night,
was by Frank H. Bell, former convict
and now county jail prisoner.
He named two former prison mates
Joe Traum, Indiana gang leader, and
Richard Sullivan, robber and gunman--
as being at the murder scene; and he
identified picture of Ted Geisking,
another Indiana bad man, as looking
like" the third man who was present
when Lingle was slain.
Bell explained that he was confessing
to ease his conscience and so he could
sleep again."
Lingle, q newspaper man whom later
developments also labeled as q middle
mai" in negotiations between gangsters
and police, was slain June as he was
hurrying through the pedestrians tun-
mel beneath Michigan Boulevard at
Randolph street. Lingle was on his way
to the Illinois Central suburban station
to catch a train for the race track.
Flight Of Killer.
One bullet, through the back of the
head. dropped him dead. The killer,
in the sight of many persons, tossed the
gun on the concrete floor Of the tunnel
and escaped.
Bells confession detailed his own
of June 0-movements which
0broner Herman N. Bundesen regards
as highly significant. 1t also fixes the
price presumably agreed upon as pay
ment for the murder Of Lingle-$10,-
600; and it names the man who was
supposed to pay it. but who didn't
and was himself slain.
Bell said he and Sullivan had been
partners lin some robberies prior to
June 8, and that they met Traum, who
limited at the possibility of their making
important" money. Bell said he was
led to believe that some one was to be
kidnapped. Traum wanted Bell to drive
the car to the spot where the "kidnap-
ing" was to take place, and it was
agreed.
Ben, Traum and Sullivan drove to
Michigan boulevard and Randolph
street. The car halted not far from the
east entrance Of the pedestrian tunnel.
Traum and Sullivan got out, Traum
taking a pistol that had been hidden in
the car. A blond man" came up and
talked with them. This man-polfce be-
lieve he was the man. who fred the
shot that killed Lingle-waS the one
who Bell said looked like Geisking"
Bell was told to have the car waiting
at q designated spot not far away. He
did, and half an hour later, he said,
Traum and Sullivan rejoined him and
ordered him to drive South"

kelley had written me voluminously
In criticism OF conditions as he found
them in the field and he was brought
to washington that he might be given
every opportunity to present to me any
facts in his possession regarding the
pending claims for patents on oil shale
lands. He arrived in Washington in my
absence, was not in the department
upon my return and made no attempt
to see me, despite the fact that the
purpose in bringing him to Washington
was to give him every opportunity to
correct the Ills OF which he complained.
I'm contrast to the 81 patents which

ures OF 300 900 acres of shale land. with
an estimated value Of $40, 900 900 900.
AS an example Of the false Impressions
given by these figures, it is interesting
to note that $4,000, 900 900 Is the esti-
mated value of 40,000,o00, 900 barrels of
oil. This oil is still in the shale, and
estimates for its extraction therefrom
are placed at So per barrel, or $780,
600, 100000. The figure of present value
of this shale oil is therefore quite mis-
leading.
Kelley evidently fell into designing
hands of those who could use him to
their advantage. He Is being exploited
He prefers this to being given every OPP
portunity to cure the ills of which he
complains"
Writing to Richardson after his con-
ference with Nye, Kelley said he de-
clined to lay the facts before him be-
cause the public interests require an
investigation Of these charges by an i'm
partial body"
He added he had made arrangem ents
under which the principal facts support

CRIME IN CHICAGO
LAID TO ALLIANCE
Jury Report Charges Police,
Politicians and Gangsters
With Collision.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october "A confederacy
of crime and racketeering embracing
police, politicians and gangsters, was
charged in a grand jury report today
Its annual tribute was placed al
500, 100000.
The September grand jury, conclud-
ing its existence yesterday, recon-
mended to the Criminal Court that a
special grand jury attack the "wel
established alliance between the Chi
cago Police Department, the corrupt
politicians and the criminal elements
which it said it was convinced was
in existence.
I'VE are convinced" said the grand
jury statement, signed by the fore
man, G. F. Slaughter, steel executive
that the fortnight destruction OF
racketeering is of the utmost impor-
lance to the people Of Chicago and
Cook Couny."
The "three-cornered alliance" was
blamed for the murder of three business
men and eight labor union officials
and So bombings in the last three years
The grand jury's letter held that the
pressure from the corrupt league had
become so great that otherwise re-
sponsible business men had adopted
racketeering methods and hired hood
luns to meet competition.
THE indirect cost to Cook County,
the letter continued, sin damaged repu-
tation, withdrawal of business from the
city and county, and refusal of business
to locate in a racket-infested area is
incalculable''
The grand jurors also expressed
"amazement" that the States attorney
should have dropped the sanitary dis
trict investigation on which previous
grand juries spent considerable time.
