L|NGLE DEATH GUN
FOUND VITAL CLUE
Weapon Believed "PIanted"
to Incriminate VaciIIat-
ing Gangster.
By tn. Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 2l.-The gun used
to slay Jake Lingle. Tribune reporter
had become today a vital clue in the
hunt for his assassin.
Frank Foster. = dapper gangster OF
vacillating allegisnces. was the original
owner of the pistol, police revealed to-
day, and Foster has disappeared.
Painstaking efforts had been made
with G file to destroy the. serial number
stamped upon the weapon and thus
: prevent police from tracing its owner
ship. But the file failed. Acid, micro
scopes and infinite police patience final
ly revealed what the number was.
Foster, the police believe, disposed of
the gun prior to the Lingle murder on
June 9. They want to know to whom,
and they have started a countrywide
hunt for Foster to that end.
Foster Deserted First Gang.
Foster, they said, was formerly a
leader In the North Side gang banded
together under the joint chieftaincy of
George (Bugs) Moran and the Aiellos.
outfit and enrolled under the Capone
banner.
Police believe Foster learned that it
was his gun that killed Lingle, and that
he figured the town would be TOO hot"
for him, even though he had no part in
the killing. So he fed.
Discovery that Foster originally
owned the gun led to a new police
theory: that the killer. or killers,
planned not only to kill Lingle but to
involve Foster as well.
Substantiating this, police said, are
the stories Of witnesses that the slayer,
instead of f1inging the pistol aside,
placed it almost deliberately on the con-
crete floor of the Illinois Central Sub
way in which Lingle was killed.
The Moran-Aiello connection is the
original police theory. 1t is recalled
that when the then police commissioner,
William Russell, and his chief of de-
tectives, John Siege, reached the scene
Of the murder, Siege turned to Russell
and said, graphically:
Shall I make that spot?"
Russell replied:
Machine Gun Found.
"Give them about IS minutes to get
back there. then make it."
Twenty-Five minutes later police
known as a headquarters for the
Moran -Aiello gang. Three men, including
Dominic Aiello, were seized, and a ma
chine gun and other weapons were
found. The men later were released.
The police believe that the Aiello-
Moran gang, seeking revenge upon
Foster for his desertion to their gang
foe, Capone, may have planted his
pistol by Lingle's body, knowing that
modern science would be able to trace
ownership Of the weapon, despite the
filing away of the serial number.
With the police department being
vigorously reorganized under the act
ing commissionership of John Alcock,
Federal prohibition agents took q hand
yesterday in the Chicago crime scene
by raiding IL Cicero diStilleries, be-
lieved to have been operated by the Ca
pone syndicate. In the last week, a.
stills In Cicero have been raided.

T|NKHAM MOD|F|ES
ATTACK ON CANNON
Answers Bishops Def in
Signed Statement, Repeating
Some of Former Charges.

By the Associated Press.
Differences between Bishop James
Cannon, jr., and Representative Tink-
ham continued today to command In
tereSt in Washington.
A move by the churchman in response
to a public statement issued by the leg
islator attacking him was being awaited.
Tinkham, Republican opponent to
prohibition from Massachusetts,, recently
made charges against the Southern
Methodist dry leader in the House. Can
non called him clustering cowardly
Congressman" for doing so under the
cloak of congressional immunity and
dared him repeat the assertions of the
floor. Statements in the Senate and
libel.
Tinkman issued q statement over his
signature repeating some Of the charges
which ne previously had made on the
moor OF the House.
Bishop Retains Counsel.
Cannon last week announced he in
tended to take action for libel. both
civil and criminal, against newspapers
printing editorials, cartoons and news
dispatches which he considered a de-
famation Of himself He indicated he
had retained counsel to study the pos
sibll1ty OF bringing such action. Whether
ne would do so as result Of Tinkhams
latest assertions was subject Of specu-
lation at the Capitol today.
In his speech in the House which
prompted the Cannon challenge Tink-
ham said the bishop had violated the
corrupt practices act by failing to re-
port the disposition of $48, 300 given him
by =. G. Jameson of New York for pro-
noting the anti-Smith campaign. A
statement in the House address that
until this sum is accounted for Cannon
will stand convicted in the eyes of all
honest men OF having appropriated that
money to his own uses," was not con-
tanned IN his signed statement Just
published.
This phase of the Cannon -Tinkham
controversy arose from the churchman's
refusal to answer questions on his DO
litical activities at the time of his ap-
pearance before the Senate lobby COM
mittee.
jameson Testifies to Gift.
Tinkham had previously asked the
committee to call the churchman and
mad accused him Of violating the cor
rupt practices law.
Jameson testified he gave Cannon
S66,300 and Cannon reported the ex-
penditure of $1,000 to Congress. The
$48, 800 remaining, he contended, need
not be reported as it was all spent in
virginia and 50, he contended, not SUBJ
ject to the Federal law.
After his appearance before the lobby
committee, Cannon issued a statement
giving in lump sums what he said was
the apportionment of the $4B,3OO for
general campaign purposes and among
the individual congressional districts Of
Virginia.

ROBINSON DEFENDS
PACT PROVISIONS
Hits Charges of Naval Treaty
Foes That American Safety
Is Involved.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Robinson, Democrat, Of Ar
kansas, who helped negotiate the Lon
don naval treaty, said today it was "dif-
flcult to comprehend" the argument of
the pact's opponents that it involved a
sacrifice of American safety.
The Arkansan, who was one of the
delegates to the London Conference, de-
livered a radio address under the aus
pices of the National Grange, continu-
ing the series of such speeches by
sponsors and foes of the treaty that has
kept the issue before the public while
1t awaits consideration in the Senate.
Explains Relative Strength.
This address was confined almost en-
tirely to an exposition of the terms OF
the pact, in the course of which he took
the various categories one by one, ex-
planning the relative strength of the
three signatory nations as provided by
the treaty.
The controversy over the cruiser
clauses, he said, "narrows itself down
to the choice between 8-inch guns as
against 6-inch-gun armament on three
ships under the General Boards pro-
posal, and an additional 8,500-ton g.
inch cruiser under the treaty.
1T Is respectfully suggested that the
choice so far as combat power is con-
cerned, Is in favor of the treaty ar
rangement which gives us the addition
al ship.
THE claim, advanced by some high
authorities, that eight-inch cruisers are
so much more desirable for the uses
Of the United States than Six-inch
cruisers loses the greater part of it's
force when 1t is recalled that under
the treaty the cruising radius of the
latter may equal that of the former.
and that six-inch guns for the United
States will presumably carry as far and
hit as hard az they will for any other
power"
Difference Held Trivial.
AS between the United States and
Great Britain. he said, the net diff
tons in favor of the latter. He termed
this difference trivial in view of Amer
icas advantage in eight-inch gun
cruisers.
The series Of radio addresses was be-
gun by Secretary Stimson, who headed
the delegation at London. Senator
Johnson, Republican, California, an op-
ponent Of the pact. spoke in reply.
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, then spoke in defense of the
treaty, and, last night, johnson re-
piled to him. The Californian COM
pared the treaty to "a dose of bitter
medicine, which it Is insisted CUR peo-
pie must swallow at once with their
eyes shut"

suits. Neither time nor space suffices
for an adequate reference to indirect
results involving manufacturing and
transportation. The numerous indus
tries producing materials which the
projected improvements require will
readily come to mind. Their employees
are concerned.
Called Nation wide Problem.
"The existing unemployment prob
lem, we repeat, is unfortunately Nation
wide. We are sure it is temporary, but
while 1t exists it is very real and cer-
nothing to increase it, nor leaving
nothing undone which can appropriate
ly be done by that body to diminish it
1T is not possible to increase the Sc
riousness of that situation here with
out indirectly affecting it all over the
country.
I'VE realize that in the above we
have stated nothing that is new and
nothing of which the members of our
legislative bodies are not fully aware.
We here emphasize them, however, that
their seriousness may not be overlooked
in the closing days of this extraordinarily
busy session of Congress"
No Action Before Monday.
The Senate having recessed last night
until Monday, no definite action towarc
reopening conferences with the House
can be taken over the week end. The
papers relating to the bill are still or
the clerks desk in the Senate. II Il
is decided to renew the conference, thu
bill could be taken from the desk al
any time and a request made for q
further conference.
Those in charge of the measure or
the Senate side, however, indicate thai
they have heard no intimation yet o!
a possible compromise. The previou.
conferences ended in disagreement q
week ago because. according to the Sen.
ate conferees, the House refused al

The Request, a Guests Privilege
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
expect to have two men,
friends of the family, for din
ner some evening in the near
future. The question that is
puzzling me is what to say in
regard to asking them II they
care to wash their hands be-
fore eating. c. o.
It is not necessary, or eSpe-
cially polite, to ask this ques-
ton. For we take for granted
that our guests have washed
their hands before they arrive
at our homes for dinner.
However. under special cir
cumstances. it is quite all right
for our guests to ask us if they
may wash their hands before
they enter the dining room. For
instance, when we are dining
most informally, and when a
guest has say, come from his
or her office directly to our
home, we should quite take it
for granted that they may ask
for the privilege Of washing the
hands before dinner. However,
from the very personal nature
Of the request, it would seem
better that the request come
from the guests than that it
should come from the hostess.

ELLA AND NED.
This is a matter of personal
INSTRUMENTATION or not one
believes in heavy hearted mourn
ing clothes, and whether or not
such clothes make one feel
better. It is not regarded as
ostentatiouS; indeed. for any
one to criticise what one does
under such sorrowful circum-
stances as losing a husband is
poor taste. Now. however. all
customs concerning mourning
have, in general. changed, and
most widows wear the mourn
ing veil only to the funeral.
Often not then. Perhaps the
change to lighter weight fabrics
has had much to do with this.
Crepe is such a lugubrious and
sorrowful-hearted material in
