BREAKS OUT IN
NORTHERN AREA

san FRANCISCO, June 14.-WP)
Apparently heralding another gas
ollne price war, all Texaco stations
IN san Francisco and down the
peninsula today were displaying
gasoline signs asking II cents a gal
ION, three cents under standard
price.
Service stations of Independent
companies began Immediately to
meet the cut.
TeXaco officials here refused to
make any statement, declaring that
an announcement, if any, would
come from the head offices in Los
Angeles.
Later, dispatches from the south
credited officials with saying that
they did not know of the 'war".
that it would probably be confined
to the San Francisco bay region.
Some of the Independent stations
on the peninsula, in reprisal, cut
their price to l6 cents.
In San Francisco, apparently all
the retail stations kept their price y
20 cents.

CHICAGO PAPERS
DEMAND POLICE
OFFICIALS QUIT
Lenient Judges Sternly
Rebuked By Editorial
in Lingle's Paper.

CHICAGO, June IA. W.Ei-The
rising tide OF public resentment over
the murder OF Alfred j. Lingle,
newspaper reporter, bore down
heavily today ON both court and po-
lice officials.
New demands were made for the
resignation or temporary retirement
Of Police Commissioner William L.
Russell and Chief of detectives
John Siege.
New pledges of support were re,
ccived by Chicago's IS seven metropol-
itan daily newspapers, which united
forces Immediately after Lingle, Trl-
Iune police reporter who knew
plenty' about gangland, was shot
to death in crowded subway last
Monday.
To their insistence that the slay
cr or slayers of Lingle be captured
and sent Immediately to the electric
chair, was added the voice of the
nation IS press, as represented by
Harry Chandler, publisher of the Los
Angeles Times and president Of the
American Newspaper Publishers as
scciatiOn.
Under the caption of "The Gang
land Judges the Tribune hurled Il
broadside at the courts. The edi-
torial said in part:
eve cannot regard as virtue
the evident enthusiasm with which
many of our judges turn loose no.
torious killers. The tendency in this
Il in II "a
responsible for the reign of terror
which has eliminated in the killing
of Mr.. Lingle.'
Commissioner Russell and Siege
were ridiculed for what was con
demned as a ''gesturC' in making
1900 arrests, most of which were
said to have gathered in merely per-
sons who happened to be unem-
ployed.
The Chicago Herald and Examin-
er, in a front page editorial, declared
that "police inefficiency is the
most effective protection of gang
rule in Chicago and charged q
coalition of politics and crime $50
powerful that gang rule has attained
the reckless hardihood and aspect of
anarchy.
PLAN DEMONSTRATION
Evidence of mounting public OPT
nion was seen in plans for n huge
demonstration and mass meeting
that the Chicago church federation
intends to conduct downtown in The
Loop, probably next week.
| Ministers generally announced
their sermons tomorrow would deal
with the assassination of Linglt and
| the crystalization of sentiment for
u final showdown with gangland.
The situation was intensified
further by the Chicago Daily News
revelations yesterday that organized
crime and vice have gross revenue
tota(ing more than $4,000, ,000-each
week.
Statistical data published by the
News showed that at least 6,000
speakeasies are operating in Chicago,
each place dispensing weekly an
average of six barrels of beer and
two eases Of whisky.
Whatever progress was being
made by police and detectives OF
the states attorney s office toward
solving the Staying of Lingle, was
kept secret.
Siege said that all witnesses were
being interviewed at their homes in
order to keep their identity hidden
and to protect them against gang
land vengeance.
Demands for the removal from
office of Russell and Siege were di.
rocted Mt Mayor William Hale
Thompson by Alderman Arthur F.
Albert, and six other members of the
city council joined him in petition,
ing an immediate investigation cf
the police department.
