Jingle death
Sensational Charges Made
as Official Probe of Gang
Killing Opens.
HUNT FOR HIGHER UPS
Reporter for Chicago Daily
News Alleges Attempt
Made on His Life.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 8.-New chal-
lenges and offers of assistance were
hurled today at the new grand jury
as it opened its official investigation
of the murder of Alfred Jake"
Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter.
A challenge to States Attorney
John A. Swanson, who had an
nounced the jury would investigate
all rumors and charges in connec-
ton with the case, was made by
the Herald Examiner, Hearst pub
LEGATION.
"Lingle Higher Ups Sought, F"
read the banner headline under
which the paper stated that there
was prospect of an authoritative air
ing of the insinuationS that have
been made as to the 'higher-ups
who may have backed Lingle"
Offers of assistance came from
Harry Brundidge, reporter for the
st. Louis Star, and Leland H. Reese,
reporter for the Chicago Daily News.
Reporter OTferS ala
Brundage, whose articles accusing
unnamed Chicago reporters Of be-
ing deeply involved in racketeering
as was Lingle, created furore in
newspaper circles here, made it
known through his own paper that
he would appear voluntarily before
the grand jury to tell what he knew
regarding the charges he had made.
Reese, in an unprecedented
article in the News, stated he felt
certain he was one of the unnamed
reporters" referred to, told how he
was injured last Friday morning
when his automobile was side
swiped" off the road by a mysterious
"good-sized black sedan" near De
Kalb, ILL.,, and also offered to appear
before the grand jury.
The News reporter denied any
charges that he ever had any
"Scandalous" connections with
gangland, told how he had received
news tips from Julius Rosenheim,
slain informer, and said his life had
been threatened since the Lingle
murder. He believed, he stated, that
his automobile was wrecked pur-
posely. He and two bodyguards were
injured in the accident.
Inquiry May Expand
Thus" stated the Tribune today,
there may come before the states
attorneys Office and the present
grand jury not only the murder OF
Alfred Lingle, but also the Staying
of Rosenheim and the admitted
threats to kill Reese"
A city'S officials, its police, its
underworld, and now its news
papers have become involved, in
one way or another, in the Lingle
investigation, which States Attor-
ney Swanson announces will be one
of the most sweeping in the history
of Chicago.
It was four weeks ago Monday
that Lingle was murdered in a
pedestrian subway in the loop.
Newspapers at first accepted the
killing as a warning from gangland
to stop Investigations of gang
activities and an outraged citizenry
demanded a police reorganization
to drive crime out of Chicago"
A special board of strategy, ap-
pointed to investigate the murder,
then revealed that Lingle had been
a racketeer himself, and that his
killing might have been for any one
of a score of reasons.

Swanson of Virginia Opens
Fight for Senate o. K.
on Navy Treaty.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON. July 8.-Rejec-
ton of the London naval treaty
would be interpreted in London and
Toxic as a warning that the United
States had embarked on an impe-
rialistic career in which she would
seek to dominate Japanese and
British destinies, Senator Swanson
Dem., Va told the senate today;
in the opening plea in behalf OF the
treaty.
Swanson. rather than Chairman
Borah of the foreign relations COM
mittee, seconded President Hoo
ver's ufgent request for ratification,
because Borah is disinclined to
fight for the treaty and party lines
have been disrupted during the
treaty consideration. Swanson is
ranking Democrat On the foreign
relations committee.
A resolution by Senator Nickel
lar Dem.. TENN, asking President
Hoover to produce all secret papers
relating to the Treaty was on the
calendar for discussion after Swan
sons speech.
May Debate Today
The Mcclellan resolution was
brought formally before the senate
lust before Swanson began his
speech. If Swanson'S speech is
completed in time, debate on the
resolution will be continued today,
Mcclellan said.
IF this treaty should be rejected
by the United States" Swanson said,
Great Britain and Japan i'm
mediately would conclude that the
United States had determined
to be supreme on the seas and to
control the destinies of nations like
Great Britain and Japan, who are
absolutely dependent upon the seas.
1T would create in these two ma
tionS such irritation and suspicion
that they at once would tax all their
resources to meet all new construc-
ton in naval craft that we should
undertake.
Whether controlled by selfish
material interests. or the broader
and nobler purpose of promoting
world peace and betterment, the best
interests of the United States de-
mand ratification of this treaty.
U. S. Is Safe
1T is evident from this treaty
that the United States obtains alb
Solute naval supremacy in the en-
tire western hemisphere. The
United States is protected absolute
ly from any apprehension whatSo-
ever from the fleets of any other
nation and her safety is assured.
The American navy under this
treaty becomes sufficiently strong
to enforce the entire Monroe Doc
trine in all parts of the western
hemisphere. The navy is made
supreme in the waters Of the east
ern Pacific and western Atlantic.
with our bases at Panama, the
British fleet operating in the west
ern Atlantic would be less than a
ratio of three for Great Britain and
FIVE for the United States"
Swanson said the treaty navy
would cost $1,000 100000. but that it
would cost twice as much to main
tain the desired ratios without q
treaty.
