Defense of Van Trump and

Rathbun, Tribune Attorney, Is Appointed as
Prosecutor; Lingle's Funeral Bigger
Than Any He Ever Reported

The state board of control, call
ed Saturday to consider acceptance
or rejection of H. S. Merrlam'g re
signation from the state board of
horticulture, will find. If it probes
the surface reports of the entire
situation, that Merriam has been
made the object of a personal per
secution not in the least connect
ed with Interests of horticulture
In Oregon.
For the ,protest9" against Mer
riam, the hue and cry for his re
signation, arose from malice and
a desire to make him pay for his
audacity in asking that the Ma
rion eounty's fruit inspection be
carried on in the manner provid
ed tor by lar.
And Merriam is finding out,
in fact found out a week ago, that
newspapers are not infallible and
when they desire to make trouble
for anvone. power is theirs.
The farts are these:
Merriam complained some
weekr aso to4he county court that
the daily inspection of incoming
fruit and other products such as
potatoes, which under the law arc
to be inspected, were not being
properly cared for by County In
spector Van Trump. Not knowing
that Van Trump's long service to
the county had given him political
power and a marked following, he
walked into the county court and
asked for Van Trump's removal
on the basis of inefficient service.
Van Trnnip Defended
At Packed Meeting
Unwilling to act on the recom
mendation of the member of the
board of horticulture, the court
refused to take Van Trump's
scalp and ordered a public hear
ing. To this session came Van
Trump's friends, hand-picked and
Teady to do battle against the in

CHICAGO, June 12. (AP) With an aroused populace de
manding results, Chicago newspapers moved tonight to
take over active leadership in tracking down the assassin of
Alfred "Jake" Lingle, and purging the city of criminals.
Scarcely had Lingle been buried when Charles F. Rathbun of
Tribune counsel was made assistant state's attorney to han
dle the investigation.
Pat Roche, former ace of the federal narcotic forces and
now chief investigator forv the state's attorney's office, will
head the investigators wblleO
Rathbun will have complete
charge of legal phases.
The action came close on the
heels of a meeting of representa
tives of seven leading newspapers
which adopted a resolution pledg
ing their organizations and re
sources to the cleaning: up of
"gang, police, official, and any
other public viciouaness."
Chicago today held the funeral
of the slain newspaperman. He
had covered elaborate gangster
funerals but he, shot down by
some gunman of the underworld,
had a bigger funeral than any he
had reported for the Tribune.
He lay in a silver-bronze casket
while the fellows he had associat
ed with for 18 years listened to a
priest invoke God's vengeance on
his assassin, heard the final re
quiem celebrated for him in Our
Lady of Sorrows church
body to a grave and then ground
out the story for the world to
read. Chief among the pall-bearers
as his close friend. Commis
sioner of Police William Russell.
"God will have vengeance on
the murderer!" Father Jerome
Mulherin said, as 25,000 swarmed
along the street to watch the pro
cession, "The fifth commandment must
be enforced. God alone has the
power to take away life or de
prive us of the pursuit of happiness."

Aspirants For Speakership
Will Meet in Portland
Saturday
A coalition of anti-Lonergan
forces behind some other candi
date for the speakership of the
1931 house loomed Thursday when
James W. Mott, local candidate
for the position, received word
that his presence was requested at
bore hisi. '
i ueie in Mursnuu ui cuuveuiriii-
ing to defeat Lonergan will be
raised with Mott, Herbert Gordon
of Portland, and Emmett Howard
of Eugene present. All three of
these men are aspirants and it is
felt that if two can be persuaded
to withdrawal the combination can
be used to keep Lonergan from
winning.
On the other hand, if necessary,
all three of the anti-Lonergan can
didates can withdraw leaving the
field open to a fourth candidate
on whom the three anti-Lonergan
men can agree. It was said here
Thursday that in addition to Gor
don, Howard and Mott, a number
of the unpledged members of the
931 legislature would plan to at
tend the Portland caucus.
The- objection to Lonergan
comes principally on the score that
hi Interests in the legal profes
sion have been decidedly with the
public utilities. Knowing Joseph s
feeling in this matter. Lonergan.
if speaker of the house, would he
a leader antagonistic to Joseph's
policies, if he is elected governor.
Joseph, himself. Is quoted as op
posing Lonergan. The latter got a
flying start for the speakership
when he signed up 34 supporter
at the close of the last session,
but withdrawal or defeat of many
of these has reduced the old pledge
list to about 18 men. Lonergan
claims he has built up his sup-
nort bevond the necessary 31
votes, but the opposition claim
Lonergan has only 24 votes.

WASHINGTON. June 12
(AP) Senators Reed and Grun
dy, republicans of Pennsylvania,
came out today for the tariff bill
on the eve of the final showdown
on the legislation and dispelled
all fears in the minds ot republi
can leaders that the measure
might fail.
Proponents of the measure look
for passage tomorrow by two
votes and for house approval Sat
urday. Senator Reed, in a twenty-min
ute speech, told an intensely ex-,
pectant senate he would vote for
the conference report because he
believed agitation for another bill
would continue if the Hawley
Smoot measure failed and Ameri
can business was in no condition
'to stand that."
Grundy listened attentively to
his colleague's speech and later
off the floor told newspapermen
he would follow Reed in support
ing the bill.
The accession of the Pennsyl
vania votes cast a perceptible
wave of relief over the republican
side of the chamber.
The spectacle of two Pennsyl
vania senators withholding deci
sion on a republican tariff meas
ure was unusual. Reed said he
had inclined to vote against the
bill but reached the conclusion it
would be wrong "because Ameri
can Industry I entitled to be re
lieved of the agitation that has
been going on for nearly two
years; because American business
has stood about all of us it can
stand; because it is almost better
than tariff agitation be ended and
that it be ended right."

Attempted hold-up of the Lin
coln store in Polk county shortly
after 9 o'clock last night failed to
materialize when C. C. Grimm,
the proprietor turned the tables
and did the shooting.
Entering the store under pre
tense of buying a package of cig
arettes, the hold-up man con
fronted Grimm with a gun as he
returned from the cash register
with change for the purchaser. It
took Grimm but an Inkling to re
lieve his "patron" of the gun, and
as the visitor left the store Grimm
took a shot at him. Grimm also
placed an identification shot in
the rear of the enclosed car, wait
ing outside with a driver at the
wheel, as it sped away.
Would Recognize
Unlucky Marauder
The man is described by Grimm
as light, dark complexion, clad in
a gray suit and wearing a gray
hat. He was apparently 23 or 2 4
years old. The proprietor says he
would readily recognize the man.
Grimm immediately notified
Salem police and the sheriff. The
car came from the north and
headed toward Salem as It left
the store, but Grimm says he is
positive a car came past the store
in four or five minutes after the
attempted hold-up in the same car
and that the would-be robbers had
simply gone down the Wallace
road a short distance and turned
around to speed north again.
