Reporter Brings Editorial
Wrath Citizens Unite
For Action.
CHICAGO. June 14. (P) Six
days after un underworld gunman
killed Alfred Lingle in a down
town pedestrian tunnel, police
tonight hud unnounced no progress
toward solving the reason fur the
murder or identity of the 8layer.
There was no clue to indicate it
might nut ho filed alongside the
cases of Assistant States Attorney
William McSwiggin and the hun
dred other gangland mysteries.
Hut lack of progress In solving
the assassinution of the Tribune
crime reporter tonight led to
clamorous demands by press and
public for a cleanup of gangland,
i'olicc Commissioner William Rus
sell, u close friend of Liugle's and
target of numerous assaults on
efficiency of the police department, ;
toduy agreed to a conference on
Monday with the city council pot-
ice committee which has demand
ed that Russell gets results or
get out. Alderman Arthur Albert,
who launched the attack against
the police department, was named
attorney for the council police
committee to meet with the com
missioner.
At the same time Col. Robert
I. Randolph, president of the As
sociation of Commerce, called a
meeting of directors to consider
new means of combating gang out
rages. The newspapers were unrelent
ing in their sarcasm about the
work of the authorities ami had
fresh new first page editorials
calling on the citizens to force
reforms by breaking up any alli
ance between" crime and politics.
Colonel Randolph, in culling his
meeting said "We meet Monday
to consider the terrible conditions
of lawlessness in, Chicago and
what measures should be taken
for maintenance of civil govern
ment and protection of our citi
zens. There is a complete break
down of law and order."
Alderman Albert declared Mayor
William Hale Thompson had re
mained silent regarding his de
mands for removal, at least tem
porarily, of Commissioner Hussell
and Chief ' of Detectives John
Stege. "There Is no one in author
ity at city hall to whom I may
appeal. Its executive offices are
empty and have been slnco the
day Lingle was killed."
The police, rounding1 up all cul

The latest development In Mi

BIG THREE
Three Cent Reduction For

Excess Stock and Price
Cutting Cause Of Action
Byjexaco.
I HAjN FRANCISCO, Juno 14 P
An Immediate reduction of three
I cents In gasoline prices at pumps
In California, Oregon, Washington,
I Nevada and Hawaii, was announc-
, eel today by three major oil com
Panics In what wiw generally re-
garded as inception of a gasoline
price war.
Reduction of gasoline prices
from 20 to 17 cents by the Texas
company was followed by the
Standard Oil and Klchftcld com
panies in the Bay region. A similar
reduction in other Pacific coast
territory was also authorized by
the parent firms. Two other large
oil companies were expected to
meet tho cut Sunday.
The reduction to retailers from
refineries look the form of a di
rect cut in the wholesale rate in
stead of a rebate as in former
price wars. KxcesB stocks on hand
at refineries and sporadic price
cutting by independent dealers on
the Pacific coast was given as tho
reason for the Texas company's
action.
Kollowing tho announcement
yesterday by the Texaco OH com-,
pnny that it had lowered Its gaso
line price t'0 220 per gallon, It
was not long until other companies
in Medford followed tho load. The
price cut 1m general the length of
the coast and does not Involve any
local situation, being governed
principally by tho law of supply
and demand.
In the present ' case, it Is ex
plained, tbo supply of gasoline ex
ceeded the demand and brought
about the cut. There have been no
indications how long the price cut
will be in effect and la the first
time such a drastic cut, 3c, had
been made" in Medford for months.
There had been no cut at this sea
son for several years.

"wo don't know whether they are
going to reform or try something

"There were at least 10,000 men
In the rum running racket. " tho
collector declared In answer . to a
question, "and T should way that
at least 0.000 of them lived on the
U, S. side of tho border."
Three weeks ago these men were,
engaged, so far as their starting

registered their whisky, wine, beer

tho Canadian side of tho bojZiv.

watched their movements. It was
only when the runners' boats cross

Congress completed lis lengthy

its final stump f approval on tho :
document, 222 to 153 and placed j
upon the shoulders of President j
Hoover the question whether u

There was no doubt In tho
minds of administration leaders In
both houses tonight that the pres
ident would affix his signature to
thn bill, probably next week, after
ho has studied Its complex provis
ions and obtained counsel of ex
perts and Interested federal de
partments. Speaker Longworth signed the
bill after tho vote and In the pres
ence of the entire membership, as
Republicans, overwhelmingly in
tho majority, rose and applauded.
Vice-president Curtis will sign it
Monday and It will then go to tho
White House.
