TdE hyviang S AR, “LOANS T0 LINGLE @] BY GANGS AIRED Investigators Hear Rumors “of Threats of Raids Unless Paid. . By the Associated Press. .CHICAGO, June 27.—The law looked today to the lawless for help in solving Jake Lingle's murder. Into the inquiry of the Tribune re- porter’s murder had come information of large loans made to Lingle by gam- bling house keepers. The State's at- torney wants to know who made the loans and why. The borrowings of Lingle, the investi- gators said, also included sums from Maj. Carlos Ames, president of the city civil service commission and Republican nominee for sheriff; Alderman Bert Cronson, nephew of Corporation Coun- sel Samuel Ettelson, and from Ettelson himself. There was also the matter of & canceled check for $500 written by Lingle and cashed by Police Capt. Dan Gilbert, in charge of the central police " detail. Gilbert expressed willingness to tell the grand jury about the check. He said Lingle met him one night and sald he needed $500. The police officer lent it to him, and later was repaid hy Lingle with the check, made out to “cash. Thes rumored coolness existing be- tween Lingle and George (Bugs) Moran, rival to Al Capone for Chicago gang sovereignty, was recalled to investigators :ggone development yesterday involving Sheridan Wave Club, a North Side gambling place in which Moran was said to have been interested. The investigat- ors heard that on the night of June 9— the day of Lingle’s murder—Joey Josephs and Julian (Potatoes) Kaufman had announced the Sheridan Wave Club ‘was to be reopened. The club had been shut down following the Moran gang massacre of February 14, 1929. Say $15,000 Demanded. Josephs and Kaufman will be ques- tioned, the authorities said, concerning & reported $15,000 advance “fee” de- manded of them to permit the reopen- ing of the club. The gamblers will be asked, if it was true that they re- fused the ‘demand and that as a result a threat was made to “have the joint }tnocked off by the police the minute ‘The investigators also heard the loans tumored to run as much .as $20,000 were made to Lingle by Sammy Hare, owner of the Dells Winter Club and of the Dells, a roadhouse.. The significance of this transaction was not revealed. ‘The board of strategy which is in charge of the Lingle murder inquiry . also was informed there had been trou- ble between Lingle and Frank Newell, said to control handbooks operating in many Loop office buildings. The investigator who has been seek- ing information concerning the Sheri- dan Wave Club, according to the Herald and Examiner, was told that Lingle de- manded a fee of $15,000 to permit the place to reopen. When was re- fused, the mvesug-wr was told that Lingle said, “If you open, 'l see more police squad cars than you ever saw together before.” Had Police Connections. ‘The inference in all the rumor and report concerning gang and gambling connections of the reporter was that Lingle, through his close police con- nections, was in a position to make or break any one operating an unlawful “racket.” So far as the investigators have revealed, they have as yet no proof of such dealings. They know only that mnzle was a close friend of the recent police commissioner, William Russell, and that he also, through his newspaper work, was well acquainted wflh many gangsters and gamblers. rporation Counsel Ettelson denied hlvlns made a $5,000 loan to Lingle. ‘Maj. Ames, however, recalled lending $2,500 at a time Lingle said he was in need of such a sum. Alderman Cronson also recalled making the reporter a loan, but did not remember for how much. An official of the State's attorney's office said that immediately following the raid by State’s attorney’s men on the Biltmore Athletic Club, Lingle tele- honed him. He quoted Lingle as say- “This raid put me in a fine jam. I told those fellows to go ahead and run. ©Of course, I didn't expect them to run nke a house afire.” The investigators said nothing so far developed has caused them to slow down their hunt for James (Red) For- sythe, :u:gecbefl as being the actual yer of the reporter.

Millinery, Second Floor polated by a group of singers and a large orchestra, was one of the most pleasing of the evening’s features. Ably directed by Miss Sade C. Styron, these musicians did much toward heightening the dramatic intensity of the play. ‘The cast, well rounded in every re- spect, read the lines with distinction. Anne Ives played the role of Antigone | with grace and understanding, Helen Sheckells was a pleasing Ismene and James Otis Porter proved a past master in his interpretation of the role of Creon, King of Thebes. John Paul Jones as Haemon, and William J. Peters as Tiresias, the prophet, seemed espe- cially effective, and even such minor parts as the guards and the chorus leader were well taken care of by Wil- liam Hepner, Paul Alexander and Mrs. Robert Le Fevre. Singers in this production included Alice Edwards, Mary Apple, George Roth, Thomas Seay, jr.; Robert Griest, Frank Scrivener and S. Nevitt Smoot. The orchestra was composed of Mrs. Mary Ware Goldman, Avalle Newell, Mary Park Clements, Helen Foster and Frank Hobden. E. de 8. M. Cod now is the most popular fish for food in England.
