the Herald and Examiner said the city's citizens are at last aroused to a pitch of wrath where "all who shared the rich, illicit profits of the half world must share the punishment of exposure." "In this murder," the Herald and Examiner asserted, "gangland attained the ultimate in ruthless slaughter and drew not only the wrath of the reputable element in Chicago but also the serious attention of the press throughout the United States." Public Patience at End. "Public patience is at an end," the paper continued, and "public officials are vowed to end all faltering with crime." "The cold-blooded murder of Jake Lingle has all the appearance of an attempt of the gangsters to terrorize the newspapers," the Evening Post commented. "For that reason thi Post yesterday announced that it. would pay $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of Lingle's assassins. "An attack on one newspaper is an attack on all.

In large measure, the hope of the community for effective warfare against its enemies lies in the possession of courageous and outspoken newspapers. Chicago has such a press and the present occasion seems to us one on which it should demonstrate that it is united." Roused Every Agency. The Daily News said: "Gangland today has roused against it every agency of law-abiding citizenry civic organizations as well as governmental authorities." Speaking in behalf of the Evening American, Manager Editor James Bickett stated: "We will Join wholeheartedly with other Chicago newspapers in the campaign to put a stop to gang depredations, A silk glove for the left hand and a short-barreled revolver fTom which the serial number had been cut away, tonight were the only tangible clews on which authorities pinned hopes for the capture of the man who yesterday shot down Lingle in a crowded pedestrial subway leading to the Illinois Central suburban station at Randolph street, near the public library. Pat Roche, chief investigator for the state's attorney, had his squad scouring the city for a left-handed former, cpnvict, saying the man was known to the police as a killer. Glove Found Near Scene.

The glove was found near the scene of the murder and was presumed to have been used by the assassin to prevent finger prints on the weapon, with which he fired a buiiet into the back of Lingle's head. The slayer cast the pistol aside as he darted to his escape through throngs of people in the subway and Michigan avenue. Police were able to find one man who said he saw the actual killing and got a good look at the assassin. He was Clarke Applegate, sports man and former owner of a string of race horses, also en route to the Washington park track. Applegate said he was walking with his wife and that Lingle was about ten feet ahead of him.

"He and I were good friends, but I didn't see his face and didn't know it was he," Applegate stated. "A man stepped up behind him and shot him in the back of the head. I ran after the assassin, but up cn Michigan avenue I saw a policeman chasing him, so I went back and joined my wife." Grudge or Gangland Spite, The slaying of Lingle, who for eighteen years reported crime and gang news for the Tribune, was ascribed by Commissioner of Police Russel to a private grudge, while others held it was due to gangland spite. The assassination injected vigor into a hearing before the city Council police committee on charges that two detectives efficient in the harassing of gangsters had been transferred to ineffective duties on complaint of gangsters. Aldermen James B.

Bowler and Arthur F. Albert charged at the hearing that some policemen were in league with gangsters and permitting "wholesale slaughter." Score Rounded Up. Police rounded up more than a score of criminals in their searcn for Lingle's assailant, but did not subscribe to the theory held by the reporter's friends that he had been put on the spot by gangsters for his investigation of the ten recent spectacular slayings before his made the eleventh in the last few days. The Inland Daily Press Association, through E. H.

Harris of Richmond. its president, declared in a telegram to the Tribune that if the "The Outsider," Norman Green will portray Ragatzy, who, because of his amazing cures by means of his original treatment and because of his lack of degrees and titles from any of England's academic Institutions, is considered an outsider a quack-by the Royal Society of Surgeons. One of his most famous opponents has a beautiful young daughter, who has been lame from birth and who has never been cured, in spite of professional care from the nation's outstanding surgeons.

The transmission line outside the city will be between forty and fifty miles in length, and will be erected on four-legged steel towers eighty-five feet high. On the west side the line will be practically on a line with the Chicago division of the New York Central lines, just east of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. On th- south side the line will run one and one-half miles south of Troy avenue.

On the east side it will run east of Hunter road. The route on the north side has not been determined. Three substations for stepping down the current fed by the tower lines will be erected as a part of the transmission system. One of these, serving the northwestern section of the city, will be at Thirtieth street and the Chicago division tracks of the New York Central. The northeastern substation will be at Knssler boulevard and the Nickel Plate railroad, and the one on.

the southwest at. Warman avenue and Morris street. Mne Will Circle City. From these stations lines will distribute current to their consumption areas. The tower system will accommodate two high tension lines, but for the present only one will circle the city, with a second line extending from the Harding street plant to the northwestern substation.

According to Emmet G. Ralston, vice president and engineer of the company, the transmission line outside the city wa3 undertaken after exhaustive study of the most efficient means of serving the present city and preparing for its future oWtrirAl needs. The circular trans mission has the advantage of giving two sources of supply in case of a break in the line, since current ran be fed from both directions to the break. The circular system has tho further advantage of a wide flexi bility of load to meet future growth of the city in any direction beyond the proposed line. System Tried Elsewhere.

Extramural transmission lines have been undertaken nt Toledo, O. Pittsburgh, and Chicago. Electrical engineers and operators believe they will be gen'-rally adopted in all large cities as the most effi cient means of distributing the con stantly increasing loads (lemr.noea bv consumers.

Not so long ago the sight of women on a political convention floor was a novelty. Yesterday the feminine portion of the Democratic party was as active in selection of the party's state ticket as were the men. Many of them were attired in their party frocks and others in tailored attire and the many hues of their clothing lent color to the spectacle. The Rev. Frank Klingensmith, pastor of the Friends Church of Carmel, delivered the invocation at the open ing of the Although the Democratic party seems to be livinc very much in the present f.nd future, the names of former prominent members of the party evoked continued applause every time they were mentioned by speakers.
