Faces $200,000 Damage Action (Special to The Eagle.) Los Angeles, June 10 While process servers were looking for him with papers In the $200,000 suit brought by Miss Cano Morris, self-styled chorus girl, Charles T. Davis, millionaire, ex-convict and former head of the Davis Geclt asMs: I Rockaway Lawyer (H '4. 15 DOYLE PAROLED PENDING APPEAL TO ESCAPE JAIL Continued from Fage 1 tomorrow or Thursday for hearing on the appeal.

Had Doyle's bail bond been completed and signed before the United States Attorney's sudden appearance, it was believed, the Issue of his going to jail would have had to wait until the court resumes In the fall before reaching the calendar. Or, with the bail bond signed, the erstwhile horse doctor would probably have been able to stall oft efforts for an immediate appearance by developing a sudden illness. Craln Continues Probe While Doyle's circuitous moves were receiving; a setback from Mr. Tuttle, District Attorney Crain In Manhattan continued hi Grand Jury investigation centering on the activities of Chairman William E. Walsh of the board before which Doyle practiced with such remarkable success.

Mr. Crain began presentation to the panel this afternoon of evidence bearing upon Walsh's occupancy of a apartment at 23 E. 86th Manhattan, at rental of $1,500 a year and related evidence that the building in which Walsh resides was permitted to be erected only after Walsh's board had overruled the Building Department at the behest of Doyle. Doyle represented one of his best paying clients the Masses Building Corporation in this proceeding, and officers of the concern, including Samuel Oolding, president, were taken before the jurors. There was one other way In which Doyle could avoid going to jail and that was by telling the Federal Grand Jury with whom he spilt fees in 1922, 1923 and 1924.

It was believed that Doyle would go to jail rather than tell. Judge Woolsey sentenced him last night, but in conformance with a promise made last week, gave nim until today to start an appeal, Doyle has held tenaciously to the theory that if he did tell he would be incriminating himself In income tax matters, and stand good chance ot facing prosecution for making out false income tax returns. Held In Contempt Tn spite of implied and direct statements that he would not be prosecuted, Doyle has continued to interpose the objection to all questions, that to answer would incriminate him. The end came yesterday when Samuel Fa lk, Doyle's attor Mrs. Oscar Hammersteln (left) leaving Woman's Court after being sentenced to one day in jail on an immoral conduct conviction.

Since she had been held in Harlem prison since last Friday, the sentence meant immediate freedom for the Impresario's widow. surgical supplies manufactur- ing firm of BrooKiyn, aisap Deared from his luxurious foothills bungalow near Tujunga. Davis, who served 9 yean in Dannemora for the killing of Brooklyn detective, came here a millionaire, his $57,000 business having grown during hit jail term to $2,900,000. Last week two suits developed against him. One by Miss Morris, who charged betrayal under promise of marriage.

The otner was a suit for divorce, which Mrs. Davis, in Reno, said she was preparing to bring there. S. S. Hahn, attorney for Miss Morris, said today that, since Davis is among the missing, he has two process servers trailing Austin Davis, Charles T.

Davis' 21-year-old son. In the divorce suit, it was said, Davis will insist that, though his wife successfully conducted the Davis tt Geek business while he was in jail, her success was due to the fact that he followed the advice he gave her from Dannemora. i Mulrooney Tells Cops Patience Is Essential Cautions Men to Serve Public in Speech at Elks Club 3,000 Hear Him Police Commissioner dward F. Mulrooney came to Brooklyn today to make his first address before a large gathering of patrolmen, since he became a commissioner. He spoke before' 3,000 patrolmen at the annual meeting of the Pa trolmen's Benevolent Association, which was held at the Brooklyn Lodge of Elks.

His visit and his speech were brief and Informal. He arrived accompanied only by Chief Inspector John O'Brien and First Deputy commissioner Philip Hoyt. The entire meeting was behind closed doors, but at its close Jo seph P. Moran, president of the association, told something or tne proceedings. The Commissioner, in his address, said he had his own idea as to the type of service which policemen, and especially patrolmen, should give citizens.

He advised the men to be "always patient with citizens" and to "carry on under the rules and regulations." He himself had done so, from a policeman up to Commissioner. The following officers of the association were elected: Joseph P. Moran, president; George Mulrooney, first vice president; George Leonard, second vice president; John Cummtngs, treasurer; Charles Monahan, recording secretary; Herman Mc-Manus, Thomas O'Brien, John R. Thompson and Joseph P. Miller, financial secretaries; Jeremiah O'Leary, sergeant-at-arms; and Arthur Romer, Valentine Standing, Warren Keating, John Nugent and Philip Clark, trustees.

Simpson Favored To Fill Seat Left By Judge McAdoo Manhattan Magistrate Is Considered First Among Possible Successors Magistrate George W. Simpson of Manhattan was today considered as among the leaders for the position of Chief City Magistrate, left vacant by the death last week of Judge William McAdoo. No decision had been made, however, and in political circles it was expected that Mayor Walker would not make any until the return to the city of John F. Curry, Tammany leader, tomorrow. Other names mentioned as possibilities for the post were Magistrates Joseph F.

Corrigan and John V. Flood and former Magistrates Freschl and Oberwager. Magistrate Alexander Brough also received some support, but his appointment was considered unlikely in view of the fact that he is a Republican. It 'was stated by friends of Mr. Walker that the Mayor intended to elevate one of the sitting magistrates to the vacancy.

In addition to Simpson the names mentioned today included Judges Joseph E. Corrigan and Edwin Rosenbluton, Political Foes Orders Prosecution of Three Reconciliation: With Helen DouWd Bucharest, Rumania, June 10 King Carol professed toddy to have forgotten the activities of political enemies against him while in exile, but he moved quickly to punish those of his enemies who committed new offenses. Upon' learning that Dr. C. An-gelescu, who was Minister of Edu cation in the last Liberal Cabinet of MM.

V. and J. Bratianu, had spoken dlsrespectfuly of him at a Liberal meeting yesterday, he or dered him prosecuted immediately. Dr. Kostlnescu, Mayor ot Bucharest, and Dr.

Demetrescu Braila, former Minister of Health, were or dered prosecuted likewise for similar offenses. Their party, named Liberal, but actually ultra-Conser vative, was said to have voted yes terday not to support the mon archy, although not suggesting rev olution. King to Free 20,000 I In contrast to the moves to sup press objectionable political enmity. King Carol ordered that all charges of a pardonable nature both political and growing out ot temper caused by extreme distress against 20,000 persons still accountable for military offenses during the World War, be quashed. All acts and ordinances promulgated during the reign ot the boy-king, Michael, Carol's son, were confirmed.

Meanwhile the new sovereign was engaged in forming a Cabinet to replace that of M. Mtronescu, which resigned as soon as Parliament had proclaimed him King. Carol first, as a matter of courtesy, asked Professor Nicolas Jorga, his old tutor, but Jorga could promise no suc cess and Jullu Maniu, resigned peasant Premier, was summoned. It was said today that Mania wished Carol to come back to Rumania but as regent rather ihn as King, since he felt that he was only just beginning to fulfill his prom ises to the country, and he wished to retain the influence had w.th the regency, not being sure but that Carol as King would be less unc'r the influence of his friends than he was as Prince, After a two-hour conference M. Manlu left Carol's presence visibly cheerful and told the press that while he was not yet entrusted with the formation of the government he felt that he could find colleagues within 24 hours among his own party.

His words were considered significant that he would head the new regime. it is still mooted whether the Princess mother, Helen, will tie- come reconciled with Carol which the King desires very much or remain apart from him. Latest re-poi say that Carol will be crowned in October at Alba Julia, without a Queen at his side, but attended by his little son, Michael, as Prince of Alba Julia. It was believed in political cir cles that Princess Helen will choose a home away from the capital but near enough to watch the education of their son. She is a Princess of Greece, and has no status in her own country now, and so may not return there.

Strong forces are being brought to bear to gain her consent to annulment ofthedivorce from Carol.

Trap Robbers i Xlue to Blurder Seen in Work-Capone Aide Linked by Witnesses Chicago, June 10 One of the greatest murder hunts Chicago ever has seen was organized today. Police, State's Attorney's men, private detectives and the organized power of the press Joined to track down the man who yesterday killed Alfred (Jake) Lingle. 38-year-old reporter for the Tribune. Rewards totaling S30.000 were nosted S25.000 bv the Tribune and i ii if 1 nv da -n cairn urii i ri rn.ni, he Press Club of Chicago Issued a atement that It stood ready to post an additional $10,000. Caught Cuttea Robmers Lingle was Instrumental In track- Ink down eight robbers over a period i of as many years for Arthur Cut-ten, prominent grain trader and personal friend.

This circumstance held place today In a multitude of theories on motives for the re- porter's slaying. The cutten home In Downers Grove was Invaded by nine robbers eight years ago. After looting the place they left Cutten locked in a vault to suffocate. He was rescued by a houseman who had freed him-" self from bonds. Mr.

Cutten vowed to spare neither time nor expense to bring justice to the robbers. He sought the aid "of Lingle, who was credited with -the work which eventually landed eight of the criminals in prison. 'The ninth was expected to be captured shortly. Lingle went to Cleveland last April 6 as a personal representative "of Cutten to Identify for him Simon Rosenberg, one of the robbers. Rosenberg was returned to Chicago to face charges.

He had hidden out In Cleveland several years. Two hundred or more persons were within a few feet of Lingle he was shot down at 1:35 o'clock yesterday afternoon, yet the slayer not only escaped but left witnesses with a confusion of stories as to Just what happened. Killer's Gun Found Early today the Investigators revisited the murder scene the subway that dips under Michigan Boulevard at Randolph St. and leads to the Illinois Central Station. They wanted to recheck every possible means of escape that the slayer may have taken.

Already they had the killer's gun, a pocket revolver of and they had the black silk glove worn by the killer to prevent telltale -fingerprints. There were many witnesses, rid almost as many dliTerent stori what happened. Several, how r. tentatively Identified rogue gallery pictures of Sam Hunt, Capone gunman, as closely resembling the man who killed Lingle. Hunt, carrying a shotgun In a golf bag, was arrested a fortnight ago on the northwest side shortly after a gang gunning In which the body of the victim was spirited away.

He is out on bond under charges of carrying concealed weapons. Victim Friend of Capone Lingle Is the first newspaperman, the Tribune pointed out, to be murdered since Don R. Mellett, Canton, Ohio, editor was slain In July. 1920, following his crusade against gangsters there. Lingle's 13 years as a Tribune reporter nve been devoted largely to police te-'portintf and Investigation, a Job that has brought him Into contict with most of the "big sho;" gangsters of Chicago.

He was well acquainted with Al (Scarface) Capone, among others, and once was entertained i the Capone home in Miami. The Tribune reporter, reputedly wealthy enough to retire but staying on the Job through pure Joy of the work, was working on the ohain of gang murders that hve been committed within the last 10 days. He himself became the eleventh victim. Because of his wide acquaintanceship, the Tribune said, Lingle frequently was sought out by gangsters and racketeers who wanted him to use his drag" to help them promote some Illegal enterprise. He Would Warn Them "Invariably he told them he could gain no such permission for them even if he tried," the Tribune said, "and that if they attempted to go ahead with their plans they would surely be brought to answer before the law.

Every branch of law enforcement promised full and unrelenting prosecution of the hunt for Lingle's slayer. Commissioner Russell said: "I'd give my two eves to solve the murder of Al Lingle. Nothing that I can do will be left undone." Chief of Detectives Stege, who also was intimately acquainted with Linjle, said: "I haven much, but I would give all I have to be able to arrest the man who killed him." Roundup in Order Bweeping orders for a roundup of gangsters were issued Immediately after the body of Lingle was Identified. Several arrests followed, but none of the prisoners was believed to have been the man who fired the single shot Into the back of Lingle's head. One man arrested was John J.

(Boss McLaughlin, former Legislator, who police learned had sought Lingle's aid In starting a gambling racket. Lingle refused, and police were told that McLaughlin threatened to "get even." McLaughlin denied ever making any threats, and professed friendship for Llnnle. The slain newspaperman was married and the father of two small rhiklren. LOST ANYTHING?

Fink Answers Magistrates in Housing Dispute Says Judges Must Help Tenement House Force to Remove Fire Hazard Unless magistrates will assist the Tenement House Department teae-ments will never be fully occupied or safe from fire, Joseph H. Fink, secretary of the Housing Commit tee of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities, stated today In what he termed a reply to Magistrates Ray flel and Walsh, with whom he has engaged in a controversy over tenement house affairs and enforcement of the multiple dwelling laws.

'It must be evident," he declared, "that the reluctant owner will never carry out an order Issued by the Tenement House Department when he knows that he will receive a suS' pended sentence if his case should reach the courts." Fink said that the magistrates often handle 195 cases between 8 o'clock and noon and added, in re ply to statements of Magistrate Walsh, that it makes lltue diner ence whether cases are dismissed or sentences are suspended as far as holding owners responsible for con ditions is concerned. trouble caused by the storm, but workmen, when notified, began repairs at once.

a hi Sues for Divorce; Names Many Men Wife in Florida Charges Corning G. McKennee Is Acting on 'Frameup' Corning Guilford McKennee, Rockaway Beach lawyer and poli tician, has brought suit In Supreme Court for a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Ruth Evelyn McKennee, to whom he was married July 1, 1815. He charges that she was guilty of misconduct with numerous men while she was at Miami Beach, during the months of March, April and May, and that ber conduct was such that the local Juvenile Court took away the custody ot her 13-year-old daughter, Muriel, and sent that child back to McKennee In Rockaway Beach. The other child, corning Jr, 11, an Invalid, was left in ner custody.

Stephen Callaghan, former Su preme Court Justice, as attorney for Mrs. McKennee, applied to Justice Druhan today for $7400 counsel fee and $75 a week alimony for his client, telling the court she was the victim ot a frame-up engineered with the aid of a woman named Ida siawson, who rented room of Mrs. McKennee in her Miami Beach apartment. The wife's affidavit alleges that because of the Siawson woman's behavior she had to put ner out. William F.

Morris Jr. appeared in court for McKennee and told Justice Druhan that he was giving his service gratis because his brothw practitioner could not afford to pay him fee. He said McKennee's entire net income last year was about $5,900, although he owns the building on Rockaway Beach Boulevard that houses the local Municipal Court and the public library, and a big apartment house. McKennee In his own affidavit called himself "merely a small town practitioner," with a meager income from his law practice. He said he and his wife separated some time ago and she knew his income and accepted $55 a week alimony, consenting to reduce it to $40 a week when Muriel was taken from her.

Three attempts today by O'Con-nell's attorney, former County Judge Nash Rockwood, to delay further the proceedings, were cut short by Judge Coxe, who overruled motions to dismiss the indictment, to give the defendant the right to inspect Grand Jury testimony and to suppress the evidence against him obtained by the Grand Jury. The Court said it thought It was about time the case was disposed of. O'Connell has been at liberty in $25,000 bail, which expired today.

Caraway Makes Proposal to Deal With Cannon Def i Will Announce Plan When He Has Reached Agree ment With Other Mem hers Washington, June 10 Of) A proposal to ask the Senate for specific power to Investigate political activities was made today by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, as a way eat ot the problem resulting from the de-nance ef the Lobby Committee by Bishop James Cannon Jr. Washington, June 10 (ff1) Sharply divided, members of the Senate Lobby Committee sought today to agree on what to do about the defiance of Bishop James Cannon Jr. Chairman Caraway held informal conferences with other committeemen. He haa devised a plan for dealing with the churchman but declined to make it public pending an agreement. Whether the othei members would sanction the proposal was problematical, but the Lobby Chairman said he hoped some decision would be reached during the day.

Caraway, who was absent when Cannon refused to answer questions about his 1928 anti-Smith activities and walked out on the committee, has partially studied the record of the hearings and hoped to finish today. He said he had learned enough to give him a definite idea of what should be done. He refrained from intimating what course he favored. Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, who has been acting chairman, and Senator Blaine, Republican, Wisconsin, contend r.e committee did not exceed its poweis tn questioning about political activities and that Cannon was guilty of contempt. 8enator Robinson, Republican, Indiana, sides with Cannon.

Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, hos not made his position known. A formal committee meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. Claudia Dell, Follies Girl, Wins a Divorce Los Angeles, June 10 Claudia Dell, 19, former Follies girl and now a motion picture actress, has obtained a divorce from Phillip G. Offin, the husband she said deserted her for "no apparent reason." "After being married only a short time, he suddenly left," she testified. "I never knew why.

"We were married two years ago when I was 17. Just one of those foolish girl stunts. No one knew I was married." ney, told Judge Woolsey in open court that the "witness will not answer." Then the Judge ordered him held in contempt. Doyle got one small break yesterday. Judge Woolsey ruled that he would not have to tell the amounts he split, but Falk insisted that even that would not help.

It was Falk's contention that if Doyle told with whom he split fees he would in ef feet be telling the amounts, because such things could be traced. The curious thing in the Doyle situation is that there is no inten tion of prosecuting him or any one else for fee putting. In fact, that is not a crime. But ir bis tale of lee splitting showed the Federal officials that he or some one else had made out false Income tax reports prosecution would be possible. He has promised to tell whether he split any fees with any official of the Board of Standards and Appeals.

Refuses to Answer Question Four times Doyle was haled into Judge Woolsey's court. Each time he listened carefully to part of the argument of the attorneys and then went out into tne nan to pace up and down, and to Insist to reporters that ho wasn't worried, and that he had nothing to hide. But each time he went back, after the arguments were all over, and in the Grand Jury room, again refused to answer ques tions. The attorneys frankly believe that Judge Woolsey Is in error in his decision on the length of time that the statute ot limitations has to run. Woolsey said that Doyle would not have to answer for his acts in the past three years, because he could be prosecuted for anything be did then.

But he held, befoae that he was protected by the statute. CONWAY LOOMS AS CANDIDATE FOR VAUSE JOB Continued from Page 1 year, if McCooey falls to Indorse him.

G.

O. P. to Make Hard Fight Undoubtedly the local Republican organization, neaaea by Meier Stein-brink, will make a hard fight to regain the single place on the County Court bench it lost when Algeron I. Nova defeated. Reuben L.

Haskell. Conway, according to the prevailing opinion, would make a strong candidate for McCooey, who could easily overcome whatever objection Conway mglht have to quitting the post of State Superintendent of Insurance by stressing the need for a first-class nominee. Conway, running for Attorney General in 1928, made a good showing in Brooklyn and a fair showing throughout the city, but was trimmed by Ward's strength in the western part of the State. Smith, a close personal friend and confrere of McCooey. is highly regarded in the party.
