cipal topics. Both as an announcer and at other times, he vigorously attacked the Mayor, and incurred the dislike of the leading gangs by his radio attacks on gambling, which had an important effect, in arousing opinion against the Mayor. At the time of the murder of Mr. Alfred Lingle, the crime reporter of the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Buckley used the radio to attack the increasing power and audacity of the gangs- ters, and it is thought possible that his death was an act of private revenge by a party of gangsters not connected with the mayoralty cam- paign.

Although Mr. Bowles had many powerful supportera, Including Mr. Henry Ford, his recall was voted by 120,000 to 89000. He is expected to be a candidate again in the new election, which has to be held within 30 days.

In the course of conversation, he mentioned that he had been in com- munication with two other women, a nurse named Peggy, at Lancaster Gate, and a widow at Hampstead, but he preferred her. The widow had an income of £6 a week, and the nurse £1,000. The nurse had offex- added ed him £500. Miss Jones that on April 18 he proposed to her, and was accepted, at a West End hotel.

The marriage was fixed to take place on August Bank Holiday, and he made it a condition of the en- gagement that she should give him 2500. He said, "However much '1 love you I cannot marry you unless you have this money.

Miss Jones said that she frat gave Caldwell £50 and then £250. Out-of the £250 be bought the engagement ring, and paid £20 to the matrimonial paper, £10 to the man and £10 to the woman as intro- duction fee. -
