Bolton a fewhours before dawn today and detectives who went on the trail of his killers blamed Chicago's powerful gambling interests. Bolton, three-time member of the Illinois assembly, sponsored legislation to license handbooks in the city. The measure, militantly sponsored both by Bolton and Mayor Edward J. Kelly, would have ruined

many operators, police said, and was reason enough for enemies to wish him out of the way. FANS TO SELECT FOOTBALL STARS Vote For Stars To Oppose • Detroit Lions On 1 September 1 Chicago, July 9. (U.R) The na- • tlon's foolb’nll fans, whose demands 1 for gridiron thrills crammed the game with razzle-dazzle, took the 1 third annual all-star game Into their own hands today and began balloting in 4b states to select an "all-star" College team to challenge the Detroit Lions In Soldier Field, September 1. The world professional champions, often described as the greatest football machine ever usaentblcd. replaced the Chicago Bears, who were held to a scoreless tie in the first all star classic and barely won the second, 5 to 0. Voting of the fans, which will continue two weeks, will name the actual all-American starting lineup. The coaches picked in a later poll will be required to start the 11 men receiving the highest votes for their respective positions. While the middlewest and north Atlantic states provided most of the support the last two years, the slate of Texas, home of a halfITozen leading elevens last season, promised to elect its share of all Americas from Southern Methodist. Texas Christian. Rice Institute, University of Texas and ofhMinnesota's perennial Gophers, who plugged the heavy all-star line in 1935. again led the field in total candidates, with Notre Dame ami Ohio State helping them uphold the middlewest. In the west. Stanfords Rose Bowl champions, the University of California and University of California at Los Angeles nominated their stars, while Princeton, North Carolina. Duke and Louisiana State led the east and south. Regardless of the college combination chosen, the powerful Lions will go into the floodlighted game favorites. The famous Detroit running attack. led by Earl (Dutch) Clark, ran away from eVery defense in the national professional football league in 1935. it is regarded as the ideal weapon to employ against the alert, hardened collegians who had little difficulty halting the Bears’ power plays in their two games. The college stars will report at Dyehe stadium at Northwestern ' university August 13. They will practice 18 days. Coach Potsy Clark of the Lions indicated the professional champions would train in Detroit, arriving in Chicago the day before the game. o Trade in a Good Town—Decatur.

Clayton Brown, employes of the ( tiny municipal electric plant which | the mayor has converted into a pub-! lie utility in violation of a court in- j junction. Convicted on contempt charges, the three went to jail Monday for failure to disconnect customers being served by the "Toy" utility. The Habaes corpus petitions, filed by Arthur Sayler—who narrowly escaped imprisonment by resigning as city attorney—contended that filing of appeal bonds preparatory to taking the case to the State supreme court should have stayed judgment. Judge Sumner Kenner set hearing on the petitions for 9 A. M. July 13. Bangs already has a contempt conviction appeal pending before the supreme court , taken after he •spent 101 days in jail last summer in connection with his utility fight. o .
