for a Neighbor.

Chicago, April 12.-Following a sim
liar outrage in the same district
Thursday, the explosion of a bomb in
front of H. E. DOSES grocery at l63

newed terror throughout Italian resi-
dence districts of Chicago. Doose is

Many of the Italians were question
ed by policemen, but refused to talk.
while others said they did not see
anybody run away from the place.

Bitter Rivalry Of Three Caua=
dian Organizations Reveals
Scheme at Detroit.
FORTUNES IN The BUSINESS
immigration Authorities Have Scant
Hope OF Reaching the Priuci-
pals in the Plot.

Detroit. Mich, April u. - Through
the bitter rivalry of three Canadian
organizations for smuggling Chinese
into the United States a wholesale
scheme of bringing the Orientals lille
gally across the international border
here at Detroit was discovered yester
day It is said that several comforta-
BILE fortunes have been made at the
business during the past two years by
enterprising young men who have
made Windsor. Ont. their headquar-
tiers. The immigration authorities
here have scant hope of reaching the
principals in the three competing
agencies, but man who gives his
name as A. McMann is held at the
Wayne county Jail in connection with
the capture last Tuesday of three Chi
nese at Adrian, Mich. The Cinnamon
and McMann were found in a Wabash
box car bound for Chicago. There was
dead horse in the car and the four
men were concealed under the straw.
How It Was Worked.
The plan was to engage a freight
car at Detroit for the shipment of
horse, some worthless animal being
placed in the car for blind. The
Chinese, it is said, have been freely
brought across the Detroit river on
the railroad car ferries, being hidden
with the connivance of employees on
the boats until the immigration in
spectors had made their rounds and
then being hurriedly directed to
empty freight cars. The following
day they would be transferred to
freight cars especially engaged, and
usually started west on a train which
makes only one regular stop between
Detroit and Chicago.
