DYNAMITE OUTRAGE

Chicago. June 2S.-The cause of an
explosion in the heart of the city last
night which, wrecked a telephone ex-
change and did damage to property
estimated at 100000, injured one
man fatally and hurt fourteen 9TH
ers, vas today still unexplained. The
police are unable to determine wheth-
er it was another gamblers war" out
rage or an attempt to injure the tele-
phone company. A number of en-
ployes of the company are now on
strike and it is thought this may have
some connection with the explosion.
It was also thought possible that the
gamblers may have had something to
do with it because of the refusal of
the company to supply a service for
the use of race track gambling.

peared in white suit and many
members were attired likewise:
Senator Clapp. when the corporation

In connection with the same meas
ure Senator Culberson proposed a
modification whereby the senate may
obtain possession of the information
gathered by the commissioner Of in

Senator Aldrich is nettled at the
delay to force tariff legislation to the

The action of the senate will merely
have the effect Of throwing the cot
