buildings occupied by gambling clubs.
The bombs were the thirty-second and
thirty-third that have been hurled in
gambling establishments within the last
two years. No one was injured, but
many windows were broken and stLre
stocks were damaged.
The first bomb exploded soon after g
O'Clock in a building at go State street
and the other explosion followed fifteen
minutes later in building near La Sale
and Madison streets. In the State street
building the Empire Club an alleged
gambling organization. has quarters.
while the building at Madison and La
Sale streets houses the Worth Jockey
Club, which keeps handbook on horse
races.
For two years a series Of bombs have
been exploded internationally In Chicago

to be due to a quarrel between syndi-

Explodes in Clubroom.
The police after investigating the cir
cumstanoes found that the first bomb had
been set off apparently on one of the
upper floors of the building occupied by
the Empire Club, formerly managed by
Social" Smith and Harry Perry. A bomb
was exploded there a year ago last July.
Since that time Smith and Perry have
sold out to a syndicate. which began
operations few days ago.
This syndicate, 1t is reported. had also
obtained control of the Worth Jockey
Club i'm Madison street, where the second
bomb was fired. In both places hand
books on horse races were operated. In
the Madison street building the ground
floor is occupied by a saloon. The club
is situated on the fourth floor. On the
fifth floor is q hat mandatory, and this
was damaged far more than the club
rooms.
Guests of the La Sale Hotel. across the
street from the Worth Jockey Club, were
startled by the second explosion.
In both cases alarms of fire were sound
ed, but no fire resulted from the eXplO-
sionS No arrests were made.
