GAMBLING WAR IN CHICAGO
Mysterious Explosion Wrecks Several
Business Blocks in Downtown
District.

Chicago, June 27.-An explosion. sup
posed to have been caused by dynamite.
did great damage i'm the business district
here tonight, injured two or three per
sons severely and wrecked stores and win
dows for a block, near Clark and Wash
ingtOn streets
The exact nature of the explosion is
unknown because Of the great amount
of debris thrown around the alley where
it occurred. The police think it another
in the series of gamblers war bombs that
have mystiiied detectives for more than
two years.
The scene of the explosion was in an
alley i'm the rear of the central tele-
phone exchange. This exchange was I'M
able to do any more business during the
night. Two restaurants facing on Clark
street were blown practically into the
street food and dishes being scattered
over the car tracks.
In this alley also was the rear entrance
to Powers & Gilbert's saloon. head
quarters for Martin 3. Madden and his
associates i'm the building trades
Madden and his men are figuring large
~ i'm labor disputes at present and have
/ been the subject Of grand jury indict-
meuts.
Another place opening into the alley
which was badly damaged was the cash
/ register store Of Mont Tennes who is
! also alleged to conduct several gambling
! places. Tennes' place has been raided
/ frequently by the police and another bomb
| was exploded there a year ago
/ on the opposite side of Clark street
] two windows were crashed. The street
| was covered with glass an inch thick.
/ Iron gates fronting the alley were bent
/ inward by the explosion The crash was
/ heard for miles.
The police estimate the damage at 800 -
/ 600. One theory is that fifty electric in
/ stallers who have been on strike against
/ the Chicago Telephone company. which
I suffered the greatest damage. NAV have
! been behind the deed Another is that
Z gamblers who have suffered loss through
/ cooperation Of the telephone company
| with the police sought TO retaliate Twen-
! tv-five thousand telephones were put out
I Of service by the explosion
number of girl operators were at
I work Many of them tainted and others
! ran from the building.

been his fifth shutout I'm succession, Civ

against him and Ann+s will have to con-

innings without a run, which viii PROB

some time. The big crowd Of fans Jhat
gathered at the ball park yesterday was
all with Annis in his efforts. and while
no one would COnCedc for a minute that

getting one, was side issue, but II S

the fourth, with one man out, Fitzgerald
walked. He was out at second on Gard

drew a walk. 1t was here that Kirby

liberal toward them. But it was not hits
alone that brought the runs across. for
the team had an off day especially i'm the
throwing line. A record of seven stolen
bases shows only too plainly that the
guardians of the bags must have been
dreaming on several occasions. The Nj
ners did get busy on one occasion, and
that was in the sixth, when, with the
bases filled, the local boys began to play
tag between third and home resulting in
two of them going out on a continuous
play.
Little McQuaid came in for one Of those
sensational catches of his again in the

PORTLAND LIQUOR PETITION
FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE

Portland, Oregon. April go
The discovery has been made that
the Gothenburg initiative petition
does not contain an enacting clause.
and is therefor vitality defective.
Without an enacting clause, even
though the proposition be passed by
the people, the measure would be in
effective, is one contention, although
others assert that the adoption OF the
measure by the people makes it eff
fective. despite the absence of the
enacting clause.
Naturally, a fight will be made by
the hackers of the Gothenburg meas
ure to keep the measure on the bal
lot should the city attorney recon-
mend that IT be ignored, and in the
event of its adoption by the voters
he Gothenburg crowd will bring the
question into the courts Notwith-
standing that the Gothenburg people
paid 10 cents for each name placed
on the petition, there is no assurance
that enough of these names will stand
the checking test. 1t is known tha,
many of the names specifically eX-
amined will have to be rejected by
the clerks when the list is gone over.
Should the list of names fall down,
there will be no occasion for Barbur
to place the measure on the ballot
with or without an enacting clause.

According to an authentic report
which can not be confirmed as to de-
tails, some farmer living near Pendle-
ton has been swindled out of a large
sum of money. The exact sum is not
known but it is believed to be in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
Sheriff Taylor is in full possession
Of the details but he is in Portland to-
day and it is not probable that he
would give out anything if here. De-
puties Funk and Blakeley evidently
know little or nothing about the case.
District Attorney Phelps is also in pos
session of some facts or alleged facts
in connection with the swindle but he
is evidently of the opinion that no
good can be rendered the public by a
publication of the details of the game
at the present time.
First public information concerning
the swindle came from North Yakima,
to which place the swindlers were
supposed to be going. AS the infor-
nation was sent to the officers there
by Sheriff Taylor there can be no
doubt of the truthfulness of the re-
port.
One of the swindlers goes by the
name of H. C. Howard and some
times uses the alias of Hall. The
name of the other fellow is not
known.
According to the best reports OBJ
tainable locally. the farmer was in
terested in land deal. Though the
transaction was supposed to be some-
what shady the farmer was to be
given by far the most favorable end
of the deal. One of the features Of
the game was for the farmer to show
that he had a sum of money equal to
that which the strangers had. This
being done, the combined sum was
placed in a grip before the farmers
eyes and turned over to him for safe
keeping while the swindlers came to
Pendleton to complete some details OF
the transaction.
When after couple of days the
strangers did not return, the farmer
opened the grip to find he had moth
ing but some worthless paper, the
strangers having worked a slight of
hand trick of some kind on him.
1t was but a variation of a game
which has been worked in every part
of the country, particularly the east,
for a number ofyears.

Salem, April 30.-The railroad
commission today issued an order
making wholesale reductions in rates
enforced by the Pacific express COM
pany. Merchandise class rate be-
tween Portland and Huntington, now
four dollars per hundred, was re-
duced to three dollars. and a rate of
$225 between Pendleton and Port
land will be substituted for SO rate;
and the rate from Baker City is re-
duced from $3.75 to $3.50; La
Grande from $3.50 to s2.55.
The reduction applies to all points
on the o. r. & n. road in a cores
ponding degree. The Dalles being the
only exception. The order becomes
effective in twenty days after the or
der is served on the company,
For several months the commission
has been investigating comparing the
rates of the express company in
oregon and rates enforced in other
states. It was learned that rates are
far lower in Missouri and Texas, and
other states than in oregon. The COM
mission has determined that the rates
in Oregon are unjust and unreason-
able.
1t is believed that If the express
company regards the new order as
reasonable they will not resist it, but
if the reduction is greater than they
anticipated they may seek an injunc-
ton.
y similar investigation is beinh
conducted by the commission relative
to the rates of the Wells-Fargo Co
on the Southern Pacific road.
