BOMB NO. p SET OFF
tCHICAGO STORES WRECKED By
ANOTHER EXPLOSION.
Faint and Others Hurry from
Building When the Conclusion

An explosion supposed to have been
caused by dynamite did great damage
lin the business district in Chicago
Sunday night and injured two or three
persons severely and wrecked stores
and windows for a block near Clark
and washington streets.
The exact nature of the explosion
remains q riddle, because of the great
amount of debris thrown aroun the
alley where it occurred. 1t is proba-
BILE another series of the gamblers
war bombs h a have mystifed the po-
lice OF Chicago for more than two
years. Bomb No. 20 in the series
wrecked a saloon a few nights ago.
The center Of the explosion Sunday
night was in an alley in the rear Of
the Central Telephone exchange. This
exchange was unable to do any more
business during the night. Two res
aurants facing in Clark street were
blown practically into the street,
food and dishes being scattered over
the a tracks.
In this alley also was the rear en-
trance to Powers & Gilbert's saloon.
headquarters for Martin B. Madden
and his associates in the building,
trades. Madden and his men are fig
uring largely in labor disputes at the
present time and have been the sub
ject OF grand jury investigation. An
other place opening into the alley,
which was demolished to an equal de-
gree with the saloons, was the Cash
Register store OF Mont Tennes, who
is also alleged to conduct several gam
bling places. Tennes' places nave
been frequently raided by the police,
n another bomb was exploded there
q year ago..
One theory advanced is that fifty
electric installers who ave been on
strike against the Chicago Telephone
company, which suffered the greatest
damage. may be behind the deed. An
other is hat gamblers who have suf-
fered loss through cooperation Of the
telephone company with the police
sought to retaliate. Twenty-Five thou
sand telephones were put out Of serv-
ice by the explosion.
Thirteen girl operators were at
work. Many OF them tainted and 9TH
ers ran from the building.
