police to drive this FORM of gambling
out of the city.
Probably the most remarkable fea-
ture of the outrages is the indomitable
daring displayed by the bomb thrower.
His method of calling up the newspa-
pers to tip off his explosions and his
anonymous letters giving the careful
details of his plans serve as drum and
cymbals to advertise the helplessness
of the police and to spread consterna-
tion throughout the present admins
tration from the mayor down. The let
ters are all written in the same hand
writing, and never yet have his tips
failed to be true.
i've Just touched off another one at
261 Wabash avenue" he recently tele-
phoned. There's a gambling place on
the fourth floor there"
The telephone message was received
almost simultaneous with the explo-
sion, which proves that the dynamiter
must have used time fuse. The build
ing, a five story brick, was almost
entirely wrecked. AS usual the police
denied any gambling was there, but
newspaper reporters and the firemen
found any amount of evidence that the
bomb thrower's tip was as reliable as
ever. Racing forms and all that goes
with them to equip bookmaking

age of one room, and in another there
was a complete bridge whist layout.
This was all on the fourth floG., occu-

In one of the latest of these trips the
bomb thrower promises a double
header for the next explosion He
says:
"The next will be a double header
and will be close enough for the chief
and his boss to hear 1T sputter. They
know where the layouts are and it will
be dead easy for them-to guess where
the next noises are coming from. Many

he describes it, says the woman wore q

by small sailor hat. The man was
dressed in blue suit and slouch hat.
At latest reports the detectives were
searching for a woman In Morgan park
a Chicago suburb. in an effort to throw
light on the private life of one of the
three suspects under arrest. 1t is be-
lieved that she can give important in
formation in the search for the man
who threw bomb No. 81.
Then 1t is probable that there is no
other city in America where gambling
dens are frequented by women so ex-
tensively as in Chicago. They are
regular patrons of the Chinese gam
bling places in the Easements along
South Clark street. where the mysteri-
Gus forms of Chinese gambling are In
dulged in. Not only do they .patronize
the regular poolroom. but there are
poolrooms and euchre resorts for the
exclusive patronage of women. Several
of the feminine gambling resorts have
been raided by the police. One of the
most recent was woman's poolroom,
where handbooks were being made on
the races at Hamilton and Sheepshead
BAY. The place was conducted by
@Ted" Nevlin, young man who is not
on the inside of the gambling ring.
The dope sheets and lists of patrons
presented to the court during the trial
of Nevlin showed that the women
placed their bets under such names as
Tillie, Eva, MolIie, Lillian, Nellie, and
initials, such as M. B., r., etc. Some
of these are known to be prominent
women OF Chicago, but only the pro-
prietors of the game were taken in the
raid.
There are said to be IA other woman's
poolrooms of this kind in Chicago,
three of which are conducted by James
O'Leary, while public euchre games at
which the women pay for admission
and receive a money prize on winning
flourish in all parts of the city.
Is a Woman Responsible?
There is a peculiar feminine shrewd-
ness possessed by the boldest and
smartest of women outlaws which the
police have not been trained to cope
with. If woman really is back of
the present reign of terror this may
partially account for the seeming ap-
athy of the police department.
However, the leading newspapers, the
citizens and the bomb thrower himself
are taunting the police with the charge
that they know well who is responsible.
for the outrages.
The utter failure of the police de-
partment to find the dynamite mis-
creant has given force TO the oft re-
iterated charge;
The men higher up know who the
bomb throwers are, but dare not arrest
them for fear the whole shocking story
of police protection of gamblers will be
made public"
The newspapers have done every
thing but come out with the names of
those whom they believe to be back
of the bombs. But the parties so
pointed1y indicated seem to have no
fear of the police.

issue says:

Adjacent Buildings Wrecked

The bomb aimed at Tennes' gambling
headquarters In Washington street, for
instance. damaged 80 different build
ings, the destruction in some OF them
being greater than to the gambling
headquarters.
Acting Chief OF Police Schuettier was
sitting IN his ONCE in the city hall
three blocks away at 1915 p. m san
day, when this explosion occurred,
causing the city han building to rock
so that 1t almost threw the police ON
Ger from his chair.
The first one OF the series OF bombs
was exploded directly after Mayor
Busse had come out with an interview
saying there was not a gambling hall
running in the city. Since that, such
declarations from official sources have
invariably been followed b. the ex-

erty. The police officials in question do
not wish to arrest these men, although
they pass them in the street almost

act is that If they should do so all
the inside history of police protection
of racetrack gambling weuld become
public at the trial OF the dynamiter or
dynamiters, and a gigantic scandal
would be the result. These officials are
quaking for fear that the explosions
will become so violent that they will
kill some one, and that they will be
forced to act"
This statement in the Daily News is
the more remarkable from the fact that
the News heretofore has been stanch
supporter of the present administra-
ton. which it helped to elect.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Criminal Pointed Out
"A now prominent society man, but
formerly expert safe blower and
gambler, is said to be at the head of
the bomb throwing gang. He is said
to have threatened that If he is ex-
posed he will unfold details of years of
protection to gamblers and resort own

ing:
The bombs can be silenced only by
the granting of the demands of the
dynamiters for money, or by the clamp
ing on in Chicago of the lid so that all
racetrack gambling shall cease. The
police must do one of two things be-
fore Chicago will be safe from these
explosions. They must either force the
organized handbook gamblers to pay
the dynamiters thes weekly sums they
demand or they must stop gambling"
Thus it seems that the explosions
are the result of a guerrilla warfare
waged on the combine of racetrack
gamblers operating IN Chicago by a
group of safe blowers and others who
are seeking by this means to get upon
the payroll of the combine, and failing
in this are determined. to force the
