ANARCHY IN

Police Puzzled by Frequent
Dynamite Explosions the
Past Three Years
LIFE AND PROPERTY UNSAFE
Twenty Six Bombs Hurled From
Elevated Railroad Platform
Last Night.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Bombs to the
of thirty-six and thirty-seven,
in a war between two factions of gam
blers, were exploded last night in
places five miles apart within forty
five minutes of each other. No one
was seriously injured, but the dam
age to buildings is considerable. The
Friedberg dance hall on Twenty-sec-
ond street near Wabash, and the
Woodland cafe, Sixty-third street and
Cottage Grove avenue were the
marks at which the bombs were hurl-
ed. 1t is believed that the second
bomb was intended for the alleged po-
litical hall adjoining the Woodland
cafe. For three years the police have
been in turmoil over the mysterious
explosions which have caused serious
injury to a number of persons and
thousands of dollars OF damage. 1t is
believed that last nights bombs
were thrown from an elevated rail-
road platform.

THREE FACTIONS
IN COLORADO
Initiative and Referendum
Play Havoc With Re-

STATE CONVENTION IN SESSION
GO. P. in Centennial State as
Badly Divide as Elsewhere
in Nation.

Colorado Springs, Sept. 20.-The
Republican state convention opens
here today. 1t promises to be marked
by hot fight over the platform, par
ticularly the Endorsement of the ini-
tiative and referedum amendment to
the constitution to be submitted to
the voters this fall The convention
is divided into three factions, one ia
voring the Endorsement of the pro-
posed amendment, one of the Repub-
licans who voted for the amendment
in the special session, now asking to
be commended for their action but
that the endorsement be withheld
from the proposed amendment itself
and the third faction opposing abso-
lutely the principle of initiative and
referendum.
Will Endorse Taft.
Colorado Springs Sept. 2O.-A spe-
cial conference was called last night
by the state chairman to lay the
working foundation for the Republi-
can convention, failed. The result af-
ter a tumultuous session and quar-
reling is that the issues will be fought
out in the convention. Another fea-
ture of the platform over which there
will be big struggle will be the en-
dorsement of the Taft administration,
steering wide of any mention of the
tariff and endorsing the Roosevelt
policy with a certain degree of hearth
ness. State Senator John B. Stephen
of Colorado City, advocate of the ini-
tiative and referendum who has a
strong labor following, Rush L. Hol-
land of Colorado Springs, a corpora
tion attorney and past grand exalted
ruler of the Elks, and Merle D. Vim
cent of Paonia, a laborite and out
spoken ''insurgent" are the leading
candidates for governor.
Taft and Roosevelt Equally Cheered.
Colorado Springs, Sept. 2O.-Clyde
&c. Dawson of Denver was named
temporary chairman by acclamation.
His references to Taft and Roosevelt
were equally cheered. The usual
committees were then named and

1872 Mr.. Tittmanns mother was the
daughter of William D'Oench, a
wholesale druggist of St Louis, first
park commissioner of the city, one of
the founders of the Boatmen's bank,
and member of the convention which
saved Missouri to the Union.
After his fathers premature death
young Tittmann was taken to Europe
where he was educated at the Real
Gymnasium at Karlsruhe, Baden. AT
the age of 10 he returned to his native
country and studied law at the Co
lumbia University, now George Wash
ington University, Washington, D. c.,
where among his regular teachers
were such men as Justices Brewer
and Harlan of the U. S. supreme
court. Graduating after two years
with the degree LL B. he went to
New York and took a postgraduate
course at Columbia College Law
School, and clerked in the office of
Sullivan & Cromwell.
Admitted to the bar of New York in
1894, he went to st. Paul, Mimi,
where he was admitted to practice
and became active in Republican pol
itics. AS secretary of the German
American Sound Money League he
stumped the state for Mckinley. In
1898 he returned to New York where
he was engaged most of the time as a
writer on financial topics on various
newspapers and magazines. AS a re-
suit of the knowledge acquired in
Wall street he changed his politics
and became Democrat. In the spring
of 1908 he removed to tiillsboro to
! look after the financial interests o1
some friends. In the fall of that veal
he ran for the legislature on the Dem
ocratic ticket but was beaten by Ju
liam Chavez. In the spring of 1910 he
was sent to Washington by citizens oi
Sierra county where he secured the
repeal of the Sierra county seat re
movaI bills. He was nominated fol
delegate to the constitutional conven
ton by the Democrats, and was en-
dorsed by the Republicans.
In 1905 Mr.. Tittmann married the
daughter of John S. MacLanahan
then of st. Paul. They have three chill
dren, two boys and one girl.
