CHICAGO ON VERGE
 OF NEW GANG WAR
Closing Of Gambling Houses
 Causes Many Outbreaks

Chicago. Nov. 10 (Up)-Chicago
 today apparently was on the verge
 of new gang war with possibilities
 of being as fierce and bloody as the = battle of the beer barous in years
 gone by.
 Dosertion of the Deer racket" by
 sansstcrs who saw liklihood Of | higgcr profits from gambling houses i caused the new flare of enmity 1 between rival cliuues.
 Police made q desperate effort 10 1 prevent the war by closing all
 gambling enterprises but though 1 most Of the establishments locked their doors in response 10 word from headquarters that the racket was
 Off, il was believed they would be opened again after a few days The cause of the war threat was entirely economic. The beer busi-
 ness has been falling off for months. partially because of excessive com petition and partly because retail CTS learned the secret Of mixing a barrel of 'real' beer with three barrels of near beer 10 obtain the product sold to drinkers. That cut down the profits of the beer run ncrs to such degree that they were threatened with starvation. or at least with having to sell some of their lmousincs.
 As a result, the beer runners started opening gambling houses and for several weeks new establish ments dedicated 10 faro, black jack. poker, coon can, policy games and. in the better residence districts. roulette have been cropping up con stantly.
 Competition became keen. Mem bcrs of the west side gang started invading the south side; the south siders went into the north side dis trct: and north siders spread back 10 west and south.
 The dividing lines between the sang districts are as sharply drawn as national frontiers, and lnvasions by rival Eangsters are as serious in the gangst"r code as violation of Jugo-Slavian by Bulgarian troops is in diplomacy.
 The police attempt 10 close the | gambling houses came much as League of Nations interference in . disputes, but the rec ords of the gangs in Chicago leaves little doubt but that the police effort will be useless.
 Already first signs of warfare have appeared. Flight hombings have occurred in 4S hours One ! was in a Hammond theater and two were blackhand affairs with no bear ing on the gang war. The others damaged gambling houses and beer shops. and were regarded as the first flares of the war to come.
 More significant than the increase n number of bombings-thrcc or our week Is normal for Chicago. was the fact that T N T and nitro slycerine bombs apparently were be ng used instead Of the relatively harmless black powder bombs here . oforc favored.
 Black powder bombs usually in lict only mild damage, forcing tenn ,orary suspension of business in tho 'ombed establishment. T x T and generally wrecked uildings more or less permanently. |
 The situation between the gangs | oday was much like that between ations when diplomatic relations ave been broken off but war has l ot yet been declared.
 The declaration. which will be lade with machine gun bullets athcr than amba ssa dOrial passports, nay come momcntariy.
