The downtown Chicago bombing
was at 21S-22O North Clark street,
just outside the loop and within a
block OF the Hotel Sherman, many
of whose guests Were aroused by the
report. The building bombed is used
as an employment agency on the
second floor, while on the street
floor it is occupied by saloon.
A negro porter. West Carpenter,
was the only person in the place
when the explosion occurred. He was
not hurt. He could give police little
information concerning d possible
motive. The front of the saloon was
demolished. although the interior
escaped serious damage. The bomb,
which appeared 10 have been made
of dynamite, tore a hole in the floor
and showered debris into the cellar.
Witnesses who We're in the lobby
of the Hotel Martin across the
street said there had been no au-
tomobile passing the place for sew
eral minutes before the explosion,
which led the police to believe that
the bomb had been timed and con-
cealed inside the saloon, near the
front door

US. Atty. Gen. Denies Intention
Of Searching Houses

Washington. Aug. 81 Pl--Atten-
ton drawn to the enforcement of
prohibition by more or less spec
tacular raids in large cities has led
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt to
declare emphatically that the de-
partment of justice does not include
in its war on liquor unnecessary
ha:rassment OF citizens.
The assistant attorney general in
charge OF prohibition prosecutions
wants it made plain that enforce
ment of the liquor laws is to be
TO the letter but she also said, in
discussing the situation last night.
that all regard is to be given the
rights OF the public. She insisted
that no new Interpretation of the
prohibition laws as applied to homes
is sought, or needed.
She would make no direct COM
ment on statement attributed to
j. H. S. Clifford. United States dis
trict attorney in Minneapolis that
the law made no distinction in pro-
hibition violations between mans
home and his place OF business"
Instead she referred to the law
governing the search OF homes and
declared that this could not be done
legally without the proper warrant
and that a severe penalty was pre-
scribed for illegal search of dwell
ings.

Carney and Eddie Decker. half
backs; "Trip Greene, guard; Chaun-
cey Hubbard, fullback, and Johnny
Hoben, quarterback.
The Els line, from tackle te
tackle, looms up rather strongly in
preseason calculation, but the ends
and backf1eld situation are going q
give Coach Nal Stevens d lot Of
work. The graduation of Scott and
Fishwick last June leaves the enc
berths questionable.
Garvey and Decker are rated a.
sure bets for halfbacks. but there is
still a question as to whether Hober
will be in the game this season due
to an injured shoulder. Hubbard

New Britain herald., 1928-08-27

The result of all this arguing is
that the two teams are going to get
together and draw up terms. Wild
cats were never more ferocious to-
wards each other than the two team
managers are in this discussion and
If their teams and the followers of
their clubs are of the same opinion.
this city is bound to be treated to
some real, high spirited competition.
Terms of the agreement to be
reached between the two clubs will
be made public tomorrow. Each
team will post a suitable bond as
guarantee of good faith and the bat
tie will probably be on tomorrow.
Yesterday the Falcons scored
seven-inning victory over the Ran
gers The rain which shortened the
game, made it difficult for both
teams to display their best base
ball. 1t wasn't a fair opportunity
for either the Falcons or the
Rangers and Immediately after the
game, the two managers got together
and arranged to play series of two
out of three. Yesterdays game Will
count in the series as victory Tor
the Falcons. The dates Of the other
games will be arranged little later.
kensinRton went baSeball-leSs over
the weekend. Saturdays game IN
Taftville was called off on account
of rain. Yesterday, through a mis-
understanding, the Bristol Endees
failed to put in an appearance. Inc
Kensington team is entitled to take
the game by forfeit but it is hardly
likely that the team will do this.
The subject will be taken up at g
meeting of the club tonight.
Rain interrupted many sports ac-
tivities over the weekend and
spoiled the well laid plans of the
various baseball managers. The City
league games had to be called off and
the start of the Hartford County
"Y" tennis tournament had to be
delayed.
1t is the hope OF every sport tan
that during the present week the
weather will be fair enough to al
low the games to be played as per
schedule. All of the contests post
poned have caused the various
leagues to be extended a week. In
dustrial league games will be played
tomorrow. night and Thursday night
