TWO BOMBINCS ARE REPORTED
 FROM CHICAGO
Once Again Defiance Is Hurled at War on Or
 ganized Crime

CHICAGO, H.. Feb. 1S.-Dyna- mite bombs, silent for three weeks, have ripped their way through two buildings in separ- ate parts of the city.
 The home and undertaking es- tablishment of Judge John Sbar- baro were bombed almost at the same time a blast tore away portion of the Century garage. The latter place has been frown- ed upon by the police as a gang ster hangout.
 Coming less than a month after the bomb attacks against the homes of City Comptroller Fitz- morris and pr. William Read. both of whom are close friends of Mayor Thompson, the bombing of Sbarbaro's home and business place Is looked upon as another defiance of the city administra- tion for war upon organized crime.
 No one was hurt in either place. The Judge had received threatening letters.

 Since CiuiI Var Days

OTTAWA, H., Feb. 1S--James Kelly. oldest hotel clerk in Hi nois, attributes his longevity and good health to little exercise and not too much fresh air.

 The veteran clerks only vaca- tion was forced on him after more than half century of un- broken service. He returned af- ter a few days and told his em- ployer he went to an Iowa town and "sat around" in the hotel there.
 q chased you away from ho- tel to get a vacation" said Louis Harvey, owner of the Clifton and president of the Illinois Hotel as sOciatiOn.
 The Illinois association has for. mally declared Kelly the oldest clerk Tn the state in years and n service.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S-Rapid liquidation of the public debt was opposed in the House by Repre- sentative Garner, of Texas. rank ing Democrat of the House Ways and Means Committee, on the ground that foreign countries would insist on cancellation of their dehts to the United States as soon as the American debt was wiped out.

Presid ent Believes Con- gress too Liberal with
 Appropriations

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S-Con- gress, in the opinion of President Coolidge, has been too liberal In it's appropriations and the pros. pect for tax reduction has cor respondingly been endangered.
 Congress, as the President sees it, has added from six to eight million dollars to the Army ap- propriation bill above which he thought necessary and has doubled the appropriation for the Shipping Board Also the House has added $65, 100000 to the tax reduction bill above what he thought should be the cut, all of which in the Presidents opinion has made tax reduction further remote.

BOAT SUDDENLY l PLUNCES DOWN AT BOW, IN BAY
Passengers Submerged and Washed Overboard-
 Eight Still Missing

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. I1S.-lAt least eight persons were 6till missing when the police and Fescuers checked reports today in jan effort to ascertain the number |of casualties in the accident to |the ferryboat Peralta from whose decks an unknown number of passengers were swept into San Francisco Bay last night. Revised figures showed 10 per- |sons, believed to be on the ferry Hast night when the passenger laden prow dipped into the bay, had still failed to return to their homes.
 The number of passengers swept into the water are still un- determined and investigators are without means of checking. The estimates of the passengers plung- l ed overheard were up to 100. The |official list shows IT were rescued |although others were taken from the water and not reported. What caused the submerging | of the forward part of the ferry las it sped toward Oakland dur ling the evening rush, remains undetermined.
 Six persons originally reported missing, returned to their homes. Search at Night During the night q systematic |search of the bay failed to reveal |trace of the bodies.
 Although the ferry was not loaded to capacity, which Is 4,000 persons, large crowd was aboard. Many had gathered on |the lower forward deck. Sudden |ly the huge ferry lurched down. ward and scores of passengers in | the bow found themselves sub merged. Dozens were washed |overboard.
 Pademonium broke out among 1.-the other passengers who thought |the ferry was going down. Air Filled With Cries Women knelt on the decks and prayed while men attacked the lockers filled with life-preservers. The air was filled with cries of those struggling in the water and screams of the women and children on the decks. The Peralta's crew was ordered to the life boats, as the ferry slowly settled back to even keel. The ferryboat Hayward, which was passing near the scene, launched life boats as did the naval training station at Goat Island. few hundred yards from the scene.
 The choppy water was strewn with hats and bits of wreckage. The rapidly falling twilight handicapped the rescue workers.
 Missing Persons J. w. Collins. Lewis Kean, w. Sayre, Bert Tangrer and Walter ! Foley, all of Oakland.
