ANOTHER BOMB
ROCKS CHICAGO
OUT OF LULL
Short Pre- Primary Calm Is
Broken by Explosion
at Residence.
BY c. G. NICOLLET
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, April O. Another
bomb-the sixty-seventh since
October-Shook Chicago out of its
primary calm today.
Police were inclined at first to
blame the blast on alcohol rather
than on politics, but many observers
believed it was the start of a re-
newed election offensive.
It was the first important bomb
ing since the homes of Sem tor
Charles Deneen and Circuit Judge
John A. Swanson were damaged
two weeks ago.
Today's bomb blew out the rear
of two-story frame residence in
Melrose Park, a residential suburb.
Blast in Alcohol Joint
The place was said to have
housed one of the numerous alcohol
making establishments of Joe
Montana.
Montana was closely associated
politically with Diamond Joe"
opposite, henchman of Senator
Deneen, aSsasSinated three weeks
ago
An unusual number of political
sermons Sunday provided the other
fireworks at the conclusion of a cam
paign which two weeks ago seemed
likely to end in serious bloodshed.
A score of prominent pastors
pleaded with their congregations to
unseat the administration, both
State and city, and end what was
termed as ''unholy alliance of crime,
gangs and government"
LOwdcn UncOnteSted
The bombing of the homes OF
United States Senator Charles S.
Deneen and his political ally, Judge
John A. Swanson; the assassination
of Diamond Joe" opposite, Deneen
lieutenant, and the shooting of
William Beatty, Municipal Court
bailiff, by dry agent, all have been
attributed to the political struggle
between the administration faction
headed by Mayor William Hale
Thompson and States Attorney
Robert E. Grove, and the opposition
organization, led by Senator Deneen
The Democratic campaign has
been quiet, both State and county
offices being virtually uncontested
The State campaign has figured
almost as much in factional strife
in Chicago. as the contest for Cook
county offices. The Thompson
Grove faction, supporting Governor
Len Small for reelection, has been
opposed in Cook lcounty by the
Deneen- Swanson group behind the
candidacy of Louis L. Emmerson
Judge Swanson is opposed to Grove
for the nomination for States attor-
ney.
Creates Election Court
The Federal grand jury, which
was instructed last week in laws
covering political intimidation, at
tackS upon the person or property
of Federal officers and freedom OF
expression Of citizenship at the polls
will reconvene Wednesday, the day
after election. Last week it was
thought the grand jury planned to
investigate the Deneen bombing, but
adjournment was ordered unexpect-
edly.
Police prepared on large scale to
guard the polls. A guard Of 5000
police, five-sixths of the city's entire
force, has been assigned to election
duty.

ERA OF Great
PROSPERITY FOR
EUROPE AHEAD
American Gold Puts Nations
on Feet, U. S. Bankers
Survey Shows.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press staff Correspondent

PARIS, April 9-American bank
ers, after careful surveys of the
industrial centers and money mar
ketS of the old world, are convinced
Europe is on the eve of an era of
great prosperity, and that Ameri-
can gold, invested abroad, has put
her there.
Frank A. Vanderlip, after month
of study, told the United Press the
great danger to America from her
extensive holdings abroad is not
political, but economical.
America is as yet compare
lively undeveloped continent" Van
derlip said. Capital which has put
Europe on her feet would quickly
end Americas growing unemploy-
ment worries if directed into do
mestic channels.
Building Up Competition
Labor leaders are becoming po-
litical economists, and beginning to
ask if the free export of capital may
not be as dangerous as free impor
tation of foreign goods.
"They know that fresh capital
devoted to organizing new enter
prises at home inevitably must build
railroads, extend utilities. erect fac
tories, provide additional demands
for labor.
when American savings are eX-
ported to foreign countries it
means the stimulation of foreign
enterprises and the larger employ
ment of labor.
This American savings sent
abroad may be building up compe-
tition with our home industries.
England Far Ahead
There may be political dangers
connected with huge foreign invest
mentS. But for half a century Eng
land did not find such dangers suf-
| ficient to check a steady increase in
the current of her capital abroad.
I'VE hold $14,5O00O0,OO0 of for
eign securities, in addition to the
vast war debts This is not yet as
large as England's totaal of foreign
| holdings.
Since the war England actually
has sent more capital abroad than
the United States"

TOO MANY COURSES IN
COLLEGES CRITICISED
Lack Cultural Value, Philadelphia
Welfare Worker Says.

HCDe1AC NOAhCA says
Colleges, with 200 courses for the
student to pick from, all leading to
a bachelor of arts degree, were crit
icised for their lack of cultural
value by DR.. L M. Rubinow, direc-
tor of the Jewish Welfare Society
of Philadelphia, in the final lecture
of the Open Forum series at Kirsh-
baum Community Center Sunday
night.
Everybody will admit that a cul-
tural education is desirable and al
most necessary for one to face the
problems of life" the speaker de-
clared.
The difficulty is that a student
can not learn about life by going
to school fifteen hours a week,
thirty weeks a year, four years in
superficial atmosphere, and then
expect to jump into a successful liv-
ing of the game of life"

Underground Churches.

IN the Myndd Newydd coal mine, In
Wales. there is an apartment exca-
vated which Is set aside to be exclu-
sively used as place Of worship. This
underground chapel dates back for
more than half a century, and every
morning since its Inauguration (when
the mine is being worked) the miners
have assembled in the edifice to perform
their religious devotions. The chapel
is situated close to the bottom Of the
shaft, so that the miners, on descending
the pit, can go to worship before they
proceed TO their various stations. The
apartment Is strangely lacking In orna-
mentation and adornment The pillars
and the beams which support the roof
are of rough wood. and a disued coal
trolley turned up on end does duty as
pulpit. The miners sit upon rough
benches placed across the chapel from
side to side and the oldest worker at
the mine performs the duty Of pastor.
In the salt mine at Wielezka, Bo-
hemia, there Is Chapel of st. Anthony.
a Byzantine excavation, supported by
columns. with altar. crucifix and life
sized statues of saints, apparently in
black marble, but all made of salt.
