CHICAGO THROWN
WIDE OPEN FOR
ELECTION FIGHT
Talk of Martial Law To
Quell Lawlessness of
Gangsters.
by United Press Leased Wire


CHICAGO, Mar. 21.-Two bombs
wrecked the homes of United States
Senator Charles Dcneen and Judge
John j. Swanson last night and to-
day Chicago was thrown into such
turmoil as the heat of election
campaigns and gang wars never
produced before.
The word went out on all sides
this morning before the city had
recovered from the first shock of
the two bombings, that the lid was
off.
The city was wide open for the
duration of the primary cam
paign, it was agreed. Bricks for
precinct workers, bullets for ward
leaders and bombs for ma ior poll
tical figures had been rule of the
campaign. 1t was just a question
of who would come next.
Threats of state action to super
cede the power of Chicago and
Cook county law authorities were
met by counter rumors, wild and
uncredited, of prospective decla-
tion of martial law by Governor
Len Small to prevent seizure of the
law enforcement machinery by
forces opposed to District Attorney
Robert f. Grove and Mayor Will
liam Hale Thompson.
Hesitant inquiries by frankly
skeptical district attorney agents
were crossed by thoroughly deter
mined investigation by federal sec
ret service agents.
District Attorney Grove offered
reward of $4,000 for apprehen-
sion of the bombers and at the same
time charged in formal statement
that the bombs were set by support
ers of Senator Dcneen to discrcdit
Grove and Thompson.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Sen-
ator Deneen, Republican, Illinois,
was Informed early today upon ar
riving here that his home was
bombed last night in Chicago. He
made the following comment:
"In my judgment the bombing
of my home last night was the work
of organized and protected crimi-
nails of Chicago and Cook county
in their desperate effort to retain
political control of the city and
county.

BUILDING OUTLOOK
DECLARED BRIGHT
Conditions in Industry Are
Sound, Says New York
Bank.

Conditions In the building industry
of the country generally are sounder
than they have been for some time,
and leaders in the industry are looking
forward to a good year in 1928, the
National City Bank Of New York states
In its February review. just made public.
lone Of the most reassuring features
of the present situation is the good be-
ginning made on the new year by the
building industry" the review says.
"The value of construction contracts
awarded throughout the country in
January was IL per cent greater than
those awarded in January year ago,
and even the figures OF permitted build
ing in leading cities. which heretofore
have been showing consistent decreases.
recorded a gain, further confirming the
indications that the slump in construc-
ton work has reached bottom.
Notwithstanding the large amount
of building that has been going on in
recent years, leaders in the industry
look forward to good year In 1928.
On the whole, conditions are said to be
sounder than they have been in some
time, with a falling off in speculative
building, a concentration OF work in
more responsible hands, a labor supply
rendered more efficient by the presence
of some unemployment and an abun-
dance of funds for financing projects"
