CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 3O.-Pl-
Eight persons were under arrest to-
day following raids conducted against
what Deputy Commissioner O'Con-
nor has termed the "bomb trust"
A raid on a near Northside hotel
where four men were taken, frus-
trated, police believe, an attempt to
bomb the city-owned Lawndale Isola-
ton hospital. The hospital bombing
was planned, said detectives, as an
other dynamite intimidation of the
administration Of Mayor Thompson.
Homes of two of his closest political
associates, City Comptroller Charles
Fitzmorris and DR.. William H. Reid.
were bombed last week.
The Fitzmorris and Reid bombings,
the warning that the Lawndale hos
pital was to be bombed and the tele-
phone threats Of Saturday against
the apartment building in which
Mayor Thompson lives have been
linked to~ether as part of a "bon. b
trust" plan to intimidate Mayor
Thompson for clamping the lid on
gangsters and open gambling.
Walter G.. Walker, assistant states
attorney. said he believed the hotel
raid and the investigation preceding
il had supplied sufficient events to
warrant the asking Of "a score or
more" indictments from the grand
jury today.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-R-The
cotton market opened firm at an
advance of 9 to 10 points, active
months selling IL to p points net
higher in early trading On active
covering and fresh buying supposed
to be for both trade and investment
account.
Demand evidently was promoted
by relatively steady Liverpool cables,
reports that Notwithstanding recent
low temperatures, there was still
danger Of boil weeyil damage to tie
coming crop, and a theory that the
recent decline in prices might have
a tendency to check increase in acre
age.
May sold up to IVA and October
to l7.42 and while the advance met
further liquidation and southern
selling, prices were within a few
points Of the best at the end Of the
first hour.
The early advance extended Ia
1884 for May and 1850 for October,
or about % to 80 points above sat
urday's closing figures. The demand
tapered off somewhat at these quo
tations, however, prices reacting
several points from the best under
realizing BY buyers OF late last
week. This seemed 10 be coupled
with some future liquidation and
southern selling. At midday May
was selling around 1857 with the
general market III to II points net
higher.
