Terrific Bomb Explosion Wrecks
 Chicago Block In Blackhand Plot

Chicago. Jan. 20 P'-The most powerful bomb explosion Chicago police ever have had any experience with wrecked a one story brick building occupied by q wholesale graccry house last night.
 A considerable section Of the north side heard and felt the eN- plosion. Eight persons were injur- cd. Several families were driven from their homes into the near zero night. The property damage was estimated at S1oo,Q0o.
 Find BIackhand Letters
 The building stood at 2lJ4 south port avenue and was occupied by John r. Cullotto X company, whole sale crocCrs. rullotta gave police two letters, each demanding 5000 in cash under threat of death. The letters were written in Italian,
 Witnesses said the explosion was so terrific that the building seemed to rise several feet in the air, then crumblc. Buildings for two blocks around were damaged. Passengers on q street car half q block distant and patients in the AlcNian Broth CTS hospital two blocks away were alarmed.
 The bombing was the fifth within l a 90 hour period, not including an l unsuccessful attempt 10 kill Pat 1 Roche. special investigator for the states attorney, by placing q bomb . in his automobile.
 Cullotta received the second of ; the threatening letters yesterday and , turned both over to the police. Two i officers were guarding his home, ser- cTal miles away, when the bomb destroyed the store. Police explain ed that the letters indicated an at tempt would be made against Gull lottu's life rather thar the store.
 Two seriously Hurt
 Two persons most seriously in irrcd were George sitanciu and Will liam rctraska who were in rc5- taurant across tho street. Stanciu was struck on the head by flying dishes. Jars of fruit hurled from q shelf and the fall Of a glass top from q pie case accounted for PctraSka s 1 injuries.
 Mrs. Frank Ritz. living in third floor apartment of a building across from the bombed store was knocked 1 unconscious when radio loud speaker was flung across the room, striking her head Two women en- tering a building two doors away q ing glass. Two other women and q drug store owner were cut and bruised.
 Tenants of buildings in the neigh borhood sought shelter with friends for the night, the breaking Of win. dows making it impossible to kccI out the severe cold.

Prosperity is a modern watchword.
Recent events have served to focus
public attention to an unusual de-
gree upon the immediate future of
business Commenting on this phase
OF prosperity, Walter S. Clifford, Presi-
dent of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, recently said to
the Chicago Association Of Com
MERGE:
AT such times when perhaps the
present is too much with us, it seems
to me to be helpful to take long
look backward and a long look for
ward By doing so we can refresh
our minds on the sources of our ma
tional wealth and the prospects for
continued economic progress in spite
of any temporary Embellishments
which may momentarily obscure the
horizon"
This country today, Mr.. Clifford
stated, enjoys an average standard
of living far higher than that which
obtains in any other country at pres
ent or any country at any time known
10 history. This condition is often
ascribed to the country's boundless
natural resources.
These resources are important, but
in trying to fashion q true picture.
it is worthwhile to remember that all
of these natural resources were here
before the Civil War, and at that
time there was no stream OF foreign
observers landing on this country's
shores to discover the secrets Of its
prosperity.
The country had, 1t is true, made
use OF the land, cut from the forests,
mined coal, iron and precious metals,
set up some manufactures and built
up q prosperity well beyond that OF
the Colonial period. -
But the possession OF natural re-
sources is not 9 guarantee Of well
being nor prosperity. Natural re-
ources are but tools for man to use

The modern conception Of the coun

Following this line OF thought.
President Clifford announced that the
Bell Telephone System, OF which he
IL the head. will spend over $70O.O
900 in 1880 for plant extensions. ad
ditions and betterments to the tele
phone systems serving the United
States.
To illustrate the type of progress
made by the telephone industry, he
called attention to the invention OF
the telephone by DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell little more than fifty years
ago. In the relatively short time
which has elapsed since human
speech was first transmitted electri.
cally, Mr.. Clifford said that the tele.
phone business has been SO organized
and developed in the United States
that today practically any body, any.
where, can talk at any time of the
day or night to anybody else, any.
where else-not only in the United
States, but in Mexico. Cuba, Canada.
and the most Of Europe.
The ability to render a services of
this magnitude rests upon a national.
lied organization employing over
100000 American men and women,
operating physical properties repre-
senting an investment of $4,000 .O0O,-
900 which are owned by more than
SOC, 900 stockholders.
Constant Improvements are still
being made In the scope. speed and
accuracy Of telephone service, Mr..
Clifford stated, and new methods Of
operation which permit of greater
economy are being devised.
In this industry the ultimate limit
of progress seems to be as far away
as ever. Only short time ago new
service was Observation-Disclosures

knowledge is concerned, the Bell Tele-
phone system has already conquered

communication between, any two per.

person or both on land, on the sea, or
In the air.
"As a matter of fact" Mr.. Clifford
said. at 10 already scientifically but
not commercially practicable for each
telephone user to see the person. with
whom he is talking. but greater scien.

Gated, does not always make Q new
