THREE RECEIVED IN CHICAGO.
One Package, Exploded by Rife Fire,
Could Wreck Block.

CHICAGO. January l R)-Three
mysterious packages, at least one Of
which contained a bomb of terrific
force, were intercepted in Chicago yes
terday by police and postal inspectors.
| All were believed to contain internal
machines.
Two of the packages were sent by
express from New York and one by
mail from Chicago. The first two
were addressed to Giuseppe Castruccio,
Italian consul here. and oscar Du-
rante, editor OF rItalia, pro-Fascist
Italian language newspaper. The third
was mailed to TONY Masillo" in care
of the Associated Press. No such name
appears on the Associated Press em-
! ployment roster.
Police fired with q rife at Durante's S
| package, after taking it to the House
| of Correction Quarry, and 1t exploded
with a terrific roar and force enough,
Chief of Detectives William Schoc-
maker said, Ito blow up whole city
! block" The detective said he be-
| lieved it was composed OF nitro
| glycerin and INT.
Will Be Shot At Today
Castruccios package likewise was
taken to the quarry, but was not to be
! shot at until today. A police guard
was stationed at the site overnight to
prevent any one approaching 1t. The
package addressed to the Associated
Press was given into custody Of postal
| inspectors, who planned to dispose OF 1t
similarly.
The first parcel to come to the at
tention of the authorities was that ad-
dressed to Durante, sent by express
from New York, and bearing the re-

Street New York" 1t also bore the
label, Printing Utensils"
Here's a late Christmas present for
you!" exclaimed C. w. Smell, the ex-
press deliveryman, when he entered
Durantes office with the package.
The editor took one glance at the
parcel, remembered he had not ordered
any printing tools, and shouted:
Take it out! Take it OUT"
Smell left and Durante notified po-
lice.
Deliyeryman Pursued.
Several squads took up the pursuit
of the deliVeryman. He finally was
overtaken and the parcel taken from
him.
At detective headquarters efforts were
made to remove the outer wrapping OF
brown paper. small tear revealed a
piece OF insulated wire dangling from
a hole through a cigar -boxlike wooden
container. A piece Of adhesive tape
also was visible. but police, fearful lest
an explosion occur, took it by automo-
bile to the quarry. There 1t was ex-
ploded.
Soon after the Durante bomb was
discovered officials Of the express com
pany received word from New YORK
that a similar parcel had been sent to
Castruccio The package had been re-
ceived in the Chicago express office and
already was on its way to be delivered
at 4034 Sheridan road, the address on
the wrapping. Police rushed there and
found 1t had been delivered to jani-
tor. They seized 1t and also took 1t to
the quarry.
The parcel received by the Associated
Press was similar in appearance to the
others 1t was wrapped in brown paper
with q second wrapping of white tissue
paper bearing Christmas seals and
TONY Masillo" written on the wrap
ping.
Authorities said they believed 1t
might have been addressed by mistake
to the news organizations office.

Milady's Motoring
By FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

decided upon the latter. A week later
one of the pads came of the brake
redal during an emergency stop, and
there's a fender to Straighten out
among other difficulties.
It's too bad some of the women who
struggle to keep the doors closed tightly
couldn't see themselves as others see
them. Only yesterday I saw three cars
with portions OF milady's habiliments
caught in the door jam and tapping in
the breeze.
Spring days are a logical opportunity
for milsdy to aid the family car by
taking it out for a little exercise on the
open road. Most cars are driven too
little and for too short runs Constant
starting and stopping before the motor
is thoroughly warmed up invites car
bon, brings on sticky valves and causes
excessive wear on vital parts by diluting
the oil. The menfolk in the family
may accuse you Of trying to get a new
car by the simple process of wearing
out the old one, but the truth is those
daily rides on the open road are as
beneficial to any car as a brisk walk in
the open is to the man or woman who
drives 1t. Include few hills. See that
the engine has plenty of oil. Step on
the gas a bit.
The weeks safety thought concerns
the Importance of swinging wide when
rounding corner in the city. A reader
tells me she ran a rear wheel up on the
curb in violating this rule injuring q
pedestrian.
Those Of you who like to step on the
gas ought TO take spin with a 90-year-
ola mllhonairesS who daily rides around
the parks Of her city at a speed not
exceeding 10 miles an hour. Frequently
the car travels 5 miles an hour. Her
chauffeur reports that he sees things
ne knows he would overlook altogether
If driving at his more accustomed speed.
But he's worried for fear he will relax
or become sleepy enough to run into
something. Apparently there is a mod
Grafton i'll speed at which our senses
are keyed to action. 1t varies with diff
ferent temperaments The wise driver
tries to avoid exceeding both the speed
and the snail" limits.
When the hand brake failed on an
other woman's car it coasted ahead and
pushed a baby car up on the sidewalk.
An elderly passenger in her car decided
not to remain seated She was afflicted
with heart trouble and found it an
effort to get out and stand up in a
store While the younger woman did her
marketing. Not so surprising that so
many people are afraid to remain in
parked car when you consider how
mSecurely some drivers leave them.

A New Installment.

A new wrinkle probably caused
by the depression is as follows:
Motor vehicle license plates may
be secured in Arkansas on the in
stallment plan and it is believed
that this system will keep hun
dredS of cars in use, according to
the District of Columbia Division
of the American Automobile As
sociation.
1t was declared that "stickers'
are issued in lieu of plates and
different colors are used for each
three months period.
when it is considered" the
statement continued, that there
are 583 900 less motor vehicles on
the streets and highways today
than a year ago, it is evident that
the constant pyramiding of motor
taxes is having the effect of cur
failing the use of the automobile.
This also is evident from the fact
that gasoline tax collections in
the State of Arkansas are higher
since it was decided to register
cars on the basis of three month
periods"
The A. A. A. Club pointed out
that Maine is another State which
is applying the moratorium idea
to motor vehicles, registrations
being extended to April l, the
final date for securing 1892 tags.
Here again." it was stated,
hundreds of vehicles that other
wise have been kept in the garage
because their owners did not wish
to pay registration fees have been
travelling the highways. Gasoline
tax collections increased S32,370
in January alone"

gree which could not be increased
even by forced merging OF the two.
fundamentally, of course" the
Navy summary Of the situation con-
tinues, there Is a common medium
IN which we operate-the air. But un-
fortunately, simple flying constitutes
but a small part of military aviation
and thus develop the major differences
between aviation associated with the
Army and the Navy"
There is, the Navy declares, only
relatively limited" opportunity for CO.
operation between the two flying serv-
ices. 1t is pointed out that, although
the airplane is the basic element of
air forces, 1t Is necessary that there
be a wide variety of types. many of
which are not interchangeable between
the services
We have" it was stated, "limita-
tions which distinctly identify those
machines which can be employed for
naval service. limitations which do not
apply to aircraft of the land forces
Most naval aircraft, for example. are
required to operate af1oat, either from
the decks of carriers or catapults on
other combatant ships This necessi-

Furthermore, the structure of the
machines must be developed with
view to reducing to a minimum the eff
fects of corrosion induced by exposure

limitations may not seem marked, but
actually they mean that naval planes
are distinctly different from those
adapted to Army usage"
Combat Services Differ.
1t also is pointed out that from the
standpoint of routine operations there
is marked difference between aircraft
operations with the Navy and those
with the Army, the one over the sea
and the other over land Problems of
training of personnel and employment
of the air forces are widely different.
Summing up briefly some of the out
standing points of differentiation be-

Copies Of the resolution were or
dered sent to the Secretary Of the
Navy. members Of the Senate and House
Naval Affairs Committees and the SEN
ate and House Appropriations Commit
tees.
1t was said that the post is following
up the resolution by sending copies of
1t to every member OF the House and
Senate. The Naval Reserve Officers
Association members individually, 1t Is
reported, are planning to use every ef-
fort possible at least to have provision
made for the annual cruises.
Aside from the fact that 1t gives an
annual check-up on the results of the
armory training. 1t was pointed out
that they serve to keep up the morale
of the various organizations. and the
members look forward to them each
year as a means Of getting a sea VOYAGE
1t is feared that with the cruises elimi-
mated that some members of the or
ganization may lose interest and thus
the Reserve would suffer.
Lieut.. Harold z. Richardson. COM
mander OF the local battalion, however
has indicated that he plans to do eyerv-
thing possible to keep up the interest
OF the enlisted personnel of the orpani-
zation during the time that they usu-
ally would be at sea on their annual
cruises by mapping out an interesting
drill program, which will be punctuated
at intervals by competitions.
The Navy Department has announced
that 1t has been decided that the pro-
posed educational centers at New York.

centers operating by June Is.
Three officers of the Regular service,
with the rank of commander, have
been ordered to the three ports to
serve as educational officers. Libraries
and reading rooms will be established.
and the officer in charge will conduct
correspondence courses in various naval
subjects. in addition to conducting lee
ture courses If classes can be estab-
hshed. These officers. 1t was said. will

d. G.. Naval Reserve

Giving its support to the recent
action OF the local chapter OF the
United States Naval Reserve Officers
Association, Victory Post, No. 4, Amer
lean Legion, Department of the Dis
trict of Columbia, has passed a reso-
luton seeking revocation OF the recent
order of the Navy Department can
ceiling the planned training cruises for
all Naval Reserve divisions this Sum-
mer
1T has come to the attention Of this
post of the American Legion" the
resolution says, that the Navy Depart
ment has ordered the 15-day training
cruises of the United States Naval Re-
serves be discontinued during the fiscal
year 1888.
Whereas we are deeply concerned
about the condition of our national
defense, as the times the world over
are far too uncertain from the stand
point OF national security to permit it
to further deteriorate; and
Whereas we have already greatly
curtailed the fighting strength of the
Regular Navy and our only hope for
quick expansion of the Navy in case
and
Whereas the Naval Reserve cannot
function without training and training
cannot be given Reservists without
cruises; and
Whereas the Navy Department for
reasons of economy has ordered that
the Naval Reserve dispense with train
ing cruises during the fiscal year 1888;
and
Whereas the Naval Reserve and its
fundamental program are fixed by law.
1t would appear that the elimination
OF the annual cruise to save approx
mately one-seventh of l per cent of
the total naval appropriations. viz,
$500,000, is matter that deserves the
utmost consideration from both houses
Of Congress:
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
order should be rescinded and that the
Navy Department urge the inclusion
Of an appropriation of approximately
$500, 900. which amount will provide for
the continuation of the Naval Reserve
in all its present activities and not
lessen the morale and patriotic feeling
existing in this organization"
