Chicago, 111., June 10. —Not since the
days when “Appetite Bill’’ Langdon
from his saloon in “gamblers’ alley’’
ran Chicago’s lower world has the city
been stirred as now, following the thir
ty-first bomb outrage in the present
1 war among big gamblers near the place
| where Langdon’s old palace of ehance
' used to stand.
When twenty pounds of dynamite ex-
I ploded in Calhoun place the other night
I shattering $150,000 worth of property
and causing fatal injuries to several j
I persons, among them women, the vig
| ilance spirit of Chicago was kindled'
once more. Council has offered a]
reward of $3OOO to “any citizen’’ who!
! will drag the bomb throwers from their
I hiding places.
1 Calhoun street, as it now is called,'
runs east and west between Dearborn
and Clark streets, half a block north
of Madison street.
The district where “Appetite Bill,”
Jerry Dunn, John Condon and other ’
sporting kinds once gathered now is '
marked by rows of big skyscrapers.
In former times noted sporting men ]
from all parts of the earth, forerunners]
। of the present cliques waging war to
I the death, gathered there.
| The cannon like alley, hemmed in by
big buildings, resounded with a roar
I when the last bomb was exploded. The j
I blast rocked the skyscrapers, put every I
j down-town telephone out of service and
I shivered the walls of several struc-'
tures.
Miss Zells Cal), an actress, was in
jured a block away.
Chief of Police George M. Shippey
head of a force that through three years
has failed to solve the mystery of the
gamblers’ war, is temporarily relieved
from duty as an indirect result of
police inability to get the guilty.
Business men, fearful for the city's
name, talk of vigilance committees.
Each section of Chicago has had its
gambling kingavho made war on all his
rivals. On tm- south side Big Jim
O’Leary won and lost fortunes in his
clearing house of chance at 4157 Hal
stead street.
On the west side former Aiderman
John Rogers, from Madison and May
streets, held sway. Down town at 2«0
State street, in the Empire clnb build
ing. Charles O. Smith, Fred T.. (Bud)
White, Harry Hoffman. B. R. Hyman
and Harrv Perry held forth. The saloon
of Aiderman Michael Kenna (Kinky
Dink) was only a block or two aWlfy.
The day after the bomb throwing.
Perry, once king of the gamblers, his
mind now wrecked, was brought into
court to have a guardian named for his
immense estate.
On the north side Mont Tennes tried
to oppose the united forces of the other
gamblers and then bombs began to
boom and property of various gamblers
was damaged in al! sections of Chicago.
Three years ago the second floor of
O’Leary's place in South Halstead
street, opposite the stock yards, was
blown up.
“Gas,” the police said.
“Gamblers.” answered the people.

said he’d “squeal”—that is, reveal the
whole business to the’ authorities —if |
he wasn’t given a chance to get the;
people’s money.
Tennes’ north side place was dyna
mited. Later one of his saloons on Clark 1
street was damaged.
In the last bomb throwing Tennes’
Dearborn street saloon., a few feet from I
the bomb, was smashed. Only fear of
capture, the police think, kept the bomb
thrower from placing the dynamite at
Tennes’ door.
On June 1 a magnificent Memorial j
day parade passed down Michigan [
avenue. At its head rode Gen. Fred
erick Dent Grant and Governor Deneen. j
One stood for public safety in time of!
war, the other for public safety in '
time of peace.
Through a drizzling rain that started
as the last marchers passed- the Con-1

bomb thrower, in earshot of the martial
music and patriotic orators..
He climbed to the top floor of a
building on Wabash avenue, a block J
away. Three hours later there was a '
crash that lifted theater crowds off
their feet. It rained glass in the street
and the building was wrecked. Fire- j
i men, police and detectives with dark I
1 lanterns rushed to the place.
Amid the smoke on the top floor where
they risked their lives to climb they
I found the shattered bomb. It was ly-1

Fads and Fashions
Special Dispatch.
New York, July 10. —Each season the
Paris women of fashion invent or adopt
some characteristic feature in their
costumes, sometimes only a peculiar
note in the ornamentation of the gown
or the blouse, or some striking note of
color. This year the Parisian women
seem to have dyed every bit of sheer
linen they could lay hands on, and to
have dipped all of their laces, mulls
and evelet embroideries, with the re
sult that the blouse as the Parisian
woman wears it is a colored garment
matching its own especial skirt and
coat. Notwithstanding all of the prom
ises made for the return of this gar
ment and the joyful reception in Amer
ica of the white blouse for the tailored
suit, Paris dips her own in dye pots to
bring her costume into the semblance
of a one-piece froek. She even colors
her buttons of linen and lace with dye.
ThAt the colored linens are taking
the lead this season instead of the
white, cannot be denied. The reason is
not hard to find, for the colors that
arc now modish are extremely beautiful
end are brought out to the best advau
‘age in heavy linens. In addition to
that there is an unusually wide range
of weaves among the flax textiles this
year.
Some of these linens imitate pongee
to perfection, though without the gloss
they might be mistaken for hand wov
en linen, which in the machine work
of the day is not far from equal to the
old time hand loom materials. The ma
chine woven materials in silks and lin
ens. with uneven threads, which re
mind one of hand loom stuffs, have
lost, to a great extent, the crude ap
pearance which they used to have in
former years.
The new linens, imitating pongee,
come in a complete range of the sea
son’s fashionable colors and are emi
nently suited for tailor mades. Many
such suits are being made with plaits
in the skirts, some are pleated all
around, but more have pleats let into
the front and sides, and the front
pleats are repeated in the bodice to en
hance the length of line.
A good many short coats are mak
ing their appearance this season, but
the majority are still quite long and
cut at all angles. In linen tailor mades
the ones with shawl points at sides
and back, drooping well below the hips
are among the most graceful shapes.
There is a very stunning new style for
linen suits of the simple class which
is cropping out now and then, and
which on a girlish figure is charming.
It is the baby frock with wide pleats
at the back in a sort of indistinct out
line, and loose enough not to define,
the waist line. The pleats at the back
are frequently stitched all the way
down, while the sides, with let-in
pleats, arc left loose and flowing. Di
rebtoire revers are often used to fin
ish the sides of the front, which is
sure to be of lace, or open embroidery
with lace.
The bathing season has now fully be
gun and some exceedingly charming
Enthing costumes have been displayed
at the fashionable beaches.' The bath
ing dress cut on a combination of prin
cess and empire lines seems again to
be the favorite this season. The influ
ence of the Moyen Age has not yet
made itself felt on the beach. The ।
long straight lines from high waistline
to the abbreviated hem are the correct I
thing, with plenty of flat plaits intro ;
duced to give the necessary fullness.
Tn materials there is a wide range
from which to choose. For those who
can afford to be extravagant, satin,
rich black, of the “stand alone” qual
ity, is the ideal material. But it must
be satin of the heaviest and most ex- I
pensive kind, for thin satin cling un- 1
comfortably when wet and do not give
satisfactory wear for the money ex-j
pended. 1
Good black aatin does not cling in I
the water and shakes itself free ap
parently, of all moisture the minute!
its wearer emerges from the sea. Salt
water does not seem to j t an d 1
although expensive at the outset it is j
really an excelleent investment for it
will look well for several seasons.
Taffeta silks, if of good quality and '
carefully chosen also make satisfactory ‘
bathing dresses. But they, also . mu ,'t
be of fairly expensive weave, for eheap I
silks will crack and crinkle after one I
or two wettings. There are, howevor I
several new silks designed express]*
for bathing on the market, this year.
They come in wide widths which cut
to advantage and are claimed to give
satisfactory wear.
Perhaps of all the stuffs from which
bathing dresses may be made nothing
is more to be recommended than fine
mohair. And here is where the girl
who must be economical, may find sat
isfaction at a moderate cost. The bath
ing dress of mohair, carefully cut and
made at home, brightened with a few
discreet touches of gaily colored silk,
can quite outshine the ready made silk
or satin suit, which may have cost
three times as much. Plaid silks used
in combination with solid colors have
a tremendous vogue among smart bath
ers this season.
Many women prefer the shirt waist
effect in their bath dresses, high stand
up collar, tailored waist and gored or
pleated skirt, joined by a belt. The
sleeves are frequently long, with band
cuffs and white embroidered turnover
collars and cuffs are worn. This ap
peals to the woman who has some con
sideration for her complexion and is
distinctly conservative and nice look
ing.
It is still an undecided question
whether the princess dress cut in one,
worn with woven woolen tights, or the
bathing dress cut with bloomers and
waist in one and skirt buttoned on, is
the wiser choice.
A most economical notion is that of
having two or three separate flounces
for the same petticoat top. Every one
who packs a suit case for a short visit
knows how bothersome it is to have
to take petticoats in various lengths
for various frocks. The summer girl
now packs one petticoat top made of
lawn and carefully fitted over the hips
and three flounces; a rather short one,
rather plain, for the linen morning
froek. a pretty embroidered one for the
afternoon costume and a long, lacey
one for the evening dress. The top has
a beading along the lower edge and
eaeh flounce is provided with a simi
lar beading. It takes but a moment to
run the bendings together with a rib
bon, and one’s petticoat is ready to
wear.
In the Paris shops now one may pur
chase separate stocking feet of white
lisle thread or cotton and these stock
ing feet arc intended to be worn in
side the silk stockings to prevent the
warmth and moisture of the foot from
helping to wear holes in the delicate
silk hose. The white stocking foot fits
snugly and daintily and is not high
enough to show at the edge of the tie
or slipper.
Some of the most attractive of the
summer hats are of soft leghorn lined

JAIL GUARDS ASK
FOR MORE PAY
- /
More pay, is the demand that the
guards at the Bexar county jail
put up to the county commissioners at
one of their meetings in the near fu
ture.
By a law passed at the last legisla
ture commissioners’ courts in counties
possessing cities of 50,000 population
or over are permitted to raise the salar
ies of jail guards from $1.50 to $2.50
per day.
A petition asking that this boon
be granted has been prepared by the
local jail guards and will .be presented
to the commissioners’ shortly. It is
argued that the guards work long hours,
without vacations and with none too
good accommodations.
The petition is signed by the four
guards at the jail, who are: Modesto
