CHICAGO POSTOFFICE
IS BADLY DAMAGED
BY ENEMY'S BOMB
Suit Case Filled With Nitro-Glycerine
T' With Time Clock Attachment Set Oft in
Crowded Corridor of Building When
I. W. W. Leaders Were Convicted
Chicago, Sept. s.—Four persons
were killed and more than seventy
'ive others injured by the explosion
jf a bomb in a crowded entrance to
'.he Federal building at 3.10 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The explosion, which not only
wrecked the entrance of the build
ing, but shattered every window on
the first three floors of two buildings
across the street, was attributed to
the I. W. W. by Philip J. Barry, in
charge of the local offices of the
Department of Justice.
Woman Blown Through Window
A young woman who was passing
the offices of the British recruiting
mission opposite the Federal build
ing, was blown through the window
by the explosion. A squad of Brit
ish soldiers was sent immediately to
help the police restrain the crowds.
Helen Michike, one of the victims,
was killed at her sister's side as they
were walking past the entrance of
the building. Both were struck by
pieces of the bomb or debris blown
out by the explosion. The sister was
rendered unconscious but later was
revived and taken to her home.
Philadelphiaii Arrested
One of the first men taken into
custody in connection with the out
rage was James Connelly, of Phila
delphia. He was found on an upper
iloor of the building and was ques
tioned by government officials.
A double guard of police and dep
uty sheriffs to-night was placed
around the county jail where the
ninety-five I. W. W. prisoners are
awaiting removal to the Federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan
sas. This action followed reports,
which were denied by Sheriff John
E. Traeger, that a bomb had been
found in the jail.
Raids on two headquarters of the
I. W. W. within fiften minutes after
the explosion resulted in the arrest
of nine men. Several more were
taken into custody within the Fed
eral building and a woman whose
name was suppressed was arrested
in a nearby building. Last night
more than 1,500 government agents
and the entire city police force were
seeking the perpetrator of the out
rage.
Outrage Inevitable, Says Barry
"This outrage, in my opinion, was
inevitable as an act of reprisal on
the part of the I. W. W., following
the sentencing of nearly a hundred
of their members," Mr. Barry said,
after a hurried investigation. "Wo
are certain that the I. W. W. com
mitted this deed. I believe that the
bomb was composed of nitroglycer
ine. Several arrests have been
made, and we are questioning the
prisoners as fast as we srtn."

Beautiful New Store
Opened by Miss Sachs;
Interior Is Handsome
Last evening marked the opening
of Miss Mary Sachs' new store at
210 North Third street. The beauty
of the interior which is unique and
artistic in its arrangement and fur
nishings was enhanced by the floral
tributes received by Miss Sachs from
business houses of the city and else
where. She was also the recipient
of congratulations and good wishes
from many friends who attended the
opening event.
The color scheme of the establish
ment is a tint of cafe-aulait and
beige; lighting is all of the indirect
type, eliminating all glare. All mer
chandise will be kept in enclosed
stock rooms. Five booths are equip
ped with fitting apparatus, providing
individual attention and privacy to
each patrol.
The waist and underwear depart
ments are both enclosed, and particu
lar attention has been given to tho
arrangement and facilities of the al
teration room.
Attractive enclosed show windows
are draped with screen curtains
which, in turn, are trimmed with
natural linen fringe. While a few
finishing touches are still to be put
to the interior, due to transportation
delays, the new store is open for
business.
Cereal Food That
Contains Its Own Sugar
Grape-Nuts
is utterly unlike any other prepared cereal.
Take a handful of its golden-brown gran
ules and hold it in a strong light. You will
see little shining particles on each granule
—a'result of the Grape-Nuts process of
cookery, which turns the starch of wheat
and barley into actual sugar.
The sweet, nutty flavor of Grape-Nuts re
quires no added sugar and where fresh
milk or cream is not obtainable condensed
or evaporated milk fits in finely.
No sugar is needed, and but little cream or
milk, and this makes Grape-Nuts a very de
sirable cereal these saving days.
"There's a Reason"
* '
THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH • SEPTEMBER 5, 1918.
W. W. leaders were recently con
victed and sentenced to prison for
obstructing the government's war
program, is on the sixth floor of the
building.
William D. Haywood, general sec
retary-treasurer of the I. W. W.. one
of those sentenced to twenty years
in prison for his part in the con
spiracies, was on the eighth floor of
the building with his lawyer, who
was planning to seek a writ of error
in his behalf when the explosion oc
curred.
He deplored the outrage, and
while emphatically denying that any
of his men had committed the act,
admitted that he believed the I. W.
W. would be blamed.
The so-called "Uncrowned King"
of the I. W. W. plainly felt the
building trerqble with the detonation
of the bomb and heard the glass
crash in the dome of the structure
and the cries of the injured. He ap
peared calm and did not leave the
Deputy Marshal's office.
"It is. unfortunate that this thing
happened at this time," he said feel
ingly. "I know that the I. W. W.
will be blamed, but I am convinced
in my own heart that no man of
my organization was in any way
connected with this matter. It would
be insane for an I. W. W. to com
mit such an act at this time."
The bomb, which is believed to
have consisted of at least three wire
wrapped steel cylinders charged
with high explosive, was carried into
the Adams street entrance of the
building during one of the most busy
periods of the day. Concealed in a
suitcase and connected with a time
fuse, the device was deposited be
hind a radiator unnoticed by the
passing throng, bfearly a hundred
persons were in the corridors at the
time and at the stamp windows
writing desks and letter registry di
vision.
Fourteen men were rounded up as
suspects in an all-night search fol
lowing the explosion of a bomb yes
terday in the Federal building which
killed four persons, injured more
than thirty others and did consider
able damage.
"We believe we now are close to
the persons responsible for the out
rage." Acting Divisional Chief Phillip
J. Barry, of the department of jus
tice said to-day. "We have descrip
tions from various witnesses who saw
the man believed to have exploded
the bomb and these descriptions
tally."
Secret service officers and thi no
lice worked on the theory that tho
explosion was the act of members
or sympathizers of the I. W. W., in
revenge for the recent conviction of
ninety-three of their members be

Northwest Car Shortage
Reported to Be Serious
St. Paul Minn., Sept. 5. The grow
ing car shortage throughout the
Northwest became more serious yes
terday, according to railroad officials
here. For several days grain eleva

Northwest.
Railroad Notes

records.
Miners were nbt working on Mon
