Explosion in Italian area alarms Chicago on June 1
An early morning mite bomb exploded in an Italian tenement alley on the south side, wrecking nearby shop rooms and apartments, wounding 13 and sending them to hospitals. Police link the blast to an Italian gamblers feud that has terrorized the area for months and followed a deadly knife fight in March. Also in Chicago on June 1 prices rise and fall with butter up two to three cents, cabbage and rhubarb down, and strawberries slipping. Judge Stelk says he will jail parents rather than children to curb juvenile misbehavior. The elder Dumas produced volumes at a historic rate in one year.
