CHICAGO TOTTERING
STATE INVOKED TO SAVE FINANCIAL COLLAPSE “BIG BILL’S” ADMISSION United P. A.—By 'Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 9.35 a.m. CHICAGO, Wed. Mr. William Thompson has admitted publicly, for the first time in a statement, that Chicago is ‘"broke” and is tottering on the brink of financial disaster. As the remedy and the only hope for relief for thousands of city employees who are without wages and who are existing on loan money, the Mayor demanded that the State Legislature should be called into special session to deal with the city’s £60,000,000 debt. Meanwhile, Chicago’s reputation for bombing continues unabated. An attempt was made to put a bomb in the car of one of the State's attorneys who has been active against gangsters. A bomb last evening blew up a building oil a fashionable Michigan avenue, and two structures in other parts of the city were also destroyed.
