The Pageant Story
Day by Day
Hudson's Bay Company and
Dr. McLoughlin.
The fur trade in the United States
and Canada Is as old as the Amer
ican colonies. From Plymouth, it
ever spread westward, keeping in
advance of actual settlements, At
tho time of the Lewis and Clark
expedition, the Hudson's Hay com
pany, with forts near Hudson's Day
und the Northwest company of Mon
treal, controlled tho tur trade. John
Jacob Astor, tho merchant prince of
New York, conceived a plan for a
great fur trade from the Oregon
country.
Through his efforts a 1 1 ailing , sta
tion to buy furs from tho Indians
was founded near tho mouth of the
Columbia river. This tat Ion was ap
propriately named Astoria. In IS 12
the fear of a British man-of-war led
to the abandoning and sale of tle!"ot ll1ss towv Inches, no more

In '1824 Dr. John McLoughlin ar
rived to take charge of tho western
department, Ills first step was to
abandon the post at Astoria jmd es

RELATES STORY OF
CHICAGO
BOMB
G
By James L. Kilgallen
(United News Staff Correspondent)
CHICAGO, May 23 Chicago's
reicn of violence marked by mys
terious bombings, murders and slug
glngs is expected to be brought to
an abrupt end as the result of an
amazing confession by the "master
' bomber" himself.
This man is Andrew Ken-.
Kerr, a well put up, swarthy look
ing chap of about 28, described in
detail acts of violence in which he
himself figured as head of an or
ganized clique of expert bombers.
Eight men were arrested follow
ing Kerr's confession.
Others, including Cornelius P.
("Con") O'Shea, notorious labor lead
er, and one convicted of murder in
New York, are being hunted by raid
ing squads and uniformed police.
Kerr and his alleged co-workers
were taken to the state's attorney's
office late Friday and questioned.
Then Kerr was sent before the
state grand jury to re-tell the story
he had already told to Chief of Po
lice Charles C. Fitzmaurice.
One of the astounding revelations
Kerr made to the grand jury was
that "the bombing trust" had a rate
schedule substantially as follows:
Ordinary slugglngs (two men),
. each 25
Bombings: Where two sticks of
dynamite are used, $200; where four
sticks of dynamite are used, $250;
where six sticks of dynamite are
used, $300.
Kerr told his story quite calmly.
He related the details of a score
of bombing operations growing out
of labor, race and political trouble.
He is a member of the international
union of steam and operating engi
neers, which recently waged a strike
against laundry owners.
He named James Sweeney aa the
generalissimo of the bombing force
and the mun whom the authorities
Vshould' make squawk, as he knows
all that's gone on."
In telling how the bombs were
se Kerr said :
- , , , , , .
"TheTe are always three in the
car. The driver always sits at the
....... ,
wheel with the engine running. They
..... . ... m,.
whittle the fuse in the car. They
, . , , . . ,
w g -1 e
to get it in the morning papers.
, . .. , .
They always light the fuses in the
. , ,
car. Then they place it and get
away."
The bombsters got their orders
from Albert Peterson, business
agent of Local 402 of the Engineers'
union, Kerr said.
"" A
,Hre' according to Kerr, w,
ot Petersons orders:
is one
"Mr. Parkie, the owner of Scrlv
ener's laundry, is one tho executive
committee of the laundry owners'
association. He is tho one who is
standing in the way of an agree
ment or doing business with the
laundry men's association. Cone
quently, he is not going to get one
stick or two sticks; he is going to
get four sticks. And if four don't
move him, ho will get six and one
in the house where ho lives, on the
back steps, and if it don't kill tho
wife and children it will make them
gt't down on their knees to him and
say: 'papa, wo don't want to get
killed!'"
Peterson is in custody. The others
being hold, including Kerr and
Sweeney, are Harry Bartlett, known
to dynamiters as "Soup," under
world parlance for nitroglycerine ,
Thomas J. Corcoran, a business
agent; Sam Gibson, an I, W. W.;
Joseph Bangors, alleged slugger;
Charles Borlgan and Charles Bush,
suspects. .
The notorious "Con" O'Shea,
named by Kerr, Is being hunt
ed. O'Shea has been a leading figure
in several court trials, notably tho
trial that followed tho stabbing of
Alice Walsh in a New York rooming
house. Tho woman was stabbed 24
times and died, naming O'Shea as
her slayer. Ho was convicted of
second degree murder and serveu
six years In Sing Sing.
Kerr's confession, tho police say,
may lead In tho solving of several
of tho murders in Chicago's "bloody
nittfeenth" ward and unquestionably
will result in indictments.

TRY OUT BOMBS ON
T
By United News
WASHINGTON, May 23. With
former German ships as their tar
gets, both the army and navy are
ready now to demonstrate whether
future wars will bo decided by air
craft Officials of the Atlantic fleet, the
navy department and the army air
service have met and fixed the final
terms for the bombing experiments
off the Virginia capes.
The first round in the airplanes'
test against surface craft will be
fought June 21, when air craft will
attack a former German submarine,
the U-117.
On Juno 28, the battle ship Iowa,
controlled by radio, will be the
target. The peak on the Iowa will
first be a problem of "search and
location," to be followed by tests
on the accuracy of bombing.
Both army and navy fliers will
participate in the bombing experi
ments, but the army has withdrawn
its land planes from the proposed
attack on the Iowa and will use
only seaplanes and blimps. Former
German destroyers will be used on
July 13, to test the bomb dropping
markmanship of the airmen. On
July 18 the German cruiser Frank
furt will be the object of battle, to
be followed two days later by the
old enemy battleship Ostfriesland.
The air fighters will use bombs
ranging from 200 to 2000 pounds.
The army urged the tests be con
ducted within thirty miles of tbe
shore, but the navy declared this
was impracticable and the distance
was extended to sixty miles. Land
planes were abandoned, it is under
stood, because of the danger in
volved If a ' filer dropped in the
water. Rescue ships will be sta
tioned near the bombing zone, how
ever. As the hour approaches for the
attack on the Iowa, the battleship
will be from 50 to 100 miles off the
coast, steaming toward shore in an
effort to reach the coast before she;
is located. Navy air boats and
army dirgibles will form a scouting
line off the coast, searching until
contact is established with the Iowa
and the, signalling for the hall oi
bombs.
