HUNDREDS HUNT FOR DYNAMITERS LARGE "RE iRDS STIMULA E PURSUIT OF FIENDS. Police Chief Says He Thinks One or All Will be Caught Soon. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 3.-Under the stimulus of proffered rewards ag gregating $100,000, hundreds of po licemen and private citizens here and in all coast cities are searching for clews that may lead-to the arrest of the conspirators responsible for the blowing up of The Times building last Saturday and the attempted de struction of the homes of Gen. Harri son Gray Otis and F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the Merchants' and Manu facturers' associatior. Police and civil authorities believe that at least three men were concern ed in the outrage which cost the lives of more than a score of Times' em ployes and the city has placed a price of $10,000 upon the head of each. The county voted an additional reward of $5,000 for every man captured and convicted, and on top of all members of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association decided to offer a reward of $50,000. Rewards Aggregate $100,000. Twenty-five thousand of this amount already has been sub.cilbed. The rest it is predicted will be contributed tomorrow. Upon the assumption that at least three men were responsible for the explosion the combined offers of reward thus far approximate $100, 000. The entire ciy has been thoroughly aroused. One inewspaper that has been friendly to union labor printed a first page editorial today demand ing that in view of the strictures di rected at the unions in connection with the explosion, the strikes now on be called off. The State Federation of Labor. which met in convention here, prob ably will take action tomorrow look ing toward the appointment of inves tigators who will work ; anection with the committee named by the of ficials. Expects Arrests. Chief of Police Galloway said to day he expected to have one or all of the conspirators in custody within a few hours and later, he stated, ex pects news from San Francisco, whence come the most promising clews so far developed. William J. Burns, former head of the detective force engaged in the graft cases in San Francisco, is at work tonight in that city with Los Angeles detectives who were sent north upon receipt of notification that the dynamite believed to have been the same as that fdund in the bomb at the Zeehandelaar home had been purchased near San Francisco by men named Leonard, Bryson and Morris. Burns and the other detectives, with Earl Rogers, attorney, and a powder expert, left for San Francisco last night after reports concerning Leon ard, Bryson and Morris were received. Guading Against Trouble. Forty additional patrolmen were ordered enrolled here by the council which met in special session today. Ten additional sergeants and another lieutenant will also be authorized. These men are now being enrolled aetd placed on guard about places whtere the strike troubles, recently were. Two union foundries, the Craig ship yard at Lon Beach, the Alexan dria hotel annex, now in course of construction, and several large steel buildings are heavily guarded. Gen. Otis, editor of The Times, is protected by a body guard, both in and out of his office. The branch of fice that houses the editorial and busi ness departments of The Times, with the auxiliary plant where the paper is printed, is heavily guarded. One Funeral. Gen. Otis and Harry Chandler, as sistant general manager of The Times, are making arrangements for holding one funeral service for the victims of the disaster, while a committee ap pointed today, consisting of the edi tors and manager-s of all the papers in the city, is gathering a fund to reli.eve the families of the victims. The funeral of Churchill Harvey Elder, night editor of the Times, who died of his injurie's a few hours aft?r the explosion and fire, will be held tomorrow. Gen. Otis plans to have the remains of the dead, whom it has been found impossible to identify, in terred in his private plot at Holly wood. "If the families of the men don't object we will have them interred in one grav?," said Ge-n. Otis. "and( we( will raise a monmmnt. to their mem ory, which .ill bearh n::ncs of all." HonX's Perpetrated. ThP e.xplosiOn d the sUUsognn finding~ Of hom)s at he home~s of4 Gn. Otis and Mr. Zeehandelaar' has re that alarmad one entire neighborhood! and that caused a panic at the Llew ellyn iron works in the north end of the city. A boy found a box conta*n ing clock work and a cylinder which looked like a battery at the home of Mrs. Parkman on Grand avenue. When the police arrived in answer to a call,. they found several women in the Parkman home in a hysterical con:li tion. Shortly afterwards a workman in the Llewellyn warehouse heard a buzzing sound and upon investiga tion found a square oil can, one side Gf which had been cut to admit two dry batteries and a clock woriC mechanism. He warned his fohow workmen and every one flel the building. They did not return to wvork until the police arrived and tock the supposed infernal machine away. Offers Sympathy and Aid. Dallas, Tex., Oct. 3.-The Dallas Press club today directed its secretary to send a message of consolation to the members of the craft who suf tered in the Los Angeles Times dis aster and to offer substantial aid if desired. Clue to Authors of Times Wreek. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 4.-Search for the dynamiters who destroyed The Times building last Saturday em brace all the country between San Francisco and San Diego, from the ocean to the daserts of. the San Jaquin. A report was received by detec tives today that the launch Peerless, on which the conspirators are sup posed to have shipped the dynamite from Giant, Cal., had been found abandoned in the marshes near Al vise. The police here believe that the launch brought the explosive to some' point on the coast near San Pedro while some of the conspirators came south in a motor car. Funerals of Victims. The funerals of Churchill Harvey Elder, night editor of The Times, and J. Wesley Reaves, the young stenog rapher, who met death at his post, were held today. ' ,An incident of the day was the ar rest of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, pro prietor of The Times, on the charge of having criminally libeled Andrew' Gallagher, a San Francisco labor leader, in the columns of The Times. He was taken into custody while pre paring to attend the funeral of Wes ley Reaves, the young stenographer, to whom he dictated the article on which the libel was based. The ar resting officer accompanied Gen. Otis to the funeral and then to a justice's court where bail was arranged. Hearing Today. The case will come up tomorrow on a preliminaty hearing. The committee appointed by the State labor federation called on May or Alexander late today and asked permission to join the city's commit tee in the investigation of the explo slon. The mayor refused the request. Six bodies were recovered from the ruins today, bringing the total up to 13 taken from the ruins. Eight are believed to be still buried in the ruins. Finding of Launch. Oakland, Cai., Oct. 4.--Answering the description of the launch Peer less, which is supposed to have car ried the dynamite to blow up the Los Angeles Times building from Giant, the launch Pastime was discovered in Oakland harbor this morning. The police believe that the capture of the men who hired the Pastime on Fri day, September 20, will mean the ar rest of those responsible for the ex plosion in the Southern California city. On September 20 two men giving the names of Bryce and Perry rented the launch, Pastime, from Douglas R. Burroughs of Oakland. They paid a $500 deposit and gave a liberal rental when they returned the boat on Sep tember 26. Bryce and his companion answer the description given the po lice of Bryson and Morris, who pur chased the explosive at Giant, Cal. The boat showed the effects of hard usage. On the bow were the marks of tacks as if a sign of metal letters had been tacked over the name Pas time. This leads to the belief that the name Peerless was used to disguise the boat.
