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.
