Arrives in Rain Far Ahead of
 His Schedule
WILL GO ID PANAMA TODAY
Elaboratae Preparations Have Been Made for Enterta nment and Off
 cals Have Already Ar
 rested Anarchists.

Colon, November 1.-The first trip of an American President outside of the boundaries of the United States was sue cessfully eonsummated this afternoon at 80, when the battleship Louisiana, hav- ing on board President Roosevelt and his party, dropped anchor in the harbor of Colon.
 The Louisiana, which arrived ahead of schedule time was conveyed by the Tennessee and Washington, and the three vessels anchored about mile from the dock during heavy rainfall. Owing to the fact that the Louisiana arrived ahead of time. neither President Amador of Panama nor Chairman Shonts was on hand to welcome President Roosevelt. They left Panama at i:30 o'clock on n special train for Colon and at S:30 to- night boarded the Louisiana and extend- ed cordial greeting to Americas chief executive In President Amador's party besides MT. Shonts, was Chief Engineer Stevens and Executive Secretary Reed of the commission, and MT. squiers. the American minister to Panama

 During the afternoon President Roose- welt received the local newspaper cores pondents on board the Louisiana. He said his voyage had been pleasant and un- eventful and expressed himself as grati- fled at the welcome which the citizens of the isthmus are preparing for him when he lands tomorrow. He stated that he proposed to look into the Jamaica labor question and also intended to see everything possible concerning the ca nal. Extensive precautions have been taken to protect President Roosevelt dur ing his three days visit on the isthmus, and it Is reported that number of well known anarchists have been arrested here or at Panama.
 All steamers arriving at the isthmus are inspected and suspicious characters have been imprisoned and will be held in custody until President Roosevelt de- parts.

Young Man Carried to We'll
 Known Cafe in Grip
0NE MAN SERIOUSLY HURT l
Perpetrator Is Believed to Be an An archist Seeking Revenge for Re- cent Inhibition on Honor1ng
 Chicago Anarchist.

Rome November 11.-A bomb was eN- ploded ill front of the Cafe Aragno, in the center of the city. today. The fash ionable throngs at the cafe were thrown into confusion and one man was serious ly wounded. The perpetrator of the deed was not apprehended.
 At the time of the explosion the cafe was filled with fashionable people, and the corso was crowded with the regular afternoon promenaders. A double line of carriages stretched in front of the place. Immediately after the explosion a thick cloud of smoke filled the air. and there was a strong odor of chemicals. The peo- pie in and about the cafe were panic stricken and made frantic efforts 10 es- cape the, fear being that the ceilings and walls of the cafe were about to collopse.
 Saw Young Man Appear.
 Tn speaking of the occurrence, one of those present said he saw a young man about D years old come to the cafe and take seat at table outside. He car ried a handbag, which vas partially con- cealed by a light overcoat on his arm. He deposited the handbag and coat on a chair and ordered something to drink. Before the waiter served him the young man suddenly rose, an saying: 'I have forgotten something he pushed away, leaving his handbag mad oYercoat behind.
 Man Sounds the Alarm.
 his sudden disappearance caused sus- picion, and d young man who also had been sitting near sprang to his feet and cried: "Bombl Bomb!'' This warning, however. was too late to give the crowd time to get away, for the explosion came on the heels of -.is last words. The neigh borhood of the cafe was immediately oc- cuped hy police. The wounded mans name was Guido Moroni, who returned here two weeks ago from New York. He was taken to a hospital and probably will be all right in q fortnight. The perpetra- tor is supposed to be an anarchist. and the theory is advocated that he attempted to blow up the cafe out of revenge for the anarchists having been prevented from demonstrating last Sunday in commem- oration of the Chicago anarchists nine- teen years ago.

LEE C. GATES CLOSES
HIS CAMPAIGN IN AN
INTERESTING MANNER

Fifteen ten-minute speeches were
made by Lee C. Gates last night.
The non-partisan nominee for mayor
closed his campaign IN a spectacular
and most gratifying manner.
In q tallyho, drawn by six white
borses and accompanied by Treats
band and a dozen enthusiastic fol-
lowers, Mr.. Gates drove about the prin-
cipal business streets, stopping here
and there to make brief speech.
Invariably he drew a crowd which,
as rule, respectfully listened to his
remarks and literally applauded his
telling sentences, but occasionally there
would be heard q shout for Harper or
for Lindley.
Mr.. Gates was addressing a crowd of
@ hundred or more on Spring street
when a theater audience was dismissed.
Many of these, including a large num-
ber Of women, stopped to hear the
speech, and the audience soon was
swelled to several hundred and COM
pletely blocked the street.
Seemingly the large majority of his
hearers were in sympathy with the
non-partisan movement, and he was
literally applauded.
Several meetings were held by the
non-partisans in various sections of the
city. One of the most successful was
at Bethlehem mission, where Dana
Bartlett and A. c. Moody delivered ad-
dresses.

Voters league, asking him to speciflcal-

Of Mr.. Hitler to that of Mr.. Wren as
councilman in the Third ward, of Mr..

Of Mr.. Blanchard to Mr.. Collins In the
Ninth, of Mr.. Lyon to Mr.. Betkouski

Hewitt as city attorney, Of Mr.. Lewis

whom was thoroughly qualified for the
office for which he had been nomin-

to defeat with them than be elected on
the ticket Of such q mongrel organiza-

secure the non-partisan nomination for
himself for mayor, and was unanimous

GATES ATTITUDE ON
LIQUOR QUESTION
ONE OF FAIRNESS

Lee C. Gates attitude on the liquor
question has been proved to have been
one of absolute fairness.
o. L. johnson and George Mason,
who served on the police commission
have written letters, given below,
showing Mr.. Gates impartial stand.
These letters were written in reply to
the following by Robert w. Brown:
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2S-George
Mason, 52S Mason Building, City: Dear
Sir-During the past few days there
has been brought to my attention, in
conversation with friends, a grave and
hitherto unheard OF charge against the
character of Mr.. Gates, which, If
proven to be well founded, WIN con-
stitute sufficient grounds for withdraw
ing active support OF his canvass.
"It is asserted that Mr.. Gates Is in
volVed in an alliance with the LIQUOR
interests and that his tastes and ten
dencies are OF q nature to warrant the
he would give encouragement and lend
the loose ends OF society. In support
OF this serious charge, the record OF
Mr.. Gates service of the city upon the
police commission is cited by his accu-
sers.
II do not know Mr. Gates personally
and am not sufficiently familiar with
his history as a public servant to be
able to refute this imputation, which
am unwilling TO believe until verified.

NEWSB0YS ARE BRIBED
TO TURN A TRICK FOR
4. DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

Probably the boldest trick ever per-
petrated on the eve of an election was
worked last night by men interested in
the election of A. c. Harper as mayor.
The trick involved the bribery either
OF newsboys or some of the men who
distribute papers to the boys who sell
papers on the street.
Folded in copies of the Express and
News sold on the streets last night
there were surreptitiously inserted
handbillS reading as follows;
"On account of the bad split in the
Republican party, which surely insures
the defeat of both Lee G. Gates and DR..
Lindley, and the possible election of
Stanley B. Wilson, we believe it i'm
perative that all business men and
citizens OF Los Angeles get behind and
vote for Arthur c. Harper for mayor"
Friends of the non-partisan move
ment and who had bought copies of
the Express containing the poster tele-
phoned to the Express office and eX-
posed the fraud. Owing to the fact
that the stereotypers had gone home
1t was impossible for the paper to get
out an extra exposing the trick, and
the manager of the paper says that
he must depend upon the good sense of
the readers to see through the fraud.
A. c. Moody, one Of the active work.
ers in the cause Of good government,
said last night in discussing the i'm
position upon the Express:
This is one Of the most contemplate
tricks ever played in a political cam
paign, but it is right In line with what
we have had to contend with from the
very start. All kinds of dirty trickery
have been resorted to by the opponents
of the non-partisan movement, but for
tunately it has always reacted upon
the perpetrators, and that will be the
result in this instance. The general
public has had It's eyes opened to the
depths of infamy to which machine
politicians will sink in order to attain
their ends and continue n the control
OF civic affairs, where they may loot at
VIII and serve every boss except the
rightful boss-the people"
