POLICE DELVING into
THE EXPLOSIVE MYSTERY
Ryan and O'Dea Are Said to
Have Picked Up Clew
at San Mateo
SEYMOUR IS ACTIVE
Wells-Fargo Determined to
Catch Men Who Shipped
Nitroglycerin
SEYMOUR rs ACTIVE

Efforts by the city's police and the
detective department of the Wells
Fargo express company to unravel the
mystery shrouding the delivery OF
nitroglyercin to members of the strik-
ing carmen's union in this city were
redoubled yesterday, the scene of the
investigation being shifted for time
to San Mateo, from which place the
package addressed TO the Glynn
brothers was sent.
Detectives o'Dea and Ryan spent
most of the day in San Mateo, en-
deavoring to discover the identity of
the mysterious H. Reid and his COM
panion, who placed the dangerous
package in the express office there
Monday. Officials of the United Rail-
roads declared last night that some
definite information was secured, which
1t was believed, would lead to arrests
within the next two or three days, and
that il was positively known that the
explosive was shipped from San Mateo
by San Francisco men, who probably
went there for that particular purpose
One theory on which the detectives
have been working is that the nitro
glycerin may have been stolen from
some quarry in the vicinity of San
Mateo, but as yet no evidence has been
secured to sustain this suspicion.
While the detectives have been busy
the Garments union has also taken a
hand in the matter, and it was learned
yesterday that President Cornelius OF
the union visited San Mateo Wednes-
day and spent a part of the day at
tempting TO gain further knowledge OF
the facts concerning the shipping OF
the package.
Captain John F. Seymour of the
Wells-Fargo detective department said
last night that the most exhaustive ef-
forts were being made by the company
to run down the men guilty of per-
petrating the outrage and that the
work would not cease until they hao
been apprehended, no matter how long
il might take. Seymour discredited the
account given by John Mcdonald OF
1904 Grove street concerning the sec
ond package of explosives, which, i
was alleged, agents of the Fargo
company tried to deliver to Mcdonald.
