cover the cause of the explosion of
former Supervisor James ]. Gallagher s
houses in Oakland no information of
Importance was obtained today.
1t Is said to have been demonstrated
that dynamite was the explosive used,
and the discovery Of blood stains in the
rear of the house which collapsed in
dicates that the author of the outrage
may have been injured.
Former Supervisor Gallagher visited
the scene of the wreck today and made
an inspection OF the premises. He esti-
mates the damage at $4,000, which he
says will~fall on him and his partner,
George McCrea. The houses were In
sured against fire but not against
dynamite.

GREEK ISLANDERS IN
BLOODY REVOLUTION
INHABITANTS OF SAM0S RISE
AGAINST PRINCE
Fighting Now Going On in Capital,
and Numerous Persons Killed.
Ruler Beaten and FIees
fer Life
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 2S.-The
inhabitants of the island of SANDS, a
Greek island off the west coast of Asia
Minor, are in revolt against the prince
of Samos and the governor of the is
land.
Fighting has been going on at Vathy,
the capital, for the past three days,
and there are numerous victims of the
encounters.
The trouble appears to have arisen in
a conflict between the governor, Kopas-
siz Effendi, and the senate.
The prince of Samos was seized by
the malcontents and beaten. He made
his escape.
Reinforcements of troops sent from
Smyrna were driven back by fusillade
from the shore, the revolving islanders
being aided by the gendarmerie.
1t appears that the telegraph office
has been seized by the rebels, but dis
patch from Smyrna dated today de-
clares the attack on the palace con-
tinues and that there have been many
casualties.
Since 1882 the island of Samos has
been an autonomous principality, pay
ing annual tribute to Turkey

URGES UNIFORM GRADING
IN BIG COTTON EXCHANGES

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner of corpora
tions, today made public the second
and third parts Of his report on the ope-
ration of the cotton exchanges OF the
United States, dealing with the classih-
cation of cotton and the Ange of grades
desirable on contracts.
The commissioner treats of conditions
on the New York and New Orleans ex-
changes, the only two markets in this
country doing a future business.
He had found the methods of the two
are radically different, and that criti-
cisms of both have been made. He
finds that in New York there is over
grading and over-classification in cot
ton, while in New Orleans there ap-
pears to be under-grading.
The commissioner urges the adoption
of a system of unifol | grades, if pos
sible, thus simplifying both and putting
an end to serious abuses.

BANK OF ENGLAND REDUCES
DISCOUNT RATE ONCE MORE

LONDON. May 2S.-As anticipated,
the rate of discount of the Bank of
England was reduced today from to
az per cent. The authorities have been
retaining the rate at per cent owing
to the absorption of gold by France
and Germany, but the local monetary
position had become so easy with
funds at IL per cent and discounts at
IL per cent below the bank rate that
the authorities had little choice other
than to give the trade of the country
the benefit of the lower rate as well as
bring the minimum rate nearer the
market discount level. The reduction
in the discount rate was largely dis
counted on the stock exchange yester-
day when consols rose SIS points, but
they advanced another Il this morn
ing and the markets generally were
harder with a cheerful tendency.

A record of eight years continuous
service as a member of the board of
supervisors has established for Mr.. @.
e. Patterson the reputation of being
one of the most thorough and compe-
tent public officials ever in the service
of Los Angeles county.
Perhaps no other public position will
test the ability of a man more so than
that of supervisor, entailing as it does
the administration of the most impor
tant affairs Of the people.
1t may be truly said of Mr. Patterson
that he has executed his official duties
with such rare ability and good judg-
ment, with such justice and progressive
spirit, that the people are eager to rec
