LONDON, Oct. 19.-The prosecution

Of Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard,
who pursued the doctor and his COM

a repetition of the now familiar story
which he had recited previously in the

While Alfred Aspinall Tobin, chief

Dew with the object of showing that
the defendant exhibited no trace of
anxiety or nervousness during the po-

The authorities are shrouding the
new developments in the case here
with the utmost secrecy. 1t is thought
that the principals in the man hunt
who have been following clews in
San Francisco, will arrive IN Los An

1t is possible that Smith is some

In San Francisco yesterday the eff
forts of the police were concentrated
on search for a man known as d.
Caplan, an alleged anarchist, believed
to be the dark7skinned "Willlam
Capp' who played prominent part
in concealing the 500 pounds of dyna-

Caplan is said to be known to the
police in various cities of this country

confessed anarchist, according to the
police. and from whom the investi-
gators learned that Caplan disap-
peared from the fiat about october
and has not been seen since.
With the assurance that the evidence
in the possession of the detectives
tending to connect Mrs. LAWN with
the Times explosion was of a most
substantial nature and that otherwise
the charge placed against her would
not have been murder, Attorney Earl
Rogers, who has been in charge of the
local end of the investigation, left San

Rogers said that the evidence now at
hand was so strong that he would seek
to secure the impanelment of special
grand jury on his arrival here and had
no doubt indictments would follow.
There weraeno developments in San
Francisco yesterday. although the in

the deposition of Mrs. II. d. Ingersoll,

IDENTIFICATION TANGLE
IN DYNAMITING CASE

CHICO, Cal. Oct. ia peculiar
tangle of identiflcations came to light
today in connection with the investiga-
ton into the Los Angeles Times trag-
edy. "F. z. Perry" who has been
hunted far and near as one of the sus-
poets in the case, because of the fact
that a man of that name appeared in
the negotiations leading to the pur-
chase of the dynamite which supposed
ly was used in Los Angeles, made him
self KNOWN as a business man and
law abiding citizen of this place.
F. e. Perry in this city volunteered
the statement that he was in the Ar
gonaut hotel in San Francisco at the
time that the police state and that he
remained in his room for two or three
days because of illness. This was in
Sept amber, shortly before the pur-
chase of the dynamite. Perry says that
he wants the police to know where he
is so that if there Is any question as
to his being connected with the case
he can straighten the matter up to the
satisfaction of everyone.
1t developed last night through the
statement of John dollhouse, a cab
met maker Of San Francisco, that the
"F. E. Perry wanted was in reality
a man Of the name of M. e. Smith,
formerly of Kansas City. Both men
evidently were in the hotel at the
same time, or else Mr.. Perry of this
city has demolished another clew.

SWISS FORESTER OFFERS
FIRE FIGHTING METHODS
Official Offers Sympathy to U. S.
on ConfIagrations

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-In a re-
cent communication to Consul Muir
ply at St. Gall, Switzerland, the dis
trict forester of the canton of st. Gall
conveyed a message of sympathy on
account of the forest fires in the Unit
ed States, and made suggestions upon
the subject of forest fires.
In forwarding the recommendation
to this government, Consul Murphy
said:
THE suggestion which, although
elemental in some cases, comes from
a man who has spent his life in the
Swiss forests, are worthy of profound
consideration"
Among the Swiss forester's cautions
are these:
mo dead timber or brush should be
permitted to accumulate, but should
be gathered and burned during wet
weather.
Extensive forest area should have
cut through them at regular inter-
walls open bitches filled with water.
Railroads running through forests
should be forced to equip their en-
gines with efficient spark arresters.
mo grass or bushes should be per-
mitted along the line of any forest
railroad, and forest wardens should
be employed, thoroughly organized
and instructed and kept on constant
duty in the forests"
The actual forest area of SwitZer-
land is 2,205,508 acres, or over one
fifth the entire surface of the country,
and one of the laws is that "the for
est area of Switzerland shall not be
diminished"

SEATTLE, Oct. 19.-James Wicker
sham, delegate to congress from Alas
ka. arrived in Seattle yesterday on his
way to washington, and declared he
would urge the passage of legislation
for the development of the northern
territory.
The legislative policy to be urged by
Delegate Wickersham contains the fol-
lowing:
"Opening the resources of Alaska
that shall be enabled to make the laws
governing domestic affairs.
P"Opening the resources of Alaska
so that the individual and not the cor
poration shall benefit"
He asserted his belief that the IN
terstate commerce commission erred in
not assuming jurisdiction over Alaskan
transportation companies.
operators on the American side of
the line," he said, "are Disseminated
against. They are at the mercy of
the transportation companies since the
commission refused to assume juris-
diction."
AS representing the commercial
worth of Alaska, Mr.. Wickersham pre-
sented figures showing that more than
$52, 900 worth of imports were re-
ceived in Alaska, which amounted to
more than $1,000 for every white man,
woman and child in Alaska.

POLICE SECURE DYNAMITE
IN KEEPING OF WAREHOUSE
Explosive of Variety Found in
Hall of Records

A small wooden box containing ten
sticks of No. dynamite of 65 per
cent strength was delivered to the po-
lice yesterday by the employees Of the
Finney, Eswin and Priest Warehouse
company, 7S4 Hemlock street, who
stated that the explosive was stored
there a short time ago. The detectives
say the dynamite is the same brand
as that found in the hall of records
building more than a month ago.
An investigation by the police re-
yealed the fact that the box, which
formerly contained cream OF tartar
and bore the name f a Needles, Cal,
firm, was left in pool room near
Sixth street and Central avenue Sep
tember 1, by a man who stated he
would ell for it within a few days
The proprietor of this place stored
the box in a rear room and forgot
about the incident. About a week
later the pool room was transferred
to other partners who found the box
when they took possession of the place.
Curiosity impelled them to open the
box, and when they found that it con-
tanned dynamite they passed 1t on to
another pool room for safe keeping.
In turn the box was passed from
place to place, being handled, it is
supposed, by different persons, until
finally it was called for by a person
supposed to be the original owner of
the stuff. who took it to the warehouse
on Hemlock street and asked that 1t
be stored for a few days until called
for.
When the owner of the explosive
failed to appear and pay storage the
employees opened the box, found that it
contained dynamite and then turned
ito yer to the police for investigation.
The detectives are anxious to learn
the identity of the man who took the
box to the pool room near Sixth and
Central avenue. While they believe
he is the same person who stored the
stuff at the Hemlock street warehouse,
they are convinced that more than one
man is connected with the matter and
probably know something about the
attempt to dynamite the hall of rec
ords building the night of September

CACHE DYNAMITE
At PORTLAND HOME
Workman Discovers Six Sticks
Hidden Near Residence of
Charles K. Henry
ASSOCIATED Press)

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 19.--What is
believed to have been plot to dyna-
mite the home of Charles K. Henry,
a prominent capitalist and real estate
operator of this city, became known
today. The plant" consisted of six
sticks of dynamite wrapped with about
thirty feet of fuse. It was discovered
yesterday by workman on Mr..
Henry's premises, hidden in a tree
about 200 feet distant from the Henry
residence. For some reason the work.
man failed to make known his discov-
cry to Mr.. Henry until today.
After an investigation by a detec-
tive, the opinion was expressed that
the explosive had been cached during
Monday night, and that the person
who put it there intended to return
later and blow up the Henry home.
The dynamite is in nine-inch sticks
of about sevep-eighths inch diameter,
and is wrapped in yellow paper on
which is printed "stumping powder"
The name of the company that manu-
featured the dynamite could not be
found on any of the sticks.
Mr.. Henry's home is in a large tract
of land on the east side of the Villa
mette river. The tract was recently
plated and a portion of the land is
uIluSi5OiH6 SIdoi41S OpSAdlAOhSs
MOTIVE is OBSCURE
The fact that the explosive is
''stumping powder" at first led to the
belief that it was placed in the tree
for safe keeping by one Of the grading
crews. This later proved to be un-
likely when it was ascertained that the
grading operations are more than a
mile distant from the Henry house,
and none of the worl1men has had oc-
casion to pass by or through his prem
ises.
The motive which lies behind the
supposed plot is obscure. Mr.. Henry
long has been an advocate of the
open shop" and recently built a six
story business block on the "open
shop" basis. An immense eight-story
hotel is being constructed by him at
present, but not until late yesterday
did ne come to direct issue with a
labor union over the subject. That was
several hours after the discovery of
the dynamite.
During the last few months bitter
feeling has been engendered regarding
certain public improvements. Mr..
Henry has been vigorous in his oppo-
sition to them and this has brought
down no little condemnation from the
advocates of the project.
Tonight Mr.. Henry, in an interview.
stated that he had recently received
several threatening letters. Some of
these, he said warned him to desist
from opposition to the public improve
ments, while others demanded that he
should change his attitude toward
labor unions.

But Ehrlacher le- his eyes play tru-

hands were running up and down the
clothing of other men in the crowd,
as if trying to feel out pursesb while
the man diverted attention by asking
where the chief was, why the commits

Then Ehrlacher caused the arrest of

store fronts.
