OF Its employees and financial los OF

auxiliary plant of that paper and the
finding of a powerful Internal ma
chine in the residence of Secretary
Zeehandelaar of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association has
wrought the city to intense evcite-
ment. General Otis and the other
heads Of the paper charges the Times
disaster and the narrowly averted 9TH
er attempts to labor union sources.
The leaders of union labor repudiate
the accusation, and have offered all
aid in their power to dete the Gull
prits.
For twenty years, following a quar-
rel with the typographical union,
which resulted in making the Times a
non-union paper, Otis has fought
union SIN. He has been seconded By
the Merchants and Manufact rers' as
ISOLATION.
The feeling which ran high over the
Times disaster, was augmented when
the discovery was made OF the dyna-
mite bomb found under the residence
of Secretary Zeehandelar, and reach
ed state of CONSERVATION when the
attempt on Otis residence was
known. The Otis home on w ltshire
avenue, a fashionable section, is
known as the Bivouac.''
After the finding of the bomb in
the Zeehandelar residense, Detective
Rice went to the "Bivouac," to make
a search of the premises.
He found a suit case hid in the
vines under the bay window of the
house. Rice telephoned Chief Of Po-
lice Galloway and then insisted upon
opening the suit case there, and stack
a knife into the side of it, The buzz
iof the mechanism was heard on the
inside and smoke began coming out
around the edges.
Chief Galloway hurled it as far as
he could. 1t landed against the curb
stone on the opposite side Of the
street. Immediately there was a
loud explosion and the suit case was
shattered into thousand pieces. "A
hole was torn in the ground and the
curhstone was ripped up for some
distance.
The bomb was first discovered at
the zeehandeler home by a servant.
Had not some part of the mechanism
failed to work the house would have
been demolished and the inmates un-
doubtedly killed.

Ter of the Times is authority for the

made to blow up the Times auyiiiary
