Prisoners Suspected of Compile
ity in Dynamiting of the
Times Building
LOCAL POLICE ARE NOT TOLD
Los Angeles Officials Lack Infor-
nation and Think They
Are Wrong Men

Five men are under arrest in Aca-
pulco Mexico, suspected of completely
in the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times building the morning of Octo-
ber 1, according to Associated Press
dispatches. They We're taken from
the power schooner Kate when it put
in there yesterday so that the supply
of gasoline on the vessel could be
replenished.
The foreign office in Mexico City
confirms the reported arrests and the
men will be held for investigation.
Little interest in the arrests is shown
either here or in San Francisco. 1t
is believed that the men are en- route
for the Galapagos islands in search
| of treasure supposed to be buried
there, as was stated soon after the
Kate left San Francisco. Earl Rogers
said in San Francisco last night that
he did not believe the right men had
been captured.
According to the report from Aca-
pulco the five men landed in an open
boat and were on their way to pur-
| chase gasoline to replenish their sup
ply when they were arrested by the
Mexican officers as suspects and locked
up in the Jail at that place.
The Kate is the vessel that met the
Oakland tug Northern Light off Point
Reyes, a secluded landing place in San
Francisco bay, and received a passen-
ger, a man named Bisbee. The Kate
also is the vessel that at first was sup
posed to have received from the Pas
time 500 pounds of 80 per cent nitro
powder which was purchased at the
Giant Powder companys plant at
Giant, Cal, by two men giving the

and sailed away.
CREW is CHANGED
The boat formerly was used to trans
| port cargoes of turtles from the Gall
| lapagos islands, a group off the Ecua-
dorean coast. The crew was changed
several days before the departure of
the craft, and it was reported at that
time that the boat would touch at San
| Diego before making the trip to the
islands. 1t did not do so.
Just before the Kate left northern
waters a supply of gasoline was taken
aboard, the fuel was placed in tho
tanks of the boat and when the Nor
thern Light transferred the mysterious
| passenger to the power schooner the
casks which had contained the gasoline
were loaded aboard the tug and the
captain instructed to return them to
San Francisco.
1t is understood the usual methods
| OF the captains of the schooners and
| other vessels engaged in the turtle
trade were to land at San Diego on
the trip and obtain an additional sup
ply of fuel. The fact that the Kate
did not land at that port leads the off,
| GERS to believe that all was not right
and that the crew of the boat took all
precautions not to land at a port in
this country
Since the information was obtained
connecting the Kate with the case the
authorities of the different ports on
the western coast of Mexico and the
countries of South America have been
notified to look out for the vessel and
apscehend any person connected with
the craft.
Captain of Detectives F'lamrner last
night stated he has not received infor-
nation concerning the arrest of the
men and that he knew nothing about
the matter. 1t is probable that the
men under arrest in the Mexican town
will be subjected to a rigid eXamina-
ton and be held pending the arrival
of officers from Los Angeles to bring
them to this city.
