Otis, publisher of the Los Angeles
Times, by means of an Internal ma
chine, was made Saturday after
noon. Following as it does the ex-
pIosion which early Saturday, with
great loss of life, destroyed the
buildings and plant of the Times, a
suspected effort to blow up the auxil-
iary 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, the at
tempted outrage has wrought this
city to an intense state of suspense
and excitement. General Otis and
the other responsible heads Of the
paper unequivocally charge the
Times building disaster and the
narrowly averted attempts at fur
ther destruction of life and property,
to labor union sources.
Repudiate Accusations.
With equal emphasis the leaders
of union labor here and throughout
the state repudiate the accusation
and have offered all aid in their
power in the effort to detect the cul-
prits.
For 20 years, following a quarrel
with the typographical union which
resulted in making the Times a nom
union paper, General Otis has fought
unionism with every resource at his
command. He has been seconded in
this fight by the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, whose
secretary was the object of frus-
trated dynamiting Saturday.
Feeling Intense.
The feeling which ran high
throughout the city during the day
over the Times disaster, was aug
mented when the startling discovery
was made that a dynamite bomb had
been found under the residence of
Secretary Zeehandelaar and reached
a state of alarm and CONSERVATION
when the attempt on General Otis,
nee became known.

outline in some detail.
Report After Election.
President Taft announced that he
had directed the tariff commission
to make no report of the work il

until after the election. He took
this step, he declared in order to
lift the commission out of politics

gested future revision of the tariff,
schedule by schedule, and declared
that the Payne tariff law is coming
generally to be recognized as a most
creditable bill
The president declared for
sweeping extension of the civil SER
vice.
Outlines Future.
In outlining the future plans Of
his administration the president
placed stress upon the proposed fed
eral incorporation law. He referred
to the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust cases pending in the United
States supreme court and declared
that he did not share the fears some

adverse to the corporation would
greatly disturb financial centers.

financial disaster.
Besides the president, Represen-
tative Nicholas LoEgworth of Ohio
was one of, the chief speakers of
the evening. His address was main

ON EFFECT OF TARIFF VERIFIED

from s1.75 a box in April, 1897, to
$3.50 in April, 19O1-175 per cent
in four years.
The Dingley tariff made the trusts,
and the trusts put up the prices. But
few, if any, trusts were formed dur
ing the three years of the compar-
atively low duties of the Wilson bill.
The reason the sugar trust, the
steel trust, the lumber trust and the
harvester trust are willing to con-
tribute large sums to the campaign
funds of President Taft and repub-
lican candidates for congress and
are unwilling to contribute to the
funds of democratic candidates, is
