SAYS DESTROYERS OF
TIMES NOT ANGELENOS
Police Chief Believes Outrage
Committed by Men from
Another City

I'VE are doing everything in cur
power to apprehend the person or per-
sons responsible for the destruction
of the Times this morning" said Chief
Galloway yesterday. Il have had pa
trolmen stationed at the railroad
depots and kept a close watch on all
outgoing trains. 1 do not think that
the despicable outrage was committed
| by Los Angeles union labor man or
any of their sympathizers, but by
someone from another city-Whtch
place l do not know at the present
time.
I'VE do not know the exact cause
of the fire but have every reason to
believe it to have been caused by
dynamite or nitro-glycerine. Until
the rescue corps now at work on the
building has reached the basement of
the building it will be impossible to
say with certainty the real cause.
When they clear away enough of the
debris so that we can investigate the
basement under the alleyway where
the explosive Is supposed to have been
placed we will be able to say with
certainty the cause Of the confiagra-
tion.''
Captain F1ammer Of the detective
department said:
although we are in possession of
no tangible clews as to the Identity
of the men responsible for the out
rage, I have assigned every available
man on the force to assist in probing
the cause Of the fire. That the build
ing was wrecked by dynamite seems
certain from all my men have been
able to learn. There are certain clews
which we believe might lead to ar
rests being made but whether they
will end in any real result is impos-
| sible to tell now.
"The ruins were thoroughly inves-
tigated yesterday as far as possible
by detectives, but owing to the vast
amount of debris they were greatly
Handicapped. We are doing everything
in our power to take the guilty per-
sons into custody and believe that we
viii be able to apprehend the flends

Saturday morning. Ralph Criswell,

Mr.. CrisWell says, are especially anX-
ious that the mystery regarding the
explosion shall be cleared away.
"The typographical union wants a
thorough investigation by an honest
grand jury" said Mr.. Criswell. ut
wants the work done by men anxious
to get the facts. If the Times building
was dynamlted, 1t wants the guilty
persons apprehended and given the Sc
verest penalty the law makes possible.
