DISCOVERED 500 POUNDS DYNAMITE
A New Feature Brought Out IN Con-
nection With Demolition OF Los
Angeles Times.

San Francisco, Cal.-The discovery
Sunday of 500 pounds of dynamite
hidden in an untenanted house near
the bay in South San Francisco thfe"
the detectives working on the Los An
geles Times explosion case into ne"
spasms of activity and cast an lnky
darkness over the cleWS hitherto con-
sidered brilliant of promise. The dyna-
mite was contained in ten boxes OF
fifty pounds each addressed to }. b.
Bryson and is supposed to be the
same lot as that purchased by three
men from the Giant Powder Works
Sept. 20.

Bryce" and Perry" the "squint-eyed
man." who purchased the giai, pow
der and took it away in the launch
Pastime, are the men responsible Tor
the Times horror, apparently is rid
died.
Jas. C. O'Brien, owner of the house
at Nineteenth avenue, South San Fran
cisco, where the dynamite was found
was responsible for the discovery.
On Sept. "A a man giving his name
as VIM. Gait, who answers the de
scription of the third man who accom-
panied Bryce" and Perry to the
Giant Powder Works, rented the mouse
of real estate firm. That night MIS-
John Fox, a neighbor, saw two mel
drive up to the house in delivery wa
gon. The wagon contained a loa'
covered by two large pieces of canvas
The wagon was unloaded, the me-
drove off and no one has been Sc
around the house since that time.
OBrien decided to go out to IN
house and see who the new tenant
were. He found it empty and IN tn
parlor the boxes of dynamite. On
box was opened and as soon as MI
, O'Brien saw that it contained dyn;
, mite he notified the police.

The Snake In the Dining Room.

had bitten him. Down Fourth street,
through the alley, and down Third
street went Mr.. Murphy, all the time
he was yelling for doctor. There
was more excitement, and several per-
sons ran after Mr.. Murphy.
For an hour the crowd stood awe
struck. Railroad men famous for their
bravery stood without making move
and then a real hero made his way
to the Russell house door. 1t was
Lewis Russell Of Marion, who boards
at the house Mr.. Russell carefully
entered the dining-room. AS he was
not coming out the crowd got nerve
enough to get near the windows to see
the performance.
Upon Mr.. Russelrs entry the big
snake, attracted by the noise, stuck
out his head from under pile OF
dishes and Mr.. Russell made one grab
He got the snake by the head Just
what might have happened to Mr.
Russell is hard to tell, but by this
time the snake owner had been
found, and he came rushing into the
dining-room. With the help of 9
blanket. which was laid on the floor
and a rabbits tail, the snake was sub
dued. The reptile was placed on the
blanket and the owner waved rab
bits tail until the big boa constructor
coiled up and was placed in the box
The box was nailed and tied with
ropes and the unfortunate owner Of
the reptile was ordered to find new
hotel.
The damage done by the reptile
amounted to about SIS, which the
Snowman paid. There were many
broken dishes, including coffee poi
which the snake turned over. The
coffee was not hot enough to scale
his snakeship.

COTTON BILLS OF LAD|hC
A PROPOSITION MADE BY The
AMERICAN BANKERS.
Cost 6 to 7 Cents a Bale-BelIeVed TO
Be the Only Possible Solution
Some Regard it Impractical.

New York.-A move toward a settle
ment of the differences now existing
between European and American
bankers over the cotton bills OF ladng
controversy was taken at conference
Thursday, when American bankers,
aided by American cotton interests
and cotton carrying railroads, recon-
mended the formation OF 'guaran'
ty" company to validate cotton bills
at the moderate sost of &c to &c BALE
This was merely recommendation,
however, for so far as could be learn
ed no action to organize the proposed
guaranty company has yet been taken
and it is considered likely that oppo-
sition will be manifested on the part
of the American cotton exporters.
The plan as suggested is generally
regarded as a decided concession to
the European bankers, who have been
represented at recent conferences
with New York bankers by Sir Ed
ward H. Holden. chairman of the Lon
don City and Midland Bank, which
does an enormous business in Amer
lean cotton bills. The, American bank
ers are not especially optimistic con
corning the outcome and some are dis
posed to question the practicability OF
the plan. A statement issued aftel
the conference says:
The members of the committee O
the American Bankers Association
and important cotton men, togethe
with Sir Edward Holden, met in con
suItation Thursday and they came II
the conclusion that the only possible
solution of this difficulty will be tn
creation of a guaranty company, witt
an adequate capital, to guarantee tn
validity of bills Of lading and to safe
guard against forgery, at the moderat
cost of &C to &c bale.
1--WE believe that when this con
pany is formed it's guarantee will b
acceptable to the exchange buyer
and will be made in the form require
by the European acceptors."
In addition to the bills of ladin
committee of the American Banker
Association there were present at tn
meeting Robert Walker, general coul
sci of the Rock Island system, an
Samuel Hubbard, former president
the new York Cotton Exchange.
