ONE BOMB KILLS 20
PLANT OF LOS ANGELES TIMES Is
DESTROYED WITH MANY
FATALITIES.
HOMES MENACED IN PLOT
Internal Machines Found Beneath Res
licences of Two Bitter Foes to Or
ganized Labor-Big Reward Offered
for Capture of Perpetrators.

Los Angeles, Cal-At least twenty
men Sst their lives Saturday when
the building occupied by the Los
Angeles Times Publishing company
was destroyed by fire.
The fire was preceded by an explo-
sion and Immediately the building was
enveloped In flames. The blast oc-
CURED on the second floor of an ad-
dition to the old building. This is of
the entire structure was a fiery fur
mace.
The havoc of the explosion was
greatest in the mechanical depart
ments, and the majority of the dead
and injured were members Of these
departments. Twenty-Five injured were
taken to the receiving hospital.
Within twelve hours after the
wrecking of the Times plant an at
tempt was made to destroy the resi-
dence of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, pub
Usher of the paper, by means of an In
fernal machine.
The bomb was discovered In suit
case hidden under bunch of vines
near bay window and was exploded
as it was hurled into the street by
police officers. Little damage was
done
Another Internal machine was found
earlier in the day at the residence OF
F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation.
General Otis and the other respon-
sible heads of the paper charge the
Times building disaster and narrowly
averted attempts at further destruc-
ton of life and property to labor union
sources. The property damage is esti-
mated at 100000.
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 culprits.
For twenty years, following quar-
rel with the typographical union,
which resulted in making the Times a
nonunion paper, General Otis has
fought unionism with every resource
at his command. He has been ably
seconded in this fight by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association,
whose secretary was the object OF
frustrated dynamiting.
The president of the local typo
graphical union issued orders that
union printers may work in conjunc-
ton with the nonunion printers of the
Times in any of the local newspaper
Offices in getting out the edition of
the Times.
The city council met in special ses-
sion and appropriated $4,000 for the
purpose of determining the cause of
the Times explosion and provided a
reward of $4,000 for the capture of
those responsible for the outrage.

FOUR KILLED IN AUTO RACE
Score Are njured-Mismanagement
charged-Harry Grant Wins Van
derbit Cup in Record Time.

New York-Four persons killed and
twenty seriously injured-several of
them probably fatally-was the sacri-
flee on the altar of speed at the sixth
Vanderbilt cup automobile race Satur-
day.
Mismanagement and poor policing
of the course were declared RESPONSE
BILE for the slaughter. Many of the
victims we're spectators, run down
when the racing autos crashed irto
the crowds lining the parkway.
The race was won in electrifying
fashion by Harry Grant, driving 120
horsepower Alec. He defeated Joe
Dawson, driving a Marmon, by the
narrow margin of twenty-five seconds.
John Aitken, in a National, was only
a minute and six seconds behind Daw-
son.

D|ETz SURROUNDED.
GORDON OF DEPUTIES PREPARES
TO CLOSE IN ON CAM
ERON DAM.
LEADER BRAGS WHAT HE WILL DO
Machine Guns May Be Used on House
At Last Resort.-Winter Still
Armed and Inhabitants
Quake in Terror.

Winter. - John DietZ, the uncon
quered defender of Cameron Dam, will
be the object of a grim siege from
now on until his capture, or escape.
The tide of battle changed with the
establishment of a Gordon of sharp
shooters and woodsmen at vantage
points on the approaches to the log
cabin on Thornapple river.
Regardless of the fact that from
now on the fight will be pushed into
Dietz's territory, the guard on Winter
has not been relaxed, the city officials
at any time fearing an attack by Dietz.
On the Thornapple turnpike the cor
don extends to the bridge that crosses
the Brunnis river. Here, just above the
ford, the men have ambushed them
selves in the bluff behind blind of
fallen trees, and underbrush. They
command a two-mile view of the long,
undulating swamp that comprises the
meandering valley Of the Brunnis river
and also view for a mile to the top
of hill on the Thornapple turnpike in
the direction of the Dietz farm.
Along the Price Dam road, the out
posts are stationed five miles from
Winter at a sharp turn in the road,
where from an eminence on wooded
hillside a view of the highway can
be had for two miles. Three men have
been assigned to guard the Kaiser log
ging road which plunges from the
country road in the densest of the
forest and is almost impossible except
to pedestrians.

PRAISE FOR LA TOILETTE
CONVENTION CALLS SENATOR Pl'
oNEER PROGRESSIVE.
Wisconsin Republicans Declare Payne
Tariff Law Fails to Carry Out
Party Pledge.

Madison, Wis-Sharp criticism OF
the Payne tariff law, demand for
the physical valuations of railroads
and unstinted praise of Senator La
Toilette as the pioneer progressive"
are the principal planks Of the plat
form adopted by the Republican state
convention Wednesday.
Endorsement Of the states strongly
"Insurgent" delegation in congress
pressed in the following resolution:
Wisconsin Is to be congratulated
upon having representatives in the
senate and house who remained true
to the people and to the national plat
form of the party, Notwithstanding
the efforts to punish them, for SO do
ing by withdrawal of federal patro-
mage"
On the tariff the platform says:
'The Payne-Aldrich tariff is not a
compliance with the pledge of the
Republican party in its national plat
form. The true basis of protective
tariff is the difference between the
cost or production at nome ana
abroad, and we hold any increased
cost Of production Of living of Amer
lean labor should be accompanied by
compensating tariff duties.
"The present tariff board has no
power of investigation, and is not re-
CURED to report to congress. We ia
vor the creation Of a nonpartisan
tariff committee empowered to ascer-
tain the cost of production in this and
other countries, and required to make
frequent reports of the information
gained in congress.
Upon the information so obtained
congress should proceed to revise the
different schedules Independently of
each other, according to true pro-
tective tariff principles"

LAUNCH UPSETs; 20 DROWN
Members Of BattIeship New Hamp-
shire Are Victims of Accident In
the Hudson River.

New York-Twenty-ni persons
all members of the crew of the battle
ship New Hampshire-were drowned
in the sinking of launch in the Hud-
son river Saturday.
That the list of dead is not much
higher is due to the bravery and per-
sonal rescue effected by Godfrey De
C. Chevalier, a midshipman.
One survivor said Chevalier himself
rescued Is persons who were in the
water, besides saving the lives of
many others by showing them the
best method Of saving themselves.

Loves Crime.

George was manly fellow, yet, sur
prising as it may seem, he was guilty
of grave charge, a criminal offense-
theft, for had he not many times,
stolen kisses from his fair sweet
heart?
Maude, one of the most lovable OF
girls, was equally guilty as an acces-
sorry; she received the stolen property.
Each seemed to have perfect cont1-
dence In the other, however, and when
sentence was pronounced by a proper
ly qualified official, they decided to
serve their time together.
They remained loyal to the end,
neither making any effort to have
their sentence abrogated or shortened,
but during the course of their long
term together several small offenses
were directly chargeable to them.

Fight to be to Finish.

Fred Thorbin, who is at the head OF
the armed deputies and is the recog-
nized head of the martial law" which
still prevails in this section of the
country, says: "This will end forever
the controversy over Dietz. There
will be no abatement to this endeavor
to wrest him from the fastness of his
fortified cabin. No doubt some of us
will be killed in doing it and Dietz
himself will surely be killed If he re-
sists. The thing has gone far enough
and this will simply be the finish of
it. If he holds out too long, the chair
man of the county board has advised
the use of fec gun and has given
his official permission for it's USE"
BY special order of Sheriff Mike
Madden at Hayward, no newspaper
correspondents were allowed within
the lines drawn around the Dietz
place. A party of newspaper men was
held up at the point of guns at Brunnis
Ford and turned about. Sheriff Mad
den is authority for the statement that
there had been too much publicity, and
that Dietz was receiving much of his
moral support from this source. A
correspondent who rode along the
guarded road while armed men in the
brush on either side let him go I'M
moleSted, was expected to return with
news of great worry and despair in
the Dietz household, but disappoint-
ment was evident when, upon his re-
turn to Winter, such information was
not Forthcoming.
When Under-Sheriff George Arnson,
left Winter with Myra Dietz, suffering
excruciating pain, in the baggage car
he had been instructed by DR.. S. j.
Burns to take the wounded girl imme-
diately to the hospital at Chippewa
Falls, as it was a case of life and
death. At Tuscobia, Arnson received
telegram from District Attorney
Davis also, it is said, ordering. the
girls removal to Chippewa Falls
William Dietz, brother of the defend
err of Cameron Dam, met the train
and tried to console the wounded girl
who showed plainly on her face, the
suffering which the enforced trip on
the floor of the baggage car meant.
William Dietz demonstrated with the
under-sheriff and demanded his nieces
removal to st. Jcseph's hospital at
Chippewa Falls as originally intended,
but Arnson was obdurate and insisted
in changing the litter from the bag
gage car of one train to another and
the girl was taken to Ashland, Wis.
instead.
According to a confidential state
ment made by Myra to Mrs. Phelan
when she was confined in the Hotel
Winter the first words spoken during
the ambuescade were vile and insult
ing. That this statement by the
wounded girl is true, is verified by
the fact that Clarence from his cell
tells the same story and Leslie after
his fight through the woods, placed
the same words in the mouths of the
attacking party. Since the ambuscade
there has been absolutely no chance
for the three children to get together
and make up the story.

London's bad season, with dull
gray skies and chill winds, is partly
compensated for by the promise OF
good grouse shooting. Parliament has
risen in time for the sport, and that
part of society which is not already
ION the continent" is bound northward
for the moors. Summerless England
Is exchanged for. Scotland, which,
when the grouse are plentiful and In
good condition, is a good place to be.
even II the weather is wet. Bright
skies over the moors transform the
sportsman's part of Scotland into a
semblance Of paradise. To be sure,
the serpent is there. The guns crack
and the birds are slaughtered by the
thousands. But they have fulfilled
their destiny. Who can do more?
And mighty good eating is a well
cooked grouse from the Grampian
hills.

Nearly one million new farms have
been created in the United States du-
ring the last ten years. In the last
ten years the total number of farms
has increased 10 per cent, says Ameri-
can Agriculturist. In the older states,
from Ohio eastward, there has been
going On for twenty years a tendency
toward the amalgamation of farms dis
tant from market into larger holdings.
On tho other hand, this section has
witnessed the cutting up into smaller
sizes @; many farms nearer to mar
ket Ehere are now almost three
times as many farms as in 1870, and
an unprecedented increase In the
value of farm lands and live stock.

In East Haddam, about sixteen

over 1000 years ago. The Spanish In
