ATTEMPT ON AUXILIARY PLANT.
Los Angeles. Cal. Oct 1.--Asst. Gen.
Manager Chandler Is authority for the
statement that an attempt to blow up
the Times auxiliary plant at College
and San Fernando street was made u
few minutes before the explosion &C.
Cured which destroyed the main,otlicc
at First and Broadway. Mr.. Chand-
Ter said today that one of his men had
reported that shortly before O'clock
this morning two men were seen by n
| special. officer placing Il ladder at the
rear Of their branch building and climb
| Ing to the roof. He watched the men
while they We're at work trying to eff
feet an entrance through the skylight.
He fired Mt them twice with his revolt
yer and7the men fed. Mr.. Chandler in
terprets this as further proof that a
carefully planned effort was made last
night to destroy both the Times main
and branch offices.
There is no doubt but that the explo-
sion was caused by a. charge Of dyna-
mite plnced apparently in the little
blind alley In the center of the main
building" said Mr., Chandler. mo
other agency could have caused it.
There was no oil in the building: we
had no boilers to explode. There was
no gasoline In the place except a small
can or two IN the composing room. It
is true that the building was equipped
with gas, but no explosion Of gas could
have caused such a catastrophe.
For years we have been receiving
threatening letters from people who
said that the paper ought to be blown
up. I haven't received any such letters
lately, although have had several
telephone calls within the past few
weeks threatening us with destruction"
CHIEF GALLowAY's STATEMENT

THAT the Times building was
wrecked by dynamite seems certain
from all TINT my mon can learn.
About 100 patrolmen and most Of the
detectives were on duty at the fire. We
have found some things that seem to
us to point to tho authors of this
calamity, Whether they will end In any
real result is impossible to tell now,
but do know that whether they do
or not the police will keep at It without
rest until this Whole matter Is laid
bare" ;-,yt. r,
