said Burns, that escape is practically
impossible. 1t is only a question of
time when we will bring them in The
facts gathered about san Francisco
click up to a dot with what we have
learned at this end. The trail left by
the dynamiters is clearer than we had
expected. In some instances it is of
nature that leads us to believe that
the Identification will come quickly
There are some gaps to be filed in. but
the necessary material is being accU-
muIated satisfactorily"
For the present the main efforts of
the detectives in charge of the investi-
cation will be devoted to this territory.
A number of persons have come for
ward with information that has led TO
the temporary arrest of several sus-
poets, but the police stated tonight that
they had in detinue no one against

preston of sympathy with the deed.

The theory upon which the whole in
yestigation is being pressed holds the
dynamiters as the agents of others. 1t
is known that the men who obtained the
explosives at the Giant powder works
were supplied with quantities of money.
For the powder. the boat and other ar
ticles they obtained they paid from a
huge roll of currency. This is regarded
as strengthening the theory of conspir-
acy and tending to show that there
had been a substantial payment in Nad-
vance.
The aim of the investigation viii be
to run the plot to its source. This is
the desire of the businessmen's com
mittee and of the commission Of the
state federation of labor
The San Francisco police force has
come actively into the local situation
through the presence here OF Detect
ives Bunner. Ryan and Burke. They
have been cooperating with Burns in
the north and will give further assist

report has been received telling of the
presence of the little vessel.
There is now strong belief that the
dynamite was brought down here in

for the guilty persons through infor-

road companies have been furnished
with full descriptions of the suspected
men.
