Whereas, at an early hour this

Angeles Times was destroyed by an
explosion and fire, resulting in the
loss of lives of innocent persons
and a great destruction of prop

traitors of crime against society,

Threatening letters We're received
yesterday by the Pacific Light and
Power company, the Los Angeles Gas

son Electric company. Each asserted
that the plants would be blown up
during the night.
While it is believed that certain per-

slider jokes, no chances were taken and
h force of armed men guarded each
plant last night. c. S. Holman, field

police, is an agitator, was arrested
early yesterday morning by Patrolman

twisted iron girders and broken and
bent linotype machines was begun.
The workmen felt confident that when
the mass of iron was taken out they
would find the rest of the bodies. After
working the entire day, during which
time many tons of debris was removed,
the laborers were unable to find an
other corpse.
Powder experts were on the scene
from the time the work was resumed
at o'clock yesterday morning, and
every piece of twisted iron taken out
was inspected by them, in order that
they might find something that would
reveal the exact nature of the eXplo-
sive used.
CLOSELY SCAN DEBRIS
These beams were piled in the street,
where a second examination would be
made. All the debris taken out also
was piled in the street and carefully
examined for anything that would
lead to the probable identity of the
charred bodies already taken out. A
close watch was made for any article
that might throw more light on the
explosion.
Relatives of those who lost their
lives when the building was wrecked
still line the ropes and anxiously wait
for news. Some of these watchers nave
maintained their places at the ropes
for sixteen hours at a stretch.
The workmen experience considerable
difficulty in removing the debris be-
cause most of the wreckage consists OF
heavy machinery, which is fused with
other iron and tangled with pieces OF
stone and chunks of brick. 1t IS
thought that five or six days will be
required to remove the debris.
More than a dozen patrolmen are
kept on duty near the wrecked build
ing. Some of the officers are stationed
inside the ropes to keep out persons
attempting to pass through the lines,
while the majority of the policemen
were kept busy handling the crowds
and keeping the sidewalks clear.
The laborers are given coffee and
sandwiches at the city jail at midnight,
then resume work until daylight, when
the day shift comes on duty.

AVERAGE.

Inc F1nancler Will say:
BY a sharp contraction in loans
amounting to S15.O9S. 100, which in turn
accounted in large part for a decrease
OF $24. 79jJOO in deposits, and a cor
responding decrease of over $4,000, 600 in
reserve requirements, the clearing house
banks of New York were enabled last
week to more than offset the loss OF
$4,192.4O In specie and legals, and the
result was an actual increase OF $2,006, 415
in reserve, bringing the surplus above
the 2os per cent minimum to $685., S25.
These figures are based on the report of
actual conditions, but the statement OF
averages issued Saturday reflected opera
tons already included in the previous
weeks actual statement The reserve fig
ureS on the average returns are So
400. The loss of cash to the interior
last week was not as heavy as reported
for the previous seven days, and the out
look is that the drain for crop purposes
from this time on will soon be offset by
a return flow I'm this direction The sum-
mary of state banks and trust companies
not reporting to the New York clearing
house seems TO indicate that the burden
of loans which the clearing house banks
are throwing off is being assumed by the
trust companies and outside institutions.

was favorable in all particulars
II is to be noted in connection with the
current bank statement that the gains
and losses were to some extent affected
by the admission of the Union Exchange
National to clearing house membership

would have been even more clearly de-
fined than otherwise had the new men,

OIL, KING OF FUELS

Since the first announcement of
the unusual plan offered by the Cali
fornia Consolidated Oil Company, in
quiries have been received from in
vestors all over the United States.
The organization of such a COM
munity of interests to promote
great producing enterprise upon
basis which insureS every stock
holder his exact share of profits has
naturally enlisted the interest of
men who have idle money. Remit
tances have been received by almost
every mail from practically every
State in the Union. In view of the
splendid response to the invitations
of the last two weeks, we do not be-
lieve that the opportunity will long
remain open.

Interior Still Demands Money.
Sharp Curtailment of Loans.

The slight increase in the surplus shown
by the actual condition Of the banks was
brought about by sharp curtailment OF
loans IN order TO cut down the deposit
item sufficiently to outrun the Shrnkage
in reserve, the cash item showing all of
the estimated 100000 loss. The effect is
to broaden the excess of loans over de-
posts. which is the subject OF criticism
in the present banking position. The
actual condition of the clearing house
banks is set against a loan increase of
$12.647, 90 by other banks and trust COM
panies, pointing to a shifting of loan ac-
counts from one quarter to another for
the relief of the situation of the clear
ing house banks.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales par
value S1,O1O0OO United States bonds are
unchanged from last week in the bid
price on call.

NEW YORK. October s.-SpecuIation
was at a standstill in today's stock mar
ket. The immediate influence was the
desire to see the complexion of the bank
statement, which did not appear until
after the close of the market.
Aside from the showing made by that
document the general course of the
money market makes for conservatism
in speculative extension. The tranquil
lily of the money market up to this time
plainly is due to the self-restraint of the
speculative spirit, and it is believed that
immunity from disturbance for the rest
of the year can be assured only by per-
sistence in that policy.

TIE interior demand for money to
move the crops has not been satisfied

the volume of new capital issues can be
kept down TO the low figure ruling for

Properties and Earning Power.
The properties proposed to be operated by the
California Consolidated Oil Company being
operated as three individual oil companies, are
follows
MASCOT OIL 'COMPANY-Located in the
Midway District. Consists of 100 acres. Equipped
with "a wells. Four additional wells being
drilled. Present output 10000 barrels per month,
provides net income of 100000 per annum. Has

dends OF per cent per month

PREMIER OIL COMPANY-Located in Coal
inga Oil Fields. Property consists of 100 acres
Fourteen producing wells, now being drilled and
one ready for drilling These sixteen wells, baslng
the figures upon the present production of the four
teen now producing, will yield at least $4,000
barrels yearly. This means a net income of $780,
900. Has been paying dividends at the rate of II
per cent per annum
YELLOWSTONE OIL COMPANY-Hold-
ings in Kern River, Sunset and McKitrick Fields.
Property consists of 225 acres, all leased to other
companies except ten acres. This ten acres being
operated by the company contains six wells
The estimates of profit from the Mascot and
Premier properties above based upon the present
fifty wells upon the two properties. In the judg
ment of the best oil experts of California, these
properties will easily support 40 wells. On the
conservative basis of estimate this should
provide net income of ST $4,000 per annum. This
estimate is based upon the two properties alone
making allowance for the Yellowstone property
for other profitable branches of the industry
into which this corporation will enter.

ing this stock to few capitalists underwriters
