way-Colossal Reward II Offered
for Arrest of Malefactors-Believe
at Least Three Men are Implicated,

Los Angeles, CAL, Oct. 4.-The cor
oDers jury visited the Times ruins to-
day and 1t is believed, will return
verdict that a dynamite explosion
caused the death of 81. Although
500 men are working at rescue work,
the searching of the ruins has hardly
begun and no additional bodies have
been recovered. Officers of the gas
and electric companies today report
ed they received letters threatening to
dynamite their plants too.
The work of clearing the debris Is
extremely hazardous and tedious.
Beams hold up the ashes and several
workmen were buried in the falling
ashes when they stepped over pits.
Each shovel full of ashes Is handled
three times so no chances are taken
of missing portions OF the buried bod
les. Mayor Alexander has named the
First National bank as the depository
for reward funds.
Under the stimulus of these prof
fered rewards aggregating 100000.
hundreds of men, policemen and pri~
vate citizens here and in all coast cit
les. are searching for clews that may
lead to the arrest of the band OF con-
spirators who are held responsible for
the blowing up of the building and
the attempted destruction OF the
homes of General Harrison Gray Otis
and F. j. Zeehanrelaar.
Police and civil officials believe
that there were at least three men
concerned in the outrage which cost
the lives of more than a score OF
Times employees. and the city has plac-
ed a price of $4,000 upon the head
of each. The county yesterday voted
an additional reward OF $4,000 for
every man captured and convicted,
and on top of all this, members of the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
citation of which Mr.. Zeehandelaar is
secretary. decided to offer reward
OF $4,000. Twenty-Five thousand OF
this amount already has been sub
scribed. The rest will be contributed
today II is said.
Upon the assumption that at least
three men were responsible for the
wrecking of the Times. the combined
offers OF rewards thus reach up to
800, ,000-a figure almost unprece-
dented in the annals of criminal pur-
suits, and indicative of the determin-
alton of all classes TO hunt down and
bring to justice the perpetrators OF
the dynamite outrage.

A Chinaman named Charley, man
ager of the City Cafe on South Main

of s240 on Alta street, near Main about
s o'clock last evening. Two white men
are said to have committed the rob-

able to fasten the crime upon any one
as yet. They have no clue on which

hold-up men will make good their es-

According to the story Charley tells

to Los Angeles from here. Detectives

them to hunt the marshes.

Address OF Welcome.
LAS the representative of the busi-
we'll as a pleasure and a privilege, to
welcome the International Dry Farm
ing congress to this city. We well
come you first, because we love to
show western hospitality to our
friends who live in other portions OF
our country and other countries OF
the world. We are proud of our
home, proud of the development of
so great and so habitable a city in the
very few years We have been on the
map and while we realize that some
mistakes have been made and some
crudities are visible, we want you to
know that we are putting our hands
cheerfully and hopefully to their cor
rection.
I'VE welcome you, secondly. be-
cause your aims are closely allied to
our own. We believe that a healthy
growth to this city can come only as
prosperity and population come to this
great area of which this city is GEN.
trail mart, hence our effort to bring
intelligent and industrious settlers in
to our territory to make homes on the
land. We believe the same industry
and the same intelligence applied to
agriculture will yield greater reward
in this inland empire than anywhere
else on earth.
I'VE welcome you, too, because you
are engaged in a great constructive
effort which is sure to work benefit
to mankind. / feel sure that this
movement is not a scheme to furnish
paying jobs to any set of men, nor a
political game to elect some one to
some remunerative office, or to per-
petuate some selfish hold upon the
public treasury; but a real and very
great forward movement, pointed to-
ward good citizenship, good morals
and human brotherhood. In so far as
you revote your deliberations to that
end, in so far as you dedicate your
selves to unselfish service, you will
achieve your own individual happiness
and raise the level of all human life

AN lMPosToR's TRICK.
The Cheerful Liar That Made a Fool
OF the Grand Monarch.

Louis XIV. was taken in once In q
most humiliating way and by an i'm
poster whose only art was lying. In
1867, just after he had returned from
n of his most dazzling military sue
cesses against the Dutch, Louis lie
Grand received word that an embassy
from Persia had just landed at Mar
settles en- route to the French court to
bring salutations and presents from
the shah. Pleased that his fame
should actually have run around the
world, he sent word that all the towns
on the way from Marseilles to Paris
should fete the ambassador.
AS a result the journey to Paris was
a march of triumph. Children sang
and flowers were strewn along the
way. Arrived at Paris, several regi-
ments of the Swiss guard met the
shah's representative and escorted him
to a magnificent suit In the old palace
of the Tuileries. Louis sent no less
a person than the Due de Richelieu to
welcome the potentate and invite him
out to Versailles to a special reception
in the hall of mirrors.
The ambassador presented himself
as Ria Bey of the Persian court and
after showing his credentials adj
vanced to kiss the hand of Louis lie
Grand and give him the shah's con-
g%ratualtions on his recent victories.
A caravan of presents from his i'm
perial sovereign were on their way
and would arrive in Paris in a few
days, said the ambassador.
Festivals followed at Versailles. The
hey received magnificent presents from
Louis and royal entertainment. He
lounged gracefully on divans at the
French court and smoked in Persian
languor. He gave the grand monarque
a few fragments of opal and turquoise,
saying that they came from a Persian
district bordering on the Caspian sea.
The woods there were full of them, he
explained, and he offered to divide
with France-had planted the French
flag there already, as it werei
At last the day came for the formal
presentation Of the shah's gifts, and
on that morning early Ria Bey melted
into space. He was seen or
heard of again. He had, as some one
said, gone glimmering through the
dream of things that were" The
gems that he had left were worth, II
anything, about Is cents apiece, being
glass.-New York Tribune.
