plant in a warehouse here. to be used m just such an emergency.
 A large part of the editorial force had knocked off work at the time the explosion occurred. Most of the dead were employed in the composing, ster- eotyping and mailing departments.
 Irrnediately after the first explo- sion a sheet of flame seemed to en- Velop the entire building, sweeping up ward through the four story struc- ture. Before an alarm could bring the fire apparatus a series of sharp detonations shook the negihborhood for blocks. Employees, who had just left the building when the explosion occurred say that gas had been leak ing somewhere in the building all ev- ening and that the smell of gas per vaded the whole structure. This has led the police to believe that gas caused the explosion.
 Harry Andrews managing editor of the Times, gave out the following statement:
 "The Times Building was destroyed by dynamite this morning by the enc mics of industrial freedom. The Times soon be re-issued from it's auxiliary plant and will fight it's battles to the last
 'sThe horror of the loss of life and naiming of men precludes further statement at this hour"
 The Times Building is located at First and Broadway in the heart of is one of the largest non-Union news papers in the country and for years has been the scene of bitter warfare between General Otis and friends of Union labor.
 Owing to the fact that the explo- sion did not occur until after the pa per had been gotten out today, the death toll was much less than if it had happened a few hours earlier. At an early hour today it was stated that only a dog watch of two men was in the editorial department at the time of the explosion and that all of the dead were thought to have been among the mailing and mechanical force.
 The Times has for years been run as an open shop. Recently union la bor forces h!S-e engaged in a life and death struggle in Los Angeles with the merchants inclined to favor the closed shop system.
 Enemies of union labor voiced the opinion that the disaster was due to advocates of the union movement. Union officials state that an investi- gation will prove that the disaster was due to carelessness and lack of, safety device precautions.

Los Angeles, Oct That the dynaniting and burning of the plant of the Los Angeles Times early to- day was only part of a plot to de- stroy not only the Times, but persons who have aided the Times in it's war fare, was alleged by friends of Gen eral Harrison Gray Otis and by some of the police as the result of the ffnd- ing just before noon of an exploded dynamite bomb under the porch of the suburban residence of F. J. Zee handela CT, president of the Mer- chants & Miners Association Zee handelaer is a close friend and sup porter of General Otis.
 Los Angeles. Cal, Oct. 1.-Restoring a semblance of order out of the chaos which followed a fatal explosion and fire that completely destroyed the plant of the Los Angeles Times early today, the editorial and busin less man agers of the paper assembled the ern- pIoyes for a roll call and then an nounced that at least sixteen persons were dead, sixteen were missing and twenty injured.
 The explosion and fire which caus- ed a loss of $500,000 has aroused Los Angeles as it has not been aroused has instituted a vigorous investigation to determine who, if anyone, was re- spOnsible.
 Managing Editor Harry Andrews and other persons charge the disaster to enemies of the paper: o ed today that the explosion which wrecked the plant was due to dyna- mite. He declared the police had ob- tained positive evidence.
 As a result of the desperate warfare which has for years been waged be- tween the union leaders and General Harrison Gray Otis, owner Of the Times, friends of the latter are openly charging today that the building was dynarnited by enemies of the paper.
 Owing to the fact that twenty-five extra printers and several other es7 tra men employed in the mechan1cal department were at work Friday night on the Sunday pages, considerable diff ficulty was at first experienced Tn get ting accurate figures as to the number of dead and injured.
 The property loss is estimated ,,;1t at upwards of half a million dollars, put the nublication of the Times will not be suspended. So bitter has been the feeling against the paper that the management, it developed today, mas for many months kept a duplicate

BIG HOSPITAL LIST.

Mineo1a, L. T., Oct. 1.-Nine men and two women are in the Nashua hospital here today, brought in from various points along the Vanderbilt Cup Course, with injuries varying g from slight to fatal. The conditions are chaotic, and in several cases the hospital physicians do not even know the names of the injured. There have been several accidents along the line that have not been reported until a temporary ambulance carried the in jured to the hospital. Cars after striking spectators continued on their speed-mad way without stopping to learn the results.
 Experts here ascribe the terrible quota of accidents to the condition of the course which has been softened bv the morning rains. At the Hicks vile turn the track was ploughed a foot deep by the skidding cars as they swung on two wheels After the fifth lap the Hiskville turn was in such condition that all of the most daring of the speed kings drove slow ly when they approached it.
 The Westbury turn was in such bad condition that after the fifth lap the spectators in that neighborhood mov- ed back 50 feet.
