given out from the battleship New
Hampshire a list of Twenty-Five men

dent occurred were in circulation. The
generally accepted one, however, was
that the barge, heavily loaded with
sailors and marines returning from
shore leave, was towed into the heavy
swells of a passing steamboat. Rising
for a moment like. a cork the barge
then plunged into the trough between

Milk Inspection Allowed.

The Bismarck city commission at a
protracted meeting passed the appro-
priation ordinance and among the
items is $3.50 for milk inspection,
which also means there will be a
branch of the state health laboratory
located in Bismarck in the near flu
ture. Money was also appropriated
for the purchase of a team of horses
for the fire department. The appro-
priation is about $4,000 greater than
the past year and most of it will go
towards building up the fire depart
ment.

SCORE DIE IN FIRE
Plant Of Los Angeles Times Is
Totally Destroyed.
ORGANIZED LABOR BLAMED
Charge is Made That the Disaster
Followed the Explosion of a
Dynamite Bomb.

Los Angeles, Oct. "A score of per-
sons are believed to have persisted in
a fire which swept the building occu-
pied by the Los Angeles Times.
The fire followed an explosion in
the mechanical department of the
Times and rapidly spread throughout
the entire building. The building was
soon a mass of flames and firemen say
they believe many who attempted to
reach the windows fell back into the
blaze.
Immediately after the first explosion
a sheet of flame seemed to envelope
the entire building, sweeping upward
through the four-story structure. Be
fore an alarm could bring the fire ap-
paratus a series of sharp detonations
shook the neighborhood for blocks.
Employees who had just left the
building when the explosion occurred
say that gas had been leaking some
where in the building all evening and
that the smell of gas pervaded the
whole structure.
This has led the police to believe
that gas caused the explosion.
During the fire at the Times sew
eral surrounding buildings were
threatened, but hard work by the fire
men saved them. The Times plant is
estimated to be worth over $500, 900
and is a total loss.

did not occur until after the paper
had been gotten out the death toll
was much less thar if it had happened
a few hours earlier.
Times Was Nonunion Paper.
The Times building is located at
First and Broadway, in the heart CT
the business section of the city, and
is owned by General Harrison Gray
OtiJ. 1t is n OF the largest nonunion
papers in the country and for years
has been the zone of bitter warfare
between General Otis and the friends
of union labor.
The Times has for years been run
as an open shop" Recently union
labor forces have been engaged in a
life and death struggle in Los Angeles.
AS a result, and before there was the
slightest notice that the disaster was
anything other than a pure accident,
enemies of union labor voiced the sug-
gestion that the accident was due to
the union labor trouble. Officials of
the unions Indignantly denied this and
will probably start a searching inves-
tigation to prevent capital being made
Of the accident. They say that the
investigation will prove that the dis
aster was due to c%arelessness and
lack of safety device precautions.
Harry E. Andrews, managing editor
Of the Times, gave out the following
statement:
"The Times building was destroyed
by dynamite by the enemies of indus
trial freedom.
1.-THE Times itself cannot be de-
stroyed. 1t will soon be reissued
from it's auxiliary plant and will fight
its battles to the last"
Later in the day, the police a
bombs were found at the home of
General Otis in this city and at the
suburban residence of F. J. Zeehan-
delser, president of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association.
Rewards aggregating $780, 900 have
been offered for the capture of the
guilty parties.

RO0SEvELTv|Cr0R
Chosen Chairman Of New York
Republican Convention.
OLD GUARD BADLY ROUTED
Bitter and Acrimonious Speech Pre-
cedes the Taking of the Vote
on Chairman.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt rode On the top
wave of victory, defeating Vice Pres
ident Sherman for temporary chair
mar OF the Republican state conven-
ton and bowling over the old guard
in the first engagement OF a series OF
conflicts that are to come.
Colonel Roosevelt was in his ele-
ment. After he had named the mem
bers of the three important commit
tees and the convention had adjourned
for the day the colonel turned to the
newspaper men and remarked:
You may recall that | said fraZ-
Zled. You may quote me on that
At Troy the former president said
he would beat his opponents to a fraZ-
zle. There were 1,O12 votes cast in
the convention, of which Colonel
Roosevelt received SGT and Vice Pres,
ident Sherman received 445.
In his speech as temporary chair
man Colonel Roosevelt spoke feeling
ly of what President Taft had accom-
plished in his administration, saying
that the laws passed reflect high
credit upon all who succeeded in put
ting them in their present shape.
Colonel Roosevelt bitterly assaulted
the BOSSES" declaring that the differ
ence between a boss and a leader is
that the leader leads and the boss
drives.
Much Feeling Expressed.
1t was a.day of bitter and acrimoni
GUS speech. With the opening of the
convention State Chairman Woodruff
defined the position of the old guard
and announced that Vice President
Sherman had been selected for tempo
rary chairman by the state commit
tee. And then the real fight was on
Colonel Abraham Gruber of New
York city had been selected to fire
the verbal hot shot for the old guard
and his speech attacking the former
president was often broken anC
drowned by Kisses and jeers.
The victory of Colonel Roosevelt il
the first counting of noses did not ap
pear to dishearten the members of the
old guard, for they continued theil
fight on the convention floor when the
progressives submitted resolutions
whereby the committees should be
made by representatives from each
congressional district, the members tc
be named by the temporary chairman
Seeing that this gave absolute pow
er to Colonel Roosevelt, Speaker
Wadsworth of the assembly strongly
opposed the resolutions. He took the
position that each congressional dis
trict should lame its own member, as
had been done in previous Republican
committees for many years. The pro
gressives, however, we're in the as
cendancy and the resolutions as
drafted by friends of Mr.. Roosevelt
were carried.
