A DASTARDLY CRIME.

As an outcome of labor troubles OF
long standing, the building of the Los
Angeles Times, in Los Angeles, Cal.
was blown up Saturday and twenty
persons killed and many injured. The
debris caught fire after the explosion
and the bodies of the dead were char
red.
The Times was published by Gener-
al Harrison Gray Otis, one of the most
prominent men in California and a
politician of national reputation. He
was on his way home from Mexico at
the time of the explosion.
Twenty years ago the Times had
trouble with its printers and became
a non-union office. 1t has been fight
ing union labor ever since.
The explosion of Saturday was in a
passage way under the building and is
described as follows by man who was
in the composing ROOM!
ga terrific force from below seemed
to raise section of the floor clear to
the roof. The upheaval came between
two linotype machines. Flames and
broken timbers flew in all directions.
The bodies of the men were thrown
against the ceiling"
Fire following completed the de-
struction. The loss in property was
$5OO,O 900. The criminals did not limit
their operations to the newspaper office,
but attempted to blow up the beautiful
home of General Otis, and other build
lngs. Very heavy rewards have been
offered for the culprits and several ar
rests have been made. The labor
unions deny any responsibility for the
crime.

to take hand in the embroglio,
though importuned to do so by Byron

The difference between Barker and

Indianapolis, Aug. 3.-State Chair
man Lee is having many callers at the
state headquarters from all over the
state and they bring in the most en-.
couraging reports as to conditions
The members of the state committee
and the advisory committee have been
busy during the last few weeks in
gathering information in regard to
the conditions In their various dis
tricts and they will make reports Oh
what they have found at the meeting
on Friday. Chairman Lee said he
wished to hear from all of the coun-
ties at this meeting before adoptirs
any definite plan for conducting tho
campaign.
Another meeting that has been
called is for the meeting OF the dis.
trict organizers of the Lincoln league
OF Indiana. Elmer Hastings of Wash.
ington. state president, has called this
meeting for Thursday of this week at
state headquarters. During the ram.
poign the league will have headouar.
tiers with the state committee and " iii
carry on its work in connection with
the committee.
The Lincoln league is arranging a
vigorous campaign. From many parts
OF the state requests have come fc
authority to organize Beveridge clubs
and these will be encouraged by the
Lincoln league.
Cne Of the significant features Of the
arrangements for the meeting on Fri
day is the fact that Chairman Lee
sent invitations to leaders in all OF the
so-called factions in the party and
that responses have already been re-
ceived from many Of them represent
Ing the various factions, indicating
that all elements will be represented
at the conference and that very few
will remain away. This, of course. will
be .discouraging news to the demo.
cratic state organization, because 1t
has been figuring on the republicans
indulging in a cut throat campaign
among themselves this year. 1t is
evident that they will be obliged to
hunt up some other means Of attack
Ing the republicans this year.
The meeting Friday will probably
determine the issues which will be
made prominent in the campaign. The
members Of the committees and the
candidates are expected to be able to
report the general feeling Of the peo-
pie OF the state on the matters that
are now prominently before them and
these reports will enable the commit
tee then to determine just what sub
jects the people are most interested in
The democrats have announced thir
intention to base their campaign this
year on the tariff question. the high
cost of living and Governor Marshalrs
administration. In discussing the ia
rin they will jump on the Payne-Ald-
rich tarin law and the creation of the
tarin commission. This was made
plain by the statement of Senator
Shively who. few days ago, declared
that the tariff commission was useless.
He said he would devote most of his
this year to the tariff ques-
ton.

going over the state there seems to be

There is no lack of comedy interest
in Molly Bawn," the new play by
Marie Doran, which the Cutter Stock
company offers at the Murray today
and tomorrow matinees and night per-
formances. The dramatization of
THE Duchess" famous love story has
been deity handled by this young
and aspiring play builder and while
the original story has been preserved,
there have been introduced comedy sit
uations that are said to be highly
mirth provoking and yet absolutely
consistent with the plot. Laughter
chases away the tear ere 1t has left the
eye and while essentially a play of
sentiment, the author has recognized
that the purpose of the stage is to
entertain as well as educate and ele-
vate. and hence the many delightful
comedy situations with which the play
abounds
THE Duchess novel has been SO
widely circulated and read that it
would seem that following for the
play has already been created, but
even those who have not read this
fascinating tale of Irish life and love
will be- sure to find an absorbing in
terest in the story as it is told in the
four acts of the play.
The locale of the play is laid at
the beautiful lakes of Killarney in
Ireland and the English manor house
of the heroine's maternal grandfather
and affords splendid opportunity for
the most gorgeous scenic effects. a
fact that has been amply taken advan-
tage of by Manager Cutter, who it is
said has provided a scenic equipment
of surprising beauty. The company
