Times building late yesterday. Several
bodies are known to be pinned under

it will be impossible to remove them

Rewards Aggregate 800, 900.
Under the stimulus of proffered rewards
aggregating 100000. hundreds of police
men, detectives and private citizens in all
Pacific coast cities are searching for clues
that may lead to the arrest of the con-
spirators who blew up the Times building
and attempted the destruction of the
homes of Gen. Otis and F. ]. Zeehande-
laar.
Police and civil officers believe that at
least three men were concerned in the
outrages. and the city has placed a price
of $4,000 on the head Of each. The county
today voted an additional reward OF
5000 for every man captured and con-
victed. and members of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association offered a
reward of $4,000, of which $4,000 has
been subscribed.

men were responsible for the explosion,

proximate 100000. a figure almost un-
precedented in the annals of criminal pur-
suits.

Meanwhile, the task of dragging the

bodies swept down by the tide, it being
believed that the strong current in the
