tician in the Department of Agriculture
Edwin s. Holmes. jr, today, before JUS
tice Gould In Criminal Court No. 1, with
drew his demurrer to the indictments re-
turned against him in 1905 in connection
with the cotton leak" Justice Gould
took similar action as in the case OF
Moses Haas Of New York and Frederick
A. Peckham of Cincinnati last Friday
and imposed only a fine Of 5000. which
was paid.
The action of Holmes today closed the
cotton leak" matter in the local courts.
There Is still pending an indictment In
New York against Theodore H. Price,
known as the cotton king. who escaped
punishment in this jurisdiction on a plea
in abatement, in which he pointed but
that the presence of federal employe on
the grand jury vitiated The indictment.
Price will probably go free. although
the Department of Justice declines to
known, however, that when Price was
arrested on the indictment returned In
Washington II was agreed between coun-
sci that the New York charge would
stand or fall with the result Of his trial
in this Jurisdiction. AS the government
lost out here 1t is expected counsel for
Price will try to hold the prosecution to
that agreement and the charge in New
York may be dropped.
Accompanied by Son.
Holmes was accompanied to court this
morning by. his counsel. A. s. Worthing-
ton and w. E. Lester, and his son. Spe-
cial Assistant Attorney General Adkins
appeared for the government and told
Justice Gould that the Department of
Justice would recommend fine as In
the case of Haas and Peckham.
When asked if he had anything to say,
Holmes remarked: 'I have already given
my testimony at the trial. That testi-
mony was true, but on advice OF counsel
have taken this action.
After he had paid his fine, Holmes CIV
ing further reason for his plea, stated
that there were two indictments pending
against him in New York; that though
he was advised that his demurrer to the
Indictment here was good, nevertheless
he would be called upon to face the two
indictments in New York alone, the other
two defendants having elected to pay
their fines and the expenses In New
York would be SO great that he would be
utterly unable to bear them.
Once Tried for Conspiracy.
Holmes was once tried on the charge
Of conspiracy with Haas and Peckham,
but the jury disagreed. The case was
not retired because of the new indict-
ments returned in 1908 and the litigation
involved, which recently resulted in the
Quashing of those charges.
The government today nolle pressed an
other indictment against Holmes growing
out of the same matter. This disposes
Of all charges pending against him.

sible the bodies of the people who
had lost their lives in the disaster.
The work Of clearing the wreck
age was carefully inspected and re-
viewed by the various members OF
your committee, with a view or
noting whatever evidence of the
cause of the disaster might be re-
vealed by the condition of the
structural portions of the building,
or any other thing that might give
index to the cause.
The testimony of eye-witnesses
was also sought and taken and
diligence was used to run down all
the rumors that might in any way
throw light on tha subject.
LOCATE EXPLOSION
It early became evident in our
explorations that the cause Of the
disaster was due to some highly
explosive force, having q definite,
limited position. AS the debris was
removed this became more and
more evident, until finally the local
ity of the primary explosion has
been satisfactorily and definitely
located by evidences that are COM
plete and convincing. From these
GYlueuCeS
pIosive used was one of high power,
such as nitro-glycerine or a product
of nitro -glycerine, and was located
at the time of its explosion in the
decked passageway or alley running
easterly from Broadway on a level
with the street and over the base
ment used by the Times-Mirror
company as a PRESS room. The
position of this explosive was at a
point about thirty to forty feet
from the Broadway street line and
close to the northerly wall of said
passageway or alley above de-
scribed.

ROGERS ASSERTS CASE
IS NEAR PROSECUTION
Attorney Returns from Investiga'
ton of Times Disaster-SayS
AIibi Proof Is Impossible

Earl Rogers, attorney for the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
returned from San Francisco to Los
Angeles yesterday. Detectives George
Home and James MacNamara of the
detective bureau of the police depart
ment returned with Rogers.
There never was a dynamiting
case, and there have been ffty-eight
or sixty, in the history of criminal
Jurisprudence which was so near a
prosecution as the one we are investi-
gating," he said, when asked for new
developments in the case. The San
Francisco end of the investigation, so
far as the prosecution of the men
goes, is finished, and I defy anyone
to break the case when the men are
taken into custody. 1t will be impos-
sible for the men to prove an alibi. We
examined hundreds of witnesses dur
ing our stay there, and 1 feel satisfied
over the work we accomplished there,
which is more than one person can
imagine.
"Further than that, can say moth
ing. Anything which I might say
would be detrtme ntal to the investiga-
ton. / expect to remain here over
Sunday"
Rogers refused to discuss the case
further and refused to answer any
questions put to him concerning the
present whereabouts of the men or the
possibilities of experimenting them.
Detectives Home and MacNamara
refused to discuss their movements
while in the northern city. Detective
Charles Jones did not return to Los
Angeles with the rest Of the party,
and is thought to have stayed in San
Francisco on some clew.

TAKE EIGHTEENTH BODY
FROM RUINS OF TIMES
Believe Don E. Johnson Preparing
to Change Clothes When
Explosion Occurred

One more body, making a total OF
eighteen, was recovered from the
Times ruins yesterday. 1t was iden-
tiged as that of Don E. Johnson, 36
years old, who was a linotype oper-
ator. The body was found under a
press in the rear of the building. II
was Identified by pair of green socks
The body was found directly under
where a dressing room was situated on
the second floor of the building. From
all indications Johnson was preparing
to change his clothes when the explo-
sion occurred. The body was removed
to Bresee Bros morgue and will be
buried with the other victims of the
Times disaster whose bodies have been
recovered.
The work of clearing away the de-
bris progressed rapidly yesterday, and
if was thought that the remaining six
bodies believed to be in the ruins would
be recovered during the day, but the
BODY of Johnson was the only one re-
covered. Several bodies are thought
to be near a sort of middle wall which
extends at right angles to Broadway.
A part of this wall has toppled over
itno the basement, and considerable
debris will have to be taken away
before the bodies will be reached.
Although a week has passed since
the disaster, during which time men
have been working steadily searching
for the bodies and clearing away the
debris, 1t was stated yesterday that
several days would elapse before the
ruins are cleaned UP thoroughly.

Identical with that reproduced in the

CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-The start of the
