THE HUNTED IS FOUND

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-The dis
 covery tonight of 500 pounds of dyna- | mite hidden in an untenanted house
 near the bay in South San Francisco threw the dectectiVes working on the
 Los Angeles Times explosion case into | new spasms of activity and cast an | inky darkness over the clues hitherto considered brilliant in promise. The dynamite was contained in ten boxes of 50 pounds each, addressed to J. B. Bryson.
 It is supposed to be the same lot
 purchased by three men from the Giant powder works on September 20. The theory that the much hunted Bryce"
 and Perry, the "squint-eyed" man, who purchased the powder and took it away in the launch Pastime, were the men responsible for the Times horror, Is ap-
 parently riddled, but the discovery opens new and highly important leads, keeps the mysterious plotters in the spot light.
 James O'Brien. the owner of the house at 1922 Nineteenth avenue, South San Francisco, where the dynamite was found. was responsible for the dis covery. It appears that on September 24 man giving the name of William Catt, who answers the description of the third man who accompanied Bryce and Perry to the Giant powder works, rented the house. ss . .a-s5- ..---.
 That night Mrs. John Fox, a neigh bor, saw two men drive up to the house in a wagon containing a load covered by two large pieces of canvas. This un- shipped, the men drove off, and have none been seen around the house since O'Brien today decided to go to the house and see who the new tenants were. He found the place empty, and in the parolr the boxes of dynamite. One box was wrapped in burlap and the whole covered with canvas The address U. B. Bryson," was plain.
 O'Brien notified the police and De tective Gibson was sent to the house. As soon as he realized the importance of the find he sent for Captain Ryan of the detective bureau, who Is a dy- namite expert. On examination the boxes were found to hold so sticks. and so pieces of gelatine.
 The order placed by Bryson called for this type of explosive. Ryan found that the dynamite was of the type that was placed near the residence of F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the merchants and manufacturers associ- ation of Los Angeles. One box that held the dynamite was manufactured by the Hercules Powder company, sit uated near the Giant works. This Hercules powder was 40 per cent gela- tine. This opens a new clue to the in vestigation.
 The house Is seven blocks from the bay and and close to Visitation Cove where the schooner Kate was seen at anchor at the time the launch Pastime was making secret trips to that part of the bay. Captain John Osterhaus. former owner of the Kate, which clear ed for Galapagos Island about the time the Pastime was cruising in the bay. was found in South San Francisco and taken to detective headuuarters and questioned.
 He refused to reveal the purpose of the Rates trip but denied that he knew anything about the dynamite in the case.
 The presence of forty per cent Her cules is confusing to the officers. They state that if Bryson ordered 500 pounds of so per cent powder which was filled by the Giant company, then some of that powder is missing Eight boxes are unopened They may contain more Hercules powder. The discovery threw the neighborhood into q panic and police guard was thrown around the house to keep out the crowds of curious.
