wife Baston sent a bullet through the
rim OF his hat, according to witnesses,

THE LOS ANGELES EXPLOSION

A large force OF workmen, after dig
ging for 80 hours into the debris OF tho
Times building in Los Angeles, Cal.
wrecked by an explosion Saturday
morning, have unearthed five of the ~
bodies buried in the ruins.
The police are guarding the homes
af General Harrison Gray Otis, pro-
prietor of the Times, and OF General
Manager Harry Chandler. Guards
are also watching over the plants OF
several concerns recently involved in
strikes.
Three arrests have been made since
the explosion. One Of the suspects is an
alleged anarchist, Martin Eagan. In
the hope Of securing information as to
the perpetrators Of the outrage, Mayor
Alexander has increased the city's offer
OF reward to 10000
This together with the offers OF local
newspapers and labor organizations
whose leaders have announced n deter
mination to assist in the search for the
CRIMINALS, TdlStS tilc tOidi dhiOhh1 VI
reward to $1S, 500. The city's offer is
intended to tempt anyone having
knowledge of a dynamite conspiracy to
divulge the secret. There are no con-
ditions.
A powerful Internal machine was also
found yesterday in the residence OF
Secretary Zeehandelaar, Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
Gen. OTIS and the other responsible
heads of the Times unequlvocally
charge the Times building disaster and
the narrowly averted attempts at fur
ther destruction OF lie and property to
labor union sources.
With equal emphasis the leaders OF
union labor rcpudiate the accusation
and offer all aid in their power to de-
tect the culprits.

LOST DIAMOND NECKLACE.

A diamond necklace, valued at $685.
600, is reported missing by Mrs. Oscar
O. Turner, formerly OF Baltimore, but
now living at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Her loss, which became publicly known
only last night, was reported to Capt
Witt, of the Hamburg gAmerican liner
Deutschland, which arrived at New
York on Saturday with Mrs. Turner
among the passengers.
According to Mrs. Turner she gave
her jewels to the ships purser for safe
keeping and received them from the
ships strong box as the vessel neared
New York. Then, making an inven-
tory, she found the necklace missing.
Other jewelry and $4,000 in cash were
found intact. AS Mrs. Turner did not
examine her jewels before giving them
in bulk to the purser, she is not sure
whether the theft occurred on the vessel
or in Europe.
Capt. Witt, OF the steamer, asked
Mrs. Turner il she had examined the
level case before intrusting it with the
purser, and she said she had not. The
purser himself says he never knew the
contents OF the jewel cases unless the
owners told him.

PApAL BLESSING BESTOWED.

More than 100000 persons in Phil
adelphia received the papal blessing
from Cardinal Vincento Vannutelli,
legate of Pope Plus X, when he,
with other dignitaries Of the Roman
Catholic Church, attended the dedica-
ton of the first Greek Catholic Cath
edral in this country and the laying
of the cornerstone of the new editic
for St. Patrick's Church. The stone
which was cut from the rock on which
St. Patrick preached in Ireland, was
laid by Cardinal Logue, primate oi
Ireland, who came to this country
expressly to perform the ceremony.
Elaborate services marked both cere-
monies. At the entrance OF the new
cathedral Cardinal Vinnutelli was met
by Bishop OrtyDski, of the local do
cese, followed by retinue OF priests.
As the papal legate crossed the thresh-
old the bishop knelt before him and
offered his elaborate crozier as a
token Of obeisance to the Church OF
Rome.
Metropolitan Szeptyeki, who pre-
sided at the services, was assisted by
Archbishop Falconio and Archbishop
Ryan.
The congregations of six other
churches, including the one in the
Italian district and an African Roman
Catholic Church, were visited in the
course OF the day by Cardinal Van
nutelli. On his arrival in Philadel-
phia he was met by escorts of the
knights of the Order OF st. John and
the Knights OF Columbus.

During his address Killinbeck re-
lated this strange incident; As / finish
ed speaking in Providence, r. l., last
Wednesday evening, a preacher in the
crowd got up and denounced my speech,
saying he would preach sermon against
socialism; that its doctrines are ruinous
and teach immortality. A man IN the
audience shouted You are liar.
The preacher said he was not lying,
and holding his hand aloft, said II l
am telling an untruth l hope the
Almighty will strike me dead where |
stand. He had no sooner uttered these
words than he fell dead there on the
square. That is no joke, it occurred
last Wednesday night. The preachers $
name was Rev. George Vaughan, and
the occurrence took place in Hoyle
Square, Providence. "
