OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 4--Answering the
description of the launch Peerless, which
is supposed to have carried the dynamite
to blow up the Los Angeles Times building
from Giant the launch Pastime was dis
covered In Oakland harbor this morning
The police believe that the capture of the
men who hired the Pastime on Friday
September 2O will mean the arrest Of the
persons responsible for the explosion In
the southern California city.
On September 20 two men giving the
names of Bryce and Perry rented the
launch Pastlme from Douglas A. Bor-
roughs of this city. They paid $500 de-
post and are said to have paid a liberal
rental when they returned the boat on
September 26. Bryce and his companion
answer the description given the police
Of Bryson and Morris, the two men who
purchased the explosive at Giant.
The boat showed the effects of hard
usage and on the bow were the marks OF
tacks, as II a sign of metal letters had
been tackled over the name "Pastime.'
This leads the police to believe the name
Peerless was used to disguise the boat
Police Are Confident.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4.-Search for the
dynamiters who destroyed the Times build
ing last Saturday embraces today all the
country between San Francisco and San
Diego and from the ocean to the deserts OF
the San Joaquin.
While there has been no cessation in the
search for the conspirators here, the police
are more confident than ever that the hunt
in San Francisco will produce important
results.
e4essages were sent to, police and con-
stables in most of the coast and valley
towns asking for information regarding all
motor car touring parties seen travelling
southwark since September %. The police
here do not believe that the dynamite was
brought southwark in an automobile; that
would have been dangerous. They are con-
vinced that a lat nch brought the explo-
sive to some point on the coast near San
Pedro, while some of the conspirators came
south in the motor car.
The funerals of Churchill Harvey Elder
night editor of the Times and j. Wesley
Reaves, the young stenographer who met
death at his post, were held today.
The certificates of death issued by Coro'

More Missing
Sailors Report
List of Supposed Victims of Accident
in New York Harbor is
Steadily Decreasing.

NEW YORK, Oct 4.-There was still hope
today that the list of probable drowned
from the swampng of the battleship New
Hampshire's barge in the Hudson river last
Saturday night would be further reduced
by reports from men now set down as dead
or missing, but who still may be alive but
INDICATED.
Meanwhile the task of dragging the river
for bodies of the victims continued. Look
out also was kept for bodies swept down
by the tide, it being believed the strong cur
rent made the recovery of bodies floating
lower down the stream more probable than
in the vicinity of the calamity. The list
today still stands as given out by the fleet
officials as twenty-three probably dead and
eight missing.
The board Of inquiry resumed its sessions
today, when it was expected the testimony
of Midshipman Godfrey Chevalier, who was
in charge of the wrecked boat, would be
taken.
