Los Angeles, Calif-Under the slim
illus of rewards aggregating 100000,
hundreds of men, policemen and pri-
vate citizens, here and in all coast
cities, are searching for clues that
may lead to the arrest of the band OF
conspirators held responsible for the
blowing up of the Times building last
Saturday, and the attempted destruc-
ton of the homes of General Harrison
Gray Otis and F. j. Zeehandelaar, Sec
rotary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association.
Police and civil officers believe
there were at least three men con-
cerned in the outrage and the city
has placed price of $4,000 upon the
head of each. The county today voted
an additional reward Of $4,000 for
every man captured and convicted,
and the Merchants and Manufacture
ers' association decided to offer a re-
ward of $4,000.
The entire city has been thoroughly
aroused. All classes are working to
bring to justice the dynamiters. One
newspaper that has been friendly to
labor printed a first page editorial to-
day demanding that strikes now in
progress be called off in view of the
structures directed at the unions In
connection with the explosion. The
state federation of labor, which met in
convention here today, probably will
take action tomorrow looking to-
ward the appointment Of Investigators
| to work in conjunction with the COM
mittee named by the city officials.

hunt for the conspirators. Clues with
