Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 3.-The build.

Times, of which General Harrison
Gray Otis is editor and principal own
er, was destroyed by an explosion and
fire, resulting in the death Of upward
Of twenty Of Its employees and a
financial loss of nearly 100000.
The management places the respon-
slbility for the explosion on the labor
unions, with which the paper has-1ong
been engaged in bitter warfare.
"There is 10 doubt that this outrage
can be laid at the doors of the labor
unions," said Harry Chandler, assist
ant general manager. '"They have de-
stroyed the building and plant and
have killed a number of u men, but
they can't kill the Times.
"There is no doubt that the explo-
sion was caused by a charge of dyna-
mite placed apparently in the little
blind alley in the center Of the build
ing"
Labor union officials say they will
demand a searching investigation and
that IT win prove that the disaster
was due to careiessness and lack of

New York, Oct 3-The following
story is published by the New York
World:
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, who claims
that he discovered the north pole and
not Commander Peary, has been To-
Gated as living in a secluded hotel in
the west end of London. He declares
he was so broken physically that he
had to go away to save his life.
DIR. Cook said that his future plans

ent an deliberately complete story of
all his adventures and experiences, of
all the Incidents Of his travel. He
evidently intends putting them forth
In the dignified manner of a book, a
permanent form that would either take
a place beside the life history of the
martyr Dreyfus or beside the immor-
tai biography of that gorgeous liar
Benvenuto Cellini.
He declared that he would return to
the United States and rout his adverse
critics.
Voluntarily then DIR. Cook swung
into adfscussion of his future plans,
finging the gauntlet down to Peary
and the scientists who Joined to make
