Los Angeles, Oct. 4.-The veil of | secrecy maintained by Chief of Police ! Galloway and all subOrdinates since the explosion which wrecked the Times plant, became thicker and more im-
 penetrable late today when q report
 came that the trail of the dynamite
 conspirators had been struck in this
 city.

 important as that which is engaging

 gation could elicit from the chief. He

 clews worthy of attention-one discov-
 cred here this afternoon and that in

The charges against Otis are contained in two warrants issued some time ago in San Francisco, but as Otis was in Mexico representing the f.F ts. the centennial celebration, they were not served.
