MoRE BOMBS DISCOVERED.
Plot to Wreck Home of Editor-in-
Chief Found in Time.


Los Angeles Following the explos-
ion and fire which destroyed the Times
building, with the almost certain loss
of 10 lives and injury to more than q
score of others, the finding of a dyna-
mite bomb under the residence of F. j.
Zeehandelaar, secretary of the Mer-
chants & Manufacturers association,
and another late in the day under the
window of the residence of General
Harrison Gray Otis, editor-in-chief OF
the Times, kept this city in ferment
of excitement and made the day one of
sensational and tragic events.
Within a minute after the explosion
in the Times office the instantaneous
ignition of gas from the pipes through
the building caused flames to dart
from hundred windows and leap far
above the roof. Its force was great
est in the heart of the building direct
ly under the composing room. The
men working there were thrown to the
ground and the linotype machines tum-
bled over like house of cards.
There were lis employees in the
building at the time, half hundred
others having left within a half hour
before with the winding up of the work
of the first edition. The scenes that
followed were indescribable. Men cut
off from ordinary exits by flames dart
ing from every side, rushed hither and
thither looking for means of escape
and were forced finally to jump from
second and third story windows.

SAILORS DROWNED
WaPships Men Perish When Over
loaded Boat Sinks.
Party of About 90 Jolly Tars Return
ing From Shore Leave Meet
Disaster.

New York-Over a score of sailors
from the battleship New Hampshire
are believed to have lost their lives by
drowning when the tender, loaded with
80 or 90 men, whose shore leave had
expired, was swamped or upset in the
Hudson river about $50 feet from tie
West 118th street dock.
Midshipman Godfrey de Chevalier,
who had charge of the tender, was
taken from the water unconscious and
is in the ships hospital. 1t is report
ed that he saved Is sailors before ex-
haustion overcame him.
When the deeply laden tender set
out from the shore, towed by launch,
there was strong wind blowing across
the river and kicking up choppy waves.
The sailors were singing and joking
at the top of their voices, when the
craft struck large wave, dumping a
great quantity of water into the boat.
Another wave threw water over the
gunwales.
Seeing that the boat was sinking,
some of the sailors sprang overheard.
The fellows first overheard made the.
jump, as one sailor explained, because
they were expert swimmers, and got
out hoping to Tighten the cutter.
Their jump was made at the behest of
a heavy-voiced sailor, who shouted
"Every man who is good swimmer
jump out"
A moment more and the cutter was,
awash, with her load of jackies strug-
Cling in the water. Some clung to the
logged craft, strong swimmers
gave hand to the weaker ones, while
dozens shouted the familiar call: MAN

the New Hampshire, and the steam
launch put out to the rescue.
The launch rendered valuable assis-
tance, and reinforced by nearby pow
er boat, which chanced to be on the
scene, every man in sight was taken
out of the water Whenever a bob.
bing head showed, man was rescued.
But in the darkness several sank, and
others were almost unconscious when
dragged to safety.
On board the New Hampshire 81

UNION cULPABILITY DENIED.
Strike Committee Gives Statement
Deploring Loss of Life.

Strike Committee Gives Statement
Deploring Loss of Life.
Los Angeles-The strike committee
of the metal trades, members of which
have been on strike for some months,
issued the following statement:
"The union labor men in Los An
geles deplore deeply the loss of life
and injury in the explosion and fire at
the Times plant. The unions declare
that the statement in the Times that
the explosion was caused by some per-
son or persons connected with organ
lied labor here or elsewhere is false.
Ever since the beginning of union labor
here, violence of every sort has been
condemned in public and private. No
union man has been permitted to COM
NIT any act of violence, be it ever so
lights, nor have the unions failed rig
orously to demand that their members
obey the laws.
"We believe that success can only be
won by peaceful reasoning and show
ing the Iaboring man his rights and
duties.
"We therefore deny unequivocally
that the unions or any union man in
our knowledge had anything TO do with
any violence against the Times en-
ployes or property.
"We stand ready and willing to do
all. in our power to aid in thorough
investigation of the explosion.

PINcHoT STORM BREAKS.
Attacks Upon Him Cheered by Min
ing Congress.


ing Congress.
Los Angeles = The long expected
storm against Pinchot and his policy of
conservation broke in full force at the
American Mining congress here.
Socialist" Dreamer, "Honest
but impractical" were some of the
terms hurled at the head of the de-
posed forester.
The lone defender of Pinchot, S. C.
Graham, a local oil operator, delivered
his defense in absolute silence and
when he finished with a fervid burst of
oratory there was not sound of ap-
plause.
Ed. F. Browne. of Aspen, Colo,
started the expression of disfavor to
Pinchot by presenting resolution de-
claring that the withdrawal of all coal
lands from entry in the Western states
and can ill-considered law attempting
to segregate the coal beneath from the
surface rights" would destroy the
great mining interests of the country
and the proposition to lease the min
eral lands sis rank Socialism adopted
from the laws of New Zealand and
Australia, and this man who advocates
the action is Socialist"
Representative Smith, of Bakers
field, iercely attacked "over-lordism
by the Federal government as to
natural resources. He was cheered
to the echo.
Ex-Representative C. A. Barlow, of
Bakersfield, attacked Pinchot and his
policies.
"Pinchot is good man but
thoroughly impractical as to oil, /" he
declared. The delegates shouted ap-
plause. Barlow said Pinchot's ideas
led to the United States fixing the
price of oil and would abrogate the
laws of demand and supply and would
end our government.
T. A. O'Donnell, Los Angeles oil
operator, declared himself anti-Pin-
chot.
"Pinchot is honest but misguided"
he said. ~ favor the oil mems associ-
ating with the congress and the pass
ing of some resolution of natural re-

and financially interested in a New

permitted to take away her baggage
when she arrived from Europe in the
Kaiserin Auguste Victoria. She de-

worth $500, but the customs inspectors
insisted on complete appraisement of

EARTH SHAKES; SETTLERS FLEE
Volcanic Disturbances Destroy Homes
and Frighten People.


Flagstaff, z.-Remarkabl earth
disturbances continue north of Flag
staff extending through to the grand
canyon. ]. P. Chaves, we'll known
stockman, brought in his family, and
others have followed since, all very
much alarmed; Chaves' adobe house
was shaken from its foundation, the
corner cracked, and the chimney top
Piled off.
Lava stones weighing many tons
were torn from the lava bed and
crashed down the mountainside. Only
a few stockmen live in that section.
Those who have come in refuse to 60
back.
The rumblings seem to come from
the direction of the grand canyon and
cover an area of 40 or so miles along
the mountains. The earth tremors
have been continuous since Saturday,
and occasionally with much violence.
Both whites and Indians have fled from
the region.
There are more than 80 old volcano
craters in the section, but so far as
known none have shown any sign of
activity. The phenomena are believed
to be due to faults in the earth's crust,
which is slipping. The whole country
is of volcanic origin. No alarm is felt
in Flagstaff.

Redmond Lying southeast of this
place, on what is known locally as
the "high plains," is vast wheat sec

homesteaders. 1t was only during the
past year that this land attracted at
tention, but many claims have been
filed upon and their development is
under way. v. Schrauder, one of the
first to move onto this land, reports
that in Hampton valley there are 40
houses and tents. Hundreds of acres
have been plowed and cleared, miles
of fence built and dozens of wells dug,
striking fine water in each intsance at
a depth of only few feet.
The settlers have taken steps to
build school house, as there are 26
school children in the. valley. A petit
tion has been circulated and literally
signed, asking for the establishment
of postoffice. This section is open
to filing under the 32O-acre homestead
act, and will likely be tapped by the
proposed Hill railroad, which it is be-
lieved will branch from the Oregon
Trunk at Bend and extend in a south
easterly direction across the state,
passing through the heart of "high

Course of Races.
Long Island Motor Parkway, New
York-Four dead and 10 seriously in
jured-three probably fatally-was the
price in human flesh paid for the run
ming of the sixth Vanderbilt cup race,
won by Harry Grant, driving 100
horsepower Alec machine.
The race was the most closely con-
tested of any of the Vanderbilt races,
and with the two small-car events run
ming as unit with it brought out a
record number of starters.
The time for the first three cars to
finish in the main event exceeded the
best time ever made in an American
road race. Grant, by covering the
278.S0 miles of the course in four
hours, IL minutes and So seconds
equivalent to an average of 65.15
miles an hour established a new
American record.
Brilliant as was the performance of
the three winners and thrilling as was
the race itself, the horror caused by
the wholesale manning and killing
which attended it, cast such deep
shadow over spectators, participants
and management that the crowd dis
persed under. pail of sororw.
Yet Notwithstanding the list of cas-
ualties, it was announced that the
grand prize race over the same course
would be iheld October Is. Fifteen
cars have already been entered for the
event.
