Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 4.-The
search for the dynamiters who de-
stroyed the Times building Saturday,
extends today from San Francisco to
San Diego and from the ocean to the
deserts of San Joaquin. The police
remain confident that the hunt in San
Francisco will prove fruitful. The
detectives heard today that the launch
Peerless, on which the conspirators
are supposed to have shipped dyna-
mite from Giant, Ca, had been traced
from San Pablo to Avita, on the San
Francisco Bay, where it was met by
an automobile, which Immediately
started south. The police are on the
trail of this automobile.
Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. A. = Under
the stimulus of proffered rewards az
gregating 100000, hundreds Of men,
policemen and private citizens here
and all along the cost cities are
searching for clews that may lead to
the arrest of the band of conspira-
tors held responsible for the blowing
up of the Times building last Satur-
day and the attempt to destroy the
homes Of General Otis and F. J. Zee
hanlar, secretary of the Merchants &
Manufacturers association.
The police and civil officials believe
that at least three men were concern
ed in the outrage which cost the lives
of more than score of Times EN-
ployes and the city has placed price
Of $4,000 upon the head of each. The
county voted an additional reward of
$4,000 for every man captured and
convicted and on top of this the mem
bers of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers association has offered a re-
ward of $4,000.
Upon the assumption that at least
three men were responsible for the
wrecking Of the Times the combined
offers of reward thus reach 100000,
a figure almost unprecedented in the
annals of criminal pursuits and indi-
cative of the determination of all
classes to hunt down and bring to jus
tice the perpetrators of the dynamite
outrage.
The entire city has been thoroughly
aroused. One of the newspapers
friendly to labor printed first page
editorial today demanding that the
strikes now in progress be called of
in view of the structures directed al
the unions in connection with the ex
plosion. The State Federation of La
Dor in convention here today probably
will take action tomorrow looking to-
wards the appointment of investiga
tors to work in conjunction with the
committee named by the city.
Chief Of Police Galloway said that
he expected to have one or all of the
bomb conspirators in custody within 9
few hours and later stated that the ex
pected news would come from Sar
Francisco, whence comes the mos
promising clew developed.
