PUBLIC EAGER FOR NEWS
OF THE TIMES TRAGEDY

Interest in the developments
following the dynamiting of
the Los Angeles Times office
was so intense yesterday that
the entire morning edition of
The Herald was exhausted by
8 a. m, and this despite the
fact that many thousands of
extra papers had been printed.
So great was the demand for
news of the search for bodies
and the efforts being made to
capture the fiends who perpe-
trated the outrage >that The
Herald published at 7 o'clock
last evening an EXTRA edition,
filed with news of the disaster.
This edition was sold before 10
o'clock last night.

MAYOR RAISES REWARD
FOR CRIMINALS TO 10000
City Executive Says Officers Are
Bending Every Effort to
Solve Mystery

Mayor Alexander yesterday noon
raised the reward offered by the city
for the apprehension of those guilty of
causing the Times disaster from $2500
to $4,000. The mayor made this raise
in the reward offered after considering
all phases of the case, having come to
the conclusion that anyone connected
with such a crime would not be
tempted to reveal details by the sum
first offered. 1t is hoped that the
added amount will prove alluring
enough to make some one of those
connected with the affair confess. No
promise of protection for turning
states evidence is held out, however.
MAYOR AND CHIEF ACTIVE
The city officials are doing all in
their power to unravel the mystery,
Mayor Alexander and Chief of Police
Galloway having spent the entire day
yesterday directing the work of
possible clews. Just what is being
done they would not reveal last even
ing, except to state that unusual
emergency action is being taken.
ITO tell whae we are doing would
be utter folly Just at present" the
mayor said last evening at the Alex
andria, especially as nearly all our
moves so far have been of a secret
nature. To publish our plans would
undoubtedly warn those for whom we
are searching of their danger and re-
suit in their escape.
EVIDENCES OF DYNAMITE
From all appearances the Times
building was wrecked by dynamite,
and such is the general opinion. Every
clew, even the slightest and most re-
mote, is being run down.
1.-THE money appropriated by the city
council to aid in unearthing the per-
sons responsible for the terrible AFFAIR
is being used we believe, to the best
advantage"

$40 PLACER GOLD
EXC|TES N0GALES
Los Angeles Man Stakes Claim
Brings Glowing Tale from
Arizona Town

Rich strikes of placer gold in and
around Nogales, Ariz., recently made
have set that town and surrounding
district in a state Of frenzied excite
ment. So says A. Ernest Garcia, 51S
South Los Angeles street, who arrived
from the border town yesterday.
"I am surprised that Los Angeles
has rot beard about the strike" said
Garcia last nigth. "It is the principal
subject of conversation throughout
the southern part of Arizona just now,
and many are rushing to Nogales by
train and automobile. I staked out a
claim before came away"
1t is said that samples taken at
random on the surfaces when tested
give values of from $40 to $155 in gold
per ton. These values represent dirt
tested east, west, north and sonth of
the town within a radius of probably
a mile.
The excitement following the strike
has caused everybody, from govern
ment officials stationed there to eMex-
lean laborers, to take up claims.
The discovery was brought about in a
queer manner, according to Mr.. Garcia.
AS the story goes, Alphonse Bachelor,
an old-timer, once saved a Papago
Indians life and the Indian never for
got his benefactor.
On his dying bed, as last request,
he asked his son to find Bachelor and
show him where the riches of the tribe
Law at the white mans feet.
The Papago tribe inhabited at one
time all OF southern Arizona and north
ern Sonora, and 1t had often been told
that they had washed gold from the
dirt of what is now the Nogales town
site, but no credence was given to the
story by the white men who settled
in the district. With the arrival of
the white men the Indians retreated
southwark to the Altar district in So
nora.
Bachelor, with several friends, ac-
companied the Papagos son to the To-
cation of the ground that the dying
Papago had told his son contained i'm
mense riches. Here they staked out
claims, which was noticed by the COM
munity and led to every one testing
the dirt, resulting in a general stalking.
The investigation by expert mining
men that followed definitely settled
the richness of the strike, asserts Gar
cia, and now mining men from all
over Arizona are flocking into Nogales
and the population of the town is
growing with every incoming train.
Conservative mining men who have
arrived in the town, it is understood,
have estimated that the claims will av-
erage $11 to the ton in gold, which will
give a wide margin of profit in the
operations computed at 81 per ton.

PRISON CONGRESS OPENS
INTERNATIONAL SESSION
Thirty-Five Foreign Countries
Represented by Delegates

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-With dele
gates from thirty-nine foreign coun-
tries present, the International Prison
congress assembled here today with
much form and ceremony.
Attorney General Wickersham ad-
dressed the delegates on the progress
toward the prevention of crime made
in this country since the last con-
gress in Budapest in 1905.
That the police often were too hasty
about putting persons in jails was as
serted by Charles r. Henderson, pro-
fessor of sociology at Chicago uni
versity, during his opening address
as president of the congress.
The attorney general in his address
declared that modern legislation sought
not simply to deter by making an
example of offenders, but by convinc-
ing the offenders Of the wisdom of
obeying the law restore him to a use

MARRIAGE $500 YEARS OLD

Most of us make the acquaintance of Egypt
in the splendidly dramatic story of Joseph and
his brethren, and so come to look on Pharaoh
and his people as gloomy and malign persecu.
tors, fit only to be swallowed up in the Red
sea waves, writes Charles Johnson in Har.
per's Weekly. Or we read of the graves and
sober monuments of the Nile valley, with
their perpetual reminders of death and tho
kingdom of night, with the result that we are
hardly prepared to realize the gay and light
some side of ancient Egyptian life or to credit
the thought that these tomb builders could
ever break into a smile. But there was a
finding that so many of our deeper and
more philosophical thoughts go back to the
people of the Delta, SO are beginning to
discover the originals of all our Jokes in the
buried cities of the Nile
That ladies were not unduy oppressed IN
the land of the Pharaohs we may gather from
this marriage contract from fourth century
Demotic manuscript:
81" says the lady Isis, take thee as my
husband Thou makest me thy wife and CIV
est me in token of dover ffvetenths of silver
If discharge thee as my husband, hating thee
and loving another more than thee, I shall
give and return to thee two and haf-tenths
of silver, of which thou gavest me as my dow
er; and cede unto thee of all and everything
that / shall acquire with thee, onethird part,
as long as thou art married unto me-"
Not even Chicago or Reno can boast of q
franker contract than that, and there is some
thing wonderfully naive in the idea of the
good lady Isis "discharging" her lord on the
ground that she hates him and loves another
better. The sum she returns him, as part of
her now Cancelled DOVER is about equal to a
silver dollar

priest, but awaking Alende, both sought the
room of Hidalgo, who Immediately arose and
exclaimed Gentlemen, we are lost; there is
now no other recourse but to attack the Span
iards." To which Albania replied: "Sir, what
are you going to do? For the love of God,
what is to be done?" After this several hours
were spent in vain discussion Hidalgo now
showed his greatness. He did not think of
flight, although on account of his sacred pro-
fession he could easily have found safety. But
he preferred to fight for his principles and his
convictions. Knowing full well that his COM
panions were in prison and the thread of the
revolution had been snapped, without troops,
without arms, he preferred to face almost GER
tain death, remembering his warning to AL
lende, that seldom the originators of such
undertakings enjoyed the fruits of their efforts.
Hidalgo then, with his brother, Allende,
Albania and eleven other men left his house
fully armed and proceeded to the Jail, and,
threatening the mayor with his pistol, demand
ed the release of his felow-conspirators His
demands having been complied with, he now
had 80 men, whom he armed with the swords
of the soldiers of the regiment of the queen
which were delivered to Sergeant Martinez

was taken without resistance, and many Span
iards were made prisoners. Then proceeding
to San Miguel ell Grande, he surprised the
garrison and obtained arms and money Mean
while his march through the villages had aug
mented his ranks with people of all classes,
principally Indians with machetes. He had
found at one place an image of the Virgin of
Guadalupe which was attached to lance
and borne aloft as the future banner of the
revolution. while the battle cry became Long

On September 81 the insurgents marched
through Chamacuero and entered Celaya, sack
ing the houses of the Spaniards and securing
such money and arms they could lay their
hands on Here Hidalgo was proclaimed gen.
eral by congress ,of the people, and Alende
was placed second in command.
Hidalgo then set out for Guanajuato with
about $4,000 men, and when he reached the
city he found that the Spaniards had taken
refuge in large and strong building which
= had been used as granary. Here the royal
lists had brought the government treasury and
their private wealth, fortifying themselves as
best they could. After bloody conflict the
place was finally stormed and taken and most

of the inhabitants put to the sword. The
houses of the city were pillaged and the de-
struction of property was general Although
Hidalgo issued an edict and attached grave
penalties for the offenders, he was powerless
to prevent the excuses committed by the un-
disciplined masses. After order had been,
finally restored Hidalgo turned his attention
to the manufacture of cannon for his troops
and the minting of the silver bars, from the
many mines in that vicinity, which had been
captured in the city.
Meanwhile the government prepared to
combat the revolution and through the medi-
UNI Of the church sought to gain control over
the minds of the lower classes, an edict of ex-
communication being issued by the the bishop
of Michoacan against Hidalgo, Allende and Al
DANA To counterfeit the effect of this the
minds of the people, Hidalgo published an an
swer declaring his firm adherence to the doc
trines of the Catholic faith and calling upon
all to resist their oppressors.
On the eighth Of October Hidalgo COM
menced his march to Valladolid, intending at
first to attack Queretaro. Hearing of his COM
ing, the authorities of Valladolid deserted the
city and the army of insurgents received
by the citizens with great ovation.
On October 10 Hidalgo marched toward
Mexico City and was met at Las Cruces by
the royalist forces under command of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Trujillo, who surrounded by
the insurgents and forced to cut his way
through the enemy's rear and retreat to Mex
leo City The battle cost Hidalgo about 1000
in killed and wounded, and instead of advanc-
ing on the city he determined to retreat, being
influenced in his decision by the news that
General Calleja had left San Luis Potosi with
reinforcements. The retreating insurgents
and Calleja's forces met at Acuco; the for
mer, however, with but little fighting, contin-
ued their retreat, leaving in the field their
baggage and artillery. Hidalgo, with reduced
forces, retired to Vaadolid, while Allende
posted himself at Guanajuato and was at
tackled and badly defeated by Caleja. with
great loss in killed and wounded.
Hidalgo, meanwhile repaired to Guadala-
lara with his reorganized army and was re-
ceived with great pomp by the people of the
CITY, Here he organized form of government
with Ignacio Lopez Rayon as secretary general.
In January 1911, Hfdalgo moved from
Guadalajara with the largest army that was
ever under his command meeting the much
smaller force Of the enemy under Calleja at
the bridge of Calderon, about 80 miles from
the city. The defeat of the royalists was
turned into victory by series of misfortunes,
