FIFTY LIVES LOST
IN EXPLOSION IN
TIMES" BUILDING

- -
LOS ANGELES, October THE
greatest tragedy of the Southwest oc-
cured here this morning, when the
building Of the Times-Mirror Publish
ing Company, where the Los Angeles
Times is published, was destroyed by
an explosion, fifty lives being instantly
wiped out.
The cause of the explosion, which
occurred on the second floor, is UNI
known.
The building was Immediately wrap
ped in fire, and spectators, unable to
render aid, saw men rushing to the
windows and then falling back into the
flames, the floors cracking and opening
into fiery chasms under the great
heat.
So far as known, the death roll will
muster fifty. The entire night me-
SiiehANol lOl &c was vi uulN S6JJluS Out
the great paper and many of the edi-
torial staff, the disaster taking place
between one and two o'clock this
morning.
The presses in the basement were
already working on the Sunday paper,
but the pressmen all escaped, being
the furthest removed from the scene
of the explosion.
The Times building situated on the
corner of First street. and Broadway,
was in three stories, the first of which
contained the business offices, the sec
ond the mechanical department of the
paper and the third the editorial Off
ces.
In an annex, which was practically
the same building, although four
stories high, was situated the engrav-
ing, bookbinding, mechanical and
press rooms of the job department. The
total value of the machinery in both
buildings is put at $2696,00O, most of
which is supposed to be destroyed, as
the greater part of it was immoyable
and the fire soon beyond control
In the basement were four Hoe
presses, valued at 100000 apiece.
Thirty-two linotype machines compos
ed the machine battery on the second
floor, where ninety men were at work
at the time the explosion occurred.
The Times-Mirror Company employ
ed eight hundred men and women in
all it's departments, about one hundred
and fifty of whom were on duty at the
time of the explosion.
The Los Angeles Times, the plant of
which is entirely destroyed, was the
largest paper in size and the amount
of advertising carried, in the country,
and IS owned by Gen. Harrison Grey
Otis It has for twenty eight years
fought the labor unions in the most
bitter manner and has succeeded in
keeping Los Angeles a city of "open
shops" The union men have made
repeated threats against it and have
gone so far as to attack employees up
on leaving work.
During the last two months the
Times has been fighting the unions in
a. special campaign with a view of
driving them out of the city altogether
and the unions in turn have declared a
general strike. General Otis and his
associates are being sued for criminal
libel and before the investigation is
complete it may be/found that the eX-
plosion was caused purposely by some
of the union faction as they have
sworn vengeance against the rats"
who operate the machines.

candidates from other parties who
were willing to promise the people
anything from 100 acres of land to the
Kingdom of Heaven in order to be
elected. He stated that while nearly
all the candidates were present, it had
been decided to give up the evening
to the delegate and his friends from
Honolulu. He then introduced Col.
Sam Parker.
Col. Parker said:
"McCandless has been here with you
and, if he made the same kind of
speech here as at Aala park he told
you a whole lot of buncombe and
trash. l tried once for Delegate and
got left but had sense enough to keep
out after that. He will get left again.
He is the boss of the Democratic party
and is a good boss, for he has the
money, but remember that fool and
his money are soon parted"
He pointed to Kuhio as the man to
send to Washington. He referred to
the statement of McCandless that the
Prince had not got the breakwater as
foolish and said that he thought the
people here knew enough not to be-
lieve any such trash.
After a selection by the Kaai quin-
tet, which was received with great APP
plause, the audience insisting on an
encore, chairman Smith introduced the
speaker of the evening, Kuhio. In
doing so he paid the delegate a high
tribute for the work done by him in
the past. The delegate was introduc.
ed in Hawaiian by Rev. Desha.
Delegate Kuhio stated That it seem
ed best since McCandless had attack
ed HIM and some of his own people
semed to believe some of the bun
combe TO which he had given vent,
to speak first in Hawaiian and then to
defend himself in English. He made
a speech of considerable length in Ha-
waiian and then said.

JOHN K. SUMNER
IN PILIKIA AGAIN
MASTERS REPORT DISAPPROyE5
MOST OF Tile INVESTMENT =
MADE BY ADMINISTRATOR
GEAR.

Job Bachelor as master yesterday
afternoon presented his report re-
garding the statement submitted by
A. V. Gear as administrator of John
X. Summers estate.
Referring to an item of $1,000 in
vested by Gear with A. F. Thayer,
this was secured by a promissory
note and an agreement The terms
of the agreement were that Sumner
furnished the amount for the purpose
! of acquiring titles and deeds to the
F'riar lands in the Philippine Islands
Thayer was to make the necessary
surveys and to report to Gear as
attorney in fact for Sumner. For the
accommodation Sumner was to receive
ten per cent on the 81 900 loaned and
one-third of the profit and proceeds
of the lands.
Concerning this transaction the
Master says:
81 am unable to preceive upon what
basis A. V. Gear, attorney in fact
for John X. Sumner made this in
vestment. Upon an investigation of
said power of attorney ! fail to find
any authority given to the sal \. V.
Gear to invest. Even if the power of
attorney conferred upon A. T. Gear
the authority to invest, trust funds
should not in any case be loaned on
such uncertain security. ! can not
approve this Investment, and would
recommend that A. V. Gear be sur
charged with this item of $1,000.
The report then dealt with the sum
of $4,000 invested in the Francis
Levy Quitting Co., Ltd, The invest
ments took place previous to the in
corporation of the company, and the
stock was issued to Sumner. Before
the Master, Gear testified that Sum
ner knew of the investment, and that
the company was incorporated for
$50 600; he added that with the $4,000
from Sumner stock amounting to
$4,000 or $4,000 had been issued. The
Master said that he could not approve
of trust funds being invested in such
enterprises, and, therefore, he recon-
mended that Gear be surcharged the
amount of $4,000
The sum of $685. was advanced to
a James Kirkland on a promissory
note endorsed by Charles Girdler, and
due on June IL, last. There had been
a payment of S2O5.55 on the note,
leaving a balance of $42945 at the
date of hearing Gear did not seem to
know much about the man kirkland.
and as the Master could not approve
of trust funds being invested in I'M
secured notes, he recommended that
Gear be surcharged with the amount
of the note therefor with interest.
With regard to the charge Of 800
for a trip to Kaula, the Master failed
to see how Gear could charge at the
rate of $50 a day for time, when be
also charged five per cent commission
for receiving $1,65O the purchase
price Of the land sold. The Master
recommended that Gear be surcharg-
ed with $40, the amount charged by
him in the account for his own
time.
The Master allowed the remainder
of the items.

though they are now trying to mend
their ways bit so as TO better Ku-
HOS chances for reelection.
Mcclellan The Boy.
"Kuhio has no influence in Washing
ton, but his secretary, Mcclellan, has"
He represented the Hilo Railroad
Co., which got all that it wanted from
Congress. That shows that Mcclellan
has more influence than Kuhio. With
regard to the appropriations for the
Pearl Harbor Notifications, which they
are giving Kuhio the credit for get
ting, that is a matter of old history,
dating as far back as 1876, when King
Kalakaua by treaty gave the United
States the use of Pearl Harbor for
Notifications. The Republicans claim
that Kuhio got the appropriations for
these forts, but the fact is that the
appropriations would have been made
in every case, because the United
States wanted the protection, and no
credit belongs to Kuhio.
The Republicans claim that what
ever Kuhio asks in Washington will be
granted. He has been a delegate for
eight years, and he asked for $25O,O0O
for the Queen, and he has not gotten
it. Does that prove his influence? The
Democrats in their platform have pro-
vided for their support of the claim of
the Queen. The Republicans have not
done so.
"The Republicans are importing inn
migrants, and under their land law
these can get lands as soon as they
land here. The land is reserved for
the newcomers, while the claims of
the Hawaiians are being held up in
order to keep the public lands for the
malihinis. If you want more immi.
grants, support the Republicans; if
not, support the Democrats"

The girl, now anxious to escape the
