Los Angeles Is Thoroughly Aroused By Destruction
 of Times Building
CLEWS IN SAN FRANCISCO
 MAY LEAD ID ARRESTS
in Los Angeles and All Big Build ings Are We'll Guarded By
 the City Force

Los Angeles, October 3.-Under the stimulus of proffered rewards aggregat- Ing S100000, hundreds of private citizens here and in all coast cities are searching for clews that may lead to the arrest of the conspirators responsible for the blow ing up of the Times building last Satur- day and the attempted destruction of the homes of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis and F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association.
 Police and civil officials believe that at least three men were concerned in the outrage, which cost the lives of more than score of Times employees lives, and the city has placed a price of s10 900 upon the head of each. The county to- day voted an additional reward of s5OOO for every man captured and convicted. and on top of all, members of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association decided to offer reward of s5O0O0.
 Twenty-Five thousand of this amount already has been subscribed. The rest, it Is predicted, will be contributed tomor- row.
 Upon the assumption that at least three men were responsible for the explosion, the combined offers of rewards thus far approximate $10000O. The entire city has been thoroughly aroused. One newspa- per that has been friendly to union labor printed a first-page editorial today, de- manding that in view of the strictures directed at the unions in connection with the explosion, the strikes now on be called off.
 Labor Leaders VIII Aid
 The state federation of labor, which met in convention here, probably will take action tomorrow looking toward the int ,a,,f of ticrof fnrc hn uyf1 work in connection with the committee named by the officials.
 Chief of Police Galloway sid today he expected to have one or all of the con- spirators In custody within a few hours and later he stated that he expected news from San Francisco, whence has come the most promising clew so far devel- oped.
 William J. Burns, former head of the detective force engaged in the graft cases in San Francisco, is at work to- night in that city with Los Angeles de- tectives, who were sent north upon re- ceipt of notification that the dynamite believed to have been the same as that found in the bomb, and the Zeehandelaar home, had been purchased near San Francisco by men named Leonard, Bry- son and Morris. Burns and the other de- tectives, with Attorney Earl Rogers and powder expert, left for San Francisco last night. after reports concerning Leon ard, Bryson and Morris were received.
 Forty New Patro1men
 Forty additional patrolmen were or dered enrolled here by the council. which met in special session today. Ten addi- tional sergeants and another lieutenant will also be authorized. These men are TOW being enrolled and placed on guard about places where the strike troubles recently were. Two iron foundries, the obi rd at exandria Hotel annex, now in course Of construction and several other large steel buildings are heavily guarded.
 Gen. Harrison Gray Otis. editor of the Times, is protected by a bodyguard, both in and out of his office. The branch of- flee that houses the editorial and bus iness departments of the Times, with lhe auxiliary plant where the paper is print ed, is heavily guarded by plain clothes men and patrolmen.
 The offers of enormous rewards have enlisted hundreds in the search for the conspirators. Clews without number, coming from as far north as Seattle, and various points in California, have been pouring into the police department and all day the entire detective force, with a number of private detectives engaged by the Merchants and Manufacturers asso- ciation, have been running them down.
 CIews Not Promising
 One clew that appeared for time very promising came from Portland. lnforma- tion said to have been furnished In that city sent detectives out to bring in ex- employees of the Times, but the address riven could not be found either in the City or it's environs Another report from San Francisco, that Bryson, one of the men alleged to have purchased the dyna- mite. was running a launch out of San Pedro harbor, could not be verified.
 Other clews are being investigated to- night and in compliance with orders Xfrom the chief of police that every one , Railing in the police classification "unde- sfairable and desirous should be taken in, more arrests are being made hourly. These arrests, however, are regarded as merely perfunctory.
 General Otis and Harry Chandler. as- sistant general manager of the Times, are making arrangements for holding one funeral service for the victims of the dis astef, while a committee appointed today consisting of the editors and managers of oil the papers in the city, are gathering . fund to relieve the families of the vic tims.
 The funeral of Churchill Harvey Elder night editor of the Times. who died of his injuries a few hours after the ex- plosion and fire, will be held tomorrow General Otis plans to have the remains of the dead who it has been found tmpos- sible to identify inferred in his private plot at Hollywood.
 'If the families of the men don't ob' feet will have them inferred in ont grave" said General Otis, "and we will raise a monument to their memory, which will bear the names of all.'
 CorOner's Jury Formed
 Coroner Hartwell empaneled jury to- day to begin the inquest, but after taking the nine members over the ruins of ths Times building announced that nothing further would be done until the investi gation committee appointed by the mayor \ , and chief of police is ready to report. \, The explosion and the subsequent find ing of bombs at the homes of Genera Otis and MT. Zeehandelaar has resulted in the perpetration of hoaxes that alarmed one entire neighborhood. and that caused panic at the Llewellyr \ Iron works. in the north end of the city A boy found 2 box containing clock ->--------'------
