They We're sOldered to Dynamite Bomb
Clocks and We're Identical.
Los ANGELES. April 23.-Bits Of brass
soldered to the backs Of two small alarm
clocks gave William j. Burns his first
clue in his pursuit Of the men accused
OF having blown up the building Of the
Los Angeles Times in this city on the
morning Of October 1 last and causing
the death OF twenty -one employees of that
paper.
Two abortive attempts TO explode in
fernal machines. one in Peoria. ILL.,. the
other here. made possible the comparison
which had such important results for the
detective.
The frst Internal machine was found
after an explosion among some steel
girders in the foundry Of 4. Louis 4
Sons in Peoria on September 4. 1910
Some fault in the mechanism caused
the clockwork to fail. and it pass ed into
the possession Of Burns. to whom was
entrusted the task Of finding the men
who ca used the explosion.
A few hours after the destruction Of
the Times building in this city two more
Internal machines were found-one at
the home of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis
owner of the Times. and the other a t
the home Of F. J. Zeehandelaar. secretary
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
| Association.
The device found at the home of Gen.
Otis was in a suit case. and it exploded
an instant after a detective who was
carrying it away from the building heard
the ticking of the clock. He narrowly
escaped death and the device was blown
to fra gments. tearing great hole in the
ground.
| The bomb at the Zeehandelaar home
was recovered intact. and when Burns
was called upon by the city to undert AXE
an investigation of the Times explosion
it was one Of the first things he examined
II looked like the mechanism found after
the Peoria explosion. and comparison
showed them TO be identical.
The Internal machine consisted OF q
small alarm clock. a dry battery and

wound up to revolve backward, Solderet
to this key was small piece of brass

similar piece on the back of the clocl

The devices on the backs OF the clock,
were the hendiwovk of the same men

SHoLY LAND conquest.
Rumored Jerusalem Will Become
Papal State.

Rumored Jerusalem Will Become
Papal State.
BERLIN, Oct 12.-Jerusalem and
the Holy Land are to be wrested from
Moslem sovereignty and presented to
the Pope as a papal state.
This startling announcement comes
direct from the Vatican from a source
credited here to be authoritative and
reliable.
The proposed peace terms between
Italy and Turkey, according to this
information, include the following:
The Holy Land will be presented to
the Pope, thus restoring to him tenn
poral power.
This will bring about a reconcilia-
ton between the Vatican and the
Quirinal, bringing to an end the self
imposed retirement of the Holy Father
since the Papal states in Italy were
seized by the Italian government.
For the first time since the days of
the crusade the cross will replace the
crescent in the land most sacred to
those protesting the Christian relig-
ion.
The armistice between Italy and
Turkey, for which German diplomacy
has been striving for some time, it is
believed here has practically been con-
cluded, although not yet announced
as Official"

AMERICANS OBSERVE
419TH ANNIVERSARY
Discovery Day Exercises at
High School, Saloons
and Banks Closed

"Discovery day." the four hundred
and nineteenth anniversary of the dis.
covery of the North American cont.
nent by Christopher Columbus, was
celebrated in almost every section OF
the city on Thursday Owing to the
actions of the last legislature, the day
has tseen set apart an i legal holiday
in this state, and government officials
bankers and saloonists observed the
occasion by closing their places OF
business. The schools also recognized
the day with appropriate exercises and
various clubs and social organizations
held special festivities in honor OF the
discoverer of America.
In the high seesihfoof,, prof. Neff gave
an interesting lecture on the trials Co.
lumbus had been forced to encounter
and of the martyrdom which he suf.
fered. The speaker told how Columbus
mad faced a situation in which all the
world thought him dreamer, and
how he had finally worked up the
support of the Spanish queen. Even
after he had been for some time on
his trip. he almost failed because OF
the mutiny of his sailors. Prof. Neff
said that the discovery of this cont.
nent was great disappointment to
Columbus, for he was seeking only a
course to the East, Indies, and up to
his death the famous Italian never
realized that his feat was possibly
the greatest event in all history.
Howard Messick, a student in the
high school, read Miller's poem en-
titled Sail Op," bit of verse de-
scriptive of the journey of Columbus
The high school orchestra had a spe-
cial program for the occasion, among
which were number of patriotic airs.
In the grade schools, short exercises
in honor of the day were held. The
teachers told the scholars about the
life of Columbus and of the work he
had accomplished for posterity.

Mr.. Able decided to look the police

see if by any chance he might be the
