way attributable to negligence on the
part of MOissant's mechanicians. They
deny the charge that the Bleriot ma

often broken and repaired and was over
weighted with gasolene when he went
up for the Michelin prize.
Hope that Grahame-White, the British
aviator, would withdraw his protest
against the awarding of the Thomas

Mitchell Says Judges
Are in Workmen's Way

NEW ROCHELLE, Jan. 9.-In the
opinion Of John Mitchell, president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
the 100000 workmen who are injured
annually would come nearer getting just
damages If one-third of the judges were
done away with and their salaries went
to pay the injured men.
Addressing an assemblage of 1000
people here yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Mitchell made it plain that he does not
regard the present system of collect
ing damages as equitable. Mr.. Mitchell
said that 100 workmen are killed daily
and manned annually is $4,000.

KNOWS WHO BLEW UP
Los ANGELES TIMES
Grand Jury Says Explosive
Was Bought At Grant,
California.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-The report
Of the grand jury which investigated
the dynamiting of the Times building
on October l, when twenty-one zNm-
ployes were killed and which recently
returned twenty-three indictments
against seven persons has been made
public. In part 1t follows:
I'VE unanimously report that there
was placed in the Times building, in
that part thereof known as Ink AL
ley,' a high power explosive in the
nature Of dynamite or itro-glycerine,
may be found by the destruction
wrought by this agency.
I'VE made exhaustive inquiry into
the explosive action Of Illuminating
gas. The possibility Of gas being the
destroying agent. the explosive force,
received full consideration. Expert
evidence and testimony of those who
have had observation of gas explo-
sions was extensively taken. Such
evidence makes the theory of explod-
ing illuminating gas not only unten-
able, but puerile. We found not one
physical fact, we heard the testimony
Of no. expert. we received the evidence
of not one witness, which made such
hypothesis possible.
'On October 26, 1910, there was pub
lished and widely circulated what
purported to be a report and findings
of a committee appointed by the State
Federation Of Labor to investigate
the catastrophe.
After a full, fair, and impartial hear
ing of the committees witnesses and of
many Others upon the subject we find
that there Is not a scintilla of evidence
upon which to base the finding of such
report, and that it was issued, as eX-
planned by its author. not as finding
Of the facts of the explosion, but as an
argument in defense of accusations.
1T tc sufficient to say that this jury
Is satisfied from the testimony that the
explosive used at the Times building
WIS a part of the nItro-gelatine pur-
chased at Grant, Cal, and that the
identity Of some at least Of the Destroy
ers of the Times building is known by
the proper authorities as well as by US,
and that In Gods good time the muir
derers will be brought to punishment
while we are satisfied from the tes-
timony that the perpetrators OF this
terrible catastrophe have been members
of labor unions and officials and organ
iZers therein, and, moreover, intimately
associated and connected with certain
leaders and high officials of labor
unions, we have had no testimony that
any labor organization as such partici-
pated in the commission Of these
crimes

 For twenty-one years. the time re- quired to make you a man, this Hines played professional ball and was aI- ways knocking at the door when they were passing out the 300 marks for the good batting boys.

NIGHT RIDER MURDERS
 FRONTERAS MERCHANT
Assassin Shoots Through Window of
 Private Office.

Manuel Y Fuentes, prominent mer- chant of Fronteras, was shot last Tues day evening by an unknown man. Mir. Fuentes was standing in his office at 19 o'clock going over his books. when the bullet came through the window behind him. hitting him in the shoul- der blade and passing through the body. The force of the charge was sufficient to drive it into the desk after 1t came out of the murdered mans body. At the time the crime was committed. the merchant was alone in his office, but clerk was sitting in the front of the store. Hearing the shot he rushed into the office and as he went. saw man on horseback dash off into the darkness toward the south. The store of Mir Flu entes is located in the open part of FrOnteras. and the assassin had no diff ficulty in making his escape. From the course the bullet took through the body it is practically certain that the mur- derer shot from horseback.
 On learning of the tragedy. the Moe tezuma Copper Company dispatched a physician to the scene of the shooting in the motor car used by the \acozari railroad. When Dr WOlley arrived about l o'clock Wednesday morning he traced the course of the bullet and found that a part of the steel packet had penetrated under the arm. MT. Flu entes. who was mOrtally wounded, re- tained consciousness during the morn ing and made q disposition of his prop erty. He was taken to the hospital at Nacozari on the morning train under the care of Dr Wolley. but nc hope was entertained for his recovery
 Mir. Fuentes was popular and con sidered neutral in the late war He was elected by the citizens of Fronteras as their representative to represent the municipality in the interest of free elections
 The only suspicion as to the assas- sin of Fuentes rests upon a rival in business.
 Mr. Fuentes was well known in Douglas and was universally respect ed H. was at one time agent of the Nacozari railroad at Fronteras. but gave up that position several years ago and since then had built up a prosper ous business.
