Los Angeles Especially The grand
jury in the Los Angeles Times ex-
plosion case returned 90 indictments
Thursday. All of the indictments
charge murder in connection with
that crime. 1t is not likely that the
names of any of the indicted will be
made public until after the arrests
have been made. 1t is believed a
large number of San Franciscoans
have been indicted
Wholesale murder, the outcome of
a dynamite plot, is understood to be
the charges set forth in all the indict-
ments, but it is believed that not
more than three or four men are
named in the true bills.
The return of the indictments was
a sequel of disaster that excited the
people of Los Angeles to degree
that for a few days bordered upon
panic, and resulted in the offering Of
rewards aggregating almost $780,
600.
Union labor, which the Times and
its proprietors had opposed, was in
jected into the situation, and when
the special grand jury was impaneled
on October 20 it was Immediately
confronted with two conflicting
theories.
One of these, supported by the
findings of an investigating commit
tee appointed by Mayor Alexander,
that the Times plant had been blown
up by dynamite through a conspiracy.
The other, presented by committee
named by the State Building Trade
Convention, then in session here, was
that gas explosion had caused the
wreck.
More than 40 witnesses, the ma
jority of them identified with the
union labor movement, were sum-
moned from San Francisco and 9TH
er cities. Many labor union officials
were heard. In all, the grand jury
examined more than 200 persons
who, in the opinion of detectives
working here and in San Francisco,
might throw some light on the alleg-
ed murder plot.
Among the labor leaders summon
ed from San Francisco were Olaf Il.
Tveitmoe and Anton Johanssen, who
were supposed to have been acquaint-
ed with j. B. Bryce, w. A. Schmidt
and David Kaplan, three suspects in
the case, who we're in this city for a
few hours after the explosion, but
subsequently disappeared.
According to the detectives, Bryce,
Schmidt and Kaplan were the three
who purchased from a San Francisco
dealer in powder dynamite later used
to destroy the Times. More powder
dynamite was found later in bomb
planted under the residence of Felix
]. Zeehandlaar, secretary of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
tion. This organization had opposed
the extension of labor unions in this
city.
Two days ago an additional re-
ward of S25, 900 was formally offered
by the county board of supervisors
for the capture of the trio.

Rioting At Para.
When the latter of the two recent
naval reyolts in Brazil was put down,
three weeks ago, 1t was announced
that the mutinous sailors had been
sent to states remote from Rio
Janeiro, where they would be employ
ed in the construction Of highways
and railroads. The mutineers had
surrendered, and it was officially an
nounced that the disorders were at
an end.
Since that time comparatively lit
tie news has been gotten out of the
Brazilian capital, but there have been
persistent rumors of disturbance in
the State of Para, on the north coast,
due to political dissatisfaction. Riot
Ing Is said to have occurred at Para,
but confirmation or denial from
the government are lacking.
Recently there have been two re-
volts in Brazil-one in the navy and
the other by the naval battalion in
barracks on Cobras Island, short
