Investigation today shows that De-

Following the explosion 1t was widely
published that 100000 would be
paid for the capture of the dynamit-
ers. The Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association offered 100000
alone. The association will not pay
this, according to F. J. zeehandelaar,

"The reward reported to have been
offered by our association never was
made officially" said ZeehandelaNr.
Then the association has no re-

Zeehandelaar was asked.
Not a cent" he replied.
The city council of Los Angeles

A Long Decision.

Portland, Ore., April 24.-As the
result of Federal Judge Wolverton's
decision in the famous Southern Pa
eific land grant case involving 81
500, 900 of land in Southern and
Western Oregon, valued at $75,000,-
900, proceeded in court this forenoon
indications were that his decision
would be against the railroad COM
pany and the 65 settlers who claimed
right to the land from the railroad
company.
Railroad attorneys declared that,
in any event, the case would be car
ried to the supreme court of the
United States. Judge Wolverton be-
gan reading his decision shortly after
10 o'clock. The decision comprised
$4,000 words.
Congress Fixed Terms.
When congress gave the land grant
to the Oregon & California railroad,
since absorbed by the Southern Pa
clfic, It provided in the grant that
the company should sell 1t to actual
settlers I'M tracts not to exceed 100
acres to each settler and at price Of
not more than $3.50 an acre. This
was done with view of bringing
about a rapid settlement of Oregon.
Railroad Violated Them.
The government alleged, however.
that as much as 1000 acres Of land
was sold to single individuals, In di-
rect violation Of the contract, and the
government in September, 1908, took
action, asking for cancellation of the
patent of the tract.
Previously A. w. Laferty, now
congressman, had filed suit against
the company asking that title be CIV
en- to 65 persons, who asserted they
had settled on the tract, and had been
refused title. In its action the gov
ernment included these people in its
suit for recovery
Railroad Ignored the Law.
The suit is based upon two grants
to the Oregon & California railroad.

acres of land, valued at SIS, 900, 900,

The land Is located in Western

the line of the railroad through the
southern part Of the stete. The de-

A Detective Case Only, So Far.
Burns has been working on this
case for five months" said Captain
of Detectives Stephen Wood today.
1.-TWO men have been working for
two months. The reports of their
investigation came to me and there
is no question in my mind but that
the evidence is conclusive. The men
were professional dynamiters with
ample funds and employed by men
of considerable influence. They re-
ceived aid from many persons in all
parts Of the country. The inference
is clear.
81 had long talk with Mcnamara
and am sure he is nothing more or
less than an anarchist He talks an
archistic ideas and principles, and
believes in sabotage which is being
used by the anarchistic laborites of
Europe in the fight against their en-
ployers. Sabotage is McNamara's
constant expression. AS you know,
the wooden shoe of the French peas
ant is called sabot and they make
terrible weapon in fight. That
is the origin of sabotage The Los
Angeles authorities have all our in
formation on the case and am con-
vinced they will have no difficulty in
convicting their men,"

Lawyer Rogers In 1t.

Earl Rogers, the "lawyer-detec-
tive" who worked on the case direct
ly after the Los Angeles catastrophe,
left today for Los Angeles. Rogers
has been for three weeks in Chicago
and Indianapolis. 1t is not known
here whether he was in touch with
Burns and his operatives, but it is
believed by the police here that he
was.
Rogers was connected with the
case after General Otis and some of
the members of the Los Angeles m.
& NJ" objected to the employment OF
Burns. Rogers is said to have had
the sum of $500 per day at his dis
posal while the hunt was on.
1t developed here today that after
the Times explosion a $4,000 re-
ward was offered for information and
secrecy was promised. 1t is re-
ported that the arrests of the NC
Namaras and McManigal were caused
through someone connected with the
trio turning traitor.
Detective Woods Talks.
Chief Detective Wood, celebrating
more fully on the case, went on to
say;
Half a dozen times in the last two
months McManigal might have been
arrested, but the detectives wanted
to get him with Mcnamara, when
they had the goods. Finally they
succeeded. When McManigal and
James W. Mcnamara were arrested
in Detroit they had with them clock
work for firing the bombs, electric
batteries fuses, automatic pistols
rifles equipped with Maxim silencers
and the soup (nitroglycerine) with
which the devastation was wrought.
Describes the Men.
Wood also furnished descriptions
of Matt Schmidt and David Caplan
the other two men wanted in the
Los Angeles explosion. He said
Schmidt was German-American
five feet 10 inches tall and weigh
ing 1870 pounds
The police here blame McNamars
for the disappearance of 200 pounds
