LOS ANGELES TIMES
 DYNAnnETERS ARRESTED

The entire plant and building oc- cupied by the Los Angeles Times was destroyed on October 1 by an explosion which occurred under the composing room while the morning edition was being gotten out. In all fifteen printers and newspaper men lost their lives. The building was consumed by fire after the ex- plosicn, and the property loss was in the neighborhood of S500,000 At the time it was generally believed that the outrage was the culmina- ton of the long fight which had been Waged by General Otis, the manager of the paper, and the labor unions. Others, however, believed that the explosion was caused by gas, but coroner's jury which spent more than month in the investigation of the affair, arrived at the conclu aion that it was caused by dynamite placed there for the purpose.
 special meeting of the city Coun- cil was held a few hours after the occurrence and a reward of $25 5000 was offered for the arrest of the guilty persons. This was immedi ately followed by offers Cf further reward made by number of the labor unions, by the state senate and other organizations until the total had been swelled to more than one hundred thousand dollars. A number of arrests were promptly made, but those suspected were in every in stance released after their cases had been investigated. All of the victims were buried in one grave, the flu neral services being conducted by Rev Bob Burdette, the famous ed itor preacher, and attended by many thousands.
 Four days after the explosion the case was entrusted to Detective Will liam J. Burns, and since that time he has, it is now asserted, been on the track of the men just arrested.
