The Los Angeles Explosion.
At the time of the explosion which
wrecked the Los Angeles Times build
ing the structural iron workers of that
city were on strike, and the Times
was unfriendly toward the workers.
The explosion occurred early in the
morning. The discovery of a time
bomb which had failed to work at
the home of F. j. Zeehanddlaar, sec
retary of the Merchants and Manu-.
facturers' association, and a reported
attempt to dynamite the auxiliary
plant of the newspaper and the find
ing and explosion of still another bomb
at the home of General Harrison Gray
Otis, editor of the Times, led to the
belief that a widespread plot existed
against the forces that had been fight
ing organized labor in Los Angeles.
A disavowal of labor union respon
sibility was made by the strike COM
mittee of the metal trades, members
of which had been on strike for some
months and between which organiZa-
ton and the Times there had been
some bitterness.
Rewards aggregating thousands of
dollars were offered for the capture o.

shrewdness achieved one of the most
important captures ever made by the
secret service
In 1903 Burns was detailed from the
treasury department to help Secretary
Hitchcock in the Oregon land frauds
This was the beginning of the associa
ton of the detective with Francis J..
Heney, the lawyer who cleaned up San
Francisco. The result of their work
was the conviction Of Senator Mitchell
Of Oregon, r. A. Hyde of San Francis
co and the rest of their gang. In this
case the knack that Burns possesses of
extorting confessions at the moment
that his resources are exhausted was
again displayed at a number of criti-
cal junctures.
Third Degree on Ruef.
Then Mr.. Heney was asked to under
take the investigation of the San Fran
cisco situation, and he brought Burns
with him. 1t was not long before the
detective found that in all the maze of
municipal corruption the most vulner-
able point was the French restaurant
scandal. He at once began a surveil-
lance of Ruef. installed one of his own
men as the boss chauffeur, put other
of his operatives into the city employ
and awaited results. One night one of
the ring talked little too freely in
his cups, and next morning Burns
knew all about it. From this he learn
ed that the supervisors were implicat-
ed in the graft as much as Ruef and
Mayor Schmitz.
Still there was no legal evidence, but
Burns got it by means Of the third de-
gree. Ruef showed signs Of wanting
to run away. and Burns had him con-
fined in the care of an elisor. From
that time on the boss found his life a
burden to him. He was never free for
a moment from the presence of one Of
Burns men. and day by day he was
piled with all kinds Of tales Of what
the detective had discovered. At
length the boss broke down and made
mp his mind to confess all.

DYNANIING 0F LOS ANGELES TINES
NAY HAVE BEEN SOLVED BY ARRESTS
W. J. Burns, Detective,
Has Worked on Many
Other Celebrated
C2Go2

0W y ILLIAM J. BURNS, the de
WFFassg tcctiye who made the ar
rests in connection with the
Los Angeles dynamiting,
had previously acquired fame by such
important convictions as that Of Abe
Ruef the San Francisco boss, and the
Oregon land grabbers.
Mr.. Burns father was for a time
commissioner of police of Cleveland
O., and when he was himself only
twenty he entered the United States
secret service, in which he remained
for twenty-five years, till he acquired
the reputation with Chief WiIlie Of
being the best man he had. His first
job for the government was the run
ming down of Bill Brockway, who had
a counterfeiting plant in New York.
1t took him several months Of steady
work, but he got his man at last and
sent him away for q long term.
Counterfeiters Run Down.
For years Mr.. Burns was employed
mainly on C0untcrfeUing cases, the
most famous Of which resulted in the
arrest of Taylor and Bredell and their
eleven cOnfedcratcs for uttering a
number Of forged hundred dollar Mon
roe head silver certificates. In this
case the principal guide the detective
had to the identity Of his men was
that only highly skilled engravers
could possibly have carried through
the Job. Such men are rare in this
country. and he gradually narrowed
down elews by a process of elimina-
ton.
To obtain evidence to convict, how
ever, was 4 matter of long watching
and much ingenuity. He had to OBJ
tain entrance to the office of the sus-
poets while they were at luncheon
and conduct his Investigations in a
way to evade suspicion. When at
length he made his arrests his evi-
dence was still not complete. and it
was essential that he should bluff his
first prisoner into admissions that
would incriminate the other. This he
managed to accomplish and by this
combination of patient work and
