TRAIN WRECKERS F0ILED
I. w. w. Blamed for Bungling ct
a Santa Fe Switch.
by Telegraph to Tho tribune.

Los Angeles, June 3.-Only ignorance OF
the use OF a switch prevented the success
of an attempt to wreck Santa Fe train
from San Diego to-day at Galivan, siding
six miles north of Juan Capistrano. Ii is
reported that camp of Industrial Work
ers OF the World was I'm the vicinity Of the
latter place last night, which caused a sus-
picion that the threatened war of retalia-
ton against San Diego had begun.
The failure Of Assistant United States
Attorney Webb, in charge OF presenting
evidence relative TO the Industrial Work
ers of the World before the federal grand
jury to appear at his Office to-day, and the
absence OF Charles De Lacour, Of the San
Diego Police Department, gave rise to the
belief that both were in San Diego making
a personal investigation.
