Attempt Made On Life o. Lea Angeles
Times Publisher.

Times Publisher.
| Los Angoles--For the second time
within three years bomb Wednesday
placed In jeopardy the life Of General
Harrison Gray Otis, owner Of the EOS
Angeles Times building, which was
destroyed by dynamite October 10,
1910. That he was not clown to pieces
was probably due to the watchful eye
OF his Japanese servant, who received
from the postman an internal machine
Maid Ia this city, and called his en-
ployer's attention to It.
The first informal machine directed
at the life OF General Otis was found
at his residence few hours after his
newspaper plant had been destroyed
through the efforts Of the Mcnamara
Zconsptrators.
The attempt on his life Wednesday
was attributed by the general to agen-
Giles friendly to those for and whose
conspiracy eventuated In the destruc-
ton OF his newspaper plant and the
killing OF 20 men three years ago. But
the police and postal authorities be-
lieved something might be developed
from the theory that the Mexican
question had an impelling part In it.
General Otis Is heavily interested
In lands In the Mexican territory OF
Lower California. where two years ago
Industrial Workers Of the World joined
the direct action" element Of Mexi-
cans in an effort to establish a social
istic commonwealth.
A few weeks ago there was another
outbreak caused, according to report,
by the employment OF Chinese In the
places OF Mexican laborers by ranch
ers In Lower California, but General
Otis asserted at the time that none
we're employed by him.

HUERTA ORDERS DIAz HOME
Believed He will Support Latter
for Presidency.

Mexico obstruction have beer
sent by President Huerta to General
Felix Diax, who now ID In Europe, to
return 10 Mexico Immediately. 1t Ia
expected that he will sail within = few
days.
This fact II learned on high author
ity, and II II regarded here a. indicat-
irx that General Huerta intends to
abide by the pact signed at the Amer
lean embassy last February to place
no obstacle In the path OF General
Disx In his candidacy for the presi-
dsncy.
II In considered possible that Gem
eral Huerta will throw his influence to
Diax. which practically would insure
his election.
The asrtisans of Diaz have not
ceased u labor In his behalf, and
assert that they have organized up
ward Of 5000 "clubs" throughout the
republic. Up to the present General
Diax IL the only candidate In the field
The Catholic party, which Ia the
only big organization likely to put for

convention several weeks ago and adj
journad without naming a candidate.
The leaders Of that party have called
another convention. 1t Ia no secret
that they favor Huerta, and In the
previous convention they decided to
support the present president should
he decide to become candidate.
General Huerta, however, has given
no intimstion Of such intention.
Much comment has been caused by
President Huerta's selection Of Edu-
ardo Txmarix, one OF the most promi-
nent among the younger leaders Of the
Catholic party, for the portfolio of
public instruction in his cabinet, va
Gated by Jose Maria Lozano. who has
been transferred to the department of
communications and public works.
Tsmarix has never held an important
public Office, although for several
years he has been closely identified
with political affairs.

Small Appropriation Will Not
Allow of Much HeadWay
During Present Year

That the army Of the United States
stands fourteenth In the armies OF the
world as regards aeToplane equipment
A-b0th Japan and China SURPRISING
our army in this respect and that,
owing to the lack Of funds for the pur-
pose appropriated, very little progress
can be made during the coming year,
is the statement made by Captain c..
de F. Chandler of the signal corps,
one of the foremost aviators in the
army, this morning.
I'VE are falling way behind such
nations as Germany and France" !"
said Captain Chandler, "and, although
two millions was the appropriation
requested for aviation purposes this
year, but one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars was granted by
congress. This is scarcely sufficient
to pay for the expenses of maintain
ing the various stations scattered all
over the country, to say nothing of
buying new machines and equipment.
That our army will suffer i'm time
of war from this neglect of the avia-
ton corps is lesson We should learn
ers. Only recently in the great French
maneuvers it has been proved con-
clusively that the aeroplane is indis-
pensible in time of war for scouting
purposes. All the great powers of
Europe and a number of the lesser
powers have taken this lesson to
heart and are spending hundreds of
thousands annually on their aeroplane
corps.
''At the present time single aero
plane costs the government about $l0,-
900. The government in the past has
been using the American machines
either the Wright the Curtiss or the
Burgess machines being preferred
We are still buying American-made
machines. but it is now thought best
to equip them with engines made in
France. Our aeroplane stations for
army aviators on the east coast, at
Texas City, Texas, and at San Antonio,
Texas. are employing army aviators
trained at the Wright school. AT San
Diego, Cal, the aviators arc men
trained by Curtiss. We are extend
ing our station at Manila now. and
hope to make it one of the most i'm
portant in the country.
When asked the reasons for acci-
dents to aviators, Captain Chandler
shook his head. 1T is pretty difficult
to tell, he said, lust what causes the
accident. Sometimes it is never
known. A man may be expert and
take the greatest care with his ma
chine and yet something may go
wrong. The controlling wire may pull
loose. a bolt may pull out, there are
any number of things that may hap
pen. 1t seems as if every accident has
a different cause. There are two or
three thousand causes that might give
rise to an aeroplane accident, and
guess we haven't learned them all
yet"
Captain Chandler. who arrived this
morning, will said for Manila on the
Sherman at noon tomorrow.

METzGER FEELS
SAFE IN Fight
FOR POSITION
Senator Obtains Legal Advice
on Organic Act Before leav-
ing for Washington

Having obtained expert legal advice
before leaving for the mainland, Sen
ator Delbert K. MetZger is confident
that no question will be raised at the
national capital concerning his eligi-
bility for the position of governor of
the territory.
Before his departure he conferred
olth attorneys and definitely settled,
IN hts own mind at least, the question
of whether the gubernatorial office is
federal or territorial position. He
has been assured that the former Is
the case, and1hat the clause of the
organic act which prohibits member
of the legislature from accepting an
election or appointment to another
''office of the territory of Hawaii
does not apply to the job now held by
Governor Frear.
This is a question the various
phases of which promise some hot
debate among the island politicians
and legal authorities during the next
few days, and may reach a climax
in a demand upon President Wilson
for an Interpretation.
IL the governors job comes under
the definition of IAN office of the ter
rltory," then Senator Metzger's long
journey is fruitless, for he cannot,
under the Organic Act, be appointed
Governor Frear's successor. He was
elected last fall to four-year term
in the territorial senate.
Section 16 of the Organic Act
reads:
THAT no member of the legisla-
ture shall, during the term of office
for which he is elected. be appointed
or elected to any office of the Terri
tory of Hawaii"
Thus, If the governor is a territorial
Official. and strict Interpretation is
placed on the wording of the clause
quoted above, Senator Metzger can
not be appointed to the position even
though he resigns his job as senator. Z

which he is elected" when strictly
