OTIS DEATH SOUGHT
BY BOMB SENDER
Publisher of Los Angeles Times
Sent Internal Machine.
BLAST PREVENTED BY Jap
Servant Call Generals Attention 70
Package and Police Expert Dis
covers Heavy Charge-Second
Attempt on Life.

Los Angeles. Cal, Sept IS.-The
life of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis was
threatened for the second Time Tues
day when he received an Internal ma
chine through the mails. General Otis
is publisher of the Los Angeles Times
which was blown up October 1, 1910.
by the Mcnamara brothers
That he escaped injury probably
was due to the watchful eye of his
Japanese servant, who received from
tbs postman an Internal machine
mailed in this city and called his
employers attention to it.
The first Internal machine directed
at the life of General Otis was found
at his residence a few hours after his
newspaper plant had been destroyed
through the efforts of the Mcnamara
conspirators
The latest attempt on his life was
attributed by the general to agencies
friendly to those whose conspiracy
eventuated in the destruction of his
newspaper plant and the killing of
twenty-one men three years ago.
But the police and postal authorities
believe something might be devel-
oped from the theory that the Mexi-
can question had a part In it, pointing
to an insurrecto demonstration
against ranch company in which
General Otis is heavily interested
In lower California two years ago
Industrial Workers of the World
Joined the direct action" element of
Mexicans in an effort to establish a
Socialistic commonwealth in dis
trict where General Otis owns much
property.
A few weeks ago there was an out
break caused according to report by
the employment of Chinese in the
places of Mexican laborers in lower
California, but General Otis asserted
at the time that none were employed
by him.
Capt Il. B. Foltz, powder expert
In the police department, took the
machine to sparsely inhabited sec
ton of the city. near the Los Angeles
river and there exploded the bomb
which tore a great hole In the ground
The wrappings were given over to
the post Office inspectors, who began
. an investigation.
Chief of Police Sebastian inclined
to the theory that the bomb had been
sent by some person violently OPP
posed to General Otis newspaper pol
icy with regard to the Huerta admin
istration In Mexico. ut is possible"
he said, that some of the dfsgruntled
Mexicans sought to kill the newspa-
per man whom they believed to be
supporting Huerta."
General Otis, who is close friend
of former President Por1rio DiaZ OF
Mexico, is largely interested in the
California and Mexico Ranch and Cat
tie company, which owns great tracts
in lower California and Sonora.

Sixteen singing laborers with a
luna at the head of them, all dane
ing and making merry in the yards

picks and shoyels forgotten, was the
scene which awaited the eyes of Road

+. The mystery of how they came in
TO possession of sufficient square
face" to make them forget the cares
of life and the job before them has
not been solved yet, and Smiddy
holds out little hope of unwinding the
mystery. All he says he knows is
that when he approached the Kane
hameha school the sixteen laborers
and luna were singing loud enough to
make a deaf man Teel from the noise.
The chances are that the laberers
will be out looking for job and
other men will take their place in
putting Kamehameha school in order
