Republican A. p. Leased wirel

| Republican A. p. Leased Wirel LOS ANGELES. Dec. 15.-Mathcw i A. Schmidt. charged with murder as the result of the the Los Angeles Times explosion, was positively iden- tined today as the man who nego- Jiated and paid for five hundred pounds of eighty per cent dynamite in san Francisco September l6. 1910. IL was part of this explosive which vas alleged to have been used to de- s,roy the Times building october 1. 1910.
 David Caplan. who was indicted at the same time and on the same charge as Schmidt. was brought in- to court today and declared by wit ness to be the man who was given an order for the delivery of this dynamite at the factory.
 The idenufications were brought about by the testimony of Bruce Me Can. R. H. Rhennie and NJ. V. GIl- more. employees of the Giant Powder Company, the concern from which the explosive was alleged to have been purchased.
 Mccall. who was shipping clerk in the san Francisco office us the com pany in September 1910. testified that on September F.. he received a telephone from a party representing himself to be J. R. Bryson and who asked if he company could furnish eighty percent dynamite. He was told it would be sold, and the fol- lowing day, he said. two men came into the office stating that they rep resented Bryson. One of them. the witness testified. did all the talking, paid $S2.lO for the dynamite and ar ranged to call for it with a launch about a week later at the factory on San Francisco bay. Mccall identi- fled Schmidt as the man who did the talking and paid the money.
 Mccall stated that man. answer ing in general way the description of Caplan. obtained an order for the explosive September 22. He said he gave his name as Wm. Morris, but the witness refused to say definitely that this man was Ca7I1n. Gilmore, who was purchasing agent for the company at the time. testified that he talked with Morris when he came for the order and declared Nor ris and Caplan were the same per son.
 Rennic. who was general sales agent for the company. said he also saw Morris and that he 'resembled' Caplan but he was not positive that the two were identical. He said Morris gave his address at 741o Mission street, which was the address at which Schmidt stayed about that time. according to testimony given yesterday Rennie also said Morris gave the name of the launch it was proposed to use to transpor~ the dy- namite as the "PeerIes2-

The apostle did not fear to claim his

Truth, had made him free.

What Is the Matter With the Unit
ed SfRfeSi

AS l have been residing in London
since the beginning of the war l have
been hearing this question asked on
all sides. l have never heard any
satisfactory answer. No one seems
to know.
From the European point of view
the United States is haven of peace
and security and prosperity. 1t has
no troubles that it dare to mention
to Belgium or Austria or France or
Germany or Servia or Great Britain or
Russia.
Every tenth Briton is enlisted.
Every tenth Frenchman is at the
front. Every tenth Belgium is dead.
What does the United States know
of trouble2
1 would give them a look at real
trouble. l would let them see trains
ten at a time, five minutes apart,
packed with the manned and dying.
would let them hear the fragmen-
tary survivors the incredible story of
battlefields $50 miles wide, and armies
that are greater than the entire pop
ulation of Texas.
| would let them see graves 100
yards long and full, and Belgium, the
country that was, nothing now but
Il, 900 square miles of wreckage.
Then | would say TO them:
Now go back and appreciate the
United States. Realize your oppor-
tunities. Don't start digging trenches
when nobody is firing at you. Don't
fall down when you have not been hit.
Don't be blind to the most glorious
chance you have ever had in your
life. Go back and get ready for the
most tremendous business boom that
any nation ever had. Go ahead, and
thank God that you are alive and
that your family is alive, and that
you are living in land that Is at
peace at q time when nearly the
whole world ir at war"

First Balloon Ascension In America.

First Balloon Ascension In America.
The first balloon ascension In Amer
lea took place in Philadelphia on Jan.
8, 1893. The aeronaut was French
man named Blanchard. He secured the
yard of the Walnut street prison as
the place from which to make the
ascent. Among the many distinguished
persons present was George Washing
ton, then president of the United
States. The start was made 1905
o'clock, and as the balloon began to
ascend the aeronaut waved the United
States flag and the tricolor of France
The voyage lasted forty-six minutes,
during which the balloon Travelled
fifteen miles, descending a little to the
eastward of Cooper's Ferry, N. J.
Blanchard returned to the city about
$50 In the evening, and Immediately
paid his respects to President Wash
ington. Following this ascension, dur
the year he made a number of others,
but owing to lack of public support
and insufficient funds of his own, he
returned to France sadly disappoint-
ed at his success in America.

DIR. @. Rood, one of the oldest

wagon of the Cops company was
just ahead of another wagon in
which sand was being hauled. When
the horse driven by the doctor SHE'D
the hubs of the buggy and the wag-
on loaded with sand came in contact
with the result that the thills OF
the doctors buggy were broken
from the front axle At this the
horse became frightened, swerved
to the left and the doctor was
drawn over the dashboard onto the

right side of his head and body
Willing hands went at once to hi:

however, that nothing of serious
