"CAN FRANCISCO, July "a The
- police have not been able to find
any trace Of evidence leading to
the perpetrator of the bomb outrage of
last Saturday. The city is stirred to
a white heat with indignation over the
Internal act of placing . high explosive
bomb in the midst of the crowd which
had gathered TO witness the prepared
ness parade, and should any suspect be
fixed upon, the recourses OF the police,
would be taxed to protect him. The
only suspect arrested so far is limo
cent the police believe.
A brother of o. H. Lambert of Ala
media, one Of the victims Of the expfOs-
ion, has published an advertisement
Offering a thousand dollars reward for
any clew that will lead to the arrest
and conviction of the guilty party or
parties. Lambert's announcement is
eouched in terms which are unusual for
such an offer, for he simply advertises
Willingness to give the money Gin any
way desired for any tip that will lead
to the capture Of the guilty party"
City Offers Reward
The city has offered a reward of
$4,000 for information leading TO the
discovery of the. parties responsible
for the explosion. More than twenty
four hours of the most energetic in
yestigation has left the detective de-
partment without clues.
The suspect arrested, Josefson Finn,
is sailor. He is still held in Jail
Though the police last night expressed
the opinion that he is innocent, they
have not released him. He is held ON
the detinue book, without any charge
placed against him. Such is the pub
lie indignation over the outrage that
he is safer in, Jail, as long as there is
any suspicion of him, than he would
be at large.
Five More May Die ..
Five more of the wounded victims
Of the explosion will probably die &C
eording TO the reports of the hospital
physicians last night, making the
death list eleven. The forty others
wounded are all expected to recover.
Governor Hiram johnson has an

Control to make an appropriation for
funds, to add to the rewards offered
by the city of San Francisco, for in
formation that win lead to the dis
covery of the party or parties respon-
sible for the explosion. There is no
doubt that the money will be appro-
priated, and it is expected that today
announcement will be made Of the
proffer of enormous sums for the ar.
rest of the guilty persons.
The terrific force of the explosion
was shown today by the fact that SOU
Senir hunters, blocks away from the
scene where it occurred, have gath.
cred fragments of the bomb or in.
ternal machine that went of. QUAINT
ties of these slugs of iron have been
picked up on the streets.
Post Cards Only clev
The principal elews which the police
have TO work on lie in the postoffiee
department, for there were warnings
Of an explosion sent through the mails
several days before the parade. I'm
less the mailing of these can be traced
10 some source, the detectives are with.
out a line of investigation. All of the
city detective force has been at work
on Investigations covering every
source Of supply of explosives, but last
night the police department admitted
that it was without any important
elew.
y, The only theory advanced to ex-
plain the tragedy is that the bomb ey-
piosion is the work of some crazy an
srchist opponent of preparedness,
