BIG REWARDS OFFERED FOR ARREST OF BOMB
 PLOTTERS IN FRISCO

San Francisco. July 24-Under the lpressure of public sentiment which has been aroused over the bomb explo- sion that marked Saturdays pre- paredness parade here, the authorities today are working with determination to apprehend the perpetrator Of the deet. To the death list of Six 1t is expected that two and probably moro of the A injured will be added, five. of the victims being reported in a criti- cal condition.
 Led by Mayor, Rolph who has of- fered a reward of $5,o00 for the ar rest of the person, and who is. taking kan active part in the search, scores of citizens have volupteered their service for personal aid.
 A mass meeting to. express an opin- ion on the bomb outrage, was called today for July 2e by Frederick J. Roster. president of the chamber cf commerce and chairman of the com- mittees on law and order which was appointed recently to deal with the longshoremen strike situation. As result of conferences between Mayor Rolph and Governor Hiram A. Johnson, it is regarded as likely that the state will supplement the city's s action with the offer of a large re- ward for the assassin.
 A reward of $1.O0O has been offered by the brother of one of the victims.

Former Merchant King Now Has Only
 Few. Thousands

From the regal position of mer-
 chant king, controlling great whole
 sale and retail establishments in New York and dominating chain of s7
 department stores in cities through tout America, John Clafiin has been
 reduced to a position which places
 him on about the same financial foof-
 ing as many of the army of clerks he
 formerly employed. MT. C1afiin was
 born in Brooklyn 66 years ago today,
 July "A, 1850. the son of Horace B. 1Clafin, the~ founder of the great
 wholesale dry goods firm of H. B. Clafin & Co.,. one of the largest con lcerns/of it's kind in the world. John C1affn, accustomed to the enjoyment of wealth all his life, entered his fathers house in 1878, and when H. lB. Clafiin died in 1885 he became the
 head of the business. He gradually extended his sphere of operations by becoming interested in department
 stores in many cities, and when the crash came in 1914 which swept his fortune, away the H. B. Clafiin Com ipany or MT. Clafiin personally con- ltrolled 27 big stoves, in cities as far
 west as Seattle. Spokane and Tacoma, as far north. as Hamilton, Canada,
 and as far south as Montgomery, Ala. In addition, through his interest in the Associated Merchants Company
 and the United Dry Goods Companies. Mir. Clahin was connected with 10 other big stores. While many of
 these concerns have survived the !, ,Clafin> crash and afe now oh firm and prosperous basis, MT. Clafin's personal fortune was lost. He re-

The police have arrived at the con- clusion, it Is said. that the bomb had as it's principal ingredient nitrotoluol. This substance. they say, was com pressed into a length of cast steel pipe, which, judging from the fragments picked up in area of destruction, must have been from a foot to IS inches long and from six to eight inches in diameter. The bomb it is stated could have been fired from time arrange ment affixed to it.
 An entirely new, angle to the case was presented to the police by Dr. J. A. Moss, who said that the ex- plosiveN either was tossed into the crowd or dropped from the top of a one story building at Market and Stuart sterets. Dr. Moss said he was in Stuart street at the time, forming in line with the Sons of the American Revolution and observed the bomb falling to the street. He said:,
 "I happened to turn and saw a black object. surrounded by smoke, amohg the crowd, and the explosion followed. am sure that it was hurled into the mass of people and the theory that the suit case was placed against the corner building is incorrect"
 Frank F. Jozfson, the sailor who avs arrested Saturday when he made speech at the scene of the explosion in approval of the act, is still in cts- tody.
