SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July
24.-Under the pressure of public
sentiment which has been aroused
over the bomb explosion that
marked Saturdays preparedness
parade here, the authorities to-
day are working with determina-
ton to apprehend the perpetrator
of the deed. To the death list
of six it is expected that two and
probably more of the forty-four
injured will be added, five of the
victims being reported in a crltl-
cal condition.
Led by Mayor Rolph, who has
offered a reward of 5000 for the
arrest of the person, and who IS
taking an active part in the
search, scores of citizens have
volunteered their services for
personal aid.
A mass meeting to express an opin-
ion on the bomb outrage" was called
today for Wednesday by Frederick j.
Roster, president of the chamber Of
commerce and chairman of the COM
mittee on law and order which was
appointed recently to deal with the
longshoreman strike situation.
Clues Being Followed.
Several clues are being followed with
great activity. Two men who claimed
to have seen the man with the suit
case believed to have contained the In
fernal machine, described him as about
thirty-fve years old. tall and shabbily
dressed.
AS a result of the conference between
Mayor Rolph and Gov. Hiram w. john
son it is regarded as likely that the
state will supplement the cfty's action
with the offer OF a large reward for
the assassin.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered
by the brother of one of the victims.

that the bomb had as its principal in
gradients nitro -tu1uol This substance,
they say, was compressed into a length
of cast steel pipe. which, judging from
the fragments picked up in the area of
destruction. must have been from
foot to fifteen inches long and from
six to eight inches In diameter.
Such bomb, it is stated, could have
been fired by time arrangement at
fixed to an ordinary alarm clock.
Saw Bomb Fall Into Street.
An entirely new angle to the case was
presented to the police by DR.. ]. Mora
Moss who said that the explosive either
was tossed into the crowd or dropped
from the top of a one-story building at
Market and Steuart streets. DR.. Moss
said he was in Steuart street at the
time. forming in line with the Sons of
the American Revolution, and observed
the bomb falling to the street. He said: !:
II happened to turn and saw a black
object, surrounded by smoke, falling
through the air. 1t was perhaps ten
feet above the ground. 1t fell among
the crowd and the explosion followed
1 am sure that it was hurled into the
mass of people, and the theory that the

arrested Saturday when he made a
speech at the scene of the explosion in
condonence of the act, is still in Gus

But flat glass, such as is used to
cover box of seeds. has not the shape
OF a lens. and cannot concentrate the
suns rays at a focus Nevertheless. it
does collect heat because it possesses
another property which is quite as
wonderful in its way as the ability of
a lens to concentrate sunshine at a
point. Glass lets the bright light ravs
pass with little obstruction, but il al
most entirely stops rays of heat, which
are not bright, but invisible.
When the suns rays that have passed
through the glass. as easily as dust

greater part Of them are absorbed bv
the ground. Some are reflected. but
most of them disappear as light and
are turned into heat.
Thus the ground and the air that
is confined under the glass is warmed.
and this warmth is greater than it
would be If there were no glass to pre-
vent the rays of the heat which arise
from the warmed ground from escaping
out onto the free air above the glass.
We have still to explain the reason
why the rays of heat do not pass
through the glass as those Of light do

Volunteer Police Corps
Formed By New Workers;
1000 Enlist For Duty

New York. April ga volunteer
civilian police corps. in which over
1000 have thus far enlisted, is being
formed in this city by the police com
missioner. It is planned to have this
corps ready to jump INTO action and
take the place of tile regular police
men in case dangerous riots or any
other emergency should result in all
the uniformed men being called into
some particular section Of the city.
The idea of the organization is that
the volunteer members Of the reserve
force shall have no duties or privileges
unless specially called out. At other
times they are only ordinary citizens.
in case Of emergency, however. they
shall be called and sworn in as special
policemen to patrol the beats and take
the place Of the regular force, which
would be used for the suppression OF
riots.
Preparations are now under way for
giving the men adequate training IN
police duty, so that they viii be ready
whenever required.
