Infernal Machines Found Beneath Res­ idences of Two Bitter Foes to Or­ ganized Labor--Big Reward Offered for Captu|p of Perpetrators. Los Angele8, Cal.--At least twenty men lost their live* Saturday when the building occupied by the Los Angeles Times Publishing company was destroyed by fire. The fire was preceded by an explo­ sion and Immediately the building was enveloped in flames. The blast oc­ curred on the 6ecofid floor of an ad­ dition to the old building. This is of three floors. Within a few seconds the entire structure was a fiery fur­ nace. The havoc of the explosion was grpRiMit in t.h« mechanical depart­ ments. and the majority of the dead and Injured w*re members of these departments. Twenty-two Injured were taken to the receiving hospital. Within twelv« hours after the wrecking of the Times plant an at­ tempt was made to destroy the resi­ dence of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, pub­ lisher of the paper, by means of an in­ fernal machine. The bomb was discovered In a suit­ case hidden under a bunch of vines near a bay window and was exploded as It was hurled Into the street by police officers. Little damage was done. Another Infernal machine was found earlier In the day at the residence of P. J. Zeehandelaar. secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers' asso­ ciation. General Otis an J the other respon­ sible heads of the paper charge the Times building disaster and narrowly averted attempts at further destruc­ tion of life and property to labor union sources. The property damage is esti­ mated at $500,000. With equal emphasis the leaders of union labor here and throughout the state repudiate the accusation and have offered all aid In their power in the effort to detect the culprits. For twenty years, following a quar­ rel with the typographical union, which resulted in making the Times a nonunion paper, General Otis has fought unionism with every resource at his command. He has been ably seconded In this fight by the Mer­ chants and Manufacturers' association, whose secretary was the object of frustrated dynamiting. The president of the local typo­ graphical union issued orders that union printers may work in conjunc­ tion with the nonunion printers of the Times in any of the local newspaper offices in getting out the edition of the Times. The city council met In special ses­ sion and appropriated $25,000 for the purpose of determining the cause of the Times explosion and provided a reward of $2,500 for the capture of those responsible for the outrage.

It nondemns "all attacks upon the Supreme court of the United States. t It declares for sovereign state rights and "for the largest possible measure of home rule for all cities of the state." It denounces the Republican party for its government of the state. The declaration of principles declares that the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law was a "breach of faith" by the Republican party and responsible for the high cost of living. Only by a downward revision of the tariff, It is held, could the cost of living be reduced.

Lee O'Nell Browne took me to Mr. Lorimer and we had a talk. I told him I wouldn't vote for him un­ less he did as I requested.

WINS $10,000 CASH PRIZE Young Aviator Surpasses AH cross­ country Flights in His Chicago to 8prlngfleld (III.) Trip--Out-Dis­ tances Special Train. PRAISE FOR LAFOUETTE CONVENTION CALL8 8ENATOR PI* ONEER PROGRESSIVE. Springfield, 111.--What is looked up­ on as one of the most remarkable feats In aerial navigation was accom­ plished by Walter B. Brooking. Ur a Wright biplane, Thursday, when be successfully flew from Chicago to this city, and In doing so he broke all cross­ country aeronautic records. With only two stops, neither of which was actually necessary, he made the trip from Chicago to Springfield, a distance of 186 miles, In five hours and forty-nine minutes, maintaining an average speed of 32.7 miles an hour, and won the $10,000 prize offered by a Chicago newspaper. Along the entire route, from Chicago to the state fair grounds here, hun­ dreds of thousands of people cheered the daring young aviator as he passed. As the great mechanical bird came to the ground here in the presence Of 40,000 people he was cheered vocifer­ ously for fully half an hour. Brooklns left Chicago at 9:16 a. m. He dropped out of the clouds over the fair grounds In Springfield at 4:45. Forty-seven minutes after Brooklns rose from the ground In Washington park, Chicago, the "Daylight Special" left the Park Row station over the Illi­ nois Central. A special car had been attached in which traveled Wilbur Wright, the airship Inventor; Roy Knabenshue, special representative of the Wright brothers; members of the Aero club of Illinois, and about forty newspaper men. After a flight of two hours and twen­ ty-eight minutes Brooklns came to Oil­ man. where he arrived at 11; 43. Brook- ins was far ahead of the train and he decided to alight and await the arri­ val of the train. The train arrived at Oilman at 12:15 and orders were given by the division superintendent of the railroad to hold the train until the biplane should re­ sume its flight. The gasoline and wa­ ter tanks were replenished, and after the engines had %een gone over care­ fully by Wright and Knabenshue. Brooklns resumed his flight. From Gil^aaa to Springfield the spe­ cial train and the aeroplane ran neck and neck, first one forging ahead, then the other, but never at any time more than a quarter of a mile apart. Brooklns was forced at 3:20 to de­ scend at Mt. Pulaski for fuel, only twenty-four miles from the state fair grounds. The landing was one of the most remarkable that has ever been seen In the history of aviation. Trees and fences surrounded blnV on all sides and with perfect control he picked out a spot, after soaring about In a short circle, scarcely more than half a block square, and landed square in the ce'Jter. The special train was held up, the aeroplane's supplies again were renewed, and at 3:45 he as­ cended again. From Pulaski to the fair grouuds a speed of thirty-live miles an hour was maintained.

Madison, Wis.--Sharp criticism of the Payne tariff law, a demand for the physical valuations of railroads and unstinted praise of Senator La Follette as the pioneer "progressive" are the principal plankB of the plat­ form adopted by the Republican state convention Wednesday. Indorsement of the state's strongly "Insurgent" delegation in congress and a slap at President Taft are ex­ pressed In the following resolution: "Wisconsin Is to be congratulated upon having representatives In the senate and house who remained truft to the people and to the national plat­ form of the party, notwithstanding .the efforts to punish them, for £?« do­ ling by withdrawal of federal patro­ nage." * On the tariff the platform says: "The Payne-Aldrlch tariff Is not a compliance with the pledge of the Republican party in its national plat­ form. The true basis of protective tariff is the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, and we hold any increased cost of production of living of Amer­ ican labor should be accomnanied by compensating tariff duties. "The present tariff board has no power of investigation, and Is not re­ quired to report to congress. We fa­ vor the creation of a nonpartisan tariff committee empowered to ascer­ tain the cost of production lu this and other countries, and required to make frequent reports of the Information gained In congress. "Upon the information so obtained congress should proceed to revise the different schedules independently o* each other, according to true pro tective tariff principles." GIRL AND TWO BOYS SHOT Children of John F. Dietz, Wisconsin Fugitive, Fired On by 8heriff-- Youth Warns Father. Covdejrayr Wls., Oct. 3.--In a futile effort tp capture John F. Dletz, the "outlaw of Cameron Dam," three of the Dietz children were shot and two of the three wounded were captured. The other escaped to warn his father of the raid. Diets is charged with shooting a man in an election row September 1 and has defied the authorities. The sheriff expected him to go to Winter, and waited for bim at the side of a road. When the Dietz buggy ap­ proached, Sheriff Madden ordered the three occupants to throw up their hands, and when they failed to obey fired at close range. Dietz had stayed at home, having learned that the sheriff was near, and had sent his daughter with his sons, thinking the officers would n^t shoot if she was near. She, as well as the boys, was fTmed. Leslie Dietz es­ caped through a shower of bullets Fifty residents of Winter, many old- time friends of Dletz, have been sworn In as special under sheriffs and the city is patrolled constantly under lustructlons from Sheriff Madden, who fears the wrath of the defender of Cameron dam.

LOST SUPPORT OF FRIENDS Desperate Man, Through His Threats, Has Northern Wisconsin in Tur­ moil--Town of Winter Un­ der martial nuie. Winter, Wis.--John F. Dietz. the outlaw of Cameron Dam, in the wilder­ ness of northern Wisconsin, was Mon­ day practically a prisoner in his log house, in the center nt his clearing. His daughter is in a hospital at Ash­ land, desperately wounded; one son, is in jail with a^ bullet through his »rrr> 2.Sd snotbsr son is With tlifi father, and is also wounded. Meanwhile all northern Wisconsin fs in turmoil. The death of Dletz seems certain, for he has lost the sup­ port of his former friends, who sup­ ported him In the days wh^n he won fame by his warfare against the Chip­ pewa Falls Lumber company, a prop­ erty of the Great Weyerhauser Lum­ ber corporation. While Dietz is surrounded in his forest clearing, the town of Winter is excited, because Dletz has threat­ ened to invade the place and shoot every person involved in the shooting of his two sons and his daughter. The town is under martial rule, the sheriff having deputized about thirty- five men. most all of them friend^ of Horel, the man shot on election day. For two days the officers prevented the newpaper correspondents sent here from various cities from sending out anything of ths battle in which the Dietz children were shot. How­ ever. the rule has been so modified as to* allow the wires to be used al­ though there is a dead line around the village and the word is absolute that any person crossing that line will be shot. This is to prevent any aid being sent to Dietz. The officers do not fear the arrival of Dletz for they believe they have him surrounded. Dietz, In his woods cabin, is now unable to leave the house, for the woods about the clear­ ing are surrounded with officers, picked shots, who will try to pick Dietz off with a rifle shot if he moves out of doors. Dietz has his cabin stocked with enough food to last until spring. In the chance that Dietz escapes, however. Winter is kept under guard. All of the sheriff's men are crack shots, able to pick off a deer at a mile, but Dietz, his children and his wife are also dead shots. Dietz says he will die fighting, and the probable end Is his death by a shot of an officer. OFFICERS GUARD OTIS HOME Twelve Bodies Recovered From Ruins Of Los Angeles Times Building Wrecked by Bomb. Los Angeles, Cal.--Searchers in the ruins of the Los Angeles Times build­ ing, which was destroyed by an ex­ plosion and fire Saturday morning, came upon seven charred bodies at the foot of the elevator shaft Monday.

Zeehandelaar, to prevent further attempts to wreck the houses. 30 INJURED IN COLLISION Excursion Trsin Collides Head-On With Freight Through Blunder Latter's Crew at Laporte, Ind.
