Lob AngcleB, Oct. 3. Following tho explosion which destroyed the build lngs and plant of tho Lou Angeles Tlmt'B, with Iosb of a score or lives, on nttetnpt was made to destroy the residence of Hnrrlton Gray Oils, pub lisher of tho Times, by menns of nn Infernal machine. A suspected effort to blew up the auxiliary plant of that paper and the finding of u powerful In fernal machine In the residence of Sec retary Zeehandelaur of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association has wrought th,ls city to an intense stnto of suspense and excitement. General Otis and tho other responsible heads of tho paper unequivocally charge the Times building disaster and the nar rowly averted attempts at further de struction of life and property to labor union sources. The present trouble Involving the Dletz family which led to the shoot lng Is the result of a qunrrel Diet had with Bert Ilorel, a school super visor of Winter, over the rent for a building ised for school purposes. The quarrel took place on Sept. 7, when DIotz shot Horel through the neck, the wound not proving fatal, however. A warrant was sworn out for Dletz nrrest, but ho has prevented service by threatening to shoot. Knowing Deltz' record as the defender of Cam eron Dam, deputies have been careful about approaching him. With equal emphasis tho leaders of union Inbor here and throughout the state repudiate the accusations and have offered all aid In their power In the effort to detect the culprits. For twenty years, following a qunr rel with the typographical union which resulted In making the Times a non union paper, General Otis has fought unionism with every resource at hiH command. He has been ably seconded In this fight by the Merchants and Manufacturers' association, whose sec retary was the object of frustrated dynamiting. At Least Twenty Killed. The death list of the Times disas ter will probably total at least twen ty. There are four known dead and sixteen missing whose bodies almost to a certainty lie In the still smoking ruins of the Times building. Tho dead: Harvey C. Elder, assist ant city editor; J. Wesley Reeves, sec retary to Assistant General Manager Chandler; K. L. Sawyer, telegrapher; Harry L. Crane, assistant telegraph editor. The missing: J. C. Galllher, lino type operator; W. G. Tunstall, lino type operator; Fred Llelwyn, linotype operator; John Howard, printer; Grant Moore, machinist; Ed Wasson, printer; Elmer Frink, operator; Eu gene Carr, Don E. Johnson, operator; Ernest Jordan, operator; Frank Underwood, linotype operator; Charles Gulliver, compositor; Carl Saalada, linotype operator; Howard Courdaway, linotype operator; Charles Haggerty, pressman; Henry Lees, compositor. In addition there are about twenty Injured, some of. whom may die. The original suspicion of the po lice that the disaster was duo to a heavy charge of a high explosive was practically confirmed by the finding or the other bombs and the statements of those persons In the building or near by at the time of the explosion. Three hundred workers digging un ceasingly for two days In the ruins hnve unearthed six of the nineteen bodies burled under tons of debrln. The shovel brigade is still at work. No clue to the outrage has been un covered. But three arrests have been made Mayor Alexander Increased the city's offer of reward to $10,000, This, together with the offers of local news papers and laljor organizations, whose leaders have pronounced a determina tion to assist In the search for the criminals, raises the total amount of proffered rewards to $18,500. TAFT GIVES PARTY RECORD Speech Marked by Unusually Concilia tory Tone Toward Insurgents. New York, Oct. 3. President Taft delivered what will probably be his only public address of the present campaign at the banquet of the Na tional Republican league at tho Hotel Astor. The president's speech was marked by an unusually conciliatory tone toward the Insurgent wing of the rarty. He gave "all lactions of the party" due credit for their share In helping to put through congress the legislative program, which the prerJ dent took occasion to outline in some detail. The record of the last eighteen months he declared was an earnest of the desire of the party to fulfill its platform promises and obligations, and he promised that if the Republic an majority In congress should be con tinued at the coming elections, the work thus far left undone would be carried through to completion. "A progressive Republican," the president said, "Is one who recognizes oxiBtlng nnd concrete, evils and who Is In favor of practical and definite etepa to eradicate them." Washington, October i. When the Payne-Aldrich bill was before the Sen ate, blind Senator Tom P. Gore of Ok lahoma staked his reputation that if the measure was passed extreme high prices wonld follow. EXPLANATION Of HIGH PRICES The prophecy .was fulfilled. Aver age prices rose more than 17 per cent, from June to December, 1909. The, price of steel trust common stock more than doubled in six months in 1909- It is the history of all protectionist countries that tariff revision upward means increased peices. It is not Gen erally realized how rapidly the price of tariff-protected articles rose after the passage of the Dingley law in 1897. From July i, 1897, to Jan. 1, 1900, the first three years following the Dingley law, the cost of living ad vanced 31 per cent or at the rate of 9 percent a year. More trusts were formed during this than during any other similiar petiod in our history. The price of wire nails rose from $1.36 a keg, in August 1898, to S3. 53, in December, 1899 160 per cent hi 16 months. The price of barb wire rose from $1.65 per 100 lbs., in August, 1897, to $4.13, in December, iSqg 150 per cent 111 2 years. The price of window glass rose from Si. 75 a box, in April 1897, to $4, bo in April 1901 175 per cent in 4 years- The Dingley tariff made the trusts, and the trusts put up the prices. Hut few, if any, trusts were formed dining the three years of coinp.iiatively low duties of the Wilson L. 1 1 1 - When the Get nun government in tioduced its tariff law of 1902, it pub lished an explanation which contained the frank statement that "inland prices are raised, so far as a consideration of the circumstances of the last ten years will allow us to judge, in proportion to the duties". In France, Italy, and some other European countries a part of the mu nicipal revenue is raised by duties on goods entering the towns. At the gates of such towns there is an official who collects thisjax.anj it is found that the difference in prices of articles pur chased inside oi the towns and outside is in nearly everv instance exactly the the amount of the duty. The same happens in trade between nations. The reason the sugar trust, the lum ber trust, the steel trust, and the har vester trust are willing to contribute large sums to the campaigu funds of President Taft and republican candi dates for congress and are unwilling to the funds of democratic candidates, is that the republican party is the party ol excessive protection. Tariff revision upward means increased prices, and the tariff trusts know that they can collect from the people in new profits re- Jrr, "; 1 ' "-E ARE SHOWING all the new things in Silks.

The Republicans promise to make public the source of campaign contri butions after the November Congres sional electin. The report of the standpat republi can members of the Ballinger investi gating committee is to be made public afinr the election. Nothing further is to be said of the $5, 000,00 Taft-Humphrey shipsubsidy grab bill until after election- The soft pedal is to be applied to the Oklahoma Indian lauds thievery un til after election Nothing is to be done with the Lori mer investigation until after election. No step is to be taken in the sugar trust-friar lands Philippine scandal until after election. The National Monetary commission, of which Senator Aldrich is chairman, will not make its report recommending a central government bank until after the November election- And President Taft and his stand pat followers will not uit talking about economy until after the November election! ANOTHER CASE or LARCENY The national tepublican platform of 1&92 contained the following paragraph: "We denounce the efforts ot the democratic majority of the house of representatives to destroy our tariff laws piecemeal, as manifested by their attacks upon wool, lead, and lead ores." Times have changed, Republican candidates for Congress, upon the ad vice of President Taft, are now advo cating and promising tariff revision "piecemeal" with the intimation that the schedules enumerated in the 1892 platform will be the first ones tackled. Add one to the list ot ideas that the G, O. P. lias filched from the Democrats. WHY MEAT IS HIGH Thirty-five per cent is the amount of profit Armour & Co. forced the public to pay last year. This became known through a statement submitted by Armour k Co. in connection with the listing of a bond issue of $30,000,000 on the stock exchange. The company by its own showing made a gross profit of $10,582,000 for the year 1909 on a capital stock of $20,000,000, and earned a surplus of $7,127,926, or the equivalent of a dividend of 35-6 per cent. As the price of beef was boosted with the beginning of 1910, it would appear that in the opinion of Armour & Co- a 35.6 per cent profit on capital stock is not ample, even though the commodity involved is one of the necessaries of life. Armour & Co. is one of the beef trust firms which en joyed perfect immunity from prosecu tion by the government until Federal Judge Landis of Chicago, an insurgent, forced the Taft administration to take cognizance of the fact that the beef trust was illegally holJing up the public. aamMummmMmmmmmmmmmmamm I IE Every Bell Telephone Is Long Distance Station. a Quality in Hardware "UALITY should come first in buying Hardware. .
