infernal Machine Discovered in Zee
handelaar Residence Effort Sue
pectcd to Destroy Auxiliary Plant of
Nonunion Paper Times Building
Destroyed With Loss of Twenty.
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

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.
