BIG REWARD SPURS
ANARCHIST CHASE
Hunt for Bomb Culprit Is Na-lion-Wide,
as New Clews
Are Being Developed.
WRITING EXPERTS BUSY
Federal Authorities to Co-operate.
With Police Total of $14,000
Now Offered San Francisco
Mayor Gives $4000.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 24. Four
teen thousand dollars, the largest sum
of money ever offered in California
for the apprehension and conviction of
a criminal, according to police records
here, was put up today as a reward
for the capture of the person who ex
ploded a bomb which killed six, and
maimed 43 persons last Saturday dur
ing San Francisco's preparedness
parade. It was expected that the sum
would grow to $20,000 within the next
few days.
Of other developments today, the out
standing feature was the birth of an
entirely new bureau in the police de
partment, organized with 15 of the
city's most skilled criminal hunters to
track down the perpetrator of the crime
Saturday and to keep on its files the
name of every anarchist and dynamiter
known and their movements: to attend
public anarchistic meetings and to fer
ret out secret conclaves.
Three More Expected to Die.
The number of dead in Saturday's
outrage still stood at six tonight, but
hospital authorities look for the
death of three others of the seriously
wounded. ,
The police beg-on their work today
systematically. All day long: they Ques
tioned all persons who responded to an
appeal to come forward and tell all
they knew or had seen. There were
several new clews which, although they
were intangible, the police seized upon
today in the hope of giving- the hunt
for the bomb plotter definite shape.
These consisted of a letter to James
"Woods. Police Commissioner and man
ager of the St. Francis Hotel, threaten
ing to poison his soup, and another let
ter to M. Lee. head waiter at the same
hotel, begging him to put the poison In
the soup because of Woods' sympathy
with the preparedness movement.
Writing Expert at Work.
The postal authorities also were
working in a search for the senders
of postcards containing similar threats.
These were all placed in the hands of a
handwriting expert.
District Attorney Fickert declared
today that the Federal authorities
would co-operate in every way with
the police in the hunt, which, he said,
would be nation-wide. It is Fickert's
opinion that the outrage was part of a
nation-wide propaganda, and he said
police of other cities would be asked
to co-operate.
The contributors to the reward fund
up to the present time are: Mayor
Rolph, 14000; Chamber of Commerce,
$5000; Board of Supervisors. $1,000:
fctate of California. J1000 (through
Governor Johnson); R. W. Kinney,
$1000; B. F. Kinney. $1000; B. F. Lam
born. $1000; Alameda County Super
visors, $1000 (if legal): total. $14,000.
Mayor Rolph offered $5000 in the
name of the city, but it was found that
legally only $1000 could be offered.
"I'll pay the balance out of my own
pocket." said the Mayor.
MRS. WYMORE IX NO DANGER
Former Portland Woman Not as
Serious as Keportcd.
A telegram received yesterday by
Kric Brown, of Portland, said that his
sister. Mrs. L. O. Wymore, who was in
jured in the bomb outrage at San Fran
cisco, was in no danger. Both Mrs.
AVymore's legs were broken. The rlrst
report to be received said that one leg
had been blown off and that the ampu
tation of the other had been neces
sary. Mrs. TVymore is a former resident
of this city. She moved to Oakland
four years ago. Her brother is em
ployed in the sales department of the
Pell Telephone Company, and her
mother, Mrs. Alice H. Brown, resides
t 277 "Willamette boulevard. Her
father Is a well-known stockman of On
tario. Or.
Mrs. Brown hastened to her daugh
ter as soon as the news was received.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Wymore were only
a short distance from the bomb when
it exploded. Mr. "Wymore and their
two children escaped injury.

SUBTERFUGE MADE PLAIN
MRS. CIPRIANO CASTRO.
Mme. Clpriano Castro was photographed July 19, upon l.er arrival In New
Tork after having been freed from Ellis Island, where she and her husband
had been detained awaiting decision from the Labor Department.
Senor Castro and his wife received the order from Secretary of Labor Wil
son admitting them into the United States with great Joy. Senor Castro,
when told of the news, said: "It is only what I expected. It Is only one
more example of American Justice an d fair play."
Senor Castro attempted to enter tb e United States in 1913, and when asked
questions concerning the death of Ge neral Paredes, a political opponent in
Venezuela, refused to answer. At th e hearing held at the Island on Sunday
he answered all Questions and denied any guilt with General Paredes'
death.

ELECTRICITY DRAWS BUGS
On the hip of each is an ugly-looking
revolver and a bullet-crowded "belt.
Everywhere are the indications of an
early-day frontier town. The big pay
roll of the soldiers has caused an un
usual freeness of money here.
Mexican currency of various issues,
obtainable at five cents a piece, has
become the most popular souvenir to
be sent home by the Federalized militia
stationed at the border.
The replacing of candles by electric
lights has worked a new hardship on
the battery that nearly counteracts all
of the benefits. Numberless insects,
bugs and small vermin are attracted
by the bright lights and must be
brushed from the bunks before the
troops can retire.

feet above the ground. an excellent
view of the submersible can be ob
tained. Way 4o Safety Pointed Out.
A most interesting turn was given
to the possibility of the Deutschland's
escaping and making the trip to Ger
many. It was pointed out that the
submersible might slip out to sea on
her return voyage in the wake of a
freight vessel of one of the allies
Such being the case, the submarine
would really be protected by the
freighter. In the wake of this vessel.
It would be impossible for those aboard
the cruisers of the allied nations to
detect the presence of the undersea
craft by means of their microphones,
a submarine telephone arrangement
with which all are equipped.
This theory was advanced by George
M. Williamson, of New York, a sub
marine expert, who says that in this
way the submarine would be out of all
danger of being stopped and could es
cape without beitLK aetected.
Oregon Boys at Calexico Send Up
Ringing Cheer for Man "Who
Started Fund to Provide Lux
uries for Artillerymen.
CALEXICO. Cal, July 20. (Special.)
Twenty feet from the Mexican bor
der. The throb of the engine that is
the life of the Mexican and American
settlements pulsates through the 85
foot steel tower and the writer's hand
quivers, as he makes a notation of
his surroundings.
Almost directly below the Irrigation
ditch that marks the border pours a
steady stream into the four reservoirs
that overlap each other. Here the water
is filtered for drinking. Should the
Mexicans shut off the supply which
originates on the southern side of the
boundary they would work an equal
hardship on themselves. The water is
not fit for use unless purified at the
filtering station here.
Almost directliy in front of this
tower is situated the Mexican guard
house or Jail. In the fading light a
detachment of 20 or 23 soldiers, pos
sibly police, file down the street. Be
fore the ground-hugging place of im
prisonment two of the Mexicans fall
out and lounge idly on a shaky porch.
The rest disappear inside dragging
dusty rifles. In a well laid out plaza
directly opposite a few stragglers
stroll up to the vacant bandstand in
the center. The dusk almost bides the
only two-story brick building in the
town. Just past this is the Mexican
garrison with its 1500 men and 150
foot outlook crowsnest and wireless
outfit.
Only a few of the dusky soldiers re
main during the day, the majority en
trenching until night about 10 miles
south.
The main street is the crooked sun
hardened entrance to Mexican. At the
head of the road stands the browned
Mexican customs house with its guards
sitting with rifle-crossed knees. A
string of well-lighted stores are pat
ronized freely.
The Owl Theater, the gambling den
and center of night life, is fronted by
a gaudy throng. Poorly constructed
homes half encircle the business cen
ter. Few Americans reside in Mexican.
The prison is in the block oppostt "The
Owl."
Now night envelops the bleak hills
bevond. The band strikes into a lively
air. A sombrero-hidden woman skilfully
halts her pony and dismounts. Two
or three dust-laden autos help Increase
the growing crowd in the pi
Inserts Cload Nlghtm.
The lights of Calexico are flashed
on, and a swirl of insects almost clouds
out all illumination. Big and little they
are attracted to the arcs. On the
American side the residences are strung
over about four square miles. Just out
side the square of street arcs and di
rectly opposite the Mexican garrison
the lighted tents or the American en
campment may be seen.
Into Mxicali a steady line of Mexi
cans, white-clad Americans and flashily-dressed
women are pouring. Neat
stores have attracted a throng of sol
diers. Itinerant dealers are busy, too
Everywhere there Is the appearance of
a newly-established and thriving town.
Many sewers and water pipe lines are
only half completed. Night has halted
a further perspective of the country.
The writer dizzily begins the down
ward climb on a few feet of ladder,
and then steel frame-work. Unnoticed
by the patrols on either side he Is lost
in the mixed crowd. In Mexican three

True Purpose of Amedment to Block
Building Programme) Only
Other Coast Senator Voting
Aye Was Brandegee.
OREGONTAN' NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. July 24. Senator Chamberlain
and Senator Lane, of Oregon, although
they voted for the big naval building
programme carried by the Senate naval
appropriation bill, actually Joined with
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, and other
"little-navy" Senators to postpone in
definitely the construction of all the
warships authorized by the navy Dill.
No more foolish amendment was pro
posed to the naval appropriation bill
than that offered by Senator Noma,
which sought primarily to block the
naval building programme and virtual
ly to nullify the main provisions of the
naval bill. Fortunately all but 11 een
ators, eight of these from the Missis
sippl Valley? voted against this amend
ment and it was defeated by a vote of
33 to 11. The only Coast Senator to
support the Norris proposal, other than
the two Senators from Oregon, was
Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut.
Constractton Would II e Deferred.
The amendment proposed by Senator
! Norris and supported by the Oregon
Senators provided:
That the construction of the battleships
and battle cruisers herein appropriated for
shall not be commenced until tbe President
has made an effort to secure an agreement
for the establishment of a permanent in
lternatlonal court of arbitration as herein
proviaea. At in concuun di i'i.
Europe the President of the United States
is hereby authorized and directed to propose
to the belligerent nations that the United
States Government desires to Join In the
treaty of peace to the extent of providing
For the establishment of a permanent in
ternational court of arbitration;
For the limitation of armaments; and.
For the establishment and maintenance of
an International navy to enforce the decrees
of such court. If such treaty Is agresd upon
as a result of such negotiations with the
belligerent nations or with the leadinc na
tions now engaged in -war. then the appro
priation herein made tor said battleships
and battle cruisers shall lapse, and the same
shall not be constructed: and provided.
Further. That la negotiating such treaty
the President Is hereby authorised to pro
vide for the turning over of such part or
parts of our present Navy to constitute our
contribution to such International navy as
may be agreed upon In such treaty.
Senator Not Yet Awake.
Senator Norris is one of the few
dreamers of the United States senate
who has not yet awakened to the fact
that international agreements are
worth nothing in times of stress; he-is
one Senator who has not been im
pressed by the lessons of the European
war, and, likewise, he Is one who sees
no necessity for adequate prepared
ness in the United States. He is recog
nized aa one of the prime leaders of the
"little-navy" forces in Congress, and
how the Oregon Senators, supposedly
holding diametrically opposite views,
came to vote for the Norris amendment
is a mystery.
Neither Oregon Senator discussed the
amendment prior to its rejection by the
Senate.
Sergeant Harry C. Premo has become
the official barber, and at no time
has any leisure. The boys who did
not have their heads clipped are eager

chair.
The four cooks have the laugh on

some freak of fortune each has a mos

"Jeff." the Battery hen. has met an
unusual enemy. A stray cat wandered
into camp. He sniffed about inquisi
tively and sought out Jeff's food dish.
But Jeff had taken care of similar in
truders before. Nor on this occasion
was he found wanting. Without hesita
tion he dashed (that's as fast as this
chicken in this hot country can go)
over to Mr. Thomas Feline and pecked
him tantaiizingiy between the eyes.
The cat's tall betrayed its anger, its
back bristled and Its eyes glared but
it made no move. Jeff cocked his head
Inquiringly, surprised at the inaction of
Mr. Thomas Cat. Jeff looked again,
then with a disgusted swagger strode
away.
The Camp was cheered todav by the
arrival of a letter from a popular cor
poral, who was eliminated by the ex
amination because of an injury to his
arm. He is glad to be on his way home
but nearly broke down when it came
time to leave.
Sergeant Klkins has almost entirely
recovered from the injury to his knee.
He Is up and about and more active

who is in charge of the canteen. His
